Etinosa1234:Sleep?? Are you sure you haven’t murdered sleep? The First pic belowLagos paid tributes to Benin for 200+ years after the death of ashipa till the ouster of Oba KosokoThank you for providing your best evidence which still confirms the very points I made, namely that: (1) The Yoruba dynasty of Eko simply used your Oba [for its need to assert independence] and then eventually dumped Benin’s ass. The agreed thank you hand outs to Benin was unilaterally discontinued despite the continued existence of the Eleko dynasty which your Oba backed Ashipa on when Ashipa needed him. Yes, it was a clear case of use and dump! (2) Your screenshots evidence also shows that your insinuation of a conquest-based payment, or a paternal-based payment can only be found in your hallucinations rather than in those screenshots you attached. Now also, evidence that Benin had influence over the political class is noted in this letter from Akitoye to the BritishFirst of all, I must point out your u-turn from your initial phrase of (”overall influence”) and now to your fresh phrase of simply (“influence”). There is a huge gap. You probably noticed that you were losing out fast and badly. But one may wonder what actually the Benin influence in Lagos island is?? The Lagos account (which you can’t possibly challenge with any earlier source) states what this influence is. The Lagos account notes that Ashipa (the Yoruba man who is the progenitor of the Eko dynasty) was bound to the Benin monarchy “by ties of gratitude”. In other words, as a result of the success of backing Ashipa in asserting a monarchy (independent of Iddo), the Benin government earned Ashipa‘s (and his successors’) unwavering loyalty. Benin kings thus became the patron of the successive Elekos — earning remittances as well as the honor of officially recognizing successive Elekos. This is the influence — a patron-protege relationship — and it clearly has nothing to do with a non-existent conquest nor a non-existent blood connection to Ashipa. Also after Akitoye, Beecroft recognised the authority of the Benin in Lagos when he wrote a letter to the king of Benin that kosoko had declared war on English by opening Fire on them.Again, if there is any such letter, it still doesn’t prove your pleading. Your pleading which you should be defending is that the (defunct) loyalty to the Benin government was due to (i) some conquest or (ii) some blood connection to Ashipa. So, far you have provided zero evidence to substantiate any of these positions. The most that your letters have shown (and which your subsequent letters will show) is the presence of some loyalty to the Benin government by the Lagos island dynasty. Nothing is said (and will be said) about the basis or root of the loyalty in all your LeTtErS — provided they are not from Egharevba though. Hahaha! However, the earliest available primary evidence on this specific subject states clearly what the actual basis or root of the (defunct) loyalty to the Benin government was. It states that the Lagos monarchy [the protege] was bound to the Benin monarchy [the patron] “by ties of gratitude”. I'm chanced, I'm Going to dig deeper into ur lagos lies ...Wonderful! This great news! From the references it can be shown that there are letters written that debunks ur lie that it was not paid or rather irregularly paid after 1830The bolded here is another evidence of your chronic hallucination. Or could it be that you’re simply generalizing that every human being must be a dullard based on your experience with Binis?? LMAO! I made it clear that your Benin monarchy did receive payments (for its backing), but then stopped receiving nothing eventually while the Lagos dynasty still continues to exist. My specific words are highlighted here showing how I stated clearly that Benin received “no further dime”. You are clearly desperate to win any argument. But you still loose all. I'll be getting those letters or closer references to those letters soonPlease do, I’d be needing them for a thread I’m preparing. Get to work! ....Till then enjoy ur little liesYou need this self-consolation and self-solve so badly. Don’t you?? —————————— IN SUMMATION: (1) Your first attachment shows three highlights, as follows: (A) The first highlight containing a statement along the lines that the Lagos dynasty came from an outside influence. This statement written from your 1975 attachment may actually be interpreted along two equally plausible lines: (i) That Benin was simply instrumental in the founding of the Yoruba dynasty of Eko. [This interpretation would be in line with the extant Lagos account]. (ii) Or that the first Eleko, Ashipa, is a Benin prince. [This interpretation would be in line with Egharevba’s later-day claims]. Regardless of what is actually meant here, it must be borne in mind that the earliest source for the 2nd interpretation is Chief Egharevba in the 1950s. In contrast, the earliest primary source for the 1st is the British colonial records of Lagos history collected and first published in the 1800s. (B) The second highlight showing statements along the following lines: (i) A statement to the effect that the body of late Elekos used to be taken to Benin for burial after the head has been removed. As noted in my foregoing comment above, the clause about the head clarifies the maternal connection of Ado (the first authoritative/official Eleko) to Benin. The body being taken to the mother’s land (i.e. Benin), after the head has been removed for the father’s land (Lagos). This custom at once resonates with a similar custom between Benin and IFE where the body of late Benin kings is for the mother’s land (Benin), while the head is for the father’s land (IFE ). This appears to corroborate the Yoruba saying that “Ori ade kii sun ita” — “The crowned head is not entombed abroad”. (ii) The other clarification-worthy statements under this second highlight is on tribute and official recognition. This has been abundantly clarified above within this same comment where I stated (and I quote here again) that: “The Lagos account [which you have nothing earlier than and contrary to] notes that Ashipa (the Yoruba man who is the progenitor of the Eko dynasty) was bound to the Benin monarchy “by ties of gratitude”. In other words, as a result of the success of backing Ashipa in asserting a monarchy (independent of Iddo), the Benin government earned Ashipa‘s (and his successors’) unwavering loyalty. Benin kings thus became the patron of the successive Elekos — earning remittances as well as the honor of officially recognizing successive Elekos.” (C) The third highlight showing a statement along the lines of a conquest of Lagos by Benin: First of all, it must be made clear that the header of your first attachment here is simply the title of the book (“The Lagos Consulate 1851 — 1861”). The book itself is a 1979 work. The dates (1851 — 1861) here should therefore not be erroneously assumed to mean that we are looking at a document from 1851 — 1861. No. I suspect that this is your cunning intention here. Secondly, the primary source which this statement (about conquest) goes to can not possibly be earlier than the later-day Benin claims of Chief Egharevba. As I have demonstrated again and again, the earliest primary source which says a thing about how the Binis came to settle-in into Lagos states that: They Binis settled-in into Lagos peacefully after their requested permission to land had been granted by the natives. (2) Your second attachment is a primary evidence — a letter of Oba Akitoye from circa 1850. But this letter simply shows one thing and one thing only — that there exist a strong loyalty to the Benin government by the Lagos dynasty. The specific form of the loyalty noted in this letter is about the Benin kings’ (now defunct) privilege and honor of officially recognizing a chosen Eleko. No where does this letter say that Lagos was colonized by Benin kingdom. No where does this letter say that Ashipa (the progenitor of the Eko dynasty) is a Benin. No where does this letter say a thing about the nature, root, or basis of the loyalty to Benin. The only source which touches on these specific points are the records of the British colonial authorities from I878, 1914, and 1929 — and they consistently state that: Ashipa the progenitor of the Eko dynasty is a Yoruba man; and the loyalty to Benin was on the basis of gratitude having been backed by a Benin king in the course of his desire to assert an independence monarchy from that of Iddo.

