March 07, (THEWILL) – Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, has joined the debate on who the real owners of Lagos State are.
He said Lagos is neither for Yorubas nor a no man’s land, but a European satellite slave port.
Ahead of the governorship poll on Saturday, there is an ongoing debate on who the true owners of Lagos are.
The youngest son of iconic Afrobeat pioneer, late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, advised people to familiarise themselves with history, insisting many know nothing about Lagos.
He wrote: “Lagos is no man’s land – WRONG. Lagos is Yoruba land – WRONG AGAIN. Lagos is a European satellite slave port – CORRECT! You don’t know Lagos!!
“LAGOS IS A PORTUGUESE WORD. It is called the SLAVE COAST. Learn your history, you no go gree.
“Everyone moved to Lagos to SLAVE!! All Prominent Lagos Elites are SLAVERS. Defend your masters all you want!
“Why IBADAN no get Portuguese name? Wetin be the French name of Oshogbo? He who names it, Owns it.”
