hensben:I don't believe in myth also, it is a clear fact that Oduduwa is from the Arab world. History have shown I that is either he is from Egypt or Mecca. I have read it in different history books from secondary and even my days in tertiary institution. Don't tell me Oduduwa is from Benin because there is not account that stated that. |

back2sender:It is a clear fact. bring your own account. If I hear say Oduduwa is from Benin. His father is Lamurudun. Lol... So, all Arabs are white or brown in skin. |
Re: Eheneden Erediauwa To Be Crowned Oba Of Benin by Gaddafithe2nd(m): 8:08pm On Mar 15, 2016 |
hensben:that is why there are different accounts. In all the history have read about there is nothing like he came from Benin. 1. Some said he comes from the sky. which I don't believe 2. Some account said he is from Mecca 3. The last account says Egypt. I am saying nothing like Benin. The distortion of history from south was caused by their inability to write. |

But how do you suddenly install a new king without explaining the whereabouts of the old king? This seems like an abomination imo, doesnt bode well. |

einsteino: I don't understand d conflict this generation istrying to create between Yorubas and the Benins. One you all needs to know is that, at a point in history, there was contact between the two tribes. I am Yoruba but I have a lot of exposure to Benin history and culture. The same way the Binis have their history, same do the Yorubas. Each tribe with itsown version. One point you all faild to understand is that Benin is not Yoruba and Yoruba is not Benin, there are only familiarities in the cultural practices as a result of their proximity and good-interaction btw dem. Note that, even in the Yoruba history, it was never said the Benins are Yorubas nor did any Yoruba warrior or leader conquer the Binis,it was only a mere association, dat led to a Yoruba sending his son whom he had with a Benin woman to rule when there was Crisis in Benin. Note this: if there have been no crisis, the Benin wouldn't have asked for Oranmiyan to send him his son. Also note, Oranmiyan did not out of his power or because he had power over the Binis placed his son on the throne, he was ASKED to send his son and he did. The Benin history that I read in Bini history books presented the two version of the Benin royal history, the one held by d Yorubas that Oramiyan sent his son to rule Benin, and the one held by the Binis that it was the son of the oba of Benin that sent his son to rule a Yoruba town. However, the former was refuted to be incorrect. Looking at the varieties in the Yoruba language, it is devoid of any Benin word, but rather, the Yoruba word 'OBA' meaning to 'be untop, to climb' is used by the Binis for their King, it is possible that d person sent from Ife to rule Benin brought the name with him. There are various words of Yoruba origin in the Bini language. It's a simple case, when there exist a relationship between two tribes, the possibility of loan-words cannot be ruled out! And especially wen it's btw two tribes In which one is bigger than the other by landmass, population, language varieties etc, it is expected dat d less populated or spacious tribe might borrowed the popular words of the much populated tribe. You mentioned that no Bini palace official attended the Ooni's wedding in Benin. I blive the Binis wanted to prove a point that they are not from the Yorubas which I think it's unnecessary, ordinarily, if a prominent king like d Ooni should visit any place, it is normal that d host king sent a representative as an olive branch to d visiting king. But if they choose not to do so, that's their choice, afterall they are not obliged to do so. U said d Empire spread to lagos and onitsha, but I think you need to understand the meaning of 'Influence'. At the peak of the Benin empire there influence spread, dat doesn't mean they controlled those places. Even at the peak of the Oyo empire which was later than the Benin empire, it had influence even up to Nupeland and environ, dat doesn't mean they controlled those area. There are various sub-ethnic groups in delta and rivers state that their local dialects are of Yoruba origin just because dey migrated from Yorubaland to their present location. That doesn't mean they are Yorubas and the Yorubas havnt laid any claim on them. I have a friend from a village not far from usele-uku whose names are igbo but his dialect is of Owo origin. Look at the Itsekiri in Rivers and Delta states..... You guys shud chill and stop this tribalism. Every tribe has got its uniqueness. There has been no fight btw d Binis and the Yorubas in history, they have been living like brothers and sisters and not as slaves and masters. Binis ar not Yorubas and Yorubas are not Binis 2 Likes |

@Niyinficient If the ooni had visited benin, It will be customary for him to visit the palace. I believe he declined to come, because he had stirred up controversy with those claims of his. The crown prince in age is senior to the ooni, so who should better know what his history says? Oba sijuade towed this line at some time, but ultimately backed down, when challenged for evidence by Oba Erediauwa. We as Edos are very accommodating, and if the ooni has visited, the palace would have sent representatives to his wedding, as he is a royal father of his people too. Bottom line is, the Yorubas should stop that attitude of dis respecting every tradition or culture that is not theirs. On Nairaland here, you see Yoruba goons lampoon and disrespect the culture of other people (ibos, hausas, ijaws, efik, etc) while claiming they are superior. A move only inferior people make. Respect is reciprocal 2 Likes |

Adaure4ever: Sorry about that. I was just pissed at the naivety of d question. D British empire covered over half of planet earth but in reality England is a small island country. How many states does Ife, people occupy? D old Oyo town dat was d home of d Alafin at d peak of Oyo empire is practically non-existent presently. D current seat of d Alafin is a mere imitation of d old Oyo town. You yorubas hav succeeded in deluding yourselves dat all Yoruba states were always one pple because of d language u all speak (which by the way was made widespread by colonial masters) when infact, Benin controlled a substantial amount of d so called Yorubaland, Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos etc. No part of Benin was ever conquered until d British did us and no Benin person was sold to slavery during d slave trade era. Sorry Again, tho. 1 Like |
