its a pity you lack knowlegde. The newly crowned king from his speech made reference to Oranmiyan as the first Oba of Benin and Oduduwa which he specifically mentioned amongst the past Obas which discountance the errorineous impression from Benin people thinking they don't belong to the Yoruba race.

FACTS ABOUT THE YORUBAS AKA AFONJAS
( 1 ) . Their story of
kingship began with Edo
prince and the Benin
recorded History .
( 2 ) . Ayayi crawder said,
little were know about
yoruba existence,
meaning they were not
part of Nigeria of today
boarder or were in small
settlement close to
dahomy. yoruba are half
muslims and those with
African traditions copied or got them from Benin
civilization . I doubt if they not immigrants from dahomy
mix with Benins or other fulani- hausa from Niger
. Bishop Samuel Adjayi Crowther (c . 1809 – 31
December 1891 ) Was the first African Anglican bishop
in Nigeria . Born in Osogun (in today's Iseyin Local
Government, Oyo State , Nigeria ) . His grandson was
Herbert Macaulay
( 3 ) . Yoruba have dublicity of kingship with the process
highly politized to being traditional . A system they try
copy from Benin but can 't get it real like the Benin
Kingdom. Edo Obaship is one of the most revered
institutions in the world because of the way it has
sustained its awesome prestige with strict and
meticulous attention to ancient traditions of valour ,
discipline and integrity . Edo chieftaincy titles cannot be
bought or conferred on non- indigenes or frivolously .
Every Edo chief performs a peculiarly sacred duty
and responsibility to the people of Edo. It does not make
sense , therefore , to think that a people who would not
and have never conferred their chieftaincy titles on non-
indigenes, would voluntarily invite , accept, or surrender
to non- indigenes as their kings . Due to celestial
origins , the Edo monarch cannot eat out and cannot be
diverted from full time palace duties to hustle
for contracts .
( 4 ) . Most of today
yoruba religion are
Benin Origin , Olokun ,
Ogun , Iha oguega (ifa ) ,
oronmila, Esago
(shango ) , Ayelala etc .
Many Benin traditions
and spirituality are
stillfully documented by
yorubas in high places
as YORUBA ? (Never mind the Edo man ' s christian
mindset quickly dening Edo have niothing to do with
African traditional religion , agreeing they are foriegn to
Edoland . . . LIE ) .
Although the Great Edo ( Benin ) Kingdom were not major
participants in the trans- Atlantic slave trade , because
the Obas (Kings ) believed that their subjects were too
valuable to sell away , and their noblemen had need of
war captives on their own farms , the influence of Edo
religion and medicine has still been substantial upon
the people of the Americas .
According to Mason (1996 ) , it has been widely
accepted that Olokun ( god of the sea ) worship
originated with the Edo and spread to the Yoruba ( p. 2) .
In fact, the most prominent part of Edo cultural
traditions that has made its mark in the New World is
Olokun worship. Olokun (god of the Waters ) worship
originated from Urhonigbe and then became prominent
at Ughoton around the Ethiope ( Olokun) River . The
priesthood and rituals were firmly established at the
time . Some of the possible points of contact happened
early. During the Ogiso Period , trade with the Yoruba
and Igbos was quite extensive. Olokun worship may
have spread to those areas through traders . Prior to the
Oba Period , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was initiated into
Olokun as a chief Priest while he stayed at Ughoton ,
before his moving westward with his followers to
establish Ilefe ( Ero , 1999 , p . 108- 109) .
Once he arrived , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa brought Edo
traditions to those areas and was a King of his new
community called Ilefe , which could be what yoruba call
IFE. . From Ekaladerhan Izoduwa ’ s loins , the Yoruba
dynasties may have began. However, it is certain that
Olokun is an Edo divinity whose worship spread to the
outlying Yoruba areas.

In your slave mentality you define civilisation as anything western and that is why the black continent is the only continent that is backward. You all rush to Dubai but they don't abandon their culture, in fact they fiercly guard their way of life. They enbrace what is good about other cultures but preserve their own Are they not a modern country? The reason why Africa will never make progress is that Africans no longer know who they are. What has all your copyting of the west done for you? Holding on to your identity and culture does not make you uncivilised, not being able to speak English does not make you an illiterate (most Chinese don't speak English but see the wonders they are doing). Getting a western education but losing your ability to think makes you a brainwashed fool.



Be proud of who you are and embrace it because that's all you'll ever be...with all your education, religion and so called civilization you will only ever be Black, African, Nigerian and whatever tribe you belong to!!! It's up to you whether you want to be proud of your heritage or an Uncle Tom.

In the past, the Oba addressed his people through his isekhure/high priest as he was viewed as a god whose voice could take the life of a mortal who heard it directly. Hence, that. Its mainly ceremonial now.

Dont open the tin of cankerworm. odudUWA is a Bini prince. The UWA in odudUWA is never found in yoruba lexicon and language but only in Benin Names like AdesUWA etc. Eko is also a benin word meaning war camp. I read about first seven lagos obas are decendance of binis. Even the word yoruba was giving to you guys by the hausa fulani invaders. Dont argue about this because all these are varifiable from history of Lagos Obas and origin of the yoruba word.

Which one is Olokun in Igboland? Do you guys ever think before writing trash?
Igbos don't know what is Olokun and have no relationship with it.
When it comes to aquatic based religion, igbos ascribe it to a female deity. Stop writing nonesense.

Let assume Dangote is married to three wives already and he wants you as the 4th wife, would you decline? Many will always claimed they cant share their husband, but yet, they dont see anything wrong with having affairs with married rich men because of their greediness.
