Lagos never belonged to Benin
It has always belonged to the Yorubas

Unless you mean it as in Benin once belonged to Ile Ife historically

Badagry and Seme were ruled by the Alaafin of Oyo and the Egbas of Abeokuta conquered and ruled all of Lagos except Lagos Island which they couldn't be bothered to take and the Ijebu areas of eastern Lagos yet I never heard your type mention a word about it

The Ijebus conquered Lagos Island and drove the remnants of the Benin into the Tiny enclave of Isale Eko as an act of Mercy instead of drowning them in the Lagoon since there was nowhere for then to escape to

If you consider all the above history irrelevant why are you keen to mention Benin?

Again in your life have you ever seen Oba of Benin dragging Lagos with the Yoruba

Do you think he doesn't know all the above history?

To round it all up Lagos is indigenous Yoruba Aworiland


Anyone who tries to tell you Lagos is not Yorubaland is a liar

Take it to the bank

You can continue to lie to yourself..
Historically, Lagos was Benin territory. You can never change history.

christistruth01:
In your entire life have you ever seen Oba of Benin dragging Lagos with the Yorubas ?

Do you think he doesn't know his Domain?

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland

In your entire life have you seen the monarchy of England dragging Nigeria with Nigerians? They know their Domain now.

Point is, Lagos once belonged to Benin.

ralphorb:
Debunk which one is Lie.

Everything is a lie.. A revisionist edit.

ralphorb:
Oba Eleko of Isale Eko is between the BINI and the IJESHA! But firstly, we must ask who own Lagos or probably who owns the land of Lagos. We must also differentiate between Eko, Isale Eko, Lagos Island, Lagos and Lagos State.

Sometimes in the early-mid 1400s, an Ile-Ife Prince Olofin Ogunfunminire and his family left the Ife palace, with an instruction of Ifa (Deity Oracle) to place a place a "Plate of Sacrifice" (Awo Ipese Ebo) on the water and sail behind it to where it goes, and wherever it sinks, they should make their settlement and expand.
After the long journey following the plate, the plate finally sank at Isheri (the water at Berger-Ogun Kara Bridge), then the name "Awori" came into being: "Awo" (the Plate), "Ri" (Sank). After sometimes, the other wife of Olofin who did not conceive of a child, then because of it, Olofin consulted Ifa, and he was instructed to move further to the bank of big and salty water, there he should stay and his wife would be able to born a child. He then moved further, and got to the place called "Iddo" (m. Settlement) (near the today's Marina water), there his wife was able to give birth to children.

One of his sons who was able to swim across the lagoon, down to the down Island, named Aromire (the friend of water), was made the owner of the territory by their father Ogunfunminire, while the extension of the territories shared to siblings Moba (a daughter married to Ikoyi Eso), Iru (Victoria Island today) and Eleguish (Lekki). Therefore, before the death of Olofin Ogunfunminire, he had shared all the territories to his children, including his children-in-laws.

Many years after, the Iddo had became the trade center, where the Ijebu, Ilaje, Oyo, Egun and other territories came to trade, while also the Dutch sailed to buy Mable Blocks of Salt, Pepper, Fishes, Ivory, Gin and Cotton. All the trade concentrated at Iddo, as the edges of the market to left and to the right were Farms (Oko/Eko/Iko) of crops and avenue to and from to the Iddo market. Also, downward across the lagoon was also the farm of Aromire, known as Isale Oko/Eko or Iko (Downward Farm), where he had the standing trees of different kind of fruits and peppers which also partially became a market. The Idu-Igaran (Standing of Pepper trees) is of the Pepper Farm, Idu-imota (Stands of Knowing Price/Trade) was farm-to-resellers center in that downward. The Osere trees being used for Ikan (carpentry) to make chair, stools, canoes and other played significant role in concentration of buy and selling in that Idu-Imota that attracted some traders to cross the water to buy on Aromire farm. Osere tree at Igboosere (Osere Forest) used for planks and woods to carve at Onikan (the Carpenters) moved finished products to Iddo market.

