You cant just call it trash like that.Only mumus will take that from you.Post your own history and let people determine which one is trash themselves.


To me,if lagos belong to benin,then nigeria and USA still belong to britain.

I guess you are the one with flawed knowledge in history. Let me educate your ignorance.


King "Oduduwa" was the first Ooni of Ile Ife (i.e the first king of ife kingdom), he bears only one child named "Okanbi". "Okanbi" was gave birth to 7 seven children who all became King in seperate part of Yoruba land such Egba, Oyo, etc.


The last born of Okanbi's 7 children was named Oranmiyan or Oranyan. Oranmiyan was the founder and first king of Oyo empire. Oranmiyan gave birth to several children among which was Eweka.



Oba Eweka was the first king of Benin kingdom. He was sent by his father Oranmiyan to the land which mean Yorubas directly owns the entire Benin kingdon from the onset. An Oyo prince was the first king of Benin kingdom.



Oba Eweka got to Benin empire and rejected the title of "Ogiso" which literarily mean "ruler" in benin language. He said he will be referred to as "Oba" which mean "King" in Yoruba land and that was how the term "OBA" became a title for Benin king till date.




Though Benin grows stronger under several kings after Eweka, it wasn't able to conquer Oyo. Some Yoruba land was truly tributary to benin but not so many. The size of Oyo kingdom was three times of Benin. Though Oyo sometimes fell to the Nupes, it rise again and conquered the Nupe knowns as Tapa by Yorubas.



When Oyo grow much stronger, they tried to overthrow Benin but failed several time for two and half century. Though they failed to conquer Benin but some parts of Benin kingdom such as "Ewe" and "Aja" paid tribute to Oyo kingdom.



We are in the world of internet, please do more research and know more about this history. Oyo is superior to Benin because Oyo owns Benin.

Obviously the benin empire ruled lagos at some point in time. Words like "osa" like in "osariemen" a benin word are from bini language. E.g eti-osa.
