future king is born!

oba gha atokpe ise!

Damson22:
Pls guys, is benin part of Yoruba land, because of the title "oba"

Damson22:


But I heard that it was Yoruba ( oranmiyan) king that rule them.

PureFace1:



Which Benin Colony are you talking about when Benin itself was a Yoruba Colony?

elefind:


oba is an Edo word meaning Bright. i.e omo no ba, also mean the bright son.
that's why oba only wear two colors of clothes which white or red. these two colors represent light. the obas of Benin from the previous dynasty was called Ogiso meaning the one from the sky or the prince from the sky. sky also represent light which means Oba in translation.

elefind:


izoduwa is the name and it was miss pronounced by Yorubas as oduduwa.

Sammy07:


It's not our fault that God bless us

jrusky:


Bro all these blabla don't really worth it. Congratlate the king or keep quiet if you are alien to historical fact. I can't understand from which pit of hell your nonsense Izoduwa emanated from.

Edo are my inlaw but I must tell you today Mr the earlier you all kick sentiment out of your brain and accept history that Benin is part of Yoruba kingdom the better for you all take it or burst it. Google is your friend.

Moreso its better you realise you people can not sit on the fence you are not classified as Igbo nor Niger Delta and your forefather lineage which is Yoruba root you denounced it with reason best known to some of you, so Mr where do you belong?

As I said congratulate the king or go next topic and stop being exceptionally ignorant.

Sammy07:


If it means Bright.
I have two questions.


1. What does Obaseki means


2. Give me 5 Edo words that's has Oba in between, and tell me their meanings

dammywizzy:
I thought they said the Oba doesn't smile, so why is he smiling in this picture?

Youngjohnosas:
you are just talking nonsense, your emotions is taking the better part of U, Everything the white man did was just a punishment today Benin Empire for the resistance it put all against them and the fear that if the man was allowed too stand again it would try tomorrow fight back.

they knew the Yorubas where Empty chest beaters and posed no threats to them, how can the great Benin Empire be an off shoot of the chest beating Yoruba. does it sound logical to you?

can a goat ever give birth to a lion?

cloud6999:
Must surely be a Bastard..


King has low sperm count

Damson22:
Pls guys, is benin part of Yoruba land, because of the title "oba"

darediamond:

Yes. Oranmiyan named the land "Ile Ibinu" back then.
Infiltration of non-Yorubas over the centuries after Oranmiya era caused the alteration of the Land name Correct Pronounciation.

But the Ile Ibinu People of today would never agree as they wanna be distinct but even the Colonial Masters and Nigeria Constitution sees them as part of SOUTH WEST.

Youngjohnosas:
that picture showed nothing, it's tradition in Benin for the omon Ada to stand beside the Oba so it was the best sitting arrangement to accommodate our tradition .

secondly because the British knew the Yorubas and Hausas where pupets in their hands they made laws today favor them whilst the Benin people where seen as aggressors and militants because they never backed out even at the point of death.

the British only reawarded the cowardice of the Yoruba nation .

jrusky:


Alright no problem if that is your conclusion and I wish you good luck.

You will one day explain which part of Nigerian entity you belong to ok. Its so unfortunate that you are here calling Yoruba chest beater its so strange all I know is its my own people that chest beat but you turning the clock to Yoruba means you must be one of those Edos suffering from demoted IQ.

Till the world will end and come again Benin or Edo can never stand where Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa/Fulani are. Pls to hook yourself in the crevies of complexity will doom you better come out and get life.

Pls do you think Yoruba even need you. Bro you need help I swear. Pesin wey dem no want for meeting wey dey raise song na who go follow am sing d song abeg? You beta go sit your a s s somewhere.

Hmmm,Oba means "Bright" in your language,that's fine. In Yoruba language, it means King that is "Oba to ba lori ohun gbogbo,alase ekeji orisha" ! The unquestionable king,the representative of gods who reigns for ever ! Kings don't die in Yoruba land because they are gods on earth.

Oranmiyan,son of the third Alaafin of Oyo,Sango actually established obaship system in benin. He established Benin kingdom as a matter of fact and that was why it was forbidden for the Oyo warriors to wage war east of Oyo empire where Benin was situated. A prince from Oyo,Oranmiyan established Benin kingdom. It may interest you to know that Oyo empire had it boundaries in present day Niger state and extended far beyond the shore of Nigeria to Benin republic and Togo. Check the map of old Oyo empire for confirmation. That's why it is amusing when you guys claim that you established Lagos as a "war camp" ! The question is which war did you fight against the Yoruba ? You certainly must have conquered all the Yoruba lands from ondo state to Ogun state and down to Lagos for you to establish any "war camp" in Lagos. There is no account of any such war and your claim doesn't make any sense.

There is a document in the British archive which shows that the official language spoken at the palace of Oba of Benin as recent as early 1930s was actually Yoruba language ! If I can still lay my hands on that document,I will post it here. Yoruba actually influenced your culture and it is not other way round as some people desperately want us to believe. Oba is a Yoruba word hence " Oba a to, a pe o, ase ! This means may the king live and reign for long. This is what you corruptly translated in your language to "Oba gha to kpere" or something.

Take a look at the sitting arrangement in the attached picture to have an idea of my points.

You guys can't rewrite history !

Who cares whatever you choose to believe ! Now take a look at this - your traditionalists in Benin worship all these deities "Sango", " Ogun", "IFA", " Obatala", "Oshun", "Oya" etc , right ? Where do you this they all came from ? They were (still are) powerful men and women of Yoruba ancestry who turned deities. I earlier informed you that "Sango" was the 3rd Alaafin of Oyo. "Ogun" was from 'Ile Aro' in Yoruba land,etc.

As for the picture,it says a lot ! The British colonised Nigeria; they know our history based on fact. They know that your Oba is actually a prince from Yoruba land hence,it would be disrespectful for him to share the front row line with the Ooni of Ife as seen in that picture.

Come to think of it, do you think Yoruba people actually care whatever you choose to call yourself ? You are inconsequential to us; people whose traditions take the back seat !

Igbosmoker:
I really think they are jealous because we didn't sell ourselves to the white men neither did we asslick them, from North America to south America, yorubas slaves descendants are there, a testimony to their rubbish and tainted history.
