TAO11:


Met his match, yet scrapped your ancestors' dynasty for about 1000 years and still counting??

The claim that Ekaladerhan even came to Ife (let alone rule Ife) is a fraudulent claim ---- Atigba, 2019

Lagos belongs to the Aworis. The Aworis kept the Bini migrants in camps called "Eko" in the Edo language.

Yoruba ancestors' achivement as at when they Africa as they arrived had never been matched by any group in Africa even the Ethiopian kingdoms or Sudanese kingdoms. Below are facts :

1.The yoruba ancestors thought God to Africans and the world's her religion, which are,Islam,Voodooism, Christianity- extension of Ifaodu(eiphod).

2. Africa worships the Yoruba God called Ora
as Ra in Egypt

3.. The Arabs in the Near East worshipped the Yoruba creator Ela-Ala as Islam's Allah

4.The Yoruba arrived in West Africa and came with their names and language. The Yoruba brought Ifaodu( Eiyphod),some people in west Africa called it Afa.

5. The Yoruba came with Orisa-Risha-Oritse, some ethnicity called it Oliseh.

6.Yoruba came with Peh(pè) to call ,they called it Pon etc.

7.The Britain borrowed words from Yoruba's Abarin and called it Hebrew(to accompany to a place.

8.The Yoruba word which is Kana (same people,same thing) and the British called it Canaan.

9. The English borrowed Yawn from Yoruba yá,á.

10. The English borrowed Iron from Yoruba's Irun-Irin and called Iron.

11. The yoruba crowns with birds , signify power of creation that begun in Middle East or Near East

12, The Rossette found in Yoruba beads or inscribed as a seal on Yoruba's kingly regalia are of Near East origin in which Yoruba's ancestor first lived.

13. Yoruba people helped built Egypt and the record remained there forever because the artifacts found in Egypt when Flinders Petrie has classified these terra-cotta heads with similar objects found at Memphis, and already assigned to the 5th century BC.

14. The Yoruba inscription on Oranmian Obelisk is a Semitic name with a meaning . No other ethnic group have these inscription.

15. Solomon's knot,which is found in Nigeria's Naira is of Yoruba origin.
Lost wax Production:

16. The Yoruba lost wax production was brought to Africa and by the fourth millennium B.C., lost-wax, as well as open- and bivalve-mold cast- ing had been developed in Near East. In the inge-nious lost-wax process the desired image is sculpted in wax, which is then sur- rounded with a clay investment that hard- ens into a mold when baked.

17. A headdress worn by south- ern Mesopotamian rulers in the late third and early second millennia B.C. is a wool cap. These headdress are also found amongst old Yoruba kings,which can be identified in visual Art found in Yoruba land. Research it on Near East history


18. Later in the second millennium B.C. and early in the first millen- nium B.C. a high, fezlike cap was worn in Mesopotamia by nobles and kings. The type of crown are also found in Yoruba land as far back as 1000+ years ago. Research it on Near East history

19. Under the Achaemenid Persians a new crown with stepped crenellations made its appearance. This form, enriched by manyelements such as crescent moons, sun rays, wings, and globes, became the royal crown of Sasanian kings. These kind of crown are also found in Yoruba's kingly crown 11AD. Research it on Near East history

20.Scientific evidence has proven that Yoruba people have no genetic link with pygmy lineage which is present in many ethnic groups in West African population,even with Yoruba neighbours with genetics link to pygmy.


21. Yoruba people in Nigeria have the largest concentration of twin in the World. Even amongst the Republic of Benin, the Yoruba group still maintain this record.


22. The Yoruba word è mí- unshaken, firm as it is , ( dialect) is actually borrowed by English speakers as ‘amen'


23. The said Classic Hebrew which were written 5000± ago is actually Yoruba's language,even with transliteration by the scholars that were employed by king James in 1604-1616 to translate the Bible through Greek translation of the Hebrew scroll to English language.In doubt? Come for the lesson

You people are fooling yourselves with your distorted mind and delusion of grandeur, fake self appraisal ..Awori are from Benin? total rubbish..Aworis are from ile- ife with solid evidence and record at ile-ife ..Laughing from ear to ear ..No evidence of migration route taken to Lagos by the Benin or edo they could possibly flown over the ijebus and the ilajes ''haha!!! ..First Benin in Lagos Island was prince Ado brought to Lagos aboard ship by the Portuguese sailor/explorer...With the Help of the Portuguese and his royal status as direct descendant of Oranmiyan he was made king, "Eko Ele'Eko of Eko known as Lagos Island , he could relate with the locals the aworis fluently in Ede-ife or Yoruba because he was prince and language spoken in the Benin palace was Yoruba .

