upper iweka road in onitsha was named after a benin king oba eweka the 1...the past SGF of anambra state is called mr 'obaze' a benin name which means 'the king's choice'...most people especially in anambra north has ancestral lineage to the benin kingdom...thats enough influence read wide bro

You go just open your mouth dey talk wetin you no know.
Who told you that 'Obaze' is not an Igbo word?
And you think also that 'Iweka' is an Igbo word?
My friend,there's no major influence Bini has in Anambra apart from the normal incidence of cultures mutually borrowing from each other.

dederocs:

The Benin Kingdom was an earlier dynasty/kigdom than any other Nigerian tribe, how is it possible that a small town will rule over a Kingdom... Stop believing stories of people falling from the sky.

Mr man,stop saying things you know nothing about.
Who told you Benin Kingdom was the earliest compared to other kingdoms in Nigeria?
This is the kind of revisionist histories you people make that you use to claim other people's lands.

If you are an adult, then you must be DUMBER than i initially thought!!!! Your answers to my posers are at best vague, stupid, without logic or commonsense and can at best only be conjured up in the dark recesses of a moronic slowpoke like you. It took an EDO prince to civillize you dirty, cowardly loudmouths...FACT. The EDOs eventhough smaller in population than you dreckfressers, conquered your towns and villages with ease, a fact that you morons acknowledge even uptil today by naming some of your dirty little cities and villages after the mighty warriors from ADO ( EDO) e.g ADO ekiti.

You have uptil today descendants of yoruba slaves all over South and Central America sold to the Portugese by the all conquering EDO army. Deny that fact you stupid slowpoke. Name any part of the world where descendants of EDO slaves can be found? Answer, nowhere. That y'all morons had to burnish up your weak-ass history by trying to rope in a mighty kingdom into your degenerate little history is understandable though. How else can you hold up your sorry heads and admit to the whole world that a warrior-like people who are just a fraction of your own populace. ran roughshod allover yorubaland, capturing and subjugating your dirty and cowardly little asses?

The EDOs were a civilized and organized people long before oduduwa, ife or anything the lying yoros have to throw up as their history. Twisting historical facts to push a weak narrative has become the yorubas stock-in-trade. Your oduduwa was supposed to be a philandering Arab prince, flying around the world on his jumbo 747 mat fixed with a rope for disembarkment and looking for a place in the African jungle to start a new race of people called yorubas. PHEWWWW!!!! How believable is that even to you? No wonder most of your so-called obas bleach their skins to look like Arabs or is it Arab halfcast. Phewww once again and good night.

Why do people continue to respond to you? You seem to know nothing but full of emotions and twisted every history just as your fellas. The Bini that is not even up to Ondo in everything now claiming West, East and South.
For your information, Ado was the Yoruba name given to Bini because Oranmiyan settled there. He gave you the name, Bini, prior to this, you were known as Igodomigodo and you were being ruled by Ogisos not Obas. Ado and Ido are Yoruba names for settlement. it's part of Yorubas' vocabulary just like Oba. So Bini also established Ado in Ota and all the Idos in Yorubaland? You people should hold on to your real history not all these sensational and emotional stories that never genuine or constant for one day you people are peddling around.

Return, not arrival, he went from Benin to sojourn and conquer smaller lands, which he did.

The Benin empire is the oldest established empire and dynasty in Nigeria... How is it possible that they allow one not from the royal lineage, from another tribe rule them?

Pls think...and do you really believe all those myths that Oduduwa fell from the sky, concocted folklore are what you are narrating.

Does the name Eweka sound Yoruba to you?... Plus I will make you know that most streets in Lagos Island are Edo names... Idumagbo, Osa etc.

Was Eweka born in Benin?

If not, how did he 'return'?

What is the name of Eweka' s father?

Oduduwa fallen from the sky is simply the spiritual aspects of Ifa ideology and not the real story.

That is, Oduduwa has two narratives, the spiritual and the physical. You can't understand.

Who gave the name 'Benin' or what was 'Benin' called before the first Oba?

The fact that their leaders are'nt fighting for them does'nt mean they should'nt fight for themselves,and is it because they are fighting for their rights with the federal govt dat made them to become bad people?U said they are enslaved and how will they get freedom if they don't demand 4 their right,wen dem keep quiet una call dem ignorant mumu people and now dem decide to wake up 4rm dia sleep una say dem be trouble-makers,abeg go pack ur face 4 wia contain u,rubbish.

lol, the silly benin guy who asked "Does Eweka sound like Yoruba" simply does not know his own history, because if he did, he would know that "Eweka: is in fact the Benin corrupt rendition of the Yoruba word "Owomika". My hand has reached it.
How he came to be called that is another interesting history for another day. All these Bini children that don't know jack.

mulattoclaroo:
there won't any coexistence between we the Binis and the land grabbing ijaws. The last time they tried this their land grabbing ish in Ubeji, they met what they didn't expect. Ijaws are fond of always trying to create a rift wherever they are. Ask yourself when last ijaws lived in peace with any of its neighbours? I'm not a fan of violence but Ijaw as a tribe are pushing their luck too far. It's becoming too much. We the Binis have respect for royalty and that's why we went straight to the place. Ijaws should respect themselves. If they know they can't live in Edo state peacefully, they should kindly join their people in Bayelsa or Rivers or Delta. I'm sure they would be very much happy to receive them.

