Parachoko: I said pronounce you’re talking about naming. They indeed named Lagos and most island in Nigeria on their first arrival. Do you know that they also taught us how to cultivate the tubers/carbs we consume today….? Corn, Plantain, Tapioca (Cassava Flakes) and many more were Portuguese food which they taught us. They really need to bring back History, cause most of you don’t even know the land you live in. 1 Like |

jmoore: I did some further research into that and according to Wikipedia the reason for this was: The proposal was rejected by Kosoko "on the technical reason that Lagos was under the Oba of Benin (traditional ruler and the custodian of the culture of the Edo people and all Edoid people) and that it was only that Oba who could deal with foreign powers concerning the status of Lagos" Does this further support the recent statements that Lagos actually is an Edo Peoples owned region/state rather Yorubas? Both references from the above quote on Wikipedia are from Nigerian historians. |

Rybnyk: Do you expect racists to write anything positive about Africans? Lagos was a farm so they traded food, palm, almond, potatoes, tomatoes, pepper, metal, aluminum, gold, bronze, rare gems, rice, cassava, yam, corn, clothes, masks, wood e.t.c Why will they invade and colonize Africans if Africans didn't have anything to trade in? You think too little of Africans because you read and get your history from eu:ropeans or their lackeys in Africa. 1 Like |
Re: Lagos Means Slave Coast - Seun Kuti by codemaniacs: 3:40pm On Mar 08, 2023 |
SeunDAssLicker: They never taught us how to cultivate those foods because those foods have indigenous names for them before the eu:ropeans came to Africa. Anything that already has indigenous names was not brought by eu:ropeans. Your indigenous languages are older than the eu:ropeans. Stop saying nonsense.. |

silverkings: The Document you are holding and raving over is a 99 year leasehold that can be revoked at any time by the State Governor or by the Landowners if you fail to pay them their Land rent regularly We beg you to refuse to pay your Land rent so you can know who the owners of Lagos are when they take back their Land 1 Like 1 Share |

sniperr007: Bini never had influence in Lagos or anywhere in Oyo Empire because Lagos didn't exist then. Oba of Bini had an intermediary in the place called Lagos and that's the person you Binis have been over hyping. Lagos was called Oko which means farm, the Oba of bini's intermediary who the Oba used as diplomat to trade with the Yorubas called it eko because it was heavily militarised by Yoruba women warriors. Lagos was a farm and commercial point of the Oyo Empire and was occupied by Yoruba warriors and it extended into benin republic and Togo. Yorubaland and Yoruba people does not end in Nigeria or Lagos, it ends in Togo and some parts of Ghana. When the Portuguese came they traded with Yorubas in the places now called Lagos, Cotonou and Porto Novo. Lagos, cotonou and Porto Novo used to be one whole Yoruba farm and commercial point. 1 Like |

BuyMeBanger: All of Lagos State was under politically and Militarily Egbas of Abeokuta Ijebu and Oyo , only Lagos Island was under Oba of Lagos and the entire Island belonged to the Awori Yoruba Oba Kosoko was playing the British Benin was not in Control of Lagos since before Oba Adele his grandfather neither did Benin turn up to defend Lagos when the British Bombarded Lagos |

Moh247: Truth is that as much as we claim eko as Lagos. Eko was like you mentioned Lagos island while other areas like mainland Lagos was controlled by the Oyo empire. And just like it was done in Europe, royals from different kingdoms marry each other for peace and trade. So it's not out of place for a Yoruba prince to be in the bini court and vice versa. |

codemaniacs: 🫢😟 Olodo on the loose. Go read a book about history. Southern Nigeria was were they arrived first, Golf of Guinea was their biggest challenge and it led them to Warri (Escravos/Slave Island). Portuguese were not interested in Oil but Palm oil and Rubber so they invited the Brits. In History, Spain and Portuguese are the biggest and most rugged sailors, only them could sails the Golf of Guinea and that’s how they discovered oil. I know you block heads know nothing, but try read some history. Tapioca (Cassava Flakes) Is a typical Portuguese word still being mistaken for a native Nigerian language. Jollof rice is actually Portuguese risotto. And what food do you have that is Pre Colonial..? https://academic.oup.com/book/37224/chapter-abstract/328807450?redirectedFrom=fulltext https://www.jstor.org/stable/24328537 A piece of history for your block head.

sniperr007: I don't need a source.. it's common sense. All the way from what is now Ondo and some parts of Edo state down to the borders of Togo and Ghana was the Oyo Empire and Yoruba territory. It will be suicidal of the Binis if they tried to claim anywhere in the Oyo empire due to the fact that Yorubas have a higher population than them and 99% of Yorubas were warriors. |

codemaniacs: Benin were the ones with warriors. The way you lot twist history to suit Yoruba heritage is actually a disgrace that you lot have no idea what you’re talking about. Only Benin, UK, and Saudi has the Kingdom title anywhere, and that is for a reason being the vantage point between the Colonials and the Benin Empire. Yoruba’s we’re still dealing with intertribal conflicts when Benin warriors were being sent to different Souther states including Eko. |
