@drawanddesign@NC_Okonkwo@sowore@OfficialAPCNg Liar in chief, Doesn't matter how many times you say it , your lies won't turn to truth. I was a full grown adult with children during Jonathan era. I remember how big my Mikano generator was during Jonathan era and how often I had to buy diesel. Stop lies.
@owolanky I don't even rate their anger. Even if d Oriire children & teacher are rescued today (I pray in God's infinite mercy for their safe return), d children of hate will still be angry. You'll hear "ehn hen, what about bla bla bla." Progress should never be measured through their lens
@seyilaw1 He must still be feeling Obis hand crawling all over him.. Very disgusting behaviour, infact I'm seriously irritated by that act. I don't even care about gender, it's just wrong.
Imagine he's being interviewed by non Nigerian and he decides to disgrace us like this.
@Bayo_Bilisi He didn't get angry at his brother victimising themselves but needs push out a lie and to denigrate indigenous Lagosians by calling them scavengers.
@Khejex@Usmanashafe I don't feel the way you feel about this. Im a woman, guess that's why. I have a 15 year old girl and I still can't celebrate Baba Ijesha like I see those men doing and sharing it , even if he spent 20years in jail. Guess it's a man's thing.
The Oniru family of Iru Kingdom, were already here on this land long before Queen Victoria of England renamed it Victoria Island.
This was our ancestral territory under customary ownership for generations, Our people settled along the Marina, lived in fishing villages, maintained shrines, and exercised traditional rights as indigenous landowners, we were the landlords from the very beginning.
Historically, the Oniru family owned vast stretches of land that covered:
• The whole of the Marina
• Gbosere
• Onikan
• Parts of Southwest Ikoyi
• The entire Victoria Island
• Extending beyond to Okun Alajapa and other lagoon-side areas.
We also had influence and villages in places like Oko Eletu, Igbokusu Olomi (now Oyinkan Abayomi Drive), Ilado Creek, Isago Creek, Magoko Creek, and many others, these were swampy, water areas.
In 1948, the Lagos Executive Development Board (colonial authorities) formally acquired large portions, especially part of Victoria Island, from us. They paid £250,000 as compensation directly to the Oniru family for the land, plus an additional £150,000 for displaced inhabitants, tenants, and destroyed shrines. Some Residents were resettled at Maroko village. (equivalent to roughly £18.9 million GBP in today’s (2026) money based on UK inflation).
These acquisitions, along with earlier and later ones, helped transform the area through sand-filling, reclamation, and development into the prime real estate we see today. But the facts remain: Lagos authorities (colonial and post-independence) bought acquired these lands from us, the Oniru family.
We hold customary rights over Marina, Onikan, parts of Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and beyond.
Iru-Victoria Island and environs remains tied to our heritage.
We honor the progress and celebrate what these areas, from Onikan to Victoria Island have become the jewel of Lagos and Nigeria.

@Khejex@Usmanashafe I didn't say he should die but imagine being celebrated like this while the girl and her family continues to suffer bcos no amt of punishment can take the pain away. Even I as a complete stranger feels it. If that was your child, how will you feel.
