ikachi1:
Oduduwa was a Benin man who was to be executed but let go by the executioners and advised not to come back to Benin. He established his kingdom at Ile-Ife. That explained why the first Oba of Benin was the grandson of Oduduwa. There were over 30 Ogisos (Title of the former kings of Benin) before the first Oba. People should get the story right. The Binis also founded Lagos and named it Eko. Their kingdom extended to the present day Benin republic.

saxywale:

okay. According to the Awujale of ijebu land, you must surely be from Sudan just like the man in the pic below. Except ode-remo ijebu people that are from il-ode and i-remo quarters in ile ife.

MisterG:


You mean South Sudan.

This is Sudan

and South Sudan/Darfur





Big difference within a big country.

macof:



so these are the brothers of the Ijebu and not their fellow South westerners?

MisterG:


So all of them look like south westerners to you? LOL

macof:

does it matter what they look to me?

you posted the images. ..I should be asking what ur intent was

any way. ..my question is still valid.
are those (Any or both of the groups) people whose images you posted true Ijebu brethren.?

MisterG:



Brothers of humanity yes, since all humans on earth is basically related or 50 cousins away from each other. When living in Sudan did i hear anything about Ijebu people. No Most people do not know anything about Nigeria besides footballers. However if you want to draw connection, some of the languages in the South Kordofan are of the Niger-Congo family. Other than that, no one in Sudan knows the Ijebu people. Most people in Sudan are more knowledgeable of their neighbors Egyptian, Ethiopians, Eritreans, South Sudanese now different country, Chadians etc. Nigeria is further from people minds, since we do not border you.

OrlandoOwoh:
The Orun Oba Ado Shrine is still in Ile-Ife in Oduduwa Street. The presence of the shrine shows that the practice of buring the head of any dead oba of Benin in Ile-Ife may still be in practice.

1. Oduduwa doesn't fit ur little Ekaladerhan personality
2. Bini did not found lagos. ..Aworis did
3. The areas of Present day Benin republic were Bini were present was the Bight (sea area) with no sociopolitical organization

Enahi:


Sad that you aren't as educated as I though, anyway nobody is dragging your Oduduwa history with you. Your history is different from bini. There is no point dragging anything with people who rely more on Oral history as their source of proof for their existence.

The true founders of Lagos is still in dispute if I can remember clearly due to a difference in date when Lagos was been inhabited by both d Aworis and bini. There is no evidence to actually prove that the Aworis ot binis were the first settlers so I disagree with Yoruba history on Aworis been the first settlers in Lagos. It's not like i care anyway but Yorubas should stop trying to force what's not on people.
