Typical wailing Ipobians. That was how my people annihilated yours and nearly wiped your lots from the face of God's green one, If we hadn't perhaps you'd have known your Grandfather for the notorious monumental ogbologbo that he really was. In fact history has it that, he was part of the goons robbing people off their yams at the bush path close to the market square..... In fact it was in one of those raids he raped your grandmother.

Consequently you retard of a father was born, your silly village Chief was uncharacteristically wise to figure the idiott won't amount to anything so he summarily banished them all and that my friend was how your people came to Lagos...

And about your Mom, lol! That Pussy Gallore, captain of the Cum squad. Pls hustle hard and retire her so Atleast her legs can rest.

Akiolu and Ajayi Bembe said the exact same thing and no rejoinder could counter the facts they presented.
It's way deeper than that ni ooo cheesy
She deliberately withheld many things some people don't wanna hear.

For the folks who can't handle the facts, find out whose signatures were on the treaty that ceded Lagos to the British.
And then find out who the Awori actually were and how large they were before jumping to conclusions.
Lagos is more or less Yoruba in every way, there's no controversy about that, the land or the people.
Its the precolonial history that is being discussed here, and that's the story of who was whom before Lagos became what it is today.

Now where is that loud mouthed cheerleader angry

Do you know it is on record that Benin in ancient times actually paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo.
The Ogamien family of Benin,the Ijaws and Itsekiris can help you cut through the propaganda and confirm it for you.


Please read this document written by Sir Alfred Moloney British Colonial Governor of Lagos written in 1890 start from the 4th paragraph .It is not news that Benin paid tribute to Oranmiyan and subsequent Alaafins after he left Benin and became the Alaafin of Oyo except to the revisionists.Thank you.

Benin people owned Lagos



If you read Samuel Johnsons history of the Yorubas and Jacob Egherevba book (A short history of Benin) you will know that Benin was a tributary of the Alaafin of Oyo. Every serious student of history knows this fact. Jacob Egherevba was a Benin high Chief.
The British Governors document merely confirmed a very well known fact. I say this with humility but this is primary school history.



"In a valuable letter by the Rev. S. A. Crowther (afterwards Bishop) to Thomas J. Hutchinson, Esq., Her Britannic Majesty's consul for the Bight of Biafra and the Island of Fernando Po, published as Appendix A to the book entitled " Impressions of Western Africa,"^ we find the following graphic description of the country:—. . .


" This part of the country of which Lagos in the Bight of Benin is the seaport, is generally known as the Yoruba country, extending from the Bight to within two or three days' journey to the banks of the Niger.^ This country comprises many tribes governed by their own chiefs and having their own laws. At one time they were all tributaries to one Sovereign, the King of Yoruba, including Benin on the East, and Dahomey on the West, but are now independent. ' Longmans, Green & Co., 1858. "^

i.e. At the time of writing.—Ed. The principal tribes into which this kingdom is divided are as follows :—The Egbados : This division includes Otta and Lagos near the sea coast, forming a belt of country on the banks of the lagoon in the forest, to Ketu on the border of Dahomey on the West ; then the Jebu on the East on the border of Benin; then the Egbas of the forest now known as the Egbas of Abeokuta. Then comes Yoruba proper northwards in the plain ; Ife, Ijesha, Ijamo, EfoH, Ondo, Idoko, Igbomina, and Ado near the banks of the Niger, from which a creek or stream a little below Iddah is called Do or Iddo River."

(Culled from Samuel Johnsons "History of the Yorubas"wink

Can you see that even Bishop Ajayi Crowther confirmed it in his letter.


"In fact we may almost take it as proved that as Oranmiyan and his army, as well as his brothers', pushed on their conquests in every direction, the princes and the war-lords were stationed in various parts to hold the country, and from them sprang the many provincial kings of various ranks and grades now existing. This also accounts for the tradition that the Yoruba sway once extended as far as Ashanti and included the Gas of Accra, for the Gas say that their ancestors came from Ile Ife; and the constitution of the Ga language is said to be more like Yoruba than hke Fanti, the language of the Gold Coast, and the area in which that language is spoken is strictly limited And, certainly, until comparatively recent times the Popos and Dahomians paid tribute regularly to Oyo as their feudal head ; it is certain, therefore, that the generals and war-lords of Oranmiyan pushed on far beyond the limits of the Yoruba country as now known, and although in places remote from the centre, as the Benins and Sekiris in the east and the Popos, Dahomians and Gas in the west, the Yoruba language is not spoken, yet the knowledge of it exists among the ruling chiefs and the priestly caste who still maintain their connection with Ile Ife, the place of their common origin. This view will also to some extent explain the mutual understanding and bond of sympathy existing between the Ifes, Ekitis, and allied families as remnants of the largely diluted aboriginal elements still having many things in common, and their natural antipathy—more or less—to the Oyos or Yorubas Proper. It is also worthy of remark that all the principal rulers of the country, to show the validity of their claims, must trace their relationship by one way or another to the Alafin of Oyo, who is the direct descendant of Oranmiyan, son and successor of Oduduwa, the founder; which simply implies that the children and offspring of the conqueror are the chief rulers over the different parts of the conquered territories."

Benin paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo !!!!!

I'm not promoting tribal rivalry ,I'm just stating an historical fact. The Yorubas and Benins are brothers.who often helped each other when faced with real external aggression like the Dahomey wars or the Fulani Jihad.

Brothers agreed but paying tribute to any Of the tribes that now make up the Yoruba's is a big fat lie.

We all know it's the Crowthers and Johnson's that gave the Yoruba's an identity.

It doesn't matter if you like it or not, truth is constant ,and the truth in this case is that Benin started paying tribute to Oranmiyan when he was the Alaafin of Oyo.


,” “According to historical sources, it was the sixteenth-century Songhai scholar by the name of Ahmed Baba al Massufi who first used the word ‘Yoruba’ in a scholarly article (written in Arabic) to describe people in what is now Oyo, Osun, and parts of Kwara. Hausa-speaking people copied the name from al Massifi’s book and popularized it.”


The Niger Journal of Richard and John Lander Page 8 ,
Clapperton and Richard Lander travelled through Yorubaland in 1825 and even had an audience with the Alaafin at Oyo, so where did you get your theory that it's the Crowthers and Johnson's that gave the Yoruba's an identity from?

So you did not see the part where it said the Oyo's ruled to the sea and over Benin and Dahomey?
Oyo means the Alaafin of Oyo.

I am putting the record straight in all humility for the sake of the future generations, history has a lot to teach us for posterity.

In those days Eko lagos was a bini war camp from where the binis captured yoruba slaves like exotic monkeys ad auctioned them off as (gbanjo) give away price in the market..
I heard that yoruba slaves where too much in all the bini slave market that if you buy one you get two free.

Paying tribute does not equate owning. During colonial times, Africans paid taxes/tribute to Europeans. Does that mean Europeans OWN Africa? Stupid low IQ individuals are too many in this country. Simple logic they are incapable of executing.

No be ONLY Lagos. Na the whole world tiny bini OWN. Nonsense and ingredients.
