explorer250:..dude! Ubr very poor and short-sighted when it comes to History. U said d Benins created d Ijebu empire? Aw am I even sure dat u actually attended a secondary school talkless of a university? U said d Oba of Benin was busy conquering Yoruba city-states and dat d Aalafin of Oyo was scared of him? Who was d Oba of Benin then? Which dynasty was that and who was d Aalafin of Oyo at dat time and wat century did dat take place?.dude u r very dim-witted. The Ijebu empire had being in existence b4 d Benin came 2 be. If u go back to ur history book, u will discover that during the time that Oduduwa was blind, he journeyed 4rm Ile-Ife down to Ijebu-Ode where he was healed by the Awujale of Ijebuland. Do u now want to tell me dat d Benin Empire dat was alleged to av being the brainchild of Oranmiyan d grandchild of Oduduwa is older than Oduduwa and Ile-ife itself? Dats simply degradation of history by a myopic south-easterner. And 4 ur information, d Benins were not busy conquering Yorubalands. They only made part of d present day Lagos state a garrison base 4 it's millitary which they later named "Eko".that was b4 d Ijebus raided and took over lagos Mainland hereby dismantling and anihilating d Benins and chasing d Aworis into Lagos island and dat is why d d entire inhabitants and rulers of Ikorodu r all Ijebus and 4 ur information, d rulers there don't pay tributes to d Oba of Benin, but dey do dat to d Awujale of Ijebuland.and if u think I'm lying, do a quick reserch on Ikorodu or rather visit d place ur self to see. U also said something about d ijebus being conquered in less dan a year. Dats y I said earlier on dat ur alleged educational background is a suspect and should be reviewed. History students knows dat d downfall of d Yoruba city-states was as a result of d numerous wars dat was happening at dat moment in time in d Yorubaland(the Owu war,the 14year war,the rebellion led by Aare ona Kakanfo Afonja and d annexation of ilorin from d Oyo empire,the Owu-ijaiye war,the Ekiti-parapo war,the Kiriji war,...etc)..that was a moment of turmoils,upheavals and disunity among the Yorubas. The war had already weakened them and d Ijebus where d last hope due to d fact dat it was d gateway to d Yoruba hinterlands and immediately dey fell to d europeans due to their superior armaments, there nothing the oda Yoruba nations could do about it and d Britons were able to penetrate them with little or no effort at all....u laid claims on d fact dat d monarchial system of government is dead! 4 ur information, d UK still uses it! But it's powers had being greatly reducedduring d uprising dat led to the signing of the MAGNA CARTA and 99% of European countries still uses only dat their powers also has being reduced immediately after d 2 world wars. Again I doubt ur educational backgrounds. I wonda if u av even being to Asia, particularly d middle east, Dubai,Qater,and d UAE, Jordan and Saudi-Arabia still practice full mornachial system of government and it's working greatly 4 them!... And 4 those clowns u call ibo rulers and their non-existencial "kingdoms" u mentioned earlier on, I doubt if dey could even command an army to attack a couple of Fulani herdsmen and their wive and children!...don't worry now! Sheybe 2015 is around d corner. All ur screams and noise making dat u own 99.9% of Lagos economy and even have d highest numbers of inhabitants in d state will really play a major role in ur massacre! Even Satan will ask u guys when u get to hell whether u were d Benins who gave d name "Eko"to Lagos or dat u were d Aworis who lived and developed d lagos islands. Or dat were u d ijebus who dwelled in part of d lagos mainland or dat u were d eguns who made fishing a commercial and triving buisness in d state in d early hours of civilisation !Bloody group of persona non gratas. |

mickeyenglish:At first i want to begin by saying that i am not a history student. I am a science student and i recently graduated from secondary school, though i recently got admission into the high institution. So, i am not parading myself as an elite in history,but that does not stop me from having basic knowledge of history. Oya here is the link en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijebu_Kingdom The benin empire was busy excercising authority at the ijebu court and conquering yorubaland city states. The yorubas didnt expel the benin army from lagos rather the oba ordered the withdrawal of his troops because he felt that the general commanding the army was becoming too popular and powerful because of how he easily conquered his enemies. So due to the fear of a coup the oba then withdrew the army and gave the general and his family a land to settle as a reward of his hardwork. History has it that the yoruba army never defeated even a garrison of the benin army even for once! The oyo empire despite its population,cavalry(which was copied from the nupes that destroyed oyo empire earlier) and influence was not able to defeat the oba of benin! Rather she attacked smaller kingdoms such as the dahomey. Will you also doubt that oyo empire was finally brought down by the fulanis?, even illorin was scrapped into the fulani empire. That is why the traditional rulers of illorin are called emir instead of oba! So my friend let me tell that yorubas was only busy fighting themselves and was not able to expand there territory outside yorubaland save for dahomey, which later revoluted and regained there freedom. Will you also doubt that akure was conquered by benin?, lolz. But arochukwu an igbo tribe was able to conquer the ruler of the ibibios(a major ethnic group in cross river state which shares boundary with arochukwu) To me benin is the most powerful kingdom in west africa, and not the yoruba which you claim to be a super power in africa. So my brother in conclusion, i want you to know that the yoruba empires will and can never beat the igbos in terms of warfare! Lest i forget, ijebu empire was not popular due to its military strenght,rather, it was due to its position in the control of trade routes! (Check this at the second paragraph of this link en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijebu_Kingdom And also dnt 4get that poverty has led you yorubas to sell your ancestoral lands to igbos. Keep on selling as we continue to build up! Very soon we will lay claim to your land as part of ours and b4 u wil realise it we will be too many for u ppl to defeat! Ask the north was there fear that made them carry out the northernization of the north. Winks! 1 Like |

By refusing to go that route, Nigeria has abysmally depressed its nationalities. For instance, my Yoruba nation came into Nigeria in 1914 as easily the fastest modernizing nationality in Black Africa; and we entered into independence with Nigeria in 1960 as the development front-liner and pace-setter in Africa. The prof. was right. The pace that which chief awolowo was moving was great, if that pace was sustained, yoruba land would have been land of milk and honey. |
