Even if it’s true that Benin founded some part of Lagos, Yoruba go gree? They will always come up with lies to counter it. Etiosa, idumagbo in island are Edo names which were created when They arrived in Lagos.

Olodo

It's Eti osa

Osa meaning Lagoon in Yoruba.

Eti meaning near or Ear in Yoruba

Eti osa is generic name given to the local government area when Lagos State was created. It means near Lagoon.

There's nothing precolonial era about Eti osa

There's not a single town in Lagos founded by Bini not one.

chiagozien:
The war was between Biafra and Nigeria soldiers.


Stop sounding foolish

Olodo read the Aburi accord and why Soldiers from each region were sent back to their region.

illicit:
You need to read more history

Slavery was a business

Infact booming business, war is just one of the numerous factors of being enslaved

Anybody can capture anyone and sell such person to slavery

The Igbos and Akwa ibomites that ended up in the Americas, was it Fulani and Yoruba war that took them there?

Ask questions

Shebi the history of slavery of every region is exactly the same olobe !

NaMe4:
Even if you guys want to continue with the stupidity started yesterday, don't deteriorate to the point of expressing imaginations.

Do you realise in Benin, there are communities and quarters that were handed over to former slaves after the abolishment of slave trade, and a number of these communities were mainly Yorubas who are now Binis? I'm sure you've never heard any Edo mention this, because we believe in dignity and respect of others.
You can inquire from any knowledgeable Yoruba who lives in or has a good knowledge of Edo. They go tell you.


Do you know Yorubas made up the 2nd largest (some data even argue the highest) number of slaves who emerged from 'Nigeria'?


Desist from writing fables or matters you know nothing about.

Bro even if you believe in your stories in Benin you shouldn't try and cover historical records with fiction.

Yorubas just like igbos makes up the largest slave captured and sold in slavery because of large numbers of this groups in the coast.

Benin are not even amongst the third largest people who traded Yorubas for slave, the highest people who traded Yorubas as slaves were Yorubas from other clans.

The second were Fon who raided villages close to Dahomey after it got its independence from Oyo.

KingOfAllIgbos:
You're the coward denying your igbo identity.

You acted just as I predicted. Snap a picture now, I can bet you're wearing a skirt in fear

Iamgey5. No be Edo guy. Don't mind him. I have flattened his flat skull plenty times here.

Hence the denial of his own identity

Ok bro, let me leave him then.

FiraO9:
Proof? Kindly provide evidence to it and quiet lies.

The proof that Benin was defeated in 24hours by Biafra forces

My guy hope all you know of history isn't the propaganda fed to you by your king of the four Local government area in Benin.

This history i am teaching you is not even up to 40 years oh

BitterTruth01:
The Oba of Lagos literally said it that Aworis are from Bini

Check the 7th paragraph of this interview he gave

https://guardian.ng/sunday-magazine/lagos-oba-traces-origin-to-benin/amp/

The oba of Lagos said his family is from Bini not Awori.

Oba met Awori in Lagos island.

FiraO9:
This is reason I called Yoruba the biggest Cowards in Nigeria's history, this imp is attesting that their women getting raped by minority tribe, Fulani is right, it us welcomed.

You that igbos raped your women and conquered in less than 24hours is trying to sound big.

Igbos are not even close to the ruthlessness of the Fulanis oh.

You for exist if Fulani had gain entrance to Bini 4 Local government area kingdom.

adamusuleiman1:
The 4 LGA are not up to 1 local government in Ibadan. Ponmo people dey act like beef

I don't even enjoy insulting the Binis like that because i believe we have a lot in common.

However, the average Bini man must be thought that there are boundaries.

FiraO9:
Says a tribe which minorities like Fulani rapes their grandmothers, mother's back and forth.

A tribe which traditional heritage were banned from their own land and the glorified fools were mute.

The biggest cowards in Nigeria are the Yorubas( normally known as Coneheads and Afonjàs)

Hausa a tribe has a higher population than Yorubas.

Whereas every Hausa king today in Nigeria is from the Fulani ethnic background.

Every Nupe king today is from the Fulani ethnic background.

Only one Leader in Yoruba land has a Fulanis heritage and it's not like the Fulanis didn't try to expand their reach but they failed.

You people are Lucky the Ebiras used their environs to their Advantage in defending against the Fulanis incursion otherwise the defeat you suffered in 24 hours from Biafra will have been child's play to what the ruthless Fulanis will have done to your four Local government kingdom.

adamusuleiman1:
The cowerdice were Bini fathers and grandfathers that hid under the bed while Biafria Soldiers took over Bini in less than 12 hours.

The Bini kingdom that Biafra captured within 24hours and raided the central bank.

We might have had Eze of Benin today if not for Benjamin Adekunle in Ore and some brave ijaw soldiers who fought Biafra from within

FiraO9:
What an insane false margins from the tribe of propaganda and twisting history.