Sometimes in the mid or late 1600s, which is about two centuries and more than 10th generation of the Olofin Aworis, the Benin sailed in to also trade. During the reign of Omo N'Oba Ohuan who visited the Iddo market, and was so honored.

The dispute between a successful trader called Aina in the market and the other rivals, being labeled a "witch"; she decided to take her case to palace of Benin where she reported her case. The Oba of Benin sent his chiefs to mediate and settle the dispute, but on their way, they spotted the woven fishing basket and arrow hook , which they mistook for readiness for war. The chiefs went back to the palace for what they saw, and then the Oba sent his army, led by Aseru, the prince of Benin to conquer Iddo and extensions. Yes, Aseru with his army entered Iddo town, the army attacked and dispersed people, burnt trading stands and stalls, the Iddo city deserted, till they fought down to Isheri.

The Olofins fought back, with the help of their in-law from Oyo, Ikoyi Eso (The Army Guards of Oyo means "Ikoyi Eso", led by Ashipa (m. the Frontier) that considered the Benin invasion as "cheat" on the defenseless people; they joined the Olofin and conquered the Benin army and even drowned prince Aseru in the Isheri water , to death. Ashipa who led the guards from Oyo, took the body of prince Aseru in self-arrest with other Benin army to Benin palace, he was imprisoned in Benin for many months, but was later released and lived in the palace for sometimes, the Oba of Benin gave an instruction with "Royal Drum" given to Ashipa to become an Oba on Isale Eko land, with other appointed chiefs to make the installation of Ashipa as Oba Eleko possible. But yet, the Idejos (Aromire and brothers) did not agree, their term was made clear that: for Ashipa to be an Oba Isale Eleko on the land given to the Benin, their ownership must not pass the of land and space given to them by Aromire as garrisson/base at Iga-Iduganran, that the land, water and fishes on Isale Eko belong to Aromire, they'd also take the 70% of Chieftaincy and the tax collections taken by the Oba in Isale Eko must be shared among the Oba and the Idejos, with other portion taken to Benin. This agreement was not settled for many years, until the death of Ashipa. Late his son Ado, was installed with the agreement of ownership and Obaship.


The fall of Oba Eleko from BENIN Lineage to IJESHA Lineage: The Oba Ado, Gabaro, Akinsemonyin and Eletu Kekere were the last Oba that was connected to Oba Bini. The kind of system of Obaship title of Benin is quite different to other Obaship title, mostly among Yoruba kingdoms. The Benin system use the first child to be in line to the throne, while the Yoruba system uses the system of all princes are entitled, taken the princes name to Ifa (Oracle), Ifa trim them down to, then the other princes vote.

This is the case of Eletu Kekere who did not have a child during his 5 years reign as Oba Eleko. Erelu Kuti who was the Wife of the Ologun Kutere was the Royal lineage, since she could not become an Oba, his husband Ologun Kutere was installed by the Chiefs, then the Obaship fell into the hand of a descent of an IJESHA, called OLOGUN KUTERE, who fathered the Kosoko, Akitoye, Osinlokun, Idewu Ojulari and Eshugbayii with other wives from Ijebu, also his grandchildren are Dosunmu, Oluwole, Adeniji Adele, Oyekan and Akiolu (his mother was Benin descent and last wife).

Eko: - is the consist of Ikoyi, Victoria Island , Ebute Metta, Yaba, Apapa and Isale Eko+
Isale Eko: - Lafiaji, Ita Faaji, Idumota, Idumaagbo, Igbosere, Campos
Lagos Island:- Isale Eko, Ikoyi, Oniru (Victoria Island), Lekki
Lagos: - Ikeja, Shomolu, Kosofe, Surulere, Mushin, Alimosho, Festac, Agege + Eko, Isale Eko+
Lagos State: +, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Ikeja, Lagos Island (IBILE of Lagos State).

Epe: (from Epe to Lekki Chevron) was territory of IJEBU.
Ikorodu: (All Ikorodu town was territory of IJEBU REMO
Badagry was interchange of French and British for Dahomey and Portnovo (Benin Republic. Portnovo was former Oyo Empire and Yoruba territory).

