Ibo people

Let me advice you

You have your land now

Better develop it so that Yorubas can wish they own it

Nobody will help you develop your land trust me!

charsoso:


You know nothing about history. You need to read different versions of the history presented by different writers, professors, historians and other archeological findings. It will help to give you a logical view

adigun27:
Even.d deaf know awori owns Lagos make Benin go ile Ife that is der orign d deaf know oranmiyan own Benin

baysol:

These is the exact nonse im talking about. very soon this narrative will change, no worry he go be like noliwood film.

ObabiOlorunosi:





We are saying the same thing. The oba of Benin is a Yoruba man who originated from oranmiyan. Whichever way you look at it,Lagos is Yoruba land.

goodnessme1:
Lagos remain no man's land

Ernezt:
Rubbish

baysol:

The end they say will justify the means.

Dshocker:
If there was war between the Yorubas and the Edos, who do you think will win?

Remember; Having larger numbers of fighters doesn't determine victory ✍️

After all, King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought against Xerxes and his 100,000 Persian armies and won 👌

forgiveness:


Who was Oduduwa's father? Benins has not given answer till date.

You say one lie, you need more lies. See how you are disgracing yourselves as cheats and covetous people.

The current Oonirisa already predicted it that your pride will end in disgrace. It happened. See very hard hash words being used for the Oba of Benin and he is even on the verge of witnessing his small benin being balkanized.

Nobody takes you serious with all your lies. Like Asari asked you with sarcasm " did you pack the land from Benin on your head and brought it to Yorubaland?" No. Do you even have access to the oceans? No.

You kept recycling the lies that the Oba of Benin doesn't leave the palace for long until internet era exposed your lies then you started revising same lie after you have been exposed as liars. Your generation will go down as the one who made the Bini people outsiders in Yorubaland. It started on Sunday when the Oba of Benin came to Yorubaland to receive tutorials on Yoruba history. That's your pride that demoted the bini in Yorubaland.
Nobody cares anymore. Your lies are obnoxious.

FreeStuffsNG:
This is an epic response.

Pride goeth before disgrace. See the kind of harsh ,hurtful, horrible words and invectives being used for the Oba of Benin. Smh.

The Ooni counselled same Oba of Benin against pride and vainglory attempt to revise history in order to give the bini credit that's false just to hype himself and the bini. Oonirisa is today vindicated.

According to Mujahideen Asari Dokubo, saying Benin founded Lagos shows how unintelligent some people are - THAT IS HISTORICAL PARASITISM - ASARI DOKUBO

neither the aworis nor the binis can lay claim to the entire Lagos, the aworis had their territory in Lagos the binis also had their territory, Lagos is a state just like osun, just like you have the Ooni of ife who governs the ife territory of osun state, there are also other traditional rulers in the same osun, you can't come today and claim the ancestors of the Ooni founded osun state they only founded ife, same can be said about Lagos and how you guys always try to make it look like the aworis controlled the entire Lagos, the binis also had their territory, which means the oba isn't wrong.

Racoon:
The first Oba of Lagos was a Benin man. Beside the Portuguese were the first discoverers and named Lagos. So what is all this fuse of ownership of Lagos?

Iykenuwa:
This is from Samuel Nomamiukor on Facebook:



I made the observation that pre colonial Lagos was under Benin domination for the fact the when Ruy De Sequeira visited Lagos in 1472 he was directed to Benin.
It was from Lagos that he came to Benin in thesame year.
Another case was when Aina the goat rearer who was accused of witchcraft and exiled by Olofin went to Benin and appealed for Oba Orhogbua's intervention.
Another pointer was the statement by the Eleru Kuti of Lagos who said that Awori paid Isakole to Benin for settling in Lagos.
How do you pay tributes to someone for settling in a land that is not withing his territory except Lagos was Benin territory.
Finally to further buttress my point let me quote this Observation by Talbot from Peoples of Southern Nigeria , Vol I by Talbot Percy Amaury 1926.
" The whole of what is now Lagos Colony seems to have been under the domination of Benin before the arrival of the first Portuguese explorer Sequeira in 1472.
It is marked as Benin territory on the earliest maps, and it is unlikely that the Portuguese who knew Lagos River, and neighborhood well , would have been in error on such a point."

LegendHero:
The Aworis who are the true owner of Lagos have spoken
.
I love this. The Oba of Benin should stop doing nonsense and he should immediately come back to Ife where his crown originated from



Like I have said, if Benin have found Lagos like the Oba allege falsely, they would have had ancestral land in Lagos and they would have been one of the actual Omo onile.

Kabiyesi have just reiterated that now. Oba of Benin should come and tell his his own father ancestral land in Lagos.

Precolonial maps of Lagos have Benin written all over them:

This more than settles it. Lagos was a part of Benin.
