![JohnFanimokun's tweet photo. Lucky Onoriode George, Executive Director, African Travel Commission [ATC] speaks on Senator Oshiomhole Vs Air Peace Airline as a witness:
"I, along with seven other passengers, was booked on the 6:30 AM Air Peace flight in question. We arrived at the airport well ahead of the airline’s stipulated check-in deadline. We were denied boarding.
Upon seeing Senator Oshiomhole at the Air Peace counter, I approached him and explained the unfair treatment we were facing. I voiced my concern about the recurring exploitation and poor service endured by Nigerian travellers, a situation largely caused by the absence of a national carrier and the limited capacity of domestic airlines such as Air Peace.
In solidarity, Senator Oshiomhole intervened on our behalf. He approached an individual who identified himself as a supervisor and requested an explanation and possible resolution. This was particularly pressing given that we had been informed that tickets were still being sold that morning for as much as ₦250,000.
However, during radio communication between the check-in counter and the tarmac, we overheard a claim that the flight was “full.” This directly contradicted a later public statement by Air Peace Chairman, Mr. Allen Onyema, who admitted that the flight departed with empty seats.
Following further discussions, Senator Oshiomhole was eventually offered a seat on the 8:30 a.m. flight. The rest of us, however, were asked to pay a ₦15,000 rescheduling fee, and in some cases, an additional fare difference of up to ₦109,000.
Senator Oshiomhole strongly objected to this, rightly insisting that the airline, not the passengers should bear the cost of its operational failures.
The conduct of Air Peace staff throughout this ordeal was appalling. Their attitude was marked by arrogance, indifference, and a shocking lack of empathy. At one point, we were even told in no uncertain terms that if we were dissatisfied, we could “go to hell.” This prompted peaceful protests from the affected passengers, who demanded to be treated with fairness and respect.
Particularly troubling was the press release issued by Air Peace following the incident. The statement was riddled with inaccuracies and falsehoods. Rather than address its clear operational shortcomings, the airline chose instead to deflect blame and misrepresent the facts of what transpired.
For years, Nigerian airlines, with Air Peace chief among them, but have operated with little regard for passenger rights, frequently delaying, rescheduling, or cancelling flights with minimal or no explanation.
This culture of inefficiency, poor service, and disregard for consumers can no longer be tolerated."](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GtWDi08XwAANXT3.jpg)

Sheu Akeugbagold Fires At Islamic Extremists In Yorubaland — "You've Ruined Islam For Us And Given It A Bad Name. It Was Never Like This Until You Introduced Extremism And Absurd Preaching. You Tell People They'll Go To Hell If They Wear Their Trousers Below The Ankles And That They'll Be Killed If They Leave Islam. You Attack Christians And Traditionalists, Then Wonder Why They're Fighting Back. You Are The Problem. You Have Undermined The Peace And Religious Tolerance Yorubaland Was Known For."

Why was the coastal road moved from its original alignment along the Water
Corporation Road to the beachfront where there are 57 active businesses,
thousands of jobs, and millions of dollars worth of infrastructure? The original
route remains unused and undeveloped till date.
b. Why were properties not previously marked for demolition and outside the right
of way, demolished?
c. After the FG refusal to realign the route despite Landmark’s pleas to save the
infrastructure, businesses and jobs on the Landmark Beach, why was the route
later realigned to save infrastructure along the right of way after demolition at
Landmark had already taken place?
2. Due Process
a. Why was a contract of such magnitude awarded to a single contractor without a
competitive bidding process as confirmed by the Federal Minister of Works?
b. Why was a contract with such significant environmental and social impact
commenced without the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) as
required by law?
c. Hi-Tech, the construction company that was awarded the contract for the road
works is owned by the Chagoury Group who also own Eko Atlantic, the business
that is sand filling. The owner of the Chagoury Group, Gilbert Chagoury is also a
known personal friend of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Did this personal
relationship play a role in awarding the contract to Hi-Tech without a competitive
bidding process?
d. The Federal Minister of Works and members of the Ministry have been lodged in
Eko Hotel and holding official Federal Government stakeholder meetings in Eko
Hotel while on official assignment for the road. It is worth noting that the owner
of Eko Hotel is also the Chagoury group. Who is ultimately covering the costs for
the FG stay at the luxury 4 star hotel and conduct official government meetings
there as opposed to the Federal Ministry of Works office in Lagos?
e. Why was there no stakeholder engagement or consultation, especially with
impacted businesses, before the right of way was finalized and notice of
demolition?

This is a record of the ethnic breakdown of the population of Lagos as of 1891 from the colonial office in London. This document is still available via the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, London. It is sourced from John Payne's book, Table of Principal Events in Yoruba History, published by A. M. Thomas in 1893. The book is still available for purchase in antique bookstores. If anybody claims they built Lagos, they should naturally be included in this demographic.
May God bless the Hausa and Nupe, who have been contributing to the development of Lagos for over a century yet have never tried to usurp the rights and privileges of those who have been good hosts to them.