Liar!!

samuk:
I believe we have to look critically at the transition from the Ogiso dynasty to the Oba dynasty. I know this is a very controversial area that many people don't want to get involved in. Our French brother actually argued that it has always been one dynasty and the two dynasty was a recent thing, I am inclined to believe. I don't believe the Ogiso dynasty was fabricated as he suggested because there are too many oral traditions across various Edoid tribes to support the Ogisos.

The difficulty for me is that most early European written accounts of Benin history are not in English and many haven't been translated. I would like to know if the title of any Benin monarch is buried in these early writings, I want to know when it changed from Ogiso to Oba, the earliest I can find the use of oba is Button written accounts in 1865.

In 1824, the British was in yoruba land and between 1824 and 1891 the British was very active in Nigeria, both the British and their local agents such as Ajayi Crowder had numerous written accounts of that period and different tribes but nothing was written to support Benin/Ife connection.

Ryder in 1965 came to the same conclusion that Benin/Ife connection wasn't recorded in early Europeans writings of Benin and that it was a recent (after the fall of Benin) tradition.

Since I can't find any evidence to link Benin to Ife, the two dynastic history of Benin become an issue for me.

I also noticed that since I divided Benin history into pre-1897 and post 1897, the insults from some of our yoruba neighbours greatly reduced, some even become less interested in the Benin/Ife connection. I even put up $1000, one thousand US dollars for anyone that can provide any written evidence before 1895 that support Benin/Ife connection, till now no one on this forum have been able to provide any evidence.

I will not want to go on here why I think the Benin palace is promoting the Benin/Ife connection, I have already made my thought known in the past.

After the fall of Benin in 1897, Benin history was changed to align with the political situation of the time, Benin history still carries that distortion.

The proclaiming of Oranmiyan as an Oba by the current Oba is a continuation of the post 1897 political history of Benin.

Yoruba history since 1824 have followed the same pattern of continously moving the goalposts, every yoruba towns and villages now traces their origin to Ife, including those that once claimed Sudan and many other places outside Nigeria.

A lot of things don't add up about the Benin-Ife connection, especially the Oranmiyan story.
Oranmiyan supposedly came to Igodomigodo trying to be king but the people resisted and he was driven out but yet his son (Eweka) became king.
I don't believe Oranmiyan was the father of Oba Eweka..
Oba Eweka 1 is deeply rooted in our folklore even the name Ogiso which predates Oranmiyan is in our folklore but Oranniyan is not there.. it's like Edo folklore doesn't remember Oranmiyan.

GhostOfNigeria:
names like Oba oluwa corrupted to olua and oba ojo oluwa corrupted to ozolua and oba Ogun Ola corrupted to oguola many more

Calm down.. Your tribe can never have a history as great and glorious like Benin's.

Meandmycrew:
If he doesnt wed her he cant bury that child. He has to do the needful traditionally by paying her bride price which we all assumed he has done. If not the child doesnt belong to him even in death.

Which yeye tradition? Tradition that is used to oppress the poor..
you can't tell a rich and powerful man that story else he go arrest you and your tradition.

AutomaticMotors:
There is no error there he is not in the same class with those on the list!

Class aside, The Great Oba of Benin was not dethroned.. He was only exiled to Calabar after the war with the British where he lived as a king till his death and his successor was crowned king.
The British and even Nigerian government knows very well that they have no power to dethrone a king ordained by God.

VictorUSA:
Another SIMPle man wifed the lady you dumped in the trashcan? Correct

Just as you married or will marry a lady another guy dumped in the trashcan lol...

OlaoChi:
Instead being moved to hatred and frustration why not let your bini pride move you to reading more history.

If you have a problem with my post you could have pointed them out by maybe mentioning one reputable historian that confirms the bini claim
BTW. Oduduwa is a Yoruba matter so maybe you should first face your own history and find out where ekalederan or whatever his name is died before interfering in Yoruba history which you have never for a sec researched

If you researched history like you are advocating you will find out that Ondo was for many years ruled by Benin kingdom and populated by Edo warriors and traders and settlers, thereby influencing the yoruba culture and also the large number of Edo groups in the state..

