Idimu means so many meanings. Example is fight. Eko is the short form of ereko. You can't claim you control Lagos and yet Yoruba is the only language spoken , only Yoruba kings are in Lagos and only yoruba sub tribes.
Now I'm asking you again, why is non of your lineage a king in Lagos

Meninmen:
[s]Lol. Dundee United asking irrevelant question. We are on who came from who and you are asking

"zombish" question.

Let me briefly explain it for your sawdust brain to understand.

Oranmiyan was a Benin prince. He left Benin to rule Ile-ife. So when the Oba of Benin at a later time asked the king of Ile-ife to send down a sculpturer, the Oba of Benin was asking his subordinates (the ruler in Ile-ife) to send a sculpturer which he obliged.

Know your history first so you won't leave real questions to be asking foolish questions[/s]

Getat! You lack basic knowledge of perspective and geography. I spit on your unfortunate head. Tufia!

tobstarizhia:


I can't even waste my time with you. It took only one year (1897. It took about a week at the most) for the British to attack and totally destroy your "GREAT" kingdom and send your king fleeing with his tail between his legs. But from when the British came to the Igbo hinterland in the late 90s of the 19th century, it took them until the 1920s for them to actually say they conquered the Igbos. Even that topic has been argued on by many because the Igbos still kept fighting the British a long time after that. Stateless societies are actually more formidable than centralized ones. This is due to their ability to attack using guerilla tactics. This is why it's difficult to defeat Boko Haram but the IPOB and OODUA movement can be defeated by taking out their heads.

Walkee:
lol you don't even know what you are talking about

Dpharisee:
We should change the name of this site to IgboStoryLand, it seems the level of bias against Igbos is astronomical.
The stories that drive traffic here are Igbo related, Nigerians are really intrigued by that beautiful tribe
This story will get to page 5 in a few minutes of posting with lots of anti Igbo vitriol.

When they thought that Igbos were down Obi Cubana and his friends pulled a surprise and grounded every other events in the country and focused it on Oba, Anambra for a whole week.

Nnamdi Kanu makes news here every despite being in detention, tomorrow Nigeria plays Argentina in the Olympic basketball games both men and women, the language of those games will be Igbo as 13 out of 15 players are Igbos with 6 playing in the NBA.

Nisiw365:

You're the one who doesn't know what he's talking about. You claim you own a place but no sign to prove such. You don't speak their langauage. None of the oba is Benin. No Edo/Benin subtribe in Lagos

Walkee:
lol you are a kid if you think places in Lagos will have Esan names by miracle.
I told you how those places got their names and their meanings and you are here bringing up incoherent jargons.Ẹdo people Annexed the swamp, named it Ẹko meaning settlement, lekki was called Ẹki, meaning market which was were Ẹdo soldiers sold Yoruba slaves to the Portuguese, those Yorubas have a significant Yoruba culture in Brazil till present. Where the slaves were kept was called idumigbon meaning slave quarters, it was later changed to idumigbon / idumagbo meaning meaning humans quarters. Other parts of Lagos have Bini and etsako names.
Eko is completely surrounded by Yoruba villages so it's normal for Yorubas to have a large number of people there

Wrong!

Eko came from the Benin

It is a Benin word

Answer the question or go home. Nobody has time to babysit your slow brain.

Nisiw365:

Stop sounding like a lunatic. If your claim is true. Why is it that no Edo/benin man is a king in Lagos. Why no Benin speakers in lagos. Why why why. Answer me and stop sounding like a disturbed baby

Walkee:
how does fight relate to the name of a place? Come to uromi and Ekpoma and see if almost every village here doesn't have idumu affixed to it. In Ekpoma you have idumebo meaning Quarters of native doctors, ihumudumu meaning Quarters of the poor. Ihumudumu is one of the largest area in Ekpoma. My village you have idumueni meaning elephant quarters, you have idumokojie, idumuagba etc. Idumota in Lagos means talk talk Quarters.
My place is referred to as ukpeko meaning small settlement by neighbouring clans

Walkee:
the current ọba in Benin has Yoruba and ogiso blood, does that mean Ẹdo people are Yorubas? You are talking about Lagos that was bought by the Portuguese and had a king installed not some ancient Kingdom.
Does Nigeria have a Brit as president?

