NoSentimentNo: Bini people already said they ain't Yoruba, Yorubas' too don't want to have anything to do with them. Oyo Ile is situated in Katunga, modern day Niger state, go to Makera, and Jebba in Niger state, the people speak Yoruba fluently yet Yorubas' don't drag them They identify themselves with Yoruba up to Benin republic, Togo, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Gambia, up South America. Which stupid story are they telling up and down?, Bini colonize Lagos Island doesn't mean they didn't meet people there when they arrived. My own mother is also an indigine , a princess from Otto ruling house, she said their fathers came from Ife, the Obas Olotto, Eleko, Ojora all normally tie white wrapper. Oba of Benin no dey tie white wrapper o, na red him dey tie Only those connected to Ife are tieing white wrapper, make Binin people go look elsewhere for their lost relatives, Lagos and Bini are not related. 1 Like |

jaxxy: Everyone knows that Isale Eko was a Slave Trading Post Why do you think the British attacked it? On top of that Oba Of Lagos is actually a Baale who was elevated to an Oba Post Olofin of Isheri is the highest Awori Oba with a Proper Ife Crown which all other Yoruba Obas acknowledge and Respect because they are real Obas and not Business ones Even the Oloto of Otto who owns and ruled Iddo Island has a Proper Ife Crown Oba of Lagos was still called Eleko till around 1950s

Iamgrey5:Benin had coastal territories. In 1480 AD, Oba Olua of Benin sent his son Prince Iginuwa to become Ogiame in what is now Ewere/Warri. That new Dukedom was a way to extend Benin hegemony. Benin had access to Ohimwinhin (River Niger), Benin River, etc. The entire Bight of Benin in fact by the reign of Oba Orhogbua (1550-1578). Some Portuguese accompanied (documented) Oba Orhogbua to Lagos, Ijebu Waterside, etc, He was a sailor trained in Portugal as a Prince. Benin was first officially called a City in 1553 by the Europeans during his reign. Because it compared admirably with the few places with "City Status" in the world at that time. Benin City and capital of Benin Empire had no immediate Port but Ughoton/Gwatto Port was only tens of kilometres away. Remember Europeans used to dock at Gwatto Port and walk to Benin City. Erelu is descended from Eleko Dosunmu, who Oba of Benin opposed in favour of deposed Eleko Kosoko. She could have denied Benin initial ownership of Eko/Lagos but still decided to stick with the truth. Simply because it is the truth. Some people now claim that the Portuguese were using Benin to raid slaves up to Lagos area. Total lie. Benin had already began imperial expansion by about 1440 AD under Oba Ewuare I, decades before any Europeans set foot in these parts by about 1472. Though proper seafaring expanded under Oba Orhogbua who saw first-hand in Portugal how seafaring allowed Portugal to grow abroad. The Portuguese were able to work well with Benin for two main reasons: It was the pre-imminent empire in the area and its kings accepted Christianity first and was able to give Benin guns. European guns were only given to Christian partners as a matter of their policy back then. Gregyboy AutomaticMotors Samuk 5 Likes 2 Shares |
