Hypocrisy. The water slum that has long been talked about from Oworo, Briga all the way stre thing towards Lagos Island, that comstitutes an eyesore for the international community when they drive thru from the airport to the island, what has been done about it ?


Go to Kara bridge axis, the entire market has formed what is going to be an edemic if not put under control as market men from pooping directly into the waterbody, to slaughtering and disposing if dead animals amd their wastes to massive amounts of open defecation so much so that the color of the water body surrounding the area has turned fully dead..


What has been done about this ?

They should have gone to build their mansions there, to avoid the Lagos State demolishers.

Phantom233:
It's not about how much you budget but what you actually do with the money. Even if we're given 500billion dollars yearly, our extremly corrupt and wicked Apc political rulers and Allies will reloot the monies without any tangible results

Shameless corrupt thing, you think by mentioning APC you are exempted, or are you not Nigerian?

Because in spite of the highest allocation from the FAAC in the past 8 years, this year included it was APC that managed the money for Pdp who have been @ the helms of Delta State for the past 24 years?

Keep deceiving yourself, corrupt Agbadorian Almijiri.

stormborn28:
In fact I'm total perplexed, amazed, and flabbergasted. For an individual to become a senator and then go on to become president is an achievement in the eyes of our shameless political elites calls for their psychological evaluation

Democracy in action.

BeigJawnson:
So he set up a finance committee, oh okay ... But he is the committee abi? Or your money is part of the money donated? So if the committee gave audit of the money? Will that make you vote for him with the hatred inside of you? How many audit APC did before you push your support and voted for Tinubu?

When is he gonna give an audit of campaign donations, and campaign expenses as promised by Gringory himself?

Ogene001:
But una talk say him don go into hidding.
Check this picture, see all eyes on him. The fountain of economic knowledge

Yet Obiano never called him for advice, neither has Professor Soludo?

I thought Charity they say begins @ home?

Again Lagos island the smallest Local government area in Lagos was not founded by the Bini.

It was a settlement of Awori (Aromire) before the Bini arrived.

The Bini discovered Lagos island through an expedition looking for the king of Mahin who had lost in battle to the ishekiris and Bini.

After a brief battle the Binis established their outpost on the Tomato farm of the Awori chiefs and made a deal for Awori chiefs (idejo) to keep their land as long as they accept Bini imperal rule, which they agreed.

The idejos are now kings of Ikoyi, Oniru etc.

Apapa on other hand was the port of Oyo empire fully used to export trade until the collapse of the Empire.


The factual statement is Lagos oba has Bini origin not that Bini founded Lagos.

Agreed, you are correct, Lagos is no man’s land, a lot of settling tribes have claims to it.

Limitless72:
I KNOW ITS BECAUSE YOURE USELESS AND DUMB THAT WHY YOUR PARENTS DIDNT SEND YOU TO SCHOOL
THE OBA OF BINI IS A COLONY OF Yoruba LAND WHO WAS CONQURED BY THE BRITISH IN LESS THAN 3MONTHS
WITH THE KIND OF MIGHT AND TERRITORIAL INFLUENCE YOU LOT DELUSIONALLY ALLOT TO BINI KINGDOM ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD PUT IN SERIOUS RESISTANCE FOR DECADES OR EVEN ONE YEAR OR EVEN DEFEAT THE BRITISH TO PROVE THE WEIGHT AND MIGHT THE KINGDOM POSSES AND LIVE TO ITS NAME

OR DIDNT YOUR READ OF ETHIOPIA AND HOW THE FOUGHT GALLANTLY AND REFUSED TO BE COLONIZED

BUT THE SAID KINGDOM WAS DESTROYED AND RAZED DOWN AND THIER OBA WAS CAPTURED LIKE SARDINE AND SENT ON EXILE LIKE ORDINARY CHIPS

ALSO IF YOUR PARENTS HAD SENT YOU TO SCHOOL YOUD HAVE KNOWN THE IGBOS TERRITORY UNLIKE THE BINI N YARIBAS DIDNT REALLY OPERATE A MONARCHICAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT BUT A THEOCRATIC AND DEMOCRATIC ONE. A MORE COMPLEX AND ADVANCED SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT AND THIS GAVE THE BRISTISH TOUGH TIME TO CONQUER

THRY FOUGHT EKUMEKU WAR FOR 30 SOLID YEARS BEFORE THEY COULD SUBDUE THAT IGBOID KINGDOM, THEY FOUGHT AROS FOR CLOSE TO TWO YEARS BEFORE THEY COULD SUBDUE. AND EACH ACCOUNT OF THE EVENT WERE DESCRIBED AS A "FIERCE RESISTANCE".

