"In the 15th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called “Eko” under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time. The Yoruba still use the name Eko to refer to Lagos"

I noticed that you have this on your post. Now if you can think critically, you would realize that you have answered your question.

This simply indicates that Aworis were in Lagos before the Bini, Aworis are the aborigins of Lagos. The Bini people were warrior migrants who came to settle in Eko (just a part of Lagos).

Does that not tell you that the Bini Kingdom people were not the founders of Lagos?

The same statement that the Oba of Lagos denied. Read through this thread, you will see where the Oba of Lagos denied it.

TheBillyonaire:


I try to be civil, but you are forming king kong. Let us Begin!

You are ignorant of what is really happening. There is nothing left in Lagos State to be sold. Igbos have bought everywhere and pushed the Yorubas out and fenced those Estates. Epe axis and Elekan axis was what was left but it is gone now, except the place Tinubu fenced for his family by the Refinery.

I own properties at Lekki and I tell you that nothing is left. Even the Aworis that were living at Folu community along the Eleko side, they sold their fathers' grave and moved back to the boundary with Ondo.

You can not even enter my estate if you are not invited, cos you need a code to unlock your Access. So you can claim ownership from Benin people as you want, but deep inside you, you know you are defeated and have nothing left to right.

You are expecting a war so you can recover? You have no idea that Igbos have taken over your Elite bloodlines, most of the Yoruba billionaires are married to Igbo women and the Igbo women are in control of their homes unlike Yoruba women.

So the war will be in your homes and the properties will go to Igbos in the bloodlines. This next war, no one will run, we will kill you all, cos its about guns, we all can afford guns and we all have the might to fight.

Shall we begin?

Benin founded Ile'ife through it's prince about 1400years ago, founded Onitsha and Lagos lastly about 400 years ago, secured it and enabled trade flourish in Lagos Marina waterways.

In your mind, right? Tell us about the history.

itsene:

Trying to be silly, it's not the Ona's opinion.
Name 3 of his predecessors if you know them and why would you say any traditional ruler should not make a speech you don't like?

How is it silly to point out the obvious?

How many of his predecessors ever claimed that the Bini kingdom are the founders Lagos? Leave that question about 3 predecessors of the current Oba of Benin for the school or academic activities - google can tell you all of them, plus the ones you don't know about your history.

A traditional ruler needs to be careful and mindful of his utterances especially when it concerns people that are not his subjects. Respect is earned and reciprocal indeed. You don't go visiting people and despise or disrespect them. That is quite low.

Nwanna2588:
In the discourse on the Bini versus Yoruba dynamics in Lagos, it becomes apparent that the numerical superiority of the Yorubas tends to exert dominance over the smaller Bini community. Yet, amid this demographic reality, a nuanced acknowledgment emerges – an iota of truth lies in the cultural contributions of the Binis, as reflected in linguistic nuances and place names.

Upon closer inspection, historical vestiges reveal Lagos towns bearing Bini names, challenging the assumption that everything is inherently Yoruba. The very title of "Oba" itself, often deemed quintessentially Yoruba, traces its origins to the Bini culture. This revelation underscores a complexity that defies simplistic categorizations.

However, geographical realities persist, with Lagos firmly situated in the South-West, historically recognized as Yoruba territory. The notion of ceding land based on historical connections clashes with the fundamental principle of territorial sovereignty. It echoes parallels of an Igbo claim to Equatorial Guinea, emphasizing the impracticality of asserting ownership without tangible boundaries.

Drawing a parallel to the Black American experience in claiming ownership of America, the conclusion surfaces – the owner of the land remains the owner, akin to the immutable nature of citizenship. This prompts contemplation on the concept of naturalization, advocating a shift from the right of blood to the right of the soil in the Nigerian context.

In the intricate tapestry of Lagos's identity, acknowledging historical contributions while respecting territorial boundaries becomes pivotal. The discourse urges a reevaluation of citizenship paradigms, inviting a nuanced perspective that accommodates both historical legacies and contemporary realities.

The fact that "Oba" in Edo or BIni Kingdom means King does not change the fact that "Oba" means King in Yoruba too. It doesn't make any of the Bini or Yoruba tribe superior to the other or ruler over the other. Despite the similarities in culture of both people, there are distinct differences in their ways of life and culture.

Can you also give us examples of the Lagos towns bearing Bini names?

The fact that a group of Bini warriors sometime ago in history migrated to Eko in Lagos and settled there does not mean they founded the Island. The island existed before they came and there were inhabitants in Lagos before them.

