Zico5:
If you know how much APC and Tinubu are paying all these politicians that decamp always then you will know Nigeria is gone

You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about since you have not presented details of your claim.

Adeyanju the make believe social crusader has always been a closet Tinubu supporter. I have always known this.

AMINDA:
How many votes can Adeyanju mobilise for a candidate?

We expect most Yoruba who are popular online to commit to voting Tinubu otherwise they will be termed betrayers and be forever blamed for the impending defeat that awaits Tinubu in 2027.

What about the last election supports this your opinion

WesleyPepper:
Wait!
Did the effeminate lying Pandora eventually drag Deji Adeyanju to court Abi the 7 days haven’t passed ?
So after all the chest beating , the usual suspects still chickened out as usual . SMH

This was not discussed in our WhatsApp group, the admin didn’t post this… I don’t know where you’re getting what you’re saying… you’ll soon be evicted out of the group.

We will drag Peter obi court case next week, stay on the group’s agenda please

Brendaniel:
You will support Tinubu because you hate Peter Obi or his tribe - na wetin bring Nigeria come this level today, do these people ever learn?

Amadi is supporting Obi not because he's Igbo?
Too many tribal hypocrites on social media.

anonimi:
Why do we have godfathers who mobilise voters to support the candidate who they want

And deji happens to be a godfather?
Na, I don't think so.

Brendaniel:

But the guy did not mention tribe or hate for Peter Obi. He said Obidients provoked him to attack Peter Obi. I think people should discuss the root cause of the problem instead of trying to blackmail him.

Even me I will support Tinubu 100% till 2031 after 2031 I can then choose someone else but for now till 2031 it's Tinubu or nothing...

Hausas do not say other tribes hate them
Dukakis did not say other tribes hate them
Ijaws did not say other tribes hate them
Ibiobios have never ruled Nigeria, yet they didn’t say other tribes hate them
Tivs, Junkuns, Igalas, Ikwerres, e.t.c. have never ruled Nigeria, yet they have not said other tribes hate them


WHY ALWAYS AND ONLY YOU?

Brendaniel:

ask yourself why he hates obi
Remember no permanent friend

So Amadi can support Obi but Adeyanju can't support Tinubu abi? These hypocrites sef.

But you supporting Obi is not because you hate Tinubu or his tribe? Hypocrite

Mrfixitt:
Leave Peter Obi and worry about your poverty life

First go and rescue your kinsmen from the hands of Gentle the Yahoo.

This December, he is waiting for you. You no go escape am.

omoredia:
When we weigh the historical evidence (oral tradition + documented history + linguistics), the Benin/Edo origin of “Eko” as a “war camp” is considered stronger than the Awori/Yoruba “camp/settlement” version.

Here’s why:


---

1. Early Control of Lagos (15th–16th century)

Historical records show that the Benin Kingdom expanded westward during the reign of Oba Orhogbua (mid-1500s).

Benin warriors established a military outpost on Lagos Island to control trade routes and collect tribute.

The Oba of Benin appointed a military administrator (called an “Eletu Odibo”) to govern the area.

This aligns with the interpretation of Eko as a “war camp” in Edo.



---

2. Oral History & Naming

Lagos oral tradition (especially from Benin sources) consistently states that the Oba of Benin named the settlement Eko when it became a military camp.

The Yoruba Awori were already living there, but the name “Eko” was imposed through conquest and administration, making it a political name, not just a descriptive one.



---

3. Linguistic Strength

In Edo (Bini), Eko indeed directly translates to “camp” or “encampment,” often military in sense.

In Yoruba, ẹ̀kọ́ has meanings like to gather, to learn, or to be trained (also the word for pap/fermented maize meal). But the usage of Eko to mean “settlement” is less direct and less common.

This makes the Edo origin linguistically tighter.



---

4. European Accounts

Early Portuguese records from the 15th–16th centuries confirm that the Benin Kingdom was administering Lagos (Eko) before colonial Lagos emerged.

They describe Lagos Island as a tributary state of Benin, not Awori, in terms of political control.



---

Conclusion

✅ The Benin (Edo) origin of Eko as “war camp” is better supported by historical, political, and linguistic evidence.
⚖️ The Awori/Yoruba origin reflects the fact that they were the indigenous settlers, but their explanation of Eko as “settlement” is more cultural than historical.

So, historically: “Eko” = war camp (Benin Edo origin).
Culturally: Yoruba still claim it as “our settlement.”.

Attention seeker, you are here to cause tribal bashing but e no work.

...and at the end you will grant interviews like those we've seen for decades explaining aay the shortcomings...and your phuvk upps ain't it....?!
Na today....

Ablesam171:
And deji happens to be a godfather?
Na, I don't think so.

He is an influencer of how people think, just like Reno.

They have their own value and roles in political opinion formation.

Are you voting incompetent Obi because you love Tinubu? You are not tired of labouring in vain, right?

Amadi said same thing nah abi him no be reference point??

Peter Obi is a great guy.
The only politician currently in Nigeria that can make you trend just by abusing him.
He is not the president or cause of hardship and multidimensional poverty but abused all the time to gain attention you seek.


Oya key board zone B continue.

Was that not the reason for Dejis trip to Paris few weeks back?
He went there to get his contract. One loquacious upstart that is in it for his stomach.

We all know Deji is part of Rotimi Amechi laptops hustler, he’s anywhere bellle face with one vote
