LOLzzzzzz

I never knew yorubas like binis like this o..

hehehehe..See wailers at the top trying to grab binis to their side...

FYI, my mum is Benin and she does not in any way look like Yoruba...Even in Benin, the Yorubas are like aliens.. The igbos are seen more like family than the yorubas... My cousins, uncles, aunt from my mum's side don't have any atom or trace of yorubish...


The Binis are Binis. Yorubas should mind their lane!

Nothing twisted. All verifiable stuff from daily activities, ceremonies, etc.

From about 1169, sure by Oranmiyan & Eweka. That is settled and common history/knowledge in Benin.

Also that the father of Oranmiyan was Benin prince Ekaladerhan that became Imadoduwa/Izoduwa in Ife.

That was the only reason Oranmiyan was requested to come to Benin.

This has happened more recently too. In 1714, British parliament requested Elector of Hannover, George to become King of England after death of heirless Queen Anne. George was a German relative (and protestant as Catholics were & still forbidden to be King/Queen of England) of English royal family. George spoke only German. Hence he appointed a chief minister (Robert Walpole) to run England while the king mostly stayed in Germany. That chief minister became the British prime minister we all know today.
There are many other examples.

If you read wide and travel wide, it makes you understand yourself and your history better. Our ancestors were far smarter, political, intriguing & organised than we believe today.

every tribe and language under benin empire before d coming of d white, is to maintain their distict language and culture. ondo and ekiti were already speaking yoruba, agbon, ika and delta igbos speak their language, benin does not like to force their language on any tribe that is why is an empire, not just a kingdom

ok. I agree with you. But why do Bini people have Yoruba names? Why don't Yoruba people have Bini names?



Remember Alexander the great conquered Egypt and till today there is a city in Egypt with the name Alexander


The English conquered our country that's why we have people here with English names.



If truly the Bini conquered Yoruba land, why don't we have their names? And why do they have our names?

oodua1stson:
if ipob kid is not your name then why did you come around to insult him?

Because he threw the first punch.

Are you that blind to notice?

Super1Star:


You can control from Benin to Cameroon, we care less.

Your language or culture have no influence on anywhere from Ore to Lome, whereas Yoruba has. Why is your language not spoken or your culture adopted?


For all our conquered territories, they adopt our language and culture. Classical examples are the Eguns, a subset of the Ewes.

Name a place where your language is spoken outside Benin? Yorubas can point to Benin Republic, Togo and even Ghana, down to Brazil Cuba and the Carribeans.

Gamesmart:


That is just laughable rubbish.

Even many of the Aniomas (who are closer to Igboland) refuse to be seen as family with Igbos, it is the Binis that will see them as family?

Wow!

What other fascinating lie can you churn out mister?

AreaFada2:
I guess books written by Yoruba writers. . Well, we leave the artworks to others to judge. Having seen the interest they attract in Berlin, Paris, London's British Museum, Amsterdam and a few other Museums I have personally witnessed, they speak for themselves. Benin just don't want to be drawn into Yoruba affair, be it supremacy war or whatever. Hence they first left the colonial entrapment of Western Region. It is that numerical advantage in politics of Old Western region that left the supremacy hangover of SW that we see now. Well, history major or not, the rote learning and cramming in 9ja schools inspire no confidence in me.

We hav told you to look for you lost prince in.the lost city of.the Atlantis.

The father of Oduduwa (Odu to da Iwa) is Lamurudu. He is not your lost son that followed a beautiful mermaid to under the water.

Your ancestors saw a peaceful and thriving nation an they sent a SOS message for us to help your chaotic and tumultuous empire. We sent Oranmiyan, which gave birth to Eweka the father of the current ruling dynasty in Benin.

We are not saying Benin people are Yorubas. Get it right.

But your crown throne and title are ours. That is an undeniable fact.

bllaster:


SHUT UP.
If you claim lamurudu is from mecca then why dont yoruba have same culture with saudi arabia.
Im aware islam was brought to you people by your fulani masters.
Are you saying its ok for the king of saudi to wake up one day and claim all yoruba throne?
Just let this matter lie. Even the bible and quran speak of same history in slightly different way.

bllaster:


Interestng, so that means saudi king can claim all yoruba kingdom. Ooni must hear this.
How sure are you lamurudu kinsmen didnt have any idol they worshipped. Im sure if you check mecca history you will definitely find out that they idolised one thing or the other and they also had their own culture.
So how come they didnt bring it to yoruba land?

Your logic is warped.
Rome conquered Greece but Greek culture conquered Rome
Germanic tribes conquered Rome but Roman culture prevailed.
Even Christianity is an offshoot of a conquered Jewish people
In Nigeria, Fulani conquered Hausa states and in turn was culturally overcome by the vanquished .

Ife never had an army. There is no military title holder in Ife traditional government .
Benin has been influenced by all her neighbours and Yoruba is just one of them .

bllaster:


And you think oranmiyan didnt meet a thriving culture in bini kingdom? smh

Thats not an excuse. Christianity came to Africa even if we had thriving cultures. So your point is invalid.

oodua1stson:
we are talking about and you're here vomiting oranges.



There's no need to let this matter lie, just answer the simple few questions I asked. Is it that difficult to be honest for once?



As per islam, are there no ibo and Bini muslims? Get your head out of your @rse

naijaboiy:

Super1Star:


Get it right.

Oranmiyan met with thriving culture in Benin too. That is why Benin People are not yorubas.

You can also not deny the fact that Oranmiyan son became the 1st Oba am he renamed Igodomigodo or Ado or Oredo to the present name. If he was able to rename the town despite the thriving culture of the people, then he would have infused some.part of his culture into yours.

bllaster:


You are a dumb fellow. I said that because of your logic that benin share yoruba culture because yoruba conquered them and not the other way around.
Then i asked you since the fulani or malian conquered you hybdont you bear fulani or malian native names. Why dont you worship thier idols.

oodua1stson:
ok ok . I get it now



You mean Yoruba culturally conquered the Bini



Ok now, why is the great Bini limited to just one city and are not even a major tribe in Nigeria?



Meanwhile Yoruba is a major tribe in Nigeria and 2 other countries

bllaster:


This is baseless. First you people said its ile ibinu, now you are saying ado or oredo. Must you lie to prove your point.

Incase you dont know im not from benin neither am i yoruba.
But judgung from a neutral point of view the benin version sound credible.

oodua1stson:
lol unintelligent people are quick to throw insults



When and where did I tell you Yoruba conquered Bini? Who cares about that? I definitely don't.



I only asked questions which u have so far failed to answer.


And when and where did you see a Yoruba with a fulani name? calm down, man. You're losing your mind
