Is this sign of weakness or greed?

Many Lagosians know the city as Nigeria’s commercial capital today, but few know the king whose signature changed its destiny forever.

In 1861, during a tense standoff with the British, the Oba of Lagos made a decision that turned Lagos into a British colony.
This move still sparks debate over 160 years later — was it an act of wisdom to save his people, or a surrender that cost Lagos its freedom?

One thing is certain: this king’s choice opened the door to a new chapter in Nigeria’s history.

I’ve written the full story here, including:

Itshekiri kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms in Nigeria...

Dating back to the 15th century.

I never realized how old it was as a kingdom.

It ranks together with the Oyo,benin,kanem borno,and igala kingdoms as some of the oldest in Nigeria.


It's been able to preserve some of its history and kingdom generally through generations but I wonder why they are so quiet in terms projecting their kingdom and what they achieved in the past.

I mean most people don't realize how old the kingdom is. And the rich cultural background.

Most people would mention the Oyo,ife etc kingdoms when listing ancient African kingdoms!

U don see am na 😂

Who Was Inikpi?

Inikpi was the beloved daughter of Attah Ayegba Om’Idoko, the ruler of the Igala Kingdom in present-day Kogi State, Nigeria. She is remembered as a heroine whose selfless sacrifice saved her people from destruction. Her story is one of courage, loyalty, and love for her kingdom.

Many centuries ago, the Igala Kingdom faced a deadly war against the powerful Benin Kingdom. The Igala army was struggling, and famine spread across the land. The Attah (king) sought guidance from the gods through an oracle.

The oracle delivered a painful prophecy:

The Igala Kingdom would only survive if the king sacrificed his most beloved child.

Attah Ayegba was devastated. He loved Inikpi deeply and could not imagine losing her. But when she i learned of the prophecy, she made a decision that would change history forever.
