Benin Landgrabber stay clear of Delta North and go do your Landgrabbing elsewhere. Jim Ovia and Tony Elumelu are proud Igbos and if it pains you then use a rope. Imagine how you jumped into an innocent thread to display your ignorance.

You can't tell Anioma people where they belong by bringing up ancient migration which no base. If so, then many tribes in Yorubaland won't be called Yoruba today since they migrated from the so-called Benin empire mostly those in Owo Ondo state. In addition, we might begin to call Benin people Yoruba's since Oranmiyan migrated from Ife. We can also call many parts of Isoko Igbo's too since many migrated from Igboland. But you'll never see Igbos do this since they've now ethnically assimilated with their host tribe. Only you lots from Benin are champions of landgrabbing in a bid to bring back a dead Benin Empire that was built by the Portuguese.

Unlike you Benin's, Igbos don't landgrab tribes we are not related with. We are only concerned with those that share ethnic affiliation with us in Language and culture and the colonial masters have long carved Nigerian ethnic groups accordingly before independence. Therefore, anybody looking to landgrab tribes in this modern age is simply wasting their time and you Benin's should be very careful.

Second, I observed your falsification of Jim Ovia's surname which you think is Benin since it’s sounds so. For your information the Ovia you think is Benin is a pure Igbo name. It's just a dialectical differentiation from Central Igbo Ohia which means forest. Now it takes different forms and becomes Ofia, Ovia, Ohia, Oshia in several parts of Igboland. While it's called Ovia in Ika, Aguleri, Awka, Ohafia etc, it becomes Ofia in places like Onitsha, Asaba, Nkpor etc. Additionally, the Ovia is similar to names like Isibor and Irabor which are deep Igbo names that many of you in Edo now bear and think are Benin names.

Third, The 6 Odiani clan which you rightly called Olukunmi are proud Igbos from Aniocha. The only thing that connects them with Yoruba is simply migration. They are proud Igbos and are part and parcel of the Igbo nation, sharing one destiny with us from the pre-independence, to the civil war to modern Nigeria. Anybody looking to grab must first cross into Igboland and will get a proper response not from us but the Odiani people themselves.

It's not only the SE that are guilty of the crimes!
Many other tribes are guilty of cutting corners to earn more!

The farmers that add dangerous chemicals to grains for preservation and still sells it while it's dangerous for consumption!

The farmers that inject animals with antibiotics, etc that are still much in the animals when sold. This drugs are toxic to humans!

And there are many more variations of the above!

Jim Ovia should not be listed among those names because he is NOT Ibo. He is an indigene of Agbor in Ika South LGA of Delta State and he is Ika. The name Ovia is an Edoid name meaning "God of iron." The Agbor people have strong ancestral ties with the Edos even though they are part of ANIOMA.

Tony Elumelu is also from Delta North and his biological mother is from Onicha Ugbo in Aniocha North LGA, which is the same local government where you'll find the 6 Olukumi towns such as Ugbodu and Eko Efun (otherwise called Ukwunzu) consisting of people whose ancestors came from Yorubaland via Benin and Esanland several centuries back.

So you know benin are landgrabbers but you supported them when they also want to grab Lagos right?

You people want to unite against your common Yorubas who you taught are your common enemies. Una never see anything yet. The future awaits us.

Christistruth00:
Benin Cannot Land Grab Lagos because firstly Benin have No Ancestral Lands in Lagos
even Isale Eko is Awori Land

Also Benin itself was founded by Obagodo and his followers from Ile Ife
Obagodo was also the founder of the Ogiso dynasty and the first Ogiso

The Last thing is that Yorubas were already in Lagos in the 10th Century when the first Owa Obokun was sent to Lagos by Oore of Otun Ekiti to fetch Sea Water from Moba near Victoria Island to cure Oduduwa's blindness
Owa Obokun and his Brother spent 2 months with the Moba People and the Onimoba before returning to Ile Ife with the Sea Water

dont be a fool, there is nothing like Obagodo, Ife cannot even be credited to have found modakeke let alone Benin. This your pseudo history with an aim to harvest a cultural identity is overstretching it. There are enough loopholes in the story of oranmiyan to debunk it let alone adding Obagodo to it. It is like you guys are taking advantage of the fact that Benin is a minority to publish these useless unrelatable history.


