AreaFada2: Who do we believe among these Bini versions: Ogiso Igodo from Egypt or Ogiso Igodo from Ife or Ogiso Igodo from the sky to Benin City round about. Even you yourself are embarrased to add your own version. Mind you, while all these conflicting versions about your Ogiso are your own indigenous accounts, the accounts of Israel, Egypt, Mecca are not found originally in Yoruba traditions. They are either classical Hausa views or modern blog writings. Nothing indigenous or scholarly. Same can't be said of your Ogiso. 3 Likes

gregyboy:Yes, action is what they called anger. No time to bark, brag, raise dust and then be doing suwegbe or pick race when action time comes. I remember one day one Asaba guy (a fellow Bendelite as we were then) saw okpor JuJu belonging to a Yoruba boy inside his trainers in the morning. It was after a house party and everyone slept off later. When the Asaba guy voiced his displeasure over how the okpor got into his shoe. The Yoruba boys there surrounded the Asaba guy to hush him up and intimidate him. Oh boy, we Bendel guys got them scampering for safety. 4 of us against 10 or eleven of them. Chai, I laugh tire that day. I used to consider those guys "brothers" until I saw their tribalism at work. Carrying tribalism all the way to diaspora. Carrying JuJu tied with red cloth, threads and pins to a house party. Smh. They were later saying these Anini people nor dey joke o. 2 Likes 1 Share |

TAO11:Your problem is you copy and paste anything you see. Like I mentioned elsewhere before, I grew up in a house with a rich library. Books and journal articles were written in my presence. For you anything written is impressive. Not me who saw history being written and can discern. You will probably learn that with time. Experience is the best teacher. Well, Muslim scholars wrote your history and gave you Yoruba/Yoruba name. My part of SW is Ado-Akure. Not Islamic baptismal name. To tell them Alakubar to correct your history. 2 Likes 1 Share |

illicit:Better do hydrogen dating. Then do Uranium dating. Carbon dating will not be enough. A linguist educated where? Ife, Ibadan, Lagos or where? I read up to 5 books to get a balance view of Napoleon Bonaparte. All in original languages. It took the American and Swiss authors to give the most balanced narrative. The British and French authors were either writing about a hero or a villain. Lol. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AreaFada2: I'm not sure what kind of books and articles they wrote in the house you grew up. But I'm sure it must be some fvcked up books going by how you lie through your teeth everywhere on Nairaland. Binis be amazing me. They lie through their tooth, but get rattled and slip into tantrum when they get busted. What were you all thinking? To lie freely and not get exposed?? C'mon spare me those nonsense! Moreover, you fail the second time to mention which version of your ancestor you subscribe to. Is it Ogiso Igodo from Ife, or Ogiso Igodo from Egypt, or Ogiso Igodo from the sky without parachute?? Which one?? You can freely add other views if you think I didn't mention them all. 5 Likes |

AreaFada2: A linguist is a linguist. institution doesn't matter here, we read the same books and the methods are the same. FYI from UNILORIN. Language is the best source of history FYI. You are talking about Napoleon and original languages, can you tell me the first language spoken on Earth? I may tell you about Nimrod and how languages began and spread . Take it or leave it, Benin kingdom is later than Ife or Oyo kingdom, the evidences are plethora. 5 Likes |

you can ask yourself why the oba of Benin is referred to as omonoba. Omo oba in yoruba means a prince 1 Like |

illicit: Sicko Omo n'oba nedo ukwakpolopolo title Eware11 = name Calling just oba as the title is incorrect oba is just an abbreviations of the full name The question should be why did the yorubas adopt the word oba to represent kingship in yoruba land was the power of power so strong among yoruba territories just like we nigerians adopted king as an English title for our king..... You guys simply adopted the title oba into your lexicon in the early 30s

gregyboy: oh boy you don't get it. what language do u speak. Oba in Yoruba translates to "he who presides" omo oba means the Scion of he who presides. omonoba nedo.... means the prince in edo.... what does oba mean in your language. answer that. am a linguist you know. Obadiah or whatever you are quoting from Edom has nothing to do with this. No linguistic correlation. How do you even know the right pronunciation for Obadiah.... 4 Likes 1 Share |

gregyboy:shut up and stop lying oba is yoruba word. The title otunba a very prominent title in all yoruba land means king right hand man. So tell me how yoruba copy Benin when it’s clear as day it’s the other way around. Every market in Yoruba land there is oja oba. Even the Europeans wrote about it. The truth is Benin adopted the word when oranmiyab from came to rule ur people. Cuz the word oba has no meaning regarding leadership in Benin language while it does in Yoruba. 7 Likes |

gregyboy: thank u. you are bringing out the linguist in me gradually. Oba is the only word in Yoruba that means he who presides. Ooni is a title for a king, an Oba, it doesn't mean he who presides, it is a title for one who presides. same as Kabiyesi which means, the unquestionable one. Deji is another one, which is short for Owafadeji, the one whom Owa gave a crown etc. Owa means the seeker or he who came. I particularly I am Omo Owa by pedigree and am not even a prince. Owa is the title for the Oba in Ilesha. 4 Likes |

gregyboy: you are mixing history up. Ilorin never had an Oba. it's simply an Oyo military Outpost Headed by the generalissimo Aare Afonja. Alaafin was the supreme king. the Fulanis took over the kingdom after Aares mutiny. Emir is a funani titile. Ilorin never had obas of its own. 1 Like |
