Christistruth00: I have seen two links that disprove this fact Besides.. there was no time in history of Benin and Oyo that Benin was under Oyo... [b]G T Strides and ifeka[b] said that there was a failed attempt to attack Benin I have a journal that also states that Alaafin majotu needed the help of the Benin to suppress rebellion in his empire Still take a look at this for the moment When I get the real pages I'll tell u 2 Likes 1 Share

Christistruth00: this ur source is funny Sha... As at 1890 Alfred Maloney wrote this page but before then..The Dahomey, nupe, and other tribes had already broken out of the Empire... So how did Maloney know that the Empire still stood and they were ruling over Benin There is a reason why people don't talk abt this page because it was all lies This is hilarious 1 Like |

IspitonCowards: It is not possible...Igbo people used Biafra civil war to indoctrinate all the minority tribes in the eastern region...delta used to be a core Ijaw , Urobo and Itshekiri but now they have some many tribe in Delta state that are Yeebos..ny force and not by cultural heritage... These was part of the political struggle of late Papa Awo during his time...he fought against all these Igbo domineering forces among the minority groups... |

Christistruth00: Duarte Pacheco Pereira was there in the 15th century...He met an Empire there Graham Connah did archaeology that dated the Benin walls to 13th century... A Dutch traveller Nyandael came to Benin in the 18th century...He never noted that Benin paid dues to any body When Olfert Dapper came, Benin was already am Empire... what he wrote, he saw .. I can give u many Europeans who came to Benin during That period and none ever made mention of Benin paying tributes Is it Alfonso DAveiro, abi Josua Ulsheimer Make ur research... I can't be educating u for free on nairaland.. Since u cant prove how Benin paid tributes to the Oyo Since oranmiyan(even Yoruba history on wiki dont say that) I think it's best u stop saying it 1 Like |

Christistruth00: Ohhh...U want to turn it on me now First of all , u made the claim that Benin paid tributes since the time of Oranmiyan...prove it. The article u posted was dated 1890 written by Maloney.. Someone who came when the Empire had been destroyed already...what makes his info correct ...The Lander u are quoting. Clapperton also told him that Alaafin Majotu sought the help of Benin to quench rebellions in Ilorin https://archive.org/details/journalofseconde00inclap Lastly..As at the 17th century, there were more Europeans in Africa than as at 13th century..So u ought to have more than one proof to back up ur claims...(I had more than one proof to say that Lagos was a vassal of Benin)...So drop an eyewitness report and stop hanging on to hearsay like a child his toy So if u cant drop eyewitness reports of the 17th century , don't bother quoting because I won't reply I'm outta here 3 Likes 1 Share |

Christistruth00:Am other laughable attempt at rewriting history. 1) no links to the book, therefore no way to verify that the quote comes from the book 2) the author of the book is not a time traveler, so he can't have witnessed what he describes because what he describes if true would span more than 1000 years. And clearly the date given is fake since the area wasn't a British protectorate in 1854. 3) obviously what you quote is merely a fairytale indeed there is no actual eyewitness written document to back it. 1 Like |

Osagyefo98: The person whom is arguing blindly is you and you are the ignorant one as well. You are totally projecting here. You are describing yourself while putting an other persons name on it. I guess your aim (which is totally stupid and will certainly never work because people are not dumb like you think) is to make Ikwere say they are not Benin descendants because they are not yoruba. Your attempt is laughable, the Ikwere know that Benin is not Yoruba ! But keep talking ! I guess one day you will also go and tell the haussas their "true origins", perhaps they are Egyptians or extraterrestrial, we will let you (the guy who knows people better than they know themselves) to decide. 3 Likes |

Wtf77: Abi ooo... The Empire had already been crushed and defeated by Fulani and Dahomey forty years b4 Maloney... I Wonder where Maloney saw what he wrote. Besides. Maloney was not an historian General history of Oyo Empire doesn't say that Oyo ruled over Benin Esp as Benin was also an Empire as at the height of Oyo Empire... Even the whites who were present as at the height of Oyo Powers never said anything as such Does an Empire pay tributes to another Empire? if he's very sure of his claims...let him bring eyewitness reports of the 17th century He has not yet been able to prove Benin paid tributes during the time of Alaafin Oranmiyan...

Christistruth00: 1)No 17th century paper supports your claim. 2)Also nowhere in your paper does it say that the Oba of Benin paid any tribut to the alafin of oyo 3) a people don't rule over an other people, a king rules people, you just don't understand the expression used in the paper, neither do I by the way: "ruling to the sea", the position of the sea: "over Benin and Ewe". Anyway, whatever the writer means, he didn't witness it ( he describes a period which precedes his by 300 years), so the paper is irrelevant. It is just the same as me writing about what took place 300 years ago. It holds no water. 4) oranmiyan is still a made up character, he never existed. 5) in the 17th century Europeans were already trading with Benin empire, many papers were written by eye-witness and many texts were written by eye-witness, funny that none of them mention the Oba of Benin paying tribute to anybody especially not a weak Kingdom like oyo. 2 Likes |
