The Binis first discovered Lagos. The sea was used as a port of trade between them and the Portuguese. They didn't settle there until the Aworis stopped paying royalties to them after they settled there. The territory was later conquered and became an extension of Benin kingdom. The territory was then named Eko in Bini meaning war camp.

You too dey lie. Who told you this far fetched story?

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.

You too dey lie. Tell me why the binis are not claiming ondo state. But jump over it and ogun to claim Lagos.

"So edo state government now recognizes chinese communities ine edo, what an ignorant comparison
1) The Bini met the Ijaws in their current settlement when they left Ille-Ife courtesy of late Dr. Jacob U. Egharevba, an eminent traditional who him self is a benin in his book titled "A short History of benin Third Print :, 1968 page 1.
(2) there was no time that any part of Ijaw Land, Gelegelegbene inclusive has been part of Bini Kingdom because all European Explorers who visited the Binin Kingdom wrote that the Ijaws were not living under the authority of the Oba of Binin; British Consul Richard Burton wrote in his book (My Wanderings In West Africa) in 1863 that "in 20 minutes, we reached Gelegele a village of Ijaw-Men".
(3) According to the E.A. Kenyo in his book "the origin and the title of Yoruba Rulers" page 3. He wrote about: " The New people" the Bini thus" up till this time of Oba of {Benin} and his people were pure Yoruba and did not understand the language of the Aborigines who usually salute themselves and the new and the new people thus: "A Doo" "Dolo O" and wherever the Oba's people saw the Aborigines they used to call them "Ados" from were the name Edo was taken. The Adoo is an Ijaw prayer greeting from the root "UNDO" meaning"may you live long".
(4) According to prof. Allan Rider in his book "Bini and Europeans" 1485-1897, published 1967, page 27.
Which ever of the "Slave River" the portuguese frequented, the people they first met would have belonged to the Ijohs {Ijaws} which dominated the coastal belt swamp forest, extending inland to a depth of 30 to 40 mile in this region.
(5) He went further to state in page 28 thus: ""The Bini Edo lived now as they seem then, outside swamp forest area... and there are no reason for believing that it ever extended to the coast. Nor are the Bini ever river faerer or cannoe men"
Thus it is cheer stupidity and the worst form of traditional perfidy for these traditional rulers with what now seem a lack of academic capacity even in advisory level to have said that the Governors of Delta and Bayelsa States should call their people to order as if Ijaws in Edo State came to take permission from them before settling there whereas they met the Ijaws in Edo State there when they came from the North-East and South-West of Nigeria respectively. Again, it is clear that they knew nothing about the origin of Ijaw"

JESUUUU! ....How can you lie in public like this. Bini discovered Lagos with what geogapical compass? grin

Could you please cite one historian to confirm your satement.How come Bini conquered Lagos but did not conquered ondos, ilajes, ijebus? if lagos was bini war camp, please who were they fighting with in that area at time? was it with the Aworis who had no kingdom or army or Dahomey or the OYO empire that controlled most of the present yoruba land up to dahomey at one point in time. My friend the true is that bini was an influential kingdom not an empire and never had military capability to wage war against dahomeY not to talk of OYO empire at that time. so Lagos island or eko was never a military camp ( no evidence of that in any history. I dare you to cite one)

Please go and read yourself and stop reading uneducated people lies on vanguard newspaper to misinform people on nairaland.

People have forgotten that at the time in question , Yoruba was the courtyard language even the palace of Oba of Benin, so they were not really seen as strangers by the Aworis. Binis can continue to deny their origin, good for them. As for Lagos, it was never theirs. They invaded it and have lost it forever.

aybabz101:
from history, the awori's are the original settlers in lagos. and the awori's are yorubas. at the height of their power, the benins ravaged through yoruba kingdom conquering the oyo empire and the aworis, making lagos a slave camp. the British came in, submerged the benin kingdom. this weakens the kingdom and her influence dwindled.

to say the benins owned lagos is obnoxious. even looking at it geographically, lagos couldn't belong to them coz they need to pass tru the oyo empire then and the benins are nt known for their prowess of the sea-coz dat is d only logical way to settle in lag without passing tru d oyo empire.

This Benin-SW matters show how tribalistic we still are.

It should not be rocket science that lots of mixing happened long time ago. And continues today.

I have never heard Edo people petitioning FG to make Lagos part of Edo State or vice versa.

We have a problem of ignorance and pettiness in this 9ja o.

Abi ooo. It's just some rats on Nl making fuse over nothing nao. The Benins don't go about making unrealistic claims even though historically, many things happened that made them intertwined with the Yorubas. Only uneducated trolls are yarning smacks on their behalf here.

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 .

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.

Akinsemoyin and Akiolu are fraudsters. They better go and get title from the Oba of Benin and leave the Oba of Lagos throne alone. We Awori are ready to take our throne back. By the way the title is Oba of his community Or Ado. Not even Lagos Island.

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.

bros, i tire oh!! How these ppl who apparently claim to own virtually half of k'ootuojiire land haven't claim the whole ibo land beats me.can you imagine a publication i read saying the name alagba is actually 'alu agbaa'(a kind of deity priest) who hails from bini!!haba!,from an ilesha ifa priest to an edo priest?!alagba, a yoruba man through and through, the father of ologun kutere, the third eleko and progenitor of all future lagos island monarch and they are still telling us binis own lagos.two quick question,when the first edo prince was installed as king,who were the subjects?binis?and two what brought about the saying in lagos islamd that 'eleko ko ni ile' ( 'the owner of lagos owns no land' ) ?all these lies and polemics cos God gave a part of yoruba land preeminence over any of their land,envy is driving countless phd holders in yoruba history on here on nairaland and other social media forum who are foreigners to tell us our history.only in yorubaland,hmmn,keep talking.by the way, how's that semitic DNA report thing panning out?and to our own king ekaladerhan bretheren,the ijaw 'stramgers' only wants a king from among their people to rule them and the millitary, i read are being called in.What? are they claiming the land?Now i keep trying to recall where strangers claim the land as theirs from 'eko' to 'ajah' cos their prince were the first three 'known' kings.pls 'accomodate' the ijaw usurpers, yorubas have been doing thls for almost five centuries in lagos............
