I would like to know which imaginary precolonial monk wrote down imaginary oduduwa's genealogy thanks to which you guys can chose from oduduwa's descendents. I have the feeling I am talking to 3 year olds here.
Moneywomen17:
sounding more foolish as u comment before there was governor created by the coming of the British we still choose the king the same way not necessarily by direct relation of the late king but a descendant of oduduwa

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.


A simple question for the Yoruba, go asked His Majesty Ooni of Ife where his forefather Oduduwa which is also called Ekelederan is from?
‘ Ekelederan' has no meaning in Yoruba language and does not exist amidst the descendants of Ooni Odua, starting from Ila Orangun, Ajaka(second Alaafin) Oniketu, Popo, Owu, Alaakè, Obokun etc but Edo claiming otherwise . How does a meaningless name in Yoruba be their king's name? The most senior male descendant of Odua was and is Ila Orangun and does associate with Bini on this falsification. And if you are looking for Ekelederan, the place where he was buried is at Ughotan. This is the rightful place to visit. Have you forgotten, we gave you (Edos) knowledge of Fabric production? In fact, Aso Oke , is your ancient traditional attire in which the Oba Bini patrilineal ancestor and his followers brought from ILE IFE to Edo.....

Your reasoning faculties do not appear to be very sharp.
Did you bring any proof forward of the existance of oranmiyan ?
So why in hell should I believe oranmiyan existed ?
It seems you think that I must let at least one of your fairy tales fly not based on logics but based on something else I guess.
In my own logical world, everything is based on proof. You telling one million tales is no guaranty for one of your tales being accepted, all you need is a proof, without proof, none of your claims will be accepted.
"See how you contradict yourself" ? I fail to see any contradiction in my statements, perharps the word has an other meaning for you.


Moneywomen17:
lol see how u contradict urself to sound smart. First u say oduduwa never existed I showed u proof that ur god oba of Benin believes it u said it’s folklore. So answer me if oduduwa never existed like u say that means the so called dlkhadaren u claim was lost and found in ife never existed too. But oranmiyan also ruled Benin and since there is no longer any bini claim on oranmiyan via oduduwa that means nonetheless a Yoruba man oranmiyan started the oba dynasty of Benin without no contest or u will deny oranmiyan never rule Benin and eweka his son continue his dynasty to this modern day.

Why waste your time on him? He does not know but claim to know. Just imagine, the trash ,he typed as ‘imaginery Oduduwa genealogy,' yet he has nothing to link Odua to Edo apart from Oba Bini lineage through Oranmiyan. Even Ogiso,did not have any name linked to ‘Ora—Oran talkless of Adimla ,which was Odu to da uwa bore as his other name. It is better you keep away from such personality that are bent on distortion of ancestral connection of Owoka(Eweka) descendants to ILE IFE.

These Yoruba guys of this generation are simply an embarrassment to literature and historical perspectives. Going down memory lane is a waste of time with them. You cannot bend an already dried fish lest it breaks.

But for the few amongst you who are a little bit above tge bar, I hope you know what symbolism means. Certain things are done to project or make particular statements.

Look at the chairs these two kings are sitting on and tell who is actually the baba.

Though I hate going down this low, but its important sometimes.
You give the high seat to your Oba even when he visits your domain. Buhari would always have the high seat whenever he visits a governor. That's the message being passed here. Open your brains!

It's settled ...the picture settles the argument

Oba is higher

It is funny how igbo people keep saying this.
I don't get why you guys keep boasting about how your armed soldiers overpowered unarmed civilians.
The Benin imperial army fought against the british empire and lost. Since then, the Benin imperial army had been disbanned.
Your biafran soldiers were shooting at unarmed civilians. Yet when buhari sends the army against unarmed igbo civilians, you guys cry foul ! Irony ?
Who eaxactly are you claiming to be minority ?
Who exactly do you represent ?

What does Onitsha mean in Igbo

Do you realize this small boy that we have Onicha anglicised Onitsha in all Igbo land

Onicha Ukwuani Delta
Onicha ugbo Delta
Onicha mmili Anambra
Onicha Mbaise imo
Onicha uboma imo
Onicha ngwa Abia
Onicha ezza Enugu


Now all these Onicha are Benin right....confused souls

Do Benin bear Onicha

Your asking me the meaning of Onicha ....is it the Benin that the NRI priest thought artistry and administration because NRI civilisation is far older that these small minority Benin

Abeg face your Yoruba cousins...we Igbo have nothing.... absolutely nothing to do with you...we see you in condescending manner

Once again, you are showing your lack of education.
Forget the expression "documented history". That is just an other rather stupid way of just saying history.
And what you are quoting is not history, it is fiction !
There is no proof it ever happened ! No contemporary text !

When the Biafrans reached Agbor they split up, the Biafran 12th Battalion under Lt. Col. Festus Akagha began moving north-west to Benin City, the 18th Battalion under Major Humphrey Chukwuka made its way into the oil-rich Niger Delta, and the 13th Battalion under Col. Mike Inveso swung northwards towards Auchi. Benin City was captured with little opposition as Biafran soldiers fired their weapons into the air upon entering the city. The 13th Battalion established control over Auchi and Agenebode while also capturing the towns of Okene, Atani, and Iloshi, indiscriminately shooting civilians in the process. A Nigerian Army unit was pursued by Biafran soldiers to the Siluko River where the two sides exchanged fire, before the Nigerians managed to escape under the cover of darkness. Within 12 hours of the initial invasion the Biafran Army had control over the entire Mid-Western Region. Unbeknownst to General Banjo a unit of Biafran soldiers under Lt. Col. Oechi attacked the government residence of Mid-Western Region governor David Ejoor on the orders of President Odumegwu Ojukwu to capture Ejoor dead or alive, Ejoor's guards resisted the attacking Biafrans which gave Ejoor enough time to escape and flee to Lagos.
