Please guys, there is no need to insult Igbos over this thread.

This thread has nothing to do with Igbos.

This thread is just to prove that no tribe can claim Lagos....and that even the Oba of Lagos who claims to own Lagos is from Benin Lineage. Even "Eko" is a Benin word.

This is not just my view, but the view of Lagos State Government.

Could you please tell us the meaning of enugu,anambra,aba,imo in Igbo language?

Oba of lagos, mr akiolu, is a confirmed benin empire subject

the Aworis are not warriors but peace loving people. That was why they gave in easily to the Oba of Benin. But the Colonial masters had put an end to all that.
The Aworis and Eguns have been in Lagos from time immemorial

All i know is without Ibos, Lagos will not develop. Look at the important fields of interest they are well known for which developed lagos ;

Prostitution, selling of fake video game discs, fake cds and dvds, fake drugs, peddling of hard drugs, piracy, selling of gala & plantain chips on the highway, selling of okrika clothing items, selling fake vehicle spare parts, importing substandard china goods, importing and exporting aba made clones etc.

This activities are very vital to the economical success of Lagos.

We cannot do without them

They are very vital to us . Pls oba Akiolu, don't kill them for us. We also love their girls with their flat bald heads, moustache, yam legs, and hairy limbs

We will know which tribe owns Lagos when kasala bursts and yi.bos begin to flee in droves back to SE. They did it during Biafra and June 12. The Yorubas remained in their land and fought Abacha and paid with their blood while the opportunistic igbos fled to the East.

Indeed, Igbo should count their blessing , cheeiii
See the above listed indistreries,factories and companies.

Timely discovery

Proudly an Edo man, Op shey you know also that the Obi of Onisha is also from Bini lineage. Does that make Onisha a no man's land?

okpamson15:
Lagos na no man land. 2019 i will contest for Governor there, so make una leave igbo alone.

I laugh at ur stupidity in your mother's tongue. You're still a learner, you'd know how far soon. Lol

I'm confirming to you that most of those Yeebos are ingrates. Born rebels. But I really think they've bitten more that they can chew. They'd meet their Waterloo soon. Very soon.

baby124:
Please respect yourself. Lagos has indegenes, just like any other place in Nigeria. Dont disrespect Lagosians. Thanks.

There is nothing like Oba of Benin. Before the Benin people came, the indigenes were there. When they were kicked out, the indigenes were still there.

Enough of your shameless display of Stu8pidity. There is no where in the world that is a no man's land. Stop the delusion and accept reality so that if future you will not be taken by surprise.

I want. to refer you to encyclopedia Britannica to get the true story, Google the first settlers of Lagos

WisdomFlakes:
The flat heads will never learn. Na so Dem do sotay the indigenes of Port Harcourt seized their properties after the civil war calling it "abandoned property".Upon all their noise till today they are yet to reclaim a single property back from the ikwerres. It's like they are a cursed race, trouble follows them about. Be prepared for the PH treatment folks . We will treat your fo.ckups

The igbos are direct descendants of the biblical Cain, a cursed race and vagabonds for ever.

Aworis Youth Mandate under the able leadership of Adekunle bola has asked that all yoruba of non- aworis extraction leeching on their development and resources should start preparing to vacant the state.

He explained that yorubas come to lagos to feast on their resources, contributing absolutely nothing in return.

"An Ekiti from his jungle village will come to Lagos to drag jobs like security and vigilante with locals, so it time to tell them all who are the real owners of Lagos. "

Once the permission is sanction there will be a exodus, so it is better they start packing before the time reaches. As the say " a stitch in time saves nine."

This is 21st century, NO TIME FOR PARASITISM !

even the Northerners are contributing more than these yorubas, Awori people shall not stand and watch her resources pillaged and ravaged by these ingrates and rascals.

He went on to explain that most crimes in the state are perpetuated by neighboring states especially Ogun people and ijebus.

