Benin owned the entire Lagos of today

Regardless the benin majorly influence Lagos Island because that was the seat of power
The Area called Lagos now, that was formed by the military government benin governed them along with Lagos Island in the past

Ile Ife owned Benin

Do you know that Benin was founded by the Ancient Pre Oduduwa Ado Ekiti People and the first Ogiso was from Ile Ife ?

The first Igodomigodo which Oranmiyan later named Ile Ibinu was in the Ado Ekiti area it was the 3rd Ogiso who moved the location to Edo State because of War
That is why Yorubas still call Benin People the Ados till today

That was also why when Benin needed a new dynasty king they returned to Ile Ife to fetch Oranmiyan

Beremx:
Meaning the British owns Lagos. Urchins won't like this news.

Hehehehehe

British colonizied Nigeria not Lagos ... and the fact that Nigeria collected Independence means British have no legal right or ownership over any part of Nigeria.
Next time just google the meaning of cession before publicly embrassing yourselves

The first time I heard that Lagos is a no man's land was from the mouth of a Yoruba person in nairaland I have never heard real people or igbos say this, but every now and then Yoruba people will come to igbos say Lagos is no man's land, if they are sure in the heart that Lagos is Yoruba land, why should they feel threatened fight to tell people that Lagos belongs to Yoruba, nawao, just like may be an housa iroba man will just say imo is a no man's land, I will start filling gitery, for what when I know that it's an ibo land, nawaoo for Yoruba people

Ode, that is who you be.

It's not even for Yorubas, originally, the indigenes are Aworis and Eguns. All other tribe just settled there because it was a federation capital.

So aworis are not yoruba?

Iamgrey5:
Rufai claimed the treaty was for the whole of Lagos.

I said it's not possible because every area in Lagos has their own king.

Rufai na mad man

Binis are not Lagosians. They ruled over lagos but they were never indigenes. And all the kings that have ruled were yorubas. Aworis are subgroup of the Yorubas. Even when Benin captured lagos, oba of Benin a always appoint someone from the aworis to be the king. From time immemorial till now, no other tribe or people have ever be the king of lagos aside the aworis. Enough of all these misconceptions

Very deep insight from oseni, a man I respect for his stands on issues.

Lagos is not a no man's land.
Lagos is not a yoruba land.
Lagos has its indigenous people who are the binis and aworis.

Every other person is either a lagosian by birth or a migrant.
Any other thing is bull shit.

Rufai Oseni is a clown who shouldn't be taken serious by any sensible person. The British also signed treaties with the Oyo Empire, Sokoto Caliphate, Obong of Calabar, Shehu of Borno, and others. In fact, Port Harcourt was built by the British. Also, New Calabar was created by the British. They built and also destroyed. Moreover, most of those treaties were signed under duress.

Can any self-respecting person go to Calabar today to say the place is a no man's land because it was built by the British? NO.

Rufai na foool.

owned Lagos? How dumb can he be? Are British in any way indigenous to Lagos? Fame can't stop one from being dumb. If you are destined to be dumb you will surely be dumb.

It's the Aworis that became the first inhabitants of Lagos followed by the Ijebus and later other clans of Yoruba. Aworis are Yorubas. The Binis came to Lagos as source of trading due to its closeness to the sea. Morseso, Lagos was in nedd of a ruler around 1700s and a Benin prince called Ado seized opportunity to be King. His presence brought some Benin culture to Lagos but the city still maintained it's Yoruba heritage and population.
It's to be noted that Benin and Yorubas has close cultural ties. Because the first Oba of Benin was a Yoruba man, the great Oranmiyan.
So when it comes to modern Lagos, all tribes are welcomed but Igbos must be careful to drag issues.

FisifunKododada:


Are you the Edo person that claim Lagos belong to your village headmaster? Tell you village headmaster to come and collect it. What is he waiting for?

You are just being emotional. Lagos has changed hands numerous times, and by Lagos I mean Eko - Lagos Island, parts of Lagos Mainland bordering Ebutemeta, Apapa and Yaba. The Aworis were recognized as the first settlers there, the Benis took it over and named it Eko, the Portuguese took control and renamed it Lagos, then the British took over and made it their administrative capital. After independence it was handed over to western Nigeria.

Now there is even another animosity brewing between the original inhabitants of Lagos and other Yorubas who feels that they have been cheated in the politics, economy and land allocation in Lagos State. Since independence no indigenous Lagosian had been Governor of Lagos State. Most political offices allocated to Lagos is being held by Yorubas from other villages and towns, grom Kogi to ondo to Osun.

sweetjohn:
Imagine the height of deceipts. A Yoruba man from Ogun, or Osun telling a true lagosian not to vote their own brother and sons but vote them. And to add pepper to injury, this osun and Ogun immigrants branded your own brother outcast and you are appruading them. Quick two questions. How many Lagosian have ruled Lagos or made half of the money Tinubu stole from Lagos? How many Lagosians have gone to Ogun or Osun to contest for governorship and win? An ananmbra man can not come to Ebonyi to contest election and win neither will any south east person go to any other south east state to try such. So, the ball is now on your court true Lagosian. Don't fall to this cheap blackmail from all this Yoruba immigrants from other sw states. Don't be a slave in your own land.

Waiting concern Igbos with gubernatorial positions in Lagos or any other states. No Igbo man have ever gone to any other states to contest for governorship. But according to the constitution, every Nigerians has the power to vote anywhere he or she resident. Ours is just to vote and yours (the true indigene) is to contest. And from my rights accorded to me by the constitution of Nigeria, I say vote for LP from top to bottom in Lagos states.