Are you okay? They should leave their land and join Bayelsa?

Hehehehe! No mind the guy. I wanted him to answer those questions before I gi-am the meaning of Eweka.

They even alluded Benin is the oldest Kingdom.

I think some of them are revisionist.

RockHard:


Guy, did Oranmiyan establish the Benin Obaship system that is extant today, a simple yes or no answer would suffice. Look, just so you know, I am not here to debate about whether or not Benin kingdom ever existed or performed exploits during its heydays. I honestly don't give a shyt bout none of that. I'm just here to terminate una lies about Oduduwa's origin, and correct the lies some of you are spreading about the ORIGIN of the 'Oba of Benin' title.

who is orammiyan and where did his father come from?how can you make someone without a royal blood a king?

let say your father was a prince in nigeria and he left for germany where you and your siblings where born, after many years his father(your grandfather)pass on and the chiefs in nigeria sent from him to come and be king,he refuse and sent you instead
what are you a german or a nigerian?

That is Benin school of thought. We still have the image of Oduduwa but he doesn't look like Benin people. You know.

enomakos:
pls is gelegele in delta state or bayelsa?

We are talking of tribes territory not state, gelegele is in Edo state, there are more than 7 tribes in Edo state, Ijaw people are indigenous people of Edo state, Bini don't own Edo state alone

how do you know how benin people looks like in the 13century?

Efewestern:
this bini people should leave warri out of there madness, why are they dragging warri into this ?, how dare them declare a single tribe as the original owner of warri? , they shouldn't think because people are quite they can tell who owns warri, Urhobo, itskiri and ijaw both control there part in warri and we are happy with that. they should face they land and lets others be.

for those of you calling ijaw land grabber you know nothing about ijaw, ijaw land extend to ondo and Edo, most oil producing communities in Edo are ijaw communities.

they think this is 300yrs ago, try ijaw people, them go show you pepper, overated edo people..

funny dude, you say benin people are overated right?

GavelSlam:
Gelegele is Ijaw land.

Ask one single Benin man if he knows anyone who calls that area his ancestral home.

Nigerians are full of mischief.

gelegele is in which state?

lindaz12:
Ijaw own that land fact

agege also belong to the hausa and fulani abi?

GavelSlam:


Simple question from iguarakhi to Ikoro Olodiama to Gelegele which Bini would point to those places as their ancestral home?

Just one example.

who owns the fucking land not who settle there?

nonsobaba:
If na with juju, bini people go win. But if kala is the standard, then the binis will have themselves to blame for picking the wrong guys to beef.

you think we did't have kala?
Hahahaha

The greatest mistake his country had ever made is removing history from our school system
who ever did it will not end well

enomakos:

Their artifacts are available for the world to see.

enomakos:
gelegele is in which state?

It is in Edo State.

However, it doesn't change the fact that people of diverse cultures live there.

Edo state has, Bini, Esan, Afenmai, Igbanke, and even smaller minorities such as itshekiri and Ijaw.

There has never been any major dispute over ownership of the separate homelands.

However, whenever developments are being sought to be provided some unscrupulous people always want to make material gains by creating acrimony.

I am well aware that communities such as Iguarakhe, Ikoro Olodiama and gelegele are not Bini homelands.

That's why I have asked the question which Bini man can point to his ancestral home in these places?

Plz don't mis-inform the public...Binis are very hospitable and such hospitality shunt be taken for granted. Those tribes like itshekiri, urhobos, ijaws are tenants in Edo land..while afemai, ishans all have their ancestry traceable to benin. Ijaws always want to claim riverine areas as theirs this explains why they have always be at logger heads with itshekiri, urhobos, ilaje..to mention but a few. Renaming of places in ur Tribe cos u settle there doesn't gives u the right of ownership. For example Chinatown in USA can't be said to belong to People Republic of China simply cos it now bears it name. Just watch...the Ijaws have bitten more than they can chew...their end is near...they dared the Benin monarch.

Very simple question, were those locations ever occupied by the binis? If so, when did they abandon it?

If the ijaws are tenants, what was exchanged as tenancy, what was the agreement, to whom was royalty paid and an example of such occasion?

Any neutral would know you are a criminal.

If you say you own it under what circumstances did the ijaws occupy it?

The ijaw parasites have decided to lay claims on our lands now. I blame edo people. You allowed igbos to invade esan land, allowed fulanis to invade akoko now ijaws are in Benin.
