Culture / Re: Yoruba Revisionist Please Answer This Questions Begging For Answers by slurryeye: 7:56am On Mar 24, 2017 |
Dude stop wasting valuable time in displaying your hate against Yoruba. There has been Yoruba thousands of years before you were born, Yoruba sons and daughters are doing spectacularly well everywhere in the world today, Yoruba is setting pace for other tribes to follow in Nigeria, and there will be Yoruba thousands of years after you have gone. Channel your energy towards something that will benefit you and people around you. To answer your question, there are architectural structures of ancient Yoruba empires and cities such as Ile Ife, Ijebu and Oyo Ile 9 Likes

Culture / Re: Oyo Empire A Yoruba Folklore Another Myth Bursted by slurryeye: 3:37am On Mar 24, 2017 |
afonjaheadhunt: Why should I put your initial quote that is like 10 pages long? That is very unnecessary. Just show how my links corroborates your fabrications that Old oyo empire was a proxy to Dahomey and Benin. You see, I like pre-colonial African history, and I take pride in finding out that there were kingdoms, Empires and Cities in sub-sahara Africa before the white came to plunder it. But one of the most difficult thing for historians about sub saharan empires is lack of written records. However, the existence of the empires can be substantiated by oral traditions, archeological evidences, attestation by someone from another empire or region and existing culture and tradition of the old empire Now to your terrible fabrications. When it comes to oral tradition about Old oyo empire, not only there are consistency in the narrative of Old oyo empire descendants, there are hundreds of books and first hand accounts out there written by the first set of westerners to contact the indigenous people of Oyo (I can provide copies if you want). When it comes to archeological evidences, there are tonnes of evidences that showed that Oyo was a very influential empire in pre-colonial 15th to 19th century west africa. Another important evidence was the discovery of art works that suggest the region must have been a big settlement of people in a kingdom or empire. Don't let us forget the account of different westerners that saw Oyo army and Calvary (I believe you know what calvaries are, and how it depict civilization). https://csweb.bournemouth.ac.uk/africanlegacy/old_oyo.htm https://www.jstor.org/stable/25130772?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Find attached below some of the ruins and archeological findings of old Oyo empire Attestation by someone from another empire: Ahmed baba of Songhai empire(I'm sure you don't even know who that is) in his book in the 16th century wrote about Old oyo empire. If Old oyo wasn't an empire, I doubt how Ahmed baba living thousands of miles away could know of the place. Culture and tradition: up till date, the culture and tradition of Old oyo is being practised by the descendants of the empire. So much so that, the culture was carried across the atlantic and practised in over 7 countries in the new world including Cuba, Brazil, Jamaica, Colombia, USA etc. This single fact defected your lie and insultive fabrication because if Oyo was a proxy to either Dahomey or Benin, the tradition and culture of both places will be infused in the lifes of descendants of Oyo and not the other way round. Like I said earlier, your post is made up of lies and fabrication filled with hatred you have for Yoruba. It is based on absolute no evidence or source. If I have the time and know your tribe, I can write something 100 times more terrible things. http://www.fsmitha.com/h3/h28af3-4.htm http://www.afropedea.org/oyo-empire http://www.africabib.org/rec.php?RID=190927143 https://africa.si.edu/exhibits/ipi/yoruba.htm 9 Likes 2 Shares

afonjaheadhunt: Like you challenged I will provide you with sources from westerners First source: Britannica encyclopedia Oyo empire, Yoruba state north of Lagos, in present-day southwestern Nigeria, that dominated, during its apogee (1650–1750), most of the states between the Volta River in the west and the Niger River in the east. It was the most important and authoritative of all the early Yoruba principalities https://www.britannica.com/place/Oyo-empire Second source: Frobenius Institute Germany http://www.frobenius-institut.de/sammlungen-und-archive/ethnographisches-bildarchiv/42-das-institut/119-nigeria-100-years-ago Third Source: Reasearch in African Literatures, African and Afro-American Studies and Research Center Author: Judith Gleason The two greatest warriors in the time of Shango was Timi Olofa Ina and Gbonka Ebiri. By this time, Oyo have emerged to be the administrative capital of the Oduduwa dynasty. He had the priest he put in charge of Ife ( Son of Owuoni, the woman that should have been used for a sacrifice but spared because she was with child) to oversee the affairs of the kingdom while he built a new kingdom at Oyo. This is one reason why Ife was the spiritual capital of Oyo and Benin empires for centuries. In both kingdoms, the Ooni of Ife must send certain regalia of office at the installation of a new monarch for them to be legitimate. Do you want more sources? There are hundreds of first hand account of westerners that came to Yoruba land in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Your argument has been faulted by providing absolute no source to support your humongous lies and fabrications. Just like you do, I can sit down and write something more terrible about your tribe if I have the time. Funny enough, you wrote that epistle and challenge people to provide source for a counter opinion, but you didn't provide one single source. Boy free your mind from hate I will urge people that really care about history of different tribes of Nigeria to check out Nigeria Nostalgia project pre-Nigeria discussion forum on Facebook. There you will meet alot of Nigerians and Nigeria descendants based all over the world exchanging knowledge. @OP I challenge you to put this your trash in that forum 11 Likes 2 Shares |

seunny4lif: Apart from what you said, China supported NK against SK and US during the Korean war, guess what? It was a stalement. Till date NK and Vietnam are the only communist country like China in the far east. Now you know how strong an ally they are. Though everyone knows NK is being ruled by a dictator, but NK is like a bad child to China, no matter how mischievous he is, China will never allow a stranger to beat him at his backyard. And if Trump "Mr orange face" thinks he can bully NK, he better think again. Japan supporting US will make it more interesting because China has been looking for a way to pay Japan back what Japan did for them during the WW II and sino-japanese war 4 Likes 1 Share |

Moreso, the US senates won't be so dumb to be arguing about a uniform, and if the US senates do argue about uniform with secretary of homeland security, then no american will be wrong to call the uniform stupid. |
