A shame that this dunce is still here despite being exposed on so many threads.

Bros! There is no part of Lagos that belongs to Benin ( the permission to set up a post in a tiny area around the Island was given by a Yoruba king). The Binis know, the Igbos know, everybody knows!

Igbos only think the only way to get back at Yorubas for keeping them in their place in Lagos is by steering up the Benin controversy every time but they will eventually see the opposite of what they plan to achieve with that; an average Yoruba is now more interested in the politics of Lagos now than ever. What they should rather plan to do is to simply come and carry Lagos through all the South Western states and plant it in other region.

Ibadan was created in 1829, hundreds of years after Lagos was already mentioned in maps (as being a part of Benin). You basically don't know a thing about history, all you do is propagate fairytales which you confuse with history.

saddler:
You seem to be manufacturing all these lies from your head.

The royalties Benin was collecting wasn't any sales tax.

Provide proofs to this your assertion or remain silent.

christistruth01:
Excellent

Because those ones don't own anything in Lagos except land they leased from the Yorubas

Even the State Governor goes to Yorubas for land

christistruth01:
I am not wasting time on you anymore
1829 was when the Oyos who now controlled it settled Ibadan

christistruth01:
So you don't even consider the Yoruba Awori and Ijebu among the Owners of Lagos

No wonder they chased your fathers out of Port Harcourt and Calabar


When you want to buy Land in Lagos please make sure you pay for it in the Oba of Benin's Palace so your money can disappear and don't bother the Yorubas afterwards
We are not interested

Bye

Tflex01:
Chinedu, go and recruit strong men from Oba of Benin's palace and come and carry Lagos and after carrying Lagos, pass through Ogun state, part of Oyo state and Ondo state, then plant it in one of the four Local Governments in Benin.

Congratulations, you have now achieved your aim, Lagos no longer belong to the Yorubas or South West. 🎉 🎉 🎉

christistruth01:
Why don't you just admit you don't have a clue about Yoruba History
Ibadan was founded in the 16 th Century by Lagelu

Thank you and bye

christistruth01:
By the Way the place the Awori refugees camped in Ibadan during the War with Benin was called Ekotedo
It was Lagelu of Ibadan who was also the Jagun of Oyo that Alaafin sent to help Olofin defeat Benin in Lagos

Benin Suffered devastating defeat

We don't care what you think!!

When you want to buy land in Lagos go and pay for it in Benin if you believe Benin owns Lagos
Bye!!

christistruth01:
We don’t care what you think!!!!


Even the History of how Benin Got to Lagos you don’t know!!!!

Lagos was under Oyo

It was Oyo that asked Awori to grant Benin small trading Post at Isale Eko On Lagos Island
as a brother Oduduwa Kingdom

That is why Benin doesn’t own any Lagos Land!!

Eyewitness writen precolonial text stating clearly that Lagos belongs to Benin:

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the Yebous have seazed that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

I am not interested in debating things which have already been proven. Also I am not interested in talking to people whom have been harrassing me. (I also want to add that I am actually the only person whom has commented here who actually speaks french and that I am the person who posted the french caption and the book from which it is to nairaland. Some delusional people who don't speak a word of frecnh were trying to "debate" me on the translation of the text several months ago. Fools can only fool other fools.)

christistruth01:
I absolutely don’t care what you think

Benin has no Land in Lagos

christistruth01:
The.Map is in the Archives go find it

christistruth01:

You don’t know the History of Lagos

Ebute Meta in Lagos was a Port of the Oyo Empire

Awori were under Alaafin of Oyos Protection

The Warri Kingdom flag of War, lastly used by Olu Erejuwa I (1760-1795), which was taken by the British from Ologbo community, Warri Kingdom, is no longer on display.

The flag is currently in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.

It can also be found digitally in the Royal Museum Greenwich with the ID: AAA0557, and the name: "west African flag."

The flag, which is falsely being claimed by Benin's as the flag of their so-called empire, is a laughable statement.

In a tweet by Lord_of_Warri on 𝕏 (Twitter). The itsekiri people have threaten a lawsuit against the Benin kingdom and Royal British maritime museum in Greenwich if the flag is falsely claimed by Benin’s as theirs when it is very evident the flag belongs to itsekiri’s. Read Tweet below.

If, for any reason, this flag is sent to Benin as theirs, we, the Itsekiri Historical Front, will sue the British government and the Benin kingdom to hand it over back to Warri Kingdom.

This practice is rather strangely curious!



An ADC on the one hand and a traditional ruler (king) on the other hand.



Chai!



Traditional rulership has really been bastardized in Nigeria.



Imagine the Oni of Ife or the Oba of Benin being a "boy-boy" to someone else.



It's a taboo!



As they say in local parlance, "he carry elephant for head, dey take leg dig for cricket".



Odiegwu o!
