The Yoruba Oba of Benin considers all his Edo subjects to be his slaves.

So, you must always salute him even on Nairaland to prove your allegiance to his right of royal abuse over you.

Oh okay, now you've agreed that Lagos is more developed than your Benin of stench and blood.

The Aworis singlehandedly developed Lagos since time immemorial (before Europeans and before Nigeria) to have green pastures seeker flocking in from everywhere -- even from as far away as outside of today's Nigeria.

Having said that, thick-skulled Binis can hardly differentiate between making an empty dead claim and proving such claim.

The undeniable substantiable historical fact, however, is of Ife's ascendancy over your 2by2 kingdom.

Lilliput, nobody cares about yoruba or awori roots (just as British colonial masters didn't care about African roots when conquering). We conquered and colonized all of your ancestors for over 500 years.. That is what matters..

If Oba of Benin visits Lagos, I bet the Oba of Lagos will give his throne to the Oba of Benin to sit on out of respect.. But if your Ooni visits he will be given a joko to simbe on... lol..

I'm not sure where he got the picture from. I'm only use his own picture to drive home my own point.

My mother is an Ife princess whose ancestry traces directly; through Ife princes, princeses, and kings; back to Ooni Lajamisan.

She travels home to her Akodi in Ife at some intervals for periodic meetings especially at the outset of the ascension of Ooni Ogunwusi.

Moreover, I am myself of Awori descent paternally -- so it goes back through Olofin Ogunfunminire of Lagos back to Ife again.

Genealogy is a very complex web anyways. It goes all over the place. I am, however, proud to have sufficient awareness of the many Yoruba Kingdoms that I am connected with.


What about you? Are you Yoruba?

@TAO12... Ahaa! grin My gut feeling and Sherlock Holmes instincts are right about your aristocratic lineages to Ife and Iddo/Lagos Islands via Ota/Isheri. Awesome stuff! Yup... I've got roots in the West side too. Did you know that 'Olu317' on NL is also from a royal line in Ife? You may both wish to link up on NL. I will ask you 2 quick questions here about the full etymology of Eko (pepper farm?... the war camp Wikipedia definition is far-fetched), and 2nd, if Iruland (i.e, Victoria Island) is owned by the Awori-Yoruba or is it the Ijebu-Yoruba of Lagos State. Last but not least, thanks again for your brilliant reply.

Yeah, I believe so about Olu. But that bro is a die- hard Hebrew wanna-be for interesting reasons.

The name "Eko" seem to me to be a phono-semantic matching of Yoruba and Edo from the earlier original Yoruba name of the "Lagos" settlement, "Oko".

Talking about ownership, as far as the historical evidence is concerned, the "Lagos" region was first settled by the Aworis.

No doubt some Binis, Ijebus, and others who later came to be attracted there for trade purposes, did become absorbed.

Why do you always like to paint history with deceptive colours?
The Aworis were settled only on one of the islands that makes up present day Lagos.. Vast parts of present Lagos Islands were unhabited, owned by nobody. The Edo warriors came, subdued the Aworis on their island and established military garrisons on the other unhabited Islands. These military posts also served as camps for many Edo traders. These camps grew into settlements which absorbed the other original Awori settlement.

Other Yoruba tribes like the Ijebus began to migrate to Lagos after it was a thriving town thanks to Benin Kingdom which was already ruling Lagos.
The yoruba tribes migration to Lagos was mainly due to the wars and conflicts plaging Yorubalands.. Lagos serves as a place of refuge for the migrants many of whom settled on Lagos mainland and under the protaction of Benin Kingdom.

You are beginning to sound deranged as usual. grin

Aworis settled all across Lagos. Iddo, Isheri, Iru, Ibeju, parts of Epe, Ketu, Ikeja, Ipakodo in Ikorodu, among many other places along Lagos coast and inland.

But a certain Tao is saying it was a corrupted word lmao ...

The Bini were obviously attracted there and we came, we saw and we conquered ur fathers ...

less than 400 yrs later...A certain Yoruba gal that seems aggrieved for her forefathers loss is trying to rewrite history through Nairaland looool

By the way... According to Williams Lizzie (2008). Nigeria: The Bradt Travel Guide . Bradt Travel Guides. p. 110...In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called "Eko" under Oba Orhogbua, the Oba of Benin at the time

Also Smith, Robert Sydney (1988). Kingdoms of the Yoruba (3 ed.). University of Wisconsin Press . p. 73. also confirms this...

