Stop changing the narratives.

Dahomey paid taxes to Oyo kingdom because it's on record that the Oyo kingdom at one time conquered them.

Beuberry:
Nothing you say is supported by eyewitness written documents. You are just dwelling in myths.

Beuberry:
All well meaning Yorubas, help me educate this illiterate proud good for nothing Ile-Ibinu boy that Oranmiyan can be spelt as Oranyan. Help me tell him that in Yorubaland, you can have ya full name and ya acronyms or short spelling of name. Eg: Adeboye can be used as Ade or Boye alone.
Ghostagain, you are a disgrace to history hood. If you don't know a fact, ask questions. Don't disgrace ya ancestors. Oranyan is short spelling of Oranmiyan.

Ya protege called Thebadpolitician lied. I gave facts. You said they were copied artworks. After evidence revealed radiocarbon dating a that's showed all Ife arts are older than that of Benin art!

Beuberry:
Naso una vex Oranyan.
Yorubas disown all of you!

Ghostagain:
The "yorubas" are not a homogenous group of people.
Some of them are slave decendants from Brazil, Cuba ...or decendants from local escapee slaves like the egbas, some are from oyo kingdom (also called yarri.ba)...
It is well recorded that Lagos was flooded by all these people as soon as the British took over Lagos in 1861 from Benin. The flooding continued well into postcolonial Nigeria and it is still ongoing today

. The meaning of Benin is Ile-Ibinu which was name Oranyan gave to them. See names like Adesuwa which is also Adesewa and the syllables are (Ade-su-uwa & Ade-se-ewa). Ogun, Olokun, Oba etc. Words those mofos can't tell it's story. Look at Ife artworks and Benin artworks. In the 15th century, Oba Oguola sent for bronze casters from Ife to reach them bronze sculptures.

Ghostagain:
Picture 1: Obi Gbenoba of Agbor in the 1930's
Picture 2: Oni of Ife in the 1930's

Which one looks more noble ?

Also tell me, that Oni regalia, is it the common dress code between Benin and Ife which the yoruba fraudster is talking about ?

3. Now reconcile the events and prove how Bini founded Lagos or how Lagos belongs to Bini.

Raf4:
1.Dispute the fact that the Portuguese sailed into Ereko/Eko/Lagos Island in 1472 and met Aworis/Yoruba there
2. Provide the date the 1st Oba of Ereko/Eko/Lagos was installed.
3. Now reconcile the events and prove how Bini founded Lagos or how Lagos belongs to Bini.

Raf4:
So, who is the eye witness you're referring to here? And which documents?

Portuguese sailed ⛵️ into Ereko that they named Lagos in 1472, met Awori Yoruba there, established trading contacts with them and all these were well documented by them. After about 2 centuries later, your oba of Bini forcefully hijacked the control of the trading activities, installed a king on the parcel of land gifted him by Aromire and the 1st oba was installed around 1630s.
My question is how can you establish a place in 1630 when the place was already in existence and in communication with the outside world, Portuguese, as far back as 1472?

I don't know how to jump about

He's yet to provide evidence to the lie he's sprewing, same person would not have answers to more complex lies his counterparts are spreading.

Procashtips:
Lol post the link to your so called evidence and stop beating around the bush.

Raf4:
Which evidence do you want again? All the available history books of more than a century old recorded so. The only book that is saying otherwise is the one written by Ereduawa II less than 20yrs ago.

Look at the eyes o, the stylized eyes, beads, head etc.
Are you still blind to see the similarities, dear Uncle modern day Ologbosere?

OyinO:
Africa is not a Greek word please. Research again. Besides, we are talking of a settlement and not a continent.

OyinO:
Colonial maps were based on crude estimates because the explorers and expeditors remained much at the coasts, so little was known of most areas. They used the people they like to dominate others.

OyinO:
You want to intimidate me? Who gave Lagos its name?

OyinO:
The Yorubas only used their close proximity in nearby Yoruba areas to flock in and takeover during and after colonial administration.

OyinO:
Lagos was not founded but was used as a port city by the Portuguese. The Benin people were only co-settlers with other groups that also settled on the islands in that geographical area.

OyinO:
Oldest history books indeed. Neither the Benin nor the Yorubas are first to settle on that place called Lagos.
