Yoruba ancestry over 400 years ago was Yoruba not Bini.

Before they were called Yorubas they were called Egyptians.

Yoruba has never been called Bini. The only Bini in Lagos was the intermediary the Oba of Bini used to trade and communicate with the Yorubas.
Stop saying rubbish and rewriting history with false and nonsense info.

The Oba of Benin had an intermediary in Lagos who used to communicate with the Yorubas ( who was later called the Oba of a particular section of Lagos).

he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of an intermediary or secretary or diplomat of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and also part of Ogun then the Portuguese came and called the part of Ogun they traded with Lagos.. and it was governed by warring Yoruba tribes that's why the Oba of Benin intermediary called it war camp ( eko ).. over time the intermediary stopped been a Bini indigene and Yorubas took over the post and changed it to Oba of Lagos..

From Ogun down to the borders of Togo and Ghana was mostly governed by Yoruba military/warrior women..

my family is royalty bruh. We on Wikipedia if you want me to pull it up for you. And there are millions of us like this. Called Bini 400 years ago but name changed to Yoruba today. The name Yoruba is not a very old name. It’s like british people were once part of the Roman Empire. They are Romans. But today they call themselves british. Name change. Name changes with time but the people remain the same

sukkot:
bro you ain’t gone tell me who I am. My family history is on Wikipedia. Bini royal family of Olisa in ikorodu now called Yoruba today. Google is your friend. Just google Olisa ikorodu. That’s why in ikorodu they have 2 kings Like I said, one to acknowledge the Bini ancestry . Part of my family tree is the abiru guy the senator of Lagos east and the commisioner for transport for Lagos. Ancient Bini guys but name changed to Yoruba like 400 yeRs ago

Anybody can write anything on Wikipedia. I look at what's on ground and what's realistic.

Ogun to Togo was occupied by Yoruba women warriors and farmers. There's was never any royalty there..

If there's was royalty there you won't be alive today because the British would have k:illed off your ancestors the same way they killed Ghanaian king and cut off his head. Every place that had royalty the royals were the first victims of the British.

omohayek:

Exactly - and this is something anyone could easily verify by looking it up in a Portuguese-English dictionary. Besides, even if it were true, so what? Does the fact that English-speakers use the word "Germany" to refer to Deutschland now mean that Germany belongs to the British? Or does "Sverige" being called "Sweden" mean the Swedes are living on UK soil? A place having different names in different languages says absolutely nothing about who its indigenous inhabitants are or how it was founded.

Seun Kuti is just revealing his own ignorance and laziness by circulating this ridiculous, low-IQ piece of propaganda born of some semi-literate IPOB sympathiser.

Even if he mistranslated the word Lagos he is not wrong in reference to what Lagos was. It was actually a slave coast. You can do your research. You will see it. In as much as the present day Lagos is a South western state in Nigeria,it used to be a slave coast. Europeans used to come to buy slaves and other commodities in the slave coasts,one of which was Lagos. Check and see. So Seun Kuti is not ignorant.

It was never ever a slave coast.

Stop rewriting history with fake news and fake history.

Lagos was a farm and commercial point of the Oyo Empire and was occupied by Yoruba warriors and it extended into benin republic and Togo.

Yorubaland and Yoruba people does not end in Nigeria or Lagos, it ends in Togo and some parts of Ghana.

When the Portuguese came they traded with Yorubas in the places now called Lagos, Cotonou and Porto Novo.

Lagos, cotonou and Porto Novo used to be one whole Yoruba farm and commercial point.

Lagos was called Oko.

na Fed govt dey cause all this open port in rivers,akwa ibom maybe delta state or leave epz gas city prpject for delta state .all this tribalism entitlement nonsense go stop.
it even affect us as a country imaging u are in edo nd import/expprt a good unow have tp travel far distance tp lagos .d logistics cost.but if u get in ph or delta stste or akwa ibom e no far to claim ur gppds or export ur product .
secondly it will open more city to hustle nd mske it for example a port in akwa ibom will open cross river nd abia .while a port in rivers state will open anambra nd imo what you need is train nd is close.nd more ststes tp hustle.
lagos with train open ogun oyo.nd all ports will be linked by train to kano inland port to serve d north while benue or plateau has inland port to serve north central na so e suppose be.
even asaba waterways ie river niger supppse get ferry /water inland port where go dey carry goods from. north come d region nd gp back

The word eko is a bini word.

Here is the ish. Bini kingdom had influence to Lagos and claimed it as a territory but bear in mind there were indigenous people there.

All this story of Yoruba nation and likes are construct of the Europeans. Before the coming of the Europeans, there was no such thing as Yoruba nation and the likes.

Nigeria is in dear need of urgent restructure. This election has exposed who we are. We are all too tribalistic.
We are nott fit to stay together. If we can't separate, then let go on resources control. . This kind of government system we operating has given some states opportunity to be assuming they are very important to others . Money from the south south and partly the south East has been used to developed almost every state in Nigeria, yet some states which there only sources of contribution to national development is only seaport revenue. Delta State I came from has two major seaport. But because of the useless Leaders we have, they left that seaport to waste away. Delta is one state that has contributed largely to Nigeria development.. if Nigeria is working, I don't need Lagos seaport for anything.
