9jacrip: I still don't know people love denying the obvious, when the truth is out there for all to see. I wasn't even going to contribute to the thread, but I had to do it because the lousy claim from the other poster. The two cultures influenced each other, and they probably came from the same origin, hence they never fought each other - and none of the two empires waged any war against Ife. Ife birthed the Yoruba and Benin crowns, period! Check this out: Origins and Empire: The Benin, Owo, and Ijebu Kingdoms 1 Like |

9jacrip: Fact: heads of Benin Kings have been buried in Ile-Ife since Eweka till the colonialist took a strong hold and it was stopped - the last 2 Benin Kings were buried in Benin with their complete parts.Ahh no wonder, you really are a nitwit further garnished by your dimwitted nature. So you mean to tell us that Yoruba was a palace language during the reign of Akenzua II, the predecessor of the present Omo no' Oba Erediawa? Is this what you are trying to pass across with the emboldened? And you call this fact? I guess you pulled this 'fact' out of the sh1t-stained watery crevice of your azz huh....your sphincter muscles should be crying in agony right now for the pain you have caused it. 3 Likes |

crackhaus: It is best not to make any contributions at all than to display the tacky watery matter in your head for a brain to the whole world? Worthy folks with whom I debate history know themselves, the best you deserve is insult, debating you or attempting to dispute your erroneous gibberish you typed is pretty below my status. Stay on the side lines, matters relating to history is not your forte, you're at best a thicko spectator whose 'job' is to learn or chip in dates or names here and there. 6 Likes |

macof: nobody in the bini royal family will ever listen to this. Bini was never ruled from ife. Before the eweka monachy was the ogiso dynasty. Ife was still a small village then, it didn't have tentacles. Before oba eweka, bini was ruled by ogiso owodo, as the title "ogiso" implies, the igodomigodo dynasty was ruled by people who were believed to be rulers from heaven, the folklore still remains the the decendants of the ogisos own the whole world. The ogiso were independent rulers of their people and they claimed divine right to do so, they thus were not and could not be under ife, who needed a stranger to take over its reins of leadership in the person of oduduwa. Just as you claim that the source of the bini royal house is ife, the binis will claim that the source of the entire yoruba royal linage is from igodomigodo (igodo) through oduduwa. So the royal family didnt come from ife but was resident in ife. 3 Likes |

9jacrip:Your status? You mean your online status? Indeed you are highly and probably deficient in that part of the brain that knows to differentiate the e-world from reality. Status he says.. bro you must be kidding me, the knowledge of history can be claimed by anyone here and you telling me that your knowledge surpasses mine or those of others you have debunked just proves how delusional and delirious you so are. You are an utterably insufferable narcissist, one who believes himself of higher status among a see of anonymous monikers. Please get yourself checked you cretin. 3 Likes |

I have also noticed something else in culture section. People are too sensitive or should I say too eager to show that they are a fountain of knowledge. See insults flying left right and center. on top wetin na? My dears, slow down. Take it easy. NOBODY knows all of history. Trust me. That's why history books gets revised every now and then. We only learn new things when we admit we don't know it all. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sweetlemon: One question please. Yoruba's aren't claiming Edo's, we're two distinct groups. This is just to set the records straight based on historical facts, on how the Benin royalty has its origins in Ife. Ife needs to be celebrated. People can't just re-write history based on revisionism to make themselves feel better. you have to always give credits where it's due. Ancient Greeks gave all credit for their civilisation to the ancient Egyptians. And Europe will always credit a large chunk of western civilisation to the Romans. Just as Africa will always be the cradle of mankind. So, Benin folks also need to give Ife its just due. Itsekiri's for example are mostly Yoruba's, how many Yoruba's do you see claiming them? However, most Itsekiri's scholastic researches on the web by Itsekiri academics always claim Yoruba ancestry, but Yoruba's don't claim them. Igala speak a Yoruboid language, but have you ever seen any Yoruba person claim Igala folks? We're a strong nation, and we don't need other people. But revisionism isn't a good thing. People need to give credit here it's due...this is African history and we need to tell our story based on FACTS not FICTION. 11 Likes |

The bold had me laughing. I had a discussion with my pops a few weeks ago about the Sudan thing, and he was just laughing his ar.se off. Ijebu's came from Ife, but I believe the progenitors left before Oduduwa. Hence it seems the Ijebu crown isn't an Oduduwa crown. However, history can't be denied. 1 Like |

lamdec: the story that no one knows the sacred ground of the bini kings rest is like the story that no one knows if human sacrifices once characterised the death of the bini kings, and that know one know the rituals that the new king performs before ascending the throne. I don't know means i'm not permitted to tell you about it. |

shymexx: I understand the first part of your reply but as for the second part all I can say is keep deceiving yourself. Yorubas claim Ishekiris and Igalas every opportunity they get. But the Ishekiris I know will not fail to correct you and proudly tell you that they are Ishekiris and not Yorubas. they are quick to correct the difference btw Omawunmi and Omowunmi, etc. Besides, it is Ishekiri and not Itshekiri. 1 Like |

That said, this is not my usual forte on NL...I don't engage neither do I suffer the likes of you who only want to make their point by throwing insults and invectives around, but you really caught me at a perfect time...unfortunately for you. And did I hear you say I should open another thread to throw down and engage in a war of words with you?

Sweetlemon: I've never even seen any Yoruba person claim Igala - never. As for Itsekiri's, they always claim Yoruba. Go check all the great Itsekiri people and how close they were with everything Yoruba. Or do you want me to start citing names? How about Itsekiri history and how most of the Itsekiri households/clans still maintain their ancestral links to the Yoruba's? Ugborodo? Omadino? etc.. The list is endless. We don't even need anyone, to be honest...we've got everything we need as a people. And, it was Jekri before it became Ijekiri - and whatever it's called now. 3 Likes |

9jacrip: Fact: heads of Benin Kings have been buried in Ile-Ife since Eweka till the colonialist took a strong hold and it was stopped - the last 2 Benin Kings were buried in Benin with their complete parts.actually the beni kings never go to ife to confirm their kingship or for blessing! The bini palace has its own shrines and priest, and after the death of the oba the princes do not go out until the new oba has ascended the throne, they don't go on a journey after the death of their king. The oduduwa effect actually made all yoruba kingdoms to be an offshoot of the bini royal family. If yoruba language was the language of the bini royal house then the son of oranyan wouldn't have been called eweka, he would have been called owomika. 2 Likes |

Lmao!!! Olokun is Bini god, yet Bini empire was landlocked, no? What does Olokun mean in Bini language? And what does Ogun mean in Bini language? I already posted the link about Yoruba influence on Bini arts, go read that. Your brass and terracotta arts came from Yoruba. I'd even wager that the genesis of your Bronze casting also has Yoruba origins. I'm still doing a scholarship about which of the two kingdoms, Ijebu or Benin, actually first built a moat to surround their kingdoms. And it seems the moat thing most likely came from the Ijebu's, since the Ijebu moat was far bigger than Benin's and it has been labelled as one of the biggest ever. 4 Likes |
