So who founded Lagos

Aworis

Benin later came to impose themselves on the Aworis and forced them to pay royalties.

Those Royalty payment were stopped by the British. Therefore, making Oba of Lagos a ceremonial king because they don't actually have land in Lagos.

They simply established themselves as traditional governors over Aworis with the help of Bini Empire.

Zooposki:


Lol

This is very factual statement

Just as Bini imposed themselves on Aworis on Lagos island, Oyo empire imposed themselves on the Aworis in Apapa axis.

However, unlike Bini, Oyo empire prefer indirect rule. They choose a leader amongst the locals rather than impose an Oyo man on them.

Lol. Anyway, the real owners don send Oba to come warn una.

Shut up, your dad lied to you..

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!

They imposed themselves on the Aworis. It's in the history

The palace of Oba of Lagos was built on Awori's pepper farm.


It has simple as Abc

So how find you be the founder of a place that already exsisted.

u are now contradicting urself and the lady.

Binis didn't meet any aworis. Aworis cane from Ife.

How can strangers force u to pay taxes. unless they conquered ur territory. which made it theirs.

A place cab exist but not be inhabited or claimed.

try to read
before the aworis came, we were already there

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.

The woman in the Op is not Igbo.
Shouting IPOB is an escape route for dimwits like you once the issues at stake is above your pay grade.

Yorubafather:





You lied here, desist from twisting Lagos history, Yorubas please stop disgracing yourselves over this matter and accept the truth, what the Bini king said was nothing but truth

It's not true, but even if it was, right now Lagos is part of the Yoruba domain and there is nothing you and anyone can do about it. Focus on developing your own region and leave Lagos out of your greedy interest.

Binis are the actual owners of Lagos, all the development in Lagos like the light rail, seaports and Eko Atlantic City will be taken over by Binis whenever Nigeria disintegrates. Congrats to the Great Benin Kingdom

where's the contradiction?

Yes, they conquered them the Aworis and an agreement was reached to allow Aworis to keep their land as long as they accepted to pay Bini kingdom royalties.

This is why Aworis have the largest portion of land in Lagos island/ Eti-osa till date

This is a well documented history.

Talk is cheap.

Oba of Benin should come and point to his Father's house in Lagos

No problem. E go do una like magic. When you guys are cut off before you realize. Let your clerics keep running their mouths and you guys keep insulting other southerners and even indigenous lagosians.

Let us be realistic, Binis own lagos, let us concentrate on developing our other five Yoruba states. Since Binis are now part of Biafra, then Lagos is now in Part of Biafra Republic if Nigeria disintegrates.

I’m not trying to cause any issue, but the real owners of Lagos will rather cut off Yoruba Muslims from Oyo, Osun, Kwara etc before they cut off any Igbo or other Southerners. They know where their bread is buttered.

Kukutenla:

Dummy. I meant that the British who met Yorubas in Oyo should be speaking Yoruba right now. What we're discussing is acculturation. It's not set in stone. The Romans colonised so many lands but deliberately did not allow most areas they colonised to learn their language as a distinction between rulers and the ruled.
The British and French on the other hand chose to impose their language on their colonies.
You can't use that to decide who met who or when

You're still ignorant, you just admitted cultures differs yet you compare the Romans with the British. Go back to your comment that I responded to, you were seemingly asking why Yorubas ended up speaking English but you failed to state as opposed to what exactly?

Iamgrey5:
He is fighting common sense along with the Erelu.

Even in the palace of Oba of Lagos, Yoruba is used as the only language.

You know what they say, na over calcu dey worry most of us....Awon ogbon sodiq

Lagos was/is a Yoruba land!

Absolutely

NoSentimentNo:
I personally see Binis and Yorubas as one and same people.

The current generation likes to argue and fight over everything and the elders are not intervening to educate and guide.

There was a lot of interaction and connection between Binis and Yorubas before the advent of the Europeans and this is not limited to Lagos alone.

Ancient Lagos is not the entire Lagos State. The modern Lagos is an amalgam of towns with their own different histories and traditional institutions.
Also, the particular part of Lagos with "Bini History" is very well known. Ask the elders.

There should be no controversy

The lagos in question no pass lagos island and present day ikoyi/VI....


Ebute meta, surulere, yaba, ijora, all the way to mile 2, festac, ijanikin, to agbara, igbesa, ota etc are Awori land...

Badagry belong to the egun

Ikorodu, epe, ibeju, lekki ....belongs to the ijebus

Pakute:

Watch and see what will happen next, no benin lineage will ever wear that crown again.

So you have already accepted that Benin lineage is the ruling Obas of lagos. Long live on okporokporo. Lagos is own by Benin

How can someone migrate from Kwara, Oyo and Osun states and be claiming lagosian, just imagine the audacity of Yorubas. You guys better wake up from slumber, the real owners of Eko have showed up.

Pakute:

Watch and see what will happen next, no benin lineage will ever wear that crown again.

The only issue I see here is that the hole you are digging for others will be your burial ground. Lagos has and is disassociating from you guys or you think the Oba just came to Lagos for nothing.

Supremos:


Erelu Kuti IV of Lagos, Erelu Abiola Dosunmu, a direct descendant of the progenitors of Lagos kingship, is not a bonafide aboriginal lagosian?. You, who are you please?. She told you her fore father's were of Benin descent and that Aworis migrated from Ife, and were paying Royalty to the Benin kingdom.

What are you on? 😂

Erelu is not a Lagosians. We determines who are Lagosians. Don’t worry, as we move into future, we the Yorubas ll separate a real son from those who are foreigners. The game is on…


Everybody knows that the Benin came to settle down in the 16th century… It is on record! How can you come to settle in our land and begin to claim ownership. Does it make sense to you that the tiny Benin jumped over Ondo state and other SW state to own Lagos. The Ijebus, Aworis have been on ground before the Benin came to live with us. So the Bini cut Yorubaland in the middle cos we have the Yorubas on the other side of Lagos state as well in Benin republic. How come Bini people are not on the other either sides but only in d middle of the Yorubaland

Iamgrey5:

This is ur narrative. Lol

so Aworis who equally migrated from Ife own the lands that binis conquered? That's mean sm1 owned the land b4 aworis came.

Well that's totally different from her own narrative. she said Aworis met the binis there.

You migrated from Oyo, Osun etc you are now claiming another man's land, Are you guys not ashamed. The authentic owners of Lagos will soon take over their ancestral lands

Awori has been there since 1300, the Bini came there in 1640

Again this documented.

So two hundred years apart.

I hope you understand what two hundred years mean.

seunayantokun:


That's right. Conquest and exacting tributes do not mean you founded the place.

Exactly!

Zooposki:

Again

Oba of Benin should point to his Father's land in Lagos.

You can't be the founder of a place you don't have land.
