Tony Spike: It's cool, bruv. I'm actually reading an interesting link here. Apparently, the Ekiti's settled in the Ido area since like the 14th century or there about. And the Onikoyi is actually from Oyo. Also the Olumegbon is originally from Ajah, which is an Ijebu enclave. So it seems the Idejo Chiefs aren't predominantly Awori's. I know there are definitely Egba Chiefs among them. So Lagos has evidently always been a melting point for all Yoruba's. I'll post the link in a bit. 1 Like |

No, the Ijebus were the middlemen, dealing mostly in clothing materials, arms, European products and of course slaves. The state rose in power in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries mainly due to its important position on the trade routes between Lagos and Ibadan. The kingdom imposed sharp limits on trade insisting that all trade through the region be conducted by Ijebu merchants. The ijebus have always been elites and thus weren't so impressed with British whence they came. They refused to allow the missionaries through the town calling it an abomination, they also ordered the egbas not to harbour them. The egbas couldn't muster the level of ijebu courage and hence were shoved aside. The Awujale then ordered the alake to bring the mud house where the British were received on His head. This stunt didn't happen because war broke out later and the ijebus, though gallant in battle, lost to the superior fire power of her Majesty's army. |

People will always gravitate to areas of economic activities. The longer an area remains successful, the longer migrants will remain there.

olu_kenzo : I know the Ijebu's have always been elites and merchants but I doubt we had dominion over the Egba's. We did lose a few wars against them and they're bravehearts.

ShymmexLion: This is not sth you discuss in public, the olumegbon is not from Ajah. His father was accommodated by the father of the Ajah, Ajalorun. Hence, when the case went to court and the Olumegbon family was asked to name the Ajah deities, he couldn't. again asked to name the location of the shrine, no answer. The burial place of their ancestors in community, he couldn't. But the Ajahs easily answered all these. The world is never fair, really. 4 Likes |

Lagos is culturally Yoruba. The traditional rulers are yoruba men. The names of majority places are Yoruba. The only Nigerian language you can learn if growing up in lagos us Yoruba. 8 Likes |

ShymmexLion:I think the problem is people use the term "Lagos" interchangeably and erroneously.The census is about the Colony of Lagos NOT Lagos STATE as we know it today. Let us be clear about that!! Lagos state today inludes Epe and Ikorodu(Ijebu territories) which were NOT part of the census. I really don't see how you can come to the conclusion that; "the population of Oyo is even higher than the Ijebu's in Lagos". Firstly the census was in 1898 not today. Secondly which "Lagos" ,Lagos State or the Former Colony. Let logic prevail!! Most "Lagos" Ijebus were fishermen and many crossed the lagoon frequently from Aja,Badore,Lekki to Ikorodu,Bayeku,Igbogbo etc. They were unlikely to be counted in any Lagos Census but today have several agboles on the Island. Don't forget that as of 1891 the Ijebus had not signed any treaty with the British!! |

olu_kenzo : Eweso at the bolded!! Err...I don't know if they did or not. However, from everything I've read, the Egba's have always been a thorn in the flesh of the Ijebu's, especially the Owu's. I think it's like a cat and mouse relationship. Regardless, that doesn't negate the greatness and achievements of the ever war-like Egba people and the shrewdness of the Ijebu merchants. We're the closest in Yorubaland and kind of like siamese twins. |
