ArcSEMPECJ: Biafra currency was and is called "Biafra pounds" which means they had the support of Britain which also means they had U:S support. What I mean is that the Yorubas were too brutal for the Igbos and their involvement accelerated the end of the war. |

codemaniacs:It flourished and extended, Benin empire is the greatest empire from this side of West Africa. The British came and saw Benin empire in charge of Lagos collecting taxes. It flourished that it's bronze artefacts sell for up to 10million pounds a piece ..it flourished big time, till the British came and did amalgamation... Benin was in charge of Southern Nigeria at a point in history, down to Dahomey, Onitsha, up to the borders of Ghana. It is still flourishing my friend... South South is the richest part of Nigeria, south south, of which 4 of the states in it was extracted from old Bendel (Benin empire), is the region that has fed Nigeria since independence. Rich, very rich region, both in natural resources, cash and food crops. Lagos is what it is today thanks to Benin for opening up it's waterways for foreign trade. 3 Likes 1 Share

TheBillyonaire: You don't own anything even the phone you're using was bought for you. Someone who owns something will not call for war especially in a nation where the person is not indigenous too but living in. You just proved and shown that you're a pauper and you give yourself the monicker "billionaire" to live in a false reality.. Like I said you have a right to deceive yourself and live in false fantasy world. |

You can't found a place that has indigenous people. The Portuguese couldn't claim to have found Lagos, British couldn't claim it either let alone Benin down there that arrived yesterday and owe everything they are to Yoruba. The Lagos leaders hosting them are the ones bringing insults to us. Oba of Benin is not an ojulowo oba, he's just the same as Wasiu Ayinde(KWAM1) both are OMO OBA= CROWN PRINCE. Yoruba are people who allow every goat to put mouth in their affairs and that's why we hear insults from the most ridiculous places. Most part of Eko is Ijebuland and Eko is a Yoruba word meaning 'Island'. Benin was NEVER an empire, it was a very small kingdom limited to Benin town and that's why it does not have the markings of past empires anywhere in the world with language, religion and cultures. Everything Benin has is burowed from Yoruba including the 'oba' and all that goes with it. Btw, the throne in Benin is NOT oba but prince, every oba of Benin is not actually oba but OMO OBA. Short man syndrome of oba of Benin and Yoruba approach to things make any rat come out of the bush and talk nonsense. The danger of inter-marriage is also destroying Yoruba heritage, every other non Yoruba spouse wants to cut part of Yoruba heritage for his or her children so he or she can claim to be as somebody too. British couldn't get you Lagos, so will you will never get it no matter your obsession with it. Christopher Columbus didn't found America, Mungo Park didn't found river Niger, Benin NEVER founded Lagos, you have nothing to do with Lagos, you came to see a beautiful Yoruba Lagos and you will remain strangers there like everyone that isn't Yoruba. 1 Like |

You are talking about mythology and I am talking about verifiable history. Right from the beginning, from the earliest of recorded history, Benin has always dominated Eko politically and they would have continued to do so till this date were it not for the British taking over and forcing Oba Akintoye to sign a treaty which made Lagos a British Colony. Up till that point in Lagos history, all the Obas of Lagos from the first Oba of Lagos Ologun Kutere were buried in Benin. It was only after the British freed Lagos from their Benin masters that Lagos Obas began to be buried in Lagos itself. seunmsg: 1 Like |

Even Oba of Benin Throne itself Na Yoruba get am The Bible says Wisdom is profitable to direct. Ok Let us look at the praise names of oba of benin One of it is Abieyuwa N'Ovbi Odua N'uhe The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife). (Odua of Ife is the same as oduduwa of Ife) Another of oba of benin's praise names is Ovbi' Adimila The son of Adimila oduduwa was also known as Olofin Adimula Which was his Title Notice there is no mention at all of any Ekhalerderhan of Igodomigodo or Izoduwa that got lost They did not mention the lEkhalerderhan and Izoduwa too is not happening anywhere in Oba of Benin's Praise names but they called Oduduwa the great Odua of Ife So with their own mouths they themselves have already given the evidence that fully demolished and destroyed their case which had no legs to stand on in the first place and have confirmed with your own Mouth that the oba of benin was indeed oduduwa's Son There is nothing left to drag because it is settled |

[quote author=Zonefree post=127208370]I stand with Oba of Benin. You are free to sit also with him. The Britons settled in Benin and expelled the king. That means that Britain is the founder of Edo and Benin. |

Patriotsleague: You're the ignorant one trying to brain wash Yorubas into subjugation through mis-education.. The oba of Benin is not the one collecting the tax you pay to Lagos it is the Yorubas you are paying. So keep deceiving and keep paying tax to Lagos... you will live long and your service to the Yorubas will not be in vain. |

codemaniacs: That is what people say. Some people do not actually think I own much because I am like a monk. I dream and acquire and after aquiring, I move to the next goal. My Lekki assets is nothing compared to what I have at my own State. So, do I give a shit, I do not. I am just telling you the truth. If there is war over Lagos, Lagos will be destroyed, but people like us will still have our amazing States. So, just buy a piece of Lagos and stay quiet, Lagos is gone to those who buy. It is not a Yoruba state, if you can not control the economy. I want your Governor to ensure the roads are good, so I can come and enjoy. Clean that place up, cos I do not like what is going on at Lekki now. I need good roads there. |

Correction: the annexation of Lagos island by Binis predated the mass dumping of freed slaves in Lagos island. I just reconfirmed this. I can see your need to argue tho. Please note that AWORIS were already in Lagos & Bini annexation of Lagos was a conquest not a newfoundland. There was a dispute amongst the Yorubas in Lagos & a faction requested the help of Oranmiyan dynasty in Benin to help. This group won & this is how Benin colonized Lagos island for a few years. This annexation was later FULLY relinquished. Until recently when the people of Benin started dissociating themselves from Yorubas, we fully counted them as part of our heritage. Please note that until recently, ALL OBA OF BENIN heads MUST buried in ILE IFE when they die. I like the way Yorubas are not struggling to beg Benin people to remain with us. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/kingdom-benin/ You said ‘ Yorubas occupied everywhere including the island that is why the portuguese never stayed long because the Yoruba warriors who were in those places were fighting them and that is why the SW does not speak portuguese.’ WHEN DID SAY ISALE EKO WAS NEVER OCCUPIED BY YORUBAS? https://guardian.ng/life/the-story-of-the-afro-cuban-heritage-in-lagos/amp . codemaniacs: |

codemaniacs:Everyone pays taxes including you. Everyone is paying tax to the state, not Yoruba. This Lagos is an entity with mutual arrangements and understanding with a lot of interests...it's cosmopolitan. You are just looking at it from you and your bigots myopic view, but the truth is, Lagos is bigger than you all. Lagos belongs to all Nigerians. All am trying to do here, is to stop the maligning if the Oba of Benin, what he said was fact, and he said it in the most intelligent way. Oba of Benin said, Benin empire founded what is today the nucleus of Lagos, and it's a fact. Oba never talks anyhow, hardly talks, he was saying this to signify the relationship between Benin and Lagos, and all he said is facts. The first Oba of Eko, Lagos island is Benin. Everyone knows the seafront, that stretches Lagos Island, Marina, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, are the most valuable parts of Lagos. Am interested in history, and I don't like seeing it distorted, so we pass on facts to the next generation. 1 Like
