I read the entire story - you should read it again to confirm. The guy identifies himself as Bini. And as such is under the lordship of his king the Oba of Bini. Therefore, if the Oba of Bini does not want to gba bo de - he should call him to order.

Anybody can call himself anything he likes. I can call myself Prince Charles of England, if I like. Does that make me the heir to the throne of England? Ajayi-Bembe is just seeking some form of relevance. The guy is not under the lordship of the Omo n'Oba. He is not one of the subjects of the Oba, and has not been acknowledged as such. So why should the Oba put his mouth into something so petty? Did the Oba send him on any assignment? Chai!!

FisifunKododada:
I partly blame the internet. Its only because of cheap data, some Bini villager will sit in his thatched hut to claim land far removed from his village in the heartland of Yoruba kingdom. The same cheap data will make an Ipob pig in his 2 by 4 provision shop in the middle of potorpotor region saying Lagos is no man's land. It will be easier for 10 million camels and 100 million elephants to pass through the eye of a needle at the same time than for the ownership of a square inch of Lagos - the Jewel of Yoruba land- to be credibly questioned.

Oh lawd! No Bini villager laid claim to Lagos. It was Ajayi-Bembe, a Lagos Yoruba indigene that started this controversy. And the IPOB/Igbo keyboard warriors infected it with their petty propaganda, as usual!

Leez:
dont u have some headslamming to do o ye gambari slave

You just confirmed to us again that you are a slave... A gambari slave for that matter. Oya, clap for yourself. Now stop dodging the question and answer me: how long have you and your people been begging for freedom from Nigeria?

Gotze1:
Are you igbo or bini

He is Igbo. Check his antecedents on NL.

Leez:
unity beggar dodging as usual

Indentured slave, dodging the question and answer...as usual!

FisifunKododada:
Then tell the Oba to call his lousy dogs to order. By keeping quiet he is encouraging a rift between two great civilizations that have respected each other for thousands of years. If he continues to keep quiet he will gba bo de.

Did you read the entire story from the beginning? The person who started this controversy was Ajayi-Bembe, a Lagos Yoruba indigene. He is not an emissary of the Oba of Benin, neither was he sent on such a nefarious errand by the Oba!

Leez:
u mean d unity beggars?

Answer my question, because the only slave and the only beggar here, is you. How long have you and your people been begging for freedom from Nigeria? Let us know...

Malawian:
U meme? Oya gbe e. Moto gbe e. I can continue if you want.

You are daft! Your gobbledygook is meaningless and you know it, you Igbo tout.

Malawian:
See this one smooching his mingu. Prepare to demolish your houses anywhere near the one mile corridor the gallant Bini warriors will declare from Edo state to Lagos. Igbo importers will sell the bulldozers for the job.

You are not a Bini man. So don't even attempt to speak for them. No Bini man is dragging Lagos with the indigenes. Ajayi-Bembe is not recognised in Benin among those that matter. Ozuor!

Leez:
respecting ur masters.
that's a good slave

Nah! The only slave here is you. Remind me again, how long have you and your people been begging for freedom from Nigeria?

FisifunKododada:
Lagos is 100% Yoruba land. If you don't like it take your complain to Oba of Bini. If dem born the Oba of Bini well let him come out and say nonsense. No amount of propaganda can change reality. If you like continue to lie from now till eternity. It will not change anything. Lagos and Yorubas are eternally linked. And like the British writer puts it: Lagos is the jewel of the Yoruba people. Case closed.

Sir, please kindly do not disrespect the Oba of Benin. The Benin royal stool is an ancient, revered institution. Thank you.

bkool7:
This man is a confusionist.

How can Aworis be Bini and Binis Aworis?

If that is so, this means the Binis are Yoruba too.
Because Aworis are definately Yoruba .

The origin of the name means "Awo ri" i.e. the plate sank.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awori_tribe

The thing confuse me sef. Yoruba and Benin languages are not mutually intelligible. So how on earth did he arrive at that conclusion? Beats me!

Leez:
oduduwa and afonja sold u lot to us as slaves
awo and Tinubu renewed ur slave licenses

OK, let me allow the Yoruba people to give you a befitting answer to your questions. Something tells me you are about to receive the e-thrashing of your life!

Habakus:
Let's leave Onitsha out of this please.

