Seun Kuti claims Lagos State belongs to the Portuguese
-
Seun Kuti sparks outrage as he makes a preposterous assertion about the ownership of Lagos.
Seun Kuti, a Nigerian Afrobeat singer and the son of the late musician Fela Kuti, has asserted that Lagos State is Portuguese territory, which has stirred up debate.
In light of the upcoming gubernatorial elections, the ownership of Lagos has been the subject of heated dispute for many years. Several parties have staked out opposing points of view.
Kuti, however, has received a lot of attention for his claim that Lagos belongs to the Portuguese.
In a recent string of Instagram posts, Kuti asserted that Lagos is Portuguese property because the Portuguese were the first Europeans to set foot in the region.

“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!! Hey, ode look here, 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.
“You are living in a colonial matrix of European domination. If you don’t understand that at least, u can’t understand anything.”
Someone should go to the airport and say ‘give me a ticket to Eko’ and see what happens. Lagos is the official name. Why do think only parents name children? Whoever named is your owner in the existential sense. Without that person named u, u can’t exist.”
