Ooooh, the plan all along was that you will revert to this debunked 1970s fabrication once I get off Nairaland. Haha! grin LMFAO! Anyways, you’ve just been caught pants down. grin

Just two questions for you lad: Why are you a liar? Abi you lie for a living? grin

Na 700 blue pigs dem dey kill, not only 7 black cows — insecure lying nincompoop! grin


Will you ever answer the following question which I’ve been posing to you forever?:

Where are Bini people and their Kings’ progenitors from?

(A) Ife according to the “official” Benin account.
(B) The Sky according to the Benin mythology.
(C) Europe according to the 1823 Benin account.
(D) Egypt according to Egharevba’s 1953 edition.
(E) All of the above.

Feel free to use any of the following lifelines: (1) Ask the audience, (2) Phone a friend, or (3) 50-50.

Anyways, the attached image below highlights one specific implication of the relationship Benin kingdom has with the ancient and sacred kingdom of Ife. grin

Thanks for the reply and the compliment sir.

Yes, the above-attached artifact is quite rare. F. Willett’s works, et al. has a number of such works. I took a screenshot of the above-attached one from one of S.P. Blier’s works which also shows a reference to one of F. Willett’s publications.

Similarly, other such rare artifacts which affirms the Ife-Benin connection are seen in the attached screenshot below — showing an Ife terracotta head made in the Benin style perhaps for export purposes, considering the early dates of Ife productions in comparison to Benin works.

Artifacts like these are published in F. Willett’s, “New Light on the Ife-Benin Relationship” as well as in O. Eluyemi’s “New Terra-Cotta Finds at Oke-Eso, Ife”; among others.

Yes, the recent events in Lagos are very heart-wrenching to say the least. I agree 100% that we must protect our heritage at all cost.

I’ve been very busy lately, but it’s looking like I’d be able to carve out some little time once in a while going forward. How are you?

Awesome feedback @TAO11. Yeah! I'm doing OK right here... and one has to zoom off from online activities atimes like you've done to gain perspective about real-world issues and gain mental clarity. I use the 80/20 Principle (Pareto Principle) for daily time management. Thanks again. smiley P.S. I just heard a few minutes ago that the Ooni of Ife has a new baby son (Prince) for the first time ever. Congrats to the Royal House!

As usual, Tao has started flogging their lies filled cranium with hurtful truth.

Tao, can you make them more confused and ridiculous as they have always been? Pleases ask them the meaning of Oba. I want to hear that "shinning seki" and "it's red theory" again.
Thank God, Gregboy has a thousand and one mouths. He will surely come with another meaning this time around. It is red might have turned to it is blue.

You keep talking brass casting coming from ife


Can you prove ife mafe those brass casting lets start from there


Olowo of owo made it know that they never made terracotta sculpture in ancient times and that those sculptures wete purchase from merchants

This terracotta sculpture have same semblance with ife sculptures and we all know ife also didnt have any art guild system making it possible that
Ife also bought those sculptures from artesian too thats why those sculptures didnt depicit the cultures of ife people



TAO11 tried proving it to me but she failed maybe yours will be different

First of all check owo terracotta head and check ife terracotta head on net before you begin to reply me, you will see thay both ife terracotta head and owo terracotta head is thesame


But non of this terracotta heads have both the ife and owo cultural attribute why

Probably they were non indigenous to this two tribe who just purchased it



If you doubt me prove it

You don't know anything about Ife culture
