She herself not a bonafide Lagosian. U can't distort our history or rewrite it for us. The dosumus aren't aboriginals of Lagos.

The Dosumus aren't even Awori their forefathers are Benins reason she's trying to steal Lagos for her linage but we refused to accept this as our history is clear and in sooner time we must make available to the general public of our origin to Lagos and the Benins are obviously delusional

Which your history? What she said seems to be the original tale.
You can explain how your ancestors paid isakole to the benin. The beni knew that area b4 your ancestors left Ife or whatever.
We ijebus from Eastern part of lagos have also dominated those places (Epe and ibeju )regarded as ijebu in past.

Kavod:

hmmmn.. Do you know how old benin kingdom is? You think the British named it ancient for no reason?... Benin had walls twice the size of the great china walls, Then you cant trade from the south it had to reach lagos port. So most bini's settled there as facilitators of trade..... long before there was any yoruba there... Hence you go to the slums of lagos i mean the riverine sides and its mostly benin people who can trace their origin. Dude you would be amazed discussing with few people from the slums. Them de pack history as f say na gold

I believe you are Osu.
Well,let me burst your bubble.
The great Yoruba race founded Benin and Lagos.


Oba Eweka 1 of Benin and all subsequent Obas of Benin were Yoruba.
The first king of Lagos was a Yoruba man from Benin who met the Aworis who were also Yorubas.

History cannot be twisted because you want to cheat the Ogiamien family who fortunately,has evidence with them.

Yoruba founded (Oba of ) Benin ....... Ogiamien of Benin..

High Chief Esotericist Monday Wehere, JP explained further: “What is today known as Benin Kingdom started as Igodomigodo nine centuries ago. It was founded by Ogiso Igodo and it existed for 300 years before King Orominyan of Ife invaded Benin. During that invasion, Orominyan fought without any success. Before then, Orominyan came to Benin with a strategy. He brought a large number of Yoruba men into Benin long before the proper expedition. These men went into relationships with our daughters who started having children for them. By the time Orominyan came to attack Benin in 11th Century, the number of the Yoruba-born children was high. In spite of this, however, he still failed in his attack.

When Orominyan was returning to Ile-Ife without achieving his aim, as one of the strategies they invented, he deliberately impregnated a princess, the daughter of an “Enigie” – duke or king in Benin under the then Ogiso. The princess’ name was Elimide. He left her behind before returning to Ife. It was Princess Elimide that gave birth to the first Oba of Benin, Oba Eweka 1, who, after becoming an adult, was invited back to Ile-Ife, alongside other children they had secretly produced through our daughters without our knowing their game-plan.

Up till today, they still live in a place called Yoruba Quarters in Benin City. It was at that Ile-Ife meeting, which had Eweka in attendance that these children were told the reasons they were given birth to in Benin, that it was Oba Orominyan’s desire to use them to overthrow the then Ogiso Erebo and his dynasty, which was then known as Igodomigodo. They were all made to swear to an oath never to betray Eweka, who was to become the Oba of Benin, if they eventually succeeded.

Expectedly, this particular war was protracted as many people died on both sides. The carnage was much. It was, however, difficult for the then Ogiso to use extra force, as he felt his grandchildren were being used in the war. He kept saying the children being used by the Oba to prosecute his war were children of Benin daughters, even though they were now supporting their father’s side to fight the Ogiso.

It was at this point a truce was called. As there were no victor and no vanquished, Ogiso Erebo was told there was no way this large number of children born by Benin women for Yoruba men could be repatriated, since they had already been integrated into the heart of Igodomigodo. He was told the only way to maintain peace was for him to divide Igodomigodo into two kingdoms. Let the oba take a part, while he would hold on to the other part.

Even the British know who fathered Benin

It is not Cowardice that makes the Leopard retreat backwards before it leaps

I thought Erelu ( which is a title of Yorubas by the way) said Bini is landlocked.

So how come Bini flew so many kingdom to find a tiny kingdom in a far away place?

Abi you think people travel by buses then ?

Ask Aworis same question. There is some called discovering new lands and waters by expedition.

Awori history can be traced as they covered the entire Lagos but apparently Bini flew to Lagos island by Jet and founded it.

Aeon olobe !

Eriokanmi:
You're right. Binis came from Ile Ife. We all know that. Funny enough, just as some people are distorting the history of early settlers of eko( now lagos), some edo people don't believe the binis came from ile ife.

I remember when Oba Ewuare II was going to be enthroned. Some people kicked against it by saying his ancestors were from yorubaland . They even displayed placards during protests .

Those were from the Ogiamien Royal family.
They were the Ogiso who also came from Ife.
History cannot be twisted for long.





Oba Eweka 1 of Benin and all subsequent Obas of Benin were Yoruba.
The first king of Lagos was a Yoruba man from Benin who met the Aworis who were also Yorubas.The Aworis also met Moba who were al#o from Ife but now called Aworis.
Everything still says Yoruba,Yoruba.
Yoruba extends to Dahomey..Republic of Benin,Ewe in Ghana,Ga in Ghana etc.

