Apparently, the Yoruba language came to the rescue of all West African slaves, including the Edo slaves who both at home and in slavery were subjected to the Yoruba language. Wonderful!
——————

In the video report below, many African-Americans of Edo ancestry trace their roots back to the Edo kingdom of Benin.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxDve0rwQbM

Yes, African Americans. cheesy Yes, the same people whose ancestors found themselves in the Americas via the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. grin Yes, they trace themselves back home to Benin kingdom. cheesy

Now I know your insecurity and defense mechanism would kick in to cause you to pretend to be unsure of how their Edo ancestors got enslaved and sold off in the first place. Lol.

Well, the testimony obtained from the Edos themselves by the late Professor R. E. Bradbury during his ethnographic survey of Benin kingdom is very telling in that regards. grin

Refer to the embedded image below (from page 112 of R. E. Bradbury’s “The Benin Kingdom and the Edo-Speaking Peoples of South Western Nigeria”, 1957) for some educative information in that regards:

Now, that you’ve found out how your people were enslaved and sold-off by the Yorubas, the difference you must now realize is that many Yorubas who were sold-off fought their freedom back home.

However, all the enslaved Edos (on the other hand) remained slaves in the Americas perpetually ad-infinitum.

Objective: To demonstrate with new evidence that my rag — that is, @gregyboy is one and the same person with the moniker @Edeyoung

Proof:
Edeyoung created a topic namely “The Title OBA Is Indigenous to Benins”. See the embedded screenshot below for the evidence of this:
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12846307_98610ddff0e24fc496bd42b6a7eab4f1_jpeg_jpegf75cfc9d205394c0399ce34f2bc590e9

One of the first “Replies” he received on the thread is from a certain @Ayoemrys as seen in the embedded screenshot below:

Following @Ayoemrys’ comment, another Nairalander (@Luckyheart) “Quoted” Edeyoung’s original post and inquired for the “Source” of his jibber-jabber.

Edeyoung replied [i.e. “Quoted”] @Luckyheart’s inquiry as shown in the embedded screenshot below:
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12846310_cf48e67f7e7648b190079b92d8f360a4_jpeg_jpegd3d7453bc98afdf591371dfba76dc41a

After replying to @Luckyheart’s inquiry, Edeyoung was now set to also reply to @Ayoemrys’ comment. But something went awfully wrong this time around.

Yes, Edeyoung replied [i.e. “Quoted”] @Ayoemrys’ comment. In fact, in his reply to @Ayoemrys, he proudly identified with his own post while again naming the source of his inspirationjust as he had done in his earlier reply to @Luckyheart.

This time around however, he forgot that he had already logged out of his Edeyoung moniker, and that has now logged in with his alternative moniker namely gregyboy. See embedded image below:

Q.E.D.


Summary:
Having multiple accounts is no big deal, except if the intention is Ill, and if it arises out of inferiority complex as is the obvious case with @gregyboy AKA @Edeyoung.

Cheers!

Busted and even overbusted. Gregboy is equal to Edeyoung.

We are not your brothers cos we don't share blood, what you have with western Igbos is a story of simple migration and return migration.

Bini used to be a thriving kingdom that attracted various stocks of Igbos from their homelands: craftsmen, juju men and merchants alike.

When Bini kingdom casted they jejely started returning towards their Kith and kin in the East grin

Don't misconstruct our stories of returning from bini to mean we are Edo people.....even Igbanke people in Edo state today know they are Igbos not edo cheesy

You bini nairalanders are supposed to be tired of this your tomfoolery here by now
being the oldest tribe in Nigeria, I believe the great igbos once rule over Benin empire and to an extent yorubaland. The story of moremi even confirmed it. I also heard that in those days even till date, that before a new king will ascend the throne of Benin , emmisaries must be sent to Nri. I heard it's done in secret to avoid pride and insults

Wonderful! cheesy

But to respond to this for the purpose of putting the information out there:

(1) I’m not sure who announced Igbo as the oldest tribe in Nigeria, what I’m sure about instead is that the oldest human bones found in the whole of West Africa comes from Yorubaland — Iwo-Eleru to be precise. It dates to circa 7,000 BCE.

