Afam4eva:
The things that happen with these new era kings. I thought they said the Oba of Benin does not leave his palace.

YOU THOUGHT?...that sums it up.

usibengate:


Guy stop lying against your culture and kings. We all know the story, of how the banished prince was made the king at Ife and how he gave birth to other princes in which Oronmiyan was the last of the all.

Even in the British library here, this version is that is on shelf

Falsified story..Oduduwa has reigned more the 600years before Oranmiyan was born

Which means Oranmiyan is the great, great, great and great grandson of Oduduwa

A stranger has never and will never dispose a Yoruba king in any Yoruba lands.

Benin people needs to be educated about history.

INFANTS!!!

Don't mind them. Ignorant people everywhere.

This is the only two reasonable kings, I have ever seen in Nigeria, including emir of kano, sanusi lamido...
I love the way they handle their citizens...

Chi59:


Don't mind them. Ignorant people everywhere.

I tire for these children of slaves.

The Ooni present has visited the Oba in Benin and the Oba is returning the courtesy.

Besides, this has already happened before Erediauwa visited Adesoji Aderemi in 1979. There is nothing but amity between the two kingdoms.

odigbosky:
To all those Ignorant people here who have come here to show their high level of ignorance well let me educate you all.

1. The Oba leaves his palace, His grandfather Oba Akenzuwa visited England. His own father Oba Erediauwa did a nationwide coronation thank you visit where he visited many palaces across Nigeria. This present Oba is doing just same. He has Visited Buhari, the Sultan and now he has visited the Ooni as i earlier predicted. His next visit would be to Onitsha and i expect some dundies to run here and run their mouth when that happens.

2. All coronation rights have ended and he isn't going to do any in Ife, please can you yorubas just focus on how to keep the emir of yorubaland from running his mouth and leave my King alone. At least the Ooni sharea the same state with the Emir of yorubaland.

3. We the Edo people want to use this medium to repeat ourselves, neither did we or our monarch come from Ife, we might have shared many historical ties which is what empires do as there is barely any tribe in southern Nigeria that doesn't have Benin in its folklore.

4. Oba gha to kpere......ise

Ise!!!



Those re-writing the history of the Benin/Ife are mostly kids of slaves returnees from Sierra Leone and Brazil. They needed an identity after the Kiriji war and started these nonsense of Oba of Benin is son to Ooni.

The same Ooni who was at the coronation of Oba of Benin, the same Ife that has a stool designated for only the Oba of Benin and its refered to our fathers stool.

These two king's have visited and greeted themselves already, probably the Benin Oba is probably chilling in his palace right now with a fresh virgin girl and some cool music...

Yet you idiots are here trying to claim "superiority" over who?


The idiocy... Christ!

macof:
Bini people did not come from Ife
It is only the royal family

yeah I think u are right , it's either the 2nd or 3rd son that went to benin , met people and rule over them after they got him angry then he named it Ile Binu now called Benin instead...once again u are right ..

NwaAmaikpe:




This yeye Oba travels more than a runs girl.

Ozuo King.

Do you always have to display your insanity at every threads....i really feel for your mother..

Shebi dem say oba of benin doesn't go out

Onijagidijagan:

You people argue so blindly, sometimes required to be flogged 25 strokes before getting wisdom.

Have u ever read d history of Oba of Benin? the first king that brought Oba to Benin is from Ife.

And Ife was his ancestral home. Don't be impress with d ibos on nairaland giving you cheap likes you don't warrant.

All Obas in Nigeria and beyond migrated from IFE.

If flogging me would make you feel better then we should arrange location for the flogging to take place.

Meanwhile the Oba Visit is part of his thank you your. First part was done last year and it was northern kings he visited. This one is part of the second thank you tour.

Seeing them I doubt if they are tryna do any supremacy battle cus as leaders all dey care about is the $$$$ and connection they can share. That’s y the politicians keep riding on the masses because they keep fighting for inconsequential things.

Bless you

Wealthandjobs:

Is this the place d Obas head is buried

I don't know oba of Benin goes out

No big deal. Oba of Bini is visiting his ancestral home.

BabaRamota1980:


No Yoruba has ever said Edo people are from Ife. We dont know you and dont care where you come from or go to.

Bini is our son and our people and you can fill a library with all kind of literatures you want to contradict it...writers and researchers before you have recorded their truthful findings and taken oral narratives from Bini courtiers as evidence of Bini roots in Ife.

