So a small village like Benin is now superior to who? Please allow that local champion to enjoy his village. Don't drag him into Yoruba domain.

Like the lies your fathers told you to cover their loses.
You were beaten blue and black and that encounter marked the beginning of your Biafra dream.
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 grin
Generations of losers, that is what you are
You beat us black and blue? Yet gallant Biafran warriors were in edo for weeks, even had a garrison in Auchi while prevailing on the Oba to let the Beni fight for their liberation? The people you beat black and blue will have nobody to hold down edo state, it was only when the bini won't fight that we retreated to Onitsha, and you know what happened to your 3rd marine commandos in Onitsha. Like i said, read your history and forget tales by moonlight

Why do you people lie through your teeth without shame like this? grin
Your expedition towards the west marked your death knelt
At Ore alone, ibo lost over 50 men in one single day and more than 750,000 in your misadventure.
We will always beat you anytime you carry your madness pass Igbo land. That was the only time you ventured out and that was the only time you suffered the heaviest lost.

I think in all seriousness this type of lazy beer palour statement can cause serous damage to yorubas unity which must not be allowed.ipob will never mean well no matter how yorubas want to hide their head in the sand literarily in the name of compatriotism and peace. Igbos must now start leavong yoruba land which lagos is number one. They force. Nigerian capital to abuja from lagos in hope to reduce the reputation only for the latter to bounce back strongly hence this new evil plot. Yorubas must not sleep on their hoarse as ijafara leewu.

What is the meaning of Idu Iganran?
which language?

Who was the original owner of Eyo Masquerade? Bini? or Ijebu Remo?

Where are the Aworis (people mainly in Lagos & some part Ogun State) from?
Bini or Ife?

.

Place of pepper - Iduganran. This is the area Aromire used for his pepper farm before the palace was built

Eyo cult originated from Ijebu remo, the maternal grandmother of Ologun kutere was from Ibefon and it was through this connection that Eyo came to Isale-eko

Awori are originally from Ife but allowed bini descendants to settle among them

Well, you have to ask the Yoruba people, because these words all have meanings in their language. I am told that Eti-osa means "by the sea " or "by the river."

macof:
Eti osa - edge of the lagoon

Eko - means camp in bini, also means farm in Awori

Oshodi - a Yoruba corruption of a Tapa name. The founder of Oshodi was a Tapa man from modern Niger state, he was a slave but grew through the ranks

Sorry, I didn't realise you had even responded to his question earlier... undecided

Oga, your name cannot be Etiosa. undecided It is likely to be Etinosa. And Etinosa means "Strength of God”, in Bini language. It is totally different from Eti-osa, which is a Yoruba word. sad

I am not disputing, and did I insult you oya sorry. What baaffles me is the superiority of the Yoruba people over bini that made them displaced the binis from their acclaimed land in ondo, osun, oyo, ekiti, Lagos, ogun, kwara, part of kogi and still even take part of edo, that is akoko edo just after ifon in ondo state. Yoruba too much. Sending the owner of those land to only one edo. This is laughable grin

IF LAGOS IS YORUBA LAND

THEN WHAT IS THE INDIGENOUS YORUBA NAME FOR LAGOS ?

THE NAME "LAGOS" IS PORTUGUESE

THE NAME "EKO" IS BINI


YORUBAS CANNOT BE THE ORIGINAL SETTLERS OF LAGOS WITHOUT HAVING AN INDIGENOUS YORUBA NAME THEY CALL THE LAND

What you call Lagos is a conglomerate of small Yoruba towns with dozens of Yoruba kings like the Onikoyi of Ikoyi, Elegushi of Ikateland, Olu of Ikeja, Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Alara of Ilara, Akran of Badagry Kingdom, Oloto of Otto, Olu Agege of Agege, Olu of Mushin, Oba of Somolu, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo, Olubeshe of Ibeshe etc. Do you even understand that all the areas of Lagos state have their own kings? The title "Oba of Lagos" is the title of a king over a particular area in Lagos Island called Èkó and not a king over the whole of Lagos state, not even a king over up to half Lagos Island.

Re: Bini Are Original Owners Of Lagos, Not Yoruba – Layi Ajayi-Bembe by Birminghamvirgo(m): 5:27pm On Nov 19, 2017
I think this Baba Ajayi is high on Cold Origin as his king!
firstly, the term Lagos is a Portuguese word which means Lake or Lagoon in English and this name was coined around 15th century when the Portuguese visited Lagos being the first European to explore Lagos!
Secondly, the term Eko undoubtedly is a Bini term which means war camp! Buh talking about the indigenes of Lagos, the Binis were just minority settlers on the island of Lagos.
Lagos has 20 local government and these L.G were divided into 3 senatorial districts, Lagos west senetorial districts consist of 10 L.G of which 90 percentage of them are the Aworis, Lagos East senatorial districts consists of 5 L.G in which over 75% of them are the Ijebus meanwhile, in Lagos central senatorial districts where we have 5 L.G like Eti-Osa, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Surulere and of course Apapa L.G predominantly own by the Aworis having larger population of settlers, interspersed by the Ijebus, the Binis(particularly on the Isale-Eko) part of Lagos Island and the Saros(the slave returnee/refugees) on the Lagos island as well...
Out of the 20 L.G in Lagos, the Aworis who tend to be the early settlers occupied almost 70% Population while the Ijebus are Second with approximately 20% and the OGUs(Eguns) from Badagry division have 5% while others like the Binis, the SAROs, Nupe/Tapa etc...

Meanwhile on the issue of tribalism, the Aworis are authentic Yorubas by culture and all other evidence. In fact, they migrated from Ile-Ife(the source of the Yoruba people). Even the Binis themselves originated from Ile-Ife which makes the the descendant of Yoruba and that can be proved by most of their culture e.g their names kingship title and the likes... More by virtue of History(Archaeologically and Oral tradition) the Binis are one of the descendants of ODUDUWA... but if by now they feels they aren't Yoruba, so be it.

Now, from the Analysis made, it is clear that Lagos is typically a Yoruba Land. The Binis are just in a community on Lagos Island(Isale Eko) and that is Enu-Owa! and apart from that Isale Eko where they neighbor with the Aworis, there no other part of the Island occupied by these so called Binis, the rest are Yorubas...

On the Issue of dialect terms that is where the so called Baba Ajayi missed it. "Iganran" is a typical name for pepper in Yoruba and IGA means Palace/Yard in Yoruba as well and IGA IDUGANRAN means pepper farm/yard....

To crown it all, Lagos has 5 Division acronymed as I.B.I.L.E.... I.e Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos(island) and Epe... these are what makes Lagos state... While, Ikeja people are predominantly Aworis, Badagry people are Predominantly OGUs(Eguns), Ikorodu people are 95% Ijebus, Lagos division constitute of the(Aworis in majority, second by the Ijebus, the Binis,the slave returnees and of course the Tapa/Nupe people), Epe division people are 90% Ijebu people....

so, wetin BABA AJAYI BEMBE come dey talk for mouth just because he's from the Bini dynasty... We lagosians we know ourselves FOR REAL....

Who did the British have to kill to take away their power of controlling the ocean trade? Definitely not the Binis but the Ijebu. Where is the Ocean in Lagos? Lekki area. You and the author are completely crazy. Lol. The Lagos they are talking about is Lagos Island. Even then, Bini descendants make up a minority. Not a majority. Tapa Oshodi has more descendants than Bini settlers and he came to Lagos a lot later than them.