(2) Moreover, at no point in ancient times did the Igbos rule over any Yoruba kingdom (i.e. including Benin kingdom) nor did the ancient Igbos even rule over one another.

(3) The Moremi episode actually has nothing to do with a group ruling over another group. It also has nothing to do with south-easterners of present-day Nigerians.

Rather, it relates to guerrilla raids on the ancient Ife city by disgruntled Ife residents who had been expelled to the forest (or igbo in Yoruba language).

While the Yoruba word for for “forest” coincides with the name of the south-eastern Nigeria ethnic group, I am not sure if this name also mean “forest” in the south-eastern language.

Moreover, the Moremi episode is conspicuously absent in the traditions of the Igbo people of south-eastern Nigeria.

Yet it is present in both the traditions of the Ife people as well as in the traditions of the Ugbo* people of which the Olugbo is king.

*”Ugbo” is an Eastern-Yoruba dialectal variation of the same word IgboForest. The Ugbos trace their roots to a party of the expelled Ife residents.


(4) I would let the Binis here explain themselves as to whether or not Benin (in addition to sending to Ife) also send emissaries to Nri on the ascension of a new Benin king. LMAO!

In the meantime while we await the Binis to clarify whose servant they really are, see the two attachments below for some context.

Cheers!

You never missed an opportunity to misinform the gullible and less informed. You prey on people's ignorance alot, I don't know if this is deliberate or you are just less informed yourself or you don't think about your logical conclusions before you present them.

You start by presenting a faulty narrative to prepare your gullible students and then support your hypothesis with unrelated citations to make your argument look and sound authentic.

Your submission and citations doesn't explain how some genetically Edo people ended up in America.

Reasons why your logic is faulty:

According to your own citations/reference, the raids into Edo North by either the Nupe or Ibadan happened after the middle of the 19th century.

1. Your reference didn't say that Edo villagers were captured and sold into slavery, this is your assumption.

2. By the later part of 19th century when these raids in Edo North were said to have occurred, transatlantic slave trade was already banned in America. See below.

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that provided that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect on January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution.
Long title: AN ACT to prohibit the importation of slaves, into any port or place within t...
Effective: January 1, 1808
Enacted by: the 9th United States Congress

3. Though there were still illegal trades in slavery up till 1870, most of the cargoes went to the sugarcane and cotton plantations of the Caribbean.

4. People of Edo origin/heritage could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through other means but not through your wishful thinking.

5. There are people and tribes from Lagos, eastern Yoruba, south east, south south and middle belt Nigeria that traces their origins to Benin. Edo indigines could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through anyone of these people/tribes not through Nupe and Ibadan raids in Edo North in the middle to late 19th century when Benin was in decline.

6. I have already disproved that Ogane couldn't be Ife, please stop deceiving people with it.

7. Archeological study of Ife dates the earliest settlements to the first decade of 16th century. Ogane/Benin history was recorded in the 15th century.

8. Ogane was said to be in the opposite direction from Benin, not the direction of Ife.

9. Ogane was said to be a 20 moons or months travel from Benin and a distance of about 900 miles, Ife is less than 200 miles from Benin and the journey couldn't have taken 20 moons or months.

10. Ogane does not sounds like Ife, Oduduwa or Ooni.

11. Please don't tell me that there were artworks found in Ife older than 16th century, even if this is true, which I doubt, it doesn't prove they were made in Ife.

12. Hope you will not come back with insults as usual after you have been lectured.

Tao11 the pathological liar grin....you have ressurected me by mentioning Igbos again in your unending stream of lies which I will thrash one after the other cheesy


( 1) Igbos remain the oldest Distinct group of people in modern day Nigeria with a history dating back to 6,000 years ago
The remains in Iwo eleru(which are not really human remains as you claimed) dates back to 43,000 years while yorubas only started settling the area around 12th century, how could this be the ancestors of Yoruba people? grin

Igbo people that spoke a language very closely related to modern igbo resided in Ile ife before yoruba started coming into the area from modern day Kogi state.

