History of Lagos State


Prior to the Portuguese name of Lagos being adopted, Lagos was originally called Eko, which stems from either Oko (Yoruba: "cassava farm" or Eko ("war camp", by its Bini conquerors. History has it that the Oba of Bini sent various trade expeditions to Ghana where spices were traded and one of his traders complained about the way she was being treated by the Awori's. The Oba of Bini then sent a trade expedition by sea. Ironically, the leader of the expedition arrived in the evening at a time when the people who were predominantly fishermen were either wading into the water or getting into their boats to gather their catch. He declined to engage them further and returned to what is now called Benin City where he reported to the Oba of Bini that they were attacked. This prompted the Oba of Bini to constitute a war expedition led by Ado, a Bini Prince to go to Lagos and demand an explanation. This was over 650 years ago. However, on getting there, they were well received. The people were so enamored with Ado they asked him to stay and lead them. He agreed on the condition that they surrendered their sovereignty to the Oba of Bini to which they agreed. The Oba of Bini was told this and he gave his permission for the expedition to remain. The Oba of Bini later sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist Ado in the running of Eko. Till today, the Oba of Lagos is the head of all the Kings in Lagos State and his status is different from other Oba's most of whom were later given back their crowns and staff of office only within the last 40 years and have various classifications. Suffice it to state that those who got their crowns back were the original land owners. These were Olofin's children. Moreover, modern day Lagosians have so intermingled that no single tribe or people can claim it even though the predominant language is Yoruba. The present day Lagos state has a higher percent of this sub-group who allegedly migrated to the area from Isheri along the Ogun river.
 

History has it that the Awori were actually from Ife the cradle of Yorubaland. The Awori people are a peaceful people initially not taken to warfare. Due to war, those from the hinterlands, like the Ekiti ran towards Isheri which at that time had more than one Olofin (Alafin)who were heads of probably respective settlements about 1400AD. With the fleeing people from the hinterlands most of them scattered again to different places, some to Iro, to Otta, Ado, others to Ebute Metta i.e three landing places - Oyingbo, Iddo and Lagos Island (Eko). The Olofin that brought those who went to Ebute-Metta was Ogunfunminire later known as Agbodere. With the full commencement of the war about 2000 moved to the nearest island of Iddo, others to Otto Awori or Otto Ijanikin towards modern-day Badagry. Those from Ekiti Aramoko came to Ebute-Metta, Iddo and then Ijora. The Olofin was said to have 32 children. His own known children are Olumegbon, Aromire, Oloto, Oluwa, Oniru, Onisiwo, Onitoolo, and Elegushi. Ojora, Onikoyi and Mogiso were not his biological children. After the demise of Agbodere, the name Olofin became the name used to remember him while a title of Oloto was given to his seccessor. With one of his sons becoming the Oloto his other children parted ways to what is known as visible settlements in the present day Lagos. Aromire whose name means defeated the river or became the river's friend is likely to be the first to cross being said to have swam across the river. It is possible that his real name is not Aromire but due to the feat he became known as such.

Until the coming of the Bini's, Lagos's geographic boundary was what is known now as Lagos Mainland. Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing posts. No one lived there though. The name Eko was given to it by its first King Oba Ado during its early history, it also saw periods of rule by the Kingdom of Benin.[1] Eko was the land area now known as Lagos Island where the king's palace was built. The Palace is called Iga Idunganran which, translated means Palace built on the pepper farm. Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin as well as some of the indigenous people who sought safety settled down in the southern part of Eko called "Isale Eko", Isale literarily meaning bottom, but must have been used to indicate downtown (as in Downtown Lagos).

Lie lie! Funny people just creating funny links which make me remember an SMS I got directly from glo ( logo, number etc) confirmed as glo but getting to glo office they have to check vividly and alas it was not genuine.

Back2Bust:
the most annoying thing is that they can't go and crush boko haram but prefer touring round the world and telling fools to bomb south south.

Do you know how many biko haram that have been killed? They are in thousands not to talk of innocent people that were killed, if massob or Niger Delta militants were killed in large numbers like that the region will be empty by now as most of the people there would have fled to Cameroon by now.

Back2Bust:
Buhari and co have been holding security meetings not on how to crush boko haram but how to bomb the south south and east.

lies taking too far.

