ichidodo: To prove my notion, what is d name of the area @ which his palace is located, is it a yoruba name or a bini name? If it is d former eko belongs to d yorubas but if it is d latter then Eko is nobody's land.

Ola def2: who is this one ? Mr man what kind of life is this u ar living ? This tread is about yoruba/lagos history particularly 'can't u stay mute to learn ? And the funny things is many of u e-warrors ranting lagos no mans land may have never knew the color of lastma uniform to talk of being to the lagos' I pity many of yoh!

olu_kenzo :


I don't mean no harm. These things happened before any of us were born and one thing I have come to discover is that, different people bear different accounts of such events. Usually, the most flowery about them and theirs.

More so, a logical perusal of your account in bold, corroborates my point.

berem: This thread is all about the Yoruba and their colonies no doubt! I expect you as an Odua son which you claim to be, to add positive and meaningful contributions to the thread.

This thread is an educative one for Yorubas and non yorubas. Please stop displaying your outright stoopidity and stay on topic. If you still don't have anything to say, waka comot for the thread let people who have their brains stuck in their skull comment.

Orlando Owoh:
Nonsense. BTW, are you the same person as Billyonaire? You never make sense.

ichidodo: Learn what? To learn how to manipulate contemporary history to sooth your insecured souls, thanx but no thanx.

Ola def2: how irrelevant u ar on the tread then!

alj harem:

Very silly analogy. So there were no people during Adam's era ? I suggest you go read your Bible well

bittyend: Why do dunderheads always feel the need to attribute Lagos to Benin? Do I need to remind you nutjobs that the few Edos that settled in Lagos, settled in Lagos Island which is like 1/200th of Lagos and that they came there by request not conquest? And they also don't own anything where they settled?

I posted based on what I read in the bible.
Maybe you can post what the Quran says about it so I can review and revise my post as necessary.
Thanks.

odua son: ichidodo the bird,the name of the palace of the oba of lagos is IGA IDUNGARAN. Does this name look like benin.


IGA derives from the Oyo/Ife Yoruba language GAA meaning Royal Home or Palace,IDUN means land, place orsound of while IGANRAN is the Yorubaword for pepper. Iga Idunganran therefore translates to mean the palace built on a pepper farm, Aromire having used the land previously as a farm.

Egbas and Ijebus are brothers from different mothers. The Ijebus actually had upper hand in the early days when the Egbas were in the homestead and living far apart from each other but couldnt intimidate the Egbas when they came together in Abeokuta. The Ikijas in Abeokuta have some similar tribal marks as the Ijebus. The Owus also have many similarities with the Ijebus. The war that scattered the Egbas actually started with the Owus being attacked by the Ijebus because of an incidence at Akesan market. Egba meji ki jaran won ni yon, Bawa.
Ijebu omo alaren.
This thread is making me home sick. Come to think of it,some funny guys are telling us what is the essence of this thread.
ANSWER - My kids should know their origin and know their ancestors were not cowards as being alluded in some quarters.

omonnakoda:
No this is not true. The Colony of Lagos refers to Lagos Island,Ikoyi Victoria Island up to Ebute Metta. In fact it does not cover the whole of Lagos State as we know it today.
I suggest you read this ;
http://libsysdigi.library.illinois.edu/ilharvest/Africana/Books2011-05/3064634/3064634_1898_lagos/3064634_1898_lagos_opt.pdf

e.g There are significant parts of Lagos State today e.g Epe.Ikorodu that were and still are Ijebu territory.These were part of the Western Region after independence,added to Lagos State in 1967 and were never part of the FEDERAL CAPITAL.
The British produced annual reports on THE COLONY OF LAGOS such as this one in `1898 but I do not have time now to paste images of the report.Any one who has time can help us or even create a thread.
After establishing the Colony of Lagos in 1861 the British sought to trade with the rest of Yorubaland but faced obstruction from the Ijebus and eventually subdued them militarily in 1892 as they did with other parts of the interior
.These were generally referred to as the "Protectorate of the Western Province" and then The Colony and Protectorate of Western Province . Ilaro e.g was subdued in 1893,Ilorin in 1897 etc.

The Colony of Lagos came about by an entirely different Treaty agreement to that with other places in Yorubaland(Protectorate}

If the British had not conquered the Ijebus in 1891 I do not see how an 1891 Census could be referring to SW Nigeria

ichidodo: It took you more than 30 mins to answer my question maybe it was long enough to do some manipulation.'IDUN' IS NOT LAND OR PLACE IN YORUBA, YOU BLOODY LIAR! Since you are not saying the truth could you be covering up something? Could 'idu' be a name for land in bini language?

odua son: ichidodo the bird,the name of the palace of the oba of lagos is IGA IDUNGARAN. Does this name look like benin.

ichidodo: This yoruba man want to wayo mi, emi Omoigbo ( igbo boi). idugaran, is a place of pepper in Bini tongue.I don't blame you because we are in a faceless forum you think you can lie your way into making us not believe Lagos is a no man's land baa?

unless u have another souce disputing what i posted before ur claim remains bogus and unverified

Adm. Yamamoto:
Crying and gnashing of teeth is coming soon from the East, the Niger side cry babies! No need to mention names but notice that the Hausa and Benin who were recorded to have been or near the Yoruba SW at the time of this publications will not cry. Going to work and home is different for them, they love their lands so much that if gold were to grow from the ground anywhere else they may grab some but still want only their lands. The Benin, some of them cousins of the Yorubas, were there too, enjoy and contribute to the progress of our lands, it doesn't mean they are ready to pass-up their own inheritance, their lands just east of the Yoruba SW. But the cry babies, they hate their land, they would do anything to get the lands of others. It is time we tell them the truth and that they are no longer wanted!

bakynes: Pple like Ichidodo and his fellow igbos knows who lagos belongs to.He is just trying to annoy you guys here.Free him let him keep ranting.

odua son: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iga_Idunganran?seg=1

I repeat unless you have another source supporting your claims,it still remains bogus and unverified.

The ancient tombs

All the Obas of Lagos before Oba Akintoye are buried in Benin City.

ShymmexLion: We definitely need Kats, Dudu_negro, Terracotta and maybe aribisala/omonnkoda on this thread.

Interesting quote from the wikipedia source for those laying claim that Lagos belongs to "their ANCESTORS"



Those who want to continue dwelling on whether na dem Adam ancestor be owner of Lagos wey come turn dem garden of Eden are free to do so.
