Christistruth00: Have you ever asked yourself why the Ooni of Ife will vacate his seat for any Oba of Bini to seat whenever the Oba visits. Because the Prince of Ogiso became the first Oba in Ile Ife. He later sent his son to become Oba in Bini because he couldn't return back to Benin. |

Omobude244: Obagodo of Ile Ife also Founded Igodomigodo now known as Benin and the Ogiso dynasty The same Ogiso dynasty which you said born Izoduwa and Ekhalerderhan that got lost 31 Ogiso ruled between Obagodo and Owodo who you claim was the Father of Ekaladeran of Igodomigodo Kingdom that got lost and was found as Izoduwa 2 Likes 1 Share

sotall: I said Oduduwa was Born at Oke Ora in Ife L 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 There is nothing left to drag because it is settled 4 Likes 1 Share |

thinkmoney:I think you should read how you are being economical with the truth. What is in contention is that he was reportedly caught to have lied outrightly by saying the Bini founded Lagos. If he did as little as owned up to what the late Oba Akenzua said then it would make sense. On conquest, it happened several centuries after the Yoruba owners of the land had ran their land and the battle between the landowners Yoruba Aworis and the Bini is not in anyway different from the ones the Ibadan waged against the Egba or the Oyo against Dahomey, it didn't make the Ibadan man lie that they own Abeokuta or the Oyo claim that they founded Dahomey. Not even the Fulani are brazen enough to lie that they founded Ilorin. The problem with the bini now is the lie that they founded Lagos or own the land. They don't. Till as recent as 2nd republic, the Oba of Lagos doesn't own land in Lagos for this reason and the case has been decided in court. The Yoruba was in error of seeing the bini as relatives so it was not seen as an external aggressor against the Yoruba then. Finally, from the history of Lagos and Lagos state, you can now see that for as long as this lie stands, the Oba of Lagos seat may be perceived as ceremonial while paramount rulers like Akran of Lagos, Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Elepe of Epe and direct descendants of Ogunfunminire who are the idejos ( landowners) may become elevated than him. It's unfortunate that this lie is exposing the revered Oba of Lagos as a descendant of a settler. It's unfortunate but that's what the Oba of Benin's brazen attempt to revise history as done. Very uncomfortable. Oonirisa counselled them against going into twisted history because they don't know the true history. The Yoruba are very clever and sophisticated people, our forebears had the foresight that you will come with twisted tales and lies someday so they documented information and built structures to preserve our history. The Yoruba founded Lagos, own Lagos and will forever own it. That's the fact! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Let us tell you the Pre Oduduwa History of Lagos when Benin was not on anyone's Radar Screen 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J7SXJzGuLM?si=r9vlK6L3Z4NEXAEn

thinkmoney: Binis never conquered Eko. It was founded by the Binis because of its close proximity to the Ocean which was vital for trade with the British. Other Yorubas joined the trade and they were made to pay royalties to the Oba of Bini. There might be other Yorubas in other parts before the Binis came but not Eko. The name was given to it by the Binis |