So you believe Oduduwa trekked down from the middle east??

Kobojunkiee:
Um... you are still not making any sense.

Do you know what the word consent means?

If doctors could go ahead and do pretty much what they wanted, why would they have need to ask your consent in the first place?

I see you don't understand the legal reason why consent is needed so make you rest.
As for that JW woman case, doctors here will not need her consent to save his life.

Kobojunkiee:
Why are you still going on about abeg? You lied earlier about these things now you are attempting to spin it as if the forms no dey. Abeg land or fly past!

Consent forms are real everywhere. Simple!

abeg the topic was never about existence of consent forms but about wether the woman was legally right to refuse blood given to her husband. My opinion is doctors here will not ask her consent to give the man blood when it was needed to save his life.. na you dey drift to wether consent forms exists.

and yes consent forms are real and everybody knows that.. but probably you don't know the actual purpose why the consent form exist and who it protects.

donjahsy:
The late husband must have signed a DPA Card ( DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY) which clarifies that no matter the health condition he finds himself weather conscious or unconscious, NO BLOOD must be infused but instead any alternative blood building medications should be used.

Just drag the woman to a competent Court of Justice for manslaughter and she presents the DPA Card and walks home a free woman.

So you mean the husband was ready to die?? so why did he go for surgery? he should have just stayed home and die na.

Kobojunkiee:
See attached link is an example consent form for blood transfusion used at UCLA.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.uclahealth.org/neurosurgery/Workfiles/Site-Neurosurgery/Blood-Consent.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj638uz2Mj2AhVSKH0KHacKDEMQFnoECAQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1IhMFz0zrZe-xJHMq8QC-g

There are consent forms for almost everything .

Bro the consent form just like all medical documents patients sign is to protect the hospital from law suits incase anything goes wrong the hospital cannot be held liable.. You should understand why hospital tells you to sign documents. It's for their protection, not for you to consent to save someone's life.
If blood is required to save someone's life, the spouse or family member that refuses that life saving measure can be held responsible and will face criminal charges related to the death of that person..
Try make you wise.. Like I said earlier most Africans migrate to western world physically and not mentally.

Kobojunkiee:
I can tell you have have actually been to a hospital before or you are just being fasicious. Have you ever actually looked closely at the mountains of consent forms you sign up for right right the door into the hospital to know exactly what it is your are agreeing to or you just sign an Waka without paying attention?

I have not done any major surgery that requires me signing documents.. however focusing on the topic of this woman, doctors here will not need permission to give blood for a sugery they are already performing.

And if anybody denies someone their rights to life because of religious beliefs or personal beliefs that person is going to jail..
Here no be like Nigeria where una carry religion for head and pastors get rich on your destinies..

Kobojunkiee:
You are lying!

Lying Lol
Guy rest joor.. u don't know what you are talking about.
Listen, if the hospital had supply of blood and it was free do you think they would have asked the woman to sign anything? This issue came up because they told the woman to go buy blood and the religion excuse came up and they told her to sign document thst she is responsible for her husband's death..
If Nigeria had free healthcare this probably wouldn't have happened.

aribisala0:
No I talk about what I know of and where I have lived probably before you were born

Stop talking Nonsense

There are different laws across Europe . Even in the UK the law in England is different from Scotland

The legal issues here are
Mental Incapacity
Advanced Decision Making
Power of Attorney


You talked about "murder". That statement alone marks you out as borderline illiterate and not worth the effort.

Doctors make decisions about healthcare where the patient lacks capacity using "best interest" doctrines. In controversial cases they can approach , in England, The Court of Protection, a specialist Court in the UK .

There is Case law specific to Jehovah witnesses and blood transfusion from the Court of Protection so these are not uncharted waters.

Take your own advice

When you don't know just FEM!!!

