Where did Ekaladerhan (Benin Prince) came from and who were his parents?

Gerhards:
Oduduwa was a Benin prince who later become Oduduwa you all claimed he fell down from heaven through Saudi Arabia

forgiveness:
Go-ahead and tell me the name of Ashipa's father.

ademijuwonlo:
You need to read more

Afrojuju2017:
Not just Lagos go to Ibadan and Ilesha you'll find that same diversity in the families that settled there and raised multiple generations. Ogbomosho was a settlement area granted to Oyo people fleeing conflict

He's reading things backwards. If you ask him to read more, you just want to scatter his brain

Predictor3:
Yorubas are too interrelated for these people to understand. I laugh whenever they say what's the business of an Ibadan man with Lagos. It's like saying what's the business of an Oyo man with Osun matters.

Gerhards:
Cry harder.. You want me to read your Lagos/Ibadan express propaganda just to massage your ego, iro ni

Nwaikpe:
Again, you immediately thought I was Igbo.


And I really don't know your level of comprehension, but what I am sure about is that I never mentioned the Igbos being the first to interact with the West. For your information, the first interaction of the West with Nigeria was with the Niger Delta. Particularly, Calabar. It was hundreds of years later that the Brits had any contact with Lagos. The Igbos may have been the last (according to you), but they were more intelligent and receptive than other people. That is why they could easily assimiliate into the culture of the colonials.

As I said, you listen too much to Reno Omokri.

Nwaikpe:
Eating your words can't help you, wise one.



In a state university, the students are forced to learn the history of the state?



That is exactly why the product of such system is speaking the way you do.

Gerhards:
Epain am well well, Lagos belong to all Nigerian, has nothing to do with Yorubas, kiss the truth

Please face your Ibadan and leave Lagos alone, thank you

Lolz
So u dont even know🤣
U just read somewhere that he came from isheri and u carried the lie.
Anyways
Ashipa is the second son of Oba Orhogbua - the seventh Oba of Benin and the 49th king of igodomigodo kingdom. His mother name was Umelu.
His elder brother and Orhogbua successor Oba Ehengbuda was the one that engaged the oyo empire that resulted in the treaty that birthed the Benin-Oyo frontier, a military group to help fight externals. The treaty was signed in Otun - present day Ekiti.

Oba Ehengbuda then had power over most Yoruba states e.g Owo and others and their kings then were required to pay tribute to the Oba.

So guy, if u are really want to know who Ashipa was, waka enter Alaafin palace or Olowo of Owo and ask them what is the relationship between Ashipa and Oba Ehengbuda
They will tell u straight they are brothers except they are twisting history too.
Thank you

This is why you people should read a book and stop regurgitating ignorannt talk points you see online.

By 1891 the Brits were yet to conquer the Igbo, and by the time they finally encountered and fought the Igbos for more than 14 years, the British had nothing but admiration for the Igbo people, they marveled at their battle tactics, strategy and indomitable spirit and resilience. The feats the Igbos accomplished against the British were not something a barbarians who live on treetops and walk naked could have accomplished.

Nwaikpe:
But it is clear that everyone there was from different places.
Meaning there is absolutely nothing like "Lagosian" but a confederation of people from different places.


Abi you decided to overlook the stats and just make a comment?

GeneralOuki:
The whitemen did not just see them as equal, they were legit threatened by the speed at which they levelled up in such a short time and began to challenge them in certain aspects.

Gerhards:
No amount of fake documents or conjured stories can hide the truth about Lagos, some part of Lagos belongs to EWE tribe who you can found in Ghana, Benin Republic. make you no rewrite Lagos history. Ire oo

Ttalk:
Provide reference to back up your point that the first group the whites visited were the Calabar people.

Toluwanise247:
The igbo’s don’t exist then ?

That means that the people who claim to own Lagos today are not even from Lagos!
