You are a recalcitrant dullard!
Lagos Island, Eko, was originally Oko (farm). Lagos state is not the same as Lagos Island. Even in Lagos, we Yorubas still talk about going to Lagos(Eko).
The Yoruba pronunciation of Eko is different from the Bini form.













Of course, being the very stubborn goat you are, you will never learn.

I'm not sure you saw the walls of a primary school.

Eko is the word

Eko means war camp in bini

How does it sound like OKO?

And bini conquered Yoruba's.

Gravanno:


Ofcourse, we know ebonyi is foreign name. Foolish goats.

foreign name from where, eko is from bini.

Princewill1:
LAGOS is portuguese while EKO is Bini.

If lagos is a yorubaland;then what is the indigenous yoruba name for lagos? Simple Question!

What's the indigenous name of London in English? What's the name of Biafra in ibo?

No one take Una threats seriously. Didn't you say if Nnamdi dares broadcast to Lagos, the second he does it, the second Una will kill and deport Igbo. The radio is now in Lagos, nothing happened from Una. Abeg stop spitting everywhere and answer the question

Go reclaim your abandoned properties in portharcourt which is 2km from hinterlands of ibo or change portharcourt to Igwe Ocha first or revenge the 3 millions killed during civil war.


Foolish people.

Stop your foolishness and come to PH and see how we have recovered the abandoned property and over-doubled it. Just come and stop dwelling in your ignorance.

at least we know where eko came from, its from bini.

some time you wont blame igbo because is Yoruba that make Nigeria remain this way by supporting Hausa to do as they like, the day Yoruba will stop supporting Hausa will be the day Nigeria will change for good , the current arrangement of Nigeria is favouring Hausa and no Hausa man is ready to change it as long as Yoruba is supporting them there is nothing that can be done, if Yoruba withdraw their blind support it will force Hausa to come back to their senses knowing that if Nigeria divide they will lose a lot , with what Nigeria is making now poverty is hammering Hausa like thunder how much more will it be if they are cut away from oil?

foreign name from where, eko is from bini.

Then tell me the meaning of Jos in Berom or Angas. Why are ibos so foolish?

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

Oba is a Leadership title for Bini people.

Which portharcourt? this one that I lived for more than 10 years? you must be deluded. Where ikwerre people usually close down ikoku at will? Where ikwerre boys go collecting tax on every ibo man in mile3 market, even though the market is dominated by ibos? Where an ibo man cannot even contest for councillor position? Where no ibo man is not allowed to be buried in, even if the properties belongs to him?

eko is bini, did you know that? The answer is no

StOla:


I have already told you Eko is Eko. The name has its origins from the Benin. A heritage that has not been denied and that is widely acknowledged.

The Yoruba know the land is theirs, the Bini know that their overlordship has since been expired by the consuming native population.

What my concern is now is what the Igbo hope to gain by stoking hatred?

As an Igbo, please enlighten me on the benefits of being hated where other tribes live in peace?

Also what is the demerit of living peacefully?

Yoruba and Hausa have always hated igbos since 1935.

I've read through this entire thread and not one yolobs could answer that simple question. So that have been shooting on top of their lungs over a Bini land they stole. Everybody come and see

Na so craze dey start o

This Kunu guy don dey feel important already o

And the last time I checked. The Biafra tribalism is between Yeebhoes and the Hausa/Fulani. Which one concern Yoruba with your media violence ?

I call him god of Biafra land

FYI yeebhoes, it really doesn't concern us if your Biafra is transmitting on the moon, there are millions of radio stations out there transmitting peaceful.
Una just dey pollute the media with yeye noise........ We get better thing to do mehn

If una wan transmit or broadcast. HE NO CONCERN ANYONE but una(yeebhoes). Why the noise ? (2marks)

which question?

