Wickedtruths:Can one say what the oba said was wrong or he didn't go to school? They were just overheating everything, which wasn't even necessary. The below was what need to be taken home, from what the oba had said... Eko (now lagos island) was once a bini's territory. Which was a fact. He also said, just a fraction of lagos( Eko which is now Lagos Island), not the entire lagos of today. Which was another fact. I think that was clear enough. The oba didn't say bini owned lagos as maintained by some olodos who just wanted to achieve some relevance. It would be foolish of anyone to say bini owned or created the today's lagos state. Where would that person put the aworis who occupied the vast part of the mainland, the Ijebus who occupied the ikorodu, down to Epe and the Eguns? He was referring to Lagos Island and he made this clear. Till today, bini signs and relics are still on lagos island and inside the oba of lagos Palace . Some words like Iga, eko, idumagbo, idunganran, etc are still there as streets and compound till date. I really don't know where the man had gone wrong. Once that oba died, they'd take him to bini to Bury. All the regalia of traditional rulers on the lagos island till today, and other parts of today's lagos by extension, including their caps, are similar to those worn by bini chiefs and their oba till today. That eko (now lagos island) was once bini territory doesn't make it a bini land. Yoruba owns it, 100%. All the needless arguments should just stop. They're misinterpreting this man jare. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Eriokanmi: The Oba of Benin is known for being a loose-talker. The problem with such character flaw is that people will tear you to shreds because you have used your mouth to give them the opportunity to do so. Another thing is the retributive angle. Last election, Bini people made it a favourite habit to insult Yoruba traditional and political leaders. They decided to stupidly follow those senseless yamrees who have no future. Some see this as an opportunity to reciprocate the unkind gestures of those misguided Bini people. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Pristine664: The guy is a fool. He's saying Igbos didn't lose territory. What did they want to lose when Niger state alone is more than 2 times the size of the entire Igboland. We don't conquer them, we choose their leaders for them and they do our bidding. Indirect rule is what we use to administer them. They are foolish but they don't know. |

@ariesbull, your argument is too narrow. Those names have little to do with nationhood. Marco Polo, Vasco Da Gama, Amerigo Vespucci, whose first name, America emerged from, Sir Walter Raleigh etc, were all explorers. They explored, but didn't colonise the lands they discovered. California is a Spanish word, so is Los Angeles, the city of angels. Spaniards never make claims they founded or own the US, as some tribes are irresponsibly doing here. People are just too mentally lazy to study. So, in most cases, rely on their received knowledge from beer palour. 2 Likes |

Pristine664: During the early 19th century, the Eastern Igbo subgroups located in Ebonyi State underwent a significant migration towards the Cross River areas, this in turn manifested in boundary disputes between several Eastern Igbo groups with her neighbours such as Ikwo-Nsobo and Osopo of Cross River State, Izzi – Osopo and Yala of Cross River State and Mgbo-Igala of Benue State. A similar migration skirmish towards Abia State in the 17th century established the Aro Confederacy. As the Ezza, Izzi, Ikwo subgroups moved northward, all who are said to descend from siblings whose patriarch hailed from Afikpo, the Ezza ecountered the indigenous Orri people and protected them from extinction in exchange for farming rights. The Ikwo people encountered the Okum and annihilated then assimilated the rest of them, the Okum do not exist as an identifiable group anymore but there is archeological and cultural proof of their existence, as there are non-Igbo dances and masquerades in modern Ikwo culture. The southern Ikwo displaced the indigenous Adadama group far to modern Cross River State. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo%E2%80%93Igala_wars |

Pristine664: Igbo Conflict with Igala edit As the Igala already lived in the area with the Orri they sought friendship with the Ezza and gave them land for farming. However, betrayed by the Ezza whose true intent was expansion and to address their ongoing land scarcity. It led to a conflict between the two groups, resulting in the Igala's defeat and expulsion from their occupied territory which the Ezza then took control of. The Agba community, located in Ebo Ndiagu, Ochuhu Agba, and Orie Agba Elu, faced defeat as the Ezza's territory expanded. Some rallied, but despite putting up a spirited but brief defense, the Agba were compelled to retreat southwards, leaving their abandoned lands to be later settled by Umunwagu and Ikwuate (Idembia). Seeking safety and security, the Agba people sought refuge in Ishielu Division, departing from their original mainland settlements. The Ezza met them again in 1850 and again conquered and displaced the remnants, naming the new territory Ezzagu. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igbo%E2%80%93Igala_wars |

Chai look at the way Yorubas are looking for validation from everywhere, remains small they will post a comment and source where mad validate Lagos belong to Yorubas. Spit Bini King was honest and straight forward with what he said and if any miscreant is unhappy about it then he or she should head to court. Over to you Ronu miscreants. Lagos is founded by the Great Binis. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I couldn't care less who founded Lagos. But giving names to vassal towns you once ruled doesn't necessarily translate to founding such places Bro, if you met people there when you arrived. For example, Lagos is a Portuguese word, Port Harcourt was named by the British. None of them founded those places. ariesbull: 1 Like |