TAO11:


Yes my brother. History tells us that a number of migrant groups settled, in search of business opportunities, in the Aworis' Lagos-Island homeland.

NB: It is not only the Binis who came to live in Lagos under the Olofin's rule. There were Ijebus, Egbas, Egbados, Ijaws, and some few others that I can't remember now who also did.

And there is quite some shred of evidence, in present time, which bears testimony to this fact.

For example, "Eko" is a Bini word. It is a later Edo phono-semantic matching of "Oko" --- the earlier Yoruba name which the authochtonous people (i. e. the Aworis) called their collective Lagos Island settlement.

A number of indigenous Lagos Island families till date have some ties with Ijebu, Benin, etc. because of the absorption and intermarriages that had taken place between the authochtonous people (i.e. the Aworis) and these business migrants who later joined in to settle under the Olofin's rule.

Another example which I'm more aware of is in the Ikorodu region. The authochtonous people are significantly Ishagamu settlers (who in turn were Ile-Ife settlers).

Many years later, these people were joined in their Ikorodu homeland by a trading group from Benin seeking to settle permanently in the Lagos region in order to have easier access to the flourishing commercial activities in the Yoruba interior, and in the Lagos region particularly.

The group was lead by a certain Eregbuwa from the ancient Oliha family of Benin. Over time, they became fully absorbed into the Yoruba culture and tradition through intermarriages and acculturation.

But today, regardless of the fact that they are Yorubas, the family still retains some memories (although very faint) of its Benin origins.

This family, by virtue of its very early presence in the area, won the right to the Olisa chieftancy title --- which enjoys the status of the left-hand man of the king, or should I say: one of the two right-hand men of the king?

I am an indigenous Lagosian myself, and I hope that my attempt at answering your question was fair enough.

Cheers!

TAO11:


Bro, the Ado who ruled as King in Lagos is not a Bini.

He is the son of Ashipa who founded the dynasty.

And according to the Lagos account (a.k.a. the Awori account), Ashipa is himself an Awori --- of Ife royal descent --- from Isheri.

However, the Bini account has tried to claim him (i.e. Ashipa) as a grandson (or sometimes son) of the then Oba of Benin --- Oba Orhogbua.

A closer look at the evidence has, however, shown that this claim in the Bini account is an outrightly fabricated one.

I also once believed the Bini lie until I found that the authochtonous people themselves (i.e. the Aworis) have something else to say.

And interestingly, evidence turned out to be in support of the Awori account.

Egypt history cannot be complete without the significant impact of ancient Yoruba migrants' history because Igun(vulture) is actually a sacred bird that spirituality is attached to it as sacred bird in Near East ,where Yoruba's history begun.In fact there are steele inscription, portrait inscription to the fact that vulture is highly revered amongst birds.

On the snake, the Olota remain the custodian of the veneration of the peculiar Python breed, which also has Near East's Egypt's, Indus Valley etc and other Africans connection as well.

The actual dress mode of present Ooni ,which is the reason for the noise makers are even in the same manner in the ancient Near East,which is the reason I mock even the many scholars who had ridicule the might of the ancient ancestors of the Yorubas because these people are actually better than us in the area of creativity and adventurism.


Take for instance, the inscription on Opa Oranmiyan, Commenting on one of the characteristics of hieroglyph writings Siculus writes:

“Now it is found that the forms of their take the shape of animals of every kind, the members of the human body, a implements and especially carpenters’ tool their writing does not express the int concept by means of syllables joined to another, but by means of the significance objects which have been copied and figurative meaning which has been improve upon the memory by practice. “

Slideboom in 2011 notes that around 300 the ancient Egyptians had ways to write numbers. They made one vertical line for on vertical lines for two, and so on up to nin ten, the Egyptians made a U-shaped mark 100, the Egyptians drew a coil of rope, a 1000 they drew a lotus flower. They used as to show 10,000. In the Oranyan obelisk, the shaped for ten and the double U-shaped for twenty are not shown while Resh and Y shown on the obelisk. In view of this arrangement of the nails is definitely not representing any number of years. The nail is not supposed to be counted to determine anything in connection with the years  Oranmiyan reigned. The significance off  the arrangement of the nails can on comprehended if it is viewed from a high perspective as a trident.

