macof: I didnt say there was no Edo group before Oranmiyan, wat I said was dat he displaced the former kings of the land and made his first son to continue, Edo is in no way yoruba but their kings are Yoruba 1) Oranmiyan did not reign in Benin. 2) Edo Kings are not Yoruba. |

The Ogiso dynasty wasn't heriditary. It was more like a traditional/customary democracy setting where the kingship rotated from town to town amongst the natives of the Benin Region who are the Ijaws, Binis & Urhobo. Here is one more identifiable Ijaw Ogiso after the first two " Ogiso Erebo (618– 632 CE), was a fisherman and canoe carver, chosen from Okhorho quarters. (IKORO is an Ijaw community in Olodiama clan) He had a repertoire of stories about sea animals such as mermaids, sharks, crocodiles etc. SOURCE: http://www.edofolks.com/html/osahon_ogiso_dynasty.htm But today, the Oba of Benin (who is in fact a migrant) is describing the Ijaws in Edo state as riverine settlers from Bayelsa! 1 Like |

I am from Ipe Akoko in Ondo state, and when we speak it sounds more like an edoid language. Eg the king of our town : ovie umihani ama. Good morning is - wai loghi. The thing is that we(Akoko people in Ondo State) have those that speak yoruba dialect and those that speak other dialects/languages that are not Yoruba. But it is generally accepted that we originated from Ile-Ife, so we are Yoruba. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Thanks Ghost01. The thing about Akoko is the fact that it is not just one town. It has numerous towns and 4 LGAs in Ondo state. Towns that speak what most yoruba speakers will understand include Ikare-Akoko (that's what I meant by yoruba dialect) . Places like my town (Ipe-Akoko) speak a dialect which some Edo people can relate with. So I was not referring to just 1 town macof. 2 Likes |

An old thread but I should add this quickly: Ancient Benin/Edo used Oghiso, not Oba. Prior to Oduduwa, Ife (Yoruba) had several hamlets all headed by Kings. The lineage of these kings are still in existance and these kings still play the role of controlling their hamlets with Ooni being the overall head thereby reducing them to what seems like 'Chief-King' status. Some of these kings before Oranmiyan was born or even went to set up Oba Benin in Benin Empire were: Obalufe, Obawinrin, Obalaaye, Obatala, Obadio, Obaloran, Obajio, Obalurin, Obanurin, Obalale, Obalesun, Obalejugbe, Obalepon the list is long, I'll stop here. From the above, tell me how 'Oba' which means 'the person overseeing, sitting, lording over everything' is a Benin word again and how Yoruba borrowed it and used it for many centuries before Oranmiyan went to give Benin 'Oba of Benin' dynasty. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Adejube John Smart Olusola
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF IPE
AKOKO Ipe Akoko The story my
grandmother told me, she was
from the family of Apata in Iba
from Ipe Akoko She who is name
Late Madam Grace Apata aka:
Asumahu was the only surviving
daughter of her mother who died
last and d oldst . Her mother gave
birth seventeen times; she had
other step brothers and sisters.
She however married to a royal
family from Ipe Akoko, a village of
about six miles to Isua and
Epinmi. She lived in Ipe main town
iba town with her husband name
Alfa saliu Adejube; they told me
little on how we get to ipe main
settlement Grandmother’s story as
explained by her Husband goes
thus........... .......... Ipe people fought
many wars in the past, in fact it
was told that Ipe people never eat
monkey because they believe, they
have a tie with monkeys. In those
days, according to the story
whenever they went to war the
monkeys turned out to help in
defeating their enemies. And if
you asked any senior citizen in
Ipe, he/she will corroborate this,
much cannot be said about the
younger generation, it seems
history is fading away that is why
one needs to preserve the history
at least for the next generations
to come. The monkeys used their
tails to hold the local guns, which
turn to a stick of broom; the
enemies would only see monkeys
and not the people. I do not know
how true this story was but I
want to believe that the people
themselves turned to monkeys to
protect themselves from the
enemies. Till today they still refers
to monkeys as their kin The first
crowned king of Ipe Akoko was
Ajagbi, he was betrayed by his
own people when he led them to
war as a result of this, he cursed
the Ipe peoples that never will
they have a king with crown after
the statement he sank into the
ground with the crown in his
head. Water flows out at the exact
place where he entered into the
ground. Up till today the water is
still flowing and it was named
Owii. River Owii becomes a
sacrilege, it becomes a goddess
rivers. Thereafter, another older
man became the king in Ipe
Akoko he only ruled for six years
before he became sick and died.
After a year, Obaya became the
king, he ruled for many years and
one of his two sons was destiny
to become the king after him.
Again, it was told that lion ran
into the house and ran out during
the birth of Job the first son born
to the king; well what this
connotes could not be
ascertained. However, the
grandfather was made to leave
the palace because he committed
taboo, he saw the person under
masquerade and reveal the secret
which was an abominable act to
Ipe People, the king was asked to
produced his prince for sacrifice.
The queen who came from the
lineage of Apata, for fear of what
the villagers might do to the royal
prince she therefore took the
prince to her family with the
queen’s royal stool. Because the
prince cannot be trained outside
the royal house, it is forbidden.
That marked the beginning of
power shift. He stayed with
queen’s family until, he turned
seventeen he left home for Ondo
town and became a steward
inside one of the Portuguese ship.
He worked and travelled with
them until he saved enough to
start his own business. His line of
business was in building
materials, in fact his house was
the first house built with roofing
sheets in Ipe village. For many
years Ipe village remained
without having a king, however,
king emerged from Apata family
of recent, to rule Ipe people. It
must be told that history will keep
repeating itself as Apata lineage is
also entitled to the throne, but
nobody could denied it that the
queen’s royal stool was taken into
Apata house hold to train the
prince there. The story still stand
today that the queen came from
Apata lineage, the Yoruba people
believe that if your father house
rejects you, your mother house
will never denied you. Thanks to
dis lovly mum who is now late,
who died early 2013 and the final
outing is jan 2 2014 brings al is
great grand son together to eliten
them on history and many more

