So who owned Lagos? Binis or Yorubas?

BakireBulmaker:



Your Edo rants begin and end on NL.

The few Lagosians with Edo ancestry can never rewrite the history of Lagos.

They are clowns like you. Only on NL will you hear them. Nobody takes them serious.

Hahahaha

ivolt:
The same way UK owns Nigeria because we were at a point paying them royalties(resources)
and China also owns Korea because Korea was at a point paying them royalties.
SMH at these illiterate chiefs.

Most people who claim Lagos is theirs today are immigrants. Many of the governors that have ruled Lagos are from neighboring Yoruba states... Tinubu is not a Lagos Aborigine

codemaniacs:


unless you're bini... the way you're contradicting yourself again...

you said "The Oyo Yoruba and bini conquered territories"

then said "This is because the monarchs have the same origin. They hardly fight each other"..

how can the binis conquer yoruba territories and the yorubas won't react... the yorubas allowed binis stay in Yoruba land for a reason maybe they were training the binis...

Blackfyre:
But i thought the Idejos own the lands in Lagos?

Plus when the Onirus were paid about 300 thousand pounds by the state government decades back, why wasn't that amount paid to the Bini/Lagos Royal family? Or are the Onirus Bini?

Smh. Awori(represented by the Idejo) never paid royalties. The bini descedants in Lagos did. Shes confusing her clan of people with all Awori. Admittedly bini descendants(which she is) are integrated into the Awori group but they still organised themselves differently. Awori land starts from Ado-odo in Ogun state till Lagos town(Lagos island)
The Ado-odo group is one, Ota group(or what remains of the Awori in Ota) is one, Iseri and Ikeja areas are another, the mainland and island Awori are another then the assimilated bini descendants in the island are another.
Let's stop using sentiments to discuss history in this country

macof:
Fashola is Awori from Lagos island
Ambode is Ijebu from Epe

Let a bini man from Edo state come and be governor shebi Tinubu came from Osun state to be governor of Lagos

Pigsandidiots:
Royalty ko, rayalro ni. Bini, own Lagos, Bini own oyo, bini own ondo, bini own onitsa. Where did they now come from. They leave town like ore n owo but go to own Lagos that has no boundary with them. This is laughable. Aunty erelu, why didn't you bring out fact for your claim.

My brother its difficult for me to even reply the woman. There so many lies in her attempt to rewrite history. The Aworis have been in Lagos area before any other group of people including ijebu, bini, ondo etc came to Lagos.The woman said Lagos was an extension of Bini Kingdom ( another big lie). So if this was true, then the ijebus, ondos, ilaje and other group along the way to Lagos from bini were at one time under bini empire too, but this never happened (no historical data to supprt this). Oyo empire controlled most present Yoruba land even up to Dahomey in present day republic of Benin. The dahomey king was even paying tax to Oyo empire at one time (historical fact).

Another lie that is common is that Lagos was a military camp for bini empire ( ). But the question is military camp for which war? war with Oyo empire or with who? The true is that bini kingdom never had military capability for such expedition.The books are there for people to read but they wont my brother.

codemaniacs:


you're contradicting yourself..

you said "if bini don't own ikale and ilaje lands which is more closer to bini geographically."

then said "The only place the bini conquered in Lagos is the island which was reversed after the Europeans landed on shores of Lagos."

for the binis to conquer the island they had to pass through dozens of yoruba villages, if they eventually reached the island they have to face attacks from yorubas in present day Benin republic which would have been too much for them to handle..

the europeans never landed on the shores of lagos peacefully they fought the yorubas until there was an agreement to build a school there and other yoruba villages still opposed the europeans.... go and read about tinubu's grandmother...

This woman is desperately trying to rewrite history. The fact of the matter is that Bini’s Came and settled in Lagos Island. Not the whole of Lagos. Even the so called titled chiefs bought land from the Locals, Awori’s and Ijebus. Some of these families are still royalties on their lands all over Lagos. Even Lagos Island was not uninhabited. But the people welcomed or were subjugated by the binis that came with military might. They were mostly fishermen and farmers. She’s just a liar. If she was telling the truth, all those royal families in Lagos will be of Bini heritage. Which does not even exist. Only about 5% are of Bini heritage. The only people that paid royalty to Bini kingdom is the Oba of Lagos Island, and that stopped when they refused to continue sending money home. I can show you evidence of how some Bini families paid for their land actually.

GIBBERISH, AS USUAL.

BakireBulmaker:


Don't mind the mofos.

Go to the heart of Benin including the palace and see pure Yoruba imprints everywhere.

Bunch of clowns.

delpee:
How come the Idejos who are Aworis own the land irrespective of the Oba? The Obas territory in reality is just the "eko camp" (Lagos Island) or more appropriately Isale Eko. The Oniru for instance seems to own and oversee land (outside government acquisition) from VI towards Lekki.

Theres a story about how the Aworis migrated from Ile Ife to Lagos. Erelu is not telling the truth. Probably she's trying to safeguard the interests of the descendants of King Ado.

Are you minding her? The woman doesn’t even have a straight story. What a fantasy. She doesn’t want her family to be seen as interlopers. I think the Obaship of Lagos Island might be threatened in some way. So they are planting useless stories everywhere. Eyo is from Ijebus. I am Awori from Lagos Island and I have no Bini male ancestor.

Adefemiaderoju1:

What the clown dont know is we made bini the first oba in bini oranyan is Yoruba

jchioma:


Learn to read and comprehend, Bini kingdom is landlocked and Lagos was their route to intl business, seaport and outpost, and they claimed it, long before the Aworis. Yes, they collected royalties from the Afonjas and other migrants. Chew it.

codemaniacs:


those are the names of villages... People identify with their villages on a local level but on the national level they were and are still known as Yorubas...

Yoruba means Joy of Kings/Queens..

if you change to it to its first meaning Iyaruba means mother of kings/queens/gods/goddesses..

Yoruba has never been a "later day political creation"... It is a way of life, a nation and the identity of the first Intellectuals....

the mother is of the black race...

You have no idea how bad the Yorubas have fallen...

"Rivers State was made to be at loggerheads with hinterland Igbos" because the igbos allowed it, the Igbos fought a civil war when they had everything they needed right there in their land...

the igbo elders lacked fore-sight and didn't see that they were been played into losing their resources which also led to the entire southern Nigeria loosing its resources, Ojukwu and his gang of southerners lacked were complicit in destabilizing southern Nigeria..

Lagos is NOT a coastal multi-ethnic State, It is the property of the YORUBA nation..
