Ok. U want to do yahoo with history?

Is it that you can't read and comprehend or you are deliberately trying to be mischievous

I said the Benin set up the Lagos monarchy but it passed to Yorubas in the 3rd generation and the facts are everywhere online and offline.

How can the Benin found Lagos when they were invited by the indigenes for protection

Thats a lie. Would u invite and who u invited will start naming all the major settlements? What does Eko, Obalende, Oshodi, Eti Osa, Idumagbo, Idumota etc mean? Are they not all Benin names? U cant change history. Just as Tinubu can never be Lagosian. Benin owns the land

These are the true Lagosians and not the rogues that are bandits who have claimed power by violence

A list of Lagos areas whose names show Edo/Benin influence, mostly from the prefix “Idun/Idumu” (meaning “quarter/settlement” in Edo):

Lagos Island & Environs

1. Idumota – “Idumu Ota” (Ota’s quarter).


2. Idumagbo – “Idumu Agbo” (Agbo’s quarter).


3. Idumagbon – “Idumu Agbon” (Agbon’s quarter).


4. Idumadan – “Idumu Adan” (Adan’s quarter).


5. Idunsagbe / Idunsagbe market (old records).


6. Idunsare – settlement named after a leader/family.



Others

Idumota Market (famous Lagos market) keeps the Benin-rooted name.

Idumagbo Avenue still carries that Edo heritage.

Many smaller streets on Lagos Island begin with “Idun/Idumu.”


Why this happened

In the 15th–16th centuries, Eko (Lagos Island) was a settlement under the control of the Oba of Benin.

When the Benin Empire stationed warriors, traders, and administrators in Eko, they organized the island into quarters (idumu), naming them after people, families, or guilds.

Over time, even as Yoruba became the dominant language in Lagos, the Edo naming pattern remained in place.


👉 That’s why today you see many “Idum–” names in central Lagos, especially around markets and old quarters, reflecting Benin heritage woven into Lagos identity.

This one is just manufacturing names to justify his point.

Aside, Idumota, Idumagbo and Iduntafa any other Idu there is a figment of your imagination. And they are just streets compared to OLOWOGBOWO, ITA FAAJI, EPETEDO, OKEPOPO, OKESUNA, ISALE EKO, ISALE GAN GAN, ISALE OFI, IGBOSERE, etc etc

Ota is an Awori town in Ogun state.

Agbo is ram.

Ofa is arrow.

Agbe is farmer or beggar.

Adan is bat.

Are is leader.

They are all Yoruba words.

Idumu kor Idimu ni

Continue deluding yourself.

Nobody is denying Binis WERE INVITED to Lagos Island to protect it from invaders.

The fact is that they can NEVER be founders or owners.

Una go soon sey Tinubu was the oba and that Lagos was founded by him in 1999.

Thank you for this, Obidients can't help themselves and I am not sure how they can be cured.

An illustrious educator has died, instead of paying their respects like you have in a respectful manner, they are desecrating a thread opened in her honour.

Even if they want to make a point about whatever, based on the election loss suffered by Peter Obi, can't they do it some other place?

That they are badly brought up and are allowed to show it for all to see is not right, mods should not allow this to happen.

Not everything bitter politics.

@aswani

I hope you're doing OK?

I saw your post late yesterday but had a limited time to reply all my mentions. Indeed, I appreciate your positive thoughts and insights here.

The moniker I castigated in that post used a Benin-Edo name (which could have been a fake name created for trolling like these bigots have been doing to spread disinformation and to divert attention from the real ethnic origins of the trolls). Benin-Edos don't relentlessly derail threads by spewing hate towards Yoruba folks and others on this discussion forum or other online platforms unless when "genuinely provoked" by territorial expansionists or secessionists and those casting aspersions on the Oba of Benin and we know who they are.

Regardless, a manual crackdown through bans by these mods on those well-known trolls is needed to curb these infractions. I keep seeing the NL thread posts of those who regularly use "hate speech and disinformation" being pushed to the NL front page and this ONLY encourages these monikers to continue their bad habits through selective application of punishments by some mods here. There is very little the so-called NL bot can do if strict manual monitoring of toxic posts isn't done.

Cheers.

Even though you are wasting your time on educating the Ndigbo Obidient claiming to be Benin, I am grateful to read some of the stuff you have put down, great work.

Imagine listing Idu this and Idu that in Lagos as (weak) proof, yet in Benin itself, how many areas are Idu anything?

All ok sir as I hope you are too?

It feels as if there is a concerted effort lately by Ndigbo Obidients to use Benin related monikers to start making false claims particularly about owning Lagos.

Benin posters, that I interact with on Benin related threads like the Edo gubernatorial elections one, on both (or all) sides of the political divide, tend never to involve themselves in such banality.

It is interesting to note that the ones dwelling on this "Benin owns Lagos" mantra tend not to appear in Benin related threads.

Thankfully it appears Yoruba posters are seeing through it all because responses (thankfully) have not included insults and abuses of Benin people as used to unfortunately happen in situations like this.

I don't understand how any of this improves the discourse on here and is allowed to stand by mods.

@aswani

I'm doing great...Thank you.

That's a brilliant feedback.

What these paid trolls are only destroying their principal's brand and they do NOT know is that the Benin royal family dynasty and the royalty of Ife have historical ties (With Usen being the cultural connection point) for centuries and it's the same with the Awori patriarch in Lagos, Olofin Ogunfunminire who was an Ife Prince hence he migrated from Ife over 700 years ago and first occupied Otto Island then spread to Lagos Island and eventually shared the lands among his children who are the ancestors of the current High Chiefs (White Cap Chiefs) of Lagos Island.

The Eko (Lagos Island) royal family and Benin also have historical ties with the Palace paying annual tribute to Benin until Oba Kosoko stopped it in the 1800s but still maintained a symbolic relationship with Benin.

I was just going through this thread right BELOW and saw what those people you referenced are doing deliberately baiting the Yoruba folks, they are never sober but use series of propaganda to look for trouble.

opobo, etc he, ikwerres, etc are igboid speaking tribe... It's like the itsekiri in delta that have roots with Yorubas and some part of edo that have same roots with Yorubas, I don't understand why u are crying over this..

My point is how is it wrong by you Igbos for an Osun man to become governor of Lagos, and for Ibadan man to be governor of Ogun State and vice versa. What is Igbos problem?
