It has always been an Awori settlement and the Ijebus as well around the Epe, Ikorodu and some Lekki areas. The bini soldiers came over 100 years after the Awori had settled in the land. Much ado over nothing.

Anyway, Lagos is covered by Ogun, then Ondo. It seems God knew many strange tribes would try to covet the land and eledumare decided to protect it with two Yoruba states.

Why all the noise about who discovered Lagos and who did not? People only discovered what was already in existence even before them. It doesn't mean they created anything. Afterall we were told that Mongu Park discovered the River Niger. And so be it.

This common sense.God created every where.The first person to settle or live in a place, is the discoverer or founder.

Therefore, Mungo paRk discovered river Niger.

The whole world was in the beginning, basically land, forest and water.

Look,
Benin Cannot even Swim not to talk of fighting the Awori and Ijebus who can swim like fish in Water

When it get down to the Wire and you dig deeper you will discover that the people who actually ran the show were the Itsekiri who even had Ijebu roots anyway

Na Itsekiri carry Benin come Lagos

And the Itsekiri even consider themselves to be Yoruba' People anyway

Benin People cannot Swim and they Cannot Canoe
So Benin defeating Awori and Ijebus on Water is out of the Question

Just say it was the Itsekiri
And the Itsekiri had Ijebu roots

nobody founded igodomigodo. igodomigodo was a collection of many villages and communities that came together and agreed to have one king.
ogiso igodo(obagodo) was chosen as the head among the odionweres. he rule very well and the kingship was left to his lineage. a name was also chosen for the entire community and they named it after him

our history is rooted

we dont go about claiming what doesnt exist like oduduwa falling from the sky, trekking all the way from saudi arabia or coming from none existent Oke Ora family

What's the meaning of Obagodo in Edo/Bini language? Obagodo is purely Ife/Yoruba name, just like Obatala, Obameri, Obalufon, Obadio etc. Ogisos of Igodomigodo are from Ile-Ife.

Chat gpt 4 don't lie........

The historical relationship between Benin and Lagos is quite significant and dates back several centuries. The Benin Empire, which flourished from the 13th to the 19th century, had a profound influence on the region, including the area that is now known as Lagos1.

In the early 1600s, specifically around 1603, the Benin Kingdom conquered Lagos, transforming the political system of Lagos from a confederacy to a monarchy2. This conquest led to the incorporation of the Idejo chiefs, who had ruled Lagos between 1500 and 1603, into the Benin monarchy as white cap chiefs. These chiefs retained control over land rights and the settlement of minor disputes2.

The foundation of Lagos is attributed to Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin. Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, and he named the town Eko. It was later renamed Lagos by the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira in 19423.

The Awori subgroup of the Yoruba people, who are indigenous to the Lagos area, also played a significant role in the history of Lagos. They moved to an island now called Iddo and then to the larger Lagos Island. Their ruler, Olofin, divided the island among his ten sons4.

Overall, the historical relationship between Benin and Lagos is characterized by Benin’s imperial influence over Lagos, the establishment of a monarchy, and the integration of local chiefs into the new political structure. This relationship has shaped the cultural and political landscape of Lagos, leaving a lasting legacy that is still evident today.

@sotall and @validated, ISAKOLE （otherwise known as ROYALTY） doesn't suggest ownership, it clearly indicate SUBJUGATION of the weak LAND OWNERS by a SUPERIOR and POWERFUL outside force.

OYO once collected royalty from some kingdoms in todays BENIN REPUBLIC and till date, some of them still bear the imprint of those period （in language, tradition and relationship） but it doesn't mean the OYO or the YORUBAs founded the places. People were there whom the OYO EMPIRE subjugated and mandated to pay royalty to the OYO palace.

HEAR yourself out, how can the portugese renamed the place LAGOS in 1423 when you've already speculated that it was 1603 or thereabout that the BENINS named it EKO. Point blank, the PORTUGESE came around long before the BENINS and take a look around the street names and location on LAGOS ISLAND, they all attest to the real founders or else the BENINS should come round to tell us the one they named or the named places that was renamed by the YORUBAs and at what time？
HISTORY SHOULD BEAR ITS IMPRINTS ON TODAY and Lagos today clearly bear witness to the YORUBA historians records.

You people won't stop lying

Not only ereko, it's eranko.


I ask again, do you have evidence of a war between the Benin Kingdom and the so called indigenes of a land with no name later named Camp (Eko) by the Benins?

I mentioned names of about 5 communities that still exist till today, yet you're still pretending.
If you say Eko means war camp or arsenal in bini language, howcome there's no single Eko in Bini city or anywhere again in Bini territory? Only a fool will believe that Bini, in 15th/16th century went about 400km away to establish war camp in an area already surrounded by many existing communities like Ijebus, Ilajes, Oyos, Dahomy etc.

