TAO11: After your lies, here is the actual translation in full: "Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the Yebous have seazed that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief." And here is the book. I am the person who first posted this book into nairaland, I did so in june. Notice how this scam artist conveniently hid the book, made no mention of me and made no mention of the topic in which I posted the book and captions and a translation. Notice also tao's lie : "The only area the Binis were restricted to is the part of Lagos island allocated to them. It is from here they controlled themselves and report back to their King." In reality the book says very clearly that Benin belongs to Lagos as you can see by the translation. And the book also states that the governor of lagos gets appointed by the Oba of Benin.

Oni of ife presented as a spiritual leader, not a king: https://www.facebook.com/LateSirAdesojiMartinsTadeniawoAderemiI/videos/989866004541431You’ve just proven yourself again to be nothing but a bald-headed, janus-faced, fatuous liar! No where does the above 1948 video documentary say that the Ooni of Ife is not a king but a priest. Neither was he introduced as priest. Rather, the video states at timestamp 0:14 and I quote here below: “The Ooni of Ife, spiritual leader of over three million Nigerian tribesmen, was one of the important arrivals”. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=989866004541431 And that is accurate because all Yoruba kings (that is, including the Benin monarch) are considered in, Yoruba religious belief, to be demi-deities — ikeji-õṣà. Since the Ooni of Ife is the leader of all the monarchs of Yorubaland, this fact thus rightfully makes him the spiritual leader of all Yorubas (and Binis). Notice that this 1948 meeting which held in Lancaster house and entitled “The African Conference in London” had the Ooni of Ife representing Nigeria in his capacity as leader of the south-west ‘tribes’ — which included the Binis among others. This leader of the then south-west ‘tribes’ was not deemed to be the Alaafin Oyo, nor was it deemed to be the Omonoba n’Edo, but rather the Ooni Ife. Note that he wasn’t yet honored as a British knight at the time. Neither was he yet a Governor at the time. He simply represented Nigeria in his capacity as a tribe leader — a tribe which included the Binis. In addition to the above 1948 documentary, the attached pages below are from a 1903 publication entitled “Native Crowns”. These attached pages from the paper shows the published summary of a proceeding in which the Ooni of Ife was clearly and rightfully identified as the leading monarch for all of Yorubaland. www.nairaland.com/attachments/12915204_3bb91d9be2ea45c5afd3f41e88728f3e_jpeg_jpeg645a15f18177fc5fe10c58c7cc98cb9c www.nairaland.com/attachments/12915205_d21b9942ec6b49db8268dddb52125c5d_jpeg_jpeg5b7a9464bca8be76b7a6cbdd30d76898 www.nairaland.com/attachments/12915206_ea1bb7bbeb514c029bf799998b655ca3_jpeg_jpeg94b9f98f3c978fcbb8823afc65a47cbc ~ The Editor, “Native Crowns,” Journal of the Royal African Society, April 1903, Vol. 2, No. 7, Oxford University Press.

nocomment3: This image you attached here traces to only one source as diverse and as versatile as the World-Wide-Web is. The image traces only to a post from an unverified Facebook page of a certain apparent amateur who, nonetheless, self-certified theirs as a history page. This singular originator of this image (and Facebook post) — from where you have lifted this image — was severely roasted in the comment section of their own Facebook post for misinforming the public. The Facebook poster (despite the multiple and consistent heavy criticisms in the comment section) dared not name even one source to prove that the individual in the picture was indeed an Ooni. Neither could they substantiate the authenticity of the uncorroborated and sourceless footnote which they’ve edited into the anonymous picture. It was a clear case of propaganda gone wrong. There is simply no evidence anywhere in all of history pages to back up their false and mischievous association of the Ooni of Ife with IfA priesthood. Neither could the poster dare say a word in defense of their apparent mischievous editing — as there is no other source for such (apparent) falsehood. In fact to be emphatic, there is not a single past Ooni of Ife (from Yorubaland’s photography era) who has ever adorned the circular-style beaded-necklace as shown in your image. This singular fact alone instantly debunks your image (and its accompanying footnote) as a work of dubious and fraudulent propaganda. Lol! As the 1903 attachments in my foregoing comment shows, the Ooni of Ife remains and was always the head of all Yoruba kings. Stop lying to yourself and yet believe it. That’s the definition of madness. May God heal your miserable soul. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

After your lies, here is the actual translation in full:Your lies and more lies as usual. If you’re asking for what the text actually says without any twist and turns like you have in your fraudulent translation, then here is what the text says below: “Captain Horseley referred to it as Eco [Èkó] and that is how it was designated by the Yébous [Ijebus]; but it is not their domain, it is the Bénin’s [Benin’s] — who refer to it by the name Koráme [which is] recognizably the Curamo of the older Portuguese’s accounts, just as Ekó represents the Dutch hydrographers’s Ichoo. Koráme and its mainland were linked in the past by a sand-spit between the great lagoon and the sea. However, the Yébous have, for a long time, seized that sand-spit whose eastern end has also been infiltrated by Ouyó [Ijaw] pirates. Koráme thus remained isolated to the extreme of the great lagoon, and continued to be dependent on Bénin for its choice of governor or political leader.” Having said that, the false narrative which you’ve sought tirelessly to weave around this passage has been debunked (at the link below) by adducing an eyewitness text which is 242 years earlier than the above passage. My analysis of that earlier text gives clarification and light to what is actually meant in the above passage. See the link below for where your fraudulent narrative was devastatingly DEBUNKED: https://www.nairaland.com/6365528/lagos-belongs-benin-obanikoros-grandson/30#98218235 4 Likes 4 Shares |

TAO11: Ooni of ife addressed as a chief priest One of the reasons Alafin was made the chairman of traditional council in former western region instead of ooni of ife The British also went ahead in placing the ooni of ife as least important chief amongst various traditional rulers
