Ipob/Igbos/biafran fabricated story sponsored on vanguard. Is it today fabrications and lies are reported and sponsored on daily papers? Tommorow now if you investigate further, it will end up being debunked. Is it because omokiri has proved beyond reasonable doubt that yorubas brought out Igbos from jungle to civilization in almost every aspect of humanity like education, religion, language development etc.?

Even oba of Benin that said it has forgotten about the issues, but some enbittered igbos kept on sponsoring fake articles in their usual known antics. Why not allow this matter to rest since it is too late to reverse the history to make Benin or Igbos to rule Lagos? So Igbos should let the matter rest because they carry the matter on their heads even more than the oba that said it
A narrow minded ethnic jingoist you are. If you dont drag people who are completely not interested in an issue especially igbos, you will not sound convincing enough to your low lives fellow ethnic champion. Igbos this, igbos that, are igbos now Benins. Has any igbo man ever made claim of founding Lagos. He leave Benins and is attacking igbos as Oba of Benin is an igbo man

You don’t have a clue

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.

Some of the moba migrated to Ijebuland and 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 and is descended from the moba Kings including Seniade

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






https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J7SXJzGuLM?si=r9vlK6L3Z4NEXAEn



And to Crown it all

Even the pre Oduduwa moba themselves migrated from Ile Ife !!!

It could only be God Almighty's divine Orchestrated Purpose
Our Forefathers were not this organized

It is just Wonderful !!!!

I don't think this has ever happened anywhere else on Earth not even in Europe

That one City Ile Ife was consistently proven to be producing kingdom founders and builders

for over 1500 years

Even in Ghana the GA Tribe migrated from Ife

It could only have been God Almighty

Oduduwa is just a myth, he never existed but only in folklores

Go back to the interview, the answer to your question is there
No,it is not there.
If it is bring it out.
The truth is that Aworis who were the first in Lagos were just fishers and when the Oba of Benin( who was himself a Yoruba man from the loin of Ooni of Ife) came,they accepted them to be king but with no right to the ownership of their land.
Benin has no land in Lagos but they were the first king.

Is your brain fermenting, did you read the junks before bringing it here?. Did you read where she said Lagos is an extension of benin kingdom, it is a territory of benin?, so what horseshit are you smoking on?. Putting a word in parenthesis is mere pandering to nuances and is subjective. Benins migrated from edo, settled on a tiny island where they met the natives, yet claiming ownership. parasitic history.

To you people everything is politics. History is something that happened in the past, is not something you use election to determine so that you can restrict some persons not to vote by using violence or thuggery. The woman has clearify the whole arguments. Nobody wants to steal Lagos from the Yorubas, by geographical segmentation Lagos is part of southwest, while Edo is in south South. The Benis are extremely proud people they restrict people who are not Benis from speaking the Edo language infact it was a taboo that is while the influence of such a large empire is only limited Benin city presently

The Bini couldn't make Mahin their port, they couldn't make Ijebu waterside their port, they couldn't make Gele Gele their port, They couldn't make Ibeji their port.

It's a far way land in a tiny land in Lagos island they made their port. Lol

Today the Bini decendants don't have land in Lagos island, it's the idejo Chiefs like Oniru, Ikate and Onikoyi chiefs that has 90% of land in Lagos island/ Eti. Osa.

.

The entire Bight of Benin was controlled by the Oba of Benin
Dahomey even changed their name to Benin Republic after the empire
Stop all these local rants, 500years ago there was nothing like Yoruba, the word was from the colonialist
The only Empire the European met when they came was Benin, even Calabar later became a kingdom on the Bight of Biafra
This is history and nothing to be arguing about

Another error...do you know that more than 50% of the abgeros in Lagos are not Yorubas ?

Most are from other parts of Nigeria..from north, east, south..just that they were born and brought up in Lagos slumps. Lagos is a no man's land...face it

In 30 years from now, UK will also be seen as a no man's land.. because of the high level of migration...shey their prime minister na from India already ? Hahahahhah

Her fathers from Bini are the owners of Lagos, Aworis only migrated from Ife later, yet her ancestors do not possess any land in Lagos apart from Idumota axis given to her ancestors by Aromire, an Awori man.

Aworis have a very massive land in Lagos, same with Ijebus and Egbas, but Binis have non.

Can you explain how Fulani people are speaking Hausa all over the North and have majority of Kings
How Romans were speaking aramaic in the bible stories
How Greeks spoke and wrote in Latin since
You're not making any sense
That's my point.

Fulanis met Hausa and started speaking Hausa

So how come only Lagos is the reverse.

The Yorubas met Bini in Lagos and started speaking Yoruba instead of the other way round.

Abi only Lagos is a unique situation.

Yorubaland is not a Myth

Oduduwa was the first Oba of the 2nd dynasty of Ife Kings


grin

If Ooni of Ife turns up in benin and Claims the Throne and Kingdom of benin he too is also right


Ok, Let us look at the praise names of oba of benin

One of it is
Abieyuwa N'Ovbi Odua N'uhe
The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife).
(Odua of Ife is the same as oduduwa of Ife)

Another of oba of benin's praise names is

Ovbi' Adimila
The son of Adimila
oduduwa was also known as Olofin Adimula
Which was his Title

Notice there is no mention at all of any Ekhalerderhan of Igodomigodo or izoduwa a whole Crown Prince of Benin that got lost and the renowned Accomplished Benin Palace Praise singers are not at all interested in his case
It can only be a lie

They did not mention and neither are they looking for the lost Ekhalerderhan .

izoduwa too is not happening anywhere in oba of benin's praise names but they called Oduduwa , the great Odua of Ife his Father

So with their own mouths they themselves have already given the evidence that fully demolished and destroyed their case which had no legs to stand on in the first place and have confirmed with your own Mouth that the oba of benin was indeed oduduwa's Son
There is nothing left to drag because it is settled

So Bini now pass through Ore, Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu to claim land in far away land ?

Why is there no single heritage or houses that belongs to Bini in Lagos

Why is Ife empire spread from that Ife to all over Yoruba land and Bini the greatest empire that time couldn't conquer the Ore rather they only conquer Lagos 😂😀😀🤣

Only IPOB are getting carried away by this oral proclamation without any prove.

All in all, Yoruba are now the land sellers in Lagos and their is nothing any IPOB or Binin can do about.
Whatever story you have doesn't matter bcs even the Binin are using Oba as king and no Lagos Oba using anything that has to do with Edo kingdom.


Forget the nonsense story. Lagos na our own.


They only needed the water way to interact with their visitors. it was at extension of the landlocked bini empire.

Same way Aworis came to settle in lagos after the binis and they paid taxes.

This is actually not complicated. undecided