I need a proof to the thrash you mentioned, Binis were more civilized and renowned than your cowardice ancestors in the past centuries.

FYI: @emboldened, reverse was the case.

You can ask your family members who the Ibadan people are to Bini and why the British considered Ibadan the capital of western region when your so called Benin was included in the western region.

It was only after conniving and skimming that your Fathers broke out under the bondage of Ibadan.

BitterTruth01:
Bini not only founded Lagos , they also founded Ile-Ife

Awori people are from Bini
Oduduwa was from Bini

Without Bini , yoruba history is nothing

Lobatan

Even White people are originally from Benin.

There's not a single history that backs your claim that Awori are from Bini

But I trust the Bini to cook up a history sooner rather than later to that effect like they did the Oduduwa thing.

FiraO9:
You Yorubas are just chronic fools, most of you on NL.

so because the Binis voted for PO; they don't have sense? Then you glorified cowards from the tribe of a fallen demon that voted Pbat who has messed up the economy is what? Fools? Idiots? Cacafuegos? Brainless? Which?

Bunch of deluded people, awon renowned clowns.

The dude Aljram is part of the cousins your Oba is claiming.

Aljram has more knowledge of Lagos island than you will ever know.


You are a boy from the 4 Local government that makes Bini kingdom is telling your supposed cousin to shut up.

aljharem:
Since the election I no longer consider binis. A lot of them no get sense

There is a dude quoting you on this thread that doesn't know you are actually a Bini decedant in Lagos island yourself.

FiraO9:
Imagine this nobody giving a warning to a deity(greater than everything from his tribe) to watch his utterance.

Are you folks this daft, who do Yorubas like this? He will say whatever he feels like in your enclaved territory and nothing you rodents, puppets, pigs and ass-lickers would do about it. You 🤡's will only rant and wail all over NL, SM's and nothing else.

Hereditary cowards!

My Ancestors were the greatest amongst the Yoruba people and raided slaves in Benin kingdom in late 18 centuries.

Incase you don't know this history, you can ask your Bini people.

Oba should limit his talks to Edo state where is overall imperial power is constantly questioned by ijaws.

The Oba of Bini should watch his utterance next time he is invited into the territory of the Yorubas.

DoTheNeedful:
Oba of Benin never said they own Lagos. He only said they founded it. Besides, when we say Lagos, people get it mixed up. Are we talking about Lagos State or Eko Idu-iganran, the seat of Oba of Lagos, which is not up to one local government? Can Benin claim Badagry that is owned by Egun or Ikorodu, Lekki, Epe owned by Ijebu speaking people. There are some other areas owned by Awori.

What the Oba said was needless, given the political tension that occurred earlier in the year. Saying Edo founded Lagos is tantamount to saying the British founded Nigeria. Truely, there was Benin empire that spanned as far as Republic of Benin and even parts of Niger state today. However, the economic significance of Lagos today, has made it the beautiful bride. The Oba won't go to Republic of Benin today to say Benin own places there.

@ emboled is the biggest lie in history.

Biggest lie

illicit:
It's the royalty that came from Benin not the people

On Lagos island,there are places with Benin heritage names like the palace itself, Iga Iduganran

Ẹkọ means camp in Benin

However, Lagos is not Benin land but the royalty came from Benin

Which Royalty is that?

Is Lagos the indigenous name of Lagos or is Eko the name of the entire place called Lagos today?

illicit:
Don't do this


Look at the distance between America and Oyo

Who captured Yorubas that ended up as slaves in the carribeans?

You don't know that slaves are sold in markets?

Lol.

The Fulanis and Yoruba civil war is what led to the capturing of Yorubas in Yoruba land. It was even on record that the British had to call a meeting of Yorubas in Lagos in the early 1990s to settle the dispute of that civil war

However, what is the reason Nupes will be captured as slaves and sold in Yorubaland even when thriving Nupe communities exist all over Yoruba land before colonial period.

legitnow1:
OBA OF BENIN DISCOVERED LAGOS.



OBA OF BENIN IS ON RECORD AS TRAVELLING BY RIVER AND THE PROXIMITY TO LAGOS IS VERY NEAR.

How is the proximity of Lagos very near.

You will have to pass through a whole Ilaje and ijebu water side of ogun state to get to Lagos from Benin territory.

Corn247:
Oba of bini said his ancestors probably found "some part" according to history, he doesn't said they own it now. He doesn't even mention the name of location he think they found in Lagos.

He is just trying to fams yoruba since ipob is already claiming his land, Oba of bini is of yoruba decent

Oba of Benin is wrong

How can you be the founder of a community that already exist?

Isale Eko was the land of Eko Aromire even before Asipa left Benin.

illicit:
This man in particular, Oshodi Tapa was a Nupe slave

Read History

Who is the person that captured him as slave ?

Abi don't you know the distance between Nupe territory and Lagos?

