What of eguns are they Yorubas too?
,
Lagos is not yoruba land ,get that

These captured slaves of Yoruba that voluntarily disbarred their their Ogiso for killing a pregnant woman and drove out their neighbors out of sight now wish they can claim Lagos every week.

Try to put your house in order first. You still bear Youruba names in your royal circle and children of Ogiso cannot wait to kick you back to IFE.

They have a court order in place.

They only reason people still answer is for the sake of the children not to be confused or mis-educated.

Funny ass person. Don't you know that when you share border with another country there is a chance they gonna migrated into your country. Go to Benin country "eguns" they add yoruba to part of there language and gonna be thought in school but does that means yoruba own Benin country. ODE trynna grow up I'm smarter. I'm oduduwa blood my grandpa thought me a lot about yoruba history's and I make dope research has well. So grow up...... funny Benin and Edo people in nigeria like changing history and lying take it or leave it oba of Benin is under oba ofor ife and oyo... coz ur first oba of Benin is yoruba son of our oduduwa so trynna go sleep

As a neutral observer, all i can say is that the bini guys on this thread have brought verifiable facts to substantiate their claim. I don't know how anybody can dispute written documented fact.

A neutral observer in a non intellectual country like Nigeria that is filled with ethnic bigots?
You must be kidding. A neutral observer would rather say nothing, because your remark would only fuel the conflict

you seem focused on his identity rather than on his speech. So if a non Yoruba tells you good morning, you will assume it is 5 pm ? You are right about the lack of brain cells in Nigeria and also about bigotry. I hope you realize that you are far from immune.
Also, not everybody on nairaland lives in Nigeria or is Nigerian.

Edo ancestors roamed forests unclad when Ife established first dynasty on that land and slowly gave them civilization.

On Oranmiyan's arrival they were still very primitive and backward.

Even now, after centuries of cultural mingling...still backward!

The only pride is their foreigner King, in essence they are proud of Yoruba ruling over them.

Ask them to share anything native Edo has ever exported to influence other cultures. Nothing!

oranmiyan, oduduwa, ogiso ... Those are fables, made up stories. Your claims are laughable. The Oba of Benin is 100% Edo. Yoruba never ruled over any non Yoruba, most Yoruba were even led by non Yoruba: brazilian slaves, Dahomey kingdom, Ilorin ...

Before the arrival of the British, ife had almost no architecture while Benin city, the capital of Benin kingdom, had beautiful houses and city walls.

Many of the people now calling themselves Yoruba are recorded to have been citizens of Benin kingdom in the precolonial era.

What you are doing is claiming Edo heritage and then turning back to say Edo are proud of your belongings.

It is weird to see a people A claiming an other people B's king, claiming B's art, claiming B's history, claiming B's everything and then saying B has nothing, their pride is what we offered them ...

You have a son of fabled ancestors ruling over you. Omo n' Oba is the scion of Eweka, son of Oranmiyan.

We dont call him Omo n'Oba for nothing.

Obviously, you don't know much about Yoruba history. Any way, let me leave you to your opinion that's without fact. Go to do more studying instead of being bias.

Benin flown to lagos abi bloody fool?..stop deceiving yourself.. ijebu never claim ownership of Lagos even though they contributed almost 50% of Lagos land mass Eko belongs to the Aworis from ile- Ife ...presence of Benin in Lagos is through the Portuguese explorer and trader that brought a Benin prince to Lagos aboard their merchant ship to Lagos and is only a small portion known as Eko Lagos island

I don't want to go into details here but the records backed by facts should be taken serious and not those who fail to present their arguments with only claims with no proof of facts and you could see the bitterness in the lines because of their tribal sentiments. I will find time later to contribute to this topic.

We didn't read all this when Lagos was not a megacity, you can't even claim the esan and AKOKO edo closer to you, you're claiming Lagos, which part did you own, no street in Lagos with bini name, even the eyo festival is by the awori.

Bini was the biggest state when the Portuguese came, the reason they used it to represent the towns of lower naija on their maps, by fact the awori has been in Lagos long time ago, and before you can lay claim to Lagos, there must have been a war between awori and the binis, but there's not, eko means oko (farm) in awori dialect and when the prince of Benin arrived in eko, he didnt have a choice than to use the name because it means settlement in edo language

The political system in Lagos is of yoruba, because Dahomey paid tributes to the alaafin doesn't mean yoruba owns the place

If you still persist you're the owner, go to alausa and meet sanwo olu, dont forget to branch the oba palace too in island, show them your maps and links and stop all this ewar and tribalistic post

You are dreaming, when the Oba of Benin went to visit Esanland and Akoko Edo, their kings recognized him as their father, it is on video. The same thing happened in Warri, the same thing happened with Lagos. Also you have the precolonial maps of the region which show Lagos to be part of Benin empire.
So stop dreaming.

You are definitely on Hard drug Mr Ovie Edo and is not good for you ...Benin Empire ?? Laughing in Portuguese..Do you know what empire means. how many kingdom do you have under your empire... Even Igala kingdom that was way superior to Benin militarily has never been refers to as an Empire you people had no means of fast transportation then, Oba Benin was revere because of Oduduwa Lineage... Lagos has never been part of Benin kingdom and it will never be, if you like hit your head on Lagos bridge or jump into Lagos lagoon Mr man...Lagos is not Lagos Island ..Eko is a small portion of Lagos island..Benin influence is through the Portuguese explorer.. Aworis had been trading with lagosian before Benin Royal stepped foot on Eko soil Lagos Island..Portuguese get to know about Benin kingdom from the Itshekiri....

I usually don't have time to respond to hate filled trolls who just vomit their venom with no facts, but today I am stuck in a train station.

Even Igala kingdom that was way superior to Benin militarily

Says who ? I mean, you personally witnessed both armies in combat or are you quoting a person who witnessed both armies ? Nope, you are just speaking out of hatred.
If Igala was superior to Benin then please locate the bight of Igala, locate Igala republic and also show me a precolonial text which credits the Igala as much as Benin is credited in precolonial texts and maps.
