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.

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.

So you dont even know your history. So Oduduwa na arab man now.
When we say you people dont have a culture unaa go begin argue. Tomorrow una go claim sey Oduduwa naa from isreal

Aigbofa:


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

Not only in Benin Republic even Togo, Brazil, and Cuba.

scholes0:
Chai... what is the Benin palace hiding? is the Oba dead?

I have been thinking in that line since last year

bro my advice to you; if you see the word 'either' in any history book know say that book get k leg, in other words na doctored book.

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.

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.

EDUECO:
The enthronement of the new Oba(Eheneden Erediauwa) in Igodomigodo(Edo) kingdom is a quasi beginning for us all! May the reign of our Oba brings us prosperity! Ise! Asagbonrioba,Osa orue nowan!

This is a name i so much love. Asagbonrioba, Asagbonriodion, etc. It isnt by choice, but by destiny.

imohchard:
This people Juju No be here...
Papa never even die o

Agbaya!

emeijeh:
The dynasty too correct.... The Oba doesn't travel, so no news of his transition Oba gha' to kpe'e

ise

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.

bokohalal:

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.

Is that his opinion or ?


The word eghoin which he used, sounds like agoin from Togo, hence my question.

U wan start something now. It's make we hear word.

Btruth:
Imagine? I can't believe people like you don't know that Oba of Benin is one of the sons of Oduduwa. Quote me anywhere, Benin kingdom is an extension of Yoruba. Go back to history and learn more. I have a lot of Benin friends, and most of them have their Yoruba names.

Take a chill pill. That was a jocular response I made to your post and I wasn't looking for an argument with you. You don't even know what you're talking about - you combative ignorance gives that much away. "Most of them have their Yoruba names." Indeed.

Izoduwa aka oduduwa originated from Bini. Go to Bini palace and see things yourself. Of course they will not write anything Bini because they want to claim superiority.

Haha... I hear you.

Why are those guys holding him? Can't he walk properly on his own?

who is fooling who? why did d benin kingdom hide the fact dat d king was very very dead.

einsteino:


In case you don't know, no representative from the palace of the Oba of Benin attended the Ooni's wedding which held in Benin. That should tell you that this your assertion only exist in your head. In all the benin history I have come across in school and my years of living in Benin, it is very clear that the Oba of Benin has no overlord than God. Also documented history shows that the old benin(Igodomigodo later renamed ubinu, corruptly spelt benin) empire covers vast territories that extends from onitsha down to lagos, you should be thankful to the British invasion of 1897 cos it is likely that you would have fallen to their rule.

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

Etinosajay:


Good for you.

Please open another thread, and masturbate with it.

Do not peddle your jealousy based arrogance here.

You can write anything you wish to believe about your tribe there, afterall no one is gonna mark it right or wrong.

In fact if I were you, I will say Adam and Eve are ooni abi oduduwas last born.

I hope that satisfies your ego

What clear fact, what archaeological and scientific evidence do you have to back up your claims.

Truth is the writers of Yoruba history are confused,you are rely more on oral history and thats why people dont take you people serious.

@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

yorubas una nor go liv bini alone.must una attach una self to d binis? na by force ? na wa ooo

Adaure4ever:
I asked a simple question, why the insult?

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.