What's a Trident?

A Trident is a three-pronged spear somewhat resembling a pitchfork.

In Greeks myth ,it is associated to Poseidon's . Unlike the Yoruba, the Trident isnt worship but an inscription that's established as Shepherd's authority ,which is Hebraic in inscription

Unlike Egyptian obelisk, the Yoruba obelisk Oranmiyan lacks a pyramidion – the g electrum at the top of an Egyptian pyramid it has a unique design. Dennett in 1910 “Near the centre of the pillar a horn and axe are carved. Above these figures forty-five centered headed nails in three rows had been driven into the stone, on one side of it ten, and on the other side is  eight, while below twenty of these curious still remain.”

Generally, in this modern era, a trident is an or evil symbol. In some Christian mytholog an instrument of the Devil. According to Sy (nd), it is “Called the devils pitchfork,” it symbolized major gods in various pagan cult In India, it is linked to the Hindu “trident-b Shiva, spouse of the skull-bearing goddess

Previously the trident was not at all connected to the Devil. The truth is that, “In many language, the ancients, the sign of trident designate mountains (at the half way from the Gibral the Atlantis City K.M.) tops towering above sea (means an ocean sometimes K.M.).”

The fact that the trident means an ocean links it to an ancient god called Poseidia was the “… potentate of the seas and ocea well as Atlantis. It became Poseidon in Greece, Neptune for the Romans, trishula in etc.” 

The presence of this ancient symbol of Trident of the Oranmiyan obelisk definitely has no connection with all these ancient gods because Egypt where Yoruba ancestors came through, the trident was not a symbol of any of their gods and none of these gods which tridents identified with was worshiped in Egypt.

What exactly is the meaning of Yoruba's Trident?

The blessed Yoruba people who remained the custodian of human history and the religion of unity !Eshu -Yeshua- savior of mankind!

Good you are Lagosian but history can't be rewrite.. the fact are there historical record will always remember Benin as given Lagos Island a small portion of Lagos king..prince ado came to Lagos aboard a Portuguese explorer ship .No evidence of mass migration of Benin into Lagos .. Lagos is own and populated by aworis centuries before Portuguese brought prince ado to lagos in 15 century.. other tribe joined later in the early 20 century or late 19 century. Lagos is own by aworis and ijebus and anagos .you mentioned ijaw totally non accepted if you had mentioned Ilaje i would go with the ilajes claim because they had long history of naval trade route with the aworis and ijebus for centuries ..where are the nupes tapa and ikoyi from old oyo,. egbas that formed the core population of Lagos with the aworis... Benin can not travel to lagos by foot they would need to pass through the ijebus it means war ,No evidence of it ..It took British a year war

Every deity has its own beads do your research Mr Edo.. we are superior to you people, without the yorubas your forefather will have no cloth to cover their nasty ass.. i guess you mean the bones and nut beads stick beads your ancestor were using before the coming of oranmiyan... Even ivory crafting were done by the Owos for Benin royal palace

Obalufon:


coral beads were introduce to the Benin by Portuguese to complement scarcity of ife glass beads ..Coral plant are harvest from the bottom of the sea to make beads which is totally different from glass beads... Yoruba smelt precious stone into glass beads and ornaments , bangles and bowl ..Our ologun and Aje worshipers also harvest pals and coral plant too from the bottom of the sea but not known to you people they introduced cowry shell. also developed the technique of breading of cowry Snell in hinterland for their shell

A mere claim once more were is the evidence benin used yoruba beads

Olu317:
Stop fuming because Yoruba ancestors weren't your ancestors contemporary but Teachers to your people. Below are the well established research work done by internal and external researchers of repute:

1.Yorubas ancestors were not taught by European in beads production

Ethnographic and historical data show that glass production was well established in southwestern Nigeria by about 1200 (Euba 1982; Eluyemi 1986). Glass was a prestigious and almost always strongly colored material that was used in the manufacture of beads and other objects that were presented as gifts. Unlike the fabrication of brass and sculpture, glassmaking was not a well-known phenomenon in sub-Saharan Africa, which underscores the uniqueness of the Ile-Ife beadmaking industry.

2. European of German renown researcher said, IleIfe is a city of bead production in his book

Frobenius (1913, p. 309) referred to the town as the center of beadworking.

