Lol..... why didn't you show us this?

The fact that the page you displayed said "they also saw period of rule by the Binis" just shows that Binis are not the original owners.

Good. so Lagos belongs to Aworis and the Land know as Lagos belongs to the Yoruba of the South West.. very simple.. if the Yoruba are the owners of the lands occupied by the Aworis it them means the Aworis and their land belongs to the Yorubas. Eniti oleru loleru, Eniti oleru lo leru.. Case closed.. If the Aworis and Benis are tired and marginalised they can always go back to Dahomey or Ibini and live the expanse of Land called Lagos to the rightful Yoruba owners.. Am a Yoruba 100%

What a useless thread. Nigeria is a country whose citizens are bound together by a Social Contract known as The Constitution, so, at least in principle, every where in the country belongs to NIGERIANS.

All these pointless ethnic controversies that serve no purpose than create division and sink our national ship deeper in the dirty sea of chaos are among the reasons why Nigeria is so fücked up.

Stüpid, jobless, cretin. Lagos belongs to the Binis, indeed! Why not chase out all settlers and bring in Binis from Edo State to come and take their place. Nonsense. undecided

I was able to learn a few things about my tribe, anyway. I wonder how I managed to be so ignorant of Yoruba history. Not cool. grin

Did Ajayi-Bembe tell you he was speaking on behalf of the Oba?? shocked

He is claiming Lagos for Bini that is more than enough - so if Oba believes in his mission he should keep quiet. If he does not he should speak up. If some Yoruba man goes to any non-Yoruba part of Nigeria and claims the land for Yorubas, we Yorubas including our traditional rulers will disown him without hesitation. Nigeria's survival depends on the peaceful coexistence of the various tribes. That is why ipob pigs are working over time to sow inter-tribal discord everywhere. If the Oba does not stand up now and act like a grown up - he will gba bo de in no time.

The guy that said this is so stupid. Where did these so called Bini settlers find women to marry and give their children Yoruba names. Not Bini names. Even Oshodi tapa married so many Yoruba women and Oshodi tapa came when slavery was booming in Lagos, he was to be sold as a slave. Lagos is far older than the time Oshodi tapa came to Lagos. This man is obviously not sound or he has lost his mind. I am Lagosian from Lagos Island and I am not Bini. My family has been in Lagos Island before the Bini. Not a lot of Lagos Island families trace their lineage to Bini. Even Obanikoro he is trying to familiarize himself with has denied it. The scion of the family he claims to come from denied his own claims... the man is a mad man looking for attention.

Why are you people wasting your time here. Pa Okunnu was tried to explain what was earlier attributed to him. This ajayi bembe just worsened the whole matter by publicly displaying his ignorance. Publicly he said Idu Iganran (location of Oba of Lagos palace) is not a Yoruba name. Well, except Ijebu Remo is not in Yoruba land. That place was pepper farm & settlement for Ijebu remo pepper sellers & farmers. Iganran is an Ijebu remo name of a type of pepper . Idu is a farm or settlement. Idu Iganran is a pepper farm or settlement. This is an ancient Ijebu Remo name. This can be found in some libraries in Lagos where old books of history on Lagos is kept. Time would not permit me to explain Idumota & Idumagbo.

The EYO masquerade was brought to Lagos from Ijebu Remo. Despite the fact that the Remo town has forgotten about the masquerade, this is what is being celebrated in Lagos Island. Is Eyo masquerade from Bini or Iperu?

On the issue of Awori, Pa Okunnu & Jayi Benbe would have told us more stories about Isheri Olofin, Iddo and about Olu Iwa (Oluwa) the owner of Apapa to Ojo land. How did the name Awori came to being?

I was aware of non recognition of the Oba of Lagos by the late Ooni of Ife (Ooni Sijuwade) as a first class Yoruba oba. Ooni Sijuwade was right. A first class Oba must have his Crown link to Ife. This created problem for the Oba of Lagos who found his root back to Benin. The Oba of Lagos (Eleko) historically was only for part of Lagos Island. This is now history. Ajah & Ibeju Lekki have their rulers despite Olumegbon harassments in Ajah.

The Yorubas have been in Lagos before the Binis were invited by the Lagos Island ruler 'Eleko' .Eko is is an area after the present Carter bridge at Otto covering the island, this excludes 'IRU' the present VI. The story of Lagos independent of West came after colonization.

You're just ranting unnecessarily online. You think you can cunningly coerce Binis to cede Lagos state to Yorubas?
What have you done about the Obas and several other people who have affirmed that Lagos doesn't belong to the Yorubas?
Better steer clear of Lagos.

How can you cede what you do not own.Logic is not your friend I can clearly see. First you have to TAKE Lagos from Yorubas before you can cede it. Good luck - you are going to need it and a million years to even come close to getting a square inch of the lagoon. And don't you worry -all the agents of the Oba of bini currently disguising as local champions in Lagos will be taken care of in no time. They are showing themselves now, when we start putting them (and their generations) in their place they should not come crying victimization.

Guy, the Oba of Benin will never put his mouth into any petty controversy. sad The fact still stands that Ajayi-Bembe was not sent on that nefarious errand by the Oba of Benin.

When he made his controversial statements, he never claimed to be speaking on behalf of the Omo n'Oba, or as an emissary of the Oba. He has not even been acclaimed or recognised as a Benin indigene, by the Ovb'iedo. He just calls himself one - this is a person that is well-known to be a Lagosian Yoruba indigene, o! shocked The person who should call him to order is the Oba of Lagos, since he is making claims about his own domain, right within his territory!!

Please face the IPOB-Igbo clowns squarely, and give them a befitting response. Whatever Ajayi-Bembe thinks or says is his own business, and not the headache of the Oba of Benin!

All this 'traditional' land ownership is part of the reason as to why Africa has so many problems.

Go to Wyoming in America and tell them the land belongs to California - see how they will throw you out forcefully without hesitation. Traditional land ownership is a world wide phenomenon. Africa's problems are caused by corruption and inept leadership.
