Why are people so ignorant to listen attentively before commenting. he came with a positive motive to address some issue relating to peace and unity.. not to argue or create controversy but for education purpose and unity. You also see his sense of humor too ..Listen to the full interview before commenting. If it’s a white man, Nigerians prefers to give them credit and reject their own assentor which are authentic. Nigeria was created, same goes to America and others.. that doesn’t mean people were not there before Christopher Columbus or lord lugard. We are all one Nigeria and should be proud of our heritage
Then the Oba should have said Bini came to Eko, met Yoruba's there already, integrate ourselves into the community and contributed to the development of Eko. 😎
Your have already contradict yourself already my with your own comment. Too much of everything is bad their proudness alone too much like say nah dem get d whole of Nigeria and African as whole. The same wen make us hate British because dem colonize us nah Oba dey talk proudly e nor make sense now at all my brother
@@solalusi3602why is it that when you are moving from the mainland to the island you will see “ This way to Eko” there are two Eko the mainland for the awori and the island created by the Benin people. You can wail you can’t change history
This is very correct. The oba of Benin said the truth
Hope you now understand what you called the truth correctly
LIES
@@user-fp5hq5kj2blol what is a lie actually?
I like what this oba say i am an igbo from asaba lagos belongs to Benin not jagaban yoruba will cry blood even sawuolu is crying in front of oba this man speaks truth
You Igbos are too biased, come out and clam Lagos with your father...
@@gootv1816foolish man did I say igbo have lagos? Oba say his father is the owner of lagos yoropig
The Oba just wants to identify with his kinsmen from the other side. Benins and Yorubas share the same ancestry. We are the same people. It’s something worth celebrating. We should celebrate our unity.
We are not one the blood is different bro
Wrong! Not all Benins share a common ancestry with the Yorubas and visa versa.
We are not the same people at all, we are different in behavior, culture and tradition. go and study their history and Yoruba history. the binis have been existing before the birth of Eweka, the Yoruba prince. the same thing with Lagos, Lagos had been existing before the Binis forcefully settled in a place called Eko. Don't let anyone fool anybody. No more usurping.
@@tvtiwai diSagree . Go to Ekiti or Ondo you will know we r the same people. Yoruba of Oyo are a different stock that were heavily influenced by Nupe, Bariba, Hausa , and so forth
Lagos mainland was created by Benin
The Obas are the custodian of custom and traditions. So basically when a King like the Oba of Bini, His Royal Majesty, spesks, he does so from facts and figures. What we must try to do is to set out a date for the celebration of the relationship between Eko and the Benin people. I am so proud of our Great Oba.
Facts and figures that suits him
You need to find a date between Oba of Benin and parts of Isale Eko, NOT LAGOS
Story!
Tinubu made modern Lagos everybody wants to associate with Lagos. Why did Oba ran away from Isale Eko where they were in the first place to now come back to claim where they ran away from.
Dont understand the superiority complex of some Yorubas. The current Oba of Lagos is a Benin descendant it is not up for debate. The truth is that Lagos had places that were Yorubas territory and benin territory before the british came. Today Lagos has been designated as south west and Benin territory has been reduced to what it is today. Going by today's reality Yorubas have the sole legitimate claim of the ownership of the land, but this should not change the history of the land.
@greennv586 you are a funny guy! Now you want to blame the victim of "one Nigeria". Isn't that the spirit of unity, that you can go anywhere and develop anyplace legally, especially swamps and bushes! You should praise him and not disposes him 🙄
Long live our great Oba of great Benin Empire
Oba gha tor kpere iseeee iseeee. So gentle, accomondative to all bodies dat respect de our's religions. God bless u all ijn 🙏🙏🙏🥰 my great King from our great Edo ,Bini kingdom .Oba gha tor kpere iseeee iseeee
Isee Amen 🙏🏾 🙌🏾
If his royal highness the oba of Benin will travel to lagos seat with the governor of lagos told him that lagos belong to benins and no oba from yoruba land came out to defend it shows that lagos belong to benins
I am so grateful
Just the way Edo belongs to the Ichans
@@hamzatmoshood7675una don start again, why una be like dis?
Oba of Lagos already confirmed that Lagos was founded by the Benin his own ancestors
@@hamzatmoshood7675mugu, Esans and Benin’s are one.. from history same.. Binis, Esan, Afemai, urhobo,itsekiri agbor, are all Ediods family so stop saying rubbish, big phul
Lagos belong to Yorubas exclusively
What the Oba of Benin said is a blessing to the Yoruba people,the Oba of Benin also revealed the truth that the Yoruba people are the original inhabitants and owners of Lagos with his statement,because if the Benin people did not met people in Lagos,the Oba of Benin will not say the Benin own a part of Lagos,he will say they own the entire Lagos,saying the Benin people own a part of Lagos indicates that Lagos has been in existence before the Benin people came to Lagos and there were people already living in Lagos,it is not possible to own a part of a land,a tribe can either own the whole land or not own the land.Two tribes can not own the same land.The Oba of Benin actually solved the problem of the origin of Lagos with his statement.The Awori people own Lagos legitimately,they are the are the first inhabitants of Lagos.Thank you Oba of Benin for saying the truth,i appreciate you
His Royal Majesty, the Oba of Benin came to Lagos to visit his people. Now it would only be appropriate to further strengthen the existing synergy between Lagos and Edo, by setting aside a day in the year to celebrate our Uniqueness
Balderdash.
