Never4getU:


Paying ishakole doesn't explain how Edo founded Lagos. Nigeria became a slave center for the European and Portuguese before evaluating, should dey now say they own Lagos because even the name Lagos was given to buy the Portuguese. They could try to twist the history as u lots are trying to steal our ancestral home simply because of the juicy enjoyment in Lagos.

Omobude244:

ozuor
we own Lagos
cry

Apart from the fact that the Oba Of Lagos is of Ijesha lineage since

Ologun Kutere who was Ijesha like his father Alagba who was Princess Erelu Kuti's Husband

It was even ife that founded benin

cool.Yes!!

ife founded benin!! Including the Ogiso dynasty!!!


obagodo the first Ogiso that founded Igodomigodo Kingdom that is now benin was an ife man
Igodomigodo is now benin


Ogiso obagodo founded Igodomigodo Kingdom with his followers from ife
obagodo was Yoruba for Oba Igodo

SayNo2SmallPrik:

Na Yoruba get Anambra. Weep

raskymonojendor:
It has always been an Awori settlement and the Ijebus as well around the Epe, Ikorodu and some Lekki areas. The bini soldiers came over 100 years after the Awori had settled in the land. Much ado over nothing.

Anyway, Lagos is covered by Ogun, then Ondo. It seems God knew many strange tribes would try to covet the land and eledumare decided to protect it with two Yoruba states.

2nd picture is the tiny piece of land (coloured red) the Benin occupied when they arrived with their soldiers.
I've always told people that the real aborigines of Lagos are the Aworis and the Ijebus... Others in include the Ogus(Eguns) from Badagry and the Binis who forcefully occupied small portion of land on the island

How does a tribe start a city or settlement or community then leave? I am so confused by that phenomenon.

FreeStuffsNG:
It remains a shame that there was even an attempt to use dishonest means to revise history and suggest that the original owners of the land are now the bini settlers. Haba!What a fraud!

It's so sad and it's a lesson to communities currently giving land to settlers to ensure that they keep records very well like our Yoruba forebears did. Kudos to our forebears for keeping accurate records for a period like this. They had the foresight that some of the descendants of the settlers may some day lie that they own the land.

But for these history books that documented who owns Lagos, none of our forebears would have ever proven to us that the had an inkling that some day the descendants of bini visitors in Lagos will some day covet and brazenly lie that they own Lagos. Ha! Aiye ma nika o.

Asari Dokubo was absolutely right in his account and his anger at the Oba of Benin was because the Oba of Benin even removed the assistance his Ijaw gave to the Benin who attacked that part of Yorubaland.

It's been one lie after another further diminishing the Benin in the eyes of many. From the bursting of the Benin lie that the Oba of Benin never leaves the palace , internet era came and exposed the blatant lie. Next was lie that they did not originate from Ile Ife and heads of past Oba of Benin were not buried in Ile Ife but the Yoruba elders were so clever to preserve the history and location in Ile Ife till date. The 3rd lie is the attempt to claim a land that does not belong to them not knowing that the Yoruba documented it well.

The only reason I think they lie in this manner is pride. Now pride has led to fall.

Below is a picture that shows how far behind the Oba of Benin is behind the Ooni of Ife. This picture, all other evidences including the Orun Oba Ado in Ile Ife and oldest history books is the triumph of history over lies. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Well Yorubas own Lagos today but the binis & ijaws were there before them. Even archeological artifacts found in places in Lagos gives evidence to that effect.

You want to talk about history of Lagos and you are quoting a book written in 1913 by Yoruba Revisionists.
Like seriously
And some of you dont even go near that part that talks about Aworis paying tax to the Benins.
One of the many truths that prevails but you cant accept it.

ClearFlair:

Yorubas never founded Lagos. Just regular misinformation

zombieHUNTER:


we know Benin people originally owns Lagos

no history book written by a cone head will erase it

Boyooosa:
“War historians will describe what happened as seizure by conquest. That is a relationship that does not align with Oba of Benin’s claim of founding Lagos and of Benin being its source. You don’t wage a war against non-existent people. The fact of Lagos’s existence provoked the attack and subjugation from Benin forces.

This is logical and reasonable...thank God civilization did not allow portugal and UK to lay claims on Nigeria's ownership/foundation🤔🤕

Omobude244:

this ozuor done come again with half baked story

we the edos founded Lagos

the so called oduduwa that found ile ife was a benin prince

no amount of twisting and lies can change that

Ijaya123:




And who was the first Oba of Benin?

Omobude244:

wetin concern me if u own anambra or any other state from east

but one thing is sure
we own Lagos
