Gregyboy, you dey try.

Never knew you are also a comedian.

cheesy grin cheesy that boy has been made to see hell. grin

Anyways, to expose all Bini liars as I always love to do:
The Ife - Benin relationship has been documented in European writtings since as early as the 1500s and the 1600s. cheesy

Reference:
Dmitri M. Bondarenko: "Advent of the Second (Oba) Dynasty: Another Assessment of a Benin History Key Point", History in Africa, Vol. 30, Cambridge University Press, (2003), p.71.

Is it so hard for you to ask him to produce the texts ?

This is getting to a new level of stupidity, he is claiming these texts exist and his proof is that "someone else makes that claim" !

I just don't get why you can't even ask him to produce the texts. What exactly is your reply ?

The guy he is quoting is himself quoting other people. Mostly online sources and the already debunked claims.
As you can very easily see the guy Dimitry knows close to nothing about Benin Kingdom.

The logical reply to his claim is that question. (Show me the texts)
Instead you are asking him if that is the reason he was out ? Wtf ?

The one problem in Europe is that except Egypt, they don't really put money into studies of African history.
The Europeans in the field are real charlatans and lazy idiots whose work doesn't seem to be supervised.
They copy things online, quote unverified sources and print stories they were told by Africans (the Europeans don't seem to know the politics being played by Africans when it come to "oral history" ) And the actual historical sources which are very much available in European libraries (perhaps not in Russia, the country of Dimitry) are not even looked at !
Re: The Name Benin Was Not Gotten From Ife But Itsekiri by Nobody: 12:46am On Apr 21, 2020
Basically, the first time ife was ever mentioned in writing is around 19th century. If any Yoruba can prove me wrong then do so! ( Produce, let us say, a 17th century document mentioning "ife")

There is no precolonial text linking Benin Empire to ife !
If any Yoruba can prove me wrong, then do so ! (Produce a precolonial document linking Benin to ife).

No Yoruba was called Oba in precolonial days !
If any Yoruba can prove me wrong then do so ! (Produce a precolonial text calling a Yoruba monarch oba ! For example a precolonial picture of a Yoruba monarch with its caption also precolonial and calling the Yoruba "oba" !)

All this stupid dance of quoting someone whom is quoting someone whom is also quoting someone needs to stop ASAP ! Bring the actual original documents or shvt the fvck up !

That was a poor work you cited very poor

European comfirmed the second dynasty link to ife.......

Mad oo


How did the Europeans confirm it, was it through writing or through looking or through trading


The author didnt quote any European text and quote as reference
It is left for you TAO11 to bring the European document attaining to this article


Very poor work.....

Lol..... I just pity tao we benins don give am assignment.....
Just like telling your enemies to go fetch water for u with a basket
Re: The Name Benin Was Not Gotten From Ife But Itsekiri by gregyboy(m): 1:21am On Apr 21, 2020
We benin have no connection with ife TAO11
Give up u have tried for the yorubas i swear

All this ife -benin connections are political downplay

I will explain further in a new thread tomorrow

Anyways, you're correct! DɪmitrY knows absolutely nothing about Benin kingdom.

You know why?

That's because no such person as DɪmitrY exist anywhere. cheesy


However, if you care to know, Dmitri (M. Bondarenko), on the other hand, is the most prolific and authoritative author on pre-colonial Benin kingdom in the world today.


If he knows nothing about Benin kingdom, then literally no historian in the world today knows anything about Benin kingdom. cheesy


First learn to copy and write single words correctly, before you think of berating scholars just because they wouldn't utter pro-Benin nonsense like Oba owns the land from Benin to Europe. cheesy

Now crawl back into your hole. Bye!

Wtf ? What sense does your statement make ?
You claim there are documents from the 16th century showing links between Benin empire and ife. Now the logical thing for you to do is to show the document.

No, I didnt claim. cheesy The most prolific authority on Benin Kingdom in the world made note of that in one of his work. And he obviously can and did access such writtings. grin

And there is no such scholar on Benin as Dimitry. grin

Dimitry lives only inside the round vaccum container sitting atop your neck. cheesy


Moreover, extant documentations on Ife goes back to as early as the early/mid-1300s by the Arab traveller, Ibn Battûta. cheesy

Wait till I make a claim of having accessed such documents before requesting me to provide them.

On the other hand, if a leading authority on Benin kingdom (such as D. M. Bondarenko) makes a note of such early materials (which he did make), then sane people (NOT Benin people oo) know such assertion is factual on the basis of expert testimonial evidence. (see 2nd attachment below).

Now, this is how it works in academia, if you've ever seen the four walls of a university.
