And he skipped a very important aspect. How come the Aworis were now paying taxes to the Benins? This people will never accept the truth. |

forgiveness: The last Ogiso of Benin was his father. To say the Benins have not answered that question is outright falsehood. I knew that story since the 80s. |

Forty miles from Benin lies a large town called Lago (Lagos) which also belongs to the king of Benin. It lies on the island and is a frontier town surrounded by a strong fence. In it live none but soldiers and four military commanders, who behave in a very stately manner. Every day they come together in the kings house and make a sacrifice every morning. After the sacrifice, they hold court in the open air, in front of the kings house. Whoever has anything to complain about make his complaint. They all fall on thier knees when they present thier case in front of the kings house, and when one man is giving a verdict in his favour, he thanks the authority and the king. Also two envoys always stands with the judge and listen to what is done. Every day these two sends news off to the king, informing him of what the judges have done that day. They do this throughout the whole year. This is practised not only in Lago but also in other towns of the king, as well as in Benin itself. Many people come to the aforesaid town Lago, by water and land, with thier wares, which consist of beautiful cotton cloths woven in all kind of colours and patterns". Andreas Ulsheilmer voyage of 1603-1604, translation by Adam Jones in German Sources For West African History, 1599-1669, pp 40-41. |

FreeStuffsNG: You are the worst liar on this forum. I find the picture of Ojaja II sitting in front very amusing. He has his shoulders high, obviously happy to be sitting in front. I am sure he came to the venue first so that he can sit in front.. Very small personality. |

This is from Samuel Nomamiukor on Facebook: I made the observation that pre colonial Lagos was under Benin domination for the fact the when Ruy De Sequeira visited Lagos in 1472 he was directed to Benin. It was from Lagos that he came to Benin in thesame year. Another case was when Aina the goat rearer who was accused of witchcraft and exiled by Olofin went to Benin and appealed for Oba Orhogbua's intervention. Another pointer was the statement by the Eleru Kuti of Lagos who said that Awori paid Isakole to Benin for settling in Lagos. How do you pay tributes to someone for settling in a land that is not withing his territory except Lagos was Benin territory. Finally to further buttress my point let me quote this Observation by Talbot from Peoples of Southern Nigeria , Vol I by Talbot Percy Amaury 1926. " The whole of what is now Lagos Colony seems to have been under the domination of Benin before the arrival of the first Portuguese explorer Sequeira in 1472. It is marked as Benin territory on the earliest maps, and it is unlikely that the Portuguese who knew Lagos River, and neighborhood well , would have been in error on such a point." |

If the Awori own Lagos, why were they paying tribute to Benin? |