That's a good suggestion, Lagos has a similar history to Britannia. Present day Britain derived the name from the word "Britannia" which was given to that region by the Romans who conquered the Anglo-saxons and name that region Britannia does that make the present day Britain a No Man's land. Similar to Prince Ado who named the present day Lagos "Eko"

italo:
History of Lagos State


Prior to the Portuguese name of Lagos being adopted, Lagos was originally called Eko, which stems from either Oko (Yoruba: "cassava farm" or Eko ("war camp", by its Bini conquerors. History has it that the Oba of Bini sent various trade expeditions to Ghana where spices were traded and one of his traders complained about the way she was being treated by the Awori's. The Oba of Bini then sent a trade expedition by sea. Ironically, the leader of the expedition arrived in the evening at a time when the people who were predominantly fishermen were either wading into the water or getting into their boats to gather their catch. He declined to engage them further and returned to what is now called Benin City where he reported to the Oba of Bini that they were attacked. This prompted the Oba of Bini to constitute a war expedition led by Ado, a Bini Prince to go to Lagos and demand an explanation. This was over 650 years ago. However, on getting there, they were well received. The people were so enamored with Ado they asked him to stay and lead them. He agreed on the condition that they surrendered their sovereignty to the Oba of Bini to which they agreed. The Oba of Bini was told this and he gave his permission for the expedition to remain. The Oba of Bini later sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist Ado in the running of Eko. Till today, the Oba of Lagos is the head of all the Kings in Lagos State and his status is different from other Oba's most of whom were later given back their crowns and staff of office only within the last 40 years and have various classifications. Suffice it to state that those who got their crowns back were the original land owners. These were Olofin's children. Moreover, modern day Lagosians have so intermingled that no single tribe or people can claim it even though the predominant language is Yoruba. The present day Lagos state has a higher percent of this sub-group who allegedly migrated to the area from Isheri along the Ogun river.
 

History has it that the Awori were actually from Ife the cradle of Yorubaland. The Awori people are a peaceful people initially not taken to warfare. Due to war, those from the hinterlands, like the Ekiti ran towards Isheri which at that time had more than one Olofin (Alafin)who were heads of probably respective settlements about 1400AD. With the fleeing people from the hinterlands most of them scattered again to different places, some to Iro, to Otta, Ado, others to Ebute Metta i.e three landing places - Oyingbo, Iddo and Lagos Island (Eko). The Olofin that brought those who went to Ebute-Metta was Ogunfunminire later known as Agbodere. With the full commencement of the war about 2000 moved to the nearest island of Iddo, others to Otto Awori or Otto Ijanikin towards modern-day Badagry. Those from Ekiti Aramoko came to Ebute-Metta, Iddo and then Ijora. The Olofin was said to have 32 children. His own known children are Olumegbon, Aromire, Oloto, Oluwa, Oniru, Onisiwo, Onitoolo, and Elegushi. Ojora, Onikoyi and Mogiso were not his biological children. After the demise of Agbodere, the name Olofin became the name used to remember him while a title of Oloto was given to his seccessor. With one of his sons becoming the Oloto his other children parted ways to what is known as visible settlements in the present day Lagos. Aromire whose name means defeated the river or became the river's friend is likely to be the first to cross being said to have swam across the river. It is possible that his real name is not Aromire but due to the feat he became known as such.

Until the coming of the Bini's, Lagos's geographic boundary was what is known now as Lagos Mainland. Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing posts. No one lived there though. The name Eko was given to it by its first King Oba Ado during its early history, it also saw periods of rule by the Kingdom of Benin.[1] Eko was the land area now known as Lagos Island where the king's palace was built. The Palace is called Iga Idunganran which, translated means Palace built on the pepper farm. Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin as well as some of the indigenous people who sought safety settled down in the southern part of Eko called "Isale Eko", Isale literarily meaning bottom, but must have been used to indicate downtown (as in Downtown Lagos).

What u clowns dont understand is EKO is lagos island, that was where the british establish trading post . Other areas like Epe , ikorodu, ojo, mushin, agege etc where never penetrated by british. Those places are 100% ancestral homes of ppl

Could you please tell us the meaning of enugu,anambra,aba,imo in Igbo language?

Tiiiiikn u

Enugu means on hilltop.

Anambra means large land.

aba means enter. for example anam aba na ulo. Which means i am entering the house.

Imo means everyone. (we say something like this- ma nta. ma imo which is like saying every tom and dick or everyone).

Thats for my side of igbo. to some other igbo villages they may have more meanings for the words too
