The entire Yorubas have been barking and ranting in agony and lamentation ever since the great oba of Benin made this shocking revelation.

I'll urge the Yolubas to respect their host as Lagos state and most Yorubaland belongs to the binis and are equally founded by the binis.

P.S no yooluba miscreant should quote, else you'll be seriously Ignored

ONITSHA is more of BENIN ENCLAVE THAN LAGOS

BUT IT WILL NEVER BE A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION BECAUSE ONITSHA IS ONE MISERABLE GOD FORSAKEN LAND IN 21ST CENTURY. NOBODY WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH IT.

They should go and sit down. History has it that Bini Kingdom founded Lagos. No amount of insult or distortion of facts will change that.

If only these cowards defended their people like this when Fulani herdsmen killed them and still chased them away from their land , don't think there will be any need for idp camps In Benin republic for this coward refugees.

They suddenly have their voice now, because it's oba of Benin, but let Fulani come now, all of them will run and hide nobody will mutter a word. Cowards.

Thank God nobody mentioned the 'developers' and Igbos in the history of Lagos... Otherwise, we for no hear word again...

Fact have been paid bare, and records have set straight. Lagos belongs to Awori people who are YORUBAS...

Let me not hear pim from anyone again on this matter...

FiraO9:

Yorubas and deceit.

you absolutely correct. Oba said one thing. they couldn't negate it, they started fighting over what Oba didnt say.

Oba Ewuare said "It is in the history books that the Binis founded Lagos."

Emphasis is on the word "founded".

See what this Yoruba guy is saying: "Point of correction Sir, Lagos was never founded by the Binis. I am glad that you said some parts of Lagos, not the entire Lagos. You are right, your ancestors settled on a small Island that was called Eko then, before the creation of Lagos. On this very Island, they never created it."

Oba was talking about "founding" and not creation. the yoruba guy is talking about "creation".

He ended up corroborating what the Oba said

The fact that Binis founded Lagos still dey pain this people cheesy


They want us to accept their distortion of historical facts like they accepted Tinubu's gorged certificates without cogent empirical evidence.

honestly. they couldnt negate it, they started stirring up controversy where there is none.

Oba Ewuare said "Binis founded Lagos" but Yorubas are saying "Binis didnt create Lagos" and there was nowhere Oba Ewuare said Binis created Lagos

Boda Seyi Law Thank you Jare

Let us add more

Moba Yorubas were settled in Moba Lagos well before the 9th Century before Oduduwa whose Son Oranmiyan established the Benin Throne and Kingdom was Born
They are currently classified with the Awori people but we're in Lagos many Centuries earlier

In the 10th Century when the first Owa Obokun of Ijesha fetched from the Lagos Sea Water to cure Oduduwa's blindness there were already Moba Yorubas. In Lagos and he spent 2 months with them
The idol Worshippers Olokun diety was actually a Moba King called Seniade that ruled from an Island off the coast of Lagos that has now been Submerged by the Sea.
The Moba built the UNESCO world heritage 9th Century Eredo Wall near Ijebu and their kingdom included many Islands off the Coast of Lagos

They have now been included with the Awori people but we're actually the Original Inhabitants of Lagos and were in Lagos Centuries before Oduduwa was Born

The Oore of Otun Ekiti migrated from Moba in Lagos

Moba is near Victoria Island and their Crown predates Oduduwa's own


Yorubas forefathers might not have been great at Technology but God Almighty definitely gave them Prodigious History Art and Music
All Glory be to God Almighty

You aptly put it except that Ereko of Olokun Seniade was part of pre Oduduwa Ufe (the Atlantis). That's why Seniade has a burst (image) in Ile Ife just like other kings of Ufe origin as far as Nana of Ashanti in modern day Ghana

If Lagos that's almost twice the size of the entire southeast was badly managed like the southeast no one will wanna lay claim to it but now that the Yorubas have managed n brought about astronomical development by being accommodating to all tribes, everybody is laying claim to his ownership. Oba of Benin is a respected Oba and Yoruba people will not desecrate his throne, oba' gha tokpere, ise. Benin n Yoruba are one. We have no problem with Binis had it been Na Obi of Onitsha make this kind comment, e for hear am very hot.

Racoon:
Oba really touched a nerve. But Fulani confidently claimed Ilorin and chase people to find refuge in Benin Republic, them no talk pim. Instead they were protesting and standing with their killer Palestinian terrorists brothers in Monatan - Iwo Road.
Yet your people are everywhere finding refuge. Go and get back your land from Obi of Onitsha.

When any Oba of Bini visits Ile Ife the king will vacate his seat to allow the Oba of Bini seat on it. What does that mean to you?
A Bini Prince who was supposed to be the next king left the kingdom and became the King of Ile Ife. He couldn't return to Bini kingdom but rather sent his son to become the king in Bini kingdom.

During the slave trade and other trades with the British the Binis founded Eko. Other Yourabas later joined the trade and was made to pay royalties to the Oba of Bini. There might be pockets of yoruba people in other parts but certainly not Eko that is close to the Ocean.