Lagos was founded and owned by the Yorubas. The analogy, opinion or argument of the Oba of Benin is very unnecessary, misleading and disrespectful, especially if it was meant despise the Yoruba.

spy24:


In this matter I believe the oba of Benin more..

Why ? Because the Benin kingdom and its obas have the longest recorded history in Nigeria and they also had one of the most formal setting before the advent of the white men in Nigeria.. their history is well documented and not just mere say..

I believe the oba is speaking from a factual point of view than all this emotional hearsay people online..

Really, so why would the Oba of Benin be interested in sharing this information that his predecessors never shared or opined?

If that opinion of the Obama of Benin is true, why did none of his predecessors push that analogy?

Whatever history informed him must have been documented by his predecessors.

aikyg:
Ashipa, the founder of the Lagos royal dynasty was appointed by the Oba of Benin to govern Lagos. Ashipa is believed to be as son or grandson of the Oba of Benin. All Lagos Obas trace their lineage to Ashipa.

What is the aim of the Oba of Benin with that statement that the Binis own Lagos?

Does he want control over the kings in Lagos? Does he want homage from the Lagos King?

Does he want supremacy over Lagos king or does he want Lagos to be his subject as well?

Some kings will not respect themselves in modern world? What is his problem?

Does migration of the Binis to Lagos for war mongering and fishing mean that the Binis founded Lagos?

waveman2:
At least price of Nigerian produced goods will come down as a result of reduction in price of diesel.For transportation you can choose to use a diesel/cng power car.

Most cars in Nigeria are designed to use PMS. The question to Dangote Refinery is:

What is the timeline for production of PMS at their facility?

Kenochi:
When we tell people that Dangote Refinery is starting next month,they think we are lying to them
Those of us who patrol this corridor are excited about the prospects which this project will unleash on the Nigeria and West Africa.
Pinnacle Oil (owners of the Largest Tank Farm in Lekki Free Trade Zone) is already bigger than some Tank Farms in Apapa,you might want to argue but I encourage you to visit and see for yourself.Don't be a doubter,visit the corridor and you will be amazed
Jezco Oil (Joeyzaza) is already building a massive warehouse/company in that corridor,not to mention the tens of company already in the Lekki Free Trade zone
Aliko Dangote will probably break into the top 20 richest people in the world with this project and listing it on the stock exchange is giving people opportunity to partake of this project
I encourage you reading this to consider getting a piece of property around Ibeju Lekki to Ode Omi if you can afford it because that location will be probably the most expensive property market in Africa in the next few years
I also hope the parasites in NNPCL are ready to dance naked because their free money is about to come to an end

Your analysis are encouraging and factual but the article indicated that the immediate plan is for production of diesel, DPK and ATK by December 2023.

However, you didn't consider a major issue. The major petroleum products used in Nigeria is Petrol (PMS), that is the major petroleum product we import in Nigeria. That product isn't among the products in plan for immediate supply.

That means we will still be importing PMS and supplementing it with the small quantity expected of Port Harcourt Refinery Coy.

They have not even adviced the public on the timeline for the production of PMS by Dangote Refinery.

Okay sir.

Mindlog:


Very inappropriate .

What of students who are not sexually active, how are they to answer such question?

Thank you for sharing this candid opinion

Mindlog:


The course revolved around sexuality and sexual identity, infections, sexual dysfunctions, paraphilic disorders (pedophilia (sexual focus on children), exhibitionism (exposure of genitals to strangers), voyeurism (observing private activities of unaware victims), and frotteurism (touching or rubbing against a nonconsenting person). Fetishism (use of inanimate objects), sexual masochism (being humiliated or forced to suffer), sexual sadism (inflicting humiliation or suffering), and transvestic disorder (sexually arousing cross-dressing) and since we were counselling psychology students, we were taught how to offer therapy sessions focused on all those.

Do you feel questions about your preferred sexual style, and reasons for that sexual style as your preference, is extreme and inappropriate?

bonnyhope:


Why are you taking it personal

For the sake of the course let's us know your preferred sexual style

You must be the lecturer.

Mindlog:


That number one (b) question is not appropriate as I also did Human sexuality in my third year in Uni and God knows my lecturer wouldn't dare that because I know my course mates would not have answered that question and would take it up with the Dean, after the exams.

Please inform me brother, since you did Human Sexuality in your 3rd year at the University.

Can you still remember your course outline? Did you see anyone topic that treats sexual styles and preferences?

pius49:
There's nothing unusual about the questions owing to the fact that they are all part of the course or course outline so they must have been taught to students and essential reading materials provided to them for the course.

Show us a course outline that has several sex styles described and explained on it.

Show us a school, tertiary institution or academic environment, other than in Nigeria, that can put this Question 1b, as an exam question, moreover it is a compulsory question.

FreeStuffsNG:
I don't think the questions were set in a professional manner and NUC should look into this. It's way too personal and prodding yet there's no confidentiality clause that those answers will not be used for any other purpose or that answers don't represent the sexual biases of the students.

It's way too unprofessional and I am not surprised that it's all this small small lowly rated schools with mostly inexperienced faculty and student members.

NUC must look into this and mandate that department to reword those questions and satisfy legal clauses. Imagine the answer a student gives today being used against him or her in the future. This is very mediocre in my opinion. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Very unprofessional and unacceptable in academics. Question 1b can be proven to be sexual harassment, the lecturer, head of dept, examination committee or board and school can be liable.

rectitude:
Going by the course title 'Social Works'. This is not surprising because it deals with human behaviors and ways to help improve them. The exam questions can further give insight on how interesting the course lectures would have been. The personality of the lecturer and what he/she hope to get out of his students from the course also comes to mind..

The question 1b is very inappropriate for examination in a class or course. It is sexual harassment.

The lecturer, head of dept and examination committee or board need to be queried.

Mikespecialone:
It’s a university, for adults not kids , they can asked such questions...

No, I don't agree. What is the reason a lecturer wants to know my most preferred sexual style; he or she also wants me to justify the style.

I beg your pardon.

That question 1b on the exam sheet is inappropriate and unprofessional.

tolue42:


Like I've said in a response, I've been to the plant, is not far from my house. They do assemble ford trucks(rangers). But those high-end vehicles, I can't say 100%

They assemble those vehicles in Nigeria. I don't think there is any vehicle manufacturer in Nigeria.

Olachase:
ur thinking is very shallow can't you see their demand is for personal interest, you want the country close down cus some thugs attacks you

Your Tinubu made it, the so-called personal issue, a national issue when they attacked, brutalized and battered the President of the NLC.

He was not only in IMO as a person but as a President of the NLC on the assignment of the union.

There must be consequences for the government's action and we must prevent a repeat of such assault on our labor leaders.

I am not a lover or associate of Ajaero but I will defend NLC or TUC in this situation.

iammo:




When your enemies know you are weak, then you are gone...

Ajero and NLC would show Ribadu and Nigerians shege

One police Officer from SouthEast, Imo State, probably Officer Chinedu slapped Ajero,

him don turn am to National issues

Ahmed0336:
EFCC is suppose to be filled with people with integrity and professionalism should be their topmost priority.
But with what I am reading, I'm speechless.

There is nothing unprofessional in what EFCC has done. They must have confirmed the receipt of the 1billion naira into the account and engaged the staff of the company and ascertained that they could not support the payment with any contract document and contract execution.

The court process will take time and consume resources of the commission so they found a legal way to have the accused surrender the dirty money that he got fraudulently.

Have you seen any parent do this when there baby have hiccup, do you think it works?

Somehow, it works. I can't explain the myth or theory supporting it.

CoronaVirusPro:
Hunger will reset those employees.

30 days max! They will resume work by themselves.

Despite the tremendous efforts of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) in piloting the nation to greater heights, it is saddening that, the local institutions within the territory of Nigeria are sabotaging his efforts.

Hunger is part of life.

Kobojunkie:
As I said, I thank God for sparing me from this sort of blindness that is religion!

Regrettably, I completely understand. Your life is ultimately your decision.

Great conversation anyway.

Thanks for sharing your views.

Kobojunkie:
See what I mean... Christianity, religion as a whole, is a special kind of blindness that defies logic!

2. All I can advice you to do is that you open your eyes for the first time in your deluded life to what is right in front of you.

If the curse that you mean is : "in pain you shall bring forth children". You need to understand that no child birth occurred before this statement by God. God had to let Eve and Adam leave Eden to cater for themselves. He ordered them to multiply and gave the man a Di..ck and the woman pu...ssy; he created them with reproductive system so he planned that man will knack woman belle with his di..ck and sperm and she will conceive, go into labor and be delivered of babies.

It is not a curse, it is the way for man and woman to fulfill the directive of God to go and multiply. We're you expecting man to be commanding Children to come forth by magic to multiply or how?

Christianity isn't blindness, it is a way of life. You don't have to be a Christian but you better be a Christian. My eyes are wide open, I love being a Christian.

Try to become a Christian or Moslem. It will help you.

Thank you.

Mayeldah:


The concept of submission in this business/political examples given is what we want you to pick out here, no one is asking that you pay your woman for her contributions to the home
Your partner is not a prostitute even when you reward her for the care and comforts she brings to the relationship.

