Dear Jenny Cruz,
Thank you for your feedback. Benin, just like Lagos, did not and does not belong to many ethnic nationalities, including Ndi'Igbo, as you claim. I love and respect the Igbos, however, I can't be alive and watch ANYONE distort the history of my ancestors. I shall not be the weak link in a chain of great men by keeping quiet as you attempt to revise history.
Benin belongs to the Edo people ONLY. There is no other ethnicity that owns it or shares Benin with them. Every ethnicity that was in Ancient Benin, along with the Edo people, were conquered people and were brought there as enslaved people to build the ancient infrastructure of Benin and we have documentary evidence to prove this. Only that this evidence may offend a lot of people. So let us let sleeping dogs lie.
I am not proud to say it. My ancestors in the Iwere Kingdom (present-day Warri) and Benin Kingdom were not simps. They dominated their neighbours and, sadly, enslaved them. Again, I condemn this. But history is history. It cannot be altered. It can only be learnt from.
If you continue to provoke me, I will be forced to publish a receipt for human 'cargo' in my possession, clearly identifying the ethnicity of the 'merchandise' my great, great, great grandfather sold, which I have previously privately shared with Alhaji Asari Dokubo. But there is really no need to do that. We are trying to build a better future.
Conversely, Lagos is also not No Man's land. The island itself was conquered by ancient Benin, who ruled it indirectly through the Lagos Oba until 1897, when the British defeated Benin.
It originally belonged to various Lukumi people, to whom it reverted after the British defeated Benin. It belongs to them today.
Lagos is just like Enugu, Owerri, Nnewi, Abakaliki, or ANYWHERE else in the Southeast. It is NOT and will NEVER be No Man's Land. It is Lukumi Yoruba land. By virtue of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, via the Land Use Act, ANYBODY, Lukumi or not, resident in Lagos is a mere tenant of the Lagos State Government.
You cannot buy land in Lagos. You can only lease it for renewable periods of about ninety-nine years. And ANY TIME the Government of Lagos needs its land, it can retrieve it from ANYONE. The payment of compensation will only be for the unexpired lease. That is why you have a Certificate of Occupancy from the Lagos State Governor as your title document, not a Certificate of Ownership.
Even the Federal Government is a guest in Lagos, not to talk of any loudmouth!
Thanks again, and may God bless you.
