You are a fool, he as an Awori traced his ancestry to Benin.

You idiots are kids, no one is saying Benin own Lagos now, but we are saying when Benin founded Lagos, you aboriginal yorubas were in villages picking cocoa, this is about 600 years ago and earlier. Are you an idiot or you just want to sound stupid?

Are you saying this is the first time you heard Benin collected taxes in Lagos and controlled it, before the British took over?

If you collect taxes and controlled a place in it's formative years, what does it mean?

It's recent history, fool.

So, Yoruba, the Owori owns Lagos state after all? Case closed.

You are even more frustrated than I thought. How can Benin found Lagos when ( according to your screen shot ) it states they met the oringal owner?

Can you read your screen shot for crying Earth's sake?

The indigenous name of Lagos (Eko) comes from the Bini language. Even some indigenous Lagos names like "Obanikoro" can be traced back to Benin

If Eko is Bini, Oba is a word from which language?

This Oba is obviously smoking Canadian loud.

I have never seen intellectual dishonesty like this before. When he saw that “Benin Found Lagos” he spit was all jargons, he try to do damage control by saying “Maybe some part of Lagos”.

He can authoritatively say Benin found Lagos, but he had to put “Maybe” some part of Lagos later.



The Awori people founded and Own Lagos
And next to them only Ijebu and Ilaje may make such a Claim

Benin also has an Oba. In fact, he's not known by any other title apart from Oba, unlike Ooni and Alaafin. This signifies that he is a superior monarch to those two.

I don't understand how somebody will be claiming something and yet his own source says otherwise.


Your screenshot states' that your Oba of Benin( the crown owned by Yorubas anyway) came to Lagos and met the sub-Yoruba group, Owori and yet you have the nerves to claim that same Oba created Lagos?

IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT LAGOS IS NOT YORUBA LAND.


THE MAIN PORT USED BY YORUBA SLAVE TRADERS WAS IN BENIN REPUBLIC.


OBA OF BENIN DISCOVERED LAGOS.

EVIDENCE IS IN THE WORD IDU MOTA.


OBA OF BENIN IS ON RECORD AS TRAVELLING BY RIVER AND THE PROXIMITY TO LAGOS IS VERY NEAR.


HE WAS SLAVE TRADING ON THAT COAST DURING THE SAID PERIOD OF 15TH CENTURY.
