Fani-Kayode answers questions on the real founder of Lagos
The former minister said:
"Those who claim that the Bini founded Lagos are indulging in historical revisionism and pure falsehood.
"The Bini did NOT find Lagos, the Yoruba did.
"Again those who claim that Lagos is a "no man's land" are intellectually challenged and hopelessly misinformed.
"Lagos is NOT a "no-man's land", she is Yoruba.
"All the self-serving and revisionist poppycock, Gobellian propaganda, historical abracadabra, nonsensical gobbledegook and disingenuous disinformation being peddled around by aliens, outsiders and non-indgenees about the origins of Lagos, her people and her history must cease forthwith lest the younger generation are misinformed and misled and the people of Lagos are robbed of their true history and identity.
"I am glad to see that the Balogun of Eko, Abisoye Oshodi, has risen to the occassion and sought to set the record straight. Kudos to him!
"I say it again, Lagos was FOUNDED by the Yoruba and she IS Yoruba!
"Facts are sacred and opinion is cheap!
