Wallade:in your hurry to respond, you didn't read. Mr yoruba read, it is in fine print, So that you don't respond ignorantly to something I already answered ( see bold). Since you didn't respond on what your political sagaciousness has benefited the south west for all the years you have played it, and you are still as backward as the south east that doesn't know how to play it, can we now agree that you are the problem of Nigeria? If not for anything your being the problem comes from your lack of awareness in your abilities and the benefits it accrues to you. |

Carlosdd:sure. Peter obi has said that many times. We are not desperate. We obidients have said same. However I cannot assure you of same resolve and outcome, if our votes are hijacked through rigging or disenfranchisement. What Nigeria sees afterwards would be fair in love and war. |

femisplash:Lol. Thanks for the mention. Eriokanmi:Lol. Save “you & us” the stress of what we will never know whether true or false about your dad; as well as what will never be verifiable by us about him. It’s pointless. Its non-verifiableness makes it irrelevant, and adds 0 weight to your position. It probably detracts from your position because it’s most likely another Edo lie. It’s irrelevant in any case. So don’t even sweat it. the early settlers of Eko from Edo stateIf what you mean is that the name “Eko” was given to this island (inside Lagos state) by the Ẹdos (i.e. Binis); I’m sorry to break it to you that such statement is yet another popular but miserably false Ẹdo assertion. Two pieces of information rightly knocks off this Bini fiction, and these pieces of information are: (a) A Portuguese description of the area in the 1470s. This Portuguese description of the area appears 100 odd years before the Edos (and other foreigners) first immigrated to this land of the Yoruba autochthones. This Portuguese description is Lago de Koráme; also spelt Lago de Curamo. This description first came from Ruy de Sequiera who explored the island area around the year 1472. This piece of land (Eko island) is of course surrounded by water. He described this waterbody in relation to the island it surrounds. Of course this island has long had a name prior to his arrival and exploration. The locals till date still call it Eko-Aromirẹ, i.e. Aromirẹ’s Eko. Per Lagos traditions, Aromirẹ is the Awori prince who pioneered its use as oko (farm). This oko (farm) thus became an ereko (a farmstead dependency) of the adjacent Ido island capital. His “Lago de Koráme” is his Portuguese description of the waterbody surrounding this island. This in English (partly) translates to “Lake of Koráme”. Koráme (also spelt: Curamo) thus corresponds to the local name of the island. He didn’t rename the island. A well known name of the island till date among the indigenous people is: “EkoAromi-rẹ”—also sometimes punned as: “EkoAromi-sa”. His “Koráme”/“Curamo” messy spelling (of the island’s local name) corresponds to no else than EkoAromi-rẹ which is the islands local name. His “Lago de Koráme” is “Lake of EkoAromi” which, for short, is “Lake of Eko” — his description of the water around the island. He recorded this in 1472, and that is 100 odd years before the Edos/Binis immigrated to live on the island among the Yoruba autochthones. In summation; there exists a textual evidence which demonstrates that the island has had its name “Eko” centuries before the Edo/Binis first immigrated here. (b) Lagos traditions has maintained for centuries that this island has had its name Eko long before it got transformed from a mere farmstead dependency of Ìdó into having actual settlements of its own. This centuries-old tradition was captured into writing in the 1920s by A. Burns, a former Acting Governor of Nigeria. He collected & documented this tradition as follows: “Formerly [prior to its name as “Lagos”] it was known as Eko, which name it had received before any settlements were made on the island.” ~Alan C. Burns, “History of Nigeria,” (1929), p. 44. In summation; the island has had its name “Eko” long, long before the mid-1500s when the Edos (Binis) and the other immigrants first contemplated immigrating to this island of the Yoruba autochthones. ———— Yes the Binis immigrated here later and encountered this word “Eko” as the pre-existing name of this island. This name thus entered the Bini lexicon since then as an alternative Bini word for “camp” — signifying their camp which they built on a corner of this island when they arrived in the mid-1500s. What's known as Oshodi today was originally called Oshodin which is an edo word.FALSE! First of all, it is NOT called “Oshodin” (“Oṣodin”) in the Edo (aka. Bini) language. Instead, the Edos/Binis call it “Osodin”. Secondly, pick up the dictionary of the Bini language, you will find the additional details which reads: “Of Yoruba origin”. In other words, the Bini lexicon tells you