ibo mischief makers are having a swell time with this Lagos-Oba-Benin nonsense. I dont want to get involved in the argument, I find it irritating and needless. Meanwhile, the Adamo Orisa play(Eyo Masqurade outing) will take place on the 20th of this month.

Basfaq:
White Marriage is just a celebration, they might've tight the knot before this time stop judging.

abi na maggi?

All these rubbish bloggers sef!

Do I sense that having not been given the first place among Yoruba Obas, the Eko monarch is patronizing for popularity in the SouthSouth and Eastern parts OR is it a religious ideology OR what.. OR is it plain truth OR is it revisionism?

tolugar:
That's why it's said that Lagos is no mans land

But ever noticed the groupings of persons saying so..

YonkijiSappo:
Lagos is not Yoruba but huge swathes of the Lagos mainland plus Ikorodu are closed whenever the natives decide to celebrate an Oro... lol
Who celebrate Oro in Benin? or No mans land?

You got me thinking in another direction. Why is the Oba not reviewing other historical Yoruba lineages?

BAILMONEY:
Oba lilwayne again

No wonder Lagos girls have similar characteristics, attributes and attitudes as Edo girls.

From Daily Post. By Seun Opejobi on May 3, 2017

The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has claimed that Lagos State is not part of Yoruba land. Akiolu’s statement is coming barely a week after he publicly humiliated the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi at an event.

The statement reads: “Coming from the palace, with what I was told by my late paternal grandmother who is a descendant of Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi and also reading from factual Historical books, let me share this Knowledge with you all on Eko/Lagos.

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast.

“It was a major centre of the slave trade until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British Colonial Period. The remainder of modern day Nigeria was seized in 1886 when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its capital due to the struggle of the Bini King.

“Lagos experienced growth prior to the British Colonial rule and even more rapid growth during the Colonial rule throughout the 1960s, 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s till date. Thanks to the Awori’s, Bini’s, Yoruba’s, migrants across the nation and world at large, as no particular group of people can take the glory alone.

“Lagos is made up of Lagoons and creeks. The Lagos lagoon, Lagos Harbour, five cowne creeks, Ebute-Metta creeks, Porto-Novo creeks, New canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Light house creeks.
“The Awori’s and Bini’s are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Awori’s are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori’s were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini’s who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose step-mother was after his head.

“The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa known to the Yorubas as Ooduwa (Oduduwa) was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the Great Benin-Kingdom.

“Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first King of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father’s Kingdom in Benin are the today’s Awori people who settled in Eko now called Lagos.

“In the 1300, the King of Benin-Empire heard from one of his traders who was a settler in Eko on how the Bini’s were treated by the Awori’s who lived in their area. Upon hearing this, the King of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by his son, Prince Ado, which headed the settlement of the Awori’s and demanded explanation.

“On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his Army were more than received. The Aworis asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed. Hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.

“The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son, Oba Ado in the running of Eko. “From the crowing of Prince Ado as the first Oba of Lagos (then called Eko), Lagos served as a major center for slave trade from which the Aworis, the Oba of Benin and his son the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.

“The Oba of Benin was the head of the Benin Empire which are the present day Western, Southern and Eastern modern day Nigeria. The King never obliged anyone to speak the Bini language as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.
The name Eko was given to it by the first king of Lagos, Oba Ado, the young and vibrant Prince from Benin. Eko was the land now known as Lagos Island, where the king palace was built.

“The palace is called Idugaran meaning “palace built on pepper farm” Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin together with the early Bini’s settlers in Eko and the Awori people settled in the southern part of Eko called “Isale Eko”. “Isale literally means bottom “. Must have been used to indicate downtown (as in down town Lagos)

“Until the coming in of the Benin’s 1300AD , Lagos geographical boundary was Lagos mainland, Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing post. No one was living there.

“About 1450 AD some Yorubas who hailed from Isheri in Ogun-state and Ekiti were allowed by the King to settle in Eko during a war, they came in a very large numbers thereby surpassing the numbers of the Awori’s and Bini’s. (Hence Yorubas claim to own Eko due to their numbers).

“Oba Ado fell in love with a beautiful woman whose father was Awori and mother a daughter to one of the chief; they had two sons and also a daughter Erelu Kuti, who begot Ologun Kutere who later became King.”

Part 2
This particular hotel seems to be part of a group of hotels that operates by deceiving its unsuspecting customers to pay more for less or no service. To achieve this all the staff, from bartender to chef to room service are taught to tell lies.
The lies are usually meant to change rules so that the customers become liable at the last minute to pay more.
For example during the training, the chef ask the participants to pick whatever they wanted without warning them that extra money will have to be paid. After the orders, at the end of the day, the chef presented extra bills to the trainer. Surprised that a chef is now presenting bills as against the manager, the trainer asked to see the manager. The manager disappeared. Actually, the food bills have been paid for in advance and the trainer wasn't expecting any new food bills.
All through this, the chef and supervisor said that they felt the participants or training staff OUGHT have known!
Trainer in the interest of peace agreed after much debate to pay half of the extra bills.

newmusic:
What is the name of the Hotel?

I wonder if Nairaland rules permit me to name. Moderators, @seun, @lalasticlala, @justwise what do you say.

End time events. The Lord is our strength.

Part 1
I will like to share an experience about one hotel during a training event that took place in Port Harcourt, Rivers State during the month of March.
The trainer made a reservation on the 31st of March 2017. The reservation was for the following Monday.
On Monday, the guest checked in around 8:00AM. Later, the trainer found out that a wrong room (though of same price) has been allocated to the guest. Complaints lodged, one hotel supervisor made a switch to a suitable room.
On the same day, trainer paid for additional 3 days. But on Wednesday, hotel management started to demand for more money from trainee. Hotel reception claims that the 4 days payments ends on Wednesday afternoon and that if the guests stays beyond Wednesday afternoon then an additional one day payment will have to be made.
Trainer insists that the 4 days are actually 4 nights and it ends after Thursday night and decides to move guests out of the hotel on Thursday evening.
Receptionist later locks both trainer and training team inside the premises of the hotel demanding additional one day payment. Cars and guests were prevented from going in and out of the hotel premises, since the trainer and his team were standing at the hotel gate.
Finally, complaints from other people forced receptionist to order opening of the gate. This was after receptionist has tried to force the trainer to pay half the price.
Hotel is at Chief Wonwu Avenue, Trans Amadi Industrial Layout.
