The Oba of Benin, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, has said Benin founded Lagos and can be proven through history books.


The monarch, however, stated that the Lagos founded by his ancestors is not the whole of Lagos as the city is known today but a subsection of it.

Oba Ewuare II said this during his visit to Lagos on Sunday where he was received by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Addressing an audience, the monarch said, “I cannot help but say that it is in history books that Benin founded Lagos. But when some people hear it now they go haywire that ‘what is the Oba saying?’ But it is true o. Go and check the records. Maybe not all of Lagos as we know it now but certain areas in Lagos – maybe the nucleus -was founded by my ancestors. The Oba of Lagos will say so.”


Meanwhile during his stay in Lagos, the Oba of Benin said the Presidency of President Bola Tinubu was ordained by God, just as he urged all Nigerians to support his administration.


Buttressing his point, the monarch noted that the victory of Tinubu in the 2023 presidential poll and his emergence as the incumbent President of Nigeria showed God ordained him to rule the country.

He said diversity is good for Nigeria and urged the people to iron out their differences and live as a family in peace, unity and harmony with one another.

“God has ordained that Tinubu would become President of Nigeria. We are all one. I am for peace and tranquility. We must live together as one. Nigeria is big. We must iron out our differences and learn to live together as one, big family,” he said.

Okay now

We know!


But the main headache is the Lagos Igbo founded and funded with their money.

While it might be true, its not all part of the present Lagos. Present Lagos comprises of different established kingdom put together.

Benin people don dey overdo

You claimed Ikwere, now Lagos

What do we deduce from that? Nigeria was founded by Lord Lugard and not Nigerians.

Let us move away from that. This is modern times. The other time, Ọba of Lagos made such a statement when he was rude to Ọọni, it sparked outrage from Yorubas. In the olden days, that was enough to start intertribal war. The Lagos is in the heart of Yorubaland with historical records deep in ifá oracle before Benin kingdom came in to sack the original owners, the Aworis. The dynasty ruling in Ikere Ekiti today is traced to Benin kingdom. The day the monarch there declares he is no longer Ekiti his ancestors belonged after almost 230 years, he will have problem.

I have met quite a few of Ilorin Fulanis, they don't claim they are not as much fulani as yorubas. They can no longer speaking Fulfulde. There was agitation under Obasanjo to take rulership from Fulanis. It was a
very sensitive case.


My take such history should be buried.
Today, Obama of this world and the now Prime Minister of UK are from the colonized people's.

The Aworis are not happy losing their land to usupers. Let alone Palestinians to Israels.

Even those whose grandfathers entered night bus from oppu-iweka to lagos sef are dragging lagos with Yorubas, how mush more benin next door.

How "pls direct me to your toilet" con become "na my papa get ur house" is still a mystery.

You wrote 'application letter' to Lagos State govt for a 'tutorial' on yoruba history, how e com become na we get lagos, I nor understand.

Some ppl sha like dragging.

The Benin empire covered a land mass far bigger than Nigeria. It's boundaries stretched to the Songhai empire with Lagos in it's territory. The Binis didn't build Lagos, the Igbos didn't build it either! Lagos was built & developed by the white man separate from the northern & southern protectorates. The Yorubas just claimed what the white man left behind. As for those arguing with themselves and not the Oba, his family history predates the founding of many of your villages. He knows what he is talking about!

He is definitely insane, he should mention the exact place his imaginary fathers found in lagos and stop blabbing.
Benin as a whole is yoruba territory and he is under Ooni of Ifè.
The sodomy clown should know his place or we will point it to him

They'd rather be with benin than you obnoxious loudmouthed greedy clowns.

Oba of bini said his ancestors probably found "some part" according to history, he didn't say they own it now. He didn't even mention the name of the location he think they found in Lagos.

He is just trying to fams yoruba since ipob is already claiming his land, Oba of bini is of yoruba decent.

He is soliloquizing I guess, sign of early madness