Bro shut up. I live in western world, a doctor will not ask permission to perform simple life saving procedures like giving blood during sugery like this topic we are discussing.
You sound like those Africans that migrate here physically and not mentally hence you don't know your rights and keep getting oppressed in western world.

aribisala0:
Which Europe Ukraine or Russia? Murder? And what about the doctors were they obliged to obey her? In the UK there is a Court of Protection that deals with such matters and doctors can approach the Court for such decisions. It sits everyday if required.
People can talk rubbish sha

In Europe/western world she is going jail for making decision that killed her husband when he could easily have survived..
However the doctors won't even ask her permission to give blood transfusions after surgery.

No talk about places you know nothing of..

Freddonance:
She committed no crime. It was her husband's decision not to be transfused

Where did you read that? The story doesn't say it was her husband's decision. It was her decision to let her husband die.

duro4chang:
This is Africa not europe. She should have informed the family of the man. You said she was right but as it is now she will be blaming herself for what she did.

If it was Europe she will go to jail for murder.. being a wife doesn't give you the right to deny him his chance to live.

Kobojunkiee:
The woman was married to the man at the time of his death, so there is technically nothing wrong with what she did.

Being in charge of the bills does not give one legal guardianship so the in-laws are wrong in assuming they should have been consulted on the matter. So the in-laws should probably work on accepting their loss and moving on from this.

You don't know what you are talking about. Being married to someone doesn't give you the right to deny them the right to live. Her decision basically killed the husband when he could have easily survived. In western world she is going to jail.

Please think well before you write rubbish make i too know no go kill you or somebody close to you.

TAO11:
PS: Did I remember to teach you that Cyril Punch was here in the 1880s, 1890s, and early-1900s (when pack animals are now more accessible for trips) as opposed to the 1400s and earlier (which is the focus period of the Benin to Ife trip in question)?

Again, I feel your misery. It is well expressed.

BTW, I noticed that even you yourself do not believe that your own reply here can match up with my actual comment which you attempted to reply here.

I know this because you are dead-scared to quote my comment in full — hence the reason why you cut out a huge and a crucial chunk of my comment.

The crucial chunk which you’ve cut out is as follows:

“Datum 1: C. G. Okojie’s “Ishan Native Laws and Customs,” p. 210. provides the first data as follows:

The walking trip from Uromi (in Ishan) to Benin City on a course of some 50 miles “traditionally” took an average of 5 months.

~ Cited in A.F.C. Ryder (1965), p.27.”

This piece of crucial information therefore confirms to anybody with a minimum of 1 brain-cell that the long distance trekking convention in this part of the world in ancient times is radically different from what a 21st century Nairaland troll wants it to be.

In other words, they must have evolved a convention of camping for ‘x’ period of time for every ‘y’ miles of trekking they make — especially when it’s a group of people of diverse ages as opposed to one person only; and especially when the olden texts also clearly admit that the messengers made slow paces.

The bottom line here, for the genuine seekers of facts, is that since Uromi to Benin city took an average of 5 months traditionally, it is absurd for any sane person to even contemplate that Benin to Ife would therefore have taken 2 weeks traditionally.

The following link shows my actual original comment in full. The comment which he was desperate that no one should see in full:

—————
Oh, lest I forget, please do send my regards to your sky-king Ogiso who came from heaven and crash-landed at Benin city round-about.

Regards.

I know you are frustrated that I am punching holes in your useless write ups lol..
abeg just ask your white colonial masters if it took them that long to travel from one city to another during their exploration of Africa..
You can even research their journals.. You will definitely find their travel times in the journals.

Mugu like you.

TAO11:
An eyewitness’ account furnished with quotes and full references have its way of inflicting pains on folks with wonderfully low self esteem like you.

I feel your pains.

