ok. I agree with you. But why do Bini people have Yoruba names? Why don't Yoruba people have Bini names?



Remember Alexander the great conquered Egypt and till today there is a city in Egypt with the name Alexander


The English conquered our country that's why we have people here with English names.



If truly the Bini conquered Yoruba land, why don't we have their names? And why do they have our names?
I only asked if Bini truly conquered Yoruba land




I never said Yoruba conquered Bini. I'm not interested in that and it does not add anything to my life




I believe you can read you're only trying to twist it

I do not understand how your question is relevant to the discussion. Size is not a criteria. Isreal is in the midst of hostile Arab nations who are culturally and economically more powerful but we know who has the military spunk.
The Mongols conquered China!

This is baseless. First you people said its ile ibinu, now you are saying ado or oredo. Must you lie to prove your point.

Incase you dont know im not from benin neither am i yoruba.
But judgung from a neutral point of view the benin version sounds credible.

Which ever way you look at it yoruba is at a loss here.
Its either you accept that oduduwa was the banished benin prince or oduduwa came from mecca which means saudi arabia is ruling you people or oduduwa came from the sky which a myth and sounds foolish.
CHOOSE
so it's a lie that he descended from heaven but it's true that jesus who never existed ascended to heaven?

Calm your hot nerves down.

Those were various names Benin people were calling their town before Oranmiyan named it Ile -Ibinu.

It can sound credible to you but a fallacy to us. We have asked questions we want them to deny a which they cannot.

They kept on hammering on their lost prince called Izoduwa and we said their prince never wandered into our territory and maybe he followed a mermaid to under the water.

Can they deny SOS was sent to Ife?

Can they deny that Oranmiyan was sent to Igodomigodo?

Can they deny that Oranmiyan impregnated their princess and the union produced Eweka?

Can they deny that Eweka went ahead to be the King and his dynasty is still standing till today?

Those are undeniable facts.

Benin people arent denying any these. From what i have gathered their only issue is oduduwa is the banished prince , the son of the last ogiso. But yorubas wont accept these because it means that benin monarch is supreme to any yoruba monarch.

I like that you dont through insult when arguing. Keep it up.

Dont bring Jesus into this. Lets face the matter at hand.
And you cant deny the fact that im right that either your kingdom is ruled by benin bloodline or ruled by saudi blood line. None of them are true yoruba sons. I know it hurts but you folk wont keep shut about this issue.

Just advice your kings to leave thing the way they are because i dont see the benin people accepting your own version of history.

The China that was defeated by the mongols is not the same China we are seeing today. Back then China was divided into many clans and tribes. This present day China can not and never be defeated by bush men like the mongols not even by the usa...



And about Israel, did Israel conquer any Arab country like you believed Bini conquered Yorubaland?

We know Oduduwa's father. They should look for their lost prince somewhere else.

Facts are meant to be indisputable. if their claim is just a mere conjecture it can NEVER stand as fact.

The facts we have presented to them are undeniable by them.

Once they have further undeniable fact that Izoduwa is Oduduwa, they should present it, rather than basing it on guess work and hypothesis that does not hold ground.

I am not that nice online. I am nice and civil when people are. So far people have been very matured in this discussion.

Thanks for the compliment.

Why dont yoruba send a representative to the oba of benin palace and see if they can findout more information on oduduwa/izoduwa.
Also they should take a look at the ogiso dynasty artifacts and see if there is any similarity with that of the yoruba kingdom

All those one nah long thing.

Just tell the Oba to come out in black and white that he is not from the House of Oduduwa.

That will put the matter to rest.

Of course he wont do that simply because he knows oduduwa is the son of the last ogiso.

And mind you the way yoruba idolises oduduwa is quite different from how benin sees him.
To benin he is a banished prince, to yoruba he is their founder. Take note

Wrong. In fact the Ogiso Igodo, first ogiso of Igodomigodo (as Benin became called alongside the name Idu) was also called Oba-godo. He reigned from about 40BC to 16CE. Roman senate appointed Herod as King of Judaea in 40BC too.

There were 31 Ogisos from 40BC to 1100AD. Between 1100-1169 was a time of turmoil as no male heir. Ekaladerhan had been banished in this tumultuous era. A noble man, Evian and later his son, Ogiame ruled. Infact Ogiame prevented Oranmiyan entering the heart of Igodo/palace. In fact, it took Oba Ewedo (1260-1274) to defeat Ogiamien army/supporting chiefs in several battles to enter Benin and built the new palace. About 90 years later.

These battles are colourfully re-enacted and Ogiamie symbolically defeated before a new Oba can be allowed to enter Benin/Palace, at coronation. Last one was in 1979. History is alive in Benin, every old street, village, shrine, palace activity andnd all have a detailed history behind it.

Eweka was the First Oba Of benin, after the Ogiso dynasty .

And Eweka is the son of Oranmiyan a Yoruba man

Eweka I (1180–1246)
Uwuakhuahen (1246–1250)
Henmihen (1250–1260)
Ewedo (1260–1274)
