Chicagograduate: We do not have one language across humanity. There is no one universal culture across the world either. Prostration or kneel or bow is Yoruba culture. Handshake is western culture, each to its own. Nobody criticizes Chinese for bowing to elders and seniors, or Tibetans prostrating to their priests. Our prostration and kneel in Yorubaland is a honor to a creed popularly known as Omoluabi. We will never depart from it, however much you european-centric voices wail. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Chicagograduate: There is no traditional stool in Nigeria that sits without endorsement and approval of a state governor. It has been so since 1861 after the Treaty of Lagos was signed. It is a legacy of the colonial government, our unitary system of governance has entrenched it and forbids dissent. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ordinarily, in a social gathering Olamide should not be in personal contact with an Oba. But igbalode don spoil matter....and now some Oba are mingling and dining with entertainers, sharing pussy with comedians and jokers. |

Politics / Re: Benin People Found Lagos — Oba of Benin by MetaPhysical: 6:40am On Nov 28, 2023 |
Iga Obanikoro is in Idu Oluwo (also called Idoluwo). Obanikoro has never resided in Idumota. There is no way he could. Obanikoro is Akarigbere, but Idumota belonged to Idejo. The Idejo have all become Kings today after their upgrade. Onikoyi, Elegushi, Onitolo, Onisemo, Onitana...all had their Igas in Idumota. Between Idumota and Idoluwo there is a separation, called Idushagbe. Idushagbe is the only IDU without an Iga. All other IDUs have an Iga in the domain. The reason for that is because Awo Opa is kept at Ishagbe. The Ishagbe settlement became known as Idushagbe. Each IDU is linked by an OJU to the next one. Hence we have Oju Olobun linking Idumota to Iduganran, Oju Olokun linking Iduntafa to Idumagbo, Oju Irowo linked Iduntafa to Iduganran. These are just examples. 1 Like |

The geo-spatial references in Lagos Island are many. I will list just a few here. For those who care to know, they mean a lot. Enu (as in Enu Owa) Ita (as in Ita Koseh) Oke (as in Oke Popo) Isale (as in Isale Eko) Oju (as in Oju Olobun) Idu (as in Iduntafa) Enu is confluence, or a 4-way stop in a road Ita is outskirt, or threshold Oke is upper Isale is lower Oju is epicenter Idu is settlement |

The "founding of Lagos" in HRM's statement is a reference to the "Erinjogun Ola" dynasty. This is the dynasty in Iga Iduganran. The succeeding Obas are scions of Eweka in Benin. The most authentic narration on their ancestry and history was obtained from King Kosoko in his negotiations with British Consul, John Beecroft. Beecroft was trying to win Kosoko over to the British side and offered him friendship, followed by request for his allegiance to Queen Victoria. The King replied by saying he did not desire friendship with the British, and "my allegiance is to Oba in Benin, he coronates authority to the throne". Benin Court dispatched Chiefs to perform ceremonies and rituals of coronation at Enu Owa in Lagos. Here Kosoko was saying Oba of Lagos was a subject of Oba of Benin. Consequently, King Kosoko was the last Oba to get staff of office from Benin. He lost his war against British and departed on exile to Epe. Ever since, no King of Lagos has received staff of office from Benin. When Dosunmu ceeded Lagos to Beecroft, Benin lost its authority over Lagos for ever. The Oba signed allegiance to Queen Victoria, and received Staff of Office from British officials. Conincidentally, this was the tradition of State Governor's power to give Staff of Office to traditional rulers till today. It's origin is Lagos, 1861. There is nothing wrong in saying Benin was the origin of Lagos Monarchy. Political correctness and invisible turf wars over influence and dominance has spilled over and threatened cultural and traditional brotherhood that subsisted our common ancestry. This war of competition has resulted in undesirable outcomes and vastly impacted the Binin people and their land. Beginning in 1962 Benin, under heavy influence of the political class had agitated to be separated from Western Nigeria. The separation was completed in 1963, and till today Benin has remained behind in development and social upliftment, stuck in its provincial age. Other provinces it left behind in Western Nigeria have evolved and attained record progress. In this, there is lessons learnt. However, the political separation also empowered some people, including previous Oba of Benin to seek a cultural and ancestral separation as well. To that end, a controversy erupted which was pushed to create a new identity for Benin, independent of its source in Ife, and also to swap dominance and elevate Benin above Ife. The controversy of origin of the Royals in Iduganran is a parallel and a continuum from the Benin denials of its root in Ife. Ife is father of all of us, from Ghana to Benin and, along with many dispersed nationalities around modern world today. 1 Like |

Oba of Benin was deliberate in making that "founder" statement. He did not believe in the choice of words, hence he struggled to amend it with a clarification and said "maybe part of". By making this claim he has thrown a challenge at historians. Now authorities and academicians will begin to dig for roots that were never before now researched. So in a way, HRM is a social troubleshooter. This is necessary once a while to explore and reveal bonds of commonality amongst the people of Yoruba Commonwealth. It should not be viewed negatively. I will help give clarifications on some of areas that are either confusing or unknown to commentators and participants on this thread. 2 Likes |

In stating that "Benin founded Lagos", I am sure HRM Omo N'Oba means well. Please, I will beg my Yoruba brothers to adhere to the edicts of Omoluabi. 1. You do not attack your own 2. You do not disrespect or dishonor Ori Ade, it is sacred. 3. HRM is not our mate here in nairaland, he is above all the nonsense we are writing. Above all, when we insult Omo n' Oba, it rubs off on his brothers - Alaafin, Awujale, Alake, Orangun and so on. Please, let us desist now. I beg my Yoruba brothers. Love Oba of Benin with same quality and passion of love you will show other Obas. He is not an Obi, he is not Eze, he is not Emir or Etsu. He is an Oba. What does this mean to us? He is Yoruba. He is our Father, our Priest-King, our Warrior-King, our Sacred King. No more harsh and unkind words to HRM. 2 Likes |

Deloitte, Haskins and Sells was renamed Deloitte Touche in 1989. If Tinubu worked for the company prior to 1989, at which time records were still kept in paper files and ledgers, the name of the company he worked for was Deloitte, Haskins and Sells.
