he is not an attention seeker, he is telling the truth, have you ever wondered why Lagos is referred to as eko, Bini own Lagos my friend.

I disagree. He is an attention seeker and he is NOT telling the truth. Have you ever wondered why he did not list the names of the Kings of Lagos throughout history? Lagos is 100% Yoruba land my friend.

Both the local champion of Idumota and Mr. 'I am a bini man' Ajayi are both dropping the Oba's name. Let the Oba call them to order. Otherwise his silence is an indication of tacit support.

Oba of Benin's silence is not an indication of tacit support. sad It is an indication that he does not wish to drawn into meaningless issues, or get involved in any petty, needless controversy. He did not send Ajayi-Bembe on any errand. The man is on his own.

Let the Oba of Lagos Rilwan Babatunde Osuolale Aremu Akiolu rebuff all claims to his territory, by setting the records straight. After all, Ajayi-Bembe is his subject, living within his domain on Lagos island, not so?

That old man is not ashamed to spew a lot of rubbish on national media just because of politics. He is an "agba-iya". He said he is Bini, he said he is also Awori.But even a child knows that Awori & Bini are never the same.

Nobody is disputing the fact that the Bini once maintained a military garrison on Lagos Island at the height of their powers, which is why the "Eleko" did not and should not wear a crown, he was never from any royal lineage, he was simply a war chief, a garrison commander.

If Bini actually settled Lagos the so called indigenes (including the garrulous Chief Ajayi-Bembe) would actually bear Bini names. But they eventually withdrew, leaving the land for the aboriginal inhabitants - the Awori. It's the same way you see relics of Roman civilization/administration in parts of Britain today. Do we now say the Romans own Britain?

Thats why wise people like Fayose are sending afonja youth to Aba/Onitsha so that they will become useful in life

Igbo amaka grin grin

Fayose sent maybe 20 Ekitians to learn trade. Meanwhile, every year hundreds of thousands of Igbo youths enter Yoruba land so that they won't die of poverty in ala-potorpotor. So you see we are the ones helping you not the other way around. cheesy

For the uneducated, please know these facts

The original Settlers of Lagos: Awori

How they arrived in lagos: The Awori left ife and were instructed by an ifa oracle (priest) from ife to put a plate in the ocean and follow it and settle wherever it sinks. They followed the plate till it sank in the Atlantic Ocean, they called themselves Awo Ti Ri meaning the plate has sunk, hence their name the AWORIS

Lagos is Yoruba, however the king of Benin sent an expedition to lagos island, and was able to conquer parts of the island and called it eko, meaning war camp. So yes, lagos does have a Bini influence, however the original settlers are sons of ife

Hope that clears it up

This man ripped Tinubu and Soyinka apart,there is an element of truth in the gist around town that Tinubu and Fashola re not Lagosians,bt re from Irapaji(hope I got the spelling right) in Osun state. This Tinubu own sef na waya,he claimed to ve attended St.Paul,Aroloya and Children's Home School,both in Ibadan despite records stating the contrary. He also claimed to ve attended University of Chicago.a claim that was bursted too as soon as it started and to the credit of the late legal luminary Chief again Fawehinmi who fought to get justice served on Tinubu by taking him to court despite threats to his life.

Pastor Tunde Bakare has also always been very critical of Tinubu,he even referred to him as a bastard who wouldn't be able to point at his paternal compound in Lagos. How a fraudster managed to dribble a tribe as educated as the Yorubas still baffles me..

Actually, its the other way around. Ask yourself why up till the late 19th century, the lingua-franca in the Oba's palace was Yoruba. Go and ask your elders.

Lolz.....Aworis are Bini ? urgent medical attention for this idiot, go tell my Grandpa in Lagos that he is a Bini. We are direct descendants of Olofin who owns Lagos land (one of the sons of Oduduwa). The meaning of AWORI is PLATE SINK go to Ijesha Land or Ekiti Land ask them the meaning of AWO. In conclusion, we are Yoruba not Bini.

What is this Igbo domination you people talk about? You claim to be superior to Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis YET you are unable to measure up politically. You claim that your potorpotor land is superior to every other region YET your people are running away from the SE to seek survival especially among Yoruba people. Humble yourselves and join hands to make Nigeria a better place.
