Do I need to school you about Bini expedition? How Oba of Bini sent his warriors to Lagos because of constant disputes between the Aworis and Bini traders? Go and read many history books on how Bini invaded and established Obaship in Lagos. Just because Aworis were blocking his access and control of trading activities in Lagos.

That's Nigeria alone. Nigerian pidgin English is widely spoken across many West African counties and Cameroon. And you're very right, those stats need to be challenged.

Dahomey also paid isakole to Oyo empire. That doesn't mean Oyo founded Dahomey.
Nobody is disputing that at some point Bini invaded Ereko and overpowered the Aworis.
Eleko of Eko (Oba of Lagos) throne was established by Bini, but Bini never founded Lagos.
Just like Ile-Ife people, led by Prince Oranmiyan, invaded Igodomigodo, renamed it Ile-Ibinu (now Bini) and established Obaship dynasty there till today.

Stressing that Oba Ewuare II’s claims are historically not correct, he added, “I read G.A. Akinola’s ‘The Origin of the Eweka Dynasty of Benin: A Study in the Use and Abuse of Oral Traditions (1976)’. In April 1973, the researcher was in the palace of the Oba of Benin, Akenzua II, on an interview appointment but the Oba changed his mind when he arrived. The Oba refused to speak with the man while he ‘wondered why a Yoruba should be interested in Benin history.’


“The researcher reported that his session with the king ended ‘with the Oba and his courtiers reminiscing about how Eko (that is Lagos) belongs to Benin by right of conquest long ago.’ I see a divergence here between the position of the current Oba of Benin and that of his ancestor, Akenzua II. The ancestor claimed Lagos as a war booty; the incumbent claims Lagos as a creation of his ancestors.”

“So, how could the ancestors of the Oba of Benin have been the ones who brought into existence a settlement that they waged war against in 1603 but which received the Portuguese explorer, Rui de Sequeira, in 1472?” Olagunju wondered.

Smh

Sadly, it's been one lie after another further diminishing the Binis in the eyes of many.

From the bursting of the Bini lie that the Oba of Benin never leaves the palace , internet era came and exposed the blatant lie. But for the expose by the internet, they would still continue with the lie whereas they knew it was a lie.

Next was the lie that their Oba did not originate from Ile Ife and heads of past Oba of Benin were not buried in Ile Ife. The Yoruba elders and forebears were so very clever to preserve the history and location where the heads of past Oba of Benin were buried in Ile-Ife till date. It's called Orun Oba Ado.

The 3rd lie is the attempt to claim a land, small part of Yorubaland on the fringe, that does not belong to them not knowing that the Yoruba documented it well.

So will you packs of lies will continue to crumble.

Pride goeth before a fall.

That was in the past. It's now behind the Yoruba

I mentioned names of about 5 communities that still exist till today, yet you're still pretending.
If you say Eko means war camp or arsenal in bini language, howcome there's no single Eko in Bini city or anywhere again in Bini territory? Only a fool will believe that Bini, in 15th/16th century went about 400km away to establish war camp in an area already surrounded by many existing communities like Ijebus, Ilajes, Oyos, Dahomy etc.

⚡Biden says "it's a bunch of lies" that he interacted with his son Hunter's foreign business associates and ends the press conference

Raf4:
Bini didn't name anywhere Eko. Eko is shortened form of Ereko.
B4 Bini invasion, there were settlements/communities like Isheri, Iddo, Ebute-Meta, Ebute-Ero, Ereko (that eventually becomes Eko)

You see any
Wetin be the work of gigolo/fuckboy/toyboy

Boyooosa:
Did ancestral Binis meet anyone in the land when they went there, before naming it Eko?

Boyooosa:
“War historians will describe what happened as seizure by conquest. That is a relationship that does not align with Oba of Benin’s claim of founding Lagos and of Benin being its source. You don’t wage a war against non-existent people. The fact of Lagos’s existence provoked the attack and subjugation from Benin forces.

This is logical and reasonable...thank God civilization did not allow portugal and UK to lay claims on Nigeria's ownership/foundation🤔🤕

⚡Ukrainian artillery killed 25 of their own fighters who tried to surrender to Russian troops in the Donetsk region, the deputy commander of the 1st infantry battalion of the 110th regiment told Sputnik.

"Enemy soldiers made contact with us through radio frequency 149.200, expressing a desire to surrender... We established contact and provided them with a specific location at which they could surrender. Apparently, the Kiev regime perceived this act as detrimental and proceeded to eliminate their own servicemen," he stated.