LIES...there is no special connection between Lagos and Edo...long throat
When will you claim Onitsha, Warri, Port harcourt? Dindnt you say a Bini prince found those places too?
Brilliant communication from my OBA.
You have to listen to the speech. The Oba of Benin spoke Yoruba briefly. He was saying that he came to Lagos to see his Yoruba family, that Tinubu is his in-law, and was happy to see him as president. He referred to Yoruba and Benin as tongue and teeth in the mouth...was preaching peace and unity
Respectfully, both the Oba of Lagos and the Oba of Benin are only partially correct. The Benins conquered and forcefully imposed taxation on the existing inhabitants of Lagos island known as Eko” sometime back in 1550 A.D. This led to the instalment of Ashipa who unfortunately died before he could be installed as Oba. Upon his demise his son Ado was crowned as the first Oba of Lagos island “Eko” in 1630 A.D. The early fathers of the Lagos royal family as part of our history and lineage can be traced back to the Benin royal family. However, due to the centuries of intermarriage with the Yorubas our blood line is purely Yoruba our early forefathers/ancestors a distant memory. Hence the shared history with the people of Benin. The conquest did not extend to the entirety of Lagos as a state. Lagos was already well established, flourishing and inhabited by many Yoruba tribes before the conquest of the Benin people. I can attest to this as a true Lagosian and a member the of Isale Eko royal family. People need to get educated and stop trying to rewrite history.
Good. But how does one "found" a place that was already "established". From you narration, all you did was counter the Oba. You're simply unconsciously saying that Benin at a certain time controlled a part of Lagos, but never founded any part of it since he met it already established. I'm not saying this, I'm only making you aware of your statement
Was it not Benin that name the land Eko ? So what was the people you called inhabitants calling that place before the coming Benin that collected tributary from the other people you mentioned.
Firstly, the name Eko is formerly "Ereko", there are European texts documenting this. Ori means head and pronounced "erí" in awori, Ijebu and several other Yoruba dialects including some dialects in present day Osun state. Oko universally means farm. "Eri oko" or "Ereko" was a pepper farm settlement later pronounced Eko. It is Yoruba. Do your findings & you will find other Ekos in parts of south west where Binis never stepped foot. The name was adopted to Bini lingo to mean camp because that was what Eko was for the Bini Oba i.e Bini's most famous war camp ever.
Secondly, Ikwerre land is today called Port Harcourt, they wear suits and their judges wear British wigs and gown during formal court proceedings, does that mean Ikwerre land was founded by the British? Also even Bini used to be Igodonigodo now in Yoruba meaning "Ile Ibinu (Ibini)", will you now say because of that naming Binin/Edo land was founded by Oranmiyan from Ile Ife?
The bins and aworis where already in logos before yoruba came in..
@@odantetv9460You know nothing. Don't confuse people. I am Awori by heritage through Prince Ogunfunminire of Ile-Ife that migrated from Ile-Ife with his people to Isheri-Olofin and later other parts of what's called Lagos now. The term "Awori" means "the clay plate sink", which is the sign IFA give him to first settle at a spot along their travel in a boat, anywhere the clay plate they were told to put on the river surface sink by itself. The first point that happened was Isheri Olofin. Olofin is connected to Ile-Ife. From that point, some of them migrated to different parts of Lagos. My own immediate ancestors ended up in Ikorodu. So, Aworis are from Ile-Ife as most Yorubas.
The royalty of Eko(core Lagos Island) is from Benin but the people's origin is Ife.The Aworis migrated from Ife.
Yorubas in Lagos need to respond to this STRONGLY. The title Oba of Lagos connotes owning Lagos just like governor of Lagos. The CORRECT title is Eleko of Isale Eko, and Lagos state government should do what is needful IMMEDIATELY. Of the 51 kings or so in Lagos, 50 of them claim EXCULUSIVELY that they are Yoruba people
This one pains some people too much,Oba has told them bitter truth which they don't want to hear😂😂😂😂😂
Which one is the bitter truth?
Pls be specific.
Nothing new Oba said o.
Oba himself is a descendant of Oduduwa. You know where they called eko, it's Idumota , that's why Benin did camp and left. Now Yorubas, Egba, Ijebu Awori, Ekiti etc have come and organized Lagos now everybody want to associate by force.
Hahaha! Can Oba of Benin even claim the ownership of entire Edo State. The Ichans, Itsakors etc will tell him to face his Benin
@@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz the sleepless injection he gave to some lazy people who are now riping where they did not sow
Who first came does not matter! Who owns America today - Alaska and Hawaii Inclusive? Oba of Benin should come clean because Yoruba and the Binis are Oduduwa descendants.
