Which history do you refer to... the one written by your yoruba ancestors?

genetics111:

Your expression shows your shallow mind . The last time I checked the most friendly tribes in Nigeria is Yoruba. You don't made point by spreading ranchor. Give us Fact. Check your history very well Oduduwa son reign in Bini once. Today the "arole Oduduwa is Ooni. For your information arole means first born.

Etinosajay:


Ogie fe mwen oo

And yoruba is pronouced as Eghoin in benin city.

Eghoin like agoin?

U knw nothing abt d Benin Kingdom. Kindly look & learn.

alexistaiwo:
what is my concern with all these useless obas. They are only concerned about their pocket. Even myself, am the oba of my little room,
abeg who oba don help?
Next

Etinosajay:


Another one has come

You have verifiable facts right?

So if Ado, according to you, means Edo.

What does Ado-Ekiti mean?

Ado in Yoruba should mean people who stay.

If applied to Bini, it would make sense because of the high turnover from the region.

Aigbofa:


I am curious to know why until 1930s or there about the heads of dead Benin kings were buried in Ife. This is verifiable fact.

Aigbofa, is there an ORUN ILA ORANGUN in Ife? Is there an ORUN ALAAFIN OYO in Ife? Is there any other ORUN of Oduduwa's lineage in Ife? Why Ile- Ibinu's only? Oba of Benin head is different from that of other Oduduwa's children?
The Ooni has Ada,a Benin symbol of authority, as other EASTERN Yoruba kings and Oba of Lagos. Is the reason not obvious?
Without a doubt, Oba of Benin is the most famous and important of Oduduwa's lineage. It could only have been so because Benin was the origin of Oduduwa.

VirginFinder:


Abi o!

They claim the word Oba is theirs. Then why did the pre-Oranmiyan dynasty kings use Ogiso as their title.

Binis will bear children and give them Yoruba names and know the meaning without having to consult any Yoruba person.

Yorubas will NEVER give such an aberration giving their children Bini names a thought.

due to cross culture borders, there are always language influences. Yoruba names by benin peeps are rare and have no meaning in benin.

see understand that that everything you guys are arguing about are myth. there is no documented records before the 11th century. a lot of it is spread by word of mouth hence both the benin and yoruba account are unproven. respect theirs and they'll respect yours. The Ooni was wise not to be drawn to a supremacy battle. Be wise like your Ooni

tpiar:




Eghoin like agoin?

Eghoin means STRANGER ALIEN FOREIGNER
EGHIAN is ENEMY. The Oba's enemy is called OGHION OBA.
He was saying that Yorubas are strangers to the Edos.

Aigbofa:

Its disgusting and irritatting when you Yorubas keep spreading lies about the bini kingdom.

What archeological and scientific evidence do you have to buttress your point?

VirginFinder:
Why do Binis speak Yoruba naturally and bear Yoruba names?

I need answers!

Because we are your fathers and very accomodating. We can speaking bini and Yoruba very fluently but can you speak bini fluently.

Gaddafithe2nd:

You are not being sincere. I answered that Izoduwa means Oduduwa.

Oba Eweka is the son of who again?
The answer is Oranmiyan. Therefore, all your kings from Eweka I to the present Oba are sons of Oranmiyan a Yoruba king.
I rest my case.

he is the great grand son of Ogiso Owodo.

Oduduwa is the son of who?

VirginFinder:
Somebody just cant fathom why Binis bear Yoruba names and speak Yoruba in many cases.
He just doesnt know how to spin it!

Oduduwa came from the middle east. Fact!

Oranmiyan, Oduduwa's grandson, founded the Oba dynasty in Benin. Fact!

Edos dont speak yoruba in any case. why all these ignorance/arrogance from nairaland yorubas

read this

Sheikh Adelabu

Among the critics of Yoruba traditions about Oduduwa is the London-based Yoruba Muslim scholar, Sheikh Dr. Abu-Abdullah Adelabu, a PhD graduate from Damascus whose followers run several publications. In an interview with a Nigerian media house Sheikh Adelabu, the founder and spiritual leader of Awqaf Africa Society in London, dismissed the common myth that all Yorubas are descendants of Oduduwa as a false representation by Orisha worshippers to gain an unjust advantage over the spread of Islam and the recruitment of Christianity".[5] The Muslim scholar advised his followers at his Awqaf Africa College London against using phrases such as Omo Oduduwa i.e. Children of Oduduwa and Ile-Oduduwa i.e Land of Oduduwa. He argued that the story that all the Yorubas are children of Odua was based only on word of mouth, and that it does not conform with the science and the reality of logic conducted on objective principles which usually consists of systematized experimentation with phenomena, especially when examining materials and functions of the physical and spiritual worlds of the African people.[5]"

Gaddafithe2nd:


The ancient Benin kingdom at its peak expanded to Lagos but lost everything during the Invasion 1897 by the British.

lagos? Really..

Adaure4ever:
Why these argument in this thread?
I want to ask a question, if The ancient benin were so powerful, why are they now found in only one state Edo? What exactly happened? They should atleast occupy 4 states.

Not even one state. But part of Edo.

Adaure4ever:
lagos? Really..

Yes, the Oba of Lagos do send isakole(means taxes he collects in Lagos) to the Oba of Benin.
Even some of the first chiefs of Lagos, two of them (Obanikoro and Eletu-Odibo) came from Benin.

Why would Yoruba spread lies about anyone? There are Yorubas in Republic of Benin as well and they have never refuted their Ife ancestry.

Simple answer. We are the heartbeat, we give life to all.
So IPOB too don join to attack Edo.

Etinosajay:


Can you imagine the height of disrespect so laced with hate?

So all benin man and woman bear a yoruba name, as you claim.

Hah, emiavboya

I don't have a yoruba name. Will you please give me one?

Why not? If you so much desire, I can re-christened you.

Adaure4ever:
lagos? Really..

not expanded per say as they did not conquer the tribes between benin and lagos.

actually they did not conquer lagos per se but helped the inhabitants defeat the aworis hence the name eko (war camp). note that this was just lagos island epe axis and most of lagos was still under the control of the aworis.

Aigbofa:

Who cares if Yorubas are also located in Mars.
Trust me noone gives a Bleep about you nutheads.

Dat is because Benin was an Empire. It conquered other lands and people and made dem pay homage and accept d Oba of Benin as Overlord. Same as British Empire. dnt b stupid, pls.

monex:


he is the great grand son of Ogiso Owodo.

Oduduwa is the son of who?

Mi gbo, Owodo ko Owode ni
Have answered that check all my replies and Quote you will see that.

Lolzzz, unfortunately facts are stubborn. The Soviet Union tried to write their own version of history and failed woefully.

I reserve my comment out of respect for all the dead Edo kings.

Gaddafithe2nd:


Don't mind them, the present Dynasty of Benin Kingdom are lineage of Oranmiyan, Oduduwa.
Even my secondary school friend Ehis Irogama do say that Benin people are Sons and daughter of Oduduwa

now answer this question. Can you tell us the origin of oduduwa? I nor wan hear say him fall from sky oo because everybody know say that one na mythical talk from Yoruba writers.
