Please quote also the Oba of Benin, saying that Bini founded Lagos State. Don't just stop where he said he is a descendant of Oduduwa.

From Edo no be Lagos to na we found Lagos. “ Palm wine talk “

Benin kingdom is Yoruba territory “We will tell you “ that for free

Benin people if there’s anything you would like to watch today, these videos are for you to learn, so grab a cup of tea and watch/read.

When Oba of Bening visited Ile Ife to see where his forefathers were buried in Ile Ife.

They used to send Dead Oba of Benin to Ile Ife for burial.

We own the Royalty in Benin

I still don't get all the fuss about a king making a historical claim.
This is befuddling

The Oba did not say Bini founded Lagos State.

There was nothing like Lagos State at that time. The Bini's governed and oversaw economic activities within an area - an island which was named Eko.

You should also understand during that era, there was nothing like 'Yoruba' as a collective group. The empires/kingdoms within the region were Ife, Bini, Oyo, Ijebu and one other, can't recall right now - Ijesa.
And there was a lot of interrelationship between these people, even in terms of leadership.
That's one of the reasons up till today, you'll see someone from a sub-ethnic group from a certain State governing another State as is seen in Lagos. Also why you must have seen the history that the first Oba of Benin was a son of Oramiyan from Ife. It has been that way.

Over time, with the creation of States, Lagos State was formed, having up to 5 major divisions including Eko.

Small time now if them start to demolish...

Benin people hope you have had from your beloved king mouth?, this means Benin evolved from Yoruba or Yoruba colonized Benin.

Because Afonjaland was Benin Empire's dustbin and graveyard back then.
