ur fellow afonja matched d bomb u just dropped on d gej thread

Mister war and death. What are you waiting for? Go and start training your I-pigs for the ribelation of ala-potorpotor

And we thank God for Awo's free education - otherwise many Igbos who are educated today will not be. A bi I lie?

You are dodging my question.

There was no royalty before King Ado, not even a palace. The birth of the royalty of Lagos Island was from King Ado and since he conquered the place and name it Eko, makes all who succeed him his descendants. I also know that deceased Lagos Kings were sent to Benin to be buried and paid royalty to Benin but that stopped after sometime.

Now since its the royal families that owns the land and are the authority over the land, doesn't that mean Benin are by the conquest and Ado, owners of Lagos?

You keep saying king Ado but Ado was more like a commander charged with security and third party in case of dispiute between the Idejo

Yes he is refered to as Oba but let's say practically he wasn't an Oba. It was his first son Gabaro who was given land by Aromire(a Yoruba landowner over all of isale-eko, excluding Enuwa- Which belonged to bini)
On the authority of the Idejo he was allowed to build his own council - a council made up of people Oba of bini sent to him

Yes I have corrected myself. I thing you need to finish reading the pages before quoting...

poseidon12:
Interesting piece of history. I didn't know that Lagos belongs to the Bini and not Yoruba. The Bini need to be more assertive in reclaiming what is there own.

Yes, the Bini definitely need to be more assertive in laying claim to Onitsha, while the Igala need to be assertive in laying claim to Asaba, Nsukka, and Ossomala in the SE.

That's right. Aromire family preexisted Bini coming as well. They need to be careful with all these claims because they will force the original families to assert their claims and hold tightly to the crown while downgrading these families.

Xda59:
Akiolu has said it in the past that Lagos is Bini. No questions asked.

And Akiolu's claims have been refuted by more knowledgeable people using historical evidence.

FisifunKododada:
Who is preaching? I am stating my position very clearly. If the Oba likes let him not respond. As long as he is okay with the consequence of his silence. Which is he will continue to gba bode from now till he stands up and act like a man. As for the head chief of Idumota - he is limited ONLY to Idumota and he knows it.

You clearly know nothing about how the Oba of Benin responds to issues. Direct your concerns to Akiolu. Why are you so silent about him? Isn't it his territory that is being disputed by one of his subjects??

yhemster:
"The state of origin" palaver has done more harm then good to the unity of this country. It's time we start using "the state of residence". Osibade (oh my bad, VP Osinbajo) promised this during the campaign but no sign of action yet.

I do not support that nonsense. The people that would benefit most from state of residence are the wandering jews from the potorpotor republic. Their region is damaged beyond repair so they have turn nomads going everywhere and calling people's homelands nomanlands. We even have Northern-Igbos now.

Dirkcoyt:


who told you oduduwa is from Benin? if you don't know history stop distorting existing one! I hate the fact you keep alluding to the Benin baseless izoduwa claim which is the work of revisionist! Benin have been trying to claim every part Of southern Nigeria with unfound rhetoric.

Afonja will always run away from the truth.

This man is ignorant! How can he claim Awori and Bini are the same? Awori's are Yoruba.

Where is gbaye the london hustler? Lagos is not yorubaland, so says a lagos indigene

Nnamdi Azikwe - the eternal leader of all Igbos- says Onitsha is not Igbo land. Oya Igbos should start packing from Onitsha back to Abakaliki

Blackfyre:


But looking at it from now backward, all royal families or at least most come from one source. It only branches into more families when after the first his sons decide to establish each family for themselves.

The only difference with Benin is that, the first son becomes king irrespective of either brothers or uncles.

By and large, especially for the Idejo family bit I have come to read, Lagos is owned by Yoruba. Like someone said on here, they are the real power broker of Lagos...

True that is why I sometimes wonder why the Akinsemoyin family are completely dismembered from Royalty.

Lagos politics and history is very interesting and probably the most complex in Yorubaland

ProWalker:


Like the lies your fathers told you to cover their loses.
You were beaten blue and black and that encounter marked the beginning of your Biafra dream.
Read up on the history and not the lies handed down to you by your losers.
Your fathers lost everything and the looks on their faces after the war was that of total despair and a desire to end their lives but for Yorubas that welcomed them and allowed them to start afresh with the £20 doled out to them by awolowo to start life again
Generations of losers, that is what you are

Naaaa,forget the tales by moonlight your fathers told you, after killing thousands of you and fearing that the Yoruba people we came to liberate could become "monuments" like those stones in Ore,we simple retreated to Edo state,and when their people also refused to fight for their freedom, we helped them declare a republic of Benin before returning to the east to roast your 3rd marine commandos in onitsha crossing. Read your history. At least, the Edos had a republic for at least 24 hours, but what republic has the Yoruba ever had in their god forsaken slavish lifetime?

make una rest.I do know DAT Bini and Yoruba have a strong connection. but I believe Bini is senior. eti_osa local govt is s Benin name.eko is Benin name.ajayi name is both Yoruba and Edo.they serve the same gods Ogun oronmila sango etc.olakpa is police,ologbo is cat, child is Omo.so relax.but obakhatokpere iseeeeeee

I agree but Yoruba is senior to Bini. You cannot compare one village to an entire SW region. Bini villagers should stop laying claim to Lasgidi.

ken2baba:
thesame way d north use numbers to control nigerian politics

Dats dsame way your people are using to take over lagos from d real owners

Don't worry - nobody can take Lagos away from the real owners, the Yorubas. Are you happy now?

True, I tried reading about it a couple of times but inconsistencies and so many questions, just lost interest. Some things were also just done arbitrarily, I guess the British made it so.

Aromire is probably the most significant family in Lagos. They owned almost everything from the beginning...giving out lands and authority to use their land so freely

Classic case of having too much that you don't know what to do with it again

Eleko and the bini descended families should be careful not to insult their benefactors

And the Oba of Bini knows nothing about this generation of Yorubas - so we are even. If he chooses to be silent then he is giving tacit support. O pari!

A brain transplant unit should do. Your level of stupidity is enormous to trigger new levels of global warming.

With the level of junk and uncorrelated analysis you put forward daily, I’m not suprised Nairaland upload link is getting slower.

Uploading your stupidity as a post must be bothersome even for a 4G network.

Run along now.
