Why do you people come up with all this nonsense?

Oyo wasn't the largest or longest running empire
Wiki says Ghana empire was 300-1200

And in size, Mali, Kanem-bornu and Songhai were larger than Oyo

I stopped reading when you said Ewe and Aja are in Benin city...that just made me laugh seriously

says the man who calls the father of his King a myth

Your problem is to diminish the Yoruba, I appreciate your effort, cus if you didn't see glory in Yorubas there won't be anything to try to beat down
It's a compliment you honour me really

...
True the royal lineage is Bini origin..the people are of Ijebu and received later Igala settlers
That's why you have Ijekiri - Ije kiri - Voyage of wandering about
Like Ijebu - Ije bu - voyage of the deep


Itsekiri ancestors were wandering Ijebu seafarers

stop your bigotry. Even the Itsekiri are now coming out to embrace their Yoruba blood

Macof - I hope you know Wikipedia is an open file that permit any person to edit?

So try to always provide scholarly or academic or well researched work, not Wikipedia. to power your claim. For most part, historical entries in Wikipedia by Nigerians are manipulated and embellished.

SurePresident:

Yes, I meant to say Ewe and Aja are in modern Benin, even your links show that they are in modern Benin Republic. Envious fault finder, I wonder what's your headache about that. Also, I repeat, Oyo Empire is the largest longest ruling Empire in Africa. Is English that difficult for you to understand? Ghana empire was the longest ruling but never the largest, not even up to 1/4th of the great Oyo Empire. Hence Ghana, empire was the longest ruling but never the largest longest ruling. Yoruba Empire still retains the title of the largest empire to rule that long.

MrPresident1:
I think a dog raped your mother while she was pregnant for you irreversibly fuccking up your DNA, I think this is why you go about frothing in the mouth like a rabid soon to perish mongrel, spewing insults on your father’s betters on a public forum.
I am not someone you can cyber bully or cyber intimidate, I have held my patience for you, even deliberately avoided you like the human plague that you are, but it seems you have made an eternal covenant with idiocy and asininity.
I will spare you no longer, I will be your nemesis on this forum, I will destroy you like the rabid dog, that deserves to die, that you are.
I do not suffer ediots gladly, and I wonder why I have tolerated you this long.

This will be your very last warning, I am not someone you can cyberbully, I will destroy you. You are warned.

Macof - another latest Yoruba fables and LIES claiming others ancestry through the back door. Hear your own incoherent story.

So if I'd not stated that Itsekiri were NOT Yoruba and proved they were a mixture of many different tribes and settlers (Ijebus, Igalas etc) who're wanderers and SLAVES under the old Benin Kings, you won't admit this much? (Remember you previously claimed Itsekiris were Yorubas)

You wrote: "Itsekiri ancestors were wandering Ijebu seafarers"

Can you provide solid scholarly work to prove this? I hope you know the meaning of "seafarers"? Bro you mean Ijebus were good on sea in the olden days? Who thought them the secret of the sea? Why are they more sea champion today? How did they 'conquered' the sea from their abode to move far down to present day Warri?

Please provide more scholarly work and evidence for this story. (Do not send me Wikipedia your ilk normally go to manipulate. Let me have a solid academic and research work.)

You wrote: "stop your bigotry. Even the Itsekiri are now coming out to embrace their Yoruba blood"

Am sure you're referring to the political alignment? Maybe you're too young or lack proper understanding how politics works in this country since the 60s. Political alignment has been an integral part of the Nigeria politics, and is not new.

Let me give you some example:

>> The present day Edo/Delta once aligned with Yoruba of the mainstream South West, due to proximity to each other. Macof, does that translate to 'embracing another blood'?

>> Awolowo once led Yoruba nation to align with the Fulani North, which he used to massively benefit the South West in the early 70s. Macof, does that translate to Yorubas embracing the Fulani's blood?

