Never4getU:Which your history? What she said seems to be the original tale. You can explain how your ancestors paid isakole to the benin. The beni knew that area b4 your ancestors left Ife or whatever. We ijebus from Eastern part of lagos have also dominated those places (Epe and ibeju )regarded as ijebu in past. 2 Likes |

Kavod:I believe you are Osu. Well,let me burst your bubble. The great Yoruba race founded Benin and Lagos. Oba Eweka 1 of Benin and all subsequent Obas of Benin were Yoruba. The first king of Lagos was a Yoruba man from Benin who met the Aworis who were also Yorubas. History cannot be twisted because you want to cheat the Ogiamien family who fortunately,has evidence with them. Yoruba founded (Oba of ) Benin ....... Ogiamien of Benin.. https://www.google.com/amp/s/guardian.ng/features/ogiso-and-ogiamien-are-aborigine-binis-while-oba-of-benin-is-of-yoruba-descent-high-chief-esotericist-monday-wehere/amp High Chief Esotericist Monday Wehere, JP explained further: “What is today known as Benin Kingdom started as Igodomigodo nine centuries ago. It was founded by Ogiso Igodo and it existed for 300 years before King Orominyan of Ife invaded Benin. During that invasion, Orominyan fought without any success. Before then, Orominyan came to Benin with a strategy. He brought a large number of Yoruba men into Benin long before the proper expedition. These men went into relationships with our daughters who started having children for them. By the time Orominyan came to attack Benin in 11th Century, the number of the Yoruba-born children was high. In spite of this, however, he still failed in his attack. When Orominyan was returning to Ile-Ife without achieving his aim, as one of the strategies they invented, he deliberately impregnated a princess, the daughter of an “Enigie” – duke or king in Benin under the then Ogiso. The princess’ name was Elimide. He left her behind before returning to Ife. It was Princess Elimide that gave birth to the first Oba of Benin, Oba Eweka 1, who, after becoming an adult, was invited back to Ile-Ife, alongside other children they had secretly produced through our daughters without our knowing their game-plan. Up till today, they still live in a place called Yoruba Quarters in Benin City. It was at that Ile-Ife meeting, which had Eweka in attendance that these children were told the reasons they were given birth to in Benin, that it was Oba Orominyan’s desire to use them to overthrow the then Ogiso Erebo and his dynasty, which was then known as Igodomigodo. They were all made to swear to an oath never to betray Eweka, who was to become the Oba of Benin, if they eventually succeeded. Expectedly, this particular war was protracted as many people died on both sides. The carnage was much. It was, however, difficult for the then Ogiso to use extra force, as he felt his grandchildren were being used in the war. He kept saying the children being used by the Oba to prosecute his war were children of Benin daughters, even though they were now supporting their father’s side to fight the Ogiso. It was at this point a truce was called. As there were no victor and no vanquished, Ogiso Erebo was told there was no way this large number of children born by Benin women for Yoruba men could be repatriated, since they had already been integrated into the heart of Igodomigodo. He was told the only way to maintain peace was for him to divide Igodomigodo into two kingdoms. Let the oba take a part, while he would hold on to the other part. |

Eriokanmi:Those were from the Ogiamien Royal family. They were the Ogiso who also came from Ife. History cannot be twisted for long. Oba Eweka 1 of Benin and all subsequent Obas of Benin were Yoruba. The first king of Lagos was a Yoruba man from Benin who met the Aworis who were also Yorubas.The Aworis also met Moba who were al#o from Ife but now called Aworis. Everything still says Yoruba,Yoruba. Yoruba extends to Dahomey..Republic of Benin,Ewe in Ghana,Ga in Ghana etc. History cannot be twisted because you want to cheat the Ogiamien family who fortunately,has evidence with them. Yoruba founded a part of Benin that uses Oba....Ogiamien of Benin.. https://www.google.com/amp/s/guardian.ng/features/ogiso-and-ogiamien-are-aborigine-binis-while-oba-of-benin-is-of-yoruba-descent-high-chief-esotericist-monday-wehere/amp High Chief Esotericist Monday Wehere, JP explained further: “What is today known as Benin Kingdom started as Igodomigodo nine centuries ago.

Iamgrey5:It is well understandable that they might have been a care avoidance of our territory by the benin. Even hour history does not have anything to do with the oyo empire. So if the benin expansionist move futher west and avoided Ijebu territory despite encroaching ondo. Its most likely that they find more open space in the island. Awujale would never take it likely if some kingdom start troubling the ijebu waterway. From your map you can see how big the original ijebu territory was, all through the lagoon to ikorodu down to sagamu. Its well understood why the benin chose Lagos island. To avoid ijebu trouble. |

Iamgrey5: So they flew and awori paid them taxes? obviously there was intermarriage and it was only an extension of their kingdom which they weren't interested in fully settling down there like the aworis bt rather making a province to collect tax. The intermarriage allowed for kingdom mixing with the Yorubas and they left it as that also after the taxes ended. So they have a shared history in lagos only. But the binis founded lagos. atleast those parts 2 Likes |

The place was a trade route for the benin b4 the awori chose to settle down there. Its quite obvious that ijebu border distancing isale eko from Benin territory did not make them settle down there. |
