I swear that guy is lost. How can a word have same origin and mean different shit. He said oba means shining so i ask him what does obaseki means he couldn’t reply cuz he knows he will look foolish.
This is what obaseki means according to google search. 3 different meanings but nothing that means shining.

TAO11:

I have an idea:
"Obaseki" means "Shinning-seki"

none were using it before the 20th century.. before the 20th century, Oba Sijuade will be called Ooni Sijuade and not Oba Sijuade so also Oba Adeyemi would have been called Alaafin Adeyemi and not Oba.. none was using the Oba title along with their names till around the begining of the 20th century.
That style was copied from Benin..

That is what I'm saying..
He was called Alafin Sango and not Oba Sango..
you guys should just admit.. the styling of Oba as a title was adopted from Benin.. The word Oba may be as old as your language just likewise as in Edo.. but as a title it is new to you.

Moneywomen17:
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

gayboy aka gregyboy, the one and only female-son of shine-shine-seki of Benin Kingdom.

Why are you not meeting this challenge??

Don't you want to chop at least $700??

See challenge again for a reminder:

TAO11:


Volume for the bold.


The truth is that they actually know all these things that Oba is Yoruba, that the Edos dont have the word Oba, etc.

Guess what!? They are just timid, insecure, and gripped hard by inferiority complex.

lawani:
we don't have another word for king except oba but different obas have different styles but they are all oba.

TAO11:


gayboy the one and only-female son of Benin Kingdom

The challenge is still open tho!

gregyboy:




All this does not mean anything if there was never a connection between both party


They are so many documents of tribes benin people encountered in European document

Even dated the time benin newly found eko

But oromiyam, ife, and co was not mentioned even wen benin had to constantly travel to summit the oba head to ife no record was documented down


What of the relationship between benin ans oyo none was recorded too even when oromiyam father migrated to build oyo


If you aint seeing the conspiracy by your people
Thrn only god can judge yoy here

Moneywomen17:
fact. How can anybody say the word oba is not Yoruba and borrowed is very ridiculous. How can a word be borrowed when it has a meaning in the language and plenty of others in the Yoruba language relate to it. On the other hand how can someone claim a word if it doesn’t mean shit in ur language.

luwiizy:
so who win...?

davidnazee:


They are Obas (rulers) no doubt but were not using the word Oba as a title.. only the Benin kings were called Oba as a title.. The yorubas trying to equate themselves with the Powerful kings of Benin adopted the Oba title..

The words ade, uwa, egbe, all have meanings in both Edo and Yoruba languages.. If tomorrow Edo uses any of these words as a powerful title, I bet the yorubas will immediately adopt the title too and start claiming its a Yoruba word only and Edo borrowed it.. we know what you guys are capable of..

lawani:
they are not obas but they have oja oba and otunba? They have their orikis but oba is the only word for king. Only Lagos is doing what you are accusing everyone of. All Yoruba obas are addressed with their orikis or styles

Moneywomen17:
ade in Yoruba is crown what does it mean in edo. Egbe in Yoruba is like society or community I don’t know what u mean by uwa but if it’s iwa it’s character. With that said oba means king in Yoruba but in ur language it has no meaning so how does what u wrote make sense.