Please stop making Edo important in Bini, you are non entity. Your Ogiso reign is over long ago, this is Yoruba dynasty in Bini, bow to the Omo N'Oba, and the Omo N'Oba bow to Oranmiyan, his ancestor.

If you are not happy with the arrangement feel free to reinstall your Ogiso back in power, lets see if you can.

Can't believe anyone could still be this daft in this 21st century. The most authentic literary piece on this subject by the immediate past Oba of Benin is an authority in this debate any day. Ooni is the son of the Benin monarch and is also a stranger in Ife.

You need help.

Small pikin wen dey play with fire, no go understand d risk wen dey involve until he put his hand inside d fire..... Those people insult oba of Benin sha surely die young....continue but remba say small pikin no ride trailer...

You should go back to your primary school and ask any teacher available to immediately give you a very hard knock - its called a factory reset. You urgently need one right now because fallacy is clearly your past time.

Rex123:



You guys say shit, the Ooni has been to the bini Palace twice. The ọba is just returning the courtesy call.

You can imagine how some of them would have lost their heads had it been the Oba of Benin visited his son (Ooni) before the sultan.

luvablesam:


Yu are obviously Yoruba n illiterate

Father?

dafeyankee:


Father paying his son a visit.

Onijagidijagan:

Keep running your mouth like a foolish person.. I can categorically say you're not a Bini person. is either you're from IBO or Auchi.

Oranmiyan (Yoruba)
Oba (Yoruba)
Uselu(Yoruba)
Omo(Yoruba)
Iye Oba(Yoruba)
Bini (Yoruba)
Eweka(Owomika) (Yoruba)
Amongst many other Yoruba words.

You're just blinded by ur hatred for Yoruba.
6 years ago on nairaland, Edo people were claiming Eweka is their first Oba until Oba ewuare ll set d historical fact straight that Oranmiyan was a king in Bini.

Lastly you still believe Oba of Benin came to Ife for nation wide coronation visit after two years or more? this is preposterously untrue.

Many Edo towns trace their kingship title to Yoruba lands eg Benin, Ibilo and some Akoko Edo towns.

You are a classical case of the dilapidation of education in this country. Oba Ewuare didn't say anything new. What he said was that in numbering of kings of Benin, it should actually start from Oranmiyan. Oranmiyan himself being the son of Oduduwa (Izoduwa or Ekaladerhan) who himself was the son of the last Ogiso Owodo. Oba Ewuare's father, Erediauwa has already in his wisdom written down all those histories for generations unborn - though not for stiff neck ignoramuses like yourself. So try harder little boy, it would only be you blowing out air from your mouth against the torrent of the wind. Inconsequential!

Exclusive: 20 million Yoruba descendants await Ooni 10-day historic visit to Brazil By Ayo Oluwole

No fewer than 20 million blacks of African descent, many of them of Yoruba extraction are waiting to receive their own black Pope, the Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, who in June embarks on a 10-day historical visit to Brazil. 

Brazilian cities and downtowns have been agog with the picture of the Ooni beginning from this week with millions of workers requesting for day offs in order to receive the Yoruba King that many blacks in Brazil see as the symbol of their history and heritage. Radio stations and TVs are agog with reports of the historic visit. The Ooni is expected to be received by the President of Brazil,  Michel Temer.


"The black Pope is coming to Brazil. We are proud. It is the most outstanding symbol that we blacks in Brazil have culture, heritage and civilisations inspite of the attempts to wipe off our past", Pontio Saluba of Rio De Janereo wrote in his face book. The Ooni is the spiritual head of the Yoruba estimated to be millions of peoples spread indigenous to about 80 countries.

Millions of black Brazilians see Yorubaland as their ancestral home and the Ooni their link with spirituality in a foreign land where many of them were exported as slaves hundreds of years ago.Many of them believe the Ooni has healing powers and that mere seeing his face can enact some goodwill and personal fortunes.

A release from the royal palace signed by Moses Olafare and made available to Irohinoodua said the historic visit is to strengthen the cultural affinities between the Afro-Brazilians and Yorubas in Nigeria with a view to using cultural heritage for an economic partnership that will be beneficial to the two countries.

He said the trip will also strategically enable the African foremost monarch to showcase tourism potentials of Nigeria attracting Brazilians to the country under the diaspora programme and open an heritage house as an export point for Nigerian businesses under the Nigerian Diaspora Exchange of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council(NEPC).

As the Spiritual Head of Yoruba race globally, Ooni Ogunwusi is saddled with the responsibility of uniting African descendants of Yoruba extract throughout the world estimated to be more than 500 million in over 80 countries.

