KingKO22:
Ordinarily, when you take a look at Lagos, it is surrounded by Yoruba land from Egba, Awori to Ijebu and Sagamu

So the Binin kingdom jumped all the entire Yoruba land from Ore, to Ijebu and Sagamu and found a place in another man's kingdom

The fact that you settle in a place doesn't make you the owner.

This history mainly pointing to the fact that Edo kingdom are from Yoruba land.
The names of their founder Kings are Yoruba names

The Binis got to Lagos (Lagos Island) via the sea. And according to history it a was argely an uninhabited island, they settled and later named it EKO which translates to war-camp in Benin language. And during that period there was no bridge and therefore Lagos island was disconnected or perhaps isolated from the mainland where the Aworis were said to be predominant

Padipadi:

Since they fabricated the Izoduwa or Ekaladerhan story, Benins have been filled with unnecessary jealousy of Yorubas.
All their stories defied logic and reasoning. Looking at their kingdom, Yoruba language, culture, practice etc dominated it with so much shame on them that they don't know the deep meaning of those words in their language, those practice or the history and ritual behind it. Yet they claim to be the owner. How can something you owned be more mastered by a stranger?
That means it's either you lied or you failed in ya task

Biodun556:
Why is Ogiso of Benin salivating over Lagos IGR?

Where are your Bini people in Lagos?

Which land are they occupying?

Aworis, ijebus, Egun and Egbas own Lagos with prove of land ownership

Is the Oba of Benin right about the founding of Lagos?

GO0DHardDick:
The entire Yorubas have been barking and ranting in agony and lamentation ever since the great oba of Benin made this shocking revelation.

I'll urge the Yolubas to respect their host as Lagos state and most Yorubaland belongs to the binis and are equally founded by the binis.

P.S no yooluba miscreant should quote, else you'll be seriously Ignored

thatigboman:
this ogbomosho man, go back to your fatherland. U are a stranger to Lagos.

JOemmy:



What about the oba of Lagos that claimed Bini heritage?

onosbaba3310:


You get time dey follow them argue? I don't know if they lack comprehensive skills or they just choosed to be foolish, simple English Dem begin dey talk trash up and down even their so called educated noYorubas

Iykenuwa:



Facts you can research:

1. Up till around 2013, the Lagos state official website stated clearly that Lagos was founded by the Benin Kingdom.

2. The origin of the Awori's: they were in Ife with Oduduwa in the palace and left Ife after his death to other places. Some versions say they actually came with Oduduwa to Ife and remained his closest companions: meaning, they most likely came from wherever Oduduwa came from originally. (Benin believe Oduduwa was their son, if that is correct, then that will explain why the Awori's received the people of Benin with open arms in Lagos.)

3. When Kosoko was dethroned by the British, some of his children and followers returned to Benin, and were offered a place to stay near the palace, that street is still in Benin today: Lagos street. They returned to Benin because they knew their origin, even the Oba of Lagos made this same claim a few years ago.

4. The Bajulaiye family in Lagos is an extension of the Bazuaye family in Benin, visit them and ask.

5. At the height of the Oyo Empire, its boundary with Benin was in Ekiti, meaning, places like Ekiti, Ondo etc, were all under Benin administratively.

6. Oranmiyan went to Ife because the people of Benin had gone to Ife to request that Oduduwa return home to rule after the demise of his father in Benin, but he refused saying he had already settled in Ife, and sent his own son, Oranmiyan instead.

Oranmiyan went to Benin, had some difficulties, and left to found the Old Oyo Empire. He did not found Benin or its kingship, his Father Oduduwa was a Benin Prince.



I will continue if you are able to refute any of the above with facts.

Oba Of Lagos is an Ijesha man

Princess Erelu Kuti's Son Ologun Kutere who was the 4tg Oba of Lagos and his father Alagba were both of Ijesha lineage
The Ijesha too had their own Settlement in Lagos called Abule Ijesha

If you even look at Oba Akiolu's appearance and his Comical behavior it is not difficult to believe that he has Ijesha lineage he even often acts like one

FiraO9:
Coneheads(Yorubas) will create different threads, bark, wail, cry, and groan bitterly on SM and none of it will take a bit of an effect in reality.