Christistruth00:The settling of the Ikoyis into Lagos is an entirely different event with an entirely different historical timeline altogether. The document is clearly talking about "Ijaws". The word used by the author for "Oyo" is a different word entirely. Since you have the document I will proceed to quote it here retaining the original words used by the same author so you can compare. The author writes on page 25 as follows: "The Yéboû* [Ijebu] country is, roughly speaking, located between Dahomé [Dahomey] on the west, Bénin [Benin] on the east, the Gulf of Guinea in the south, and the Èyo* [Oyo] country in the north. These limits can be identified along the shore." Notice the word used by the author for "Oyo" -- Èyo. The author writes the following on page 26: "Koráme [Lagos island] and its mainland were linked in the past by a sandspit between the great lagoon and the sea. The Yéboû people have, however, for a log time seized that sandspit which has also been infiltrated by Ouyó pirates in the east." Two points to note from this particular quotation are as follows: (1) The word used by the author for "Oyo" -- i.e. "Eyo" -- is not the same word used by the same author for the pirates, that is; "Ouyo". We are therefore dealing with a different group now. (2) The erstwhile sandspit which linked Korame and the mainland is the same location seized and infiltrated by the Ijebu and the "Ouyo" respectively. (3) This erstwhile sandpit which linked Korame and the mainland can not possibly be on the eastern side of Korame since the mainland is to the west of Korame. The area infiltrated by the Ouyôs (that is, the erstwhile sandspit) is thus to the west of Korame and not to the east of Korame. (4) The mention of "east" in the quotation is not in respect of the area infiltrated by the Ouyós; rather, "east' in the quotation relates to the homeland of the Ouyós. Yes, the Ijaws' homeland is to the east of both Korame and Lagos as a whole. Finally, the author had noted on page 21 about the Ouyôs' infiltration of another area -- this time the outskirts of Uwheru town. This information as shown below clarifies without any doubt who these Ouyôs are. The author writes: "These were most often navigations, the most extensive of which reached Gatô [Ughoton] in the east, from where one disembarks to go to the capital of Benin (Ebinî, where he [Osifekunde] lived for for three consecutive months at the age of twelve). To the south-east, the town of Owêr [Uwheru], the outskirts of which are infested by Ouyô pirates (the same ones that Landolphe calls Jos, and that David de Nyendaal had made known under the name of Usa corsairs)." From all the foregoing explanation, it becomes clear that while "Eyo = Oyo"; "Ouyo ≠ Oyo". Instead, "Ouyo = Ijaw". Q. E. D. 9 Likes 5 Shares |

