Abia originally belongs to the Yorubas, it was named “A-bia” which means “Armpit” in Yoruba after Lamurudu (father of Oduduwa) used sweat from this armpit to water the lands.
'Eko' means community in Edo language.
That place u people call Eti-osa, I hope u know it's a Benin name?
The stool of the Oba of Lagos is of the descendants of the Oba of Benin.
In the 18th century, all Obas of Lagos used to be buried in Edo soil until the Europeans happened