THE YORUBA TRIBES OF LAGOS & OTHERS IN 1891.
Island Aworis - 23.6%
Popo Badagry - 15.85%
Oyo - 11.6%
Ijebu - 11.01%
Mainland Awori - 9.26%
Egba - 6.05%
Ijesha - 4.32%
Yewa- 3.63%
Ekiti - 1.76%
Ilorin & Other Yorubas - 1.43%
Tapa - 1.86%
Hausa - 1.86%
Sierra Leone/Liberia Kru - 1.37%
As can be clearly seen, there is no state or major group currently in Yorubaland that did not have a significant population in Lagos already as far back as 1891.
WHO OWNS LAGOS: Assembly Urged to Rename Lagos Isheri State - https://t.co/KGuFWhLa4Y
Awori Ọba, The Olofin of Isheri Counters The Ọba of Benin
"You are very wrong, Aworis are the Founders of Lagos".
The Olofin of Isheri and Adimula of Awori Kingdom, Ọba Sulaimon Bamgbade, on Thursday unequivocally declared that the Aworis were the first people who established Lagos.
Ọba Bamgbade urged the Ọba of Benin, Ewuare II to retrace the origin of the Benin Kingdom to Ilé-Ifè, like the Aworis have always done and like the Benin king's fathers have always done for the greater part of history.
This is coming in response to a recent comment by Ewuare II, who attempted tracing the origin of Lagos to the Binis.
Reacting to the Benin Ọba's comment in a statement on Thursday, The Olofin said; " Contrary to Ọba Ewuare’s claims, Lagos was founded and established by Olofin Ogunfuminire Awogunjoye, the progenitor of all Awori people".
These facts are firmly established and supported by extant literature written by foreign authors and researchers such as Kristin Mann who in his book titled ‘Slavery and Birth of an African City: Lagos 1760- 1900,” wrote and I quote:
‘‘Migrant fishing people first settled in Lagos and from the beginning water and canoes had a prominent role in the lives of its inhabitants. Prior to the sixteenth century, Aworis, the southernmost of the Yorùbá-speaking people, dispersed from Isheri, a village twelve miles up the Ogun River. A group of them settled at what is now Ebute Metta, on the mainland.
The need for greater security drove the community to a smaller island in the lagoon opposite Lagos Island. There, they established two settlements, Otto and Iddo, and soon attracted fresh immigrants. In time, people from Iddo moved to the northwestern corner of the larger Island opposite, which eventually became known as Lagos, looking for land to farm.
The settlers recognised the paramount ruler called the Olofin, based in the more populous community of Iddo but tracing mythical descent from Isheri and via the founder of that village to Ilé-Ifè, the cradle of Yorùbá civilisation.”
The Awori Ọba further said, “Olofin Ogunfuminire left Ilé-Ifè to settle at Isheri before migrating with his wife, Ajaiye, to present-day Iddo in the heart of Lagos. It was at Iddo that Ajaiye was blessed with the fruits of the womb. Her offspring are the Idejo who became the actual traditional land-owners of all Lagos lands.
“The spatial region of the land owned by the Idejo spans from Lagos Mainland (Iddo) to Lagos Island and up to Eti-Osa which he allocated absolutely to his children and other descendants.
“In this regard, he assigned Iru to the Oniru, Ikate to the Elegushi, Lagos Island to Aromire, Iganmu to Ojora, Otto, and the mainland to the Oloto (up to Odo–Iya Alaro). Isheri was the dispersal point where other Olofin Ogunfunminire descendants left to found other Awori towns. For instance, Akeredun left Isheri to establish Igbesa, Odoyi left Isheri to found Agboyi, Osolo and Eleidi Atalabi left Isheri to foundnd Ota.
The Olofin further added:
“The Benin who later came to Lagos as mere traders to take advantage of Lagos's new found status as a Portuguese trading hub on the coast of West Afric met Olofin and his descendants on the island of Iddo, Èkó and its neighbourhood where they, Benin settled down and were well received and hosted by the community. As time went by, a feud broke out between the Benin trading party and their Awori hosts. Facing imminent defeat, the Bini traders called for reinforcements and assistance from the Ọba of Benin.
Olofin Ogunfunminire and his mentees vehemently and successfully repelled these attacks. As a compromise, and as part of the tolerant disposition which is the character of the typical Awori, the Benins were relocated to live with Idejo Aromire on his pepper farm (Oko Iganran) on Lagos Island at Iga Idungaran ( Iganran in Awori means pepper) where they introduced a more structured organisation on a local Awori prince of Isheri by name Ashipa.
The Balogun of Eko Abisoye Oyeyemi Oshodi responded to Oba of Benin and educated him about the history of Lagos. And advise About history
#DossierDuJour | Infrastructures sportives, routières, sanitaires… : Le gouvernement se donne les moyens de réussir la plus belle CAN
