davidnazee: you are still confused. any king in Yoruba land is an Oba no matter the title adopted. Oba simply means the presiding one. it is as old as the language. the only place where oba is specifically used as a title in Yoruba land is in Lagos. Oba of Lagos, the previous title for the king of Lagos island was Eleko of Eko. ( The owner of Eko) 1 Like |

davidnazee:was the title otunba, oja oba,abobaku also adopted in the 20th century. Can u prove it. How can a word adopted mean something in the language but u that claimed u own the word doesn’t mean shit in ur language. Is there any word relating to oba in Benin language except the omo noba nedo. 5 Likes |

illicit: If Oba means ruler but Yoruba kings never added it to their names till around the 20th century after Benin Kings had popularized the title.. so the title was adopted by the Yoruba kings from the Benin kings.. in Edo language, Omonoba Nedo means the shinning one of Edo, not a prince like in yoruba language.. |

illicit: Yoruba and Edo lanuages just like many languages around the world have names common to both languages but have different meanings.. so your Oba may have a different meaning to Oba in my language.. As a linguistic you should know this.. but I doubt how well learned you are.. 1 Like |

davidnazee:ode can u tell me one king in Yoruba that changed his title that he was using previously to the oba title u claimed they adopt cuz as far as I can see the aalafin is still called alalafin and so many more. Oba Lori ngbogbo is yoruba. Ur word for king is Ogie. 4 Likes |

Moneywomen17: Why is it when you Yorubas are defeated you turn to insults? even if you have the word Oba in your Yoruba language, you never used it as a title for your kings till after Benin kings started using it.. You copied it from Benin stop denying.. Oba is a benin word even if it doesn't mean king, it means shining in Benin.. just like Alaafin or Ooni doesn't mean king in yoruba language but a title adopted by your rulers. 1 Like |

Moneywomen17:. Leave this source Oduduwa is a political canopy Oduduwa never existed You're are yet to cite a benin-ife connection Through documents or archeological findings Benin-igala war has both archaeological and written documents since 16c Then am surprised benin-ife relationships was not recorded at all not even archaeological evidence to support it What of benin-oromiyan connection |

If u check edo well and edo related people like uhrobo u will know that edo boys are just lying are being deceitful here. Edo word for king is ogie. Uhrobo a related group word for king is Ovie. Itsekiri called their king ogiamen king of the water. According to edo before oba dynasty their king was called ogiso king of the sky. Oba has no meaning in their language but Yoruba oba has a meaning. There is several title relating to oba like Otunba. In the old days of oyo those who die with the king are called abobaku. It’s obvious as Bleep who owns the world at least relating to leadership. Cuz it doesn’t even mean anything relating to leadership in edo. 4 Likes |

davidnazee:u are the one who is defeated. And it’s not if we have the word in Yoruba language we definitely have it and it means king. Here we go again with the lies can u tell me one yoruba king that uses the word oba as a title. It’s always been separate and still is. Ur Benin brothers already said there is no meaning for oba in Benin language so stop lying. Ur king title is omo noba nedo not oba. Oba as a single word does not exist in edo. 5 Likes |

gregyboy:see painment. U said ur king is omo noba nedo the shining one. Oba means king. The kings market is called oja oba all over yoruba land. The right hand man of the king is called otunba. Those who are buried with the king in the olden days of oyo are called abobaku. But according to edo “YoRuBa BORoweD ThE WorD iN tHe 20Th CeNtuRY 2 Likes |

illicit: never said the word has the same origin.. my question is why wasn't the Yoruba kings using the Oba title till in the 20th century.. If we should agree you have the word in your language but it wasn;t used as a title till long after the Benin kings were using it.. Can you answer this question.. Benin, Oyo and Ife which one rose to be the greatest and most powerful kingdoms? 2 Likes |
