gentleheart1: Is it Benin that have a well documented history. All the ethnic group in southern Nigeria have distorted history because they were not literate compared to the North that are literate before the colonial era came due to Islamic education. Benin is as confused as other ethnic group in southern Nigeria. 1 Like |

Etinosajay: In Yoruba tradition the Oba do not go to the brides family during wedding. His family will do everything for him. Do you want Oba to postrate to his in-law, it is a taboo. |

scholes0: Oba went on a journey so his son has to be crowned the new Oba in his stead. If you still ain't convinced, please take a walk to the Oba's palace, @ d gate, inside the compound take a walk down your left and you 'll find a small hut down the extreme. Get inside and find out if the Oba is dead. Good luck. 2 Likes |

Gaddafithe2nd: History book states that Oduduwa came from the east. that in itself is a fact. The east of Yoruba land is Benin Kingdom. But because of superiority claims, Biased historians decided to change that east to the far east. And that in itself is where the facts were deducted . If we decide to be more objective, It would be easy to figure out the facts. |

prettyprecy:Lol... When they said East, can't you see it is vague. It can be east from the Igbo Land, Borno from the Northeast or far east which is an arabland. Why did you decide to choose Edo. You are talking with sentiment. You are the type that abuse historians aren't you partial. They even have evidences but you don't have. People sha always want to twist history. |

Etinosajay: Bro, pls stop this fallacy about Yoruba disrespecting other tribes. Yorubas hasn't gone to Benin to claim they own they land, they havnt been to Onitsha, Kano or Warri to claim superiority. Every tribe is guilty of claiming to b d best. I lived n schooled in Benin, Yorubas don't av abusive name for other tribes unlike other tribes, some part of edos av abusive name for Yorubas and I don't know any abusive name Yorubas call Benin or Edos, so who is lampooning and disrespecting who? You and I know that different tribalistic comments sometimes flood nairaland and every tribe is guilty of that. I don't know whr u got ur claim that this present Ooni claim Binis are Yorubas from, this Ooni seems to b humble as he has shown wit his visits and peace campaign across Yorubaland. You said he ought to have visited the Oba's palace in Benin during his wedding, to see who? The dead Oba, the vacant throne or the Crowned Prince dat hasn't taken over? That the crowned prince senior the Ooni in age doesn't mean the he knows the Yoruba history more than the Ooni. Mind you, the claim that the oba of Benin is part of the children of Oduduwa is boldly written in their history and it's been taught in schools. I blive the Benin version too is available to students of Bini language. So don't blame anyone for these claims from both side. It's wat they have been taught by their fathers and the fathers before their fathers. We should know that. 1 Like |

Gaddafithe2nd:Yorubas were already existing as people before izoduwa aka oduduwa came. So there is no time Binis claim Yoruba came out from them. How is that possible oduduwa came from Arab world when there was no flight then, when he wasn't captured as slave. Considering the distance from Egypt to Nigeria so he didn't see anywhere to settle but Ife. Bini only have one story about izoduduwa aka oduduwa but Yorubas have like 5 story about him. What does that tell you huh. The truth is Yorubas don't know how oduduwa came to their town and he never told Yorubas due to he left Bini kingdom as a result of dispute. |

During the time if Prophet Muhammed when he and his followers were persecuted in Mecca, he travelled all the way from Mecca to Abyssinia (Ethiopia). Guy know dey talk that thing again |
Re: Eheneden Erediauwa To Be Crowned Oba Of Benin by hensben(m): 7:50am On Mar 16, 2016 |
Gaddafithe2nd:i goofed, how? Or na you dey confuse about oduduwa. my point is, there is no way oduduwa will head down west when Arab countries were surrounding him to settle. Ok how about other Yoruba authors that said he fell from the sky. That's to tell you they don't know how oduduwa came to Yoruba land. |
Re: Eheneden Erediauwa To Be Crowned Oba Of Benin by Gaddafithe2nd(m): 7:57am On Mar 16, 2016 |
hensben:I am still saying it, all the accounts have read on Oduduwa none of them talks about him coming from Benin. If your historians talks about him hailing from Benin, that is for you Benin people. As have said before, history of people from the southern Nigeria comprises of error due to their lack of documentation. Any account you believe in hold it and respect other peoples accounts about history. Simple |

The man on the Benin throne carries the face of a man and the voice of a lion, that when he speaks even the soil of his entire domain trembles and can be felt by every terrestrial creatures on it. He is UKU-Akporlorkporlor often regarded as a demigod The 1000years dynastic succession of the Benin monarchy continues to flourish as a new king prepares to ascend the throne, am not an Edo person but they way i see them regard their King has left me breathtaking.