3. Evidence showed beads were sold outside Ileife as far back as 1200AD before contact with Europeans

There is now scientific evidence suggesting that bluegreen glass beads made in Ile-Ife were being traded outside the Yoruba area long before the era of European contact (Shaw 1970; Davison, Giauque, and Clark 1971; Robertshaw and others 2003). These beads apparently disappeared about the 18th century because less expensive beads were available from Europe.

4. It is proven that bead were produced in Ile ife after scientific series of experiment to confirm if it is a false or has external influence

Samples for experimental recipes were obtained from the sand deposits. The details of this analysis have been presented elsewhere (Ige 2009). The results show that most of the aboriginal drawn glass beads were manufactured from glass produced by melting granitic sands, some times blended with ritual snail shells. According to informants, snail shells were mixed with sand from Olokun streams and glass recipes were formulated according to cultural uses and societal stratification. The glassmakers made one recipe with abundant snail shells for priests, and another, with moderate levels of calcium, for kings and chiefs. Glass with the lowest quantity of calcium was produced for commoners.


5. They Yoruba ancestors were scientists with knowledge of chemical compounds

Chemical Classification Several methods have been employed in the chemical analysis of the glass beads from Ile-Ife. They include electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEMEDS), and the accelerator-based method of proton- induced X-ray emission (PIXE) (Ige 2009). The trace- element and isotopic compositions of the beads are now being determined in cooperation with Dr. Robert H. Brill, research scientist emeritus at The Corning Museum of Glass. The chemical classification discussed below is based on analyses with the JEOL 8600 SuperProbe electron microprobe at the Department of Geology of the University of Georgia.


Advice. Let me stop here for now so that you can understand that we are foreigners from a faraway land to impose our knowledge on all daring neighbours as yours that the Yoruba ancestors exposed to civilization

About the fact that said the yorubas
civilized benin makes me laugh... I wonder were the civilization came from....

The ooni of ife hut at ife is it where the civilization came from...

The textile material, you speak of came as far as north africa and was trade in the sub Sahara by the hausas and fulani to every other tribe down sahara the sub saharans (Yoruba's and other tribes ) specialized in dyeing and sewing the textile to what they want.....

Which one of this happen to be the popular yoruba dress called adire".... And the popular benin hairdress(okuku)

Now

The textile was also trade to benin just thesame way it was traded to the yorubas... history made it clear oromiyan didnt rule as a King in benin nor even venture to the palace before he left to oyo....so my Yoruba brothers tell me who brought the civilization

Our chiefs were made a sculpture for to show adornment of our(Benin) contribution to ife....and the ooni sculpture was buried in the palace of benin to show benin superiorty over ife

Benin was divide into guild and one this quild happen to takecare of oba of benin wardrope( Regalia's) and they were incharge making the coral beads and the popular hairdress okuku they are known as the “ewebo"

Please tell me how Yoruba's civilized benin again

Coral beads are mined from oceans.

They were introduced to the Binis by the Portuguese in the late 1400s. I am glad you admitted this.

Provide your evidence for bead production in Benin kingdom prior to the 1400s. Impossible!

The so-called Evie and Ekan were not used in Benin until the late 1400s.

Ile-Ife, on the other hand, has been using, producing, and exporting beads to North Africa since as early as the 1100s, and in fact centuries earlier.

Hahaha, here you go again with your laughable claim that Benin ruled over Ife.

Now, you're calling Oba Erediauwa of Benin kingdom a fool for admitting that the kings of Ife were regarded by the Binis as Almighty God in human flesh.

Why do your dead kings in the past always have their heads exhumed and taken to Ife for burial at the Orun Oba Ado site??

I have always challenged you on this question and you've always ignored and run away. It is time for you to stop running away. Answer now!

Back to the point...
No tribe was taught how to make beads ,beads were indigenous to africa just like the european counterpart you will know this if you do your research ...

The Benin beads is are of two type ekan and ivie .
Ekan beads were the original local beads gotten from benin they are greyish precious stones carved into beads by the benin people “picture one shows a dwarf in benin wearing an ekan beads before the arrival of the pourtugues"
The arrival of the Portuguese brought the ivie beads, which were coral stone gotten from the ocean by the Portuguese which was melted and carved into the red coral beads you see the benin wear by the ”iwebo" people in Benin who were incharge
Of bead making and oba regalia the Portuguese traded the coral Stone's for local product the coral beads are not found in other african countries the Portuguese traded with ,probably this african countries didnt use anyform of beads before the arrival of the Portuguese or can you find the beads in pourtugal because it was made and shaped by the benin people themselves
