Eriokanmi: You're right. Binis came from Ile Ife. We all know that. Funny enough, just as some people are distorting the history of early settlers of eko( now lagos), some edo people don't believe the binis came from ile ife.
I remember when Oba Ewuare II was going to be enthroned. Some people kicked against it by saying his ancestors were from yorubaland . They even displayed placards during protests .
moba Yorubas were settled in moba Lagos well before the 9th Century before Oduduwa whose Son Oranmiyan established the Benin Throne and kingdom was Born They are currently classified with the Awori people but we're in Lagos many Centuries earlier
In the 10th Century when the first Owa Obokun of Ijesha fetched from the Lagos Sea Water to cure Oduduwa's blindness there were already moba Yorubas. In Lagos and he spent 2 months with them
The idol Worshippers Olokun diety was actually a moba King called Seniade that ruled from an Island off the coast of Lagos that has now been Submerged by the Sea.
Some of the moba migrated to Ijebuland and the moba built the UNESCO world heritage 9th Century Eredo Wall near Ijebu and their kingdom included many Islands off the Coast of Lagos
They have now been included with the Awori people but we're actually the Original Inhabitants of Lagos and were in Lagos Centuries before Oduduwa was Born
The Oore of Otun Ekiti migrated from moba in Lagos and is descended from the moba Kings including Seniade
moba is near Victoria Island and their Crown predates Oduduwa's own
Yorubas forefathers might not have been great at Technology but God Almighty definitely gave them Prodigious History Art and Music All Glory be to God Almighty
Even the pre Oduduwa moba themselves migrated from Ile Ife !!!
It could only be God Almighty's divine Orchestrated Purpose Our Forefathers were not this organized
It is just Wonderful !!!!
I don't think this has ever happened anywhere else on Earth not even in Europe
That one City Ile Ife was consistently proven to be producing kingdom founders and builders
for over 1500 years
Even in Ghana the GA Tribe migrated from Ife
It could only have been God Almighty
Stop wasting your energy over this matter because nobody is going to listen to this your lies and propaganda, Bini founded Lagos, it's an open secret. no amount of propaganda can change it
sulaak: That is called subjugation and colonisation. Benin colonised and subjugated Lagos, doesn't mean that they own Lagos
You lied here, desist from twisting Lagos history, Yorubas please stop disgracing yourselves over this matter and accept the truth, what the Bini king said was nothing but truth
Lagos Island belongs to the Aromire Family and they are Awori
All your efforts. dispossess Yorubaland of Lagos will definitely Fail
Truth is like a pregnant woman .... you can't hide it forever .... stop twisting histories .... Lagos was founded by the Binis, everybody is aware of it
Pakute: Is your brain fermenting, did you read the junks before bringing it here?. Did you read where she said Lagos is an extension of benin kingdom, it is a territory of benin?, so what horseshit are you smoking on?. Putting a word in parenthesis is mere pandering to nuances and is subjective. Benins migrated from edo, settled on a tiny island where they met the natives, yet claiming ownership. parasitic history.
Your Insults and abuse won't change the truth of this matter, talk like a responsible person, your barking is a waste of energy, the truth remain Bini founded Lagos, stop lying and twisting the history
Pakute: Even your thread says "Benin owned Lagos", not "some part". why are you twisting the narrative?, is your brain normal?
I will be honest with you, Binis founded Lagos and if you like shout from now until billion years it won't change the truth. kiss the truth and stop barking all over the place.
KingKO22: So Bini now pass through Ore, Ijebu-Ode and Sagamu to claim land in far away land ?
Why is there no single heritage or houses that belongs to Bini in Lagos
Why is Ife empire spread from that Ife to all over Yoruba land and Bini the greatest empire that time couldn't conquer the Ore rather they only conquer Lagos 😂😀😀🤣
Only IPOB are getting carried away by this oral proclamation without any prove.
All in all, Yoruba are now the land sellers in Lagos and their is nothing any IPOB or Binin can do about. Whatever story you have doesn't matter bcs even the Binin are using Oba as king and no Lagos Oba using anything that has to do with Edo kingdom.
Forget the nonsense story. Lagos na our own.
You talk like a kid, stop disgracing your lineage here. spit
wirinet: False premise. People sometimes bear names due to cultural or language assimilation, gaining political or social advantage or simply close contact and admiration of the people. Many examples abound. Many Urhobo and Ijaw people bear itsekiri names a good example is Richard Mofe Damijo, an urhobo man bearing itsekiri name. Many igbos born and bred in the South West bear Yoruba names. Same in the north, so many Mohammeds with northern surnames that are from the south east. Many parents have named their children Lionel or even Messi because of the admiration of the footballer, even not being Argentinian.
My grouse with the OP is trying to force his preferred identity on others. If he feels igbo as an Ikwerre man, fine, that's his perogative. But if another man feels he is not Igbo, that's their own perogative also. You cannot impose identity on another person.
Nobody is imposing Identity on anyone, Ikwerres are Igboid and we love each other, case closed. hope you are okay now?
Nothing failed because nobody is trying to rewrite history, this is not Igbo coup ... the problem here is that the Igbos who should have been killed were not killed even though some of them were killed, not all of them. You guys should understand our politicians are so selfish and self centered. more than 3 million innocent souls got wasted for what they knew nothing about. this is why Nigeria will ever work. it's never going to work even in trillion years to come because of that war.
The ban was announced early this year so that people like you won't come and drag them into your Biafra cesspit.
By the way, why beg Ijaws for Bonny and Opobo ?
I thought these two kingdoms are Ibo territory?
Land thief
Dude no language was banned in those 2 places, illiterate your problem is clickbait and your hatred for Jewish. continue to deceive yourself if it will make you happy
PaellaPaella: They are definition of wailers, Opobo is their next source of energy after losing Ilorin with Binis coming out to inform Nigerians they founded Lagos. they have nothing else to hold on to, you can imagine the pain they are going through at the moment 🤣😂
Their ignorance stinks to the high heavens, I'm laughing myself to the ground here
