Olumogbon should be from the Oba of Lagos bini decedent.

The Balee of Ajah should the mixture of Ilaje, Awori and Tapa decedent of Ajah

Although Olumogbon is of Awori White cap chief origin of Lagos island.

The fight is to determine whether the original Kingdom of Eko extended to Ajah area of Lagos.

So it's purely a family affair.

. I knew you'd pull this out from Wikipedia which anyone can put up there , Including you and I. So, if I call Magodo (a yoruba word, meaning do not pound that morter) another name on Wikipedia tomorrow, you'd also go there and dig it out abi?

Akeja is different from Ikeja. Akeja is in ota, a small community after the lagos boundary with ogun, after crossing that bridge. That's akeja town which is different from Ikeja.

There's something which we always do as human. We like to distort history even though it is irrelevant in the present day generation. I heard the other day when someone said Ikeja is an abbreviation of Ikorodu and epe blablala. I think it's been removed by same blogger who put it there. This isn't peculiar to us. Arabs also do this a lot. Imagine them saying they own Egypt despite the obvious. Thank God for those mummies they exhumed which proved them wrong. Early egyptians were blacks. Otoman turks came and wiped them off for worshipping idols after alexander invasion
from greece and settled there with his people and procreated for centuries, his people stayed and were enthroning themselves. Imagine apartheid was never stopped in south africa. In 1000 years to come, the whites in that era would lay claim on that country cos blacks would have been wiped out completely

The fact that Lagos is our land and nobody can take it away does not mean we shouldn't give credit to the early settlers. It's just like ijaw saying ęsę odo is an ijaw land . Wouldn't that be a white lie? That the ilajes occupy a LGA in Ondo doesn't change the fact that it's still an Ondo land and a yoruba territory by extension.

Try and be visiting museums once in a while maybe during your annual leave. You'd know a lot of history about people and territories they occupy in yorubaland. I was shocked the day I saw the old map of Lagos Island. That was the only place known as lagos in that era by the colonialists. All the bini names on that map have disappeared today. It was the colonialists who compiled them. It was in that book I learnt the only road that entered lagos was from abeokuta down to ota-orile agege, etc down to Iddo and eko, just a tiny footpath.

Imagine some people coining the meaning of eko? Till tomorrow, ask any edo person where he or she is going , they'd tell you Eko. They don't know here as lagos, na oyinbo name am lagos. Eko, idugaran, idumota, idumagbo, etc are edo words and are on that map. Iga means compound in bini. When next I visit again, I'd snap those pages and upload it here. Even where they used to bury lagos obas in Benin and the reason behind that practice until it was stopped. Oba akiolu once told this truth and some people got angry but history can't lie. The erelu of lagos too was verbally attacked, why?

Above all these, it's still our land but we need to always give credit to whom it's due. Do you know that, had the edos not settled here , lagos might not have been possibly discovered till today cos nothing was happening here than fishing about 600 years ago. The edos came and settled here. Seashore was the fastest route to bini in those days.

Before I conclude on issues like history, I read widely and consult widely. I also reason. After Edo it's awori people who can claim here by ownership cos a vast past of the mainland is owned by them.

Housing:
Stop dabbling into what you know nothing about. Olumegbon had nothing to do with Benin. Olumegbon is purely an Awori and the head of Idejo.

While Ajah belongs to mixtures of Awori and Ijebu. Tapa has no land in Ajah

Do we even know the meaning of Ajah or Ikehdia which was later changed to Ikeja for ease of pronunciation? If nobody knows this among the present generation, then why are we dragging things that would soon become a passing whim?

Those early settlers may not even remember them once lived here sef. Let peace reign and let the truth prevail. Ire oo.

KayB:
Ajah is under ijebuland by custom and culture under Awujalę's rulership.

Housing:
Every white cap Chief has family farm outside Lagos Island. Aromire owns Ijora, Badia , Ajegunle and Apapa. Onikoyi farm settle use to be in Ajiran.

Olumegbon family have shown proof of collecting land rents in Ajah as far back as 1930s. They have court judgment supporting it. For the fact that they allowed settlers to be Baale in the past doesn't cancel their ownership of the Land. I am from Ikorodu and I have family that are related to Ajah from Ikorodu as they farm there in the olden days. My lineage are qualify for the Oba stool in Langbasa.

This is the legacy somebody left in Lagos, and alot of us who are real Lagosians are really suffering this, compared to people who came from the neighbouring state to seek refugee in Lagos...

He's about to take over obalende from us and said he want to turn it to banana island, because obalende is categorised as Ikoyi...

We are watching

Olumegbon is an Idejo chief and has no connection with Benin whatsoever. Infact, the eldest amongst them, hence his name OLUMEGBON.

They are the land owning chiefs of Lagos who are of pure Awori descent as the descendants of Olofin Ogunfunminire.

Research on the Olumegbon pls.
