Raf4:1. I never said Lagos was founded in 1630. I showed you a map published in 1630, your brain is very confused. 2. The earliest maps and records of the region which mention Lagos all claim Lagos is a part of Benin 3) once again, you confuse Benin kingdom with its capital city (Benin city). Lagos is a part of Benin kingdom ! Map of Africa published in 1747 below. 4. It is like your brain can't register. You have to be corrected several times on the same thing. All I have just said here, I already told them to you. 5. Your intelligence is so limited, yet you think you belong in discussions about history. 6. Your onis are liars, they always have been, they were originally priests and they lied themselves into being considered kings and now they are calling themselves emperors 🤣 the same Ife which nobody can find in ancient maps 😂 when was Ife ever an empire as opposed to a small village?

Raf4:I'm quoting papers written by people who witnessed the era. Why is this so difficult for you to understand? Why do I constantly have to repeat it ? Do you understand the meaning of "eyewitness written documents" ? I have not quoted anything said by anybody who didn't live in the era which we are studying ? What does this have to do with the words of the Oba of Benin, his father or his grand father? I'm not like you ! I'm not quoting people of today ! I'm quoting people who died hundreds of years ago but before they died, they left published notes of what they saw in our region. The only liars are you and your Oni. It is you whom is quoting people of today to describe things which happened hundreds of years ago. It is you who still can't understand that ogiso is a fvcking fairytale. It is you who don't understand that the written form of language which we have today is not indigenous to us ! It is a recent thing which we got from the European ! You keep alluding to "records" which some "elders" are supposed to have. There is no such thing ! Your onis are liars, they always have been, they were originally priests and they lied themselves into being considered kings and now they are calling themselves emperors 🤣 the same Ife which nobody can find in ancient maps 😂 when was Ife ever an empire as opposed to a small village? At this point you are extremely deluded. I can't talk to you anymore since you are not making any sense. I doubt it is possible to be dumber than you in this world, I even wonder how you managed to live long enough to learn how to write. |

Re: Oldest History Books Say Yoruba Not Benin Founded Lagos by Raf4: 9:56pm On Dec 07, 2023 |
Ghostagain: Open your mind to learning and stop being delusional. You said Bini founded Lagos and I said not possible. Why? Because the 1st oba of Lagos was installed circa 1630, while Portuguese already came to Lagos, met Awori people there and established trading contacts with them as far back as 1472. 1 Like |

Ghostagain: The nonsense links of your village market square gossip can only satisfy the appetite of dullard like you. You're not talking to fools like those in your enclave that you can cook all sorts of lies for. The Portuguese have it in their archives the records of their encounter with Aworis in Lagos in 1472, when your oba didn't even have any idea or knowledge of the place, yet you want me to believe your idle talk of founding same Lagos about 2 centuries later. 1 Like 1 Share |

Omobude244: In your widest day dreams. Even in the arrangement of kings according to their seniority, your oba is not even among the first 5. Ooni of Ife, Sultan of Sokoto, Alaafin of Oyo, Awujale of Ijebu, Olowu of Orile Owu, before your Oba of Bini is considered probably after Shehu of Borno. 1 Like |

Abagworo: A thourough researcher is your slave who goes on and on putting up information you never know to exist gut which you will keep putting down with all the verbal tricks in the book, Ive done that with macof and tao11 and I know where it led me with those bunch of psychopaths. From Western banks of the Niger to the Atlantic as far as ancient Dahome just to be conservative with my claims, people speaking "Anago" or "Ayonu" were identifies by one name at a time by their neighbours, although they ascribe city state identities to themselves, but like the English is made up of Angle, Welsh, Celtic and Saxon, they were all "English" (from Angle-land to England) to we outsiders. Its left to you to tell how foreigners discriminate an "Awori" from "Oyo" as far as Timbuktu as far back in time, when the closest neighbour in Dahome refers all as Anagonu. |

Thebadpolitican: The elders in your village are fraud. Your oba's fraudulent claim made him to be confined into a cubicle of his hut palace, claiming he no dey travel, he no dey go on transfer. He knows for sure if he show face for public functions he will be seated far behind the likes of Ooni, Alaafin, Sultan, Awujale, Alake etc. This is what he is running away from. |

Do not let these fraudulent nonentities, trying tooth and nail to snatch victory from the top, drag you into roforofo fight. I understand why they have to be set straight and educated because if lies are repeated often enough, gullible people believe themselves. They have been ignored for too long. Do you really think they do not know they are liars and fraud that never had tangible history until Oba displaced their Ogiso. Even their own Ogiso known to the minorities within them as wicked, has been denied. Raf4: 1 Like |

Christistruth03: LOL the yorubas people were the ones that named lagos curomo You don't get eko is the short version of the original called eko-nuahme mispronounced by Europeans as curomo |
Re: Oldest History Books Say Yoruba Not Benin Founded Lagos by Christistruth03: 12:28pm On Dec 09, 2023 |
Thebadpolitican: Eko is the way the yoruba Ijebu pronounced ereko after ereko Market on the Island where King Kosoko's European and Slave Markets were located and where he traded with the Ijebu who sold him slaves from the hinterland Eko (ereko) means field in yoruba and erekosun means Island ereko Market is still on lagos Island today! There is eko Ende (field at the back ) and eko Ajala ( Ajala's field) Towns in Osun State . eko Ende was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878 against the Ilorins By the way Benin is from a Yoruba Word Ile Ibinu which Prince Oranmiyan of Ile Ife called them but we're are not interested in dragging Benin or it's History with them

cevek11:Most of the yoruba guys in here are either kids, either mentally ill. The discussion was over the moment I presented evidence which proves Lagos was just a part of Benin. They still want to argue, against irrefutable evidence. You can see in their comments that they think this is a fight instead of a historical research exercise. The yorubas are not interested in history. They are playing a game, and I am too old to play silly games. The main mission of many yorubas on social media is to destroy the field of west African history and replace it with ethnocentric yoruba fairytales. |

Procashtips:Is it possible that these guys don't understand the meaning of the verb "to found" ? In many of their online papers, and on social media they seem very confused. First of all they deliberately misquote the Oba of Benin. Then they confuse "to found" with "to find". |