Etinosa1234: Eko is the way the Yoruba Ijebu pronounced Ereko after Ereko Market on the Island where King Kosoko's European and Slave Markets were located and where he traded with the Ijebu who sold him slaves from the hinterland Eko (ereko) means field in Yoruba and Ereko ile is used to describe an Island Ereko Market is still on Lagos Island today! There is Eko Ende (Field of Ende) and Eko Ajala ( Ajala's field) Towns in Osun State . Eko Ende was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878 against the Ilorins 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. . 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 Awori that Migrated from Ile Ife and are the Children of Olofin Ogunfunminire 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.

Etinosa1234: Guys, you are very correct, I wonder what she gets from all the lies and spins she put on these history. She must really think she can wake up and rewrite history that have already been made and documented. She picks up a piece of history write her own interpretation to it as it suits her, then get skewed revisionist references to back up her lies. Even when you counter her with a superior evidence, she simply turns around and claim your evidence supports her position. On a more serious note, what will she do with life if the Benins seize or stop debating her, you guys may actually be saving a life here unknowingly. Imagine her claiming her version of oral history is more correct than that of Oba of Benin, Awujale of Ijebu, Oba of Lagos, Olugbo, Ooni of Ife, etc. Her delusion is on a higher scale. It seems Edo/Benin history gives her life purpose. I think gregyboy and AreaFather are very right about her. If one is not careful, you get drawn into the endless circles of disproving her lies. She sees herself as internet warrior defending the pride and culture of Yoruba with lies. The Irony is her Ilorin is still under Fulani rulers and will probably remain so for eternity. More than half of her Yoruba people have the Sultan of Sokoto as their spiritual head. So much for Yoruba, Ooni and Ife pride.

Oba of Benin can not even Swim neither could his men rescue their King, meanwhile Aromire son of Olofin Ogunfunmire swam all the way to Lagos Island the first time he set his eyes on it. Aromire means lover of water. That was how he was the first to claim the Island till today it is still his descendants inheritance. If the Benin had not been brought to Lagos by Portugese Ships they may have never set eyes on the place. Warfare on Water was beyond the Bini unless perhaps it was the Portuguese doing the fighting for them. The question should be asked if the Benin were notoriously bad boat men how were they supposed to fight war on water inside Canoes which the Awori, Ijebu and Ilaje were experts at doing? 1 Like |