Oba of Benin coming to Lagos make a statement like that is a serious violation. It deserves a FORCEFUL response. All the Obas in Lagos should come together and make a strong statement. Give Oba of Lagos 21 days to join his family in Benin or they will forcefully remove him. Lagos state government can also abolish the throne or change the title Oba of Lagos to Eleko of Isale Eko, or Baale of Idumagbo. This MUST not go unanswered.
After the whole oba do what you have said then they will receive the wrath of the gods. 💥😠
I like the way that the Oba of Benin told the governor of Lagos and indeed every Yoruba's to their face that Lagos belong to the Benins. Today, the strangers (Yorubas in Lagos) who now occupy the political sit of power are using their political power to chase away and destroy the properties the properties of non-indigenes (such as Igbo's) and they even prevented Igbo's as well as non-yoruba's from voting during the last elections. I believe the visit of HRM Oba of Benin is to re-emphasize on history to the yoruba's. This is just a gentle reminder to the yoruba's now claiming to be the owners of Lagos. Meanwhile over 95% of such yoruba's are not the real owners of Lagos as they are not of the Awori's stock and therefore are not qualified to be called owners of Lagos State. They also came to settle down in Lagos state just like the igbo's of South-east and indeed every other person residing in Lagos state today.
You need to check your map very well, you will discover that lagos is located on the soil of the south west surrounded by ogun state and Atlantic ocean and for your information yoruba has no issues with the Benin people because historically we have a common heritage.
This is all bollocks you know?
True talk. The ignorant Yourbas do not know their history. Most. Yourbas claiming Lagos state do not have their leanage in Lagos.
@@godsgeneral9453 we are not talking about geo-political zone here but we are talking about the real owners of Lagos State (they are the Benin's and the Awori's) and why the strangers of Lagos State (that is, non-Awori's of Yoruba's) should stop destroying the properties of fellow strangers in Lagos state. They can do that in their respective states like Osun State (Tinubu's state), Oyo state, Ogun state, etc and they should leave people in Lagos State (the centre of excellence) to breathe.
@@paturch7201tell us your state maybe what Oba said will enter your head if I give you examples.
Can Oba of Benin even claim the ownership of entire Edo? The Ichans will tell him to only be eating his gari in Benin his kingdom o.
And Oba put the history well but you guys want to start false narrative.
Tell me your state let me give you examples.
Our Great king of Benin Kingdom may you live long, Our Great OBA of Benin Kingdom.
Am happy the oba of Benin made it clear that lagos was founded by the bini
Nothing new Oba said o.
Oba himself is a descendant of Oduduwa. You know where they called eko, it's Idumota , that's why Benin did camp and left. Now Yorubas, Egba, Ijebu Awori, Ekiti etc have come and organized Lagos now everybody want to associate by force.
Hahaha! Can Oba of Benin even claim the ownership of entire Edo State. The Ichans, Itsakors etc will tell him to face his Benin
Core of Lagos was not founded by the Benin, but they took rulership of Lagos from the awori through conquest and power. The original settlers of Lagos is the Awori"s
Oba is very right. Lagos was also part of Benin Empire
❤
When the wicked is on the throne
The people are confused and suffer
Benin Can be linked to only Lagos island. Awori's and other has been in other parts of Lagos before the arrival of Benin. So Benin never found Lagos because they met lots of indigenous people on Lagos island
Oba of Lagos actually said he is from Benin-city
I hope the next Governor of Lagos is like WIKE.
Channel you're still addressing our Oba with his birth name
There is a difference between Lagos mainland and Island. And in Lagos Island, there are about 12 Islands there. The area that Oba of Benin is talking about is less than 1/1000 of total Lagos landmass.
Wonders shall never end . Where did the binis came from to found Lagos that the Aworis and Eguns were not already in Ereko (Eko) ? Selective Twist of History can not and will never stand in The History of Facts . All the Royal House and Nobles of Binins are from IFE which is the cradle of Yorubas .
So the Yorubas established Lagos (Eko) with the Yorubas known as Aworis , Anagos and Eguns. What is the Origin of the Oba of Benin ? Where did his Accesstors come from? He is from IFE. .....QED.
I onky have few questions,
If they discover Lagos, why did they relocate to present Benin kingdom?
Who leaves a coastal land with more Viability for trade and economic growth to Hinterland with less economic development?
They did not leave lagos.. the Benin soldiers only left to fight the war with the British people when they invaded Benin.. they ended of losing the war, oba ovhoramen was deported to Calabar. So Benin was without king and lagos was without king to rule their subjects.. so that’s how the British took over and turned lagos to their colony and everything changed.
Right
Your answer
Benin was already an empire before lagos was founded
Benin had his own sea port at gelegele where the Portuguese first landed in west Africa
The Portuguese where the first European to venture into the territory now known as Nigeria and tge Western coast of Africa.
Meaning the first European that landed in Nigeria Western African landed in gelegele thus Benin empire where the first to have contact with European.
The expansion goal of oba oroghua lead to the discovery of the coastal line of lagos.
Surprising to the Portuguese who never was the land nor occupy what is now lagos.
Thus Benin founded a new coastal port of Eko now lagos.
Benin empire might also ment they owns the water line of what now cover the West African coast line which is why it was names the bight of Benin.