Why? The issues are similar. The Benin people set up Onitsha. At least, historical evidence shows that a Benin prince founded Onitsha. It is the same way your friends have been saying Benin set up Lagos, or they "own' Lagos.

Leez:
stop goal post shifting and respect ur masters

You must be talking about your relatives in Onitsha. Have you reminded your brothers in Onitsha to pay tribute to their Bini masters yet?

Don't forget areas like Opi, Nsukka, Nsugbe and several Igbo communities on the Anambra river, the lower Niger, through Okpanam to Asaba, where the Igala held sway in the past. Tell them not to forget to pay tribute to their Igala masters on their way out.

kalvoken:
For the past two years, I have been loosing it when it comes to praying. I will kneel down for prayer, but would end up not knowing what to say. In most cases, I keep repeating same words over and over again.

Please how do I regain my power to pray. I know within me all is not well.

Go for deliverance. Visit the nearest MFM church so that they can counsel you on how to go about it. Lack of a good prayer life, is a spiritual attack.

Habakus:
What you wrote is pure Yoruba revisionism.
Don't just swallow whatever new generation lies given to you without listening to other views - that has :Dbeen the major problem of Yoruba Osun parasites.
Let me hint you a bit:
Do you know that about 50 percent of the people you presently refer to as Yoruba in SW now were never known as Yoruba and never had any ethnic link with the Yorubas until recently?
Do you know that those people had their own distinct language, culture, etc, completely different from the core Yorubas?
Look at the physical attributes of the present day Yorubas, do you notice any thing that is not common with other homogeneous ethnic groups like the Hausas, Fulanis, Ijaws etc?
What happened? What does that possibly tell you?

Hehehe....the same way 50% of the people in Onitsha were Bini?

morbeta:
This is Kenneth very first media outing.....and he is a million times richer than Ayiri and co. prefers to be out of spotlight. He is Tomoplo's relation and his man Friday. Extremely wealthy and private person.

Is he Igbo?

cashlurd:
So many Igbos are silent billionaires. You dont get to hear or see them flaunting their wealth. But they are always there in the society, making more silent and high yielding investments in so many sectors such as real estate, oil and gas, auto, commerce e.t.c and every other sector that demands buying and selling!!


Shout out to all silent hustlers out there.... May God Make You bigger!
Igbo kwenu!!

Who is the Igbo man in the OP's article??

Shakingdbumbum:
Some people are getting it wrong. I don't think the both couple are Igbo.

Abi, o! So you sef don see am? Abeg, tell cashlurd who seems to think that every rich person he sees online, is an Igbo man.

elshanAutos:
Mileage is 98k actual. oya where is money?

Will call to arrange an inspection, with my mechanic. Thanks.

elshanAutos:
Lol You are not reading properly. A lot of people posting here are not reading well.

He is actually referring to uyplus, and not you. Sir, am still waiting for your response to my question...

baby124:
That's not true. The Binis only came to Lagos Island in a second wave migration. They met Yoruba's there who owned and were ruling the place like the Bajulaiye's, Onikoyi's and ko. They took over for a short while and were subsequently overthrown. Lagos is far bigger than Lagos island, which does not even include ikeja, Ikoyi, Lekki or Ikorodu

You are right. Oh where are the scholars like Katsumoto, Terracotta, K0be, Ramdeuter and other gurus of history, to set the records straight?

Efewestern:
You clearly didn't read the post the other day, didn't you see were the State government and the oba were all saying they won't allow ijaw have their own king?.

you talked calmly here, even providing proof, but you couldn't even see reason to support the ijaws that day, my point is that u are been sectional.

For sure I know Edo has no business in Lagos, they just wanna be relevant.

happy Sunday bro

Oga, go back and read through that entire thread, very carefully. Chieftaincy affairs and traditional titles are gazzetted by state govt, with support of the Chairman of Traditional Rulers Council, within the state. Even the staff of office is presented to newly crowned monarchs by either the state governor, his representative or Chairman of the Traditional Rulers Council.

Did your Ijaw people in Edo go through the process of gazetting the title and following the process to get it ratified by the state? No. That was my question in that thread. They just woke up one morning and decided to crown a king for themselves, without recourse to proper law and order. A kingship that had not even been in existence for over 50 years. On top of that, the Bini had taken the matter up to Supreme court and won. So you expect the state govt to ignore the Supreme Court ruling and crown your Ijaw monarch?

