Benin itself was founded by Ancient Ado Ekiti People that is why the Yorubas still call them the Ados
and their first Ogiso was from Ile Ife
This was well before even Oduduwa became king of Ile Ife

The Aworis have been in Lagos before Binis arrived.. the Binis settled in the coastal parts of Lagos while Aworis had spread not just in coastal areas but to hinterlands and they are the recognised "omo onile" in most parts of Lagos.

An Awori man won't ever agree that Binis founded Lagos and the Binis too won't dispute Aworis presence in Lagos.

Interesting..

I haven't digged much into Binis ancestry but I see their presence, artifacts, cult groups and shrines on the Island especially Ikoyi axis.
Benin people and Yorubas blend well so there is possibility they are of ancient Yoruba stock.

Relax OP.. you have rights to live in Lagos because you are a Nigerian and Lagos is a State in Nigeria.. what you must understand is that Yorubas and by extension Eguns including the ones in Benin Republic and Togo have more say in the affairs of Lagos than you an Igboman.
The earlier you understand this fact, the better for everyone.

The Binis settled in Lagos just like Aworis and Eguns in Badagry, we know that.. but modern day Lagos State has parts of Ogun state merged with it. Most parts of Mainland were ceded to Lagos state so Lagos can have more lands and L.G.As.. Everyone knows Lagos used to be a slave coast for Portugese with some of the Obas selling their own people into slavery in return for wealth and power. The Vivour-Rhodes, Bode George are returnee slaves from Portugal.

It's wrong to say Lagos is owned by Binis only when Yoruba sub-group Aworis are there, likewise the Egun people. However you choose to see it, Lagos is still part of Yoruba lands cos there are more Yorubas than Binis. Yoruba and the Binis are related with similar traditions.

Share it to Eluu P supporters so they will think again and vote right choice.. condom na free but you pay for ol0sho.

Even Ojukwu and Azikiwe spoke flawless Yoruba

You see am..

Now see a supposed Lagosian that wants to be governor in Lagos but can't speak Yoruba.. na 'ke khime' he wan go dey speak to Oba Akiolu

I have just one question for the Old Rhodes... Why can't your son speak Yoruba?.

Even some pure Igbos that I know speak flawless Yoruba talkless of your own son claiming to be a Lagosian yet can't speak language of locals in the state.

He is more tilted to his mother side which is Igbo and has been seen in Ipob rallies, even declared support for sit at home in the East every Monday.. biko we no want that kind of person to destroy and destabilize our pride which is Lagos.

I journeyed back to West recently and was impressed with the road network in West now.. things have really improved.

Kudos to our SW governors for all the good works.. State Wealth Fund is way to go.

I hope some people will one day think and go back home to develop their region.

I haven't actually attacked any Igbo before.. growing up with Fulanis, Igbos, Hausas etc. in the West gave us a different outlook to life compared to what is obtainable in the East.

Did you know that virtually all tribes in the Niger Delta including Ijaws sided with Gowon against Ojukwu's biafra.. reason they gave was tribalism and maltreatment of their people by the Igbos.

If you check well, the Igbos lost everything in Port Harcourt and other places in the South, but Yorubas gave them back everything in full with rent collected on their behalf.. fast forward to present day, their offsprings are doing anyhow, insulting Yorubas and calling us unprintable names.

Awo gave them money 20 pounds (imagine the worth back then).. both the ones that had nothing prior to the war all got something to rebuild.. Only a Yoruba man will do that and that is why most tribes won't remain in Nigeria once Yorubas leave.

Igbos should learn how to behave and be respectful to other tribes especially the ones hosting them across Nigeria.. Is that too hard to do?

Lagos is for Sanwo Olu on saturday God willing.. Mr. Chinedu can sandfill some parts of the lagoon and govern it.

Lagos is working..

Lagos no be Abia or Enugu.

It's a pity Soludo wasn't on the presidential ballot.. the way I for use all my fingers thumbprint for am ehnn.

He is a good material from the East.. unlike the statistician-general of eluu p.

Goodmarlian:


Are you sure you yourself will survive the war? online combatant..

How are you sure I'm a civilian like you?.. Well that aside, Igbos should respect Yorubas hosting them in Lagos and drop the Chinedu bullcrap.

Heck, we don't even know if Mr. Rhodes actually fvcked his Igbo mom or was just a step dad to him.

It's not even the Chinedu matter that is bothering me now cos I am certain he can't win.. but the amount of weaklings and easily sawyed dullards growing among Yoruba population..

How will someone that did. nothing in Anambra come and win a state in SW where those that laboured for Eko to be where it is today are there.. I think the under 30yrs in Yorubaland don't read to see the kind of problems SW faced when in opposition. The same Obasanjo in Ogun today seized allocations of Lagos state under Tinubu. Imagine running a state like Lagos without allocations and still turning the state around to be one of the best performing in Nigeria.

