Whatever you smoked without proper dosage to say this, is not good for your brain pls....

But you made sense when you said it was less than two months for the war to end before Yorubas joined the war.....just one month and you are bragging you fought war??.

Biafra faced Nigerian army, Britain support, Russian support even US support for NIGERIA as against small Biafra yet the war took 3 years to end...

The death of many Civilians in the Biafrain side was as a result of malnutrition , hunger , and that's because Britain and Nigeria made sure that no relief materials entered the land of Biafra....

Biafra currency was and is called "Biafra pounds" which means they had the support of Britain which also means they had U:S support.

What I mean is that the Yorubas were too brutal for the Igbos and their involvement accelerated the end of the war.

Again, you have a right to keep deceiving yourself.

The same Benin empire can not make Benin flourish and stop their daughters from becoming prostitutes overseas.

It flourished and extended, Benin empire is the greatest empire from this side of West Africa. The British came and saw Benin empire in charge of Lagos collecting taxes.

It flourished that it's bronze artefacts sell for up to 10million pounds a piece ..it flourished big time, till the British came and did amalgamation... Benin was in charge of Southern Nigeria at a point in history, down to Dahomey, Onitsha, up to the borders of Ghana.

It is still flourishing my friend... South South is the richest part of Nigeria, south south, of which 4 of the states in it was extracted from old Bendel (Benin empire), is the region that has fed Nigeria since independence. Rich, very rich region, both in natural resources, cash and food crops.

Lagos is what it is today thanks to Benin for opening up it's waterways for foreign trade.

TheBillyonaire:


Benin Empire defeated Aworis, Yorubas are not good at wars, Yoruba is for Peace, and you are choosing war, when you know you can not fight, i t is not your calling.

After the war, Igbo properties were confiscated, but Igbo now owned more and more than what was taken from them. Their property ownership now is even more than what was lost. So even if there is a war, they will even own more than they own now. Which means, they will not only own Lagos, they will encroach into Ogun, Ondo and chase you all out. I am not Igbo, but my grand mothers were and I have some Igboic DNA and RNA. I am from Niger Delta. But I know Igbo people. They will buy out Ondo and Ogun very soon. Lagos is a done deal.

I want you to do yourselves a favor. That video of Sanwo Olu receiving Oba of Benin. Watch the video of the reception before he made that statement about his ownership of Lagos.

Oba of Benin was hailed! He was hailed as a warrior and he stood and sat, and more hailings came. while Sanwo Olu stood there, smiling sheepishly confused. He stood as a defeated man and said nothing, cos there is nothing to be said.

Lagos has been a no man's land from the time it was financed with oil and gas money from my Niger Delta. When it comes to ownership of Lagos, I own some portions of Lekki. And I do not have to be in that chaotic prison anymore for now until you little minions are chased out of that place.

In the coming war, which will be fought over Lagos, we will burn it down and rebuild it because we will never leave Lagos. Our home states will be safe cos no one is fighting here.

You don't own anything even the phone you're using was bought for you.

Someone who owns something will not call for war especially in a nation where the person is not indigenous too but living in.

You just proved and shown that you're a pauper and you give yourself the monicker "billionaire" to live in a false reality..

Like I said you have a right to deceive yourself and live in false fantasy world.

You can't found a place that has indigenous people. The Portuguese couldn't claim to have found Lagos, British couldn't claim it either let alone Benin down there that arrived yesterday and owe everything they are to Yoruba. The Lagos leaders hosting them are the ones bringing insults to us. Oba of Benin is not an ojulowo oba, he's just the same as Wasiu Ayinde(KWAM1) both are OMO OBA= CROWN PRINCE. Yoruba are people who allow every goat to put mouth in their affairs and that's why we hear insults from the most ridiculous places. Most part of Eko is Ijebuland and Eko is a Yoruba word meaning 'Island'. Benin was NEVER an empire, it was a very small kingdom limited to Benin town and that's why it does not have the markings of past empires anywhere in the world with language, religion and cultures. Everything Benin has is burowed from Yoruba including the 'oba' and all that goes with it. Btw, the throne in Benin is NOT oba but prince, every oba of Benin is not actually oba but OMO OBA. Short man syndrome of oba of Benin and Yoruba approach to things make any rat come out of the bush and talk nonsense. The danger of inter-marriage is also destroying Yoruba heritage, every other non Yoruba spouse wants to cut part of Yoruba heritage for his or her children so he or she can claim to be as somebody too. British couldn't get you Lagos, so will you will never get it no matter your obsession with it. Christopher Columbus didn't found America, Mungo Park didn't found river Niger, Benin NEVER founded Lagos, you have nothing to do with Lagos, you came to see a beautiful Yoruba Lagos and you will remain strangers there like everyone that isn't Yoruba.

Continue to deceive yourself..

You are talking about mythology and I am talking about verifiable history.
Right from the beginning, from the earliest of recorded history, Benin has always dominated Eko politically and they would have continued to do so till this date were it not for the British taking over and forcing Oba Akintoye to sign a treaty which made Lagos a British Colony.
Up till that point in Lagos history, all the Obas of Lagos from the first Oba of Lagos Ologun Kutere were buried in Benin. It was only after the British freed Lagos from their Benin masters that Lagos Obas began to be buried in Lagos itself.

seunmsg:
Awori l'onile, awon l'omo olofin
Baba tiwan l'onile, awon l'omo olofin




The above is absolute nonsense. The current Oba of Lagos is from the Ologun Kutere ruling house. Ologun Kutere was enthroned in 1749 after the death of Oba Akinsemoyin. Akinsemoyin did not have male children old enough to take the throne so Ologun Kutere, the son of Erelu Kuti and Alaagba was appointed Oba. Erelu Kuti was the daughter of Oba Ado while Alagba was an Ijesha man who worked for Oba Akinsemoyin.