(2) Obatala who is the first Oba in Ile ife(Igbo omoku) is an Igbo priest, so clearly Igbos ruled yoruba in Igbo omoku (ask me for evidence) cheesy

Agreed the moremi episode has Little to do with modern day south Eastern Igbos but with a distinct Igbo group that inhabited ife(Igbo omoku) prior to yoruba arrival(s).

The moremi stories are absent in the history of South eastern Igbos today simply because it has nothing to do with them, the Igbos mentioned in the moremi story are now in ondo state as the ugbo people and they preserve alot of their Igbo traits till this day.


To anybody doubting the Igbo roots of ugbo people note that the most successful ruler of ugbo/igbo people while they where in ile Ife(Igbo omoku) is named "Ekenwa" grin....how Igbo does that get? grin grin

Tao11 the pathological liar grin....you have ressurected me by mentioning Igbos again in your unending stream of lies which I will thrash one after the other cheesy


( 1) Igbos remain the oldest Distinct group of people in modern day Nigeria with a history dating back to 6,000 years ago
The remains in Iwo eleru(which are not really human remains as you claimed) dates back to 43,000 years while yorubas only started settling the area around 12th century, how could this be the ancestors of Yoruba people? grin

Igbo people that spoke a language very closely related to modern igbo resided in Ile ife before yoruba started coming into the area from modern day Kogi state.

(2) Obatala who is the first Oba in Ile ife(Igbo omoku) is an Igbo priest, so clearly Igbos ruled yoruba in Igbo omoku (ask me for evidence) cheesy

Agreed the moremi episode has Little to do with modern day south Eastern Igbos but with a distinct Igbo group that inhabited ife(Igbo omoku) prior to yoruba arrival(s).

The moremi stories are absent in the history of South eastern Igbos today simply because it has nothing to do with them, the Igbos mentioned in the moremi story are now in ondo state as the ugbo people and they preserve alot of their Igbo traits till this day.


To anybody doubting the Igbo roots of ugbo people note that the most successful ruler of ugbo/igbo people while they where in ile Ife(Igbo omoku) is named "Ekenwa" grin....how Igbo does that get? grin grin

The last time I devoted a flogging session to you, you wept profusely to the mods, claiming that I bullied you. cheesy

You were subsequently ignored because you lacked the stamina to soak in the torture without complain.

I really do hope something has changed this time around.

(1) There is no evidence that Igbos are the oldest group in Southern Nigeria.

All “Nigeria” ethno-linguistic groups spread out as distinct ethnic-linguistic groups from the region of the Middle Niger — mostly around the N-B confluence and above it.

They all settled into their present respective locations at about the same period of history.

The Iwo-Eleru human bones do not date to 43,000 years old. The Yorubas did not settle in from modern-day Kogi state.

The Yorubas have occupied their present location since many centuries BCE, not 1200 CE.

There is no evidence that modern-day Igbo people spoke a language similar to that spoken by the then forest dwellers of Ife.

(2) Obatala was not the first king in Ife. In fact, Ife had no singular monarchy overseeing its affairs prior to the present dynasty.

There is no evidence that Igbo (i.e. forest) in the context of ancient Ife relates to modern-day south-easterners.

(3) Lastly, the Moremi episode has everything to do with the Obatala Igbo (or forest) group as re-enacted till date in the annual Edi festival.

You have claimed that the Moremi is “absent in the history of South eastern Igbos today simply because it has nothing to do with them”.

Yet, somehow you want to claim Obatala in the same breath.

I wonder what logical reasoning sounds like to you. Scary? cheesy Or are you the new Binis in town? grin

(4) The name Ẹ̀keńwá has absolutely nothing to do with pre-Oduduwa Ife. It’s instead the name of one of Oduduwa’s later successor/descendant.

