Debunk what i Said.
Before 1930, there were no known Oba in Yoruba land.

Their traditional rulers were called Ooni, Alafin and the rest.

The only traditional ruler with the Oba title was the Oba of Benin.

The "Oba" title is a shortened form of his full title

sotall:
Bring more revisionism...this one you uploaded aint enough.

sotall:
No historical what?

The word Oba is as old as Edo language itself.

Its even used in daily salutations.

The Obas in Yoruba land are a very recent thing.

Before 1930, there was no known Oba in Yoruba land.

We know Ooni of Ife, we know Alafin of Oyo and other titles but no Oba.

But the Oba of Benin have been using that title for hundreds of years even before the white men came.

You stupid idiot, Reuben abati and Rufai talked about you fools in the news yesterday, seems you idiots are hell bent on revising history, but it has failed... Benin empire controlling Lagos is a known fact, it is in recent history. The Benin empire collected taxes in Lagos, even Aworis who are Benin ancestrally paid royalties to Benin king. You ignorant kid, better learn, instead of using childish logic, go and use this dumb logic on your dumb heads.

You are most likely not even a lagosian but one of the poverty stricken people of southwest who don't count.

Intelligent readers, read the interview by Erelu Dosunmu, in vanguard newspaper, letting the world know Benin empire created Lagos.

IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT LAGOS IS NOT YORUBA LAND.


THE MAIN PORT USED BY YORUBA SLAVE TRADERS WAS IN BENIN REPUBLIC.


OBA OF BENIN DISCOVERED LAGOS.

EVIDENCE IS IN THE WORD IDU MOTA.


OBA OF BENIN IS ON RECORD AS TRAVELLING BY RIVER AND THE PROXIMITY TO LAGOS IS VERY NEAR.


HE WAS SLAVE TRADING ON THAT COAST DURING THE SAID PERIOD OF 15TH CENTURY.

Pakute:
SE Governors collect federal allocations, security votes, some collect 13% oil derivation, yet nothing to show for it, instead, there has been a ridiculous increase in the rate of migration out of the region yearly. Who bears the burden of this migration? of course the welcoming hosts. These hosts across the Southwestern and Northern region are heavily overburdened with migrant population every year. With the exception of Lagos and SS states, everyother states collect almost an equal amount of allocation. The SW and Northern Governors cater to too much population in their respective states than the SE Governors who do nothing but to divert monies into their private pockets while their little population are being neglected. With a little population and a large expanse of empty and ungoverned areas and a large number of empty and unoccupied buildings scattered across the SE, it is safe to say these economic burdens are being transferred to the Governors of others regions. These Governors need to be compensated

HE DID NOT LIE.


EVEN THE OBA OF LAGOS LONG CONFIRM IT.



THIS WAS WAY BACK IN THE 15TH CENTURY, WHEN OBA OF EBNIN WAS MOVING BY RIVER ACROSS THE SW AND SS.

You are a fool, he as an Awori traced his ancestry to Benin.

You idiots are kids, no one is saying Benin own Lagos now, but we are saying when Benin founded Lagos, you aboriginal yorubas were in villages picking cocoa, this is about 600 years ago and earlier. Are you an idiot or you just want to sound stupid?

Are you saying this is the first time you heard Benin collected taxes in Lagos and controlled it, before the British took over?

If you collect taxes and controlled a place in it's formative years, what does it mean?

It's recent history, fool.

My source is from the Encyclopedia Britanica. What is yours?

Patriotsleague:
You sound like a fool, Oba Akiolu said the same thing Oba of Benin said, Benin empire established Lagos, and ile'ife.

Where are the name-calling? Yes, what Bini King said about Lagos is true. I don't like sugarcoating

Wutinky:
Typical of Afon..jer, what can not be proven? It's an open secret

ShoeGetSize:
Benin dominated Lagos for nearly 300 years. That is longer than the period of Fulani dominion over Ilorin and you're still insisting that 3 centuries of political dominion was not enough to make Lagos a colony of Benin before the British took over from King Akintoye in the mid 19th century?
