You are a fool like your mentor called Kanu.

Why don't you ask the Binis to lay claim on Lagos if truly Lagos state is theirs?

Go to the website of Lagos state govt and see the names of all late Obas of Lagos state and see if your forefathers are among fool or Binis

lagos has no yoruba name, its not a yoruba land, if it is, give me the yoruba name for lagos.
Must you resort to insult when you get blank?

Hope Lagos will be part of Biafra when it's finally achieved since it's no man's land.

not really, lagos is a stolen land, yorubas stole lagos, they want to use proximity advantage. Yoruba land is not developed, lagos is not Yoruba land. Ibadan, Abeokuta, ore etc are the yoruba land.

I am happy people now know that lagos has no yoruba name. How can it be a yoruba land when it doesn't have a yoruba name? I thought yorubas have history and culture. Tell us the yorubayoruba name for lagos na.

Let us start fighting for actualization of odua republic. ..if not igbos wil take over our lagos....oooh I see fear in you ..just as usual. ..all my folks are born cowards and clowns

Sophisticated people don't have the Yoruba name for lagos. I will take this Nnamdi kalu more serious henceforth, he's very knowledgeable.

Yorubas are too gentle. Tell that clown to come to Hausa land and get he's brother into trouble.

You know why I like this Biafra niggas they know where they can try shit and yorubas are weaklings they try this shit in edo let me don't say the rest cause they know what will happen

Which shit? That Lagos is a settlement of the Bini kingdom is shit? Na noise u dey make biko. Let me tell you that if Edo people were problematic like Yorubas we would ve giving it to you people fire for fire so stop bragging.
I suggest you close your mouth while we deal with the hypocrites whose power is only in noise making. If you want to show power then start by reclaiming Lagos which yorubas have hijacked from you people in their claims.

Egun people are in Badagry

egun are not yorubas, yorubas don't understand them at all and their language is totally different from yoruba.

I really don't know what the problem of the Igbo is.

How can a tribe be so determined to be a nuisance to all it comes across really puzzles me till today.

The Igbos in the North also thought they were having fun poking fun at the Northerners after the January 1966 coup. We all know how funny their laughter soon turned to sorrow.

As for the question, that a migrant Bini prince ruled over the land populated by Yoruba natives already suggests who owns the land, who encroached, and whose superior population eventually consumed the other.

Eko is Eko. The origins of the name is Benin. Eko which is Yoruba land is only a fraction of Lagos State.

I hope you will blame Nnamdi Kanu when you make your lives miserable in Lagos.

As usual, I will always give my condolences generously.

yorubas are cowards, the world knows that. That's why I love Hausa people. Things for don dey happen.

We want you to strike first then you will see what the lord can do.

@Igbos, let me educate you fools and your mentor Nnamdi Kanu.

How does Oba Ado of Benin Kingdom named Lagos state as Eko? The Aworis who are originally from Ile-ife asked Oba Ado to govern over their territory which Oba Ado agreed with condition.......

Prior to Lagos being adopted, the settlement was called Eko by its Kingdom of Benin Connquerors, which stems from either Oko (Yoruba: "cassava farm" or Eko ("war camp".


Benin Kingdom benefitted from this throne for 4 decades until 1841 when Oba AKINTOYE ascended to the throne of his forefathers. He made attempt to ban slave trade which led to him being dethroned.


Until 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. Those who got their crowns back were the original land owners (Olofin's children). 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 settlements about 1400AD.

With the fleeing people from the hinterlands most of them scattered again, some to Iro, to Otta, Ado, others to Ebute Metta i.e. three landing places - Oyingbo, Iddo Island 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.

After the demise of Agbodere, the name Olofin became the name used to remember him while a title of Oloto was given to his successor. With one of his sons becoming the Oloto his other children parted ways to what is known as visible settlements in present-day Lagos.

Until the coming of the Benins, Lagos's geographic boundary was Lagos Mainland. Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos, then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing posts. No one lived there. 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.

As at that time, no tribe within Yoruba Nation could lay claim to Lagos cos most of them migrated to Eko as a result of wars.

Finally, Eko has developed over the years just like any other Kingdom I'm Yoruba Nation with their own subjects.