Igbos are the most civilized tribe. We don't threaten people on who to vote and not to vote. We have never burnt any person shops, houses or business places.

Igbos don't do tribalism and don't even have time for it when he is supposed to be making money in his shop. Tribalism is practice be jobless tribal bigots and supported by brainless individual.

You all should have known the Igbos by now, Igbos don't succumb to threat. It's not today they have started threatening the Igbos. For years the Igbos have been threatened in the north but we are still strong there. In 2015, the Oba of Lagos who instead of supportibg his own, Agbaje but due to poor rational ability and low self esteem, threatened the Igbos of Lagoon if they should vote for Agbeje his own brother. What happened? Igbos all came out to vote en mass for Agbeje.
Come March 18th, even the Igbos that don't want to vote before in Lagos will come out enmass to vote for Gbadebo. The average Igboman Loves challenges and hate it when one try to play god over another. We don't do eye service, we say it as it is and leave the truth glaring to your face.

that is how agbaje lost 4yrs ago, because he thought idiotic pigs of biafra can help, not knowing they're less than 15%,
Don't be deceived that because obi get 50% vote from all tribe including some Yorubas, does not mean Lp will get 25% votes,
It do happen every 4yrs, presidential election is always a tight contest in Lagos, but governorship is one way victory,
Even this last national assembly election, people that voted for obi did not vote for Lp senate or rep members

This is Lagos island not Lagos State.

Just like Oyo state is different from Oyo town.

Enugu town is different from Enugu state

Lagos State is a Creation of the Nigerian military government.

By the way, there is nothing contentious in saying Lagos State is Yoruba land.

The whole of Nigeria once belonged to Royal Niger company as a private property. It doesn't mean there were no indigenous Hasuas in Kano or indigenous Igbos in Anambra at that time.

That's the thing, most of the Yoruba who were in Lagos at the time were all chased from the hinterland by the 100 years Yoruba wars.

Today, they are all claiming Lagos.

In Benin City, there is a street called Lagos Street, that is the place where the children of the British-deposed Oba of Lagos migrated after their father was deposed.


They returned there because they knew where their father came from.

No need for long irrelevant story. Yorubas are the indigenous people of Lagos. Yorubas were in Lagos before the arrival of portugese, before bini established a trading post or the arrival of the british. QED. Anything else is just irrelevant to the fundamental question.

Whatever the British did in lagos was also done in calabar. Does that mean the British own calabar as well? Rufai oseni always claiming right even if he is in the wrong lane. Are British indigenous to calabar or lagos? Very dumb statement.

@ emboldened is a lie sir

The deposed oba of Lagos, Kosoko was exiled in Epe.

That's the reason why we have two Epes today. We have Epe Eko ruled by the descendants of Kosoko and Epe Ijebu which is the original Epe.

On returning to Lagos, the Chief negotiator between Akintoye and Kosoko was given a parcel of land by the Colonial masters. The Chief negotiator is no other than Chief Tapa Oshodi (a Nupe man who grew up in Lagos amogst the Yorubas). He was given a vast Forest in the land called Oshodi Eko today.

Let me even ask you something. Are you Yoruba? If not, then you're only fooling gullible Nigerians.

The issue between Yoruba Lagosians and Yoruba Ara Oke has been there from time immemorial. So, you're wrong to say something is brewing. In fact, the issue has died down in recent years, unlike how it used to be in the First Republic.

Look, many of these Yoruba Lagosians migrated to Lagos from other Yoruba towns. The fact is that you cannot separate one Yoruba town from the other. Nobody is more Lagosian than Sapara Williams, the first qualified lawyer in Nigeria. For your information, Sapara Williams' lineage is Ijesa. Moreover, you cannot be more Lagosian than the Ijebus of Epe and the Aworis who are bonafide Yoruba sub-groups.

Most of these Yoruba Lagosians who amplify issues between them and other Yoruba sub-groups are the resettled slaves from Brazil and Sierra Leone like Bode George and Rhodes-Vivour who don't even have ancestral lands in Lagos.

I want you to answer this question,
Who owned Lagos between 1AD and 1860AD?

Ignorantly saying Lagos was owned by British betrayed the colonalisation of our land

The word Yoruba was meaningless at the time of the arrival of the Binis and the portuguese. It was the Fulanis that coined the word Yoruba.

Even the whole Nigeria was owned by the British for more than 8 decades, Fight between the Portuguese and the British lasted for long b4 the agreement document came up you idiot.

That's why the descendants of white cap Chief Elegushi has more land in Lagos than oba of Lagos.

The rep cap Chief like Obanikoro only have their family compound like iga Obanikoro, Iga Kosoko in idu-mota

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get to Lagos from ANYWHERE (outside Yorubaland) in Nigeria without going through at least 2 other Yoruba states. So, if the Edos (together with their okoro enablers) want to come and collect Lagos, they have to cross Ondo first and then Ogun state before they get to the border of Lagos.

Lagos is bordered COMPLETELY by Ogun state and the Atlantic Ocean. That means only two groups can be indigenous to Lagos: Yorubas and fishes (from the ocean). If you're not a Yoruba or an Atlantic fish, you're not indigenous to Lagos. Know this and know peace. This message is especially for the foolish bini people and their Ibo enablers. Because if you're not Yoruba and you're claiming Lagos, then you must be a fish and we will either send you back to the Atlantic OR prepare roasted fish with boli.
