Oba Akinolu never debunk what the presenter said. He agreed with the opening statement of the presenter which is the fact! Eko is not a Yoruba word and no any Yoruba word has Eko in it, it's doesn't mean anything in Yoruba. Eko is a Benin language and it's means a peaceful environment. Lagos was actually name by the Portuguese that discovered Eko in 1472 before the arrival of the Awori who migrated from Ile-Ife between 1550-1555. In reality, the Portuguese were more Lagosians than the Awori people, in fact the Benin name Eko, the Portuguese name Lagos, so owns Lagos? The first Eleko of Eko was the son of Oba of Benin, that was the Asipa, he died and was buried in Benin, the second Oba of Lagos was also buried in Benin before the Kosoko who rebelled against the kingdom alone with the British in 1830. It's a pity that History was not allowed to be a subject in Nigerian Schools. We are loosing value, even the current Obas of some kingdom does not understand their history anymore. 😢😢😢
Bini never conquered Lagos. If they did, How did they get to Lagos and how come they never conquered Ijebu and Ondo.. How did Bini get to Lagos ? African people need to start using their heads
How come you people don't respect your elders nowadays. A king who's old enough to be your grand father is talking. You are commenting nonsense. Listen and learn!
Lagos is a Neighbouring state to edo okay even the first oba of lagos is a bini Prince okay...even ondo was under our supremacy ..and the name eko was named by the bini
Which truth made up and fake write up from ur Google research propaganda? Yorubas Kings knows worldwide as Obas Even the first Oba of Binis came from Ife the son of Oranmiyan called Eweka. Oranmiyan is king of Ile Ife the last son of Oduduwa. All the fake news of Benin are bias and fake like hell.

The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Tuesday said Benin Kingdom in Edo State remained part of the expansive Yoruba race, a pronouncement that may spark fresh rivalry and altercation between people of the two ancient kingdoms. The monarch made the comment in reaction to a statement credited to the palace of the Oba of Benin challenging the claim by the Alake of Egbaland, Adedotun Gbadebo, that the Ooni of Ife remained the pre-eminent spiritual leader in Yorubaland and environs. Oba Ogunwusi, via a statement by his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, made available to PREMIUM TIMES, said he was not interested in any supremacy battle with anyone but that he would continue to put the records straight and avoid distortion of history from any quarters. The monarch said going by historical evidence detailing the Oduduwa lineage, Benin Kingdom remained part and parcel of Oduduwa House. “We in Oduduwa land have always seen and regarded our people in Benin kingdom as part and parcel of Oduduwa House. They are our brothers and sisters, coupled with historical facts to back up this position,” Ooni Ogunwusi said. “The statement credited to the Alake of Egbaland, did not emanate from us but the reality is that as a highly experienced and well informed monarch, Kabiyesi Alake, who is a bonafide Oodua descendant is entitled to his opinion based on his knowledge and understanding of history,” the Ooni said. “Let me emphasize for the umpteenth time that Kabiyesi Ooni is less concerned over any supremacy hullabaloo. He is only interest for now in how the sacred throne of Oduduwa can explore measures through which the collective interest and genuine unity among Yoruba and other tribes within the larger House of Oduduwa can be enhanced. “This informed his resolve to build bridges of harmony among Yourba Obas. I am resolutely committed to how Yoruba ethnic group can restore its glory and pride of position among other ethnic inclinations in Nigeria and don’t want to be dragged into supremacy contest or join issues with anybody.” The traditional ruler said he recalled that about six years ago, attempt was made by some people to upturn history during the launch of a book titled: I REMAIN SIR, YOUR OBEDIENT SERVANT, which he said stood historical facts on its head. Oba Ogunwusi stated that If the position espoused by the Oba of Benin Palace in the media “is aimed at distancing our people in Benin from the South West and Yoruba, so be it.” He however added, “We still identify with them as our kinsmen, regardless of the attempt to change the course of history.” The Alake had, while hosting the Oba Ogunwusi in his palace on February 7, rated the Ooni as the number one monarch in Yorubaland and other territories considered part of the Oduduwa House. In his rating, Oba Gbadebo said Oba Ogunwusi was number one of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland, followed by the Alaafin of Oyo, then by the Oba of Benin (in third position), the Alake of Egbaland (fourth) and the Awujale of Ijebuland (fifth). But in a swift reaction on Tuesday, the Esogban of Benin and Odionwere of the Kingdom, David Edebiri, rejected the ranking, saying the Ooni of Ife was a son of the Oba of Benin and that the Oba of Benin stool has no relationship with the Yoruba race. The Esogban said, “We wanted to discard this report as something that was not necessary at all. We do not see how the Alake of Egbaland suddenly woke up to think that the Oba of Benin is also a Yoruba Oba. “There is no basis for such classification; Oba of Benin has nothing to do with the Yoruba Obas. It is simply unnecessary, unless they simply want to stir up an unnecessary controversy. “We are not in Yorubaland. To be frank, it is because many of them are not willing to come up with the truth, the word Oba is alien to Yoruba monarchy; it is not part of their title from time immemorial. “For instance, the one they call the Oba of Lagos, these are recent adaptations. In the 50s, there was no Oba of Lagos, what we had was the Eleko of Eko. That is the title of the King there. In Ibadan, you have the Olu Ibadan. You come to Abeokuta, you have the Alake of Egba land. You come to Oyo, you have the Alaafin of Oyo. In Ilesha, you have the Owa-Obokun of IIesha. So no Yoruba monarch had as part of his titles the word Oba except the Oba of Benin. “That word Oba is indigenous to Benin. It is only in recent times you find everybody bearing Oba. When the Western Regional conference of traditional rulers took place in Benin City in 1942, go and check the attendance, there was no other monarch in the whole of the Western Region then that bore the title of Oba, except the Oba of Benin. “So it is an unnecessary excursion, an unnecessary attempt to turn history upside down by the Alake by classifying the Oba of Benin as third in the hierarchy of kings. “Our own traditional history says that the Ooni of Ife was a Benin Prince who wandered from here to Ife, settled there and became the ruler there. That is the position, if they don’t know, they should send people here; we will teach them. “We will show them landmarks. So this is unnecessary misrepresentation of history. Maybe the Alake wanted to mention a different place and not Benin. “The monarchical rulership in this part of the world started from Benin during the era of the Ogisos. It was the son of the last Ogiso, Owodo, that wandered from here to Ife and he became a ruler there, carrying everything about the Benin monarchical system to that place. There is no basis for such classification. “The Ooni of Ife, by historical facts, is a son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not in the same class. The Oba of Benin is the only one that answers Oba, the rest don’t. But today, we hear Oba here and there, they are all recent adaptations. I am saying categorically that the word Oba is indigenous to Benin and not to Yoruba nation.”

@@austinidehen3845 Who cares. The most Important thing is that Yoruba are more successful and intelligent than you Benin people. I do not even believe in living in past glory. The future is more important Get that into your skull
Only Lagos Island is what all these Awori and Isale Eko people can claim. Not Mainland. The Ijaws owned mainlland Lagos
Which Ijaw? Many people are now laying claims to Lagos. So Ijaw own Oshodi,Ikorodu e.t.c. Go and claim it now.
