OmoOlofin:
Well-done macof for giving these die-hard Lagosian-wannabe Edos a bloody nose over their irrational and inane Lagos claims. You killed it.

I will like to add a clarifying point and a comment though in relation to the so-called Bini area and the name “Eko”.

(1) First, knowing how these deluded Edos have been gripped hard by delusions of grandeur, I believe it is very important to clarify what is meant by Bini area.

The isolated wasteland left by the Ijebus, et al. to the Binis is no more than a Bini-occupied area which the Binis settled in as an immigrant resident trading community as is their trade practice in other parts of Yorubaland.

Moreover, the history of the European coastal trading activities in Lagos (as well as Ulsheimer’s 1603 eyewitness account of certain conflicts in Lagos) indicate that the Binis have settled there — as an immigrant resident trading community — since not-latter-than the late-1500s.

Apparently, they were following in the footsteps of the Ijebus who had also settled in “Lagos” as an immigrant resident trading community.

S.A. Akintoye (2010) has a list of the other immigrant resident trading communities that were also attracted to settle in ”Lagos” by the growing European coastal trading activity. Some of them are: the Ijaw, the Ikale, the Aja (from today’s Republic of Benin), the Egba, et al.

In sum then, your statement “nobody is dragging Enuwa” must be understood by these mythomaniacs in its proper historical context along the lines that the Bini resided there just in a similar way as the Igbos today are the major immigrant residents of Satellite Town for example.

This is not to say that the Igbos are the aboriginal owners of this slum, just as the Bini are not the aboriginal owners of the sandy wasteland. Both groups obviously came in at some different historical points in time, looking for greener pastures.

The aboriginal ownership of all the land remains the exclusive right of the earliest and original settlers of “Lagos” — the Awori subgroup of the Yoruba ‘race’. Everyone else came in centuries later for survival, hoping to benefit from the fruits of the Aworis’ ancient exploration.


(2) Having clarified the foregoing, the name “Eko” — contrary to what deluded Edo Nairalanders love to claim — is not of Bini origin whatsoever.

The 1845 work cited by our deluded Edo interlocutor clearly admits that the name “Eko” was not from the Binis but from the Yorubas.

I have argued this sometimes last two weeks on another thread citing the fact that the Edo word which our deluded Edo Nairaland friends often cling to is not even a general Edo word.

In fact, the word is not found in the Bini dialect. Rather, it is found exclusively in the Esan dialect. Yet, the Esans had no business in Lagos historically. It was particularly the Binis who came.

Lagos Island belongs to the Aromire family till today. Aromire was a son of Olofin an Ile Ife Prince who was the first to settle Lagos with his followers. Aromire was a great lover of Water. He is said to have Swam to Lagos Island on first sighting it. Eko is the way the Yoruba Ijebu pronounced Ereko after Ereko on the Island. Eko (Ereko) means field in Yoruba and Ereko Ile is used to describe an Island.

The Oba of Benin needed a Port to do business with the Portuguese who advised him that Lagos Island was a good location so through an agreement the Awori Aromire family gave him Isale Eko part of the Island just as Sabon Gari is given to outsiders in Kano. The Oba of Lagos is not even the king of Lagos Island he is the King of Isale Eko which was the location of the international Slave Port . The Island belongs to the Aromire Chieftaincy family who are under the jurisdiction of the Olota of Otta in Ogun State who is the paramount traditional ruler of all Aworiland, just as the Alake is the ruler of all Egbaland and the Alaafin the ruler of all Oyos.


The People of the Historically important Yoruba town of Otun Ekiti in Ekiti state migrated from Lagos in the 15th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos the revisionists are not aware of this History and are just making up lies as they go along.


Some people have tried to distort Awori History out of Selfishness.

The text says the land that belongs to Benin is the extreme end towards the lagoon

I was silly for not reading your entire writeup, I stopped when I saw one lie from you and I corrected it without caring to read further.
My French is actually better than my English, I will be doing a full translation in order to show that you are a liar and to stop you from decieving people any further. And to the others whom are just too lazy to use Google translation, shame on you.

The actual translation of the text in full:

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the Yebous have seazed that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."


@ Areafada, Gregyboy, Samuk, Davidnazee.

Very obviously the metropolis being talked about is Benin !
Macof why are you such a liar ?
For your info, "langue de terre" means : "very narrow piece of land". You don't speak French and your Google translation won't translate that, because it is an expression.
While discussing history with you guys yoruba, it always comes down to this: you must lie ! But why ? It is history, it has already happened, why try to create your alternate reality ?