Regarding the part of Oba Akiolu’s interview (which the Binis have clung to as a source of hope, at the expense of his disclaimers); the statement here (on a closer and more careful consideration) does not actually say what it has been assumed all along to have said. The Oba’s specific statement in question at timestamp 5:00 of the official video (or timestamp 0:12 of the Binis edited video) says and I quote here as follows: “The first ‘Oba’ of Lagos is a male descendant of Oba of Benin”. To examine this statement closely and strictly as you would want us to, this specific statement does not necessarily refer to Ashipa as it has been assumed all along. It could plausibly be in respect of Ado his son. (1) It is not uncommon that both Ado and Ashipa are often equivocally at different times regarded as the first king — just as it is not uncommon with Oranmiyan and Eweka among the Binis. At an instant in the traditional narratives, Oranmiyan and Ashipa are each simply regarded as progenitor and not Oba. In the same breath, at other instants in the traditional narratives, each is both progenitor as well as Oba. (2) Furthermore, the phrase Oba Akiolu used, viz. “male descendant” actually has nothing to do with what we’ve assumed it to mean all along. The phrase is not the same thing as “patrilineal descendant”. “Male descendant” simply recognizes the child to be a descended son from an ancestor — the ancestor being a Benin Oba in this case. Nothing is said about the son’s mother or father. The descent from the Benin Oba could have been through his own mother or through his own father, in either case of which he is still a “male descendant” of the Benin Oba. In the light of this closer examination and scrutiny, it becomes obvious that Oba Akiolu’s reference in his own specific statement here is to Ado the son of both Ashipa (the Yoruba progenitor of the Eleko dynasty) and his Bini queen. Having exposed the foregoing, it now becomes more obvious why Oba Akiolu could have issued a disclaimer (at timestamp 5:45 of the official version of the interview — embedded below with Channels TV logo) declaring that Lagos does not belong to Benin Kingdom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOsp9VLRFno In order to hide this particular disclaimer issued by the Oba, the Binis went through the stress of downloading this original video from Channels TV's YouTube page and editing out the parts containing the disclaimer. They then proceeded to upload their edited version to a private YouTube account from where they’ve copied the YouTube link and pasted to Nairaland to further promote their business of deception. Lol. Notice the Channels TV logo on the official and original version from Channels TV YouTube page which I posted above. Compare that to the Rubik's cube logo on their own edited version (from their private account) as shown below. The Benin fraud didn’t begin today, and it’s probably not ending anytime soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvaiC_djW8o ———————— For references to the Lagos account, see the following: (1) Rev. J. B. Wood, Historical Notices of Lagos, West Africa, 1878. (2) Rev. J. B. Losi, History of Lagos, 1914. (3) and Sir Alan Burns, History of Nigeria, 1929.

Etinosa1234: Oba of Lagos: who is your ancestors and royal father? Answer: Oba of Benin. Oba of Lagos: to whom do you and your chiefs pay homage and salute at enuwa during the installation of any chief? Answer: Oba of Benin. Nearly 500 years since Benin first step into Lagos, Oba of Benin is still regarded as the royal father of all Lagos Obas by the Oba of Lagos himself. Even the Sultan of Sokoto will be jealous. Even if Lagos stop to recognise the supremacy of the Oba of Benin today, it will take the Sultan whose Fulani conquered Ilorin less that 200 years ago another 300 years to catch up with the Oba of Benin. As long as successive Oba of Lagos continues to recognise oba of Benin as their royal father, Sultan will continue to be 300 years behind with such respect from Yoruba Ilorin. The Benin should be very satisfied with this. Do you guys know that the Benin Palace still plays active role in the installations of Lagos obas. The current Oba of Lagos revealed this during the second coronation anniversary of the Oba of Benin. He thanked chief engineer Greg Ero and other Benin Palace chiefs who the Oba of Benin sent to train him in his new traditional role. Anyone interested should checkout the speech on YouTube. Those familiar with Benin tradition should know the sort of traditional training and rites all Palace chiefs and Inigies have to go through before installation. 2 Likes |

(1) Oba Akiolu named ALAAFIN of OYO his Royal FATHER! So, what does this prove in the logic of the Bini dullard above me ?? ———————— (2) Samuk-The-Fraud, no where throughout his speech did he even slightly suggest that delegates were sent to Lagos from Benin to train him, you fraud! Instead, the actual context of his statement says: He doesn’t pamper or tolerate “area boys”, and that that is based on his received training particularly from: S. O. U. Igbe (the present Iyase of Benin) and from Parry Osayande — each of whom are Retired Police Commisioner and Retired Police DIG respectively. For a fuller context, Oba Akiolu himself is a Retired Police AIG. And he never mentioned any Engineer Greg Ero. In the light of all these background, the training he refers to becomes apparent — his disciplinarian public training as a police officer which he still puts to practice even as a King. In sum, no where throughout his speech did he even slightly suggest that delegates were sent to Lagos from the Benin palace to train him. Samuk, did they use lie and swear for you?