Mtcheeew, people have too much time on their hands lately

Iamgrey5:
For avoidance of doubt

Please check the map properly, one will see that when coming from Bini through the sea one will have to pass through Epe and Ibeju before getting to Lagos island and Eti-osa.

There is not a single land in Eti-osa that belongs to any Bini decendants.

So how on earth can you be the finding fathers of a place and those that came to meet you on your land now have more land than you?

How come you also speak their language not the other way round.

History has it that people who journed into a strange land often assimilate the language of their host, except the people coming in are the conquerors

So why is Lagos an exception.

Apapa the was under the control of the Oyo empire oh. See link below

https://wappp.org/our_publications/nigeria-the-apapa-gridlock-challenges-and-solution/

It is well understandable that they might have been a care avoidance of our territory by the benin. Even hour history does not have anything to do with the oyo empire.
So if the benin expansionist move futher west and avoided Ijebu territory despite encroaching ondo. Its most likely that they find more open space in the island.
Awujale would never take it likely if some kingdom start troubling the ijebu waterway.
From your map you can see how big the original ijebu territory was, all through the lagoon to ikorodu down to sagamu. Its well understood why the benin chose Lagos island. To avoid ijebu trouble.

Aeon olobe !

So they flew and awori paid them taxes?

obviously there was intermarriage and it was only an extension of their kingdom which they weren't interested in fully settling down there like the aworis bt rather making a province to collect tax.

The intermarriage allowed for kingdom mixing with the Yorubas and they left it as that also after the taxes ended. So they have a shared history in lagos only.

But the binis founded lagos. atleast those parts

Lagos was under Oyo Empire, even the whites paid tax of Lagos to Alaafin.
This is from history books.
This Benin owned Lagos funny o.

Iamgrey5:
Bro seems you have problem reading.

Lagos ruling house can claim to be wherever they come from, but they can't claim they founded Lagos just like Fulanis can't claim they founded Kano.

So who founded Lagos

All I know is Tinubu, mc oluomo and that gentleman called kunle poly founded Lagos.

Kukutenla:

That's why I said you're an illiterate
Did your ancestors know the source and sink of river Niger?
Were they aware of how long and deep it is?
Did they know its tributaries and how it flows.
That's what it is meant by discovery of river Niger. Illiterate

No be only source, dummy. Because they gave it a name, it therefore means they discovered it? Same way they they discovered the bight of benin and the bight of biafra, mumu.

Fortune109:
😊

Even though I'm a mix (Benin mother, Lagos/Yoruba Father)...

Hope you guys understand that Benin was an expansionist Empire like Oyo Empire, British Empire before...and they (Benin) were once in charge of Lagos by Conquest...that doesn't mean they own Lagos alright!



Lagos was/is a Yoruba land!

that the king of Lagos bears the title Oba tells a lot

KingKO22:
So Bini now pass through Ore, Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu to claim land in far away land ?

Why is there no single heritage or houses that belongs to Bini in Lagos

Why is Ife empire spread from that Ife to all over Yoruba land and Bini the greatest empire that time couldn't conquer the Ore rather they only conquer Lagos 😂😀😀🤣

Only IPOB are getting carried away by this oral proclamation without any prove.

All in all, Yoruba are now the land sellers in Lagos and their is nothing any IPOB or Binin can do about.
Whatever story you have doesn't matter bcs even the Binin are using Oba as king and no Lagos Oba using anything that has to do with Edo kingdom.


Forget the nonsense story. Lagos na our own.

Stop saying rubbish. As an ijebu from Lagos east. I don't recognize ife history. And erelu is right with whatever she says.
Ijebu is Ijebu egun is egun. Its only awori that has the ife linkage in today lagos

Supremos:


It seems a lot of people knows the truth

Yorubas as a tribe have a history of deliberately deleting history of Kings that didn't do well.

I am a descendant of a man who once ruled owu but was never mentioned in owu land history. My family carry "olowu" as surname.

raskymonojendor:
Those claiming Bini owned Lagos when all history books by colonialist have it as the Aworis, Ogu (Egun), and the Ijebus.

Stop this your trick. The benin claim they use Lagos island as a trade route not as a settlement. When the aworis came they came as settlers.

I have notice some people love distorting history in this Yoruba land. And we must not allow that to happen most especially those with the ife heritage.

TruthsFM:
exactly, that’s what she’s looking for, she’s just a clueless attention seeker that never know history at all. Instead of her to read Lagos history extensively, he’s just blowing lies and propaganda here. No one take her serious at all. Lagos is been founded by the Awori tribes.

Why are you all this stupid?

That Lagos is Yorubaland is beyond Contention


Document from sir alfred moloney
British Colonial Governor of Lagos
Confirming Lagos is Yorubaland in 1890

These are not neccessary, no one is saying its not yoruba land. It seems non lagosian just want to twist history with the help of some awori because they claim to come from ife. The place was a trade route for the benin b4 the awori chose to settle down there. Its quite obvious that ijebu border distancing isale eko from Benin territory did not make them settle down there.