Yorubas please don't betray the Odua race on saturday.. any mistake made at the polls will set Lagos and entire South West region back for another 100 years..

There is no muslim-muslim ticket on the ballot, don't let any pastor cajole you to vote against your ethnic identity.

@OP You folks are playing with total destruction of your ethnic group, yet joking.. You can't even see the tense situation on ground now. Yorubas won't hesitate to burn you down in South West and attack South East in succession..

Careful what you people wish for so GREED won't wipe y'all out. unlike the civil war, there will be a victor.

Be guided.

Do the business you entered night bus to Lagos to do and stay off Yoruba politics.

The Yorubas belong to Western Nigeria whether Osun, Ogun, Oyo and likes and Lagos (Ilu Eko) is in Western Nigeria which means Yorubas are at home in Lagos.

You an Easterner that crossed river Nigeria and travelled over 1000 miles to enter West is and will forever remain an outsider in Lagos cos Lagos is not your home. Don't wait till you're forcefully evicted like your forefathers, have some honour and go rescue your shithile states in South East.

I saw something like this happening to Asiwaju in Lagos when the Ipob urchins gathered at Lekki to deceive the whole world that there was massacre ongoing at Lekki.. I really don't know why our people kept quiet when it was obvious that the protest was targeted at Lagos political and traditional rulers..

It's the false narrative that they used to gain gullible Yorubas to vote en masse for their Ipob agenda which is Obi.. coupled with the muslim-muslim ticket. Having a liberal Yoruba muslim married to a Christian at the helms of affairs in Nigeria is far better than having a bigot like Obi that divided Nigerians along tribal and religious lines to serve his own selfish interest.

I said it here last year that if Tinubu is to ever become president, it's the Northerners that will make it so. Today it has come to pass, the state he worked for turned against him when it mattered most to vote a failure that achieved nothing in Anambra fro 8 good years.

Obidients are IPOB members... go back to the East and change your bad leaders there.

Lagos politics doesn't concern you an outsider.

Did Obama insult Americans?

A product of one night stand between a l0vepeddler and randy Mr. Rhodes wants to govern Lagos, even had guts to call Yorubas 'afonja" and deride Pst. Adeboye. A complete nuisance is who you compare to a bright Obama?

Are you aware the Rhodes family,the legitimate Lagosians have endorsed Sanwo Olu?
The born throwaway that grew up in his mother's side full of bile and hate towards Yorubas suddenly cares about Lagos.. tell us another joke.

That is an existential threat and would be crushed decisively trust me.. this is not sixties when they killed Premiers of North and West except East and got away.

The church was used as a tool against SW presidency and Yorubas fell for it.. soon you will see CAN sweating to rufund part of the 2 billion they took from Obi to support him.

Most free thinking Yorubas voted their choice, some for Atiku and some for Asiwaju.. It"s the gullible sheepies that listen to their pastors that made Obi get that much votes in Lagos . I wonder how they'll face God knowing they voted a failure that achieved nothing as governor in Anambra for 8 years.

We are waiting to see the religious propaganda they want to use againt Sanwo Olu in the coming governorship elections.

OneCandleAway:
Please stop this. No-one is taking anything. Its healthy for another part to win so we know the actual amount being stolen from lagosians. All de elopmental projects will definitely continue, at a cheaper price if I may add because project inflation in lagos is extremely high.

And if you like call me Igbo. You think lagosians are happy with the messiness in lagos currently. You didn't talk of the aboundamve of agbero that makes transportation very high in lagos. Collecting tax that they spend on wasiu and actresses.

Lagos is in the sorry mess it is today because of unchecked influx of outsiders including Igbos flocking into the state in their thousands.. how do you expect the state to be orderly when the Igbos are trooping into the state in droves yet they won't allow Lagos get "Special Status" state bill passed out of their hate and envy for Yorubas.. In my knowledge of migration, people tend to migrate from a backward place to where they'll get greener pastures.

Let noone deceive you, Lagos is the goal for Igbos, not like they care if you exist as a Yoruba.

If Chinedu wins by mistake, it will get even worse cos they will now empty the South East into Lagos and ckoke Yorubas to death.

Like Azikiwe and the others after him failed.. this Chinedu too will fail on March 11.

They have seen the Dangote refinery, Eko Atlantic city, Lekki Deep Seaport and many other projects in Lagos, reason they want to use Chinedu to take everything by proxy.

Yorubas should try and travel to South East and see the ugly state of things there.. till today Enugu is still a glorified big village despite having a state status. Niger state is x2 of the 5 South East states put together yet they can't achieve anything despite getting x5 of what Niger state gets.

