While I share Ajayi-Bebe feelings about the intentional exclusion of Lagosians from the scheme put together by Tinubu from Oragbiji in Osun State, Ajayi affiliation conceding Lagos Island to Benin is misplaced.

Bini itself is Yoruba regardless of the politics of the day. The ligua franca in Bini palace until recently was Yoruba, their gods are Yoruba and the names of the royals until recently are Yoruba.

Oduduwa came before Christ and existed not only in Yoruba history buy in that of their cousins worldwide including Ijaw before Ikalehan appearance in the 14th century.

Ajayi-Bembe cannot reconcile that by claiming Bini and Awori are the same. That is pure self serving. He can get away with that by claiming all Yoruba are cousins.

Aromire own Isale Eko a descendant of Ogunfimonire, an Awori from Ife own Lagos from Isheri to Isale Eko.

Lol!!!!! Revisionist at work again.

Go an look for your lost Son among the Igbos in Onitsha or Ijaws in Gelegele.

We own your thrown, we own your crown, you worship our gods, our kingdom was bigger in all ramifications, we gave your throne the title of an Oba. You never had an Oba before we impregnated your Princess, which your men could not do. We named Benin what it is today - Ile Ibinu. The Ife Art -- the terracotta head -- has been scientifically proven to predate Benin Art. Our words are strongly entrenched in your lexicon when tell us the Bini words in our lexicon.

The impact of our culture and influence is undeniably written all over Bini culture. Some nonentities are saying Yorubas were never United. Really!!!!! Then they should be read up on Emperor Alaafin and centuries of ruling.

Read up on Obatala Obatosa. You will know since when the Oba has been in the lexicon of the Yorubas. Oba came into your lexicon when Oranmiyan was sent to establish a our lineage on your throne and which he did successfully. The title of your throne was Ogiso.

Truth is bitter but we will keep ramping it down your throat. Our lineage still rule Bini kingdom till today. Deal with it and cry us holy water.

You are very funny.

Binis never had the title of Oba until we took over the crown. The title of their kings before then was Ogiso. By virtue of that crown, whatever that crown owns is ours.

Going further, the expedition of Ado met some people at isale eko and they conquered them. Mind you it was not the whole of Lagos. It was the present day Lagos Island.

1. On the original land owner basis, it is ours.

2. Based on ownership of Bini crown, where they conquered is still ours.

YourNemesis:
lool elaborate more abeg.
Those so called bini gods are from Yorubaland. Ogun was an Ekiti warrior who founded Ire. Sango/Isango was an Oyo man. Esu, Ifa, Orunmila, Olokun etcc all Yoruba.

You people even call sacrifice Ebo.
There are so many Yoruba words in edo language as well. Do not think the Binis have some kind of monopoly of influence.

Iyan (pounded yam), Ogban (30), Aga (Chair), Gedu (Timber), Ewu (Blouse/clothing top), Iyi (Honor), Agan (Barren), Bata (Shoe), Ishana (Matchstick), Oko (Canoe), Ologbo (Cat), Elubo (Flour), Ago (Camp), Abe (Blade/Razor), Agbo (Ram), Adugbo (which ypu people call “Edogbo”)-Neighborhood, Pataki/Kpataki (Important). Etc etc. Too numerous to enumerate here.

There are also towns in Edo with their origin in IFE. Go and do your research well and come back.

Lets us look at Nigeria right now... give 3 examples of how so called bini culture is superior to yoruba culture like you say.

Waiting....

All this 'traditional' land ownership is part of the reason as to why Africa has so many problems.
