Lordave: Lagos Island only was founded by the Benin's. You can google it. All Oba of Lagos pays homage to the Benin Monarch instead of IFE. There are other Kingdoms founded by Benin Princes,but those facts not too known to the public. Except for the fact, that when it comes to the picking of their kings,they are usually taken to the Oba's palace for week's for preparation before ascending the throne. Examples are the Obi of Onitsha. Yes, Onitsha was founded by the Bini's. Obi of Agbor, Otaru of Auchi and all Monarchs in Edo State. The Asaba Monarch,and that a lot to numerous to mention all pay homages to the Benin Kingdom. Benin Kingdom in those days use to be very powerful. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Lordave: Forget the noise an average Onitsha man makes openly, that they were not part of the Bini Kingdom or that the Monarch don't pay homage to the Benin palace. Truth is, the Monarchy is still 100% loyal to the OBA of Benin. 8 Likes 1 Share |

DMerciful: That was the mistake they made. The Benin tribe and empire would have been the largest in southern Nigeria if the occupied the conquered regions, forced them to speak the Benin language and accept the oba of Benin as King. History is good Imagine, the yorubas, aworis, igbos, itsekiri, urhobo, isoko, ijaw and so many other tribes were under the Benin rule. 3 Likes |

Ubenedictus:binis didn't even settle in Aworiland until the Idejo issued an invitation At first Bini set up a military camp headed by Ashipa at today's Enuwa( at the extreme edge if the lagoon) After the invitation Ado moved to Ido island and was tasked with the defence of Aworiland Administrative duties had always laid with the Idejo It was Ado's son Gabaro who set up Eko as a community cum kingdom by extending the initial camp on land given to him by Aromire(the Idejo chief that Bini descendants always called "land owner" Edit: in fact Aromire didn't give him any land, he was simply allowed to build his House or Palace (Iga) on the land. Gabaro then used his influence and military advantage to declare a kingdom and request insignia of office from Oba of Bini Lagos traditional politics is not like anywhere else and not until recently the Eleko was more like a baale And Oba of Bini only had reference from bini descendants and demanded fealty from the Eleko, the Idejo were not vassals. Everybody went about their business, Eleko to provide defence and the Idejo to control their land 3 Likes |

Most Anioma villages including Onicha Mmili was founded by Eze Chime, an Nri priest who relocated to Bini Kingdom, lived for a while , had a fallout with the Oba and went back home. He founded the Onicha Royal stool, styled after the Bini royalty. Eze Chime isn't Bini. That a man travels to US , stays there for years, comes home to set up a hospital styled after John Hopkins Uni. Hospital , does that make him , his hospital and people Americans? HungerBAD: |

I think this matter has been put to rest. As an said I man from Lagos island royal household I think I can state some facts from my pov. 1. The old and even present day Lagos island WAS NEVER OWNED BY BINIS. 2. The monarchy is firmed by a bini Prince and this does not make us under binu in any way 3. Bini itself came from Ile ife. 4. Before binis migrated we have the awori people and every bini linkage is now awori as I am from one of the lineage. 5. We are yorubas in every sense and we consider binis as yorubas 6. Akinolu was never meant to be oba but Tinubu forced him on us. It was the family of Adebiyi that was to be king after oyekan 7. Unlike the binis we know our history and that is why homage is paid to the oba bini till this day. Bini is meabt to be doing thr same to the ooni 2 Likes 1 Share |

DMerciful:the Fulani wars were religious wars meant to supplant and totally subjugate the culture and way of life of the conquered people, Benin wars were just expansionist wars mainly for the purpose of receiving tributes without the desire to subjugate the people. that is why most communities that were conquered by the Benin army still retained their unique cultural heritage. |

Even Akiolu cannot say he is not yoruba. What does he speak ? Is he more bini than an oyekan, dosumu or Kosoko . Even I have more claim than akinolu. This rubbish is as a result of Tinubu's misdirection and greed. |