Nisiw365:

Edo people are Yoruba. Go and find out. Edi was founded by oranmiyan

Walkee:
the Oba was half Yoruba and half igodomigodo. The whole place known as Edo was already in existence as far back as 900AD.

Walkee:
what the fucck is ereko and what significance does it hold, why was it called ereko?
Lagos was bought by the European. How are we supposed to have tribes and King there when it's surrounded on all sides by Yorubas? No matter what, Yorubas from neighbouring vicinity will naturally sieve into the region and overrun it since it's the most important trading hub at that time. With the influx of people came the culture

distributeinc:

Your Biafran forces were rag tag, they were fighting a war of attrition. Nigeria armed forces is in charge of all security in Nigeria, so no fight between ibo and Edo...tribes with military prowess did their thing when it was free for all, Ibos had no military power. We heard of Benin Empire warriors, Ashante warriors, fulani jihadists conquest etc, I never heard of any prehistoric ibo army before the amalgamation that did conquests. You jungle animals were still hiding in your caves, when we were colonizing other tribes, towns and nations...Shut the fck up, and stop making wishes. Talk reality, you guys never attacked or conquered any tribe in history cos you were weak. Historically strong tribes colonize weak tribes. Once a slave, always a slave.

Meninmen:


Lol. Both of us who is lying here? You said your village (which I believe is in the South East) is bigger than Benin.

Look closely at this Nigerian map. look at the size of Edo state. Then look the size of all 5 south eastern states combined. Putting Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and abia states together is not up to the side of Edo

Nisiw365:

Oba forefathers migrated from ile ice. All Edo's are yorubas

Walkee:
lol. You are too ignorant sef I feel defrauded for trying to lecture you. Igodomigodo has already lasted over 600 years before oromiynan impregnated the daughter of Ogiegor.

Mexzy4sho:
Mumu!!!!

So unnecessary.

Woman no even talk about anything relating to history then Gbam!!!! Reno don dey school person.

Mumu!!!!

distributeinc:

A son comes under his father not a father under a son, Biafra came under Benin, the Benin Empire supersedes all other kingdoms, in the South of the River Niger, South of Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu goofed, a slave must know it's place, no one is coming under biafra, we are not one in the real sense, a bit of differences, some were slaves and some were kings and Princes.

KingOdart:


Pounded Yam is a well known Yoruba's food mostly eaten by Ijesa(Yoruba sub tribe) and Ife people same as Amala but Amala is mostly eaten by Oyo people


Which part of the Ekiti/Ondo culture tilts toward Edo?

Is it the Monarchial system? Dressing? no Ondo/Ekiti language is Edoid

If you don't know there is actually no core Yoruba, no Yoruba is more Yoruba than the other

It is actually Benie culture that tilts toward Yoruba, which part of Benin culture wasn't gotten from Yoruba?

DriveByKiller:
they've beaten you like a market thief and you're desperately hanging on typos.

Na God go punish your mama and her shameless whoring DNA 100% manifest in you.

Emilokoiyawon:


Look at this ewu confusing Edo with Bini. I knew you are a fool, I blame myself for giving you some attention. Idiat! Getat! You are below me!

BKayy:

Not new style. It was what brought Bini into Biafra map. Now we call it Idu (Igodomigodo) . It was our land and we must claim it.
They now have no option but to Fight 40m Ndigbo with their almost 2m population.
If you have noticed, they have stopped but it is already too late. We need land and coast.
Ijaws handed over Ubani and Opobo that we have almost forgotten back to us when they tried to claim Ndoki.
Now we are having Warri on a platter of Gold. They said they took it from us, so it is natural for us to come back for it.
As from today, Warri becomes a permanent integral part of Igboland.
