Noneroone:
Who is the op decieving

names of most popular places in lagos have edo origin. All those names that start idu... clearly shows history of Benin ownership and even oshodi

akeensbussy:
Ikeja is own na lie......

Ikeja was coined out of A town called Akeja in Ota, Ogun State. Ikeja was formally called Akeja but because strangers who later settle around that side could not pronounce the name "Akeja" now started pronouncing Ikeja.

Till today, when you come to Ota, you will see a place there called Akeja and they are the heirs to the throne in IKeja.

If u doubt this, go and do your findings very well.

am currently living at Akeja, Ota. Majority of the kings and Bales in Lagos are from Ota including Elegusi and that is their lineage home.

felixomor:

So because the Oba of Bini Kingdom which was a very powerful empire in the old days ceased Lagos now means it belongs to Bini or Edo people. The Oba of Bini ceased Lagos not the Bini people and there were people there( the Aworis) before it was ceased. When the British ruled they returned power back to the Awori king so how do u guys own Lagos. Or is it because we decided to maintain the name "Eko" thats wat is making u think you own Lagos.

felixomor:


Abeg tell us the meaning of "Lagos* in yoruba.
Or the name came with Oduduwa from "saudi arabia" abi?
I am waiting....
If u no fit, abeg first flog yourself o.....

bakynes:

My friend Lagos is a Portuguese word. And Edo or Bini people do not own Lagos. The Awori, ijebu and Egba people all Yoruba clans owns lagos.Lagos was only a colony under the rule of Oba of Bini just like Alexandria in Egypt was ruled by Mark Anthony of Rome doesn't mean Egypt is a Roman land.

felixomor:


It was only a colony.
Please tell us when the date of the colonization took place?
At least the date alexander conquered egypt was recorded.

Besides your song is beginning to change tune fron the one u were singing at first.

felixomor:


Lagos is a Portuguese word.
So who were the people who brought portugeese to nigeria?
I am sure your history will die here now....

bakynes:

Mumu so to you Bini people travelled to Portugal to invite Portuguese people down to Lagos?

bakynes:

What song is changing, don't you know how powerful empires establish colonies every where they conquer. The romans conquered the Anglo-saxons and named their land Britannia( present day Britain) but Britannia was never occupied by Romans it was just a colony under the rule of a military Governor appointed by the Emperor of Rome. Likewise is Lagos an all powerful Bini empire established it's authority over the settlement called Lagos named it Eko" but the people of that area were Aworis a village of fishermen.


What is so difficult for ur brain to understand there.

bakynes:


It doesn't even say anything about Lagos.
