ShoeGetSize: Stop spewing gibberish,Obanikoro is not a bini name ! You guys will just be sounding like an Authority on a subject matter you know nothing about ! How on earth is Obanikoro any Bini name when the word "Oba" itself was alien to the Binis before the arrival of Oranmiyan,a Prince from Ile Ife in their midst ?! The word "Oba" was coined from OBAtala, the first king in Yoruba land and who owns all the Yoruba Oba's crowns till tomorrow! Is Obatala not a Yoruba deity today ?! Believe it or not,the only connection between Lagos royalty and that of Benin's is Oranmiyan ! Go and read the Ijaws'accounts of the history of Benin. The Ijaws stated very clearly in their own accounts that the "Benin royalty is of Yoruba descent" ! The Ijaws are Binis next door neighbors and they witnessed the arrival of "an highly influencial Yoruba Prince from Ife with his very large entourage" ! Go and read the Ijaws accounts of Benin history,it's on the internet ! I don't know if you're a Bini or not but the truth is that Yoruba culture influenced Bini's culture greatly, it's not other way round ! Is "Oyegun" a Bini name ? That's a Yoruba man's name from a family or compound with a renowned chieftaincy tittle ! Words like "Iya Oba", "Olori", "Asipa","Balogun",etc are well rooted in Yoruba language,they are all Yoruba names which the Binis have retained ! Bronze casting which Benin is renowned for today all over the world,was actually an ancient skill of the Ile Ife people which was taken to "Ile Ibinu" - Benin by Oranmiyan's entourage ! These Binis are quite funny and highly illogical in their reasonings. You claim Aworis are Binis but the progenitor of Awori people,Olofin Ogunfunminire was a Yoruba Prince from Ile Ife. Awori's quarters is in Ile Ife till tomorrow! Did Ogunfunminire change his name to Yoruba name or what 'cause that's clearly a Yoruba name ! As a matter of fact,the Olofin there is one the tittles of Oduduwa - Olofin Adimula of Ile Ife. Take it or leave it,Bini people are not Yoruba but the Benin's royalty belongs to the Yoruba and that's the only connection with Lagos ! Olu of Warri recently affirmed his Yoruba root when he visited Ogun state,the king of Accra - Ga Mantse (Adangbe of Accra) recently visited Ooni of Ife in Ile Ife and openly confirmed his Yoruba root,so many Kings in disapora with Yoruba ancestry have repeatedly told whoever cares to know that they are Yorubas from Ile Ife,it is one inconsequential Bini people in just a state in Nigeria who stupidly believe they can rewrite Yoruba history,ko Jo! 6 Likes |

Re: Benin People Found Lagos — Oba of Benin by Iamgrey5(m): 10:14pm On Nov 27, 2023 |
VEHINTOLAR:Actually, Obanikoro is a Benin name However, Obanikoro doesn't have more than the land their iga(house) located at idumota in Lagos island. We have Iga Eletu, iga Kosoko etc. On Lagos island. I believe iga is Benin world for house However, the entire land on Lagos island belongs to Aromire sub clan of the Awori tribes and were known as the White cap chiefs. The white chiefs are like likes of Oniru There's no place one can find any significant Benin influence in Lagos outside idumota. 1 Like 1 Share |

Donaldoni:Yes, I am friends with a lot of Eletu and they preferred to be called Yorubas for obvious reasons. 99% of the idu children in Lagos have not had any connections to Edo in more than 200years and have assimilated into Yoruba culture. They don't know any other culture apart from Yoruba culture. It's similar to Olukumi in Delta State who are surrounded by igbos and have become igbos over many centuries. |

You are talking about mythology and I am talking about verifiable history. Right from the beginning, from the earliest of recorded history, Benin has always dominated Eko politically and they would have continued to do so till this date were it not for the British taking over and forcing Oba Akintoye to sign a treaty which made Lagos a British Colony. Up till that point in Lagos history, all the Obas of Lagos from the first Oba of Lagos Ologun Kutere were buried in Benin. It was only after the British freed Lagos from their Benin masters that Lagos Obas began to be buried in Lagos itself. ![]() VEHINTOLAR: |

Kukutenla: The Present Governor of Lagos is Ijebu All of Eastern Lagos land mass belongs to Ijebuland even though that the Awori have the largest indigenous Population Infact if you look at the Map of Lagos State considering that everything East and North of Lekki is Ijebuland you can argue that about half of Lagos State Land Mass is actually Ijebuland Don't take my word for it just look at the Map of Lagos State yourself and see it with your own 2 eyes half of Lagos State Land Mass is Ijebuland Everything East and North of Lekki, including Ikorodu But that apart as long as Sanwo Olu is Yoruba it is fine Lagos is Yorubaland 2 Likes
