If we are going to use your analogy, that means ooni of ife has powers only in Ife town and not the entire south west....Abeg go and sleep, you have no point.

Yes he is not the Oba of all Yorubas, He is not my King we only respect him.My King is Awujale of Ijebu land.

Obi of Onitsha is the Biggest stool in Igboland doesn't make him King of all Igbos. There was nothing like Yoruba before, only people in the Old Oyo Empire were called Yorubas but after the various Wars we all fused under one Umbrella to be called Yorubas.

What's this one saying? We revere Ooni of Ife because Ife is the ancestral home of all Yoruba.

That doesn't mean the Deji of Akure has any say in the decision making of Osemawe of Ondo, Olugbo of Ugbo, Jegun of Ileoluji etc, all of which are in Ondo state! Get that sunk in.

Igbos are not land grabbers, if that is what you want to say.

The ooni of Ife is the paramount ruler and father of yoruba land just the same way oba of Lagos is the paramount ruler and father in Lagos state..Shikena..

You see the People calling Lagos No man's land and they don't know anything about the place. Alaafin of Oyo is not the Paramount ruler of all Oyo state. He is the ruler of Oyo town and its environs, the Olubadan of Ibadan rules Ibadan but Ibadan is under Oyo state.

You are the one who has comprehension issues if you dont know the meaning of "Benin war-camp called “Eko” under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time" and concluded that yorubas continue to use the word "eko" which was called under Oba Orhogba to refer to lagos.

Like i said, dont quote me again if you dont know anything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lagos

Funny enough Eko is still a Yoruba word today whereas Eko can't be found as part of Bin speech today. Lol.

Oba Orghoba assisted the Awori in conquering their enemy and appointed his prince, Ado to govern them but according to the Ibos, the Awori folks suddenly became Bini folks because a Bini man was ruling over them? Lol.

Until you have told me of how your ancestors became British under the colonial rule, you're barking the wrong tree.

Lol, Eko is a yoruba word yet the Lagos state government says its a Bini word...Abeg go and sleep. You are confused.

First of all You are not Yoruba so you cant Understand these things. Do you know Olubadan of Ibadan is not under the Alaafin of Oyo but Ibadan is under Oyo state. It is the same thing here the Ayangburen of Ikorodu and Elepe of Epe are not under Oba of Lagos but both Ikorodu and Epe are under Lagos State. Lagos Island the Original Lagos is what they used to name the entire state just like Oyo town is What they used to name Oyo state.

@bolded, If you revere ooni then he is your paramount ruler..Fact.

I dont need to say more.

Look at this liar. Why don't you show me where Lagos state government stated that Eko is a Bini word? Better go improve your comprehensive skills.

Okay, i am not yoruba, thats why i dont understand these things according to you right?

But Oba of Lagos who is yoruba and one of the paramount rulers in yoruba land says Lagos is not yoruba land.

Till date no other oba or ooni has come to debunk his claims, only some disgruntled people online like yourself.

And how does it correlate with Oba of Lagos? Is Oba of Lagos now the Ooni of Ife that we revere? You're really something..

You dey mind him. Tbh, this discussion is really funny to me. Ondo, Ogun folks would have to become Bini lands before Lagos can become one. Lol. As for the Ibos, they would first have to claim the whole of Edo land before coming to Ondo, Ogun and then Lagos.

laudate:
We are not surprised by your words. You come from that part of Nigeria, where they have no respect for elders. That is why you can insult someone old enough to be your grandfather, with such careless abandon. It shows the kind of stuvpidity that resides in your brain.

Good name is better than silver, but the useless people of the senseless generation did not see it that way.

They shamelessly destroyed nigeria out of their greediness.

Am only stating facts..The yorubas should not try to change history. Shikena.

Who is this ok is (osu) osu leave yorubas history and have your own history azik and ojukwu really brain wash u.

TheKingIsHere:
So you want to take the part were the professor said Lagos is yoruba land but leave the part were he said that Lagos populace was predominantly Bini?

See humans?

You want to take the part that soothes you and ignore the rest.

Like I said, Lagos belongs to the Benin Kingdom. No amount of twisting can change this fact.

This is oba of Lagos visiting the former oba of Benin.

The alliance has always been there.

Really?? The same way Onitsha belongs to Benin, because it was founded by a Benin prince. Even Zik acknowledged this fact in his book.

TheKingIsHere:
You see, when they cant argue constructively they start to throw insults. You can cry me a river but fact is Lagos belongs to the Benin Kingdom. Pele.

But a good news is that osogbo is purely yoruba land.

You are so ignorant, that everyone who reads your comments only end up making fun of you. Chai!! You flunked history in secondary school, and failed geography as well. What a pity.

For those who did not read but decided to rush to comment,He was talking to the OBA OF LAGOS who said Lagos is not part of YorubaLand.

Mogbe

yes its Yoruba land, but yorubas have little to do with the development, just like eko Atlantic is the brain child of a Lebenese man.
