What is your own history? Tell us? How come your rulers were Ogiso before they became Oba? What caused them to become Oba?

Close your mouth and stop spewing lies and making up stories they are not Yoruba's and never will..... They keep denouncing you ppl at every turn grin grin grin
They are not, so you are from there. Mumu. Same way you want to take ijaw land from them abi? grin grin. I doubt if you know the meaning of bini you are from or know the very first king of bini. Go home and ask your elders to explain to you why the heads of formal obas of Benin usually buried in oduduwa shrine in ife.

That is falsehood! Bini never invaded Lagos at anytime in history. Bini Kingdom as polular as it was never had the military capability to invade Lagos. There is no evidence of that in a any history ( if you have one please quote). And there are no other evidence of bini conquering any kingdom like ondos, ilajes and ijebus along the way to Lagos. (so how did they get to Lagos?)

But its true that Bini people came to Lagos at one time and they influence the royal culture in Lagos island only.

Others like ondos, ijebus, ilajes and even ekitis/ijesha came too and settled in places like yaba, ido

But People have been in Lagos before all these people

Lagos of that time was not rich and important like now. The white man made Lagos prosperous.So it was not so economical important to close militaly empires like dahomey and Oyo empire to invade.

They're invaders, illiterate of history, tell anywhere in Lagos State that bini language is their native language, if not British forced their forefathers language on us, no one will be speaking English as Official language in Nigeria today.

Deo1986:
Bini are not the owners of Lagos but they did conquer lagos some 600 ago. It was a result of jealousy when they saw the extent of the Bini kingdom and how the oba of Lagos was afraid to sign any treaty with them, refering them to his superior at Bini that the perfidous British then sack the binis from lagos in the mid eighteen century when they carried out the first punitive expedition sending the then Oba on exile to Calabar. The sneakish yorubas from all part of yoruba land began creeping in to lay claim to Lagos.

Painful much? By the way that is not a Yoruba tribal mark, We have tribal marks in Yoruba land because it is part of our culture and belief that children and family are more important than anything and should not be lost in case of war and they are taken captive they have a means of identity in a foreign land and can easily find each other and trace their way back home, and as per Benin owing Lagos, it's just oba Akiolu trying to get back at the ooni of ife for their altercation, but Igbos don't have to believe it because it will be a cold day in hell before they will tell the truth but they will always strive and aspire but they will never unseat Yoruba from the helm of affairs in Lagos.

“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.
then what happens to the people that own the land?

You people just talk without using reason

Most Africans have tribal marks including Hausa, Igbo (ichi) and Yoruba.
