Supremos: This mugu was deposed as a Lagos chief and she has been going around saying rubbish. Is she a historian? NO. Which of your forefathers told you this fake stories? Where were they published? People can differentiate between the establishment of a dynasty and the establishment of a town. It's just like saying that Uthman Dan Fodio founded Sokoto or that Alimi founded Ilorin. In the landmark case involving the Eleko (Lagos monarch), it was decided by the Privy Council in London that Lagos lands were owned by the white cap chiefs who were Aworis. How come? Why can't the journalists ask Erelu Dusumu and the Oba of Benin about this landmark case? 1 Like |

In the intricate tapestry of historical narratives, a parallel discourse emerges, akin to the complex interplay witnessed in the Niger Delta between the minority factions of Itsekiri and Ijaw. Within this narrative, a curious assertion surfaces, suggesting that the Igbo populace once found themselves ensconced in the role of subservience to these minorities. The perplexity deepens as one contemplates the improbable scenario of a numerical minority audaciously asserting dominance over a numerical majority. The perusal of historical annals is further enriched by the extension of this phenomenon to the Yoruba-Bini dynamic. The Bini, a majority in the expansive terrain of Edo state, endeavouring to wield influence disproportionate to their demographic standing, particularly in comparison to the vast Yoruba-dominant territories of the southwest. The intellectual contortion required to fathom such an inversion of numerical prowess raises the spectre of incredulity. As the veracity of these historical reverberations unfolds, one is compelled to reflect upon the broader implications and echoes of this historical dissonance. The assertion that minorities, in defiance of numerical logic, held sway over majorities, reaping the bountiful harvest of royalties, elicits a profound sense of wonderment. It is a saga where the conventional norms of dominance and subjugation seem to undergo a perplexing metamorphosis, leaving observers in a state of perpetual awe. In the crucible of historical scrutiny, echoes of Itsekiri and Ijaw accusations resound, claiming the Igbo as erstwhile subjects of servitude. This thematic recurrence, exemplified by the digital diatribe of Asari Dokubo, prompts a collective yearning for resolution and clarity. Satiating this intellectual thirst requires a meticulous untangling of historical threads, disentangling fact from conjecture. However, amidst the cacophony of historical grievances, a salient truth emerges. The current contours of the Nigerian landscape owe their existence to the collaborative efforts of the majority triad: Hausas, Igbos, and Yorubas. It is their collective synergy that has elevated Nigeria to a status transcending mere geographical boundaries, relegating other entities to the periphery in a manner analogous to Benin Republic, Ghana, and their ilk. As the unfolding chapters of history beckon, the trajectory of this intricate saga remains uncertain. The prism of time may illuminate hitherto obscured facets, allowing for a more nuanced comprehension of the dynamics that have shaped the Nigerian narrative. In the interim, we stand poised on the precipice of revelation, awaiting the revelation of truths veiled by the sands of time. |

Supremos: Even as an Igbo kid residing at Tom Jones area of Lagos Island in the 1970s....it struck me that there were similarities between the main Eyo masqurades that usually came out at the tail end of the eyo festivities.......a lot of the lagos princes were usually dressed like the Bini royalty and the swords they carried was exactly like that famous bini broad swords! 4 Likes |

The truth be said, if Lagos was founded by the Benins, Yoruba's would be the first to admit. There is no shame there. It is accepted that the Benin founded Eko, which probably means Isale Eko of today. But it is not the entire Lagos state The lack of written history is the root of the problem. 1 Like |

abbey621:Dummy. I meant that the British who met Yorubas in Oyo should be speaking Yoruba right now. What we're discussing is acculturation. It's not set in stone. The Romans colonised so many lands but deliberately did not allow most areas they colonised to learn their language as a distinction between rulers and the ruled. The British and French on the other hand chose to impose their language on their colonies. You can't use that to decide who met who or when 4 Likes |

WorldRichest:hmmmn.. Do you know how old benin kingdom is? You think the British named it ancient for no reason?... Benin had walls twice the size of the great china walls, Then you cant trade from the south it had to reach lagos port. So most bini's settled there as facilitators of trade..... long before there was any yoruba there... Hence you go to the slums of lagos i mean the riverine sides and its mostly benin people who can trace their origin. Dude you would be amazed discussing with few people from the slums.
