Lagos Indigenes Warn of Identity Crisis Amid Certificate Issuance Changes

Indigenes of Lagos, led by Dotun Omisakin and Lasisi Robert of the Media Office de Renaissance Patriot Foundation, are cautioning against an "identity crisis" in Lagos. The concern stems from the shift in the issuance of indigeneship certificates from local government authorities to a new state general certificate, sparking fears of diluting Lagosians' identity.

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has reportedly started rejecting indigeneship certificates issued by local governments, raising alarm among communities and students. This move bypasses traditional institutions and risks eroding the cultural heritage and sovereignty of Lagosians.