Fact
We founded eko And it opens up new trade route to the youroba region .
And over the century became the landing port for European instead on the first landing port at Gelegele sea port in Benin.
Oba of the nucleus of Lagos state cannot lay claim to any significant piece of Land even within the nucleus of Lagos Island. Bini own Lagos my foot!!!!
It is in history book that Benin conquered with war in which the real settlers aworis & egun. If this is definition of (found) to Benin without considering the Aworis as founder. One need to check carefully all other places where they claimed to founding over. By this definition& claims that means Oranmiyan also found Benin .Ibadan found Warri. Fulani found Auchi.
😂😂 stop crying like a baby my friend the truth is bitter. We just need to accept it the way it's. Has a literate human being you're supposed to know the difference between conquered and found. The Oba wasn't referring to the hole of lagos also didn't say conquered. He said found which means the benins didn't encounter war with anyone there and the history didn't say the ijebu fought war with the benins there in history of lagos. So stop saying conquered. beside If u go through the map of Nigeria u would also see it there too. Painted with inked from benin striate down to logos.
Have u also ask yourself why there's no Bight of Yoruba in map of Africa. Infact, before the colonial masters came there was nothing like Yoruba. It was Samuel Ajayi crowther that bring the ijebu and some other tribes together and name them Yoruba.
The Aworis were conquered and what happens to a conquered lands? The conquerors owns the place. Stop it, just stop 🛑 the revisionism.☝️
@@james56660 stop deceiving yourself bro. The Aworis didn't fought any war with the Benin and we the Benins didn't have it in our history. Like I said before stop corrupting history. This is the reason why Obasanjo remove history from Nigeria curriculum just to feed their next generation with lies. They personally remove history from our school curriculum then tell some individual who called themselves professor to go and be put fake history on Google and Wikipedia.
We the Benins don't rely on Google and Wikipedia when it comes to history bcos we have our way of keeping history. (by our artifact) That's the reason the Portuguese called us the cradle of black civilization and the centre of the world (Edorisiagbon). Base on what they see
For ur information, all the days buhari visited benin we mk a record for it and also mk an artifact for it too. Same thing would also happen when Tinibu would also visit. So stop playing.
Oranmiyan's father was a benin prince called Ekhaladeran who escaped from being executed by his father, Ogiso Ewedo. When he was crowned in Ile Ife, he took the title Izoduwa (an Edo word for I have chosen a path of prosperity). Izoduwa, pronounced as Oduduwa through Yoruba intonation, was an Edo man. Oranmiyan had an Edo father and a Yoruba mother. Ancestry is through paternal bloodline, not through maternal bloodline. As such, Oranmiyan was a descendant and a continuation of the dynasty of King Igodo, the first king of Igodomingodo which was renamed Edo by Oba Ewuare the first.
I do not understand a lot of Yoruba people, always trying to distort history,as an Edo child, we are told right from youth that Benin founded Lagos,the Oba of Benin is just emphazing that,the problem of Nigeria is that,we have lost our history ,and of course children born from 1990-date would have no idea about the history of Nigeria. @@naphtaliobanor1454
People should understand with him. He said the new close, generations have passed before today. A lot has taken place before this present generation. So, people should try trace history.
Of all the roughly 52 kings or so in Lagos, about 51 of them claim Yoruba heritage. The claim that Edo found "nucleus of Lagos" is hearsay....
WITH OR WITHOUT ANY COMMENT WE SUCCEEDED AND SUPERSEDED LAGOS FINAL IN ANOTHER WORD WE FLY EVEN THO WE AIN'T FLY ON THE AIR PLANE ✈ WE STILL FLY DIG. THANK YOU 🚶
Benin people think they own everywhere they have stepped into or have relationship with.
Germany Angles-Saxons people and Danish warriors vikings ,even the French monarchy once came to occupy Britain but they are not saying they founded Britain.
Nothing new Oba said o.
Oba himself is a descendant of Oduduwa. You know where they called eko, it's Idumota , that's where Benin did camp and left. Now Yorubas, Egba, Ijebu Awori, Ekiti etc have come and organized Lagos now everybody want to associate by force.
Hahaha! Can Oba of Benin even claim the ownership of entire Edo State. The Ichans, Itsakors etc will tell him to face his Benin
75% of today lagos was carved out of the old western region, which is yoruba land, the remaining 25% which is mainly on the island belong to federal government when lagos was still the capital of Nigeria, lagos is geographically located on the soil of the south west, Nigeria and is bounded by ogun state and Atlantic ocean, i know lagos indigenes has relationship with the benin people especially in the past, the nucleus of lagos in contention is even 5% of the current lagos state and should not be used to decide who owns lagos.
The Oba never mentioned ownership. He said founded. The British founded Nigeria, they don't own Nigeria. No matter what the nucleus of Lagos may be today, history is history.
