(For instance, Gbanko was founded by Ladipo, a member of the Alade, a crowned order of chiefs of whom the senior was the first Obanikoro who settled in early Lagos. Tradition has it that Onigbanko received his title from the Obanikoro as the latter was the head of the order of Alade. Ikotun was founded by Benin refugees from Benin colonies near Porto-Novo and the same Ikotun group founded Idoluwo in Lagos. Oluwo Nla, the leader of the group became the first Chief Obanikoro.)