clearly that it is a word which originated from Yoruba language and which found its way into the Edo/Bini world/lexicon. It is for this reason that the Edo/Bini language fails to make etymological sense of this word. In other words, while the Bini kingdom may continue to bestow the word as a chieftain title, the language of the Edos continues to fail to give us an etymological derivation/meaning of the word itself. Or can you tell me the yoruba meaning of oshodi? .As we have been informed by the Bini dictionary, this word does not belong originally in the Bini language. The original Yoruba word as is well known is “Oshodi” (i.e. Oṣòdì). It entered the Benin lexicon as: Ósòdìn In other words, its etymological meaning can only be found in the Yoruba language, as broken down below: Oṣòdì = Oṣ’òdì = O ṣe òdì = Oṣ’òdì = Oṣòdì The most relevant of these etymological components is the word: “òdì”. This word translates literally into English as: “the inferior contrast in a pair”. Oṣòdì = Oṣ’òdì = O ṣe òdì. The Yoruba article “o” here is the noun-maker which in English literally is: “that which”. The Yoruba word “ṣe” translates literally as: “do”, “act”. The literal translation of the Yoruba word “Oṣòdì“ is: “That which acts as the inferior contrast in a pair”. ———— As a historical compliment to the foregoing linguistic background, this specific word is mostly remembered to have emerged in Lagos in relation to a certain Nupe man whose actual name is Landuji. Landuji from Nupeland lived in the Eko palace since a little boy. He grew up to later serve as King Kosoko’s loyal war captain and right-hand man. Being always in his master’s company as his loyal war captain, right-hand man, and representative; Landuji for all practical intents & purposes appeared as a duo with his master, the king. He earned and lived the title: Oṣòdì [lit: one who acts as òdì (the lesser complement of a duo) to the king]. Hence the “name” which he is most remembered by today, viz. Chief Oṣodi Tapa. Tapa being the Yoruba name for “Nupe”. Instead of the title “Oṣòdì”, some Yoruba kingdoms use it as “Òdì-Ọba” [lit. The king’s òdì — i.e. the king’s (lesser) contrast]. While others use other descriptions for the same role or title. Edo were early settlers of Lagos. Look at the way Obas in Lagos are dressedand and compare this with the Edo Obas. Oba Akiolu sef attested to this.Yes the Edos/Binis and many other immigrants came to trade/settle on the island in the mid-1500s. They were welcomed by the autochthonous Yorubas landowners who have been there for centuries prior. —— The Eko ọbas do NOT DRESS like Edo ọbas in any way, shape, or form. Please point me to one similarity (just one) between the two kings’ dressings. Thanks. —— There is no where in the whole wide world, where the present Eko king (Ọba Akiolu) said his dressing or any of his predecessors’ is similar to Ẹdo kings’ dressing. The most he has mentioned is that there is a strong connection between the Eko monarchy and the Bini monarchy. Specifically, the Eko king called Ado can trace his descent to a certain Bini king — but via his mother. His father being a Yorùbá noble from Isheri. I'm full bloodied lagosian.Full blooded? How so? I thought your dad is Ẹdo just now. Oh by Lagosian you mean you’re a non-indigene of Lagos who live in Lagos (perhaps from birth or from a latter time)? Cheers. Cc: ASAPFERG 11 Likes 4 Shares |

emee701: Smart guy the support of Obi is purely ethnic anyone with emitonal intelligence can sense that.Forget all the useless talk of he is this or that. How come people who want Biafra and called Nigeria a zoo support him?? What has change? I repeat the support for Obi is ethnic based and there is nothing wrong with that but stop blackmailing people. Some yorubas are saying it boldly that their support for Tinubu is because he is Yoruba have you seen any Ibo say this Probably not just to make it look like they are supporting him based on competency. So despite all the curses and insults you guys want the presidency badly? I thought you guys said you dont want it. Those who planned the coup this is same strategy they use but they are always half smart thinking they are smart. |

There are 18 political parties in Nigeria, if you don't like APC you can vote for YYP,LP,PDP or SDP but I believe that your best option is to go to court or shut up. Power is going to the SW and after that it goes to the North then returns to SS or SW again. |

Eddygourdo: Always pointing fingers Igbo the tribe that do no wrong. Who voted Atiku in PDP even when their son is on the ballot? Orji Kalu was supporting Lawal for president is he from Oyo? How many Igbo stood to fight for Obi in PDP You all have the same mentality with your leaders. It is either you guys way or no way and that was what Orji did in APC and Igbo in PDP. And it boils down to bitterness and hatred.It will never take you guys anywhere |
