Well there was a picture of him kneeling in church and he said God is the supreme king. And just recently he invited Pastor Adeboye to his palace. Hmmmm

He cant serve two masters at the same time

By the way who do u serve, orisha ?

oodua1stson:
I don't serve any god or orisha. Maybe one day I'll serve an orisha but now I'm committed to serving mankind.



It's better to serve my father's god than to waste time serving white man's fake god. A god who capped his pant when ebola was around

Of course he wont do that simply because he knows oduduwa is the son of the last ogiso.

And mind you the way yoruba idolises oduduwa is quite different from how benin sees him.
To benin he is a banished prince, to yoruba he is their founder. Take note

See gobe. It is obvious that in the past (even as late as 1930s) Yoruba and Bini were joined at the hips. However, times have changed. Today, Yoruba is Yoruba and Bini is Bini. And that is the way it should be. The aborigines of Edo State are not Yorubas but the crown is definitely a Yoruba bloodline. And while I agree that the Bini Monarchy gets its authority from Ile-Ife (via DNA aka bloodline), they do not have to do that anymore. They are free to stand alone. For me, this is not even controversial. Live and let live. Most of what is happening is politics. Nigerian politics makes it difficult for people to admit the obvious truth. Smaller ethnic groups are very protective of their identity. Put yourself in the position of the people of Bini. With a population that is barely the size of little old Ekiti, you can see why they would react the way they do. Yorubas are arguably the most successful ethnic group in Nigeria. When you are this successful, bitterness and envy is usually what you get from folks who have not have it as good. But I worry that the Yoruba Nation is not as united as is necessary to continue to expand on our success, as the very nature of Nigeria continues to wobble as the years go by. I am impressed by the current Oni's resolve to do something about this. For this reason alone, he gets my support despite my reservation at some of his post-installment acts. The SW has always been the hub of Nigeria. We open our doors joyfully to all people. While this is a good thing, I believe its time for us to strengthen our unity and look inwards. And we can only do this successfully, if we avoid getting embroiled in silly controversial issues like the aforementioned. Yorubaparapo.com. Yoruba ronu. Let's go.

Malawian:
this thread, just like the one before it is very funny.

yoruba attachee by force honestly believe that should a mythical country evolve to include them and the bini, that they will be the ones to lord it over the bini.

una no dey hear well. the sufferings you have endured from the fulani should be enough for several generations of yoruba yet unborn, but no, una wan add bini for the gala wey dey una head.

ngwa nu.

ka chi na eji na efo.

Why are you shying away from your god. From your answer it seems you ae serving orisha

What's this one saying?
How many times do you brain-dead have to be told that our Oduduwa has a father, Lamurudu? Does Lamurudu looks like you accursed bini name or your bastard prince's father?
Better don't let me use Sango swear for you!
Lamurudu and Oduduwa we know, Ekharledan we know not other him being a lost bini badstard!
The real fact are the bini' kings' head lying fallow in Ife!

Eweka was the First Oba Of benin, after the Ogiso dynasty .

And Eweka is the son of Oranmiyan a Yoruba man

Eweka I (1180–1246)
Uwuakhuahen (1246–1250)
Henmihen (1250–1260)
Ewedo (1260–1274)

AreaFada2:


Oranmiyan was son of Benin Prince Ekaladerhan who became Ododuwa.

Oduduwa did not magic from Any Arabia (not even China or Vietnam ). He came from much closer: Benin or Igodomigodo as it was called then.

How does your stupid Ekaladerhan became Oduduwa?
What's stopping you Bini revisionist from backing up such claim with facts! Atleast our odu ifa infer that Lamurudu was Odudu'wa's father! Hence, where's bini's fact instead of conjectures just like the Bini empire was all myth too with no historical facts!

Oba Erediauwa did a nationwide thank-you tour after coronation. NATIONWIDE, up to Sokoto! We also have pics of him in my uncle's palace, the Duke of my town.
Having said that, Benin Royal family & every one with even a drop of royal blood hold Ife (called Uhe in Benin) in very very high esteem.
The reason is simple. Ife gave refuge to the Benin prince, Ekaladerhan, who became Ododuwa.

Otherwise, the Ogiso dynasty that began in about 40BC would have been lost.

With the kindness & generosity of Ife people, Benin has a royal family stretching back to 40BC, the same year the Roman senate appointed Herod as king of Judaea!
The only major break was between 1100 AD & 1169 AD. The current dynasty began in 1169 AD.

What is the correlation between your Ekaladerhan that followed a mermaid to the lost city of Atlantis and Oduduwa.

Which one are you guys even talking about. From Ekaladerhan, you twisted it to Izoduwa. Not satisfied with your own naming process, you re-engineered it to Imadoduwa.

In the meantime, go to your Oba's palace and ask him what the festival of Ugie Erha Oba connotes in your Oba's history.

Also ask him the gifts that the Chiefs always presented to him during the Igue festival, where do they tell him it came from?

Look for your lost Ekaladerhan somewhere else.

We are initiating that Bini people are not yorubas, but the throne, crown, title and current dynasty is of Yoruba lineage and that is an undeniable fact.

it has been proven all over the world that the Ife Brass work predates that of Benin. That is another undeniable facy.

AreaFada2:



Read my previous posts dude. How the name Izoduwa, interchangeable with Imadoduwa came about. Very consistent from earliest times.

Benin has been pretty centralised from a very long time and history of that single monarchy very consistent. No rival ruling houses in Benin trying to create stories to try bolster their entitlement/claim.

Even today, nothing like court cases involving succession as it litters some tribes in 9ja. Or where obas are deposed by court or government arbitrarily. Makee Benin pretty unique for consistency.

Benin never claim to be first to do brass work. But whenever Benin started, it was done to the highest level possible anywhere in the world then. Or is there anywhere that is claimed? Please show me. Metal works began in Africa thousands of years ago. Has been done in many places.

Benin people don't wake up one morning to make any claims. They usually respond to very amateur, ridiculous and futile attempts by egotistic tribalists to rewrite history. There are some who find it hard to swallow the fact that in each talk about African civilisation, Benin is always one of the first to be mentioned. And when foreign documentary makers like BBC narrate African History, a prominent place is given to Benin Empire.
Try as they may to detract, history is there for discerning minds.

Benin people are pretty comfortable in their skin. All the issues Nigeria has today and the little role for minorities was a major reason Benin resisted Britain to keep its empire.

When that failed, Benin realised the disaster and historical setback it will be. So no surprise that all kind of people want to rewrite history now, even backwater vassals of yore.

Fact is Benin gave Ododuwa to Ife. So whatever returned from Ife was originally BENIN.

My own analysis from Benin history is guess work while your own spurious claims are gospel truth, right?

Obviously you were the midwife who attended to Ododuwa's mother in labour, and you should know the truth authoritatively.

Dude, no ogboju tactics will work here.

You have your history, Benin have theirs and will remain so till the end of time.

Super1Star:


You are well entitled to your opinion.

A fact remains a fact and they are:

1. Oranmiyan is the father of Eweka

2. Oranmiyan named benin

3. Eweka's dynasty throne crown and title still stands till today.

Those are facts that are not disputable anywhere we are very OK with that. It gives legitimacy to our claim of the crown.

Claim of wandering prince cannot be substantiated. Did he wandered to the east or to the west or north or into the sea?

Show us historicals that backs your claim.

But there is Oba in igbo language though it means different thing altogether
