Lagos is a white man’s land – Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti has declared that “Lagos is the white man’s land.” He contradicted the recent surge of different Nigerian ethnic groups asserting ownership of Lagos, stating that the true proprietors are foreigners who possess the majority of the city’s real estate and wealth.

He expressed concern over the fact that the economy of Lagos, and Nigeria as a whole, is being overseen by “foreigners.”

Speaking in a recent Instagram live session with fans, Kuti said, “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.”