Yes, I understand your excitement, a modern south-eastern Igbo word sounds like it. cheesy

Here was my earlier reply: I do not [wish to] waste precious [productive] time debunking a teenager’s WISH-LIST. LMAO!

If you have have anything that looks like evidence for any of the items on your wishlist, then knock on my door. grin

Nigerians are already convinced that your Oba is a Yoruba man from Ife.

No amount of damage control from you can undo that. I did the damage. grin [wicked laughter].

[Moreover] ..., the Yorubas raided and sold your daddies [and mommies] into slavery.

Yet, you’re here arguing that the Yorubas only used them for [ritual] sacrifice and not for sale. grin

For now, go and play with your mates. One of them is already waiting. See below! cheesy


On a second thought, I felt you may actually be genuine with seeking a devastating blow to your growing uncontrollable delusions — hence the following piece-by-piece debunking: grin

samuk:
[s]You never missed an opportunity to misinform the gullible and less informed. You prey on people's ignorance alot, I don't know if this is deliberate or you are just less informed yourself or you don't think about your logical conclusions before you present them.

You start by presenting a faulty narrative to prepare your gullible students and then support your hypothesis with unrelated citations to make your argument look and sound authentic.

Your submission and citations doesn't explain how some genetically Edo people ended up in America.

Reasons why your logic is faulty:

According to your own citations/reference, the raids into Edo North by either the Nupe or Ibadan happened after the middle of the 19th century.

1. Your reference didn't say that Edo villagers were captured and sold into slavery, this is your assumption.

2. By the later part of 19th century when these raids in Edo North were said to have occurred, transatlantic slave trade was already banned in America. See below.

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that provided that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect on January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution.
Long title: AN ACT to prohibit the importation of slaves, into any port or place within t...
Effective: January 1, 1808
Enacted by: the 9th United States Congress

3. Though there were still illegal trades in slavery up till 1870, most of the cargoes went to the sugarcane and cotton plantations of the Caribbean.

4. People of Edo origin/heritage could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through other means but not through your wishful thinking.

5. There are people and tribes from Lagos, eastern Yoruba, south east, south south and middle belt Nigeria that traces their origins to Benin. Edo indigines could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through anyone of these people/tribes not through Nupe and Ibadan raids in Edo North in the middle to late 19th century when Benin was in decline.[/s]
You’re a fraudulent dullard. grin The report does NOT say Nupe OR Ibadan; rather your people reported to Bradbury that they were raided by both Ibadan and Nupe at different periods of history. grin

Moreover, the report gave a timeline to the Nupe raids — that is; the later part of the 1800s.

However, the same report specifically mentions that PRIOR to the Nupe raids, your daddies and mommies had been heavily raided by the Ibadan people. grin grin

And the Ibadan raiders didn’t sacrifice all your daddies and mommies to Yoruba deities as you want us to believe, rather they were largely sold-off into slavery. Deal with the mess. grin

6. I have already disproved that Ogane couldn't be Ife, please stop deceiving people with it.
Disproved? Lol! Does “disprove” now have an alternative meaning?

Oh, wait! You dIsProvEd just as Trump dIsPrOvEd tHaT BiDeN wOn tHE elEcTiOn” ??

I really wonder how living in denial helps you as a coping mechanism. cheesy

Anyways, to break your plastic heart sweetheart, every single historian on the subject in the world today have closed out on the discussion of the identity of the Ogane — he is none other than the Ooni of Ife.

And I can cite you several references off the top of my head for that.

Wake up! Make some espresso coffee! Smell it! grin

7. Archeological study of Ife dates the earliest settlements to the first decade of 16th century.
A load of ignorant dog crap which could only be found in the mouth of a Bini President Buhari, and from an Edo blog (or Facebook page) of another Bini President Buhari. cheesy

Ogane/Benin history was recorded in the 15th century.
Yes! And many settlements had already been established in Ife by the 4th century BCE according to Paul Ozanne’s report of a preliminary archaeological survey of Ife.

