Since I was a Child I knew Eko was named after Ereko Market on Lagos Island by the Yoruba

Ereko Was Oba Kosoko’s Quarters where he Sold Slaves and European goods

There are Eko Ajala and Eko Ende in Osun State

This is the Historical Document from the 1840s Confirming it

Interpretation of the Osifekunde Slave narrative from 18th Century , Below it is the Map of Lagos at Independence you will see that at least 97% of Lagos is inside Awolowo’s Western Region , Lagos is on Lagos Island

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the yebous have seized that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

UGBE634:
Kurame was a strong bastardization of the word Ekonunuame by the Portuguese who couldn't pronounce it properly

Christistruth00:


Lagos Island Belonged to the Yoruba Awori Chief Aromire

Korame that Benin called Lagos could be short for Eko Aromire in Yoruba this means Aromire Field Just like Eko Ajala in Osun State means Ajala’s Field

UGBE634:
What I would think it would be was Ekonunuame-meaning war camp, or soldiers camp, there is no where Eko is used in Edo history as a settlement that that camp is not related to war or soldiers. we have history of soldiers in Lagos. The word Ekonunuame strongly means the camp beside water. Lagos as we had affiliation with her is the only place that is known as Ekonunuame in Edo lexicon. The use of the word predated my existence, Predated my father's existence. when an Edo man is speaking Edo if he is referring to Lagos he would say Ekonunuame- it is an ancient word and it has been in existence from time and has it own very pristine meaning in Edo in reference to lagos

Eko is short for Yoruba Word Ereko which means field

Ereko Market is still there on the Island

According to the Osifekunde 18th Century Slave Narratives Ijebu Yoruba called Lagos Eko and Benin called it Kuramo, it also described how the Ijebu seized land from Benin and left only an Isolated part of the Lagoon (Isale Eko ) in Benin hands

Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the 1878 Jalumi War, there is also Eko Ajala in Osun State


Interpretation of the Osifekunde narrative from 18th Century

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the yebous have seized that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

Stop sounding like a lunatic. If your claim is true. Why is it that no Edo/benin man is a king in Lagos. Why no Benin speakers in lagos. Why why why. Answer me and stop sounding like a disturbed baby

Gambit23:


Oba Akiolu in Lagos has said he is from benin.

distributeinc:

Your Biafran forces were rag tag, they were fighting a war of attrition. Nigeria armed forces is in charge of all security in Nigeria, so no fight between ibo and Edo...tribes with military prowess did their thing when it was free for all, Ibos had no military power. We heard of Benin Empire warriors, Ashante warriors, fulani jihadists conquest etc, I never heard of any prehistoric ibo army before the amalgamation that did conquests. You jungle animals were still hiding in your caves, when we were colonizing other tribes, towns and nations...Shut the fck up, and stop making wishes. Talk reality, you guys never attacked or conquered any tribe in history cos you were weak. Historically strong tribes colonize weak tribes. Once a slave, always a slave.

Nisiw365:

Hahaha. Stop lying dude. He has already called the news fake. His akiolu a Benin name?
Even without akiolu telling you, you should know that he is,a Yoruba man

Gambit23:


Stop deceiving urself, He has clearly said he is of bini ancestry and openly demeaned the Ooni of Ife, stop forcing other people to become Yoruba

Eko is short for Ereko which means Field in Yoruba

The Ancient. Ereko Market Lagos was named Eko after is still on Lagos Island today

Meninmen:


And you don't realise this is the reason Biafra can never be actualised. How many Igbo men became millionaires and billionaires by just having businesses in igboland? Nigeria made so many Igbo men millionaires and billionaires and these people do not support Biafra because of what they will lose. Go and tell Igbo men with businesses in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Edo, Ogun, Delta, Katsina, etc what they think of Biafra!

Look at how the yorubas have rallied round Sunday Ighoho even up to the Ooni of ife forming a committee to help him. What has igbo leaders done for Nnamdi Kanu? They are all distancing from him. This is how your people want to achieve Biafra? Lol. Clowns!

Your people are the most greedy tribe in Nigeria. They will do anything for money. It is for this reason Biafra can never come to pass.

Continue dreaming of Biafra. It's your dream. However, it doesn't change the fact that the igbos were conquered by the Nigeria military comprising of Northern/Western/Mid-western military officers and the igbos remain a conquered tribe in Nigeria. You can't change this!

BabaIbo:


You're d*ft.

Igbo is different from IPOB.

The war is a no winner no vanquish war.

Imagine the kind of empty brain I have been discussing with all these time.

Don't worry, when it happens your eyes will clear.

Nisiw365:

Lunatic shut up. He said it himself that,its,fake news. What's,akiolu meaning in Benin?
If akioku claims Benin, he would be removed because he is Yoruba
Yoruba's aren't daft like you benins

Did you see any benin name in the names below? Did you lunatic

UGBE634:
Is that a point at all? The one you claimed migrated from Ife in Benin. Can you interpret his name today? would he be there all this while surrounded by yorubas and not be acculturated? is this the best you can come up with? are you this shallow and myopic in thought?

Nisiw365:

Shut up Edo miscreant. Oranmiyan migrated from ife to Benin and named it ile ibinu

UGBE634:
If it was Oronmiyan it would be IBINU CITY. I think I go with the Itsekiri Ubini

Nisiw365:

Itsekiris are what?

UGBE634:
Is Oronmiyan from itsekiri Ode. Are you so daft to know that the Ubini narrative is different from Ibinu

Nisiw365:

Shut up Arindin ode. Itsekiris migrated from ile Ife. Oranmiyan named Benin ile ibinu

UGBE634:
Not everyone migrated from Ile ife, as much as there are yorubas who migrated from Ile ife, there are also a huge chunk that migrated from Benin this the ultimate reality

Nisiw365:

You are just mumu like typical Benin. They migrated from Benin and yet they don't speak Benin language. You are really slow

UGBE634:
If you add all the little little bit each Yoruba group in the Eastern area received and the ones Eko and Itsekiri received, it would make up a huge chunk. take a tour to eastern Yoruba land, itsekiri and Lagos to see. There are full families who owe their origin to Benin living life as yorubas today.

Nisiw365:

Shut up and stop saying nonsense you lunatic.
Edo's migrated from ile ife not the other way round. Itsekiris speak 100% yoruboid language with no trace of Benin language.

There's no family in itsekiri that speaks or come from Benin
You are even talking of Lagos like its name of a tribe. Lagos is just a place, names of subtribes there are ijebu, awori and egun and they are all yorubas. Onikoyis migrated from oyo.

If you go to Oyo state today, you will see onikoyi land and their family

So tell me which tribe in Lagos comes from benin