For readers who only want the truth, the text is here for you, don't be lazy, translate it.

Also, when you see expressions like "langue de terre" you have to first look at its meaning in a French dictionary ( just type the expression on Google, it should give you the meaning in french), then you translate the meaning (which would be words in french) into English.
Don't believe me, just do the work and don't be lazy.

I have also proven once and for all that macof and his fellow yorubas are liars. They will lie even when the evidence that they are telling lies is in front of everybody's eyes.

Drop your evidence and walk away if they wont admit it, their children will be more liberal minded to, when dey get to see it.......
But if he still insist on dragging you out, dont fall for it, instead drag them out yourself to just yabbing on how cowardo their ancestors were to the benin people keep the insult up till dey whisk off with tears .....

Most yorubas here have not read benin history or even lagos history and may have not even visted lagos before but they make it mandatory to defend lagos, because its a Yoruba town just to keep their coward ego.....
Dont let it happen drag them out by their balls with blunt truth and make that ego of theirs worthless and behind their keyboard they will weep to have come from Yoruba .....

If they want to drag you to benin-ife controversy tell them to bring prove dating from 1487 to 1897 showing benin ife connection, if it really happened, if it was really not a mere diplomatic statement made by eweka11 after his ascension to the throne, if you keep doing this they will be scared to face you next time

Remember most yorubas here dont even know the history they are arguing for, some peeps are in ekiti defending lagos history when dey have not even visited or seen lagos in their own dream before, but are defending lagos from their phones because of tribalistic pride.....

That text deals a heavy blow to the usual claims of you Bini miscreants
"nous l'a appelee Eco, et c'est ainsi que la designent les Yebous... Benin, qui lui applique le nom Korame"
"Eco(Èkó) is the name given to it by the Yebous (Ijebu)... The Benin call it Korame"

If you are to post this text as authoritative then you must know that you cannot claim "Èkó" is a Bini word. The Bini called Lagos "Korame" after the Portuguese "Curamo". So Bini didn't even know about the area until the Portuguese
Your own source testifies to it being named Eko by the Ijebu

Futhermore, the text says
".. Korame etait unie a sa metropole par la langue de terre resserree entre la grande lagune et la mer; mais des longtemps les Yebous se sont empares..."
"Korame (Lagos) was formerly larger, included a metropolis between the Great lagoon and the sea but for a long time the Yebous (Ijebu) seized this area"

Futher the text says
"dont l'extremite orientale a ete envahie par les pirates Ouyo; et Korame est restee isolee au bout de la grande lagune, continuant a recevoir du Benin"
"the Eastern part of this area was invaded by pirates from Ouyo(Oyo) and what is left of Korame is the isolated end towards the great lagoon, this is all that is controlled by Benin"



Do you see how you are not smart enough?

You don't know even in French you cannot escape with lying on texts.

As someone who is familiar with Lagos tradition, I can confirm this text is right. In Lagos nobody will testify to "Èkó" being named by Bini people.

Don't fall into the trap of asking for "reputable historian" ! He will just quote an other revisionist crook, there are so many revisionist crooks in the African history profession ! Ask him for eye witness written document !
That is how you deal with history ! You consult documents written by eye witnesses, you don't go around looking for "reputable historian", you would only get hoodwinked by revisionist crooks.

Both Ife and Bini say the oba of Benin is of yoruba origin
It is where oduduwa comes from that the disagreement begins

It is not taking what suits ego. Its taking in what the evidence and traditional records suggest

Even in Bini traditions, oduduwa is not said to be of igodomigodo origin. It is only recently that narratives of such have been spreading online, narratives that have no confirmation with the traditions of Bini or anywhere. Historians know this, and no single historian takes that nonsense Bini claim seriously

Mr man I have posted a document published in 1845 which states very clearly that Lagos belongs to Benin.
The document was written in French and your fellow Yoruba (macof) tried to deceive everybody by giving a fake translation of the document. Everything is in this same page.
You yorubas are a lying bunch with no shame.

Because you are a notary or authorised translating firm?

Next time if you want to be taken seriously post texts in a language people understand.
But you failed to realise that people have caught on to your scheme.

Even your translation says "and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."
so the isolated end of the land was what was left to Bini's control which confirms what people can see in Lagos today with Enuwa (about the size of a football field or smaller)

What else do you have?
