The video below shows, some African-Americans of Edo ancestry tracing their roots back home to the Edo kingdom of Benin from where their Edo ancestors were originally captured and sold off into slavery.

Yes, African Americans. Yes, the same people whose ancestors found themselves in the Americas via the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Yes, they trace themselves back home to Benin kingdom.

The highlighted screenshot below (showing the testimony obtained from the Edos themselves by the late Professor R. E. Bradbury during his ethnographic survey of Benin kingdom) is very telling on how their Edo ancestors found their way to the Americas.

The attached screenshot below is from time-stamp 8:20 of the video.

In other words, this is not Benin Republic as some have shamefully and falsely suggested. Hahaha.

Abovebonny:


The only Empire Nigeria ever had was the Sokoto Caliphate...

So no Oyo was not an empire by any means.

Look at the map and tell me Sokoto was not an empire? And that Oyo and Benin were not Kingdoms...

Well the map is fake. Here is an actual true precolonial map:

In order words, Benin was conquered and owned by Guinea because early maps shows the word Guinea for the West African Forest and Coast from Senegal to Cameroon ?? See map below.

Are you willing to be consistent with your retarded and rusty reasoning??

1)I called your conspiracy theory crazy, I wasn't insulting you, that was my appreciation of your conspiracy theory.
2) I have already proven my claims, i don't need to join you into a new branch of questionnings. I made claims, and I provided proof, it ends there, you don't get to question me until kingdom come.
3) just to indulge you:

a) deported slaves were dumped in lagos, those slaves now call themselves yoruba


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N20D43W0uyE&t=135s

b) since the british took over lagos from Benin, a lot of migrant workers and slaves migrated into lagos, most of them identify with yoruba today

c) since the creation of nigeria there has been a lot of internal migration into lagos because lagos was the capital of nigeria, many of the migrants identify with yoruba today.

d) lagos had a large population of dahomians migrants whom all identify with yoruba today.

...

then that means the slaves were smart and wise to have ceased leadership from the Edo aboriginal and settle down as heir,while you are here trying to reclaim the land,the truth there is that Yorubas are the ruler of Lagos now,as in now,and there is nothing you Edo folks can do about it,unless you want to get yourself injured
