  1. The Obama administration of Benin is right. That Lagos doesn’t understand what he is saying. If you are the first settlers of a place, you are the founder. The oba mentioned Eko, and the name was changed to Lagos. Oba is right.

  2. I am from Benin every body know today Lagos is Yoruba Land because the British made it so. But history should be told.
    History can not defined the owners Lagos of today.
    History have shown that the Benin, Ife and Oyo were having an advanced government before the British came in and destroyed the the history of the the people.

  3. The Oba' says that it was the Edo people who found Lagos, and went further to say that the history book are there to confirm the fact,, but this man who is denying what the Oba has said,, couldn't present any history book or any evidence at all, that prove the Oba was wrong, i have had it for long time that it was the Edo, people who founds Lagos, and then named it Eko, otherwise check out all the Lagos governors, from history they are usually strangers from other part of Yoruba land. they are not often the indigenes of Lagos state, which is why people call it a no mans land.
