The same age as the Oba of Benin dynasty
It was after the first Oba of Ikorodu left his brother Oranmiyan in Benin that he founded Ikorodu
He had followed Oranmiyan to Benin from Ile Ife

I think you are mixing things up. Ikorodu is an offshoot of Sagamu. In fact, it's the farmland of Sagamu people.

The Remo People had at least 30 Towns and sometimes War had them fleeing back and forth between the Towns but have no doubt Ikorodu is an Ancient Remo Settlement
Though it first started out as a Farm Oko Odu

Sagamu is a recent Remo Town founded around the Time of Ibadan and Abeokuta

Abagworo:
But in truth Lagos culture and ethnic composition is distinguishable from proper Yoruba because Slave returnees, other Nigerians, Europeans, non-Yoruba Egun natives, Asians and other factors are in the mix. It is what it is and shouldn't be a big issue

Your statement would have made sense if u included Lagos Yoruba native.
There are Yoruba people who are native to Lagos. That's what you and that gbadebo guy don't understand.

He even managed to diss and throw Awolowo under the bus.

What do you expect from a Brazilian slave? or is Vivour-Rhodes a Yoruba name? Slaves will always behave like one.

I blame some of the foolish Yoruba people who are still following this slowpoke called Chinedu...his intention towards Yoruba people supposing he became the governor could have been bad...
Because his mother has brainwashed him about Yoruba people...and surprisingly he wants to rule Yoruba people....
And this is what you get when you marry outside of your tribe....and the children are been indoctrinated....
I was born and bred in Lagos State...and I can tell you for free that the most populous language in Lagos State is Yoruba language....
It is high time the traditional rulers in Lagos State wake up from their slumber to this occasion that is about to hit them. like a Tsunami...

Some People are just deliberately trying to Create Problems for Yorubas in Lagos

It cannot stop Lagos from being 100% Yorubaland

Lekki where Gbadebo Rhodes lives is even Ijebuland

Lagos Island that he is from belongs to the Awori Yorubas

His Creole Ancestors were Settlers there

They are called Saro for a reason. They are not Omo Oduduwa. They were dumped at the Lagos Port by the Europeans and Americans at the end of the Slave Trade. They have lived among us and been absolved into our Culture. Anyone of them that behaves like a bastard will be told his forefather's origin

Most of them were Overseas returned Yoruba enslaved people many of them were even if noble birth that has been captured in War and Sold

For example Oba Haastrup of Ilesha was a returnee Saro as well as an Ijesha Prince

He became the Oba of Ilesha after he returned from Slavery
Bode Thomas was from a Noble Oyo Family and was a high Chief of Oyo
He was a Saro I believe his father was an Oyo Prince who was a Son of Alaafin Abiodun who returned from Slavery

There was another Oba who was a returnee Saro ex Slaves

The Coker Family of Abeokuta are from the Egba Royal family

Several of the returnees are Yoruba though. Ajayi Crowther was a Yoruba man for example and had even translated several books into Yoruba language when no one could at that time. All what Yoruba had was spoken literature until Ajayi Crowther started translating it into written Yoruba form. He knew where he came from. He was from a noble Oyo family.

However some of the returnees didn't know where they came from but were accommodated. That's the case of Vivour considering he doesn't know where he came from till now and doesn't even know Lagos is Eko which is a Yoruba name. A typical Nigerian should even know Eko na. Aside the fact that Rhodes vivour isn't a Nigerian, he can be quite dumb because just look at wetin he dey talk sef. And he needs to go find something doing first before even contesting for a councilor. Politics isn't a career.

If you can, you should try the Egunsi with Ebiripo instead. Ebiripo is another Ijebu swallow. It's not as common as the ikokore.

Egusi is an Igbo name.

There was no egusi in the old Yoruba food. It was not mentioned in any history book.

Quoting from Quora 😂😂😂

Let me quote for you and you show me where there is a mention of soup anywhere here.

Egusi itself is an igbo word.


Egunsi" is a term that originates from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, specifically within the context of Yoruba religious and spiritual beliefs. In Yoruba cosmology and spirituality, "Egun" generally refers to the ancestral spirits or the collective spirits of deceased family members.

The concept of "Egunsi" represents reverence for and communication with deceased ancestors. It encompasses rituals, offerings, and ceremonies dedicated to honoring and seeking the guidance and protection of one's ancestors. Offerings such as food, drinks, and prayers are made to the Egunsi as a way of maintaining a connection with the spiritual realm and seeking the ancestral spirits' blessings and assistance in various aspects of life.

These practices are deeply rooted in Yoruba culture and traditional religious beliefs, and they are known for their significance in upholding and honoring ancestral traditions. Egunsi practices also play an integral role in Yoruba religious ceremonies and cultural expressions, reflecting the importance of ancestral reverence within the Yoruba community.

It's important to note that Yoruba spirituality is part of a rich and diverse religious tradition that has been influenced by centuries of cultural practices, and it continues to play a significant role in the religious and cultural identity of the Yoruba people, both in Nigeria and within the Yoruba diaspora around the world.

Christistruth.

Even the people in villages in south west do not call it egusi.

Don't mix Egusi as a food with Egunsi which is an offering

Egunsi refers to a type of Yoruba deity or spirit in the traditional religion of the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin. In Yoruba cosmology, Egunsi are considered to be cosmic forces that represent the power of the ancestors and are responsible for bringing about transformation and rebirth. They are often associated with the forces of nature, such as thunder and lightning.

Egunsi originated from the Yoruba ethnic group in Nigeria and has been an important part of their religious and cultural traditions for centuries. The worship of Egunsi is still practiced by many Yoruba people today, both in Africa and in diaspora communities around the world.

You can laugh all you want. I'm trying to let you know that Egusi as a food is different from Egunsi which is a form of worship

Okay. Noted.

I am just hearing of Egunsi being a god that is worshiped for the first time. And I know a bit about the IFA tradition. I can't also find that in any of my Yoruba dictionaries of Egunsi being a god or deity. Not even the very old ones from the 1950s.

That was the Map of Lagos and the Western Region at Independence
Ikeja then included practically the entire Sea Coast of Lagos City

The entire Western Region including Ikeja Badagry Epe Ikorodu
We’re under Awolowo
Only Lagos Island where the dot is was under the FG

At independence Lagos Island was handed back to Awolowo by the British because it was Yorubaland
Awolowo permitted the FG to continue to operate from there

Mumu .
How developed was Ikeja and co under the western region?
Awolowo didn't develop Ikeja

It was Awolowo that built ikeja and it’s Surroundings out of a Thick jungle that was Swarming with Antelopes, Monkeys , Leopards, , Buffaloes Gorillas And Elephants
Into the Commercial Capital of the Western Region , Under Awolowo ikeja Division included all the lagos Coast outside lagos Island

The Dream that made lagos into an Economic Power was awolowo’s Dream and in 1962 awolowo was Jailed for that Dream

You don't even know the History of Lagos

Ikenne is still in Ogun State and Ikeja was not annexed but it included Lagos State created in by Gowon with Awolowo's full permission in 1967 by which time Ikeja was already a Smash hit Super Star and huge Success
All Glory be to God Almighty
Ikeja was built to be the Commercial Capital of the Western Region and all it's Industrial Estates were also built by Awolowo
Even Lekki was in Awolowo's Western Region

Even Lagos Island was handed to Awolowo at Independence
he only allowed it to continue to be the Capital and Seat of the National Govt