THE BRITISH EVEN AFTER VICTORY HAD TO CREATE WARRANT CHIEFS AND THEY WERE ALSO FIERCELY RESISTED THAT ITS EVEN LED TO A RIOT ORCHESTRATED AND CARRIED OUT BY WOMEN- ABA WOMEN RIOT OF 1929

THEY WAR BETWEEN THE BRISTISH AND BINI KINGDOM WAS NOT FIRECE. IT WAS MORE LIKE A WALKOVER FOR THEM

SO NEXT TIME SHUT THE HELL UP AND PUT SOME RESPECT TO THE IGBO NATION

LEST I FORGET THE BIAFRA FORCES ALSO CAPTURED BENIN IN LESS THAN 24HRS WITH THE OBA OF BINI AS HEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL COUNCIL. YOU DEY MENT

Please never compare the great Bini Empire to anything Igbo which has no dynasty.

We all studied history in primary & junior secondary school.

Nonsense.

Padipadi:
Firstly you are rude and lacked manner of approach. It's expected of you cos you are probably a bini boy. Secondly, I know what I m saying and had facts. I posted evidence in the post you quoted.
Thirdly and to address your points, Ashipa was a Yorubaman who took comfort with Benins. The name alone bearing Yoruba should signify he's a Yoruba man. He's an Awori man. When Ashipa with support from Oba of Benin at that time fought with the other chief who's also another strong man like Ashipa in Lagos, they defeated him. That chief is Olofin. His descendants are filling Isheri-Olofin area in Lagos till today. So that was what introduced Benin influence in Lagos. Lagos has always been a Yoruba settlement. The first time Lagos existed was around 12th-13th century when some descendants of Oduduwa were told to go and look for sea water to cure the king's partial blindness. That was what brought Olofin descendants to look for sea water. Some stayed back in those Lagos Island place and became the Awori tribe of today.
Benins who were looking for sea routes for their own slave trade mixed with them. Ashipa who appeared in the picture also got contact with Benins and somehow had access to their palace. It's so easy and straight forward story.
It's dumb to say Benin this in Lagos, Benin that without understanding when it occurred, where the influence reached and where it declined.

Answer the question, why were all the Obas of Lagos before1861 buried in Benin, not until after the British Empire seized Eko from the Benin Empire afterwards post 1861 buried in Lagos?

Mind you I am not Bini, just a student of history, & next time please learn to write in paragraphs.

https://guardian.ng/sunday-magazine/lagos-oba-traces-origin-to-benin/

Padipadi:
Not those ones alone o, it's time Yorubas tell Benin what the truth is and who influenced who past.
Benin has so many Yoruba names, insignia etc that they can't trace it's meaning in Benin language, words, alphabets, sentence etc except in Yoruba language.
The Olu of Warri that mad boy called Reno is taking about, what's the meaning of Olu?
Isn't it Oluomo? What's the meaning of Olu in Warri and Benin language?
Those Warri people too, are they not influenced by Yoruba cultures? No be the same culture wey colonised their Benins come spread from Benin to Warri?
If Olu of Warri is the son of Oba of Benin who's a Yorubaman by blood, then Olu of Warri sef ba Yorubaman. So if I say Yorubas owned Warri, I use my ogogoro resembled the Oba wey komot his palace go talk trash for Lagos.

To Lagos matters, all insignia, language of all things in Lagos depict Yorubas. The issue of Benin there is explained below with evidences.

Lagos (Lagos de curamo) is a Portuguese word meaning lakes. As you all know, Lagos has many lakes. Also, in Yoruba language, the word Eko or Oko means Farm.
Evidence: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lagos#:~:text=Lagos%20means%20%22lakes%22%20in%20Portuguese,%22%20and%20later%20%22Lagos%22.

