Sambisa is available for claiming but every one like something good. Yoruba Lagos is a good thing .Benin and ibos love to attach to it.

creativehubb:
Mumu, this is 18th century, we are talking of 700 years ago, when yorubas were not in Lagos, Benin empire created Lagos, the main parts of it, Island.

Everyone knows aboriginal southwestern people own the land, because it's where they dominate, but this piece of history about Benin creating Lagos island, and Island areas of Lagos is true.

More traders, both Europeans, Portuguese and local indigenes trooped into island, when Benin empire brought it's security there, it became safe and organised, to live and trade.

Oba of Benin did not say Benin own Lagos, of course the indigenous southwest people own it, but he is stating facts, when he spoke about creating Lagos, and turning it into a bouyant, safe state, to trade and live...the first Oba and all is from Benin empire.

TheOnlyKing:
An Enogie of a community in benin is bigger than any Oba in lagos.

abdeefggh:
Your father is the idiot obviously, how is "osa" an edo word? You should have use google instead of disgracing your generation here.
Even the word benin is derived from yoruba word

hopexter:
This is why I called you an idiot. Osa is God in Edo. Osaretin, Etiosa(male) Etinosa(Female) my name is Osagie. Mention one Yoruba word that has Osa in it you thief . You still have the effrontery to argue you illiterate.

vince2016:
You can say that cos it soothes your ego from inferiority complex. Continue...

abdeefggh:
Mugu there is difference between etiosa and eti osa. Eti osa, the one in Lagos simply means lagoon side 🤡

hopexter:
At first you said Osa isn’t an Edo word, now you’re saying they’re spelt separately. Dunce that know nothing about history want to defend rubbish. Have you ever heard the word Etiosa in the entire Yoruba land? again from any other Yoruba land. Ok tell me, which Lagoon is in Island that Etiosa was named after you lying thief!

whitejs:
How about

Rivers

Port Harcourt

Mention the name of the Bini founder

emee701:
Are you foolish Benin's always slow? All Yoruba's know eti osa as a Yoruba word which means river bank.

abdeefggh:
Ogbeni get lost with your jargons. Its not as if your lamentations and senseless posts will change anything

hopexter:
Hi back to school and complete your secondary school. You can’t even make a correct statement yet you think you are intelligent enough to argue

Etiosa is no longer Lagoon but now river bank . I’m other words, Eti is River while Osa is bank in Yoruba isn’t it? You’re so dumb that you really need to go back to school. You don’t even know what River is called in Yoruba.

Winneepye:
ETI OSA means at the edge of the lagoon this is Lagos island described in yoruba language.

emee701:
Goat. River, ocean, lake practically have almost the same Yoruba word. I know most Benin are generally daft and slow. If not you would have confirmed it using translator. Binifool

hopexter:
Why are you angered that Benin created Lagos?
If you don’t like it why not jump inside Lagoon you thief!

Basic123:
