There was nothing like Yoruba in history so any write up based on addressing it as Yoruba is null and void. What existed in the past were settlements of modern day Igala and Yoruba whom the slaves of same origin identified as "Lukumi" an Igala phrase for "My Friend". The present day Yoruba translation is "Oremi" . The equivalent of Benin then was Oyo before Yoruba was created by the returnee slaves and Europeans by merging related groups together under one umbrella and adopting Oyo as their general language. |

The first Oba of Ile Ife was a Bini Prince who left Bini Kingdom during a dispute/fight for the throne. The same Ife Yoruba people trace their origin to. |

Who take Oba Ewure or Ewuare serious don't have time. Yoruba has a well documented history that have stood the test of time. Even before the advent of the history books, we have alo and itan told by our fathers and forefathers. "Ti Omode o ba ba itan, a ba aroba, aroba sini ni baba itan" Lagos history isn't something we should even debate 1 Like 1 Share |

FreeStuffsNG:The Kingdom of Benin was a major center of learning and trade, but in the 17th century, it also became a major source of slaves for the colonization of the Americas. From the 15th century, however, Benin was famous for its "bronze" sculptures, which were made from metal rings called manillas imported by the Portuguese. The sculptures often portrayed eminent people in a unique style, and thousands were stolen and exported around the world after the kingdom was conquered by Britain in 1897. The region then became part of colonial Nigeria and then part of independent Nigeria in 1960; Nigeria has called for the "Benin bronzes" to be returned to the country |

Abagworo: LOL The name Yoruba was mentioned along 12 other tribal names by Ibn Baba, a Timbuktu scholar and writer of “Mi'raj al-Su’ud”, written in the year 1615. At this time, it has not entered any European source where returning slave would have picked it. You may have to update your "blind spot" as regard this. 1 Like 1 Share |

FreeStuffsNG:The king may have not mentioned it the correct way, but what is the fact and that does happen often in ancient time is that Benins defeated Lagos and confiscated it. They set up a monarchy that became the focal point of Lagos. Lagos paid tributes for more than 300years. This is an acceptance of Benin lordship over Lagos. Benins were effectively the landlord (may not be landowners) of Lagos all those time. It’s only in 1860, about 150 years ago that Lagos got independence from Benin when they stopped paying tax and tributes to them after political wranglings. Still, the royal house in Eko now which is still arguably the most important in the whole of Lagos is of Benin ancestry. This are the facts. No need to drag issues unnecessarily 1 Like |

Christistruth00:Una no sabi history. Una just dey look at history from the prism of those Yoruba abija wara bi ekun movies. Warri was an ally of Benin. Warris force is effectively the naval force of Benin. Benin had overwhelmingly influence and control over this people. Wetin be the meany of people fit swim and people no fit swim? I believe I think ear then like u see in Yoruba films is made up of like ten people against some 15people carrying only jazz. War then was the movement of thousand of people with armor, helmets, guns, few horses (as it’s the case with Benin), spears and hundreds of Boats of different sizes. 1 Like |

All this wahala started when politicians put in division in d guise of MC warning Igbos not to come out to vote, now there is claim n counter claims on d same Lagos. We need other cities, so this emphasis on Lagos go end, if them want to cook n eat the Lagos, they then can. |

Everything still boils down to the Bini's being the founder of the then Eko,they collected taxes, they were the lord's of the manor on the days of yore. Case closed. All the oldest history books quoted were written in the 20th century meanwhile the Benin Empire has been since the 11th century till the dawn of the 19th century. 1 Like |

Why are they referring to history books, I thought history has been totally scrapped from Nigeria's educational curriculum! Confused nation with confused leaders who thought that scrapping history will pepper the easterners. A nation that doesn't know it's history can ever ever move forward.
