AreaFada2:


Maybe grandchild. Oba Akenzua's daughter married a Yoruba man.

Remember that Obas and Benin chiefs/nobility were routinely given brides by royal and noble families of other tribes.
Esan particularly produced many queens in Benin. Women from Eastern Yorubaland were many. So necessarily some kids from those upper class inter-tribal marriages bore and still bear Yoruba names.

Davido's late mother from Benin was called Imade. He named his daughter after his mum. We have Imade College in Owo too.

Several Benin names have being Yorubanised such as Okubor. Over time people start calling it Tokunbor, a Yoruba name they are familiar with.

[s]Dim Ojukwu once said that growing up in Lagos and being fluent in Yoruba, Yoruba people would try correcting his name as being Ojikutu. Because they thought he was Yoruba![/s]

Benin was an empire and we were used to different names and peoples. Benin City was the Lagos of those days. People went to sell their skills and try their luck.

Historically, the centers/capitals of empires were so: Athens, Rome, Memphis/Egypt, Baghdad, Constantinople, Babylon, etc.

You have one problem and that's what I don't like about you. You must find a way to slip others into this Bini/Yoruba history.

So your problem is that I mentioned an Igbo person. That the story is true as told by Ikemba himself and relevant in this context doesn't enter your coconut head.

Na wa for you o.

You that carry matter of other tribes on your head like gala and lacasera don't want anybody to mention Igbo. You must be Nairaland resident comedian. Mr Ibu of Nairaland.

K

Yoruba should ignore the Edo like they never exist. Yoruba are miles ahead, it could be hurting though. Try and understand

Onijagidijagan:
Nairaland forum u r using was Bini man that programmed it now

More than 20% of Edo population from Akoko edos to Bini and Esan bears Yoruba names. These Yoruba names must be Igodomigodo names like u believe..omutin

Go to anywhere or parts of Yoruba land from Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun and republic of Benin Yorubas to spill that rubbish from your maggot infested mouths that "Oba came from Benin" you will only ended up being beaten like a drum and no single Yoruba, Igala, Itsekiris will even subscribe to that.

Why don't u ask these Edo people that bears Yoruba names about their origins.. Most of them will tell you their origin is Edo, just like most Yoruba Obas also trace their origin to Edo.

Onijagidijagan:
Mention a single Yoruba land that is being controlled by the Edos?from your write ups?

You mean presently of historically? is Nigeria still ruled by Britain?

davidnazee:

Their origin was traced to Yorubas in Edos go and learn history.

Onijagidijagan:

Non of our land is controlled by any Edo...since your 3 million are warriors you can come and cross boundary now...then you will no chestbeating nor b for mouth

Bini and Esan are not threat to us at all

But you agree that Great Benin kingdom of Edo people once conquered and ruled the Yorubas for over 700years..

Onijagidijagan:

abeg stop lying.. Akoko Edo is not Yoruba.

davidnazee:

Great Yoruba community u mean? Are the ones that moved out.
Beside they never conquered or fought a single war.
Mention the town

davidnazee:


abeg stop lying.. Akoko Edo is not Yoruba.

Then what is "Akoko" doing in the name?

Uselu used to be a Yoruba settlement in Benin

Onijagidijagan:

Then what is "Akoko" doing in the name?

what does Akoko mean in Yoruba?
In Edo it means to gather or group together.. And historically most of the Akoko towns were founded by Edo warriors mostly during the years of Benin invasions of Eastern Yoruba. these present Akoko towns were mostly settlements where the yoruba captives were resettled by the Edo warriors after their towns and villages were destroyed by the Edo warriors..

Onijagidijagan:
Uselu used to be a Yoruba settlement in Benin

only Uselu in the whole of Edo areas.. many towns in Yoruba lands used to be Edo settlements..

The picture below is Oged ngbe Agbogungboro the Ijesha Warlord.

Mrbillionaire:


The same Benin Ogedenbe (Ijesha Warlord) wanted to attack before he was begged by Oba during Yoruba civil war.

The same Ogedenbe was beheaded by Ibadan warriors and headless body picked up the head and fixed it back; he was later captured

For only Ijesha to threaten Benin, what happens if United Yoruba army does same?

Are listening to your foolishness, my god, you beg a warrior to leave your land, and he obeys, then that warriors was originally a coward or you're telling a false history

Ogendegbe was begged to leave edo state and he just agree,

Since we are posting our own side of the story

This is the resting place of all the Obas of Benin right there Ile Ife. Facts don't lie, you can visit there. it's called Orun Oba Ado and it's still there till today. You can say it's fake o.

The tradition of burying the heads of dead Benin Obas in Ile Ife was stopped just to erase history.

Mrbillionaire:


You people shook hands with Ogedengbe and Ogboriefon and they went back from attacking Benin and nothing changed hands. Silver and other valuables were given to the warlords from Ijesha and Ibadan respectively.

Ogedengbe that conquered Akoko and other cities and heading to Benin before he was bribed with valuables.

An Army is advancing towards you and all you do is meet the commandant and, shake hands with him; and he orders his soldiers to go back home.

Mehn, you people are proud

Me:Mrbillionaire.. why is ur story true

Lol, it seems you skipped the previous pages if not you wont be using this as a point, wherein that Etinosa1234 clearly on the first page made it know yorubas was a political movitavated move to bind all yoruba into one ancestory ife


Ife myth birthed by Samuel johson the first yoruba historian who happened to be an oyo man
Who was taken as slave to England

To further point your claim arun oba ado was wrong

Ado wasnt the name called benin in 1100 which the falsified myth between benin-ife had to have happened the name ado came much much later around late 15 century, so why is the name ado, been addressed by ife, when it came much much later


Funny guy stop spreading the benin political staged myth, visit my profile for more details before you embarrassed yourself

@Gregyboy
Forget about Ado Benin whatever. Were the heads of deceased Oba of Benin used to be cut off and taken to Ile Ife for burial?

Second, The two empires then were Oyo and Benin empires; so the Oyo used to address the Benin as Ado e.g Ado Ekiti because the Benin empire was once dominant in Ekitiland.

Though 'Yoruba' is just a coinage from the Hausa used to address people under the old Oyo Empire; they all still came from Ile Ife with the exception of Ijebus; Ijebus are good friends to Oduduwa descendants and have become part of them; that's why you'd hear Ijebu -Ijesa, Ijebu-Owu, Ijebu-Remo etc.