Are you surprised? many of your clans are edoid linguistically, Ogiso is an Edo word and it literally means king of sky. The root word for king in Edo is Ogie, similar ones Among Edoid groups are Ovie, ojie, oje and so on. Ogie is the Benin word for king just like the Olu of warri bears Ogiame because of the link to Benin, there Is Ogieamien too, and there are several Enogie scattered all over Edo south. OGIE-KING,ISO-SKY hence the term Ogiso meaning the sky king. It is literal and every Edo man can interpret it without batting an eyelid,OGISO is pure Edo word unadulterated 3 Likes 2 Shares |

old thread, pardon me for waking it up Osa(o'sa) is an abbreviation of orisha. It means a god. I believe the 'O' is from the Yoruba word 'Ori' which means head. Your head is also your destiny. That is why the ancients use orisha to set their destiny. Someone here said 'Osa' means sea. This is also correct but the pronunciation is different. The 's' sound in this case is as in snake. On the other o'sa, the 's' is like in shake. 1 Like |

aljharem:That those words means something in Yoruba doesn't mean they belong to Yorubas Then you might as well claim that these Igbo words were also borrowed from Yorubas IMI (Nose) ÒNU (mouth) IWE (anger) but Yorubas call "iwe" book mind you, IWE is not an ancient word for Yorubas (it was formed along the line but it has been existing in Igbo language right from the beginning my point is, don't think all word that sounds Yoruba belongs to Yoruba |

Naughtysex: You don't have proof regarding the usage of words in ancient times. Don't start making things up. Jokes aside, the origin of the Yoruba word IWE is not necessarily the same as it's meaning. I believe the origin of IWE has to do with LEAF or WRAP. Now the word also means book. I'm not faulting your point though. I agree with you, people shouldn't get hung up on written words, the pronunciations, meanings or origins are more important. |