I don't just know who cursed miscreants from the tribe of a fallen demon that majority of them now behave like clowns.

Set awon brainless things.

it's only cry that u can cry. After crying, go back to your grandfather's cassava farm in osogbo.

Neddyogu:


According to ur write-up, some Yoruba groups predate Oduduwa. So hw come Oduduwa is held as the progenitor of the Yoruba people? Need more insight

christistruth01:



Boda Seyi Law Thank you Jare

Let us add more

Moba Yorubas were settled in Moba Lagos well before the 9th Century before Oduduwa whose Son Oranmiyan established the Benin Throne and Kingdom was Born
They are currently classified with the Awori people but we're in Lagos many Centuries earlier

In the 10th Century when the first Owa Obokun of Ijesha fetched from the Lagos Sea Water to cure Oduduwa's blindness there were already Moba Yorubas. In Lagos and he spent 2 months with them
The idol Worshippers Olokun diety was actually a Moba King called Seniade that ruled from an Island off the coast of Lagos that has now been Submerged by the Sea.
The Moba built the UNESCO world heritage 9th Century Eredo Wall near Ijebu and their kingdom included many Islands off the Coast of Lagos

They have now been included with the Awori people but we're actually the Original Inhabitants of Lagos and were in Lagos Centuries before Oduduwa was Born

The Oore of Otun Ekiti migrated from Moba in Lagos

Moba is near Victoria Island and their Crown predates Oduduwa's own


Yorubas forefathers might not have been great at Technology but God Almighty definitely gave them Prodigious History Art and Music
All Glory be to God Almighty

Ogene001:

So called educated tribe mixing up rubbish and calling it history. The whole yoruba academia can't come up with unbiased objective history

Benwallt:


The real Lagos land has been exhausted long ago due to unimaginable development and expansion. Lagos, very soon will swallow Ogun State and extend to Ibadan.

Abagworo:


But we were thought this in history

Padipadi:

That's when you ll know that the calmness of Yorubas isn't cowardice. People like you ll be profiled as terrorists. Shoot at sight.

Yorubas don't give a fûck about one Nigeria. If it want to break, it should shatter into pieces!

Donaldoni:


Nope

christistruth01:


If Oba Of Benin goes to Claim Onitsha now your own go pass this

jrusky:


You are a compound fool and exceptional idiot. What is Benin and what is Lagos? Oduduwa son became first king in Benin yet my Benin inlaw refused to accept Yoruba descedancy but now same Benin want Lagosian too to accept they founded Lagos whereas Lagos has be existing before Benin traders arrived in Lagos but a fool like you instead to read and understanding started embarrassing yourself displaying a blunt ignorant.

You are insulting the Yorubas are they nor better than your tribe claiming Jews they can't even defend or show any proof?

Listen and listen good this is a case of Palestinian claiming they owned Isreal land but failed to read the part of the Islamic history that said 600AD Mohammed came with his useless Jihadist war and overtook East Jerusalem and annexed it to Palstenian so the question is who did Mohammed fought Jihadist war with, goats or elephant or birds?

Same way some fools says Mary Slessor discovered River Niger, pls how Is the River and the habitat not living their before Slessor came?

Mr man Lagos is a Yoruba land Eko was just an island inside Lagos then so pls use your senses....

lexy2014:
kindly explain why he is not right

Donaldoni:


No time

lexy2014:


if you say that "Oduduwa son became first king in Benin" was that "first king in Benin" the one that gave birth to all the Binis that present days Binis now have to trace their ancestry to him?

also, is the Oba of Benin wrong in his claim that the Binis FOUNDED Lagos?

christistruth01:



There were Yorubas in Lagos before Oduduwa
was born

Segzy19:
Thank God nobody mentioned the 'developers' and Igbos in the history of Lagos... Otherwise, we for no hear word again...

Fact have been paid bare, and records have set straight. Lagos belongs to Awori people who are YORUBAS...

Let me not hear pim from anyone again on this matter...
