prezeus: The title OBA as used in Benin is a Yoruba word. Akoko Edo people speak (as second language)and bear Yoruba names just like their neighbours in Ogori/Magongo in Kogi. There was no Benin empire rather Benin Kingdom and no Yoruba people were captured by any Benin 3 Likes |

SaintLucia: Guy, stop spreading falsehood. Benin people are Not yoruba. They are a separate and distinct ethnicity. The only yoruba link they have starts and ends with their monarchy. Only the Oba of Benin and the Benin monarchy have Yoruba bloodline via Oranmiyan. Outside of the monarchy, Benin people are a distinct ethnic group from Yorubas in every ramification, so stop trying to rewrite their history or form attache by force. Respect their distinctiveness. 3 Likes |

MENELIIK: Oba is a pure Benin name. Oba is shining. As in the shining light of Benin. More correctly "Omo n'Oba n'Edo, uku akpolokpplo". Oba Can be used to describe red or ododo. What is the real meaning of the title "Oba" in Yoruba? Alafin, OOni, Olu, Owa, etc all have a meaning that we know. Oba is even a shortened form. An extra title is "Ogie" or Lord. But because dukes and senior chiefs can also use that title, ogie is less used for Oba. Other titles in Southern Nigeria that came from Benin world "ogie" are Ogiame as in the original title of Olu of Warri, Onojie (from ogie/enogie) used in Esanland, Ovie or Orodje used in Urhobo and Isoko land. I am sure if Isoko, Esan, Itsekhiri had become majority tribes over time, some would now the arguing that Benin borrowed Ogie word from them. Benin do not just do things with historical details behind it. Having said that, Benin, Igbo, Yoruba, Fon, Ewe and others are from same language group: Volta-Niger/East Kwa/West-Benue branch of Niger-Congo group. Some remnants of the archaic ur-language must have remained in some words. |

Rubicon67:oga I said ,if lagos was never a capital of nigeria it will be like other states in nigeria ,if ondo state was the capital of nigeria for many years like lagos you will will still say the same thing,imagine river state the capital of Nigeria for many like lagos with it more land mass oil and gas ,sea port air port all in river state all the oil companies and manufacturing companies all in river state, if lagos is making 200 billion monthly river state will be making like one trillion ,because government invested all most everything in lagos then that's why people are moving to lagos to make living nothing more,no one likes to stay in a traffic while people going to London will get to london first 1 Like |

Ykc2: Shut up, Potopoto Osu IPOB pig! Lagos was a cosmopolitan city that has been welcoming foreigners even as far back as the the 18th century. European traders as well as Yorubas who returned from Brazil, Cuba and Sierra Leone already made Lagos the cynosure of all eyes. The first schools, buildings, mosques, educationists were already in Lagos long before your Osu ancestors brought their "stateless" asses over here. 1 Like |
