ariesbull:Let me come into your convo here. Point of correction: You have to be very careful about falsifying or pushing out wrong information to others on a public forum such as NL. The current Oba Rilwan Akiolu denied ever saying that Lagos Island was founded by the Binis after the fake story went viral on the internet. The Oba of Lagos even stated that anybody who says Lagos is not Yoruba land “must be an IDIOT.” No doubt, he is partly of Yoruba and Bini descent and Isale Eko and indeed the entire Lagos Island was already in existence and settled by the children of Olofin Ogunfunminire who used it as a pepper farm [Eko or Ereko or fully Erekosi in Yoruba]. => https://www.nairaland.com/4141211/anybody-says-lagos-not-yoruba EKO is the shortened form of the Ijebu name EREKO which means farm [Eko Island or Lagos Island was used as a pepper FARM and settlement by Aromire who was one of the children of Olofin of Awori-Yoruba roots whose entourage came to occupy several areas in todays Lagos State from Ile Ife over 700 years ago]. Nobody on Lagos Island knows Eko as a Bini word. So many ignorant people have been getting their incorrect knowledge from Wikipedia. The Ijebus [who are indigenous to Lagos State [Epe LGA, Ikorodu LGA, Ibeju-Lekki LGA, Ajah] and Ogun State] have been an integral part of trading activities for centuries on Eko Island [aka Lagos Island], with the Aworis who are the indigenes and owners of Lagos Island. The Oba lineage on Lagos Island was only given a small part of Lagos Island by Aromire to build the palace or Iga where the current palace is located now. The famous aristocratic IDEJOS [or WHITE CAP CHIEFS] are the REAL owners of Lagos Island lands and beyond into places like Iruland [The original Yoruba name of Victoria Island] because they are the descendants of Olofin who partitioned or shared all the vast lands of Lagos they occupied among all his many children before he passed on. So it is clearly someone who doesn't know the REAL history of the Awori-Yorubas and feeds on false or VANDALIZED INFORMATION on Wikipedia, and other non-credible blogs set up by the younger ones who were born in the late 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, etc, that would wrongly say otherwise. Second, the Idu prefix is of Bini origin but the suffix " magbo" is of Awori-Yoruba origin. Therefore Idumagbo and Idumota are a fusion of Bini and Yoruba origin. There are many example of words worldwide that are fusions of 2 or more languages. "Idu" just smply means WAY or ROAD. It is just the same way you have some compounds in Asaba bearing the prefix OGBE showing the Bini origins of those compounds [Asaba has Igala roots, and indeed Igalas and Nri migrants also populated Asaba and had their own quarters]. Oba is a Yoruba word and even before the rise of the 3rd Dynasty or the Oduduwa Dynasty in Ife, other ruling dynasties existed there. Obatala was alive before the start of a new dynasty by Oduduwa [Odu du iwa] "Odu + Iwa" [It means "the knowledge of mysteries and it's application to human behavior"]. Odu [knowledge of mysteries] + Iwa [Behavior]. Oshodi is a word that means – "the royal chamberlain" – He is a person who is tasked with the wellbeing of the Oba's [king's] wives. In any event, the Bini royal family incorporated several Yoruba loan words from Ife [which Binis call Uhe] into the royal court language... therefore, many of the words, Bini royal titles and deities have Ife/Yoruba origins. The current Oba of the Bini people himself acknowledged in his coronation day speech in 2016 right in the full presence of the current Ooni of Ife that Oranmiyan his ancestor came from Ife and became the FIRST Oba of Benin, but he didn't stay long, but had a son [Eweka] who went on to become the second Oba from the current Oranmiyan Dynasty. Even the Ogiamhen family have clearly stated severally that the current Oba of Benin has Yoruba origins via the Oranmiyan Dynasty. So, there is NO argument that Yorubas and Bini-Edos share historical links and there were large Yoruba trading communities in Edolands and Bini-Edo trading communities in Yorubaland as well centuries back! BELOW IS AN ADDRESS BY HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, CROWN PRINCE, (AMBASSADOR) EHENEDEN EREDIAUWA, EDAIKEN N’ USELU ON THE OCCASION OF HIS CORONATION AS THE OBA OF BENIN AT URHOKPOTA, BENIN CITY, ON THE 20TH OCTOBER, 2016. 12. Historians all agree that Oduduwa sent his son Oronmiyan at the request of elders of Benin to return with them as ruler of their realm. Oronmiyan’s stay in Benin may have been short, but before he left, a child was born to him, who was later crowned Oba (King) and is known today as Eweka I. Oronmiyan’s time in Benin, however short lived, he was an Oba; and so, he was the first Oba after the Ogiso dynasty came to an end. He established Obaship in Benin. By implication, the listing of past Obas should therefore begin from Oronmiyan as it is listed in Egharevba’s book – Short History of Benin, making my revered father 39th Oba that reigned in Benin – if the listing is counted from and, should be counted from Oronmiyan.

XAUBulls: You people keep avoiding the main issue which is what was the identity of the Benin empire and the former identity of the capital city?. Is it Edo language or the language of the majority of the empire which was the Olukumi dialect of Yoruba. Why are you debating like primary school students? |

IkpuMmadu: Did Mungo Park found River Niger? Did Flora Shaw found Nigeria? Did British found Portharcourt? Did Yoruba found Igbo land? (Meaning "bush people" by the Yorubas that named Igbo land) Naming a place does not mean you founded it. Even America was not named by the Americans. |

victory36:let us assume that is true . So what?What At some point Europeans arrived and colonised most of Africa Does that mean they founded Africa? At some time there were places in Togo that paid tribute to Oyo does that mean Oyo founded Lome? You say they paid tax in 19th century. What about the 16th century?? Was the place empty?