Ancient Lagos was used for farming by Olofin who was the first ruler of Lagos before Ashipa. Both Olofin and Ashipa are Yorubamen.
The first Oba of Lagos is Ashipa a man from Awori tribe of Yorubas.
He went to Benin as a war Chief cos he had dispute with Olofin, another Yoruba chief who was the ruler of Lagos at that time. Around this time, the Oba of Benin had trae routes from Benin to Lagos & probably saw it as an opportunity to annex Lagos cos it's a place where trade was booming at that time cos of it's nearness to the sea. It's to be noted that Ashipa had access to Benin palace via trade. So he was assisted with warriors who defeated Olofin. Ashipa, a Yorubaman became first king of Lagos and his descendants were kings till today.

So if the Oba of Benin that made recent talk must talk, he should only talk about the influence of Benin in Lagos Island which happens btw the fight of Ashipa and Olofin and not that Benins owned or founded Lagos.

Lastly, Lagos is Yorubaland. The language, culture, tradition and everything is Yoruba and it's foundation is Yoruba. However at various points, it has mixed with other tribes. Even in present day, Igbos, Hausas dominated some parts of the state and I hope in future, Hausas or Igbos won't come and lay some claims.

It's important to know history and understand history with common sense.
For Yorubas, a pdf of their history can be gotten here. It's named History of Yorubas by Rev Samuel Johnson. It's the most concrete do far as at 2023 AD. Forgotten Books

History of the Yorubas

It seems you do not know what you are talking about, no one is disputing the fact that the Aworis from present day Ogun state, where the first settlers in present day Lagos.

When the Portuguese arrived Eko wasn’t it the Binis that they meet as the Government in place?

Secondly why where all the first Obas of Lagos including Ashipa, & Olofin buried in Benin, until after the annexation of Lagos by the British in 1861? After which Obas were buried in Lagos State.

Thirdly the British Empire seized Lagos from the Benin King in 1861, & handed it over to the Federal Government of Nigeria 99 years later in 1960.

Racoon:

Did he kicked against it? Did he resigned because of the rip off? Why is he behaving as if he knows nothing about how the air Nigeria corruption happened?

Please Shut up Nonsensical Hypocrite, not surprised that this nonsense is coming from you disobidient Pessimist, it isn’t as if you don’t know any better.

Cos in my mind I’m a blind man doing time, look 👀 to my future cos my past is all behind me, is it a crime, to fight for what is mine, everybody’s dying tell me what’s the use in trying, I’ve trapped since birth, cautious cos I’m cursed & fantasy of my family in a hearse, & they say is the white man I should fear, but it’s my own kind doing all the killing here.

I can’t lie, ain’t no love for the other side, jealously in his eyes, niggas wished I died, o my lord tell me what I’m living for, everybody’s trapped they got me knocking on heaven’s doors.

And all my memories, I’m seeing niggas bleed, recollect your thoughts don’t get caught up in the mix cos the media is full of dirty tricks, only god can judge me.

100 of years before you were even conceived, no be today.

Gajagojo:
This is fake

Where did you get it from?

Fake like your imagination, Nonsensical Pessimist.

Beremx:
Were the Binis not the Eko tribe? If they were then they made up the largest size of the population

Logically, it seems you are correct with your assertion because we are made to believe the Aworis are the original indigenes of Lagos, so definitely they are not the Eko Tribe.

Validated:
Who cares, I have some yorubas as tenants paying rent, agency agreement, caution fees and security fee to me.

Yoruba tenants In Lagos South West Nigeria, or in the South East of Nigeria?

Oghene1st:
Like say them get option. You want to pull what you did in Kano in South South especially Rivers State? Try am and see your crude oil revenue go down in this hard period.

People in South South hate slavery even with your money. I mean these are people who were selling people from other parts of Nigeria to the Whites na. From Edo down to Akwa Ibom were slave dealers.

Who he grandparents deal on slaves nai you wan turn slave. They hate it like mad brother.

Please Shut up, Confused enzyme.