Moreover, Frank Willett also obtained many dates of circa 800 CE from charcoal samples of human activities in Ife.

8. Ogane was said to be in the opposite direction from Benin, not the direction of Ife.
Well, maps produced by European cartographers from the same early period beg to differ.

These maps have the ”Kingdom of the Oghene” clearly labeled over Yorubaland.

And I have with me at least one of such maps with all its accompanying notes and information. cheesy

Scholars have for reasons such as this hard information from maps (amongst other informations) re-visited additional illuminating facts. These facts include:

(a) That the mention of the word “east” (in the Portuguese notes) was apparently supplied by the Binis in relation to the sun rising, viz. “the place from where the sun rises”; or “the place from where dawn comes”; etc.

(b) That the Oba Eweka II performs daily morning supplications first to Ife (and then to other parts of Yorubaland); and he does this supplications to Yorubaland while he faces the rising sun at dawn — literally backing Yorubaland. ~ H. L. Ward-Price.

(c) That Ife was known throughout most of the western stretch of the Gulf of Guinea by the religious epithet: “the place from where the dawn comes”. ~ Maupoil cited in R. Horton. Also, Akinjogbin cited in Bondarenko.

All these facts thus forces the unavoidable conclusion that the Binis supplied the information on the Ogane’s kingdom via their own everyday religious-cum-non-literal reference frame, viz. “the place from where the sun rises”.

On the other hand, the Europeans who were on the receiving end actually received this same information via an entirely different reference frame — that is, a non-religious-cum-geographical/literal reference frame, viz. east of the King of Beni.

Hence the reconciliation of the hard information from the early maps with the information from the early notes.

By the way: I am not claiming credit for this explanation or conclusion; rather, this is the prevailing conclusion of historical scholarship as it stands today.

9. Ogane was said to be a 20 moons or months travel from Benin
While I cant vouch for your Math abilities, I have in fact demonstrated with a basic easy-to-follow computation that this number is precisely accurate with respect to Ife.

and a distance of about 900 miles, Ife is less than 200 miles from Benin •••
The reporter of this information (d’Avieros) makes it plain (in his note) that the figure he stated for distance is his own personal guess — and thus that no Bini gave him any such information about distance. grin

The 1400s Binis apparently do not speak the language of miles, leagues, etc. to begin with.

10. Ogane does not sounds like Ife, Oduduwa or Ooni.
Well, no historian said Ogane sounds like three words at the same time. LMAO!

What historians hold instead is that the word “Ogané” (a Portuguese rendition of a local word) is the same as the Bini word “Oghene” (a word by which the Binis refer to the monarch of Ife even at times in present-time) and also the same as the modern word “Ooni”.

Yes, this is what historical scholarship holds. The direct opposite of your ignorant dog-shit. cheesy

11. Please don't tell me that there were artworks found in Ife older than 16th century, even if this is true, which I doubt,
LMAO! Your delusions are actually unbounded! cheesy

Well, IFE’s stone (immovable) and iron sculptures dates from the archaic and pre-pavement era (pre-800 CE - 1000CE) just as much as its terra-cotta sculptures and ‘bronze’ sculpture dates, based on thermoluminescence test, from 1000CE to 1400CE.

it doesn't prove they were made in Ife.
LOL! Insecure little brat! cheesy Yes, the Ife artworks were indigenous Ife production.

I have once schooled you extensively on this by citing examples of unfinished sculptures found in-situ by Frobenius’ team.

I have also cited examples of terra-cotta work (e.g. Lajuwa head), ‘bronze’ work (e.g. Obalufon mask) and quartz work (a sacred stool) which were all in the possession of the king prior to the first Ife excavations.

As a bonus, Frank Willett obtained dates of circa 900 CE for potsherd pavements (that is: “ancient street tiles” which are still firmly fixed to the streets, some till date) from Ife

12. Hope you will not come back with insults as usual after you have been lectured.
Again, I never insult you. I only call you your monikers like “dullard”, etc. especially when you become unteachable even on basic high-schoolers’ stuffs.
