Lazy youth all over nairaland, with a lots of them not being to school, lack common sense, looking for free money, free health care, sprue frivolous comments, beclouded with ethnic, cultural, religious and political sentiments. What is really wrong with Nigerian YOUTH? A lot of them are so garrulous, stup!d, loquacious, good for nothing. Your mates here are changing the word with the speed of light, here you are arguing superiority between 2 deities.

I weep for Nigerian youth. A youth with misplace priority.


I think it high time Nigerian youth purged their indifference, stereotypical and ethnical mindsets.


The World envy Nigeria and Nigeria envies the world

Get your self useful please, whether Afonja, Ipob,

To all those Ignorant people here who have come here to show their high level of ignorance well let me educate you all.

1. The Oba leaves his palace, His grandfather Oba Akenzuwa visited England. His own father Oba Erediauwa did a nationwide coronation thank you visit where he visited many palaces across Nigeria. This present Oba is doing just same. He has Visited Buhari, the Sultan and now he has visited the Ooni as i earlier predicted. His next visit would be to Onitsha and i expect some dundies to run here and run their mouth when that happens.

2. All coronation rights have ended and he isn't going to do any in Ife, please can you yorubas just focus on how to keep the emir of yorubaland from running his mouth and leave my King alone. At least the Ooni sharea the same state with the Emir of yorubaland.

3. We the Edo people want to use this medium to repeat ourselves, neither did we or our monarch come from Ife, we might have shared many historical ties which is what empires do as there is barely any tribe in southern Nigeria that doesn't have Benin in its folklore.

4. Oba gha to kpere......ise

No Yoruba has ever said Edo people are from Ife. We dont know you and dont care where you come from or go to.

Bini is our son and our people and you can fill a library with all kind of literatures you want to contradict it...writers and researchers before you have recorded their truthful findings and taken oral narratives from Bini courtiers as evidence of Bini roots in Ife.

Please stop making Edo important in Bini, you are non entity. Your Ogiso reign is over long ago, this is Yoruba dynasty in Bini, bow to the Omo N'Oba, and the Omo N'Oba bow to Oranmiyan, his ancestor.

If you are not happy with the arrangement feel free to reinstall your Ogiso back in power, lets see if you can.

You people argue so blindly, sometimes required to be flogged 25 strokes before getting wisdom.

Have u ever read d history of Oba of Benin? the first king that brought Oba to Benin is from Ife.

And Ife was his ancestral home. Don't be impress with d ibos on nairaland giving you cheap likes you don't warrant.

All Obas in Nigeria and beyond migrated from IFE.

The battle for superiority is for the weak, empty heads and minds and low lives. Only empty minds say "Do you know who i am?", "Do you know who my father is?". Great minds don't make noise or argue over superiority because they know who they are within. They are aware that productivity is higher than title, and impact is stronger than image. See these two great men in their glory having fun together and you see empty heads fighting on social media about who is superior. I weep for my generation. The leaders of tomorrow. Empty!

all this yoruba people can funny me, so una never still rest for the issue of a man that came from the sky with chains?? At least the benin's have prove that ogiso's existed before the reing of the Oba's, they have prove of the last ogiso who sent that his son be killed and the have proves in land marks of the sojourn of oromiyan, son of ekaladerhan as a matter of fact one of the places he settled is named after him today and it leads to Egor, where the child who later became king was conceived.... Even after all this proves the Yoruba people will still argue that somebody came from the sky with chains

The heads of past Oba of Benin buried in Ile-Ife says it all. Don't argue at your own disadvantage.
Give it to those wise ancestors of the Yoruba who insisted that their son's descendants heads be buried in Ile-Ife,they knew that someday some smart Alec will attempt to twist the truth.
Have you ever heard of an Ooni visit the Oba of Benin? The respected Oba of Benin is even behind the Alaafin of Oyo in ranking.
Long live Yoruba land. Long live Nigeria.


You guys say shit, the Ooni has been to the bini Palace twice. The ọba is just returning the courtesy call.

Oduduwa was a stranger. Ask the Yorubas where he is from. No need 2 argue with them. Binis conquered and colonized them. They only make mouth because of help from the British who liberated Lagos and other places from Binis. The words Oba, Eko, Oduduwa were derived from the Bini language.