@@suwee01+ Actually the Edo king 🤴 meant conquered by the Edos. Eko is a Edo word meaning barracks cuz the Edo soldiers were quartered there. Lagos State does belong to the Edos historically. It was not a Yoruba land.☝️
No matter how u paint it. The fact still remain that lagos island belong to the Benin. They named it and put a ruler there. Which other prove did u guys want. It was the creation of Nigeria that mk lagos fall under western region. The reason most of u guy comes online and argued with us is that alot of u always do ur research on Google. And alot of ur people have been trying to change our history by Google and Wikipedia.
@@rollinshubby3437 + Exactimom. The Yorubas revision here on Lagos State being for Edos is laughable.☝️
@@james56660 lol look at you. I'm from Benin, directly descended from Obanosa, I greet Lamogun. If you know anything about Bini culture, you should know what that means. The Oba never said Lagos, how much more Lagos State belongs to the Edos. In fact, he made a clear distinction between the Lagos he referred to, and Lagos State. Lagos State is a political structure made up of several kingdoms. The Oba of Lagos who descends from Benin is not the Oba of Lagos State. What the Oba said couldn't be clearer.
Benin people are not indigenous to any part of Lagos.The Benin Empire conquered and colonized the old Lagos for a while before they were eventually evicted by the Awori indigenous people through a series of war of independence long before the advent of the British.
Big 🤥 🤥 lie.
Awori dialect is a mix of bini and yoruba. we are the same people
@@adamsc9049 Not true.
You You are a deaf person, you should go to read history very well about lagos before talking nonsense. You think the oba just cook his story and say it like that Without evidences. Bini founded lagos
I won't drag the oba of Benin but if I may ask, what is the meaning of Oba, in Yoriba, it means king. Yoruba owns and founded Benin as Oba od Benin is one of sons of Oduduwa
Bini is the last born of Oduduwa.
This is what happened to Yoruba due to their accommodating ,they accommodate visitors than their own people a lot ,moreover Yoruba dominate Lagos,you can't jump from Ondo,Osun and Ibadan to claim Lagos because you have pass through the yoruba territory,I think it is the time for yoruba to wake from their slumber,did you know how Yoruba stretch through africa,even to Ghana, Berlin conference contribute to segregation of Yoruba race, Yoruba is a largest indigenous group in Africa, Yoruba language is different to Benin language,they may have relationship in the past,but that doesn't mean benin own Lagos , everything is just fabricated hmmm 🤔
Shut you trap ,i heard there over 80 million Yoruba in Brazil, stupid set of tribe
Mumu.... Was it not the British that created Yoruba.. is there anything called Yoruba... It was British that created Yoruba to reduce the Benin kingdom influence
But you mumu oooo... How Yoruba dey ake be the largest ethnic group in Africa
@@greennv586did you need to insults someone before you contribute to your opinion
Hmmm it takes a while for ignorant people to understand ,if you know about the history of the great Oyo empire ,before British arrival ,you will know that Yoruba is a nation and a great kingdom that has already have a system of government before the arrival of the British colonies,you people are just rambling on baseless narrative, I'm a Yoruba indigene,I study history,you can't narrate my history more than I know .
When don't you go and claim Benin Republic since you have Yoruba over there Mr accommodator, the fact that Yoruba is in Southwest makes it your own
They only settle on little island call isale eko or iga iduganran and during their arrival they met "Aromire" an OLOFIN son who is a fisher.
oba of Benin comments on this issue is just a polical talk and game among the elites played the gullibles and the zombies. have you forgot this same oba said Benin kingdom was founded by Yoruba the son of oduduwa during his first meeting with Hrh ogungunlusi enitan the Oni of ife.
On this issue;the fist settlers and true land owner of lagos as a whole both the island and major part of the mainland are the OLOFIN's children why you see oba akinolu or any of benin origin never owned piece of land in Lagos either in the island or any part of the mailand except one buying from the children of OLOFIN the first settler and the true land onwer.
Oba bini, himself is Yoruba,
I also hate flights 🛫
Yorubas own Lagos
And Awori founded Lagos
Lagos belongs to Aworis (a dialect of Yoruba) Egun, and to some extent Egbas, Ijebus because of trade, proximity and centuries of settling in sorrounding communities. Binis are not "river" or "water" people. To get to Lagos Island, they would need the help of Ijaws or Ilajes, etc,, otherwise, they have to fly over entire Yorubaland to Land in Lagos. The claim is spurious and hard to believe
Benin only owns the the town of Lagos not Lagos as a state
❤❤
That’s correct. And that’s what the oba said
Benin did not founded Lagos, Benin warriors came to a place where there were other people already living in the environment and made their potion of the place their camp which is today Lagos Island.
That is what the oba said
@@crownedking2567 they found lagos island and also they oba of Benin collected tax in lagos island through his representative oba of lagos for 200 years before they lost lagos to the British.
Where's the town that is called Lagos,where they settled is an area, which is called Lagos Island
So who now chased the Benins out of Lagos without any trace of their Language in Lagos,is Benin sharing boundary with Lagos
Let benis move to lagos now
Oba of Lagos (Oba of Isale Eko is the appropriate title) He does not even have authority over all of Isale Eko.
