Afonjas pack ur load and leave

You are dodging my question.

There was no royalty before King Ado, not even a palace. The birth of the royalty of Lagos Island was from King Ado and since he conquered the place and name it Eko, makes all who succeed him his descendants. I also know that deceased Lagos Kings were sent to Benin to be buried and paid royalty to Benin but that stopped after sometime.

Now since its the royal families that owns the land and are the authority over the land, doesn't that mean Benin are by the conquest and Ado, owners of Lagos?

ProWalker:



Just like Igbos are using number to control Onitsha, a Benin settlement

Mr Ajayi you and Bini kingdom are subservient to the crown at Ile-Ife

Who gave him the authority? Your Nri priest, or your dilector?

Not anymore. Go back and read up on the history of Logos.

Moorish:
For the uneducated, please know these facts

The original Settlers of Lagos: Awori

How they arrived in lagos: The Awori left ife and were instructed by an[b] ifa oracle (priest) from ife to put a plate in the ocean and follow it and settle wherever it sinks. They followed the plate till it sank in the Atlantic Ocean,[/b] they called themselves Awo Ti Ri meaning the plate has sunk, hence their name the AWORIS

Lagos is Yoruba, however the king of Benin sent an expedition to lagos island, and was able to conquer parts of the island and called it eko, meaning war camp. So yes, lagos does have a Bini influence, however the original settlers are sons of ife

Hope that clears it up

take the matter to the Lagos house of Reps, with the Igbo reps

WrathOfHadez:
Let his ghost be. Bini are not claiming Onitsha but Lagos and Zik never claimed he was Bini as Chief Layi Ajayi -Bembe is claiming.

Tough call.

Blackfyre:
Not anymore but they did before right? I believe I acknowledged this bit in the post you quoted so I don't know what makes you feel I need to read up.

However, the question still remains, from the time of King Ado l, the Benin prince, the ancestry of the royal families of Lagos Island are Benin, aren't they?

Urchman27:

You can say that without crying

YourNemesis:


Do Ajayi is now both Yoruba and Edo name abi Yoruba mame that entered Edo history and existence together with a lot of others.

Who told ypu that the Eti-osa in Lagos has anything to do with the Edo name Etinosa?
The Yoruba pronunciatipn of Èkó isn’t even the same as the Ędo pronunciation which has a different tone all together and starts with a Ę rather than an E

Don’t worry Lagos schools will soom begin Yoruba language classes so that people can know the meanings of some of these words they see everyday around Lagos.

The old man is just a confused human being.

He said Lagos is not a Yorubaland but he agreed that Aworis are original owners.

Are Aworis part of Binis or Yorubas?

Revisionists will always fail in their attempt to re-write history.

He said it is Yorubas that have Obas and Binis have Eleko. Why is Akiolu bearing Oba.

Why is the title of Bini that of an Oba?

The crown in Bini as at today is that of the Yorubas. The original Bini king lost their crown to the last Ogiso that either died or flew away, as their myth says.

Whatever that crown in Bini owns, is ours.

ritababe:


there will be no division, it will never happen and even if it happened what makes you think we can't live alone instead of fighting for lands, we have everything like oil and farm products, so why fight?

YourNemesis:


Wrong.

There were ruling families before Ado. Today, they are the white cap chiefs (Idejo)- and remain the real power brokers of Lagos island.

Research them and you’ll see.

LaExpert:


No, I agree that Yorubas had a king that came from Bini.

Oduduwa wasn't the first 'Yoruba' man.


Do you agree the Bini throne is subservient to the Ooni's throne?

if you disagree, kindly state your reason(s).

liberalsinnerx:
Biafraans are willing to offer help to Edo to drive these afonja cancer out of Lagos and chase them with koboko to their rustic, muddy states of Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo and Ekiti. Greedy Land grabbers.

flyover30:
what about the gods they serve.any difference?

talk2percy:
it's Igbo not Ibo. And what are u even saying??

laudate:

Have you ever seen any Bini man, especially from the royal family, ever laying claim to Lagos? They do not engage in such petty controversies. Only attention seekers from Lagos do that.

And for the record only parts of Lagos island had anything to do with the Bini. Areas like Ikeja, Surulere, Ilupeju, Gbagada, Maryland, Agege, Ipaja, Badagry, Lekki, Ibeju, Epe, Magodo, Ikorodu etc., had absolutely nothing to do with the Bini.

laudate:

You are still repeating the same question, which I told you to go back and conduct some studies to get answered. Are you allergic to research?

YourNemesis:


You mean the Yoruba gods being worshiped by Edos?

Efewestern:


I hail oo.

you were the supporting Edo the other day when they were laying claim to ijaw land, now here u are saying otherwise.

lol.. NA so, .
