Encyclopedia Britannica: The Portuguese first landed on Lagos Island in 1472. Trade developed slowly,...

Oba Ado, a Benin man became first King in Lagos (island) in 1630...

Who were the Portuguese trading with from 1472 if Benin found Lagos?

A fact of history confirmed that Benin invaders fought the Aworis for 40 years before they could win Lagos (island) with the help of Portuguese.

Ife sent a warrior called Lagelu to assist the Aworis. Lagelu was able to conquer them and was rewarded and became king in Ibadan.

Later Benin army succeeded after 40 years of trying with the help of the Portuguese.

Biodun556. Please change the Title to something more respectful like Asari gives Oba History lesson

If Benin attacked Lagos the Ijebu would have drowned them all

If you know Wetin Ibadan eye see for Ijebu people hand

That was why Ibadan had to develop a Strategy that ensured that whenever they fought against the Ijebu

they were very far away from Water , Rivers, Lagoon or ocean

Ijebu are very dangerous with Water Warfare

It was called Bight of Benin by the British because that is where the British gathered all the slaves they took through Benin kingdom and take them to Europe. That was why they named it after Benin.

Benin Kingdom was the most powerful kingdom in the south when the Europeans came to the area now called Nigeria

You have to study the water ways before you conclude

According to Asari docubo, it was ijaw people that ferried the Benin soldiers so they couldn't have passed through ijebu

Bini was busy heavily involved in selling Ibo slaves to the whites. Hence bight of Benin or less common slave coast.

Bini was busy heavily involved in selling Ibo slaves to the whites.

No that was the Ijaws doing that.

Benin were exporting rubber and palm cannel to the Europeans.

The Sokoto jihad was responsible for the slave trade.

The arrival of the British
The Sokoto jihad and the Yoruba wars stimulated the slave trade at a time when the British were actively trying to stop it. Slaves formerly had been traded for European goods, especially guns and gunpowder, but now the British encouraged trade in palm oil in the Niger delta states, ostensibly to replace the trade in slaves. They later discovered that the demand for palm oil was in fact stimulating an internal slave trade, because slaves were largely responsible for collecting palm fruits, manufacturing palm oil, and transporting it to the coast, whether by canoe or by human porterage. The palm oil trade was also linked to the Sokoto jihad and the Yoruba wars, because many warriors recognized the importance of slaves not only as soldiers and producers of food to feed soldiers but additionally as producers of palm oil to trade for European dane guns and other goods.

Bini started selling Ibo slaves before the Ijaws and the Itsekiri joined later on.

Benin were very heavy Slave Traders

It was later on that they gave it up preferring to use the slaves as Soldiers or farm hands

Lagos Isale Eko was a notorious Slave Trade post used by of Oba Benin

This was decades if not centuries later. At this point, the British had banned slave trade.

Oba Ado was Awori Yoruba from Isheri

His father was the Ashipa of Isheri

Oba of Benin was his Maternal Grandfather

There is a lot of difference between a Father and Grandfather

The Portuguese Embassy in Abuja has already done a Newspaper Interview to say it was Awori Yoruba that they found in Lagos in 1472

MrColdsweat:

Which fight are they trying to instigate?. The fight between Benin and Ijaws over gelegele, was it instigated by Yorubas?. Oba of benin couldn't install a king at gelegele, the ijaws stopped him right there at his own backyard.

Yoruba had been trading with the Portugese centuries before Benins came to Lagos. Is that not straightforward enough?

Bini was already known in the world then just like the Oyo. During the height of slave trade by the Bini, a son of the Oba of Bini was even sent for training in Portugal in the 16th century. I can't remember his name but it was the one that commited suicide.
