Eko is a mean name and language which mines "my home". The title of "Oba" is also a copy of the title of the King of Benin. The Benin monarch was the only one referred to as Oba in the whole South West until Lagos adopted that title.
You are confusing Eko for Lagos. Eko indegenes are Aworo but Lagos indegenes include many ethnic people including Awori, Ijebu, Egun, Egba, Yewa and even Tapa. Besides, Lagos or Eko was never controlled by the Benin. The Benin people only occupied small part of Eko(not Lagos) known as Oga Iduganran. Therefore your historical record is very wrong. Meanwhile, I am a Lagosian of Ike I extraction.
Please stop spreading lies that the name Eko is attributed to king of Benin, that's wrong information you're peddling. The Benin people came in the 1500s and met people there, wage wars and were thoroughly defeated. Please get your facts straight and stop twisting our history.!
How were they defeated? The Awori were simple fishermen, they couldn't fight the expansionist Benin empire! Benin controlled Eko ( not Lagos state) for centuries! In fact the Oba of Lagos's bloodline was mixed with Benin, and for nearly half a century, all Obas of Lagos were returned to Benin for burial when they died! It is sad that history is no longer taught in schools these days! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Ijebu, ekiti, ondo are Dey Yoruba. Because they where force to speak oyo language which is called Yoruba. You people should be praising British that they gave Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa majority, go ask they knows Benin kingdom is the whole Nigeria. Benin created Lagos not Aworri, The Aworri are Benin who magrated to Oyo.

Eko belongs the to Aworo people, indigenous Yoruba group! Not the Edos
Not true. The Benins founded Lagos and named it Eko. The Aworis settled way inland, not the Island.
Stop twisting history.
If you ask me I would argue that Benin is supposed to be part of Western Nigeria
It's sad that Africa still has to deal with the artificial borders. Thanks for watching.
It used to until the creation of Mid West region
@bibi2673 correct me if I'm wrong. Mid-west is still supposed to be the middle of West.
It used to be.
It was, but the presence of various non Yoruba groups in the region allowed for the creation of the "Midwest" out of the Western region!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
The area was known as LAGO DE CURAMA before it was changed to LAGOS
Is aworri not benin
