(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.


Kingdoms of the Yoruba page 13.
By Robert Sydney Smith
of course I know this about the idejo chiefs owning Lagos land but be weary of edo boys apparently every piece of history is written by people who has a feud against Benin king.

Lol....ure happy with the lies you bake up with proves no one have seen on net ....

If that makes you feel good its ok but the bottom line is african history is crap rubbish i only found hope in Benin art well appreciated in the world go ahead and claim the entire Nigeria was birthed by the yorubas even the ooni once said adam nd eve came from ife not to say benin
Ogedengbe the generalissimo of Ilesa and Ekiti parapo forces invaded Edo territory around 1878 capturing towns and was about to overrun and take Benin city if not for the desperate attempts of the Oba of Benin and his Chiefs in pacifying him.

Many Edo’s still bear the Ijesa Yoruba surname of Ogedengbe today.

shut up there oyo king is by ancestry just like almost every Yoruba kingdom. It is not necessary that the first born will automatically be the king. U just have to be a descendants of the king just like the German. It use to be hereditary when if a king dies the first king automatically takes his place but since the notice that the (aremo) the king first child will want to hasten the death of his father so he can become king they changed the model. So u can be second or 3rd born and still be king as long as u come from the king lineage. Ibadan was created in 1892 during the break of oyo and had more population than ado ekiti that has existed beyond it. How will Nigeria population surpass the Americas own dumbass do more people go to Nigeria than America and do more people leave America than they leave Nigeria use ur head dumbass think. And despite that expert are predicting due to Nigeria high birth rate and the Americans low one we will surpass their population by the year 2050. I don’t want to believe u are this dumb to ask me such question. Now have u googled chief Oloton and sango mother like I told u too.
[b]Did you know having the masses, which are you poor people, fight with each other over tribalism is a plot of the ruling elite? You are kept poor, hungry, out of work, uneducated, and unable to rally for a change you so desperately need, do you realize that's what is happening? This is your only change for a voice on NL and you choose it to attack each other. How come? Its useless activity my young brothers.

Instead of going on about the greatness of ancient kings, who was greater, become great kings of today. Unite people across ethnic groups that's how you become a great king.

You may not believe it. Sango had more than Yorubas supporting him as king otherwise Oyo would not be classified as a great empire. Neither would the Edo King or Benin Emperor fail to unite other groups that would have furthered their greatness. Unite more than just your group if you want to change this Afrikan mess. Or fall short like the generation before you.

The choice is yours.

It's Edo. Benin is a political name just as Lagos is a political name.

Benin is not in Edo lexicon. Just as Lagos is not in Yoruba lexicon.

Hence Omo n'ba n'Edo or Eleko ni Eko.

With humility,

Ogedengbe was not defeated not even by the Ibadan Army that defeated the Fulanis the Oba of Benin and his Chiefs pleaded desperately with him to show mercy and not destroy Benin he had already taken many Edo towns and had encircled and besieged Benin . Ebohon was probably the leader of the begging party Oba of Benin sent to deliver presents and plead with Ogedengbe ,but was later killed to save face, that is why there was no confrontation with Ogedengbe at Orhua. By the way Orhua was solid Benin territory why was Ogedengbes Army not confronted there? Or was the Benin Army too scared to fight? Think ,do people bear the name of a general they defeated for over 100 years ?

Ebohon and his party were sent to plead with Ogedengbe . The Esans were the traditional Warriors of the Oba of Benin. Learn your History.
The reason Ogedengbe wanted to punish Oba of Benin was because he was supporting the Ibadan Army while Ogedengbe and the Ekitiparapo were at war with Ibadan.

Around 1878 Ogedengbes Army after overrunning and taking many Edo towns encircled Benin and besieged it and would have overun and taken the City but for the desperate attempts of the Oba of Benin and his Chiefs in pacifying Him.

Many Edo’s still bear the Ijesa Yoruba surname of Ogedengbe today.

From an Edo website
Which Ogedengbe? Please Ogedengbe was a coward.. He only raided villages on Benin Northern borders and fled when he was informed of an approaching Benin Army.. The only reason he succeeded in raiding those villages was due to slow method of communication at that time.. before message could get to Benin and an army sent to confront him he had raided a few villages..
Ogedengbe was given a choice by the advancing Benin army.. Stay and fight or leave before the Benin Army gets to his position and if he leaves they won't pursue him.. he took the deal and fled.. Why he no wait?"?

I know it will make sense to you Yorubas that Benin that was never defeated in battle can be defeated my small Ogedengbe.. You people should stop deceiving yourselves.. I know u guys are pained that Benin is seen worldwide as a greater and mightier empire than all Yoruba kingdoms..

It is okay for you to celebrate your Ogedengbe since that is the only hero Yorubas can boast of in all of your history. However stop lying about Ogedengbe exploits in Benin Kingdom. He staged a surprise invasion into Benin territory and when Benin knew he was given a choice (either stay and fight Benin army or flee and be spared) and he fled so as not to face confrontation from the Benin army. Below is message sent to Ogedengbe while Benin army was approaching.

"Oba sent a parcel of red sand, stony sand and gunpowder to Ogedengbe as ‘’aroko’’. "Look at this red sand, If the land on which you are standing is red, you are in Edo/Benin territory. Also, Gun powder means war, sand means leave the Edo/Benin lands and return to your stony land of Ilesha and fight the Ibadans. We will not attack you if you heed advice and we shall support your fight with Ibadan’’.
Your Ogedengbe choose sand and left Benin territory.

On another note, Ogedengbe invasion into Benin Territory was around 1848.. It was around this period Benin Kingdom was fighting wars in Eastern Yoruba lands, and few years before Ogedengbe exploits Benin had captured Akure and beheaded your Deji..
So it is suprising that it is the same Mighty Benin you guys are thinking Ogedenbge could defeat in battle?

"Every town or village under him (Ewi) except Ijan were prepared to fight…The Benin soldiers stormed Igbara-Odo and Ilawe and took them. At this time, Ado town had been vacated. Aroloye took the people to a place called Oke Oko Axis between Ifaki and Iworoko. Most of the gods Ado worshipped on that side: Olua at Eyio, Obanifon at Esure and Are, Ogbese and Orisala at Iworoko. The soldiers pitched their camps near Uyin (Iyin)…Ogbesi Okun, the then Oluyin …was conquered and killed. They proceeded to Igede, Awo and Esure and took them. The inhabitants of Igede then uder Okiribiti were driven in a north-easternly direction to a place called Oke Asha…Edo troops then marched to Iworoko…The soldiers entered Are…The same fate befell Afao. They were all taken to Ikere. The soldiers moved to Igbemo …entered Igbo-Omoba (now Ilu-Omoba)…The soldiers left Aisegba for Agbado and without delay took it and evacuated the people. Agbado was the last place under the Ewi. With the conquest, of Agbado, the soldiers seemed to have finished their job…’

Ewi Aroloye (1808-1836) who reigned at Ado but were attacked successively by Benin hordes…‘During the reign of Ewi Aroloye, Ado-Ewi’s kingdom witnessed massive dislocation across the terrain as town dwellers and villagers ran for safety in different directions. Many of the captives from Iworoko, Are, Afao, Ugboomoba (now Ilumoba) and Agbado were taken to Ukere by Benin invaders’."
