If you go through history, you would understand that Lagos is Aworiland. The Aworis are from Benin. So the Bini have more claims to Lagos than any other tribe. In fact, if not for colonialism, Lagos should be a vassal of the Benin kingdom.

This is for those claiming that Lagos belongs to them. Yorubaland is Ile-Ife and Oyo and co. It doesn't extend to Lagos.

Yorubaland is landlocked.

What do you intend to achieve from this argument?

It should be obvious enough to you. For those saying others are trooping to Lagos, when they too are trooping to Lagos are being hypocritical. If anyone should complain that people are trooping to Lagos, they should be the Aworis, who own Lagos and the Binis, who own the Aworis. Clear enough?

Are you a Bini first? If you're not, your interpretation isn't tenable.

Since the days of Azikiwe, una eyes no comot SW!

We are talking of Aworiland, not SW. If Awori or Bini are not complaining, why must you complain that people are coming to do business in Aworiland. I do not mind you complaining if you do not want people to come and do business in Yorubaland, but not Lagos. Only Bini and Aworis have that right.

My boy, Yorubas are not cursed with intra-tribalism atall-atall, OK?
Unlike some that will argue that "ikwere-igbos", " ukwani-igbos", "etche-igbos", " delta igbos" "ika-igbos" "Onye-abakalikis", "OSUs" are not 'real igbos' (whatever that means), yorubas don't roll like dt!

Mind u there are scores of intra-ethnic yoruba groups.......even up to north central (ie kogi and kwara) but u will never hear one demean and undermine d other.

You are soooo divisive even amongst urselves dt u think everyone reason archaically like you
You guys have a loooog way to go!

Who do you think you are ?


Lagos is Aworiland

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland

The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally



On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area including Seme Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War .

The Oyos had initially also taken Allada ,Ouidah and Cotonou at the time but the King of Dahomey had managed to take them back while the Oyo were very busy fighting the Power drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin

The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns
aare oona kakanfo oyabi had led the Oyo Army

The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland including Iddo Island and all the Territory from there to Abeokuta Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.

The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan

The Ijebu Army Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki including Victoria Island

All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was Awori Yoruba with Oyo roots

Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,

Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were also fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos

Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade

The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans


Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today

Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878

The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period

The Land on Which Isale Eko of the Oba of Lagos is located belongs to the Awori Yoruba Aromire family till today

Aromire was one of the Sons of Olofin Ogunfuminire

The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos

It was the returnee Egba Slaves who had been Converted to Christianity at Sierra Leone Bishop Ajayi Crowther included that asked the British Queen Victoria to invade Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in order to finally end the Evil Slave trade

Bishop Ajayi Crowther had met with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert her Husband at Windsor Castle over the Issue of how to finally end the Slave Trade in Lagos on 18th November 1851 and the Royal British Navy Bombarded Lagos one month Later on 26th of December 1851.

Bishop Ajayi Crowther who was originally from Osogun near Oyo had himself at age 13 been sold to a Portuguese Slave Trader at Lagos for a bottle of Wine and some Tobacco leaves

Capt Labulo Davies who later married Queen Victoria’s adopted Daughter Sarah Bonnetta (Aina) originally from Ilaro , was on the British ship that Bombarded Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in 1951 and Oba Akitoye whom the British had restored to the Throne of Lagos had first met the British Missionaries at Abeokuta while he was exiled there as Abeokuta was also Oba Akitoyes Owu mother’s Hometown he had promised. to end the Evil Slave Trade if the British helped to restore him to his Throne which his nephew Oba Kosoko had Usurped with the help of some local and Portuguese Slave traders after Oba Akintoye had driven the Portuguese Slave Traders out of Lagos 6 years earlier

Slave Trading was Oba Kosoko’s Business and his Slave Market was at Ereko Market of Isale Eko on Lagos Island where he also sold European made Goods

Ok listen to the Oba of Lagos Himself
At 25 mins of the Video below what exactly did the Oba of lagos mean when he Said
"I am a Yoruba monarch" ?

Azikiwe coveted Lagos

Ojukwu Coveted Lagos and sent his Army to attack and Seize it

Nnamdi Kanu Sent his IPOB Thugs to Burn down Lagos and actually opened his gutter drain mouth to
say that as long as Lagos was still Standing there could never be Biafra , his broadcast is still on YouTube

Lagos is blessed and even her enemies know it

Here is ur answer, those mofo are fuckin greedy

Aworis are Yorubas from Ile Ife. Those who studied History know that for sure. There's meaning in the word Awori which also resonates in Isheri where Olofin Ogunfunminire, their progenitor first settled.

The OP couldn't even bring himself to admit that all Eastern Lagos is in Ijebuland
Not to talk of acknowledging that the Awori are Yorubas

ScamHunter:


Correct

Yorubaland is landlocked.

Apart from Lagos Ondo Ijebu Coastline even Seme and Porto Novo Coast in Benin Republic are Yorubaland

God Almighty went Overtime and Overboard in blessing Yorubaland

We must Thank and Bless him for all his Mercy which we don't even deserve



Ps : You do know the Itsekiri in Delta State are Yorubas too don't you ?

On the day God Almighty was sharing out the Sea Coasts, he sent the Angels to bring his long Tape Rule when it was the turn of the Yorubas

God was in such a beautifully Generous and magnanimous mood on that day

We must just always Bless and Thank him for his Mercy especially when we remember the Eminent Rogues our Forefathers were