What is sectional about my stand on that?

Blackfyre:
You should have just admitted you did not have the answer to my question. What you were referring to didn't have the answer.

The Idejo families are the owner of Lagos lands, simple as that.

I didn't say I do not have the answer to your question. What I asked you to do, was to conduct independent studies and some research, in order to arrive at the answers, on your own.

Any answer I give you, would still be queried by you. So why not seek enlightenment on your own? And your question was about the ancestry of kings that succeeded King Ado in Lagos. It was not about those who were the original land owners of Lagos.

Efewestern:
we should always support the right thing at all time, that day The edos were laying claim to ijaw land and even expected the ijaws not to have a king.

I said this is wrong and uncalled for, laudate jumped in , started supporting the binis, Now Bini don say Lagos na their land E they talk another thing.

lol.

Guy, go back through all my posts, before you jump to conclusions. My question on that thread was to ask if proper processses were followed before the Ijaw people decided to crown a monarch. Secondly, there were court judgements to validate the Bini claim. So what is your point?

Efewestern:
I hail oo.

you were the supporting Edo the other day when they were laying claim to ijaw land, now here u are saying otherwise.

lol.. NA so, .

I have already replied your previous post. Go back and read my response.

Blackfyre:
Not anymore but they did before right? I believe I acknowledged this bit in the post you quoted so I don't know what makes you feel I need to read up.

However, the question still remains, from the time of King Ado l, the Benin prince, the ancestry of the royal families of Lagos Island are Benin, aren't they?

You are still repeating the same question, which I told you to go back and conduct some studies to get answered. Are you allergic to research?

Blackfyre:
You are dodging my question.

There was no royalty before King Ado, not even a palace. The birth of the royalty of Lagos Island was from King Ado and since he conquered the place and name it Eko, makes all who succeed him his descendants. I also know that deceased Lagos Kings were sent to Benin to be buried and paid royalty to Benin but that stopped after sometime.

Now since its the royal families that owns the land and are the authority over the land, doesn't that mean Benin are by the conquest and Ado, owners of Lagos?

Not anymore. Go back and read up on the history of Logos.

meforyou1:
yes he has. We are not talking of all those oluwole guys from osogbo. We are talking of core Lagos

Who gave him the authority? Your Nri priest, or your dilector?

Gotze1:
You are not mature, had your king or any bini man not known the truth, they would have came out to defend it. I have worked in bini and have family friends there. I met an old man from bini land that told me how awori people of Yoruba extraction made the son of oba of bini kingdom their king. Bini people cannot come out because they know the truth.

See, leave her. Like I said before, have you ever seen any reputable Bini man dragging Lagos with the indigenes before? They don't have time for such petty issues...

This Ajayi-Bembe claiming to be a Benin man...where is his ancestral family quarters in Benin? Where is his Igiogbe in Benin?

The Nupe/Tapa have been in Lagos for centuries. Have you seen any of them dragging Lagos with the indigenes or the Yoruba people?

It is attention seekers that keep raising these controversies to score cheap points.

meforyou1:
Where is gbaye the london hustler? Lagos is not yorubaland, so says a lagos indigene

Does that Lagos indigene have the authority to speak for all other indigenes of Lagos state who run into millions?

ritababe:
he is not an attention seeker, he is telling the truth, have you ever wondered why Lagos is referred to as eko, Bini own Lagos my friend.

Have you ever seen any Bini man, especially from the royal family, ever laying claim to Lagos? They do not engage in such petty controversies. Only attention seekers from Lagos island do that.

And for the record, only parts of Lagos island (or Isale Eko) had anything to do with the Bini. Areas like Ikeja, Surulere, Ilupeju, Gbagada, Maryland, Agege, Ipaja, Badagry, Lekki, Ibeju, Epe, Magodo, Amuwo-Odofin, Orile, Ijanikin, Ogudu, Yaba, Ikorodu etc., had absolutely nothing to do with the Bini.

Larryfest:
Yes it's a sin......only the pastors are permitted to open there business office on a Sunday morning.

And medical doctors, nurses, electricity station workers e.g. DISCO's whose job is to supply power etc? Are they sinners, too?