Which history traced him to be a slave?

illicit:
His Ancestors, Oshodi Tapa was a Nupe slave, manumissioned by one Oba Of Lagos (Eleko then)

It wasn't that there were indigenous Tapas in Lagos, this man Oshodi Tapa was a slave brought to Lagos from Nupe land...

Lol Nupe slave?

Oh so you don't know that know that just like Benin wandered into Yoruba land in precolonial times, the Nupe our neighbors to the north did the same and vice versa.

There are towns in Oyo State settled by Nupe known by Yorubas as Tapa.


Learn history.

Donaldoni:
Eletu Odibo you mean. They are the ones with Bini ancestry.

Yes

Donaldoni:
Obanikoro himself refuted this claim. It is on record.

You forget there is an area in Lagos so called

Yes, I am friends with a lot of Eletu and they preferred to be called Yorubas for obvious reasons.

99% of the idu children in Lagos have not had any connections to Edo in more than 200years and have assimilated into Yoruba culture.

They don't know any other culture apart from Yoruba culture. It's similar to Olukumi in Delta State who are surrounded by igbos and have become igbos over many centuries.

OVB123:
Why are you now angry that benin own lagos.

The Benins and Yoruba are two distinct ethic groups. However, various Yoruba clans have had significant influence of aspects of Benin culture and vice versa over the years.

VEHINTOLAR:
Stop spewing gibberish,Obanikoro is not a bini name ! You guys will just be sounding like an Authority on a subject matter you know nothing about ! How on earth is Obanikoro any Bini name when the word "Oba" itself was alien to the Binis before the arrival of Oranmiyan,a Prince from Ile Ife in their midst ?! The word "Oba" was coined from OBAtala, the first king in Yoruba land and who owns all the Yoruba Oba's crowns till tomorrow! Is Obatala not a Yoruba deity today ?!

Believe it or not,the only connection between Lagos royalty and that of Benin's is Oranmiyan ! Go and read the Ijaws'accounts of the history of Benin. The Ijaws stated very clearly in their own accounts that the "Benin royalty is of Yoruba descent" ! The Ijaws are Binis next door neighbors and they witnessed the arrival of "an highly influencial Yoruba Prince from Ife with his very large entourage" ! Go and read the Ijaws accounts of Benin history,it's on the internet !

I don't know if you're a Bini or not but the truth is that Yoruba culture influenced Bini's culture greatly, it's not other way round ! Is "Oyegun" a Bini name ? That's a Yoruba man's from a family or compound with a renowned chieftaincy tittle ! Words like "Iya Oba", "Olori", "Asipa","Balogun",etc are well rooted in Yoruba language,they are all Yoruba names which the Binis have retained ! Bronze casting which Benin is renowned for today all over the world,was actually an ancient skill of the Ile Ife people which was taken to "Ile Ibinu" - Benin by Oranmiyan's entourage !

These Binis are quite funny and highly illogical in their reasonings. You claim Aworis are Binis but the progenitor of Awori people,Olofin Ogunfunminire was a Yoruba Prince from Ile Ife. Awori's quarters is in Ile Ife till tomorrow! Did Ogunfunminire change his name to Yoruba name or what 'cause that's clearly a Yoruba name ! As a matter of fact,the Olofin there is one the tittles of Oduduwa - Olofin Adimula of Ile Ife.

Take it or leave it,Bini people are not Yoruba but the Benin's royalty belongs to the Yoruba and that's the only connection with Lagos ! Olu of Warri recently affirmed his Yoruba root when he visited Ogun state,the king of Accra - Ga Mantse (Adangbe of Accra) recently visited Ooni of Ife in Ile Ife and openly confirmed his Yoruba root,so many Kings in disapora with Yoruba ancestry have repeatedly told whoever cares to know that they are Yorubas from Ile Ife,it is one inconsequential Bini people in just a state in Nigeria who stupidly believe they can rewrite Yoruba history,ko Jo!

Actually, Obanikoro is a Benin name

However, Obanikoro doesn't have more than the land their iga(house) located at idumota in Lagos island.

We have Iga Eletu, iga Kosoko etc. On Lagos island. I believe iga is Benin world for house

However, the entire land on Lagos island belongs to Aromire sub clan of the Awori tribes and were known as the White cap chiefs.

The white chiefs are like likes of Oniru

There's no place one can find any significant Benin influence in Lagos outside idumota.

Kukutenla:
When did Oniru become governor of Lagos

You said kings in Lagos abi you didn't read right?

Kukutenla:
Is the present governor of Lagos awori?
Has any Awori been Lagos gov since 1999 or even King?

So all those Oniru are from your tribe?

MXrep:
This is like the 101th time it's being sealed and unsealed. Under Fashola, this happened almost every month. It usually happens when the politics at the center doesn't seem to favor yorubas. This so called sealing may not be unconnected with the tension at the supreme Court

How does the "politics at the center" not favor Yorubas?
