Afriifa:
who berated Igbos? in which of my comments? guy please stop spewing trash to win sympathy from the Igbos. dis is withing Edo N Ijaws leave the Igbos out of it. they have a lot of issues to deal with already. asshole.

Elose11:
My friend, you started well until you began delving into your so called Benin folklore you know next to nothing about. That so called folklore is as told by the Ijaw.
Benin never migrated from Ife. The Benin folklore says that their ancestors originated from the sky. Therefore, the Benin king then was known as Ogiso, meaning king of the sky.
Ife came in when the kingdom started having internal strives.Since they could not agree on a king among themselves, they then send to their prince who had earlier fled to Ife to escape been killed to come and rule over them.
It was this Benin prince who had become a ruler in ife and is now called oduduwa, that sent his son to rule Benin.
As you can see, my friend, there is no where in Benin folklore where it was said that the Benins migrated from Ife. It was only a Benin prince who had now become the ruler of ife, that sent his son, oranmiyan, to rule Benin in his stead. And only when the Benins requested him to come over and rule over them

MasterChen:


Hahaha. I feel you with the emboldened

I wonder why we don't wear beads anymore sef. E come be like say na dem get am

Ten06:

I believe somebody has already gone to the villa to report the issue some few days ago, it's like they are waiting for them to start crowning again so that they can be picked up and locked up like ezazaki and Kanu

Afriifa:
Hmmm. at least they are wise enough to read truths.

Provalker:
Ijaws own the land in contention, Benin people should respect themselves.

Yyeske:
Easy bro, please let it end there and nothing Igbo would come up here but you guys should settle this dangerous drift amicably.

historyworld030:
You guys say you love those ijaw in gelegele, but you keep playing with their lives.
What is your purpose ?
It is clearly established that Gelegele is part of the Benin Kingdom.
The matter has already been to court in the past.
The proof is still available, yet you just keep making the same silly claims.

Yyeske:
I've learnt so much history on this thread but conflicting narratives from both sides and I'm really confused, who can please give us an unbiased account of the Ijaws and the Binis as relating to this topic?

Afriifa:
No dis thing is becoming too much.. dis Oba of himself feels like he's the King of Niger Delta ought to be worshipped by everyone.. the Ijaws in Edo has always been treated as second class citizens.. now they want their pere and dis selfish oba is objecting. n instead of dis self acclaimed educated people to reason and solve this peacefully. a governor publicly threaten to jail those involved in the coronation... what d hell does he think he is.... i leant from books. the binis met the Ijaws in d Delta. nobody can dispute dat.. we welcome other tribes because we never had much interests in the inlands. we were more interested in water ways because that's predominately our livelihood. so how d hell will d bini claim to be land owners because their Oba is there?.

Afriifa:
you will can only masturbate about dat issue online. i will fvck u back to d yorubas in ife as slaves. nonesense

historyworld030:
What was decorating your "kings" palace when the british arrived ?
And what wars did your "kings" fight against the british ?
Which ones of your kings got exiled by the british ?
You are just like the illiterate who claims he thought a professor how to read.

Yyeske:
I did and that was why I didn't want anybody to mention Igbo again after you did, we need to quench the taste for problem between both groups instead of bringing the Igbos into the fray.

historyworld030:
So the guy who wrote that book must have been alive to see the Edo come into the niger delta and meet the ijaw ?
For your info the Benin Kingdom is at least one thousand years old.
I would love to see that guy who was there to witness the events and write the book long before any person who could write ever visited the region.

All precolonial maps show Gelegele as being part of the Benin kingdom, but I guess your magical unknown book has it otherwise.

historyworld030:
I once saw one ijaw man mistreating one white girl when I was in france. I regret why I didn't kick his ass.
I told him to take it easy and that he shouldn't treat her like that.
Jeez I should have kicked his ass.

ObalufonIII:


This is very pedestrian but I’ll engage you just to box you up in a corner.

If you want to know about my king before the British arrived go and read what your king told the Portuguese explorers in the 15/16th century about my king, Oghene n’uhe.

Also go and read about the Egba & Ijebu wars against the British.

Also, go and read about Eleko Kosoko.

Uyiii:

can't spell within because of your stupid argument or you're ordinarily a dullard.
I've observed how you've been tryna cause a mishap between binis n yorubas in this small thread just to garner stupid likes and supports from them, crafty/devious entities

I thought you should know the Oba of benin arrived today, no too much noise idiot

odigbosky:





make una leave us alone oooooo
we no gree....we no be afonja....shuo
na force to be afonja again....today u guys would be hating..2moro u guys will be claiming us....and please even before Oronmiyan we had an Ogiso called Obagodo...so Oba aint a yoruba word only.....So bros park well no vex

Afriifa:
if its a lie why r u so uncomfortable, u av an Oba n a Governor to defend it.. but i av truth on my side, so neither ur selfish oba or ur stupid Governor can hide it.

historyworld030:
Ijaw, you guys need to stop your fabrications, and get more educated. Edo history is too well documented. And contrary to what you think, the Oba of Benin is not just the Oba of Benin City. His real title is Omo n'Oba n'Edo. He is the King of the Benin Kingdom. Benin City is only the capital of the Benin Kingdom, not the Kingdom itself ! Edo state is a small part of the Kingdom and you ijaw are trying to crown a "king" in a part of an already established kingdom. I hope you people can understand this and stop your madness ! When you migrate into an area, try and learn the history of the land. Don't just start making claims of "we were here first" and don't start "crowning" your "son" in a foreign land, you might get slaughtered by the owners of the land. This is an advise and a warning!

historyworld030:
The matter had already been decided in court in the 80's I think, so why not go through the ruling.
Some migrants are trying to crown a person in parts of an already established Kingdom.
