davidnazee: I see, i touched some raw nerves ehhn? You are loosing your calm and getting frustrated? Pele! Look at how Oranmiyan met your forefathers....stark nayked!! It explains why he called you Ile Ibinu....because you were uncivilized. We taught you how to wear clothes. Let me ask my curator to pull the record from archive and send to me. I will show you how we civilized your forest roaming, fruit gathering ancestors.

If it is only claiming and usurping other people's culture because they lack authentic one they can point to, we may create one for them. But these people base their pride on cruelty. Beheading pregnant women, midnight marauding of peaceful people while looking for loot and severe oppression at home by building walls so that people could not flee. It did not prevent Urhobo from fleeing, it did not prevent Ekhaleran from fleeing to Ughoton to become their Oba which they mischievously called fleeing to Ife. The people just had enough of these midnight marauders begging Ile- Ife to come to their rescue. Even their conqueror Oranmiyan called it Ile-Ibinu. How midnight raiders now pride themselves as conquerors is ridiculous. 1 Like |

Obalufon: See ur foolish sense. The Omada is a slave. Can u see the rings on his legs? It’s a symbol of his enslavement. Edo person does not play that role. The Omada used to be Yorubas enslaved at the palace. Well you are not Edo so cannot know that. However in this modern era, that practice has been done away with, the Omada is now referred to as being employed and released after a certain age.. but you yorubas in this modern era are still sacrificing your women and children for rituals. Shame... |

banku: We have always known their stories to be hoax and unbelievable. Even historians refuse to consider their fables for any worth other than waste of time. Their cups are over filled, they transgressed beyond boundaries, now they must get their brains reset with facts that show they were nobody before, and even now they are still nobody. A whiteman called olfert, who never in his lifetime stepped foot in Africa but wrote in journals how Bini have cathedrals like those of Vatican was partly to blame for Edo false sense of self worth. The man even went as far to say Edos wash their house walls and polish them till they glitter and be like mirrors. Edos with their witchery soon started parading around as a great people. ...we are yet to see evidence of Edo greatness. |

banku: Hey you, beheading pregnant women using them for rituals is a common practice among you yorubas. A practice you people continue to do forever, so please claim what’s urs don’t put it on us. The only people we beaded are the Yorubas during the time we were conquering your lands. We even beheaded your Deji of Akure and many of your Ewis and Obas. Abi you don forget?

BabaRamota1980: The difference between you and me is that while I can proudly boast that we defeated and conquered you Yorubas, you cannot do the same but rather run to Igala as defeating Benin in battle. Thank God you know that Yoruba was never a match for Benin. As for your Igala they were a vassal state to Benin kingdom paying tributes till the 18th century, so how did they defeat Benin and end up a vassal? 1 Like |

davidnazee: Why should i fabricate a war between Yoruba and Bini if there wasnt one? What pride are you talking about? Pride of fables and hoaxes? Bini came out of Ife. Oyo came out of Ife. Ondo came out of Ife. Oyo warred with Ondo, Egba warred with Ijebu.....but no history ever says Oyo defeated Yoruba, or Ondo defeated Yoruba, Ijebu defeated Yoruba or Egba defeated Yoruba. What sense will that make? Your problem is you, descendants of Edo slaves are trying to do witchery and make Edo and Bini into one with Edo as a warrior force that fought against Yoruba and others. Your witchery can pass for others....you can use the smokescreen to sell them your make believe but with me it remains a fantasy. Bini and Yoruba are one. If Bini fought Owo....its not Bini fought Yoruba. When Ekiti's Ogedengbe waged war on Bini we dont say Yoruba fought Bini. Never. Ekiti and Bini are brothers of same racial root and progenitor. We are not related with Edo, we dont know you. We only came to your land to civilize and rule over you. So if Edo waged war on Owo or Ekiti then this will correctly qualify as Edo fought Yoruba because you and us are different racial stock with different progenitors. So bring evidence of where Edo fought Yoruba. 1 Like 1 Share |

BabaRamota1980: The Benin armies that laid waste to much of Eastern Yoruba, beheading your rulers were mostly made up of Esan and urhobo soldiers, brave warriors they are. And the army was led by Esan Generals. One of the administrators appointed to administer a part of our conquered Yoruba town was Urhobo. Some Esan administrators were appointed too. You are not Edo so can never understand who the Edo people are. But know this; Benin kingdom of the Edo people conquered and ruled over your ancestors for hundreds of years. It is all in the archives, go find out and you will see the painful truth. 1 Like |

Watch out for some of Ogiamen sons that were conquered by Oranmiyan centuries ago still resisting Yoruba domination of their ruling house. They now want to use Urhobo and Esan as their mercenaries against Yoruba. The same Ogiso they deserted to form their own land because of brutality and imprisonment with a wall to prevent them from escaping. No it won't work. Professor Peter Ekeh, an Urhobo detailed your cruelty until Oranmiyan saved you from Ogiso. When Ogiso sent his soldiers to go and bring back Ekhaleran from Ughoton, they deserted rather than commit suicide in the hands of formidable Ughoton soldiers protecting Ekhaleran. You wan hia wod, we go dash you plenty. davidnazee: Look, this Edo, Edo nobody knows among reputable historians, takes a back seat to others outside South West where the most recognized civilization in Africa is Yoruba; taught in every reputable university worldwide. Outside South West, Try Hausa states, Igbo Ukwu, Ashanti, Sudan etc. Edo will never register except among usurpers standing on Yoruba shoulders. 1 Like 2 Shares |
