Naija we will always have something to hold on to yesterday it was NK bail, today na Obas issues we will leave national matter and concentrate on Matias.

Our looters always serve us something hot to argue, to say and distract us from d major issues..in fela voice my people dey inside bus suffering and smiling.

You mean the looters told the Oba of Lagos and the Ooni of Ife to snub each other in order to distract Nigerians?
I never knew that!

Ooni of Ife needs to start forming for some people, he needs a little bit of pride and arrogance as a king.
Eleko of eko baba Fuad is a Royal tout representing #TeamLagos, Don't ever disrespect the Arole Odua.
#IstandWithOoni

and a new meme is born. guys what are you waiting for? we need the memes to start pouring in...

Rilwan is just an old fool....

Make una no blame Oba of Lagos,
he may think that the Ooni is an igbo man that belongs in the Lagoon.

maybe the eleko was only reminding him that as the Ooni he is not meant to be seen everywhere and shaking hands with other obas...lol

oba of Lagos has a Benin blood in him he is a born warrior, that should be respected by all, he associated with who ever he chooses his no man has right to question his conduct except the great oba of benin

this is what happens when an eagle starts eating foul food together with foul

bakynes:

There is no grudge nor argument about this, the Seat or throne of Lagos is that of Yoruba not Benin. All Oba of Lagos have always been Yorubas except a period when the Oba of Benin conquered Lagos and placed a representative there till when the British came and restored the throne back to the Yoruba King.

Ur are wrong it had nothing to do with d British picking an oba. It started with oba akintoye and oba dosunmu who stopped paying tribute and homage to the oba of benin these where formers oba,s of lagos and remained a stand alone oba away from the influence of oba of benin,oni and alafin check your history books before arguing

So are Oba Akintoye and Dosunmu Benin men or Yoruba men?

bakynes:

Oba Ado was in fact the first Oba of Lagos placed there by the Oba of Benin and he paid tribute and taxes to the Benin Empire. What I am just trying to say is that the Oba of Lagos is occupied by an Awori King and not by a Benin person. Aworis migrated from Ife to that farm settlement named Eko by the Oba of Benin.

Oba Ado is a son of Ashipa (the Benin Warrior). All Obas of Lagos trace lineage from Ashipa

Benin Men na

House of Ologun Kutere (an Oba Ado Descendant)

The first oba of lagos oba ado was a yoruba awori man installed by a benin king and paid tribute to benin.no oba of lagos ever paid tribute called isakole in Yoruba to d oni or alaffin.the oba,s of lagos has always been isolated when they stopped paying tribute to benin.this are historical facts.so the oba of lagos doesnt feel subjected to the oni even though he is a yoruba man unlike under yoruba oba,s directly appointed by the oni or alaffin and recieve tributes and homage from them

These names are Yoruba names and not Benin.

No Yoruba Oba pays tribute or taxes to Ooni and Alaafin except for the small baales in Ife and Oyo. The likes of Awujale,Alake do not pay tribute to any of them.

Just go read about the history.

Lagos is inhabited by the aworis although most of the island was uninhabited and was a war camp.

However, the bloodline of the Obas are binis.

Yorubas and Benin have language links as you would expect from border tribes. A lot of Edos bear Yoruba names and there are words with similar meanings in both languages.

for instance - Eletu Odibo - the title of the King maker in Lagos - is a benin word.


Also, hope you realise that the Obas of Lagos up till Oba Akintoye were buried in Benin

DJSlimGaga:

You lack common sense

I have leaved almost all my life in Lagos and I know what am talking about. As a Yoruba man that I am. I can say it anywhere that children raised or born in lagos lack manner and respect as compared to other yoruba state. Am if you dont like what i said come and beat me

this is my comment

Immensely thought out! Can't wait to try it out.
