This is a historical fact from the current Oba of Lagos. He said that...

Modern-day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the First Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast.Read more after cut....

It was a major center of the slave trade until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British Colonial Period. The remainder of Modern-day Nigeria was seized in 1886, when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its Capital due to the struggle of the Bini King.


Lagos experienced growth pro to the British Colonial rule and even more rapid growth during the Colonial rule throughout the 1960s, 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s till date. Thanks to the Awori's, Bini's, Yoruba's, migrants across the Nation and World at large, as no particular group of people can take the Glory alone.
Lagos is made up of Lagoons and creeks. The Lagos lagoon, Lagos Harbour, five cowne creeks. Ebute-Metta creeks, Porto-Novo creeks, New canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Light house creeks.


The Awori's and Bini's are known to be the first settlers of the Eko Land. The Awori's are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba Language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori's were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini's who followed their self exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose Step-Mother was after his head.
The Exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa known to the Yoruba's as Ooduwa (Oduduwa) was made ruler of the Ife people due to his Powers and followers from the Great Benin-Kingdom.


Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the First King of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father's Kingdom in Benin are the today's Awori people who settled in Eko now called Lagos.
In the 1300, the King of Benin-Empire heard from one of his traders who was a settler in Eko on how the Bini's were treated by the Awori's who lived in their area. Upon hearing this the King of Benin commanded the assembling of a War expedition, lead by his Son Prince Ado, which headed the settlement of the Awori's and demanded and explanation.


On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his Army were more than received. The Awori's asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed.Hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.
The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son Oba Ado in the running of Eko. From the crowing of Prince Ado as the First Oba of Lagos (then called Eko) Lagos served as a major center for Slave- trade from which the Awori's, the Oba of Benin and his son the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.


The Oba of Benin was head of the Benin-Empire which are present day Western, Southern and Eastern Modern- day Nigeria.
The King never obliged anyone to speak the Bini language as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.
The name Eko was given to it by the First King of Lagos Oba Ado, the young and vibrant Prince from Benin. Eko was the Land now known as Lagos Island, where the king Palace was built. The palace is called IDUNGARAN meaning "palace built on pepper farm" Oba Ado and the Warriors from Benin together with the early Bini's settlers in Eko and the Awori people settled in the Southern part of Eko called "Isale Eko". "Isale literally means bottom ". Must have been used to indicate downtown (as in down town Lagos)

This man is a disgrace to the Nigerian people. He has nothing to offer. He should pay the backlog of salaries
of workers in Ekiti State.

A good governor doesn't necessarily make a good minister.

Yaradua and OBJ. PMB is a fluke and weakling. Can't deal with NASS. Jonathan bred a bunch of corrupt politicians

I notice this English name "Jackson" is common among Benin men.

Tinubu should support Osinbajo as the next president after Buhari. Him contesting will distablise the good already happening

Engineering or Accounting

It is for security reason. With a blackberry, iPad, smart phone or android or I phones, kidnappers can track him down

There was a day, i felt tired, feverish along with headache on my way from work. That day we went for a project on the island. I was on my way home from V/I. I stay in Gbagada. I was calculating how i was going to take drugs and treat myself. My colleague who was driving tuned the station were this song was being played. After the song was over I realized my fever disappeared. I was suprised, does non gospel music also have healing power. Question

Nigeria is not fully a Christian Nation. There are thears amongs the wheat

Buhari is a good leader only that he is not the one destined by God to sanitize Nigeria and take it to the promise Land

Buhari is a good man, only he is not the will of God to rule Nigeria and talk it to the promise Land

I desire to do the will of God. I am leading a fellowship. I have this deep sensing that I am not called into the Ministry. What are the signs you are not called by God even though you have started a Church?

With the way the world system is designed, Christians are not destined to live as Kings and Queens on the earth. The world system encourages corruption, evil practices, occultism, witchcraft. All these are the major criteria for leadership, influence and wealth. Even Christians who find themselves in these position have dine with devils. How can you maintain your christian integrity? Is it possible to do this and not be unstained.

Adam's sin of disobedience to God almost cost the entire human race. He lost his dominion and authority of the earth to Satan. Yes Jesus paid the price for sin but Satan is still the god of this world.(2 Cor 4: 4) His influence on the earth is still very strong, he is called the prince of the power of the air.(Eph 2:2) Even after the death and resurrection of Christ. It is only those who are born again who are daily working in the spirit that has authority over him. A christian in the flesh cannot overcome the enemy.
