Oduduwa that fell from the sky never existed.

Izoduwa existed and was a banished prince from the Benin kingdom.

You have no brains

You still couldn't comprehend what was written?

Even if it's forcefully fed into your brain, it's still going to slip off.

But, the account of Oba Bamgbade was armed with facts.

Anybody who wants to claim someone existed needs to show some documents written by an eyewitness which talks about that person.
You can't magically discover an "oduduwa" with no eyewitness written documents to prove that there was such a person.

Now you are putting words in my mouth.
I said Oduduwa never existed !
When quoting me, get the quote right !
Here it again: Oduduwa never existed, he is of the same reality as Spiderman!
When dealing with history, you have to prove what you say, not hide behind the fact that other people believe in your fairytale. History is not decided by votes, it is decided by the study of eyewitness written documents !

Anyways, what I want to say is that we can not descend to the level of yarri.ba by discussing fairytales.
They do this because they have no history !
We do have history and can just bring up precolonial documents !
This is how we can end this cycle of shouting matches.
You reason like a scientist and bring out proof, therefore exposing the ignoramuses for what they are. You don't go down to their level of discussing fairytales. You would be doing them a favour by doing that.

How can benin claim lagos…the original inhabitants of Lagos are the aworis. But during the reign of King Ado, benin people conquered the aworis and name the place eko which is like a war base for the benin people.
At the reign of another king, the Benin people were conquered and were chased to another quarters.
Because u conquered the original inhabitants and named the place means u are the owner of the land. Before the benin people came to trade because those days they are known for their trade prowess, there are original settlers.
So, for the fact that benin once fought and conquered the first and original settlers of Lagos and as that time name the place doesn’t mean that are the owner.
And even history says, the benin people were Lagos conquered by the aworis in returned.

They did not conquer the Aworis,go and read or listen to Oba Bamigbade again. He was quite explicit enough !

Lagos, situated in the southwestern region and distinct from the Benin (Bini) stronghold in the south-south, bears witness to a historical migration that, while acknowledging the roots of settlers from Benin, refrains from conferring ownership. To assert dominion over Lagos solely based on migration parallels the fallacy of attributing discovery to Mungo Park in a pre-existing Nigeria. The geographical proximity of Akoko Ondo to Edo would have lent credence to such claims, yet Lagos, distant from Edo, remains rooted in its original ownership. The linguistic nuances, exemplified by the shared etymology of terms like 'Oba,' do not eclipse the rightful ownership vested in the geographical locale. Despite parallels like Upper Iweka in Gabon named by the Igbo, their acknowledgement refrains from asserting unwarranted ownership, a principle that transcends borders and echoes through the historical corridors of Lagos.

This is a correct King that knows the history of his fore father.

Not one that just come to claim what is not and couldn't give point to what he claimed.

The mornarchs in Lagos haves been quite a long time ago, thank God they are coming out to rebuke the fallacy of one oba of Benin.

neither the aworis nor the binis can lay claim to the entire Lagos, the aworis had their territory in Lagos the binis also had their territory, Lagos is a state just like osun, just like you have the Ooni of ife who governs the ife territory of osun state, there are also other traditional rulers in the same osun, you can't come today and claim the ancestors of the Ooni founded osun state they only founded ife, same can be said about Lagos and how you guys always try to make it look like the aworis controlled the entire Lagos, the binis also had their territory, which means the oba isn't wrong.

I gave the link of the website hosting the map.
It was published in 1747, I wasn't born yet, so asking me questions about the map is a stupid thing to do.

But let me help you to use your brain:
1. You are judging the map by your unsubstantiated beliefs. You are supposed to judge your unsubstantiated beliefs with help from the map. Because the map was drawn by a person who witnessed 1747. Your beliefs however are just beliefs.
2. Have you thought of the fact that countries are born, they don't exist right from the begining of time. Countries break up and give place to other countries. Take a look at a map of Europe from 1400, you will see that you can't find some countries of today and you will find countries which do not exist today.
3. The map is not fake, you just don't reason properly.

Of course, you claim a map published in 1747 to be fake because it doesn't show things which exist today (2023). Then you go and claim oduduwa fairytales and igodomigodo and ogiso fairytales are real.