>> The Yoruba in Kwara and Kogi, have always (since the 60s) 100% aligned with the Fulani/Hausa north and most of the political Juggernauts such as late Sunday Awoniyi, Olushola Saraki etc, were trained by Saudauna of Sokoto and were fully integrated with the Northern politics and totally shun Awolowo AG/UPN. Macof, does that translate to Yorubas embracing the Fulani's blood?

>> Even presently Tinubu aligned with the mainstream Fulani / Hausa hegemonic political power. Macof, does that translate to Yorubas embracing the Fulani's blood?

Here is one big problem about some of you Yorubas: Someone align, identify and partner with you, then you are claiming superiority?

Now let's talk about Yoruba: Macof I hope you still know your real identity among present day Yorubaland? Am Edo. Who're are you really? Are you Egba, Ekiti, Ibadan, Oyo, Ijesha, Akure, Remo, Awori? Which one are you really.

Rants of a deranged lunatic. Look at his words
Is this not a mad man let out of a psychiatric ward?

macof:


Mr.man u have emotional problems, you obviously see yourself inferior to Yoruba that is why you keep accusing Yoruba$of a superiority complex...if you see superiority in a Yoruba that's ur business....but truly am honoured to know you only see superiority in Yoruba even though you don't admit it, it's obvious and it's eating you up

I can't be arguing itsekiri with you, you have placed yourself beneath me already
Just let the itsekiri tell their story...they already are

MrPresident1:
Your father is the stark raving irredeemable imbecilic lunatic who gave birth to a moronic son he wouldn't train properly in societal etiquette.

macof:


obviously with this comments your father failed to train you up.
If your father did his job you wouldn't dare say Yoruba are Hebrews

MrPresident1:
Your raving moronic idiotic father should have told you that ekiti are not Oduduwa. ekiti are aboriginals. They were civilized by Oduduwa. You deranged, frothing-in-the-mouth, misbegotten ediot.

macof:


Olosi. This is the dumbest thing I've read anybody say about Ekiti

rexbuton:
Good post.. Here is the next step..

1. Ask the Fulanis to leave quietly because when Nigeria has entered it's period of turmoil (probably after Buhari dies), Ilorin will be used as a base to launch attacks on the West. And with the Igbos attacking from the Lagoon, no army can fight on two fronts

2. Yorubas should accept the fact that they can never be accepted as true muslims, hence they should all turn to Christ who is the surest and only way to salvation. This way the Fulani will be alienated and leave. Personally I think fulani incursions into the middlebelt should be checked in order not to be caught unawares

3. Arrange a referendum in which people be made to vote for the scrapping of the Emir title. TINUBU can easily swing this.. oh I almost forgot, Tinubu has a religion too... *thinking*

4. Ignore this message and watch Badagry (in Lagos) turned into Baga in a few years

If not for the British, the ekiti would be slaves of the Ibadans till next tomorrow. Ask your father, tell him I told you this.

Ethnic homogeneity comes about by taking over small tribes deleting their history ,rewriting it and then coalescing it into a new whole.

Ekiti are pure Yoruba people. Who are Yorubas? Yorubas are people who ve the same believe that they generated from ile ife and accept oduduwa as their great father. Yoruba is a tribe that believe in asa ati isese (culture) è.g isomo loruko, oriki, ikini won (è ku aaro).
Yoruba is from a niger-congo language family under niger-congo, kwa under kwa, yoruboid.
Finally it was oranmiyan who ruled bini land he left bini land out annoyance and he called it ile-ibinu. Am writing a book on akoko and ekiti it will be publish by sept this year.

Point of correction
[size=22pt]The Yorubas (Kotu-Oji-Re) is not a tribe but an ethnic group consisting of major tribes and sub-tribes. Secondly, the word that has come to be accepted today as 'Yoruba' was never originally of the kotu-oji-re peoples' indigenous language but of a invention born of the descriptive way the Fulani Arabs presiding over conquered territories referred to those dwelling West of South 'Yaribanza' which the British colonials recorded and used to refer to the Kotu-oji-re.
