Apart from Lagos Ondo Ijebu Coastline even Seme and Porto Novo Coast in Benin Republic are Yorubaland

God Almighty went Overtime and Overboard in blessing Yorubaland

We must Thank and Bless him for all his Mercy which we don't even deserve



Ps : You do know the Itsekiri in Delta State are Yorubas too don't you ?

On the day God Almighty was sharing out the Sea Coasts, he used his long Tape Rule when it was the turn of the Yorubas
God was in such a Generously magnanimous mood on that day
We must just Bless and Thank him

See how you're lying. When did Badagry become Yorubaland that you're even claiming Seme. Don't worry, the Aworis and the Ogu of Badagry have all become Yoruba because you want to claim coast. Keep attaching by force cool I'm sure you're also claiming Ijaw land in Ondo as Yorubaland. You can only deceive the uninformed.

Badagry do not even speak Yoruba
The native language of Badagry is Ogu,a dialect of Aja and similar to the Fon language

Who do you think you are ?


Lagos is Aworiland

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland

The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally



On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area including Seme Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War .

The Oyos had initially also taken Allada ,Ouidah and Cotonou at the time but the King of Dahomey had managed to take them back while the Oyo were very busy fighting the Power drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin

The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns
aare oona kakanfo oyabi had led the Oyo Army

The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland including Iddo Island and all the Territory from there to Abeokuta Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.

The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan

The Ijebu Army Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki including Victoria Island

All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was Awori Yoruba with Oyo roots

Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,

Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were also fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos

Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade

The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans


Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today

Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878

The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period

The Land on Which Isale Eko of the Oba of Lagos is located belongs to the Awori Yoruba Aromire family till today

Aromire was one of the Sons of Olofin Ogunfuminire

The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos

It was the returnee Egba Slaves who had been Converted to Christianity at Sierra Leone Bishop Ajayi Crowther included that asked the British Queen Victoria to invade Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in order to finally end the Evil Slave trade

Bishop Ajayi Crowther had met with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert her Husband at Windsor Castle over the Issue of how to finally end the Slave Trade in Lagos on 18th November 1851 and the Royal British Navy Bombarded Lagos one month Later on 26th of December 1851.

Bishop Ajayi Crowther who was originally from Osogun near Oyo had himself at age 13 been sold to a Portuguese Slave Trader at Lagos for a bottle of Wine and some Tobacco leaves

Capt Labulo Davies who later married Queen Victoria’s adopted Daughter Sarah Bonnetta (Aina) originally from Ilaro , was on the British ship that Bombarded Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in 1951 and Oba Akitoye whom the British had restored to the Throne of Lagos had first met the British Missionaries at Abeokuta while he was exiled there as Abeokuta was also Oba Akitoyes Owu mother’s Hometown he had promised. to end the Evil Slave Trade if the British helped to restore him to his Throne which his nephew Oba Kosoko had Usurped with the help of some local and Portuguese Slave traders after Oba Akintoye had driven the Portuguese Slave Traders out of Lagos 6 years earlier

Slave Trading was Oba Kosoko’s Business and his Slave Market was at Ereko Market of Isale Eko on Lagos Island where he also sold European made Goods

Ok listen to the Oba of Lagos Himself
At 25 mins of the Video below what exactly did the Oba of lagos mean when he Said
"I am a Yoruba monarch" ?

The Awori are Bini that settled first in the area. Their language was influenced by the Yoruba who are claiming they are Yoruba. Some of us have researched this history. Awori are definitely not Yoruba despite the claims on Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badagry

Egun descended from Oduduwa through the Branch of the Yorubas called the Popo

They were the result of intermarriage between the fon of Dahomey and the Yoruba Popos

and they settled in badagry in the late 17 th Century as guests of their Awori Yoruba Cousins who gave them the land they settled on when they fled from the King of Dahomey’s Wars against Ouidah which was their original homeland

When the King of Dahomey attached the Area it was recaptured and retaken by the Alaafins Oyo Army

So what is your Problem ?

the Egun are our People

What happened to your Biafra

It should be obvious enough to you. For those saying others are trooping to Lagos, when they too are trooping to Lagos are being hypocritical. If anyone should complain that people are trooping to Lagos, they should be the Aworis, who own Lagos and the Binis, who own the Aworis. Clear enough?

If you go through history, you would understand that Lagos is Aworiland. The Aworis are from Benin. So the Bini have more claims to Lagos than any other tribe. In fact, if not for colonialism, Lagos should be a vassal of the Benin kingdom.

This is for those claiming that Lagos belongs to them. Yorubaland is Ile-Ife and Oyo and co. It doesn't extend to Lagos.

Where are Aworis from?

with this your very Covetous attitude it is now obvious that it was a very mighty Victory God Almighty won for them otherwise you would have claimed ownership of all their Ancestral Land and both Towns by now