Nigeria is big but too small to accommodate your subjects that are seeking asylum in smaller countries 😂😂😂 . These people
People, country are discovery and inventing and building new technology but Nigeria are discovery state and village
As The Almighty God Jehovah lives and reigns from everlasting to everlasting, the enemies of the Yorubas shall be made our footstools. Those who think they can bully us and say anything to belittle or humiliate us shall be disgraced and put to eternal shame and condemnation. God Almighty shall cause our enemies to bow and worship in the mighty name of Jesus (Amen). As I have decreed this, so shall it be.
Is there any trace of Edo ancestral language, culture, and traditions in Eko-Isale and around lagos today? Or do we have any? However, were the Binis people the first habitat in lagos? Although I might go to any new community to buy or own a land but that does not mean I founded the entire town if it became city tomorrow. There are other tribes living around the Isale-Eko before the Binis settled there, the Binis should stop all these claims of being the first to found a place or Royal seniority which they always claimed to be above Ilè-Ifẹ.
Oni of ife is a banished prince from Benin empire. The truth is coming soon
Thankfully is in the history dat oba of Benin is part of descendants of oduduwa
Somewhat cheeky, but did clarify that only certain parts of Lagos were founded by the Benin. and the word nucleus is relative the nucleus of a city changes as economic development takes place.
What the Oba should be apologizing for is the slaves his ancestors sold to the transatlantic slave trade for bronze which where used to mould the treasures this Oba and Benin kingdom are now crying to be repatriated. Not now causing further distortion of truth on who founded Lagos.
Those who have resulted in insulting our King and the Benin people are ignorant of the history of lagos and the Benin connection.
Our oba, with all humility, travelled down to lagos to pay a visit to the people of lagos state and the Benins. Even if he hadn't talked about it, journalists' present would've asked him since this argument has been trending for a very long time. Our King is not unlearned. He is very familiar with the history of his people.
Our King said not all lagos, but NUCLEUS of it. The nucleus is the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth.
Edo and the Yorubas are relatives from the same ancestors. We are not greedy people who want to claim or take procession of lagos, we are OK with Benin, our ancestors has already placed both tribes on world history book, know to everyone today, including the ones who's tribe history hasn't gone on world stage. If anyone chose to disrespect their Kings, we don't do that in Benin!
I thought oba of Benin does not travel now what's happening
I've read all the comments section and I'm shocked no one picked up the hint behind the Obas visit and his comments.
Nigerians is a shame don't have critical and analytical intelligence to read in between the lines.
Nucleus meaning
Historically, the natives of Lagos are the AWORIS.
This is a well known fact, nobody should dispute this.
During the reign of one of his ancestors, I think Orhogbua, Benin empire eventually spread to Lagos and they( the Benins) came in large numbers dominated and even founded the current royal dynasty of Lagos.
Saying that Benin founded Lagos, is like the British saying they founded Canada, Australia and New Zealand because before the British arrived there were already natives in these countries I mentioned.
The AWORIS own Lagos.
Not true. No revisionist theory here. The Edos from the Benin kingdom conquered Lagos state, the Aworis and all. The word Eko is a Edo word meaning Barracks. The Edo soldiers were so large that they were quartered in large encampments thus the word Eko. Just stop making up stuff and gassing yourself up thinking you are making any sense whatsoever.☝️
You are very correct 💯 @ Donatus
Benin gave the name Eko, Yoruba gave Benin its name (Ibinni), if Benin owns Lagos, then Yorubas own Benin. Its like you have a servant who owns a property, the master (Yoruba) owns the servant and the property of course.. so Yoruba owns Benin and Lagos altogether ..common sense!
Benin is a kingdom but Oyo is an empire! Thats why Benin is just a small group of people in a state but Yorubas extend beyond Nigeria, beyond Africa. The difference is clear
In terms of numbers and spread, which are the parameters to determine dominance, Yorubas are more than Benins weather in Lagos, Nigeria or in the world.
This story is in complete.
1. So what is the name of the head of the aworis that was incharge of the territory?
2. According to your story the Benin's moved to the land and met the aworis
- No war
- No enslavement
3. You can see from "2" above that it is not historically possible for the benins that was a powerful kingdom and into slave trade not to enslave the aworis.
4. How will the aworis allow the benins to enter there territory without war or calling there alies to secure them from the Benin's.
@@olufemiikuseru8005 + Bhahahahahahahaha. Buddy boy here twisting himself into a pretzel 🥨 trying to explain away his revisionist history of how things came to be for Lagos State. Dude,Eko is an Edo land.☝️😃😄😂😂😁😆🤣😀😀😃😄😁😆😆🤣😂😅
@@james56660 So if you conquered a place, it means you founded it, right?
Why so much division in Nigeria Benin are Ile ife now what's trying to establish that's new.
Dear Channel TV, the Oba of Benin is addressed as HRM Oba Ewuare II. John Momoh, the owner of Channel TV is from Edo state. You producers should now better. You can not hide or change history.
The record is now straight, everyone has heard from the hoses mouth, the people that discovered and settled in Lagos for the first time is Benin son, so if there’s any people that will stand and claim Lagos is Benin people, and Lagos was built with the money from oil in the south east, they now try to divide into south east and south south
He never said Lagos belongs to Benin. You people are too controversial & that's what the Oba was saying.