The name Eko shows Bini origins but a certain emotional Nairaland claims that the name was a corrupted word...

(1) Yes! At least more developed than the Edos who were still roaming stark n@ked without shame in as recent as the early-1900s.

Refer to the 1st attachment from page 24 of H.L. Roth(1903).

(2) I mean, there are many things you don't know, but an interesting one which I would love to highlight for you is the following from page 103 of H.L Roth(1903):

"Lieut. King found that “the king can sell his subjects when convicted of crime, or when they have incurred his displeasure." The royal right of abuse seems to have survived to the last days, for Gallwey (p. 129) mentions that “the Benin people are free, but are treated as slaves by the king, the title of king's slave being considered an honour." We have seen above that for different reasons the king claimed male children, widows and slaves belonging to deceased subjects; he could hardly get much more, so that the mass of the people were practically slaves to the king, and those who were not to the king were so to their chiefs."

Please note that the Yoruba King of Benin wouldn't have considered you Edos as slaves if he was truly an Edo like you all. grin

Moreover, he has the right of royal abuse to sacrifice any of you his slaves to Yoruba gods of Benin as is seen in the 2nd attachment. cheesy

(2) Everything about you Edos seem to be about se.x.

But I understand why. Many, many centuries of shameless dick and boobs swinging by men and women in the Edo country is sufficient enough to alter your brains' configurations.

(3) This is only one of my four Nairaland accounts (and they are all well know to belong to me).

I am just putting this out there in case you're really bent on delivering your Benin Kingdom from my grip of historical scrutiny.

(4) I am obsessed with disgracing liars --no matter who they are. No wonder you said I'm obsessed about you.

(5) First, you need to make up your mind on whether or not Benin Kingdom was truly ruled by two different kings at the same time -- the so-called "Oba Erhengbuda" and the so-called "Oba Orghogbua".

The inherent contradiction in your account contributes to the evidence of glaring fabrication of your false and distorted Benin narrative of conquest.

But a certain Tao is saying it was a corrupted word lmao ...

(2) The Bini were obviously attracted there and we came, we saw and we conquered ur fathers ...

less than 400 yrs later...A certain Yoruba gal that seems aggrieved for her forefathers loss is trying to rewrite history through Nairaland looool

(3) By the way... According to Williams Lizzie (2008). Nigeria: The Bradt Travel Guide . Bradt Travel Guides. p. 110...In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called "Eko" under Oba Orhogbua, the Oba of Benin at the time

(4) Also Smith, Robert Sydney (1988). Kingdoms of the Yoruba (3 ed.). University of Wisconsin Press . p. 73. also confirms this...

(5) The name Eko shows Bini origins but a certain emotional Nairaland claims that the name was a corrupted word...

Nor cry u hear...God wee do it for u cheesy grin

(1) You and which historian found this? Please give us your colleagues names with quotation.

When I typed the words "phono-semantic matching", I actually suspected that it will prove difficult for you to grapple with, and you didn't disappoint. A smart person would have read up.

(2) The only conquering in "history" is that in which the Edos were subjugated to slaves, by the Ife royalty, till date.

Anyways, refer to my comment found at the link below:

Also refer to my point (2a) at my comment found at the link below:

(3) By the way you didn't get those from the author you've falsely atttibuted them to, rather you lifted that off from WiKiPedIa word-for-word.

You just exposed yourself to be a gutter junk Bini illiterate considering your Wikipedia-level crude argumentation. grin

Anyways, do some reading and return here to inform us about the actual content of your author, Williams Lizzie.

(4) Also, feel free to type out what Robert Smith said in his "Kingdoms of the Yoruba". I look forward to seeing that. Hopefully this time you will quote the author himself.

(5) Yes, all Edo Lagosian wannabe say this, but unfortunately for you, the name Eko does NOT show Benin origin as you hope.

And sadly for you, I am a Lagosian, while you are a Lagosian wanna-be. I'm already living your dream. Set awon land grabbers.
