Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti has had his say on the back and forth debate on the true ownership of Lagos.
Oba of Benin Ewuare II during his visit Sunday to Lagos State reechoed the much debate about who founded Lagos, saying that Lagos was part of the old Benin Kingdom. However, some Lagos chiefs disagreed.
Commenting on the matter Wednesday, Mr. Kuti said on video posted on his X page:
“Why are you guys shouting, ‘Lagos is Igbo land, Lagos is Yoruba land?’ Lagos is a white man’s land. Go to the Ministry of Land in Lagos and see how many percent of land in Lagos Yoruba people own.
“The whole of Nigeria, look at your oil industry, who is controlling it? It’s the whites. They hide it in plain sight. Eko Hotel, is the most expensive real estate in the whole of Lagos, who owns it? Is it you? Now, Eko Atlantic is an extension of Eko Hotel, owned by the same foreigners.”
