Igbos and Yorubas, please unite. We have more important things to struggle for, like the attempts to take ethnic and ancestral lands of the South for cattle grazing reserves.

MuttleyLaff: The Gold coast, Tooth coast (i.e. Ivory coast) Slave coast, Pepper coast, Grain coast etcetera and then the kingdoms, like the kingdom of Benin, the kingdom of Judah, the kingdom of Songhai etcetera, the Ibo island in Mozambique etcetera, just as the naming of our very own Lagos, which is different from the original Portuguese Lagos, lmao, were all made up and given those names under Portuguese influence.

Lagos, originally a fishing village, was founded by the Awori, in the 13th century and was called Eko, it was co-inhabited by the Awori and Bini.

The original Edo or Bini, the Beninese people, of the Empire of Benin/Benin Kingdom, conquered and resettled there, after taking over the place from the Awori.

It actually, is the military nature of the original settlement, that gave Lagos, its original name "Eko", which in the Bini dialect, means "war camp"

Initial contact with Benin Empire and neighboring states were made in the 1400’s, by Portuguese explorers, who described the Lagos lagoon inlet, lake and island with their maps making notes of the existence of the Lagos lagoon lake. However, the name Lagos, was given it, by the Portuguese explorer Rui de Sequeira, when he visited the area in 1472, naming the area around the city, Lago de Curamo, or Lake of Healing, but Lagos actually means "Lakes or Lagoon" in Portuguese.

Former names were, Oko to Eko, from Curamo to Onim, and from Onim to Lagos. Dutch maps depict "Ichoo" obviously Eko, as an important trading town connected by way of Lagoons to Benin and to the Niger.

donnie I hope you know all these sha, lmao hmm? I hope you can see the Portuguese connection forming all over Africa
