Well, I hate to repeat myself, I already gave a list of Benin influence. Benin never enforced language, therefor that is not felt, except the word "Oba" which means king in all yoruba languages. And once again be carfull to always be precise when you speak. You mey have noticed that each "modern day" yoruba identifies with a real tribe: egba, awori ...
Thereforit is much more likely that the "Yoruba" in Benin republic identify with a real tribe and accept the connotation of being "yoruba".
Sometimes you guys just need to use your brains.
Accepting the connotation of being yoruba. And this now change thier formal language to yoruba language. You will be good in comedy grin

Once again, I am saying that the word yoruba or (y..ariba) is most likely in reference to oyo people. And it has been used in our era to unite a bunch of tribes with a common past (Benin empire).
Now this tribes nw unite trow away the language they spoke before and their culture now adopt the the yoruba language and culture grin you can be so desperate to make a point grin the word "tribe" must chattel another meaning in ur dictionary shocked

Oshodi means one who does the odd thing/action

Eti Osa means the edge of the lagoon

I am not sure what Eko means.

Always ask when you are not clear.

Binis ruled Lagos briefly. They never founded it neither were they the indigenous settlers.
Even then, they have lost it to the Yorubas forever.

Wake up!
oshodi is not Lagos, Lagos is quite different from what you think.

Well the kid may be insane (in your opinion), but the kid did prove all his claims, and isn't that all that matters ?
You guys are sounding like that pope who rejected the idea that the earth rotated arround the sun, because to him the earth was inhabitated by the children of God whom God made the center of the universe. So when a scientist would come up with a proof, the pope would have that scientists works burnt down and the scientist would be executed. Because people who live by dogmas are afraid of logical thinking and proofs. they must eliminate those. Broaden your mind ! Have debates with thoe with whom you disagree, listen to their proofs and see if you may just be wrong eventhough you were extremely convinced of your being right.

Best qoute on this tread.

Just like i told the other Awori guy engaging them from the 3rd page, you will only waste your time arguing with these deluded guys. We know the reality on ground and its gonna be a waste of time arguing with people living in far away South East over our own land.

we all know that coastline and oil producing lands which all belongs to ijaws was ceded yo Yoruba's in the name of ondo state. ESE odo local government and ilaje all belongs to ijaws and this is evident in the name the villages and the people bear. the entire coastline of ondo is made up of only ilaje LGa which is purely ijaw 100%.
what of Ogun? we also know the coastline of Ogun is also inhabited by the ijaws and that is the reason for the militant activities going on their. when ijaw militants attack Lagos they run back to their lands in Ogun creeks. we all know that Lagos belongs to the benins as history and the oba of Lagos testified. Yoruba's historically was not fishers or ocean dwellers. this lands was annexed because of proximity, the population and political influence of Yoruba's. Because yorubas helped the north in the war they were compensated with peoples land.

Taking about roman empire there imfluence can be felt on it subject down to language. what benin infleuce?
So you resorted to using a blog as proof for your claim.
Let me put it simple, as an Edo I don't see any difference between Bini and Esan. We have the same leader: Omo n'Oba n'Edo.
We have been together for thousands of years. We are Edo ! It is not possible that we fight each other. Esan are just as involved in Benin history as Bini are ! In our language we barely even use the word Bini, we refer to ourselves as Edo !!!!!

How come Oranmiyan was the first ruler of Benin to be called Oba? Was the title specially invented for him by the Benin people?

That guy is ignorant and very arrogant. He knows nothing about Oranmiyan and still arguing with people that knows better than him, even comparing a mighty Yoruba nation with that tiny Benin. Oranmiyan brought the title Oba to Benin, even the new Oba of Benin said same on his coronation. Read it here;





Oba Ewuare II, who explained why he should be regarded as the 40th Oba of Benin contrary to the belief that he is the 39th Oba, said: “There may be some divergent views about the origin of some of our ancestors but there is unanimity in the shared heritage between the people of Benin and Ile-Ife in identifying Oduduwa as a forebear of kingship in parts of Africa and Nigeria of today. “Historians all agreed that Oduduwa sent his son Oranmiyan as requested by elders of Benin to return with them as ruler of their realm. Oranmiyan stayed in Benin, but his stay was short. But by the time he left he had a son known today as Eweka I. Oranmiyan’s time in Benin was however short-lived, he was an Oba. So he was the first Oba after the Ogiso dynasty, he established Obaship in Benin. Therefore the listing of past Obas should start from Oranmiyan. This actually made my late father the 39th Oba of Benin while I am the 40th Oba of Benin.” The new Oba said he will pay due attention to

All yoruba chiefs, ooni, alake, alafin, even village heads, all of them copied the title from Benin: "Oba".
And yet they won't admit who their senior is.
Even a country in the south-west which used to be called Dahomey changed its name into "Benin-republic".
There must be something great about this Benin that everynody must just copy Benin.