Back2Bust:
boko haram have been killing scores of people but the Nigerian air force didn't bomb them

"On the orders of the Chief of Air
Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola
Amosu, the creeks of Calabar
were bombed yesterday, Daily
Trust gathered."

it seems they want to start another civil war. the boko haram boys are too precious for their baba to kill but he knows how to hold security meeting and ask them to bomb the creeks. what they are looking for the will get it both the north and south west. They have started the fire and it will burn them so much this time.

Rubbish!!! It's your region that will be totally destroyed if war breaks out. Posting poo!

Sariki,Altiku and their supporters aint masses friendly that's why they did what they did; the APC progressives were trying to get the right people who are capable of working along side Buhari in such a way that every region in Nigeria will benefit greatly, South East/South South would have benefited more but the Northern caucus which don't really like those regions highjacked those positions to counter the intended developmental plan so that it will be in their own interest. Saraki! N

Saraki! N

I support you if it ain't for personal reasons but wike should know that he will be probed for over 80 billion naira which can't be accounted for during his tenure as minister of education. Thiefwike.smh.

love that remix and the video was Naija best music video then.

Biafra1000:
Fool and animals are been celebrated in the zoo


Its no news that this criminal should be in jail now...


cc.Biafra

Thank God you have all played into the hands of the North as Tinubu and the true progressive were trying to make sure reputable people who have what it takes to make Nigeria better from every region are put in the right positions but Saraki, Atiku etc who are after their pockets and who are skimming against the east and south south have been allowed to occupy that position; I hope you people that are praising him won't later come and be shouting when you're regions are not being developed.

Dead news.

priiince:
southwest gradually taking over ritual crimes from south east

yes I must confess! The craze for quick riches have turned some people into being super evil; the south east started it but the south west where I come from have taken over from where the south east stopped, this is tragic!!! May God never let everyone that practice all this stupid believe rest in peace neither should they ever have peace of mind as evil most never rule the land. We all need to be security conscious and report any strange building, people or gathering to relevant authorities.

The lady now! As the probability of the guy to getting married is 10 times greater than that of the lady.

95% of them overrate themselves.

viczing:
You mean the Daura President?

He is opening Jonathan yansh.

Wike have not be able to account for over 80 billion Naira which disappered when he was minister of Education. Wike should be called to account for the huge amount as no one have been able to account for it till date.

People will talk if the pastor touched her with his hands that's why he used his foot.

Wike keep sacking them as I pray that all those who are praising you now will be able to do so in 12 months time. smh

klevjey:
ritualists claiming sophisticated

while cannibals are claiming they developed lagos not Yoruba's the real owners .

klevjey:
LAGOS BELONGS TO EVERYONE AND TO NO ONE.. it is a no man's land

Lagos is a Yoruba State but we all share to enjoy it.

midolian:
With this, Lagos no suppose need any support from FG sef

You're wicked

midolian:
With this, Lagos no suppose need any support from FG sef

You're wicked

Omit is prettier now! Even this is evident.

Wike yansh go open more.

The security agencies should opt their game so as to arrest this evil people before they can perpetuate evil. Let police send their intelligence officers into villages and every area that looks strange( lonely areas)

Fake talk; no one wants to angrily hit a fully grown up python with a spoon.

He would have bin 44yrs today if he had stayed away from drugs Abi?

And being a thug ain't worth it; guns don't kill people but people use gun's to kill people.

viczing:
A visit to the Daura President

A repented coup man

And a forever illiterate that still calls germany as west germany, bet he will still call Russia as ussr, anything can happen with the dullard

At lest he is more brilliant than the zoologist called Jonathan. :

Let thug wike present the authentic bank statements if he can! Wike is a rogue as he has not been able to account for over 80 billion naira during is tenure as minister, this was revealed by the minister that took over from him. River's people don enter one Chance. After 12 months in office, we should be able to rate wike's performance.

chukwudi44:
Tinubu don enter one chance!!! I see Lai Mohammed,oyegun and other Tinubu boys in the NWC been kicked out in the next few days

Funny people's wish ain't gonna come true as Tinubu is the back bone of APC and no person can kick him out of APC, people should stick to ethnic sentiments which their region is known for in their region as these same people destroyed every office they occupied eg. Aviation, Military, SGF,Power, finance etc; just to say a few. The day Tinubu leaves APC, that Marks the automatic/immediate death of APC.
