Rugaria: The difference here is that the Benin are not claiming they own Lagos daily which made your premises faulty. The Benin people respect the right of the Yorubas in Lagos and you won’t see them opening threads upon threads saying they own or have a stake in Lagos. Igbo on the other hand are trying so hard to say they own Rivers simply because Ikwerre traced their ancestry to Igboland. So if you’re gonna use Benin analogy, you should emulate their behavior of minding their business. 3 Likes |

LegendHero: Educated man Sir! You are the one acting like a deer in head light here. The Oba said this and I qoute again: "Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast." Is that quote too sophisticated for your highly educated mind to decipher? |

LegendHero: Ikwerres are NOT the only people in Rivers, my dear educated friend! The folks at Obigbo being slaughtered daily to your unending excitement are indigenous to Rivers State! Obigbo/Oyigbo (choose the one that gives you orgasm) is in Rivers State! And they're the ones being killed as igbos! So how am I claiming what is mine? Or are you saying that none igbos are the ones who chased away the people of Obigbo to start ipob activities there? |

Rugaria: Modern-day Lagos was founded by the Awori in the thirteenth century. It was later called Eko. The Portuguese explorer Ruy de Sequeira who visited the area in 1472, named the area around the city Lago de Curamo; the present name is Portuguese for "lakes". An alternate explanation is that Lagos was named for Lagos, Portugal - a maritime town which at the time was the main center of the Portuguese expeditions down the African coast and whose own name is derived from the Celtic word Lacobriga. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lagos#Colonial-era 2 Likes

Re: Questions For Ipob Over Wike by LegendHero(m): 12:47am On Nov 14, 2020 |
Rugaria: So what exactly is your motive for mentioning the Yorubas on this thread in the first place? Since you know there are indigenous Igbos in Rivers, why are you so pained that Wike said Ikwerres are not Igbo and dragging the Yorubas into this? Since Rivers is also your land, man up and fight Wike back instead of wasting your precious time on Nairaland. 1 Like |

LegendHero: Mentioned you guys because you guys have been all over the threads harassing everybody since Wike dropped what you guys presumed to be a "bombshell".. We were all here when the oba made that statement years back and nobody likes bringing it up as much as you guys do with similar statements from Eastern minority leaders. Why the fixation? That's why |

LegendHero: Wike never said ikwerres owned Rivers either.. He simply tried in the past to link his family tree to Benin just like the Oba! Can we agree on that? 1 Like |

Rugaria: Yes, just like we can agree that the Benin trace their kingship to Ife which is a Yoruba land and that means Yoruba also had influence on Benin which means Ife own Lagos. Can we agree on this too? 2 Likes |

LegendHero:Go and tell that to the Oba of Benin... You guys are a rare breed of treacherous characters. . What makes you guys happy is exactly what makes others sad... Since you have accepted that the original owners of Lagos are from Benin, you can now go to bed and sin no more.. 1 Like |

Rugaria: Thank God you know we are happy and you are sad. I hope you find joy soon. By the way, Ikwerres are not Igbos. Q.E.D.! |

LegendHero: If they say they are not then THEY ARE NOT! And if the Oba of Lagos says that Lagos is NOT Yorubaland, then it means that Lagos is not part of yorubaland! You are "educated", so I presume you should be able to grasp simple points easily... 1 Like |

Nwadiuto247: Then those of them that are members of Ohaneze should denounce their Igboness immediately, you cannot be Ikwerre and be a member of Ohaneze NDI Igbo at the same time. The funny thing is that some of them claim to be Aro Ikwerre, do the really know the meaning of Aro? You cannot be Aro, and not be Igbo. What a confusion. |

Nwadiuto247: Nnamdi Kanu's agitation is about a referendum in the SS/SE area. Its got nothing to do with who is Igbo or who is Ikwerre. We conduct a referendum, those eho love Biafra will vote and leave, those who love Nigeria will vote and stay. |