Omo ale will always act like an omo ale.. won ma n gbe ile ti awon obi won ko ta ni.

loosecanon50:

We can't continue with the false narattive that Igbos did this or that in Lagos.. Igbos aren't capable of development or anything and it shows in their shitty region where economy, IGR everything is zero. They look for fertile lands of other ethnicities to steal while they neglect their own lands cos of zero progress there.

That is how they keep running to Kano and other states to enjoy the goodies there while no ethnic group can go to East cos the region is dead and unproductive.

Nope, Mr. Jandor or whatever he is called is wrong.. Igbos crossed river Niger into South West to benefit from the friendly commerce and economic environment created by Yorubas in Lagos.

All the markets he mentioned were doing well under Yorubas till the Igbos came, pushed them out and monopolized everywhere.. what can never happen in South East.

Things happen for a reason and I am sure the real Yorubas have learnt a lesson or two from the feb 25 elections.. same hate they gave Awolowo, Akintola, M.K.O Abiola, Olu Falae, Tinubu, Osinbajo and now Sanwo Olu is the same hate they will give you the Yoruba reading this.

Yoruba ronu!

Lagos will crumble with a change of idea and change of vision.. I'm not joking, not with someone like Chinedu that supports Ipob sit at home on Mondays. I'm even surprised that such a person got ticket to contest governorship elections.

What is sustaining Lagos is continuity of the existing Lagos growth master plan.. Anyone telling you they'll perform miracle and turn Lagos to Dubai within 4 years is a big LIAR.. If e easy why tiny South East never turn to Dubai.

Yoruba ronu!

Don't turn back the destiny of Lagos with your own votes.. consider your kids and grand kids as you go to the polls on March 11.

Itesiwaju ilu Eko is on course.

God bless the best performing governor in Nigeria today, Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu.

Ahmadu Bello was being entirely honest in that clip.. in the First republic, the Igbos were the only ones dominating the civil service courtesy of Zik. It was when the Northerners clipped the wing of Igbos that they planned coup to kill prominent leaders of other ethnic groups in Nigeria.. we saw the resultant pogroms and eventuall civil war that claimed millions of Igbo lives.

Yorubas are learned and well read but this innate docility or is it fo0lishness has to end. It took one man Ahmadu Bello to put the Igbos aggression in the North to a stop. So what is our own problem in Yorubaland?.. is it until we turn to slaves on our soil that our people will start applying common sense that law of self preservation first before any form of wokeness.

The Igbos misbehaving in Yorubaland won't allow you breathe, won't allow you do business or buy lands in their own place, using derogatory names like ndi nama, ofe mmanu etc. on you, but our own kiths and kins are selling lands to everybody, still giving them jobs while Yoruba youths roam the streets. O ma se o

@OP What elders see while seated, others wil stretch neck from now till Jesus comes and still see nothing..

Some of us have been shouting here on the need to check influx of outsiders especially Igbos trooping into Lagos and other parts of Yorubaland as if there is war displacing them from their own region but the woke imbe.ciles will say it's nothing, we are in one Nigeria.. Now look at the nonsense happening.

It's until they drive people to commit genocide that the foolish leaders in Yorubaland will now start running around appealing to people to embrace peace and stop bloodshed.

I repeat it here that why are the Igbos moving in droves into South West if not that they have agenda.. next thing you will start seeing will be Igbos with some lost Yorubas declaring sit at homes in Lagos and beating aged Yoruba men and women going about their lawful businesses in Lagos markets. Igbos that don't have respect for elders, that use sliding tackle to wake their parents are the people some Yorubas are supporting to take over Lagos.. your ancestors will curse you, even you coming generations will spit on your grave.

Senate presidency seat is for South South.. Igbos don't deserve anything under the incoming administration.

Is this doomsday upon us already?.. I doubt this lady Vivour understands what ekaro means.

Tinubu shouldn't have allowed outsiders into Lagos politics honestly.. the same people he emboldened voted en masse against him in the East, still found a way to divide Lagosians along religious lines for Obi to win in Lagos.. Now they are coming to take the entire Lagos state governance structure but they will fail l'ase Edumare

She is even saying our Lagos.. kai Igbos don too get peace of mind for Yorubaland

@OP Lose Lagos to who?.. like are you insane?

I don't think you know the structure on ground in Lagos.. the Igbos you see are living at the mercy of Yorubas.. eni ju ni lo le ju ni pa.

Just pray against war o cos 'ka ka ki ile su, ile a sa'. That's the slogan our forefathers handed over to us. Fight to the finish.

stuffs2002:
As a Northerner, I cant but help feel sorry for Yorubas if they make the mistake of voting an IPOB as governor of Lagos.

It won't be like the LekkiLies they got away with, that I'm sure of..

It's a thing to win and another to rule.. He won't win or rule in Lagos.
