When they refer to him, do they call him Oba of Lagoss Island or Oba of Lagos? Simple question.
How many times do you want me to explain to you, Isale Eko is the Original Lagos the Portuguese named "Lagos". After Amalgamation, other parts of the Western region(Ikorodu,Epe,Ipaja,etc) was included to Lagos(eko) to form Lagos State. The other parts they included have their own Obas. But because that Area Akiolu controls is the Original place called Lagos that is why the name is still retained as Oba of Lagos. If you are familiar with Lagos, if someone from Ikeja is going to Idumota,Marina,Isale eko area he/she will tell you I am going to Lagos, is Ikeja not Lagos state? But that Area is the Original Lagos.

You made no point in this your rant
Calm your tits, for ur info I'm an Ijaw, and as long Lagos keeps benefiting from Niger delta Oil and one Nigeria, it will never be Yoruba land.
We all know people like you were born daft, and your comment just proved it. So Ondo state which is part of Yoruba land does not produce oil, right? Even though it is the 4th largest oil producing state in this nation? And just recently, it was reported that oil was drilled off the coast of Lagos. So your Ijaw claims do not hold water anymore. Educate yourself.

From the history Lagos cannot be said to be a Yoruba land rather some part of it is a yoruba land, [/b]that is why Oba of Lagos said lagos is not a yoruba land. [b],Anybody saying that the entire lagos is a yoruba land is just dumb.
No, Lagos is Ibibio land and Wawa land. Don't you know? The way you people reason is so pathetic.

So you dont know Eko is a bini word? Here is Lagos state governement portal accepting that the word "Eko" is a Bini word.

Oga if you dont know anything abeg dont mention me again abeg.

https://lagosstate.gov.ng/about-lagos/

Show me where it was stated that it's a Bini word.. You've really got comprehension issue. Lol.

That the people rallied for a Bini prince to help them fight against the neighbouring empire suddenly make the people Bini? Let me ask, did your ancestor eventually become a british because a British happened to rule them? Eko is a Yoruba word named by the People Oba Ado ruled in that era. They simply called for his help to help them fight against the empire warring against them and accepted him as their King. That had nothing to do with the whole of Bini folks when it was only one Bini man that came to rule Lagos island.

How come Ondo, Ogun folks that were closer to Bini are Yoruba? Lol. For your propaganda to have a basis, Ogun and Ondo would have to ceased to be Yoruba but Bini, or else, your propaganda is simply stupidity at its peak.

Moreover, only Lagos Island had a Bini King ruling over the Yorubas in that era and as you already know, a town doesn't make a whole region. Besides, Oba Ado's ancestral tree has already become Yoruba the moment his princess daughter married a Yoruba man who ascended the throne after his demise. Anyway, the point is if you and your ancestors never became a British because a British once ruled Nigeria, there's no way the people Oba Ado happened to rule in that era became Bini, just because Oba Ado was a Bini man!

You talked so confidently on what you don't know


Learn he is not the Oba of the whole Lagos state, before Eko bridge was built, Cater Bridge was built how did he rule over people on the other side of the Lagoon?, I mean people on the mainland. Though he is the Chairman Council of Obas in Lagos State just like the Alaafin is the Chairman of the council of Obas in Oyo state but he doesn't control Ibadan, Ibadan is under the Olubadan of Ibadan.

You are right they don't even know Ondo and Ekiti were under the Benin Empire Pre-Colonial time, Oyo was under Alaafin towards Ilorin, only Ijebu was not conquered and was still under Awujale, Even the Romans once ruled over the British, they even gave them the name Britannia(Britain) does that make British Romans? Even Onitsha their first king was a Benin Prince does that make Onitsha for the Benin people. They don't know that's how Empire rule in those days.

I asked a siimple question....Why is Oba Akiolu addressed as the Oba of Lagos? Why not Oba of Lagos Island? The media and everyone calls him Oba of Lagos, even the Ooni of ife refers to him as oba of Lagos not Oba of Lagos Island. Why is that so?

You are the one who has comprehension issues if you dont know the meaning of "Benin war-camp called “Eko” under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time" and concluded that yorubas continue to use the word "eko" which was called under Oba Orhogba to refer to lagos.

Like i said, dont quote me again if you dont know anything.

I can now concluded you don't read how many times do you want me to explain to you, the name cannot be Changed because that place he controls is the Original Lagos, that the Portuguese named Lagos. The entire State was named after that place, just like the entire Oyo state is named after Oyo town but there are other places that the Alaafin of Oyo doesn't control like Ibadan is under Olubadan of Ibadan.

PointB:



Yorubas in Lagos should go and conduct business with rest of the world in Yoruba, that is their business. Such retrogressive move for those who consider themselves progressive. A million sigidis erected in Lagos will not take Lagos back to the dark ages. Lagos is open for business; and we are here for business, you can continue with your sigidi business like Rochas is currently doing in Imo. Looks like APC is now synonymous with erections of statues. It must be paucity of developmental idea that triggers this missteps to the past. Or is it because of the ancestor we have a president?

By the way, I offer Yoruba classes for those who intend to descend to the abyss for tactical or strategic reason.
