I have just watched Oba of Lagos interview on YouTube where he declared that Lagos does not belong to Benin. Please watch from minute 5.40 in the video. The fact that he is being referred to as Kabiyesi also proves he is a Yoruba Monarch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOsp9VLRFno In the first minute of the interview below,the interviewer said that Lagos was first settled by the Awori a sub group of the Yoruba and the Oba of Lagos did not disagree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i83Sa-HptDQ In 1903 the British colonial Governor of Lagos (Sir William Macgregor) requested the Ooni travel to Lagos and rule among the Lagos Chiefs who was entitled to wear a beaded crown in Yorubaland.

Why did you live out the fact that the Oba recognizes that the royal court and all noblemen of lagos and all lagosians who know their tradition pay tribute to the Oba of Benin: 5:28. why are you guys so dishonnest ? Even your onni keeps telling a lot of lies. And look it is impossible for the Oba or anybody for that matter to know who were the first settlers of Lagos, to get that info you would need to invent a time machine since nobody left documents written on this subject in that period of time. You guys are dishonnest and illogical. The Oba and the precolonial maps and the british recognize that Lagos was part of the Benin empire, you guys are the only ones who keep denying this.

history2901: Did you know the Oba was referring to Isale Eko Chief's and not all Lagos Chiefs in 5.28? That was why he said at Enu Owa. Do you know that Victoria Island ,Ikoyi and the Lagos mainland are outside his Jurisdiction ? The British royal family are of German origin .does that mean England belongs to Germany? Was the first Oba of Benin not Oranmiyan of Ile ife? By the way since the time of Ologun kutere son of princess Erelu kuti in 1780 all Oba of Lagos trace their paternal ancestry to Ilesa in Osun state. Did you notice that the interviewer refers to him as Kabiyesi? "Irrespective of dialect divide, Yoruba salute their oba "kabiyesi" meaning that his authority is not subject to question from anyone as all powers belong to him. The Christians in Yoruba land see Jesus as Oba; " Yoruba Creativity: Fiction, Language, Life and Songs edited by Toyin Falola, Ann Genova. Page 299 Did Ogedengbe the generalissimo of Ilesa and Ekiti parapo forces not invade Edo territory in 1878 and was about to overrun and take Benin city if not for the desperate attempts of the Oba of Benin in pacifying him? Do you know many Edo"s still bear the Yoruba surname Ogedengbe today? Please find out the truth. 3 Likes |

Christistruth00: 1) You don't seem to understand what I say. I said "Lagos was part of the Benin empire". I don't care where the royal familly of lagos comes from, and as you pointed out , that is irrelevent. 2) This is one of the reasons I hate talking history with nigerians: you guys confuse actual history with fairytales and legends. Look Oranmiyan is a legend !!!!!!!! There is no record about him, would you guys just stop bringing illogical arguments into debates ? Even the Benin Legend (of which you guys like to agree with only the half which pleases you) says that Izoduwa, the father of Oranmiyan is the son of an Ogiso. 3) Also to the best of my knowledge, on the video which you posted, the Oba of Lagos points out to the fact that the entire royal class of Lagos sings tribute to the Oba of Benin. 4) Let it be, you guys can not keep fighting against the truth. |

history2901: saalary ko, salari ni. If you rely on European maps to tell your people's history, then you are in no position to speak for Yoruba's history or parts of Yorubaland that fought Benin since you unable to tell me upfront. Don't you have oral stories that talk about Benin wars in Yorubaland? I know of towns and Yoruba groups that faced constant threat from Benin invaders. See...I know because of historical accounts that Yoruba people have kept of the Benin forces centuries ago without the need to use Eurocentric maps. 4 Likes |

No, look I only ran out of patience (besides I am not in a very good physical condition right now). I like opponents who prove me wrong, no problem with that What I hate however is when I provide proof and employ only logics, and yet the opponent keeps bringing out gibberish to rubbish my work. At a certain point you have to recognize an opponent who is not ready to face the truth and will always claim his original claim no matter how many proves you give him. When the person you are debating is not reasonable, you have to cut your loses and move on with your life. 9jakool: 1 Like |

history2901: I asked a simple question of a list of Benin's territories in Yorubaland because I thought you were an expert on Benin's history, you instead gave me a Dutch explorer map depicting the location of Benin as if I don't know where Benin is located. The non-detailed map failed to show Yoruba groups that were under Benin, which was my question in the first place. I asked the same question again, you asked for a salary for you to decipher the map. I then asked you if you have any oral accounts from your people that talks about the Benin expansion into Yorubaland, you then proceeded to call me stupid. I never desire "proof." I know what parts of Yoruba land were under Benin's influence, I'm not insecure to admit that for a fact. I only directed the same question to you for confirmation. If you are not in a physical condition right now, then I respect that and we can continue our conversation some other time. 4 Likes |

Could you please tell me the source of the book "in which british library is it" and also I would like to have all inforation on that book from the british library which is hosting it. And since the alleged author of the book keeps talking about the past (things which allegedly happened at least 60 years before he allegedly wrote the book), I would like to see historical documents proving those things. You should take a look at the more than 400 year old map which I provided and comment over it. Christistruth00: 1 Like |

Guys, we will talk later. I have many other precolonial maps showing the vastness of the Benin empire. Right now I have to go and rest. Have a nice weekend. Also don't expect me to give you a list of yoruba towns and villages, you know some of those towns and villages might not have existed 200 years ago. So let us keep it logical. All I can do is provide pre-colonial maps. Which show the Benin empire (the europeans refered to it as Benin Kingdom or just Benin, and they referred to its capital as Benin city which is the Benin city of today.).Take care. 1 Like |