Ok, let me give u the answer. Oduduwa is Bini, he migrated 2 Ife and became d first Ooni. All the major kings (not the vilagers) in Western Nigeria including Lagos and large part of South South have Bini Origin.

U can argue with your keypad.

Keep running your mouth like a foolish person.. I can categorically say you're not a Bini person. is either you're from IBO or Auchi.

Oranmiyan (Yoruba)
Oba (Yoruba)
Uselu(Yoruba)
Omo(Yoruba)
Iye Oba(Yoruba)
Bini (Yoruba)
Eweka(Owomika) (Yoruba)
Amongst many other Yoruba words.

You're just blinded by ur hatred for Yoruba.
6 years ago on nairaland, Edo people were claiming Eweka is their first Oba until Oba ewuare ll set d historical fact straight that Oranmiyan(Yoruba) was the first coronated king in Bini kingdom.

Lastly you still believe Oba of Benin came to Ife for nation wide coronation visit after two years or more? this is preposterously untrue.

Many Edo towns trace their kingship titles to Yoruba lands eg Benin, Ibilo and some Akoko Edo towns.

My brother just ask any Yoruba person a simple question, where he or she comes from he will tell you from the Sky. U can tell of a race or a nation that knows nothing about his origin, but telling you about others, their Aborigine.

There is different between Oduduwa as a religion and d personified Oduduwa. The Christian religion believe God is d father of Jesus Christ, also that Jesus fed over 5000 with five fishes and he turned water to wine etc

So also Oduduwa as a religion is similar to that but Oduduwa as a person is a Yoruba King(Oba).

Nobody knows who Ekelederan was in Yoruba lands. if you ask Oni of Ife the questions you asked he will tell you "all life started in Ife"

For Benefit of Doubt, Please Read..........


Edo kingdomEdit

During the 15th century Benin was the first to receive foreign traders.The last Ogiso son who was to succeed his Father was banished from Edo and arrived in the Yoruba kingdom, crowned as their King, and titled the throne as Ilefe Izoduwa in Edo Language which was corrupted to Ile-ife Oduduwa in Yoruba. The Powerful Kingdom in Nigeria and first Empire recognized by foreign traders was (Ubini) Edo Kingdom. The Edo King captured many towns such as Eko which is now Lagos and also captured Ijebu and Edo Kingdom was stretched from Ijebu and Lagos to Republic of Darhomey which is now change to Republic of Benin. Respect for the priestly functions of the Oni of Ife was a crucial factor in the evolution of Yoruba ethnicity. The Ife model of government was adept and derived its military strength from its cavalry forces, which established hegemony over the adjacent Nupe and the Borgu kingdoms and thereby developed trade routes farther to the north.

Edoland established a community in the Yoruba-speaking area east of Ubini before becoming a dependency of Benin Kingdom at the beginning of the 14th century. By the 15th century it became an independent trading power, blocking Ife's access to the coastal ports as Oyo had cut off the mother city from the savanna. Political and religious authority resided in the oba (king) who according to tradition was descended from the Ogiso dynasty in Benin Kingdom. Benin, which may have housed much inhabitants at its height, spread over large square km that were enclosed by concentric rings of earthworks. By the late 15th century Edo Kingdom was in contact with Portugal who discovered an Empire of great men with civilization and resources (palm oil, ivory, cotton etc.) which was traded through a trade of import and export of natural resources which has been part of Edo culture. At its apogee in the 16th and 17th centuries, Edo encompassed parts of southeastern Yorubaland,and the western parts of the present Delta State.

Guy stop lying against your culture and kings. We all know the story, of how the banished prince was made the king at Ife and how he gave birth to other princes in which Oronmiyan was the last of the all.

Even in the British library here, this version is that is on shelf

Kidding as how? Yoruba's traditional belief suggested it came from the east or whatever but the real Oduduwa was a Yoruba king.
Oduduwa is not the only king depicted with religious narratives.

Ogun

Sango

Oya

Obatala

Orunmila

Oduduwa

They were all kings except Oya (A queen) depicted with many religious belief and narrative
