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.
cc: RuggedSniper. 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. 5 Likes 1 Share |

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"

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.

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? Reason you cannot post anything in English anymore 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. And the only area that has significance to the Benin presence is where we call Enuwa... A tiny space less than the size of a football field at the extreme end of the land towards the lagoon

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. 2 Likes |

So basically after being caught telling lies, you just stick with your lies with no shame ? The document proves without any doubt that Lagos belongs to Benin. I notice how you are avoiding to quote the true translation of the document
Let me give you it's actual translation one more time:
actual translation my foot. 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? 1 Like |
