Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man.

Edo people said so.
The Oba of Benin has no relationship with Ife, his father is the previous Oba of Benin, his father's father was the Oba of Benin ...only the first son of the Oba of Benin can become the next Oba of Benin, so one of the few people whose ancestry can be traced for more than 1000 years, that would be the Oba of Benin, and it leads back to Benin empire and Benin city to be more precise.

Man, you suffer from cognitive dissonance.
All Lagos true monarchs (not the fake self claimed ones) were under the Oba of Lagos who himself was under the Oba of Benin.

Remove us from Lagos and all you have are thugs,agberos, runs babes,druglords,ritualists, skull miners & r@pists angry
Did anybody invite you or tie you down to Lagos? Xmas is less than a month now, as you go to your village for Xmas celebrations may you forever remain in your father's ancestral land and never come back to Lagos again. So, Lagos has released you now stay in your village and let Lagos face her agberos and skull miners without you.

Your case is clinical.
What don't you get in the fact that the ownership of Lagos went from the Oba of Benin to the king of England then to the federal republic of Nigeria?
Where did I say "yoruba" in there ?

You think with your head does it makes sense to you .....
The Isokos, Urhobo even Afgbor never deny their trace to Benin it's common sense to let you know they're within almost the same geographic proximity....
You ignore Eguns Oyos Oguns Ijebus, Epe Ikorodu only to claim Idumota as your territory....
Ikoyi is not under the Oba of Lagos that place it's called Iru and it had its own king Onikoyi of Ikoyi because some of you just say things you don't know ....
Epe has its own King too,Many places on that Island has their kings different from Oba Akiolu ...
The difference is Oba Akiolus Ancestors have had more contacts with the British just like other major Kings that's the difference...

Oba of Bini should also accept that Ife people founded Bini.
When Ife people (Yoruba) led by Oranmiyan invaded igodomigodo, they subdued the people they met there, changed the name of the settlement from igodomigodo to Ile Ibinu that's now shortened to Bini till today. They also established Obaship dynasty with Oranmiyan as 1st Oba and his descendants, from Eweka till today as Omonoba (the real title of Binis' King I.e. child of Oba Oranmiyan). Also know that Eweka wasn't the only Yoruba/Ife child left behind in Bini. Ife people actually populated the place with many children they gave birth to in Bini, most by Edo/Esan mothers. That's why we still have so many ancient Yoruba surnames in Bini till today e.g. Obasuyi, Alonge, Ajayi, Ojo, Falaye, Oyegun, Ogun...., Ade...Balogun etc.

Lagos being founded by Benin is supported by evidence.
Your claim of Benin being founded by Ife is supported by Yoruba mouths and zero evidence.

Benin is not limited to Benin city, Benin city is only the capital of the Kingdom. And Benin is much older than little Ife !

Even the same Oba of Bini said it with his mouth during his coronation that the 1st Oba of Bini was Oranmiyan from Uhe/Ife. It is you that's neither Yoruba nor Edo that's doing overheating on top of another people's (who are not even your immediate neighbours) history. Medlesome Interloper!

One of my uncles is an Enogie, an other of my uncles is the governor of Edo-state, not that it has any importance in the discussion. But this is just to show that you talk without knowing what you are talking about.
Also the Oba of Benin said that oduduwa was a Benin prince who landed in Ife and his son oranmiyan came back to take the trone of his grand father.
And again, all that is not relevant to history, it is just a story. Oduduwa, oranmiyan...they never existed.

Some of the evidences that Ife founded Bini is the name of the City, Yoruba surnames that is everywhere in Bini (Nobody is bearing Bini name in Lagos or anywhere in Yorubaland), Yoruba/Ife deities are being worshipped in Bini e.g Ogun, Osun, Olokun, Sonponna, Obatala etc. They have Orunmila and Ogboni temples in Bini
Another evidence is that they celebrate Odua (not ekeledaran or whatever) and Oranmiyan festivals in Bini - Igue Oodua, Igue Oranmiyan

There are still Moba People in Lagos as we Speak lots of them

For the Moba Ijebu History it was over 1000 years ago , long before Oyo or Ilaje even existed but some Moba People still Migrated to Ijebu and Built the 160Km Eredo Wall

Oya
Which Eredo Clan do you belong to?
As for the Oba Of Benin he met the Awori in Lagos
Olofin had already even already finished sharing Lagos among his Son's before Benin Turned up that was why they were managing to stay at Isale Eko on Lagos Island which already belonged to Aromire son of Olofin Ogunfunminire. and till this day his family are still the Land owners of Most of Lagos Island
Stop saying moba came to build a wall within ijebu territory. That's not acceptable! My ancestors came from the motherland ijebu-ode and found their respective town in their present location.
I was seeing some documentation how the first settlers who discovered Poka in Epe came from Ife. Some yoruba historian will just sit in one beer parlour and start assumming things as if the natives of the places they patching history are extint. I see that are lazy historian who dont make proper research by visiting village heads.
Years ago Epe was tought even lasu to be an awori kingdom which is not true. Awori dominance in epe started after the magbon war that decimate the old ijebu kingdom. I dont think any ijebu man will accept this your portion of history without proves.

We ijebus have our pride to keep
