shut up there now he resorts to recent interview given after he realizes his foolishness regarding the LASG document he was holding on too. This is another interview granted by two indigene of the same soil that approve that awori was owner of the land not Benin. Ajayi Bembe na hungry man simple. I will keep posting British account that experience things first hand without any politics or bias and explain who they met and owns Lagos island which is none other than Yoruba. Edo and ibo boys can kill them selves if it pain them that much

They know the evidence has beaten them, they are just bluffing.

From the Yorubas Obas conference 1937 proceedings
Hosted by Sir Bernard Boudillon Governor General of Nigeria
on 31st March and 1st April 1937



Quoting last paragraph of first page:

“The Chiefs were seated in a horse-shoe formation, with the Oni of Ife ,as the head of the town from which all Yorubas have traditionally sprung , at the centre ,and the Alaafin of Oyo at the western and the Oba of benin at the eastern end, an arrangement which gave general satisfaction.”
And the arrangement is supposed to mean what? The Oba of Benin's involvement in that conference was merely instigated by the colonial masters and Awolowo as a political front, like they did with the north (assuming you read what you posted). No such meetings ever happened before 1937.

Jacob Egharevba. Was a Historian and Benin high Chief.
The Benin history of EKALADARAN by far older than was shared by Oba Erediauwa. It only took him that publication to open Yoruba's eyes to the Benin history which Yoruba peoples never knew

The Oba of Benin is not in that picture and the caption on the picture was done decades after the picture was taken.
yoruba and fake is like one and two.
The Oba of Benin is not a "yoruba", how many times must we tell you that.

To the best of my knowledge, the oni of ife became the prime minister of the western region in a period during the colonial era. I can only wonder if these yoruba juveniles are aware of that. Because some of them seemed to see a "traditional" meanings to the oni exercising "prime minister powers" in the colonial era. Face it guys, you are too dumb and uneducated.
The only thing one needs to look at are precolonial maps which show you who is who.

Oba Aderemi became Governor of the Western Region after independence in 1960. Get your facts right. The Obas conference was in 1937 , 23 years earlier.




Jacob Egharevba was a Benin Historian and high Chief

Thank you bro for a very enlightening piece.
I have asked them same question before when they said Aworis invited Benin. Why would the Aworis bypass all the Yorubas kingdoms and come to Benin?
Even if it is true that Aworis came to Benin for help then doesn’t that proves Benin was a mightier, more powerful kingdom than all the Yorubas kingdoms and the Aworis must have seen Benin conquer and ruling over Yoruba lands hence it came to Benin for help.

The problem with the Yorubas is that no matter how much they lie and twist the truth their stories will always work against them and show that Benin was more powerful than Yoruba and ruled over the Yorubas.
Benin remain part us not edo

(The Awori Yoruba Idejo Chiefs are the traditional Land owners of Lagos.)

In 1903 the British colonial Governor of Lagos (Sir William Macgregor) requested the Ooni travel to Lagos and rule among the Lagos Chiefs who was entitled to wear a beaded crown in Yorubaland.
