Bini has become irrelevant in today's scheme of things. The entire population of Bini people is not up to that of my local government area in Anambra

They are itsekiri sounding names.

You dey mad. Bini eediot would have to jump over Ondo and Ogun before they can lay claim to Lagos. If you don't mind yourself, we go scatter that Bini sef. All your Bini kings heads are in Ile ife after all.

Oguso goat.

Kagawa10:
See this one. I already stated that only the royal throne has Bini blood, not the natives.

Besides, we all know why the children of the royal house have been emphasizing on their Bini blood after some Yoruba folks had wanted to forcefully remove Oba Akinolu and his royal families. It was a royal house politics which didn't concern the natives of eko island and these natives are the Aworis.

Question that should be asked is what bini culture did the Bini king leave in the royal house let alone at eko island at large? None. Because the royal house wasn't even a pure Bini blood to begin with. It has been diluted right from the start when the first king married a Yoruba woman who gave birth to a female child who eventually married a Yoruba man that replaced the Edo king.

What I'm saying is that the fact that the Awori once had a Bini king over them doesn't make them become foreigners in their own land. Except you have turn into a British or have your land become a British land as a result of once having British leaders in Nigeria, you're only speaking trash.

Kagawa10:
OSU rat, tell us how the Bini jumped over Ondo and Ogun state to own Lagos state which is farther from Edo state? You don mad. Tell us any Bini culture in lagos.

LazyGold:
Awori Own Lagos and Not Benin, we are talking about the Original Settler on a Land, not some terrorists from far away places that came to the Land before they were chased Out. Dahomey people paid tributary Status and Royalty to Oyo Empire does that means Benin Republic is also part of Yoruba Land?

LazyGold:
You know that's a Lie, Awori were the first settler in Lagos and we have told this History many times but you people still keep the disrespect coming. No Yoruba Change History because all the Evidence is there

LazyGold:
Lagos belong to the Awori people not benin and Ijaw, but that Rant of Lagos is a no man's Land will be the thing to get you in trouble i promise you.

Bro areas like Epe, isheri/ ikeja, Ibeju - lekki and Ikorodu amongst other numerous places had no contact with Bini kingdom and they had their own monarchs

Most Yorubas from this areas belongs to Yorubas of the ilaje, Awori, ijebu, some Egba and gun( a non Yoruba group from Dahomey)


The only Yorubas to have contacts with Bini were the Aworis on the island,


It is believed that in the quest to expand the Benin empire around the 16th century, the then oba of Bini ordered the invasion of lagos island, but on getting to the island the peaceful Aworis struck a deal with the Bini army.

They decided to pay tributes to the oba of Bini in return to keep their lands.

Thus, the oba of Lagos originated from Bini, but he doesn't own any land in Lagos. It still belongs to idejo chiefs ( the Awori chiefs).

However, the coming of the British put an end to payment of the tributes.


Read the full lagos history bruv.

Iamgrey5:
Stop reading fake history

The Yorubas in ibeju

ikorodu


Epe/ lekki


from ota, isheri to Ikeja



Even on the island the Benin monarch that ruled doesn't own any land it belonged to the idejo (Awori chiefs) A Yoruba clan also found in Ogun state.


I will agree with you that the Binis were the first non Yorubas to arrive at Lagos, not Igbos, not Hausas not even the British.

Go and read your history books
