Lagos, Oba of Benin and a dose of historical infelicity

Let this piece of information begin with great salutation to the Oba of Benin for visiting the State House in Marina Lagos where he was received and treated with a large dose of Lagos hospitality by our very amiable, effective, indefatigable and ever-ready Governor, Babatunde Olusola Sanwolu. I personally join the Governor to welcome the Oba and salute him for acknowledging that the claim about Benin ownership of Lagos is controversial and he would want to avoid dabbling into controversy.
