Question To The Igbos That Shout Lagos Belongs To Benin. by Michael004: 12:55pm On Aug 09, 2017
Please I want to ask simple questions from the igbos here that always shout Lagos is no man's land today, the next day, they say it belongs to Benin. Which one do you belong to? If it belongs to Benin people as you normally sing, can you answer these two questions below..
1. Do benin people jumped over two states of ondo and ogun to establish Lagos and allow two Yoruba states inbetween them?
2. Can any of you name one boundary that Lagos has with Benin or even the entire Edo as a whole.
If edo people are claiming ondo state, it would be understandable as they have boundary with each other.
Please I need intelligent answers to those questions from our Lagos is Benin land crooners here.

Lala, do the needful.

This post is out of joblessness or '' I must post on nairaland by all means'' syndrome. Let me educate u a little. Do u know how many countries that dont even share boundaries with Great Britain that the british monarch is queen over? Australia and New Zealand are examples. Do you know that some parts of the united states once belong to spain despite the fact that spain has no boundary with the united states? Don't delve into issues you have little or no knowledge about. Try and also get something doing. An idle mind is the devil's workshop.

Then you need to read this to clear yourself of ignorance.
Early History
Before the Portuguese name of Lagos had been adopted, Lagos' initial name was Eko which referred mainly to the Island. The first to settle in Eko were the Aworis.[8] The Awori hunters and fishermen had originally come from Ile-Ife to the coast. [5] The name Eko comes either from the Yoruba "Oko" (cassava farm) or "Eko" (war camp). Over 650 years ago, the Oba of Bini sent warriors to Eko who were received in a welcoming manner by the residing Awori fishermen. The Bini Prince, Ado, who led the war party, was asked to become their leader. From that point on, Eko belong yoruba. [9]
Postcolonial Era
Lagos State was created on 27 May 1967 according to the State Creation and Transitional Provisions Decree No. 14 of 1967 , which restructured Nigeria into a Federation of 12 states. [10] Before the issuance of this Decree,
Lagos city , which was the country's capital had been administered directly by the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Lagos Affairs .[10] However, Ikeja , Agege,
Mushin , Ikorodu , Epe and Badagry were administered by the then Western Region Government. [10] Lagos, the city, along with these other towns were captured to create the state of Lagos, with the State becoming fully recognized as a semi-autonomous administrative division on 11 April 1968. [10] Lagos served the dual role of being the State and Federal Capital until 1976, when the capital of the State was moved to Ikeja .[10] After the full establishment of the Federal Capital Territory , the seat of the Federal Government was also formally relocated to Abuja on 12 December 1991. Nevertheless, Lagos still remains the financial centre of the country, and also grew to become the most populous city in the state and the country.
You are even saying it is 'possible, which simply means you don't know what you have been singing about but keep shouting about Lagos because your fellow ignorant people are shouting it.

Bini empire own and established Eko which is renamed lagos by the colonial master after capturing Eko from Binis. Oba of lagos said the same. Awori settle first and also Egun from Benin repulic and Ijaws on the island waters,the Binis came and conquered and rule over Eko till the coming of white colonial masters.

Point of correction, binis did not conquered, open your eyes and brain when reading. The aworis told the son to be their leader. Not conquered. Maybe you need to bring where you read where there is any fight that made binis to conquered the aworis, then I will take you serious, but don't deviate from the questions.

your analogy is totally wrong, anyway, you made use of the word 'possibility'.
The bini's and the Yorubas are very related to each other, even the language we speak are a bit intertwined, for example we have osas which is a Benin name for GOD and osha which is also a Yoruba name for God; their kings are called OBA's, ours are also called OBA's. Just because they named Lagos Eko doesn't translate to owning it. The Yorubas allowed the name to prevail by accepting it, truth is, bini's don't say they own Lagos, only jobless, childish and uninformed Igbos who are bent on dividing people where there is no divide.

Lastly, if Benin people claim Yorubas are borne out of their tribe how come they don't occupy as much land(sqm)as the Yorubas ?

All I know is that one came out of the other and if that be the case benins and the Yorubas are like brothers and sisters irrespective of who came out of the other.