Ooni Ogunwusi who recently honored the outgoing Brazilian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mrs Maria Auxiliadora Figueiredo with Oodua Descendant Award of Excellence in recognition of her efforts in promoting cultural exchange between Nigeria and Brazil, attaches utmost importance to the South American country recalling that over 13 million people most of whom were Yoruba were taken from Africa to Brazil via Bahia, many centuries ago.

The population has greatly increased as we today have about 80 million Brazilians claiming thier ancestral root back to Ile-Ife in Yorubaland and still keeping our heritage intact till date in their country. This also informed Ooni's choice of States of Bahia, Rio De Janeiro and Minas where the Yoruba cultures are being proudly showcased to be the historical visit destinations.

Ooni Ogunwusi will be in Salvador de Bahia to declare the City of Bahia as the spiritual Capital of all Yorubas in the Americas, he will be in Rio de Janeiro to present a message on religious tolerance and peace at the State Parliament and also meet with the business community. He will deliver lectures at some Universities alongside Professors Wole Soyinka, Wande Abimbola, Sophie Oluwole etc.

His visit will mark a new beginning with giant strides capable of strengthening the age long diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Brazil. This will allow cultural, economic and spiritual exchanges that will yield revenues for our people.

The Afro-Brazilians are proud to be connected to the ancient Kingdom of Ile-Ife being their cradle and eager to visit their roots from time to time as they daily troop out enmass to view the giant statue of Olokun Bronze Head(ori olokun), one of the biggest tourist attractions in Brazil conspicuously located on one of the busiest Highways in Rio De Janeiro to immortalise Oduduwa believed to had come to conquer slavery for them many centuries ago in form of spirit.

Other functions to be performed by the Ooni during the historical visit include a prayer procession for peace and repose of the souls of enslaved Africans, receptions by the State government of Bahia and Salvador Municipal Authorities, Declaration of Bahia as the Yoruba Capital in the Americas, meet the Governor of Salvador De Bahia, unveiling of the statue of Oduduwa in Bahia, Declaration of Annual Yoruba celebration in Bahia, MOUs on the teaching of Yoruba language in Bahia state schools, visitation to Ori Olokun heritage site in Rio De Janeiro where Nigerian products will be displayed, visit the Tomorrow Museum at Rio, attend Inter-religious meeting at Cristo Redentor Church, meeting with Governor of Minas, visit to Yemoja Square at Pampulha Lake, Business Forum at FIEMG - Minas Gerais State Industrial Federations, Dinner with political, cultural and religious and human rights leaders.

Ooni Ogunwusi who will be accompanied by 120 entourage to include some notable traditional rulers, aides, cultural troupes, business captains, prominent herbal medicine practitioners, representatives of relevant government agencies like NIPC, NEPC, NTDC, and other stakeholders like NACCIMA departs Nigeria on the 6th and expected to return to the country on 17th June 2018.

These Yoruba guys of this generation are simply an embarrassment to literature and historical perspectives. Going down memory lane is a waste of time with them. You cannot bend an already dried fish lest it breaks.

But for the few amongst you who are a little bit above tge bar, I hope you know what symbolism means. Certain things are done to project or make particular statements.

Look at the chairs these two kings are sitting on and tell who is actually the baba.

Though I hate going down this low, but its important sometimes.
You give the high seat to your Oba even when he visits your domain. Buhari would always have the high seat whenever he visits a governor. That's the message being passed here. Open your brains!

Are you sure you are alright? I doubt it; your insanity must be of a very high rating.

the Ooni for the most part usually seat in that chair he sat on it has nothing to do with superiority or whatever nonsense u are saying. Below is a pix of him seating on the same chair when the olota came to visit him, does that mean the olota is the Ooni “oba” and u can even google the place the Ooni seat for the most part when other king comes to his domain and u will see the same thing so nothing reflects “baba” about it as u will like us to believe.

Omo no'ba ne Edo is different from Omo Oba.

We know. Omo N'Oba means sister of Oba, not Omo Oba.

expert234:

Don't mind those fools that relish in giving Omo noba a godlike personality that he himself doesn't lay claim to

This is one of the reasons our youth are thought to be lazy (basic intellectual laziness that is).
Someone just made ignorant statement and you vented your frustration.
What they said is," Oba no dey go transfer" and not "Oba no dey travel". This should be simple enough.

ritababe:



the Ooni has visited the oba of Benin twice

tell them.
