Who cares who named it, who used to owned Lagos, or what Lagos means as long as it now belongs to the Yoruba? Who cares? Or does Chicago, London, Bauchi have any meaning ��, to mention but few. WFT. Lazy youths everywhere. Lmao 7 Likes |

Biafrannuke: Hello flattie Lemme help you a bit. Every town or city that has original Yorubas have not only a name but an oriki. So, let me give you the Yoruba oriki of Lagos Eko akete ilu ogbon Eko akete, aromisa legbelegbe. I'm sure you get the gist now. Like someone told you. Eko means to pack something in Yoruba. It might have another meanin in Edo but there is nothing in its history to suggest it was ever a war camp. However, it was known to be a trading outpost even before the Portuguese between the inhabitants and the mainland people who come to trade with the inhabitants. 4 Likes |

0m0nnakoda: Igweocha is the term used by later Igbo immigrants to Port Harcourt but the Natives didn't call their villages Igweocha. This is just like Igbos call London Obodo Oyinbo but this doesn't mean 'Obodi Oyinbo' is a valid name for London. 3 Likes |

Biafrannuke: The Edo's and Yorubas have long historical interactions, not only on the Island of Lagos but in many areas. The Edos influenced, ruled and settled in some parts of Lagos just as the British did in centuries later but today, neither the Edos nor the British can be regarded as owing anywhere in Lagos. |

duncun: The British were NOT the first to settled in Nigeria. Different Empires, Kingdoms and Villages existed in Nigeria and were called different names in different parts. What the British only did was to bring these different Empires/Kingdoms and Villages together under one authority. This is very similar to what the Bini soldiers did in what later became known as Lagos. Before the Coming of the Binis, different Idejo clans controlled different parts of the Islands. It was the Binis soldiers led by Ashipa (whom the Binis called Eksheripa) that brought everybody together under a monachial rule affliated to the Bini Monarchy. What the |

Success1020: May Irokogbe destroy you and all your lineage the next time you link Esans and Afemais with that dirty, cannibalistic, man-eating tribe from across the Niger. The Yorubas are our brothers and cousins, I dont know why you filthy clowns are always eager to say we're kin to you---WE ARE NOT! I swear, you guys are sick in the head, and I really cant wait until Nigeria splits and you guys can go on your merry deceitful ways, because to be honest youre the worst problem in this country. 3 Likes |

Biafrannuke: Stop saying nonsense, Eko is the native Yoruba Name for Lagos Island (Erekusi Eko). Camp= Ago (Bini)= Ago (Yoruba). Okun(Bini)= Okun (Yoruba)= Sea. During the 15th century, both Bini and Yorubas spoke a common ( or similar) tongue and didn't need interpreters to communicate. So where did you hear that EKO means camp in Bini language? |
