designVATExcel:if our past leaders who focused more on politics rather than true and quality governance used the wrong criteria in states creation,should every future govt continue like that all in the name of ''equity'' the same way they used federal character and quota system to propagate mediocrity instead meritocracy and quality? What we all true clamour for is true federalism and quality leadership,not more states. Even if u get more states in the south east,it will create an opportunity for more people like rochas,theodore orji and co to be leaders! |

Lagos belongs to the Benin Kingdom. That's a fact the yorubas can never erase. Thank you Oba Akinolu for saying the truth 5 Likes |

oz4real83: Please reread my first post I didn't advocate for more states, I adviced reducing the numbers of states in other zones, i.e. merging states. I've never been in support of creating nonviable states. Many states in the North East, West, South West are economically not viable. They can be merged. |

TheKingIsHere:The history is very simple but you guys have decided to close your ears to the truth. I tell the truth as it is even if am Yoruba. Aworis predominantly Fisher men are Decendants of Olofin who migrated from Ile-ife to that space called Eko, the Bini Empire only got into the history when they were invited by the locals to defend them against Dahomey invasion and constant raid. Oba of Benin sent soldiers to protect them and the indigenes(Awori a Yoruba group) asked them to stay and rule over them. Prior to then, there was no established kingship so the Benin emissaries started the kingship and named it Eko(War Camp). Benin people did not migrate to occupy Lagos just a few emissaries like Obanikoro. Many generations down the line the Oba didn't bare a Son, so an indigene Awori had to marry his daughter and that was how the kingship returned to Aworis. Oba Kosoko,Dosunmu,Oyekan,Akiolu are all Aworis not Benin. You also have to understand that Lagos state is different from Lagos Colony the British used as the seat of administration. That Lagos Colony is what the Benin emissaries named Eko. After amalgamation, part of the Western region was merged with the Lagos Colony to form Lagos State. So Lagos is a Yoruba land because the Oba of Lagos himself is an Awori a Yoruba man. Oba of Lagos is not the Oba of the entire Lagos he is the Oba of Lagos Island but if you are familiar with Lagos life they called Lagos Island "Lagos"cos that's where it all started from. 5 Likes 1 Share |

bakynes: No one is disputing the part of the aworis.. But say the truth as it is, the people of Benin were predominantly in Lagos. Even this professor stated it clearly that: Delivering a lecture titled, ‘Let Lagos State Be,’ Okunnu argued that the common language spoken in Lagos had always been Yoruba, despite the large percentage of its people whose ancestral were Bini or Tapa So, the aworis were there no doubt but majority of the populace were Benin. The oba of Lagos should give more lecture on this. 2 Likes |
