Where does the name Oba originated from? Who is Ado? Why are all the areas and street in the Lagos island named in Benin? Why were homage sent to Benin? The slaves that returned from Lagos, where they all Yoruba? They were Igbos, Hausa, ijaws etc. Can you write history of Lagos without the returned slaves? Have you ever wondered why Lagos is termed no man land? Everybody immigrated to Lagos and it was supervised and rule under the government
of the Benin warriors

Stop saying rubbish and rewriting history with false and nonsense info.

The Oba of Benin had an intermediary in Lagos who used to communicate with the Yorubas ( who was later called the Oba of a particular section of Lagos).

he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of an intermediary or secretary or diplomat of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas

wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and also part of Ogun then the Portuguese came and called the part of Ogun they traded with Lagos.. and it was governed by warring Yoruba tribes that's why the Oba of Benin intermediary called it war camp ( eko ).. over time the intermediary stopped been a Bini indigene and Yorubas took over the post and changed it to Oba of Lagos..

Who told you that Benin are original owner. Lagos was discovered by the Aworis who migrated from Ile IFE. In their quest for expansion some move from Ido to Otta and to Agbado to Isheri to Ikate to Isolo and etc. While in their living Ijebu merchandise who came on business join them and some stay in popular area called somolu bariga iyana oworo etc. Along the line Edo Prince came to do business with the foreign invaders the Portuguese and on discovery that their is loops hole in governing entity called Eko. They took the advantage and wage war and impose their Prince to rule Island not all Lagos. Lagos mainland are already have their kings and monarchial systems like Aworis in Isheri Isolo Otta etc. So the Brazil and Saro returned came and join in the quest.

So the truth is the real Indigenous peoples of Lagos are AWORIS who are descendant of OLOFIN OGUNFUNMINIRE the great grand children of ODUDUWA.

I don't watch false documentaries.. I look at what was on ground and decode the original events.

Slaves were never returned to Lagos. The people they call slaves are people the Bri:tish brought to replace the indigenes and make them more influencial than the indigenes and also gave them Yoruba names because the British did not want to empower and employ the indigenes..


That's why a part of Lagos island was the capital and was exclusive for Whyte people only and the "returned slaves". While the places outside the capital were left to decay.

codemaniacs:
Lagos was a Yoruba farm with the Oyo army protecting it anyone that says anything different is only rewriting history with false history.

You are dumb, Binis doesn't own Lagos and never owned Lagos, because they conquered Lagos back then dosen't mean that they owned Lagos, let's use portharcourt as a case study, when the British conquered rivers back then and named it after portharcourt a British man, those that mean that rivers state is owned by the British? Smh 😠

Apologise for what exactly
Aluta is dead in Nigeria.
One of you is unduly arrested and brutalised as if we are in a military junta for simply erring is view, as if there is no longer freedom of expression. You came to apologise to your oppressor. Is the first lady, Aisha Buhari, and the family not feeding fat on tax payer monies? So what the heck is this lillies-livered apologising for and on behalf of Nigerian Student