Founder(s) Of Lagos Edo Civilization, Esan War Machine and the Founding Of Lagos (Expanded And Revised) By (Anthony Okosun)
The Portuguese visited West Africa at a time the Edos had an empire that was very largely in control of a very vast portion of West Africa. The empire of the Edos spread from today’s Nigeria to Ghana. The Oba of Benin, back then, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Orhogbua was represented in Portugal by an Ambassador and the King of Portugal, back then King Emmanuel was represented in Edo Empire’s administrative capital Benin city by an Ambassador sent from Portugal. The King of Portugal and the Oba of Benin agreed that international trading ports should be built in some locations along the West African coast where the Oba had influence and control. The international trading ports became the matrix cornerstones for some of today's major cities along the west coast of Africa. Lagos is one of the international trading ports built then as a result of the joint Portuguese - Edo venture. The Edos called the settlement where the port was built Eko, meaning camp in Esan Edo. The Portuguese called the settlement Lagos, which means lakes in Portuguese. Back then, there was already a city in Portugal also known as Lagos. To have a better understanding of what the Edos did in Lagos, we should consider a modern example, very near home. There were folks in Abuja and the other settlements that constitute Nigeria's federal capital territory. However, the genesis of the Abuja that we have today is directly traceable to the decision of the federal government of Nigeria under General Murtala Muhammed to relocate Nigeria's federal capital from Lagos to the present location. Thus the founder of Abuja as Nigeria's federal capital territory is the Federal Government of Nigeria. Today, the Federal Government of Nigeria runs Abuja. The Federal Government of Nigeria has broken up Abuja into districts and zones and has named the zones and districts. The Federal Government of Nigeria is running Abuja now. The above is exactly, the story of the Edo people in Lagos. The Edos and the Portuguese settled on Lagos Island as a choice location to build an international trading port and thereafter, the Edos "possessed" the place. An ancient port was built, and for hundreds of years the Edos developed, controlled and managed Lagos. Research has actually shown that the Edos extended their control, influence, dominion and suzerainty over Eko from Lagos Island to all that area now known, called and referred to as Lagos State. Thus, the gist of this article is not about who discovered Lagos, but who founded Lagos. The era of the founding of Lagos is over now. This article is not about the ownership of Lagos, based on the Edos past occupation of Lagos. The British came after the Edos, they too have since left the scene. This article is about the aspects of the Edo founding of Lagos that have been forgotten or have been undetected by Historians radar. The experiment of the Edos and the Portuguese in Lagos (Eko) is reminiscent of the experiments that created New York, Los Angeles, London and Chicago among many other global cities. The above named locations are all cities that were built on the platform of trading ports and exploded around such ports. These cities and many other global cities all grew exponentially as a result of the development or building of ports in such locations. Chicago did not grow into a major city until an inland water-way port was built in Chicago. Lagos which was initially a camp (Eko) established by the Edos for the development of a trading port, has now grown into a major cosmopolitan settlement. Unfortunately, the story of the founding of Lagos has suffered severe mutilation, by many who had hitherto attempted to tell the story of the founding of Lagos with a jaundiced perspective. The oral version of the founding of Lagos has been so tampered with, that the names of places in Lagos today are meaningless in any language whatsoever. These names are only meaningful if reversed back to the language of the original founders of Lagos. The language of the original founders of Lagos is the Esan Edo language. The history of early Lagos is embedded in the names of places in Lagos. A good understanding of that language, which is the Esan dialect of the Edo language will throw open the doors to the history of early lagos. It is manifestly obvious that the early history of Lagos Island can be very easily deciphered by an accurate understanding of the names that have remained in Lagos from the time of the founding of Lagos. Eko is not a general Edo word. Eko and Idumu as in Idumota and Idumagbo and all the Idis and Idus are all specifically Esan Edo names. They are not Bini Edo nor Afemai Edo. The Benin alternative for Idumu is Idunmwun. In Lagos we have Idumu as in Idumu-Ota and Idumu-Agbo. Thus Lagos was originally founded by the Esan Edos. However, we should recognize that while the Esan soldiers were founding Eko and many other parts of what is today known as Lagos State, under the auspices of the Edo army; the Bini army was contemporaneously founding Etin Osa, Agidingbi, Oshodi et al. (All Bini Edo names). IDU-GARRAN (Quarters of Igarra [soldiers] confirms the presence of Etsako Edos in the Eko project. Without a doubt, all the members of the Edo family i.e. Esans, Etsakos (Osakon) [meaning Dental Surgeons] were in Lagos at the invitation of Emperor Orhogbua.

it's simply EKO ....... Mofo. We call it "Ilu eko" and we that are originated from there are called "omo eko" and that's why the APC motto for Eko is "Eko onii baje" means Lagos won't spoil.

I'm happy Radio Biafra is now in Lagos.

See person wey live for PH. Stop being a mumu. Ikwere boys are doing what? Yet our brothers in Ikoku and the rest of the markets are making money there and buying up Ikwere land, riding good cars, building houses in their villages and giving their children good education. 6f what use is the money they are collecting from Igbos if they cannot use it to do any meaninful thing?

Mention 20 Ikwere sons and daughters who have made achievements that has national or international impact and i will give you 50 Igbos for every twenty you mention.

And let me tell you that Igbo culture is against burying our people outside Igbo land like you Yorubas that throw your dead bodies inside ground anywhere and anytime. We bury our people in our villages. Thats our tradition. Thats why cemetary business cannot thrive in Igbo land as its doing in Yoruba land.

ooh!
which kinda long story is this nah?

u should have told him that all iboes are billionaires.
plain and simple.

it is actually nice to know that Yorubas have a fan base. the igbos do all in their power to get noticed by the Yorubas. it seems thats all they can think of. its like when you are trying so hard to be noticed by someone and you put on your best attire, and you start prancing endlessly in front of that person to no avail. see as all of them rushed in glee to this thread, miming what their lord and master has cooked up in his sick brain. I Hope you know when sh*t hits the fan, he will be relaxing in London with his family.

They claim that Lagos belongs to them because lots of them are sleeping under the Lagos bridge, they claim an Igbo woman is the king of Akure, blah blah blah... Last I checked the Bini people were not the ones claiming Lagos. Ok fine, Eko is a Bini word. Now that you know, what are you gonna do about it? lay claim to the throne of the Oba of Lagos? or incite the Bini people to share in your hate inheritance?

So go ahead and tell us, what is the Igbo name for Lagos since it now belongs to you. aanu yin den se mi. when push comes to shove you will start crying genocide abi? yiyo ekun, kii se tojo. if the tiger treads lightly it's not because it is afraid of it's prey. I hope you guys won't have cause to swallow your words very soon. why can't you just live peacefully wherever you may have migrated to. soon because plenty of your clans men are serving jail time in the U.K. you will begin to lay claim to the crown of England. No problem. kontinuu!

meanwhile can somebody kindly tell us the meaning of Biafra in Igbo language?