Some part 'nucleus' was founded by Benin.
UNA EYES DON CLEAR NOW..EKO
Why oba Binin not claim sambisa,you came for far place,even before you rich Lagos how many town you left
Try think and read before talking, your comments shows you lack knowledge
This oba of Benin has taken palm wine before coming to Lagos to say what's not real
Na you take palm wine..
You're very stupid
Be careful mister man
Shut your mouth
It pains you guys so m🎉😂😂😂
Lagos is owned by bini but fully commercialized by igbos. Yourbas only chance was its closeness to the land.
Nonsense talk
Channel TV, pls, pls, pls,,,,,correct the name of His Majesty......His Majesty is known as OBA EWAURE 11.....
Everyone want to calm Lagos.. bezc it's doing well,if it's order Way around.. what of shagisha forest 😂😂 Naija,it's well...
Again, I will say many people didn't know the difference between Lagos and Eko!!! Infant Oba of Lagos only has authority over Lagos Island.
Yes that’s correct. Lagos island is the lagos the oba was taking about. Which is the nucleus of Lagos
He doesn't even have any authority there again. They have run away from the Eko self
@@hamzatmoshood7675 yea the Benin doesn’t have authority anymore after the British took it over from them
Oba went to speak peace to lagos because of igbo's the igbos should be great full
What has igbo people got to do with this. The hatred you people have for igbos is unprecedented.
This oba of ile ibinu don sniff things b4 him begin scatter yan
The benins are yorubas, they are descendants of Oduduwa,the first king of Lagos,king Ado, was the son of one of the children of Oduduwa, however b4 the benins conquered a part of Lagos in the 15th centuries the Aworis and the olofins were the original occupants of that part of Lagos and all these people are yorubas. The Oba of benin knows within himself that his forefathers are Oduduwa descendants. Even looking at it holistically, is it not only fools that would say Lagos is not a yoruba land, everything about Lagos is yoruba, Language, Culturally, Geographically.therefore Lagos State nah Yoruba ppl get am o.
This man call The Oba 0:36 is looking for contract in Lagos. They have already spent millions to feed him while in Lagos
The truth is always bitter
What are u saying
Vagaban founded Lagos.
Qualified monarchs such as HRM Oba of Benin, Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos, Oba Akran of Badagry, Odunmu etc has said openly, that according to history, Lagos was a former colony of the former Benin Empire. However, Benin empire collapsed and shrunk, just like the former British empire collapsed and shrink to today's UK. These traditional monarchs are the rightful bloodline to tell us about history not their subjects/peasants. Although yooba people have their name, but the word Yoruba comes from the fulani word Yariba - meaning liar, manipulating, chameleonic or dishonest. If you know ANY Yoruba person, you would agree with the fulanis. They are a double edge sword, trust at your own peril. With that said, when the majority rule, they control the minorities. Today's Lagos is controlled and managed by the Yaribas. Unless the minorities fight back and pillage Eko again, they will never admit or submit Lagos to anyone. The keyword here is fightback to stire dialogue and peace. The country is too big and should be divided into three parts, so that everyone can have peace.
PERIOD.
I thank God for these visits. Now we know that Tinubu comes from Boronu and Shettima comes as well from Boronu. The man making mouth , I want him to hear how those he called as indigenous heritage were Fulanis that dwells in some portions of Lagos taking care of their cows. Eventually, people started calling that portions theirs. We are speaking something serious. Please ask the man to research because it is time truth be told to everyone. From the current prophet of Umuezumezu
In every comment section you must find an igbo man who lacks common sense spewing rubbish. What is it with you people and lack of common sense?
Hahah you dey sleep. You think bro ahmed came from Boronu???
You don’t like controversy but u are creating one with ur statement.
In addition to my previous comments the Yorubas who are commenting ignorantly are NOT from Lagos state. Instead of putting the same effort in researching rather than commenting ignorantly they will be better off educating themselves. OZOURS arguing about Lagos (Eko) thinking they know better than Oba of Lagos, Oba of Benin and the Awori leaders and rulers, such clowns 🤡 😂🤣.!
LAGOS BELONGS TO BENIN KINDOM,,UNA EYES DON CLEAR NOW ABI😢😢😢
You lied. The Benin people were invaders like the Fulanis of today. They were only campers on the areas or part of Lagos, that they settled. That still doesn't make them the owners of Lagos. You should ask your ill-informed Ọba about the entire Mainland in Lagos if that belongs to the Egbas & Aworis. He will run away from that side of the history. His journey to Lagos to collect his own Ghana must go & his fake outburst doesn't change anything about Lagos! So, all of you should go siddon jejely!
Oba of Benin, you can keep dreaming! 😂😂😂
Watin dey worry this goat na our Oba you dey talk to like that he be like say you want make your family cry for your head fool
@@OdionEgbon Oloscious ẹ̀dá....wetin do you? Don't be a slave to "dem say, dem say". Brush up your knowledge!

