meforyou1: Don't worry your head, ibos are nothing but strangers in every part of yorubaland including lagos that you want to die for It shows igboland is the most useless piece of land on earth that no one want to associate with. Keep salivating over lagos..an 100% yorubaland Look at just the map and cure all your doubt. Ogun state completely circled lagos that should tell you a lot 5 Likes |

laudate: Then you are not giving the Oba good advice. If someone goes to the market and uses your name to buy credit without your permission. Then your silence is seen as accepting the debt. |

Blackfyre: You seem knowledgeable, however are you aware that oyo empire controlled badagry? The oyo mesi administered that area. Also, the British took lagos and I do not remember the Benin monarch fighting back, it was Yorubas who resisted the British in the battle for lagos. What about the awori? They migrated from ife bro. Also oyo controlled badagry, what do you say to that? 3 Likes |

FisifunKododada:Where did he use the Oba of Benin's name to buy stuff on credit? When did the Omo n'Oba send Ajayi-Bembe to buy anything without making payment? And who even offered to accept the debt? You have used a wrong analogy, sir. Oga, the person who should be responding to Ajayi-Bembe's claims is Akiolu. It is his territory that is in contention.

With much due respect sir, The Eleko, I believed the feud with the late Ooni Sijuwade contributed to this various perversion of history. The Ajayi Benbe family that disowned Musliu Obanikoro when he needed them most to become the governor of Lagos now has their chief talking ignorantly publicly. Chief said Idu Iganran is a Bini name. Is Eyo masquerade also from Bini? I know Igunnoko popularly called Igunnu is from Tapa (Oshodi Tapa at Epetedo). The affinity & relationship of Tapa through their ancestral linkage with Yoruba (Oyo) made it easy for them to settle with the Yoruba. 3 Likes |

This ajayi bembe just worsened the whole matter by publicly displaying his ignorance. Publicly he said Idu Iganran (location of Oba of Lagos palace) is not a Yoruba name. Well, except Ijebu Remo is not in Yoruba land. That place was pepper farm & settlement for Ijebu remo pepper sellers & farmers. Iganran is an Ijebu remo name of a type of pepper . Idu is a farm or settlement. Idu Iganran is a pepper farm or settlement. This is an ancient Ijebu Remo name. This can be found in some libraries in Lagos where old books of history on Lagos is kept. Time would not permit me to explain Idumota & Idumagbo. The EYO masquerade was brought to Lagos from Ijebu Remo. Despite the fact that the Remo town has forgotten about the masquerade, this is what is being celebrated in Lagos Island. Is Eyo masquerade from Bini or Iperu? On the issue of Awori, Pa Okunnu & Jayi Benbe would have told us more stories about Isheri Olofin, Iddo and about Olu Iwa (Oluwa) the owner of Apapa to Ojo land. How did the name Awori came to being? I was aware of non recognition of the Oba of Lagos by the late Ooni of Ife (Ooni Sijuwade) as a first class Yoruba oba. Ooni Sijuwade was right. A first class Oba must have his Crown link to Ife. This created problem for the Oba of Lagos who found his root back to Benin. The Oba of Lagos (Eleko) historically was only for part of Lagos Island. This is now history. Ajah & Ibeju Lekki have their rulers despite Olumegbon harassments in Ajah. The Yorubas have been in Laos before the Binis were invited by the Lagos Island ruler 'Eleko' .Eko is is an area after the present Carter bridge at Otto covering the island, this excludes 'IRU' the present VI. The story of Lagos independent of West came after colonization. 3 Likes |

Blackfyre: Yes by lineage but Ologun kutere's claim to the throne was through his mother's lineage, since she was the daughter of Ado and Akinsemoyin's children were young. This applies to all the "royal families", because as you know in Yorubaland(yes isale-eko is yoruba not bini land) obaship is not owned by one single family unlike in Bini If Isale eko is Bini they would be practicing bini tradition not Yoruba. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Moorish: I wasn't arguing about the control or extent of Yoruba influence. I wanted to hinge my argument on the fact that royal families are the authority and in most places owners of the land in their domain. Using the fact that the ancestry of the royal family will then bring to light who the real owners of Lagos are. But someone corrected me and informed me better on this thread that it is the Idejo families that owns land in and around the Island, not the Oba or the families. As a matter of fact, I read the only land the Oba has is the palace- Iga Iduganran. Apparently, the Idejo families are Aworis... Someone also told me the dynasty of King Ado had ended and the current dynasty is that of Ologun Kutere an Ijesha man... Btw, which family owns the land towards Ojo Alaba and environs? Anybody knows? |

laudate: If the Oba did not send them the Oba should say so. If a thief is caught and he claims to be from your household - would you not disown the thief if you you believe he is not from your household? The Oba silence is tacit support and until he steps up and do the needful he will continue to gba bode as far as I am concerned! |

FisifunKododada:Did Ajayi-Bembe ever say that the Omo n'Oba sent him to make any claims on his behalf? Oga, you can preach this sermon till tomorrow, but the Oba of Benin will not respond. Like I said before, the person who should be responding to Ajayi-Bembe's claims is Akiolu. It is his territory that is in contention. |

macof: But looking at it from now backward, all royal families or at least most come from one source. It only branches into more families when after the first his sons decide to establish each family for themselves. The only difference with Benin is that, the first son becomes king irrespective of either brothers or uncles. By and large, especially for the Idejo family bit I have come to read, Lagos is owned by Yoruba. Like someone said on here, they are the real power broker of Lagos... 1 Like |

Read up on the history and not the lies handed down to you by your losers. Your fathers lost everything and the looks on their faces after the war was that of total despair and a desire to end their lives but for Yorubas that welcomed them and allowed them to start afresh with the £20 doled out to them by awolowo to start life again Generations of losers, that is what you are 3 Likes |

SmartchoiceNGR: You lie!! The great Bini kingdom can never be subservient to a fake crown and culture where a yahoo boy was planted as king (puppet, stooge) and controlled by a common politician. Your low life king fell in love, married and was disgraced by a mere prostitute, your ooni and his fellow chiefs and body guards got drunk and and his phones stolen, we can keep going on and on because they are just too numerous to mention.

Which is he will continue to gba bode from now till he stands up and act like a man. As for the head chief of Idumota - he is limited ONLY to Idumota and he knows it. |
