oneeast3:Those that came to Onitsha are missionaries. European slave traders has been in the Niger Delta for decades( and they are not interested in establishing schools, churches, hospitals, etc.) before missionaries started coming into Onitsha and other parts of the country. |

Iamgrey5:Obviously u don't understand things well... The Benin ruled Lagos indirectly using the Oba of Lagos ... And the rule ended when the British invaded Lagos, pursued Oba kosoko and reinstalled Oba Akitoye. Then when Benin were defeated by the British, they lost all their territories outside their Homeland So Oba of Lagos was subjected to the Oba of Benin. The ruling system of the Oba of Lagos included the use of chiefs popularly known as white Cap chiefs or Onifila funfun like idejo(landowners), akarigbere(king makers), etc... And since it has been established that elegushi was part of the idejo and is subjected to the Oba of Lagos, so therefore, elegushi was indirectly subjected to Oba of Benin... In summary Oba of Benin >>>> Oba of Lagos >>>> Elegushi If u can't understand , I'm sorry there's nothing more I can do for ur lack of understanding 6 Likes 1 Share |

Etinosa1234:Nonesense! Elegushi was never a subject to Oba of Lagos They existed in a mutual respect setting Elegushi and the rest of the white cap chiefs had the power which was the control of Land. If Oba of Lagos was powerful, why couldn't he command them to give his red cap chiefs their lands? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Etinosa1234:They became a colony after their amalgamation and full inculcation into the British Empire which happened after 1914. Prior to that both protectorate were self-governed with interest from the British government. It might seem pedantic but they are different. As a colony between 1914 to 1960, they were wholly under British rule and governance. Its like saying Hitler ruled France because he occupied France during the 2nd World War. This is something similar |

Etinosa1234:So you don't there were red and White cap chiefs in Lagos? You don't know the likes of Obanikoro's family were red cap chiefs while idejo were White cap chiefs? The houses of the red cap chiefs with affiliations to Benin kingdom are still on Lagos island till date. Places like iga Kosoko, iga Obanikoro but the land belongs to Aromire.

Kennydoc: You are a good man, please try to be a little more vocal don't allow the bad Igbos to be more visible and audible than you guys it is crazy that an Igbo will claim whites reached Onitsha before coming back down to Ijaw land when Portuguese had already started trading with the Ijaws as early as the 15th century, many stories abound from Henrietta Kingsley even much earlier than her. I am Ijaw but I didn't just want to argue because I am thinking "If the white man reached you first so what?" We have a bell in my village as a gift from the London Anglican church it was given to us in the early before the 18th century And the British didn't enter Igbo land till after that time Also alot of Ijaw/Kalabari people especially like Ben Murray bruce ancestors, professor Robin Horton and co. were white men from UK, Portugal and elsewhere who came and decided to settle in Ijaw land till their deaths some came as early as the 15th century and others much later as late as 19th century like Professor Horton did he became a chief in Kalabari land married a native and all that but he was white 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Etinosa1234:If we use your submission that Hitler ruled France, then rulership would be too lose a term. I am very sure the French wont list Hitler as one of its ruler. A military occupation translates into rulership when resistance has been totally/subtotally crushed and rulership is established post-occupation. The Americans/Russians occupied Germany after their victory in WW2. Both it’ll take more than a strong notion to say Americans/Russians ruled Germany. 3 Likes 1 Share |
