Gabaro
Oba Gabaro who reigned from 1669-1704 was the second Oba of Lagos, son and heir to Oba Ado, and grandson of Ashipa whom the Oba of Benin rewarded with title of Head of War Chief and Governor of Iddo Island.
Oba of Lagos
In collaboration with the descendants of Olofin, Gabaro moved the seat of government from Iddo Island to Lagos Island and established Iga Idunganran as the Oba's residence. Like his father, Ado, he collected yearly tributes from his subjects remitted to the Oba of Benin. Oba Gabaro established chieftaincy institutions and invested Olofin's descendants with chieftaincy titles, making them white cap chiefs while distinguishing Benin chiefs with silk hats.

Broken Sky
by: CopperI've got a broken sky
Miles above
I talk to every night
It used to be the one to say it's all right
Now it's the setting sun
Every part of me is you
Can we make this black sky blue?
Well maybe I wouldn't be so broken-hearted
If you were still here with me
Love is just a disease
I'm taught about it
It only makes me cry
I walk these empty rooms
Half alive
And not the way I knew
Sometimes the silence seems so loud
I hear it in my dreams
Every part of me is you
Can we fill these empty rooms?
Maybe I wouldn't be so broken-hearted
If you were still here with me
Love is just a disease
I'm taught about it
It only makes me cry, ohhh...
Every part of me is you
Can we make this black sky blue?
Well maybe I wouldn't be so broken-hearted
If you were still here with me
Love is just a disease
I'm taught about it
It only makes me cry... oooh...
