.[s]The Erelu was interviewed, the Obas own was on this Channels programme that had to do with entertainment
For example this is linked to the Oba
https://m.guardian.ng/sunday-magazine/lagos-oba-traces-origin-to-benin/
I would love to see a denial of this write up by the Obas Palace[/s]
That is a third person narrative of a columnist claiming to be writing the words of the said Erelu.

Where is the video? This is the 21 century — the age of videos, cameras, mobile phones, internet, YouTube, etc.

Anyways, Oba Akiolu is a greater authority than the said Erelu. Yes! cheesy

asides hatred and envy for yorubas ur people are empty most of d history you dish out is an attempt for ethnic superiority and that is why we are always here on full defense
It’s actually an attempt to compensate for their minority complex syndrome — one of the many strains of inferiority complex.

It takes a special kind of inferiority complex for grown-ups (Binis) to claim that their oba owned Japan. Yes Japan. They said it. I am not kidding.

@KingOKON, here is a map from your brother which (according to him) supports my reply that Binis lived in Lagos.

I can also provide an actual evidence to also prove that Binis live in Italy.

.Since you claimed he denied it, where did you get that denial from...
It’s found in your video which you noted is a a supporting evidence for your claim.

Why did the Erelu tow same line?
I never brought up any Erelu, you did. grin

I only asked you to substantiate your claim by providing any video that supports your claim, rather than a random writing of a columnist.

Do you claim the Benins were NEVER in Lagos
Of course they were. They are even in Italy right now.

oba akiolu is from the lineage of ologun kutere an ijesha priest
Even Oba Ado who is related to a certain Benin oba is NOT patrilineally descended from the said oba.

And Ashipa (who is Ado’s father) is a Yoruba from Isheri -Olofin in Lagos.

This is the earliest documented account of the history of Lagos per British records from 1878, 1914, and 1929.

Chief Egharevba twisted the narrative on its head in the 1950s and published a new version for Benin people.

No, he didn’t.

He actually stated the opposite — that Lagos does NOT belong to Benin.

He made the statement while replying an interviewer on the relationship between Lagos and Benin.

Erelu Donsumu Abiola confirmed Lagos is Benind
Please provide me such video, not a random writing of a columnist.

Anyways, Oba Akiolu naturally ranks higher than her as an authority.

And he already debunked such assumptions. So ...

But Ogbeni TAO12 probably of Ijebu stock, claims otherwise.
Well “probably” as used here means that you have zero clue what you’re about to say, but you would say it still.

You could have chosen silence and present yourself as less dumb than you actually are.

The Aworis resided in Isale Eko and paid tributaries to the Oba of Benin
The Erelu Donsumu will tell you that too
“Aworis ... paid tributaries to the Oba of Benin.”

Meaning that Aworis (not Binis) are the monarchs of Isle-Eko?

Thanks. If you don't talk, they will continue to write 21 century history books. I have signed off.
No, you should talk actually. And I do talk.

But to avoid been burnt out, you may choose to make them debunk themselves by asking for evidence. They become stuck at that point or produce nonsense as evidence.

You may also be very nice by digging out evidence to debunk them by yourself if you have the luxury of time.

Apongbon is a later name of that small area. That area is called Olowogbowo. Several decades ago, the picture of the man with big or well trimmed bushy beards (Irugbon ) after whom Apongbon was named used to be hung on a building there.

You can visit this link about Olowogbo to get the meaning of Apongbon : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olowogbowo

Idu is a station or terminus . Idumagbo, Idumota. You can Mallams or other people.
When people make claims, it is not your duty to dig evidence to disprove them — even though you may choose to.

You may leave them to disprove themselves as it is their duty to attempt to prove their own claim, otherwise they have zero case.

This is a very efficient approach of dealing with chronic liars such as Benin miscreants.

There is no such video where he said Benins are the owners of Lagos.

You explained your Eko, Oyingbo fables now you asking me " burden of prove", why didn't you ask for Eko and oyingbo?
I didn’t explain nothing to you, child.

@babaolofin did, but he didn’t have to explain anything at all to start with — because you made the claim.

Here is your claim in your own words: Idumagbo, oyingbo , Eko, apongbon are relics of ancient Benin in lagos

Now substantiate your claim with evidence because he who makes a claim bears the burden of proof. cheesy

Lies!

Please bring forward a video of such pRoNoUnCeMeNt, not some clownish writings of a Bini columnist.

The only definitive statement I have ever heard Oba Akiolu made in video is to the following effect:

Lagos does NOT belong to Benin kingdom.

No where did he ever assert that “Eko”, et al. were named by Benin.

Neither did he ever assert that the Eko royalty has a paternal/patrilineal Benin ancestry.

If you can’t stand your lies being debunked, then you have good reasons never to be a liar.

He’s only testing the waters to see how far he can go with his latest attempt at self-consolation.

To be very apt, he’s only being insecure. It’s written all over his life. The name “Edo” of his people wasn’t known in writing until recently.

Yet you want him to admit the plain fact starring hard at his face showing that “Yoruba” appears in writing since the year 1615. grin

A Bini boy with a naturally huge baggage of inferiority complex for that matter. cheesy We’re clearly asking him for too much. grin

I think he broke what may be called the first rule of academics: “Thou shall not punch beyond your ‘intellectual’ weight”. grin

May be he’d learn to eventually resort to his first self-consolation — which is, to let the “the Arabs around ... [him]” do their job. grin

I repeat, the word or name, Yoruba didn't exist until 1808.

No! Unlike Binis, everyone else isn’t a dullard. grin You desperately wish the word “Yoruba” began in 1808. Don’t you? grin But what about the fact that wishes aren’t horses?? LMAO! cheesy

You typed in "Yoruba" into Google translate, and Google translate immediately disclaimed to you that the Arabic equivalence within its database is of the word "Alyuruba".

Yet you adamantly ran along (lying to yourself) that Google translate returned an Arabic equivalence of the word "Yoruba". If only Google translate could slap humans. grin

In the embedded screenshot below, the input ["Yoruba"] which you fed into Google translate is highlighted in green.