But that Benin founded Lagos is not even under contest and there are historical scholarships to buttress these points. From Ryder to Bradbury to several Others scholars even some of Yoruba origin. I do not think they are drunk

Christistruth00:
That the Awori Yoruba' founded Lagos is beyond any Contention
They are still the owners of Lagos today
In History in Law and on the Ground,In the Nigerian Supreme Court in the Highest Supreme Court of the British Empire the Privy Council and the Oba Of Benin didn't Challenge the Awori People's Claim to be the owners of Lagos

Let the Oba Of Benin give Quit Notice to the Awori Yoruba'and the Ijebus of Lagos so we can truly know who founded and owns Lagos

We are waiting

In other Words you are saying Oba Erediauwa lied when he said obagodo of Ile Ife and his Followers Established the Benin Kingdom and Ogiso dynasty

Ogiamen family always say Oba of Benin is from Ile Ife and the Ekhalerderhan Story is nonsense

That doesn't negate that obagodo of Ile Ife and his followers from Ife founded Igodomigodo Kingdom which is now Benin

obagodo and his followers were the Ancestors of the Aboriginal Benin because 31 Ogiso ruled Benin before Oranmiyan and Eweka

Evboesi:
me i am asking you was Ryder, Bradbury, even some Yoruba notable historians are they drunk for admitting that Benin found Lagos. There are severaL scholarly works to that effect. Even the Oba of Lagos admitted so at a point.


There are so much loopholes in Oranmiyan’s story, it is far more mythical, a pseudo history than realistic, let alone Obagodo. That only shows Yoruba’s desperate attempt to harvest Binis rich cultural history.


Yes Oba Erediauwa lied when he said Igodo is from Ife.


Ife is a small inconsequential village. It is not older than Benin. It couldn’t have found Benin. Ife did not even found Iseyin, modakeke Or Ijebu. This new attempt at tracing every thing in yorubaland to Ife is a poor attempt at unity of the Yoruba people

The Ijaw version of the History of Lagos matches the Itsekiri and Oyo ,Ijebu and Awori version

Evboesi:
Ijaw did not record their history. We are talking about Peer reviewed scholarly research in textbooks by A list historians and scholars, you are talking about some unrecorded drunk Ijaw tales that changes from time to time. You need to understand that A.F.C Ryder is not a Benin man. Neither is Bradbury one neither are some of those reputable Yoruba historians who admit these facts one. The Benins themselves don’t really have a body of work that much that talk about their relationship with Lagos. That should lend credibility to these carefully researched works by A list scholars like Bradbury and Ryder

Same as the Ijaw and Yoruba Version

cite textbooks don’t cite nonsense history for me, i am asking again is Bradbury or Ryder’s mother Bini, how many Binis here has argued with you here and cite Benin source?. Is itsekiri not a Yoruba group?

Is Lagos really not replete with Benin relics with name places such as idumota and several other idu’s that are intelligible in Benin and are Benin Naming pattern of areas. You think the historians are dumb, some of them are eye witness account. They conduct history backed by what is relatable and backed by evidences on ground. Not the way the Yorubas would tell it, so so person said it and it goes contrary to what is relatable and common sense. These guys are proper historians, not half baked and do not work with emotions

Nobody can give give notice to anybody today, don’t be a fool, Nigeria is a democratic state. Powers are in the hands of the government. Since you guys are always saying that Ife found many towns in Yoruba land, let the ooni of Ife go and give notice to the Alaafin of Oyo. This is not before colonialism, Powers have long been taken from the hands of these traditional rulers, that does not negate the fact that they were once in charge. Such a poor attempt at logic.

Was Oba Ehengbude of Benin and his entourage Drowned by Yorubas around Lagos when he tried nonsense on Not?

Evboesi:
cite sources he was drowned, and tell me how it negate the founding of Lagos by Benins according to Bradbury and Ryder

DOptical:
Dundee. Ife is older than Bini because it's BC, not CE like Bini. And Ife is yet to be excavated. When we bring the Oranmiyan staff, pavement road, IFA etc to the table, Ife is quite old. Or Iwo eleru to the table, considering Ondo came from Ife. All that you need to sink into your brain! Heck, it was Oranmiyan who named Bini. Ryder etc writing a nonsensical article in 1960 after Nigeria gained independence has no bearing. Meanwhile, The fact known is Ogunfunminire of the awori founded Lagos. This was written by the early British who came early.

Evboesi:
Ogbeni Benin is older than Ife, larger than Ife in population today and more relevant than it in the Nigeria space today. The only glory Ife has today is attributing what Ife did not do to her, like saying Ife found Japan, Ife found Somalia and so on. Ife is still largely a village, irrelevant and inconsequential.


Bear in mind that Benin was Already Igodomigodo before it became Benin. That did not change the location, that did not change the age, it did not change the fact that people has been living in it.

Lol. Without Oranmiyan, Bini has no history to begin with. Oranmiyan civilized Bini. Sink that info into your brain. And yeah, Ife is older than Bini.

Evboesi:
Oranmiyan did not civilize himself let alone. I believe he was an uncivilized ape.

Mind you there are other theories of how the word Bini came up. There is a scholar article which seem to talk about the fact that the word Bini came from Benign which means kindness and it is more plausible that that is it.


Benin is far older than the foundation of Ife. If not for the unrealistic exploits that it is attributed to Ife to give it some form of relevance. It would have been a relative unknown place.