Did you read what I responded to based on my position that you quoted? I guess you didn't.

My wife is not a prostitute because she wouldn't expect me to pay her for her skills and attributes.

She only wants to be appreciated, loved and cared for. There is room for appreciation of my wife with my resources, words, care and attention. I only have a challenge when she feels I must pay or reward her for her skills and attributes and she commands me to do so.

Kobojunkie:
It is these sickening delusions of yours that make me thank God everyday that I am not a Christian!

God cursed marriage and childbearing in Genesis 3 vs 16 . He washed his hands of both, leaving it to the world of men. He cursed a woman in marriage saying though she would desire her husband, the husband would blindly rule over her in marriage. Christians completely ignore all that is stated so they can instead assert that God is glorified in the marriages and lives subject to God's curse.
Jesus Christ came along and declared that your marriages are of this world and not of the Kingdom of God - Luke 20 vs 34 -36. Affirming God's original claim that He no longer has His hands or desire on the marriages of men, yet Christians continue to insist, even 2000 years after that God glories in their marriages which are submitted to the curse of sin. This kind of blindness, dem no dey buy am for the market at all!

2. Yet more delusional gibberish!

Amazing, so are not a Christian. Hmm, you need Jesus in your life.

Anyway, let's address the issues you have raised.

God did not curse marriage and child bearing; God did not wash his hands off both and left it for men. No!

God is the author and finisher of marriage. He ordained and master minded it and he made it excellent. He gave a blue print of it but the world is trying to twist marriage to become whatever they wish.

God did not order the man to rule blindly over woman in marriage. No! God declared than the husband would rule above his wife.

Gen 3:16 - I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to husband, but he shall rule over you.”

Jesus never affirmed the , supposed, position of God that God is no longer involved in marriage. Who brainwashed you to this extent? You have been broken and you really need help ASAP.

You don't have to get married, of you are not ready. You should not even get married in this state. The marriage will be a disaster.

You need to be schooled and lectured on marriage, largely from God's perspective. I understand your challenge now and I feel terribly sorry about the situation. But it is not hopeless if you are willing to let go and give in to Godly teachings about marriage.

What the feminist movement should advocate is not equality with your husband. You should rather advocate equity in the society so that every one, both men and women, can have what is required to be successful in life, endeavors and marriages. Everyone will be happy, satisfied and fulfilled in marriage with equity guaranteed.

Kobojunkie:
1. That is a foolish summation on your part. In the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ introduced the Holy Spirit — the Spirit of Truth — as a Helper to those who belong to Him. Are you somehow suggesting that equally means that the Holy Spirit is meant to take a back seat in the lives of the followers of Jesus Christ?

2. Which Satan again? Why can't you people stop yourselves from using every opportunity you get to proclaim your fervor for the demons that haunt you? The story speaks of a serpent, and you already jumped to calling on Satan? Jeez!

According to the account, there was no sharing of blame to be had since they were both culpable— even the snake was held responsible for what happened. So, I am not sure why these desperate attempts to twist the story when it is not needed.

Again, Eve was Adam's equal before Eve and Adam sinned against God and remained Adam's equal even after God placed the curse on women in marriage. The curse made it appear as though they were not.

It is interesting to see you talk about the Bible records, that insinuates that you are Christian.

No wonder you dodged the questions I put to you earlier. You really need deep understanding of the concept of marriage according to God.

Do you know that the Holy Spirit operates in the life of christians to the extent that you allow him operate? The Holy Spirit can actually take the lead in your life, if you allow him, and you can equally take the lead and take responsibility for the consequences. That does not mean the the Holy Spirit was not with you, in fact you were in the situation together but you chose to take the lead and he followed, as powerful as he is.

The serpent was possessed by the Satan, read your Bible again. Hence the serpent, in the case, that convinced Eve to take from the fruit of the three of knowledge of good and evil, against God's will, is satan/devil.

What curse did God place on women that made it look like woman is not equal to man? Can you share it.

Eve was made from man unlike every creation of God. God had to cause man to sleep and pull his rib and make a woman with it. Don't you think there was a lesson God was trying to communicate to us all. My lady, Adam and Eve were all God's creation but Adam was not Eve's equal, even in the garden of Eden.

God had to challenge Adam directly, not Eve, when he realized what they have done. The silly Adam could only respond that it was the woman he created for him that gave him the fruit to eat.

Man and Woman are equal before God and everyone but in marriage, the husband is not equal to his wife before God. There is a reason for that and you have to ask God to explain to you the reason.