Since 1749, the Ologun Kutere lineage has been producing the Oba of Lagos including the Akinnolu. The Binis stopped ascending the throne since 1749 and so shall it remain. The Bini ruling house (Akinsemoyin) went to court after Akinolu was appointed and they lost woefully.

Continue to deceive yourself..

Listen and learn, ignorance is a disease.

Even Oba of Benin Throne itself
Na Yoruba get am

The Bible says Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Ok

Let us look at the praise names of oba of benin

One of it is

Abieyuwa N'Ovbi Odua N'uhe
The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife).

(Odua of Ife is the same as oduduwa of Ife)



Another of oba of benin's praise names is

Ovbi' Adimila
The son of Adimila


oduduwa was also known as Olofin Adimula
Which was his Title

Notice there is no mention at all of any Ekhalerderhan of Igodomigodo or Izoduwa that got lost

They did not mention the lEkhalerderhan and Izoduwa too is not happening anywhere in Oba of Benin's Praise names but they called Oduduwa the great Odua of Ife

So with their own mouths they themselves have already given the evidence that fully demolished and destroyed their case which had no legs to stand on in the first place and have confirmed with your own Mouth that the oba of benin was indeed oduduwa's Son

There is nothing left to drag because it is settled

[quote author=Zonefree post=127208370]I stand with Oba of Benin.

You are free to sit also with him.
The Britons settled in Benin and expelled the king.
That means that Britain is the founder of Edo and Benin.

That is what people say. Some people do not actually think I own much because I am like a monk. I dream and acquire and after aquiring, I move to the next goal. My Lekki assets is nothing compared to what I have at my own State. So, do I give a shit, I do not.

I am just telling you the truth. If there is war over Lagos, Lagos will be destroyed, but people like us will still have our amazing States.

So, just buy a piece of Lagos and stay quiet, Lagos is gone to those who buy. It is not a Yoruba state, if you can not control the economy.

I want your Governor to ensure the roads are good, so I can come and enjoy. Clean that place up, cos I do not like what is going on at Lekki now. I need good roads there.

Correction:
the annexation of Lagos island by Binis predated the mass dumping of freed slaves in Lagos island. I just reconfirmed this. I can see your need to argue tho.
Please note that AWORIS were already in Lagos & Bini annexation of Lagos was a conquest not a newfoundland.
There was a dispute amongst the Yorubas in Lagos & a faction requested the help of Oranmiyan dynasty in Benin to help. This group won & this is how Benin colonized Lagos island for a few years. This annexation was later FULLY relinquished.
Until recently when the people of Benin started dissociating themselves from Yorubas, we fully counted them as part of our heritage.
Please note that until recently, ALL OBA OF BENIN heads MUST buried in ILE IFE when they die. I like the way Yorubas are not struggling to beg Benin people to remain with us.

your story on "freed slaves" is alsl false.
to request help from the benin kingdom they will need cellphones because Lagos is far from the bini kingdom and that makes your story nonsense.

bini king will never help them because sending bini warriors to Lagos will be a suicide mission because to the right of Lagos is more Yoruba towns filled with Yoruba warriors and to the left of Lagos more Yoruba towns filled with even more Yoruba warriors. the bini warriors won't even reach anywhere near Lagos before they will be killed.

aikyg:
Ashipa, the founder of the Lagos royal dynasty was appointed by the Oba of Benin to govern Lagos. Ashipa is believed to be a son or grandson of the Oba of Benin. All Lagos Obas trace their lineage to Ashipa.

Everyone is paying tax to the state, not Yoruba. This Lagos is an entity with mutual arrangements and understanding with a lot of interests...it's cosmopolitan. You are just looking at it from you and your bigots myopic view, but the truth is, Lagos is bigger than you all.
Lagos belongs to all Nigerians.

All am trying to do here, is to stop the maligning if the Oba of Benin, what he said was fact, and he said it in the most intelligent way.

Oba of Benin said, Benin empire founded what is today the nucleus of Lagos, and it's a fact.

Oba never talks anyhow, hardly talks, he was saying this to signify the relationship between Benin and Lagos, and all he said is facts.

The first Oba of Eko, Lagos island is Benin.

Everyone knows the seafront, that stretches Lagos Island, Marina, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, are the most valuable parts of Lagos.

Am interested in history, and I don't like seeing it distorted, so we pass on facts to the next generation.

If there is war in Lagos your amazing states will suffer because most of the breadwinners are working in Lagos and the war will affect your amazing states who depend on stipends from their Lagos breadwinners because most of the breadwinners will be killed and won't be able to access their bank accounts.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Some tribes have given up on what they can do for their own people, they are scared of the regional govt. They sha want to hang on Yoruba coat tail and going about it the wrong way. This is the time for our leaders to wake up and ethnic cleans state civil service in Lagos and extend it to other states., enough of this insults.

There is oil in ondo while edo and Delta are sister states to the SW which means oil pipelines can never ever be cut off to the SW. Even at that SW will get oil from ondo and other countries.
