"Eko" back in the day only referred to Lagos island and co. Current Lagos is a merger of different towns and cities. Ikeja, Agege, otta, Ojo, mushin etc were all towns with their own kings. The British merged this town together and created the Lagos colony which comprised settlemets of Awori, Egba, Ijebu, Remo, and Anago Yoruba groups. Akiolu's domain is only Isale Eko which is like 1% of Lagos, so he has no authority to speak for Lagos. In fact half of Lagos state is occupied by Ijebu/remo people and a lot of the culture that has given Lagos its identity comes from them. All of this is just nonsense, just because of some Benin folktale. Anyways, there are more than 50 Yoruba kings in Lagos all in charge of their own domain of Lagos. 3 Likes |

YonkijiSappo: Na that fear make dia baale of bini to agitate to leave Western region back then as e don already see the handwriting on the wall say im people and culture were endangered species in the face of the ever menacing Yoruba culture. Even today sef, their fortunes continue to dwindle culturally as they're surrounded on both their Western (Yoruba) and Eastern (Yigbo) frontiers by more domineering cultures that are still threatening to render them culturally extinct in no more than 2-generations from now. 7 Likes |

YonkijiSappo:Do you realise that the name Eko was given by the first Oba of Lagos, being the son of the Benin king at that time. why is Lagos different in Name when compared to other Yoruba states? I mean Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Oyo are all yoruba names BUT Eko or Lagos are not Yoruba names? This thing you wrote here can not even be found on Wikipedia which clearly stated that the Aworis/Benin where the first occupant and the Awories allowed the first Oba to rule. The first Oba was the son of the Benin king at that time. That settles it. |