The only pains in your eye witness account is describing the palace of your so called most powerful king in ruins, run down and dilapidated more than 20 years after the Yoruba wars.. Now is that truly a great and powerful king living like a pauper?
Your eye witness only used a sweet way to humiliate your king. Who calls a mud hut a castle? or says it has high steps? we all know that is definitely not true..
Your witness comes from a place where there are real Castles, magnificent pillars and thick walls.. so he surely knows the difference.
He even said his horse climbed up the high steps.. To where? The Oni's living room? such disrespect of a "great king"

Go and sit down.. You are looking for ways to upgrade your low status, however you will remain down there.

TAO12:
IFE is roughly about 174 miles away from Benin City.

Summary:
(1) The “traditional” walking distance from Benin to Ile-Ife took an average of 17.4 months

(2) 17.4 months are equivalent to 530.178 days (i.e. 17.4 months * 30.47days per month).

(3) 530.178 days are equivalent to 19.4 moons (i.e. 530.178 days / 27.322 days per moon).

In conclusion, the facts and figures turn out to prove that the “traditional” trip from Benin city to Ile-Ife took an average of 19.4 moons.

This answer is therefore astoundingly accurate for all practical intents and purpose.

From this again, we see that Ife is indeed the place of the Ogané of the Portuguese text. The Bini informant knew exactly what he was talking about.

PS: References to this great overlord (to whom Benin obas are subservient) is documented not once, not twice, not thrice by independent Europeans; but at least five separate times spanning centuries prior to the 1800s.

Peace!

You must really be stupid (though u have proven to be) to believe it will take almost 2 years to walk from Benin to Ife. The white man must have really filled your brains with dust and smoke before they released you people from slavery and returned to Africa. No wonder you believe Oduduwa fell from the sky in chains.

Can you ask your white overlords how long it took them to walk from one city to another when they were exploring Africa? Some of them
(like Mr. Cyril Punch) definitely visited Benin, Ife, Oyo and many other places during their exploration. so ask them how long it took them to walk from Benin to Ife, or from Ife to Oyo, or from Oyo to Benin.. Mumu like you.

An Edo man will walk from Benin to Ife in less than 2 weeks..

TAO11:
Another epic fail as is to be expected.

(6) Yet, here is his eyewitness description:

(A) “A minute or two after twelve midday the monumental ruins of the Ooni’s “palace” met our gaze. We stood before the portal of the castle in the middle of an enormous square. I sent Bida in to announce us, waited for some time, made my horse climb the high flight of steps and rode through the delicately-carved door of the entrance, across the courtyard and through the dilapidated colonnades with my companions. It was like an enchanted castle. It was so large and noble in design, so superbly pure despite its broken lines, its mouldering to decay and the sordid exterior it now presents. We did not meet a single soul. At last we came to where there were some people, and there, clad in a gorgeous robe of bright green silk, a magnificent tiara on his brow, and shaded by a huge silken canopy, the Oni, the head of the Holy City of Ife’s hierarchy, advanced to meet us with a great crowd.” ~ Leo Frobenius, “Voice of Africa,” (1913), p.77.


(B) “The Palace of the Oni, whose massive walls meet the eye from whatever quarter one approaches it, is that which most impress everyone who visits the Ilifé of to-day. Its front, especially, with the fine open square on which it stands, makes an imposing effect in spite of all its ruin. The masonry of the façade is still in fair condition, although it is denuded and devoid of interest. The walls are more mighty, over a yard broad at the base and some eighteen feet high.” ~ Leo Frobenius, “Voice of Africa,” (1913), p.276.

(7) The background in your photo fails to match this eyewitness account.

(8 ) The background in your photo is therefore not a picture of his “palace”.

(9) Plus, the photo you attached never even claimed that background to be his palace in the first place.

(10) Why are you a liar?

Cheers.

This eye witness account is false, not a true description of the (dilapidated and run down) Oni Palace. Typical of the white man deceptive ways.

When did the oni palace have high steps? Leading to which floor?

Why was the Oni palace still in ruins almost 20years after the yoruba wars?
was he too poor to rebuild or it wasn't actually ruins but so ugly and dirty the explorer thought it was ruins?

The picture of Oni Ademiliyu that you are disputing, is that really the Oni? If it is then it is also his palace in the background..

Stop confusing reality with sweet stories..
