I Never Said Benin Owned Lagos – Oba Akiolu by AxxeMan: 9:14pm On Dec 11, 2017
The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, on Monday said he never said that the Benin people owned Lagos.
The monarch spoke in Victoria Island, Lagos, at the launch of “Defend the Defenseless”, a book written by Arese Carrington, wife of a former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, Walter Carrington.
Oba Akiolu was reacting to controversies generated by his earlier remarks that the developmental strides being witnessed in Lagos State was because of the blessings given to it by a past Oba of Benin.
The comment generated debates in the media with many contesting the monarch’s position.

In a recent interview with PUNCH, Sammy Adebiyi, a prince of the Akinsemoyin Ruling House of Lagos, who is contesting rights to the throne of Oba of Lagos, said that the Awori are the original owners of Lagos.
Mr. Adebiyi added that neither the Benin nor the Yoruba owned Lagos.

Apparently making reference to reactions generated by his earlier comments, Oba Akiolu on Monday took shots at those who criticised him, saying many of them are not “bonafide sons of Lagos.”
The monarch promised to reply his critics by next year when he begins celebration of his 15th year on the throne as king.

“I never said Bini owned Lagos… but the influence of the Oba of Benin, nobody can wash it away in Lagos,” he said.

“You must have been reading many things in the newspapers. By the grace of God Almighty Allah, next year when I begin to celebrate my 15th anniversary, they will know the kind of person Oba Akiolu is.”

The monarch also commended the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, saying nobody can stop him in his political aspirations.

It is too late to change how Oba Akiolu was interpreted. The influence and blood of Bini that have been accommodated for too long will be washed clean.

It is surprising that they have not denied their father, Alagba from Ilesa.

Ilesa should be beating their chest, not their half Bini half Awori mother.

the real owners that are still crying about Ambode demolishing their dirty 2x2 shops grin grin. These people won't kill us with laugh. Try and develop your landlocked potorpotor region that's being washed away by erosion first. We know you Ps and Is with your italian-Edo siblings are really pained by Akiolu's statement but we understand you're trying to mask it. You'll all be fine grin cheesy.

“I never said Bini owned Lagos… "
And you never said Yorubas owned Lagos, right?
Are you now implying Lagos is a no man's land?
Smh. This is what you get when people deliberately attempt to twist history; you'll say one thing today and a different thing tomorrow, according to the political climate.
But we all know the truth: if anyone should claim ownership of Lagos., then it should be the Binis.

A family was at the dinner table.
Son asked his father -'Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there??'
Surprised father answered - 'Well, son, there are three kinds of boobs...: In her 20's, a woman's are like melons, round and firm. In her 30's to 40's, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions'.
Son - 'Onions?'
Father - 'Yes, you see them and they make you cry. �'
This made his wife and daughter mad �. So the daughter said -'Mom, how many kinds of 'joysticks' are there?'
The mother smiled and answered - 'Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his 20's, his penis is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30's and 40's, it is like a birch�, flexible but reliable. After his 50's, it is like a Christmas Tree.'
Daughter - 'A Christmas tree?'
*Mom - 'Yes - the tree is dead and the balls are just for decoration.'*
��
Merry Xmas in advance
