there was no oba of Lagos in the past... Lagos like other Yoruba cities was a farm which was protected by Armed farmers which is why it was called Oko but the Binis corrupted it to Eko (because of the Armed farmers)...

Bini Kings never had a say in the Yoruba nation because Binis had their own nation and only traded with the Yorubas..

Omofunaab2:



Stop saying nonsense.. .. baale of idumota is even a junior king to Ayangburen of Ikorodu...

Akiolu should be under the Olota of Ota who happens to be the paramount ruler of Awori land... . Awori owns lagos Island

life2017:
The oba of Lagos is a descendant of Oba of Benin.
The first Oba of Lagos was a Benin prince.

Oba Akiolu of lagos is only speaking as a son of Benin kingdom. He respects his heritage.

Jobazenu:

so u didn't know? go and read your books. education is life.

IditaBoy:
.

Before people start frothing in the eyes going back and forth over Yoruba-Lagos-Benin matter.

Please keep in mind that the Lagos that had anything to do with Benin is not the entirety of Lagos state.

See below and tailor your arguments around it:

777philosopher:
No. you are wrong. Oduduwa was a King in ile-ife. the Ogiso dynasty that ruled Benin first has nothing to do with Oramiyan Dynasty. they are different people. All the Obas of Benin were buried in ile-ife after their death. always state true Facts of History please.

femolii:
Shut up if u don't know any thing.

Marotzke:
Are Aworis Yoruba?
Should be , is it the same as it is?
We are talking what is obtainable now, not what should be obtainable.

777philosopher:
Yes, it is True. Oba of Benin is a descendant of Oramiyan. which is Oba of ile -Ife, Oba of Oyo, and Oba of Benin are Blood Brothers. children of Oduduwa.

Illiteracy.

Look up what anachronism means.

I do not see what is more anachronistic than lifting the use/context of Lagos of pre-1970s for present day discourse.

Outside being able to write English averagely, you are not so educated.

And I’m from Ile-Ife and very proud of my backgrounds. It is the duty of every Yoruba son and daughter to protect every inch of Yoruba soil, hence I can talk about Lagos which is mostly Awori & Ijebu lands, both groups are very Yoruba

mr1759:



you want to fight abattle you already lost. for your information Yoruba is not a tribe, it was a nickname use in tying people together. aworis are not Yoruba, even ijebu King claim they are not yoruba. inclusion u don't know your land

DMerciful:
I do not understand why the old Benin kings never saw the strategic location of Lagos to have harnessed it when they conquered the war camp and called it Eko. Look at the Fulani, they conquered Ilorin and occupied it till date but the Benin kings left Eko that has more potentials than Benin....they weren't ambitious I guess. The Europeans chased the Indians and native Americans out of US and occupied it till date!

Ubenedictus:
yeah yeah, and the aworis had a Bini king. why are you angry about that?

samuk:


Oduduwa himself was an exiled Benin prince

mr1759:


if history have it that oramiyan can run from Benin for his life that means there is a lot you don't know about the kingdom

Ubenedictus:
actually I think you should do a little research, Benin empire also included ondo and much of Ogun, and even ekiti, the boundary is in otun ekiti....

Ubenedictus:
Benin war tactics was to make vassals out of new territory not to occupy them. usually the local chiefs remains and a Bini prince is made their head, the local Chief owns the lands and pays homage but the Bini Prince make the major decisions.


the hausas on the other hand impose their religion and fully occupy conquered territories.

Tolexander:

He won't stopped running mouth.

Lagos state geographic location aided its development.

How come, the prayers haven't developed Benin (Edo State as a whole), the seat of the Obas as Lagos?