Niyinficient: I do not need any soothsayer to confirm my earlier assertion. Yorubas show disrespect to traditions of other people, especially here on Nairaland. Evidence again is contained in this your very response. So if the ooni had visited benin, he would have shunned the Crown Prince? Do you know what Crown Prince means in Benin? Per benin tradition & custom, the crown prince is taken through a lengthy rites and rituals before ascending the throne of his forefathers. He is the Oba already. This is known immediately he is born, not by election or what have you, like elsewhere. So I hope you got that correction now. So bini have abusive names for Yoruba? There you go again with your lies and half truth. I was born here, and live here, so maybe you now know benin more than I do. Another lie you people massage your ego with is also contained in your response. Can you provide the Edo book written by our benin historian that says benin came from yoruba. See my friend, you can chose to believe whatever you like about your own history, but when it comes to mine, I do not need a stranger to tell it to me. That is what annoys me, you know and hold your history which is sacred to you, and you want to write that of others for them too. I recognise that in the days of old, different cultures may have mingled, as you said in a different comment, but that is what it is. I just hope you guys can swallow your pride and stop peddling false claims. |

Gaddafithe2nd: Note: I am not Bini I am a historian. Yoruba land was already in existence before the coming of Oduduwa. Kings like Obatala had ruled yoruba land before Oduduwa came to yoruba land. According to oral traditions there was a Vaccum in the palace that needed to be filled by someone chosen by the ifa and ifa stated that a man would be found in the forest and that man turned out to be a bini prince that left his Kingdom (The story that Oduduwa came from the middle east sounds like a fairytale just like saying he descended from the sky) Also note that prior to that period there was no relationship between the yorubas and the bini's. And also the system of government before the coming of Oduduwa to yoruba land was a failure. Have you wondered why it became a sucess during the time of Oduduwa till date? Because Oduduwa had experience with kingship and was coming from a Kingdom that had a centralised system of government. The ogiso ruled bini Kingdom for a very long time before the transitioning to The Oba kingship system. Also Note that if Oduduwa never had a relationship with the Binis. Why would he be called upon to rule. And also there is no similarity whatsoever with the Bini and Yoruba culture The only similarity is in their political system. Oduduwa was never a progenitor of the yoruba race. He only started the present kingship system in yoruba land. What you need to do is find out who Oduduwa truly is. 1 Like |

monex: TOYIN Aimakhu is history/myth? MODUPE Ozolua is history/myth? John Odigie OYEGUN is history/myth? Yoruba accounts have not been disputed by the Binis. The issue is that, Binis have decided to add to history by saying Oduduwa is Ekaladerhan from Benin so as not to be inferior to Yorubas. There lies the problem. Oduduwa came from the middle east. Yoruba language has words with arabic origins. That's the evidence. |
Re: Eheneden Erediauwa To Be Crowned Oba Of Benin by VirginFinder: 11:08am On Mar 16, 2016 |
monex: Hardly will Binis bear children and not give them at least one Yoruba name. And of course, the names cannot have Bini meaning because they are Yoruba names lending credence to the fact that many Binis do understand Yoruba somehow. Bini and Yoruba account are the same just that Binis claim Oduduwa is Ekaladerhan from Benin. Whereas, Oduduwa is from the middle east. Go and look for your Ekaladerhan elsewhere. Oduduwa is NOT Ekaladerhan! |

VirginFinder:Binis with Yoruba names do not make up to one percent of the population. Do not be deceived. Among almost twenty children from my father, I am the only one that has a Yoruba name due to my being a twin and my mother from Usen. Oyegun= Oyegunmwendia. For a sickly child or an Abiku. |
