chopnaira: You must understand the connection between Benin and Ile Ife. A Bini Prince fled the kingdom of Benin and became an Oba in Ife, got married there and had children. He couldn't return to Benin kingdom rather sent one of his male sons to become an Oba in Benin when his father passed away. 2 Likes |

ijustdey:I watched the long but engaging video of the Benin Royal Palace high chiefs to the Royal Palace of the Ooni of Ife (Uhe) yesterday and there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with what the high chiefs said or did. They even affirmed the authority of the Oba of Benin while affirming the ancestral relationship between the Royal Palace of Benin and the Royal Palace of Ife through Oranmiyan who was the first Oba of Benin and the father of Oba Owomika (Oba Eweka) in that video. So, the BTC should calm down, watch the full video and not escalate things any further. The Ooni of Ife (Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi) will definitely step in by speaking on the phone or physically to the Oba of Benin over this and there will be a thawing of the situation, leading to the restoration of the full rights of the high chiefs by BTC. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

1000Capacity: Don't mind them. The history of Benin kingdom shows they were all from Yoruba land. Oba of Benin, Olu of Warri, etc, these are all breakaways from Yoruba land. Any good student of history knows the facts... Itshekiri people can't even deny their origin cos it's too obvious. The fact that the Chiefs who went to Ooni were suspended says the following: 1. The were indeed from the palace of the Oba of Benin, whether or not they were on official duty 2. The Benins don't want the truth about their Yoruba origin to be known so as not to be subject to the Ooni or to be seen as a subset of Yoruba land. 3. They have always LIED to their people in order to have a unique identity and be seen as being different from Yorubas. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

olamike02:what does oba mean in Yoruba language, if oba truly represents king how come non of your ancient kingship bears the title of oba, if ife is the ancestral home as you claim and ooni is the title of the ruler of ife, why did the ooni not name the the benin king as the ooni of Benin? How come no other ancient kingdom in Yorubaland bears oba, except lagos which was founded by the Benin kingdom which the oba of lagos claim his descendants are from Benin, the Benin kingdom is one of the oldest civilization and according to history a Benin prince left the Benin kingdom to ife the same prince sent one of his son's to return to Benin and become the king after his father's demise, not that the Yoruba established kingship in Benin, btw the oba is not an original yoruba word it is a borrowed word probably inspired by the Benin kingdom, because if it means king originally the ooni of ife, alaafin of oyo, soun of Ogbomosho would have been referred to as oba of ife, oba of oyo, and Ogbomosho respectively. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ooni of Ife cannot go to Oba of Benin palace and sit on the throne but Oba of Beni will go to Ile Ife and the Royal seat will be vacated for him to sit. Which throne and Oba is bigger? A kingdom that came from Benin and conquered Eko in Lagos and installed an Oba, fought the British Empire is lower than the kingdom of Ile Ife. The son of Bini Ogiso founded the throne in Ile Ife. Even the Oba of Benin never said they are Yoruba People should use their brains now. 2 Likes 1 Share |

PressMyButton: You have just said it 100% correctly. For the fact that Bini Traditional Council quickly rushed to suspend them speaks volume. There's something they're hiding. What those chiefs said corresponds with what is publicly known by everyone right from time immemorial. What Bini people are saying now (that Oduduwa was their lost prince) is relatively new and there is no history book or research work in support of this thatâs up to 25 years old. It was a propaganda promoted by the immediate past Oba Erediauwa in his book published in 2004. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
