9jakool: I stop reading when he said he knows nothing about Oranmiyan, you asked him to provide the list of the said SW town under Benin and he started throwing insult. You must be a very patient person in real life. 2 Likes |

9jakool: I respect your kinda person, very matured and patient. I dont have that kinda patience, many of them just conjure rubbish together and start spamming it everywhere as fact. His only contibution to this thread is insult, arrogance and some useless map By their warped logic, since Oranmiyan was sent to Benin to be the king(First King), can we now say Benin is Yorubaland. Oranmiyan was buried in Ile Ife and his staff still there till now. Oba Ewuare confirmed same and said he is the 40th while Oranmiyan brought Obaship to Benin and the first Oba of Benin. The history of Lagos is even on Lagos state website, Awori's are owner of Lagos excluding Ikorodu and Epe Ijebu. Aworis (Olofin) migrated from Ile Ife, some children of Olofin Ogunfunminire, called the Idejos are the owners of Lagos land. All these are indisputable facts. 3 Likes

history2901: Notes on Yoruba and the Colony and Protectorate of Lagos, West Africa Alfred Moloney Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society and Monthly Record of Geography Vol. 12, No. 10 (Oct., 1890), pp. 596-614 Published by: Wiley on behalf of The Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) Also note that the first English Slave ships reached the Niger delta in 1553. So deadly was the climate that, of those ships' crews of one hundred and forty men, one hundred died of fever. Ruy de Sequeira who visited the area in 1472 named the area Lago de curamo. Below is a map of the area from 1786. In the middle can you see place called Jabum where Lagos is? That is how the Portuguese pronounced Ijebu a sub tribe of the Yoruba who also own Epe,Ikorodu and even the area around lekki today.Tha Awori's were there but lived in numerous smaller settlements . To the bottom left can you see Popo ? The Popos are a sub tribe of the Yoruba and the King of the Popo's was in control of Badagry when the missionaries Thomas freeman and Henry Townsend first reached there in 1842. Again near the middle of the map can you see a place called Odi in the exact location where Ijebu Ode (sometimes called Ode for short) a Yoruba town is today? Even the Lagos Island is labelled Jiboe (Jebu). 2 Likes 1 Share

Nice one bro, it also gives an address, i will visit the place the next time I go to london. That being said, I read the page and except the reference to the alleged situation sixty years before writing the paper, it only talks about yoruba speaking peoples and where they live. It doesn't specify the yoruba speaking peoples as being sovereign in those places. It even mentions a place (illorin) which was being rulled by el sultan. Christistruth00: 1 Like |

Please, you have to reference the book. I need to know if it is authentic. Tell me the library it is from and give me all available details. Anybody can write a book and put whatever rubbish he wants on it. That is why I need the referrences. Christistruth00: |

Benin didn't have slaves. Benin had citizens of an extended empire. We didn't participate in the slave trade. BininEmpire: 1 Like |

BininEmpire: When they reply you in kind, you will cry to the mods. You are trying to compare an irrelevant and tiny Bini to a blessed Yoruba nation. Even your useless king dare not call Yoruba slaves. You must be out of your mind. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