And who was the first Oba of Benin?

A Benin man
Read this

As we may have it Benin wasn't organised or a powerful kingdom in the early times, in the beginning they were several villages who had Thier various leaders called ogiso they were several ogiso( sky kings) in the various settlement of Benin. at this time Benin was not one, the various settlement with their own ogiso existed independently. there were no one ruler, until a man called evian, killed a spiritual beast that had been disturbing the various villages surrounding Benin. which the various Ogiso heads couldn't handle and he found favour in the Benin community and the villagers came together to make him the oba of igodo. he ascended the throne as eweka the first
He was blessed with mystical powers and the people likened him as the son of a God, the Ogiso who refused to surrender their sovereignty where forced and the kingdom was formed, this several ogiso heads became chiefs in the new kingdom called ogidomigofo
Which later renamed as edo during oba ewaure reign and turned Benin during the Portuguese arrival who had corrupted Ile binu from the itsekiri warnings that had earlier told them not to venture into Benin City during their arrival and inquisition about the edo people
Years after eweka had died his son expanded the kingdom further Benin on several occasion
Lost some villages under the kingdom that had to be brought back through force, the king of the sea (ogiamen) was a powerful ruler who had ruled the river banks of Benin is territory was independent of Benin even when the Benin kingdom was long establish, oba ewakpe who was a conquerer had waged war on his kingdom that lasted for years but his kingdom was too strong to be defeated lots of lives was lost until an agreement was reached by the ogiamen that Benin would one day take over his territory which was a sure thing, because Benin was flourishing and expanding unlike his territory and that if they have to join Benin that the oba of Benin would respect is terms,and that every oba that ascends the throne would always come and buy his sovereignty from his family at every coronation in terms of paying homage and that if the contract is broken they can choose to live the kingdom, this practice continued for centuries until after Benin empire was brought down by the British and that tradition was stopped by the oba, the only way the ogiame family could use to attack the oba was by false acclimation Of his illegitimacy

Just the way the yoruba were brought into one canopy by awolowo during the formation of Nigeria so as evian who became the first oba of Benin united the kingdom

The Benin kingdom consist of the 36 Benin families

The Benin empire consist of lagos, ondo, ekiti, delta and Co....

The yorubas and other tribes that have issues with the oba of Benin would always use the screenshot to support their claims that the oba of Benin is a yoruba man, not until you ask them, if there is any trace of yoruba titles or names or even idols in the oba palace that can trace that the oba of Benin is a yoruba man, then they will be left dumbfounded

so because Obagodo has a meaning in yoruba, therefore he is yoruba?

if obagodo is from ife, how come oduduwa that founded ife came 1050 plus but obagodo reigned 40 BCE ?

Is it that u guys are so stupid in that region?

so ife already existed before oduduwa found it ?
so obagodo have to go to benin from ife to formed benin while his 32 lineage oduduwa after a thousand years later have to return back to found ife again

Benin Never owned Lagos

Benin cannot Swim and Benin cannot Canoe

If not for the Itsekiri Yorubas with Ijebu roots that ferried Benin to Lagos Island, We promise you that the Ijebus would have drowned them all in the Atlantic Ocean

You know that the Ijebus don't have patience for nonsense

The Awori and Lagos were under Oyo

when Benin were granted a small corner of Lagos Island from where the sold Slaves to the Portuguese

Are you aware the name ijebu was unintentionally given to them by the edo people but your leaders won't tell you because it has a sad background attached to it, the Benins had always raided the ijebu people for sacrificial slaves for our idols and so when the European inquired about them, the Benin said oo, you mean the tubu people this were the sound they made when the Benins dropped their corpse inside the river, and the European corrupted tubu to ijebu

Even the Ogiso dynasty and Igodomigodo was founded by Ile Ife




If Ooni of Ife turns up in benin and Claims the Throne and Kingdom of benin he too is also right


Ok, Let us look at the praise names of oba of benin

One of it is
Abieyuwa N'Ovbi Odua N'uhe
The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife).
(Odua of Ife is the same as oduduwa of Ife)

Another of oba of benin's praise names is

Ovbi' Adimila
The son of Adimila
oduduwa was also known as Olofin Adimula
Which was his Title

Notice there is no mention at all of any Ekhalerderhan of Igodomigodo or izoduwa a whole Crown Prince of Benin that got lost and the renowned Accomplished Benin Palace Praise singers are not at all interested in his case
It can only be a lie

They did not mention and neither are they looking for the lost Ekhalerderhan .

izoduwa too is not happening anywhere in oba of benin's praise names but they called Oduduwa , the great Odua of Ife his Father

So with their own mouths they themselves have already given the evidence that fully demolished and destroyed their case which had no legs to stand on in the first place and have confirmed with your own Mouth that the oba of benin was indeed oduduwa's Son