They are claiming what others built. Isn’t it stupid! 😂😂😂😂😂 why can’t he claim Makoko? 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Where are those first builders o, do they abandoned it? Now it is great and they want to claim it. Lol
Who made it great?… who brought the Portuguese in the 16th century for trade?
Oba ghator kpere isee
Sorry to say Oba please go and read history very well then you will know that the yoruba own Lagos Oba of Lagos did not know the history of Lagos
Sorry to say your ignorance is gigantic!!
So why did you people not put thesame evergy in claiming yoruba founded benin just by the mere fact that a Yoruba prince was the first oba in your town.......you fabricated a huge lie bu saying a banished prince named Ekalederan was our Oduduwa,and in obvious truth the same Ekaladerhan excape east side and founded a town called Ughoton and he also died there....how come the same Ekaladerhan was the one that miraculously appear in ile ife....why do you people lie this much....when prince ado and the itshekiri got to lagos island didn't they met some settlers their?( Aworis).....why claim you found a place that has inhabitants initially.... Yoruba founding your kingship,does that make yoruba the founder of ile ibinu?
Success is a good thing, o. When you are dong well everyone will try to claim you. If they can't claim you they will say you are "no man's land".
God didn't ordained tinubu jagaban become Nigeria president, INEC ordained tinubu
He's a wisdom man,he is not playing politics .he want to correct history
But he wouldn't agree his crown and his ancestor's crown came from ife, your ancestors were of yoruba descent, theyll disagree with that one oo and who cares who it belongs too, if they are sure about it they should come take it
The benins have already had 31 kings before the benin self exile Prince came to ife
@@bigiiyke2640 31 Ogisos not Obas.
Eweka was the first Oba of Benin and he is the son of Oramiyan, the Ife prince.
There is a shrine in Ife where the heads of the Obas of Benin were buried until the practice was stopped.
Why was this? because the Obas of Benin saw Ife as their home.
Don't let anyone deceive you.
@@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz You are so knowledgeable and I like that you know the history
@@bigiiyke2640 even if I were to concede that, the king responsible for that invasion that is always referred to was a descendant of the kings from ife, hence he was called oba.
@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz when the British man did an excavation and a French man also did an excavation there was nothing there they only found old plates and charcoals stop your lies and propaganda
Lol even Oba no know history ..
I guess Oba Benin is talking from the other side of this brains. Lagos belongs to Yorubas( Awori family as founder).
With all due respect , you are a foolish being from an unknown idiots to put such a comment upon your forefathers down to your generation grow up fool and stop the hate & superiority concept . Don’t fail your generation because your forefathers failed you.freedom of speech doesn’t give you the right to insult your parents
The name yariba was given to you by the hausas, which was later translated to yoruba by Bishop ajayi crowther, the name yoruba is not up to 200years of existence
Is OBA OF BINI not a Yoruba man himself
Thank God the revered Oba said Eko is called camp in Benin Language, But Benin's are not the actual founder of Lagos Island 🏝️ which is the Nucleus the Oba is talking about, Eko was a short form of Erèko (Farmstead) in Yoruba language which is been used by the Iddo Prince, Prince Aromire for there pepper 🌶️ plantation. Nevertheless we have Aborigines that leave on Lagos Island 🏝️ before the coming of the Ibini people.
We can't say they are not part of the settler's of the Island 🏝️ which is just a Nucleus of lands in Lagos.
If Ibiini's (Benin) are to be the real founder of Lagos, which they have jumped series of states without founding that place be4 reaching Lagos, the likes of Ondo, in particular Ilaje Ese-Odo, Ogun State today is a state that have borderlands with Ondo State, U Ibiini(Benin kingdom 👑) doesn't claims those State and lands, be rest assured that migration is has been long has human being existence, we can't do away with your people been migrated to those Nucleus of Lagoon Island 🏝️...
To made it clear, An Iddo Man precisely Prince Aromire (An Awori) were the settlers of this Island 🏝️ before the migration of the Ibini (Benin worriors)..
Lagos state is founded by the Benin, he said don't turn it upside down
Try understand history before talking, back then there was nothing like roads, it is alot closer to Benin than to any yoruba state. And dont forget Benin was an empire with many territories.
@@stellaofili3135 It was not founded by the Ibini's (Benin's), so be guided..
@@theluckyfamilyvlog4538 I knew it wasn't connected by major road 🛣️ then, but this people have a part from Village to Villages that they used to do business within themselves, and Benin's and Yorubas have History in from tym immemorial, so saying it was closer to each other then doesn't mean there were no boundaries with the Yoruba territories and the Ibini's (Benin's) territories, the likes of Ilaje Isale-Odo, Epe, and other towns in the Riverine areas are there from time immemorial...
@@user-gz3cp7ig9bthe benin name it Eko, now you tell me what was the name before the benins came?
EKO has always been Yoruba. I am from Lagos for generations and we are Yorubas not from Benin or Awori. Why are people trying to suddenly trying to distort history. Maybe we the Yorubas need to assert ourselves more
Sorry to disappoint you. Awori people are also Binis
The is the meaning of yoruba?
Wy are you crying
Where's tinubu the career criminal and his wife theif Remi who wants to steal Obi's properties.
