op your information is incorrect. Olumegbon is not a founding father of Ajah.

Thats why there was constant fight between his boys and Illaje dwellers because the Illajes were already settled in Ajah years before Olumegbon came to Lagos.

The fight died down immediately after his demise, no other Olumegbon has been crowned since he died because the Illaje's wont take it.

Interesting. cool

There were settlers in Lagos (the aworis )before the Benin came waging war on them.

Saying they founded Lagos has long been debunked by scholars.


There is different between using military might to dethroned original settlers of a land and founding.
Don't mind them. It's like saying the British own Nigeria because they subdued us and colonised Nigeria.

Some of them are not even privilage to attend school but just illiterate traders grin even the benin people they are spoke persons for wont be confident enough to come in public and lay that nonsensical claim, we dont even share border so i sometimes marvelled at their obsession with anything lagos , but their pure greed for other peoples heritage which will never happen in this life grin

Is Ogunmude same as ogunmodede?

Actually, 13 towns came together to form what we now know as Sagamu in the 18th century because of war. Epe, Makun, Ofin etc were part of the towns that came together to form Sagamu. They were independent towns before then.

We are only interested in indigenous Lagosians to rule themselves and not those who run away from their villages in Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States. if you want to become Governor, go to your states and do so and leave Lagos matter for Lagos indigenes. Is this difficult for Yorubas to understand?
how is that your fathers business grin? Those people from ogun, oyo and the rest are they not yorubas with their brothers in lagos? Or you think Sw is like your primitive and backward region wherw Anambala man is seen has greater than ebonyi man grin with your herd and clannish mentality?

Ok i get. That means Epe is lagos is not the only place called Epe. There is an Epe town in sagamu also, so Oga from Epe Sagamu founded ikorodu
Re: The 62 Lagos Township And Their Founders by creativehubb: 11:27am On Nov 28, 2023
Mumu, this is 18th century, we are talking of 700 years ago, when yorubas were not in Lagos, Benin empire created Lagos, the main parts of it, Island.

Everyone knows aboriginal southwestern people own the land, because it's where they dominate, but this piece of history about Benin creating Lagos island, and Island areas of Lagos is true.

More traders, both Europeans, Portuguese and local indigenes trooped into island, when Benin empire brought it's security there, it became safe and organised, to live and trade.

Oba of Benin did not say Benin own Lagos, of course the indigenous southwest people own it, but he is stating facts, when he spoke about creating Lagos, and turning it into a bouyant, safe state, to trade and live...the first Oba and all is from Benin empire.

You these small fries called Binis from Benin should watch your smelly mouths ! If you allow your senseless follies to drag you idiots to our attention,trust me,we will shredd you to pieces mercilessly ! It's funny how you think a tribe like the Yoruba people,who are renowned for their high level of intelligence,will ever lose track of their history ! We are always on top of our games.

Oh,you guys assumed that Yoruba people don't know their history because we've chosen to ignore you,one consequential Binis,all this while,right ? Trust me,if you really know who you're as a Bini man or woman,trust me, you'll hate your silly self ! Some of you are highly delusional,you claimed you founded Lagos,we presented verifiable facts to counter your claims, you claimed Aworis were Binis,the Aworis said their progenitor was a Yoruba man from Ile Ife;you kept on embarrassing your ogiso ancestors all over the internet ! Wetin dey even wori una ?! You think you can ever extend whatever influence you may have in Edo beyond the boundary of your tiny land in Edo state ?!
That we often ignore your excesses and gibberish you spew from time to time is because of the respect we Yoruba have for the Benin royal stool and that's because it belongs to us,one of our forefathers established the Eweka ruling dynasty which rules the city till today !

Take it or leave it, everything about Benin, from religion,art, culture,heritage,etc to the tittle, appellations and praise names of the Oba,is deeply rooted in Yoruba. Those are our signatures in Benin which you pained and insecure Binis can NEVER change ! Trust me,that man who sits,as your Oba in his palace, is a Yoruba man; that's your painful reality !

Now,counter the Op's claims with your own facts or remain dumber than you're already forever !







Writing long gibberish will change the truth of the matter at hand, Bini is founder of Lagos and I can see you are crying profusely with heavy tears. do you need bundles of handkerchief?
