"oriki Eko": Who Originated It? by supereagle(m): 3:04am On Dec 30, 2009
Eko akete Ile ogbon

Eko arosese majae ilu eko ko ya bu omi suru mu

Eko, aro mi sa legbe legbe

Eko o ni baje o

“B’oju o ba ti Ehin’gbeti, oju o ni t’Eko

From what I learnt in History, I learnt that Eko was founded by Bini people, Bini people will always tell you that Eko was corrupted word of Ekoe, I can't remember the meaning now. But Bini people do not speak the real Yoruba to the best of my knowledge,but Eko people speak diluted yoruba.
The real Omo Eko should please tell us the origin of the" Oriki Eko"
Don't contribute if you are grounded on the history of Eko and Bini.

why didnt you post this on the oriki thread and what does this oriki have to do with Bini or the founding of Lagos?
