The ‘Yoruba Conservatives’ has cleared the air on ownership of land in Lagos stating that no amount of proof of ownership can stop them from retrieving any land on Lagos soil.
Some people believe because they have lived in Lagos for years and own a property or land means they have same right as Yoruba. But thats not true. You are in Lagos to do business, and because Yoruba welcome and accommodated you by selling you a land doesn’t mean those land are gone. Absolutely not! You don’t own the land, you are only permitted to use it as long as you don’t disobey or disrespect your host Yoruba. Which means you own that land because you and the seller are in good terms.
Even if you paid millions to acquire it, that doesn’t stop us from getting the land back. There are many reports flying everywhere that Igbos said they own Lagos and they already bought all the land. This make me laugh because according to us, we don’t agree and believe in what they believe.
The certificate of occupancy is between you and the government but not between us. We never for once believe in that. We don’t do things on court order. We do things on our own. We can demolish any building without court order, we can give a quit notice to landlord without a court order if we think such landlord is chewing more than he can bite or disrespecting the native people of Lagos.
If certificate of occupancy is the reason why anyone will say they own a place, then I think they already missed the point dealing with people like us. Yoruba Conservative is a native movement that is guided by ancestral history, not by any court.
You can give it any definition or call us any names, but that’s the fact. Therefore if anyone thinks having a C of O can make him disrespect us by talking anyhow, then the person has missed it. We will definitely come for such person sooner or later.
If you lived in the UK or US, even if you are a citizen, you still have to respect the native English or Native Americans. The moment you start misbehaving, you may be in trouble.
Yoruba in UK, US and even within Nigeria has never called another tribe land a No Man’s Land even if they have lived their for hundred years. You will never hear our people disrespecting their host. So why should we allow that from foreigner.
In igboland, they don’t even sell land to non igbos, they only care about themselves. So if you come to Lagos and start misbehaving, then you must face the consequences of your action; and the time has come already.
