Jude (aka @Truthshots), thanks for reminding us that Benin had bronzes. Benin bronzes are unable to stand a worthy comparison with the bests from the pre-modern world. Only the Ife bronzes can do that on the (‘black’) African continent. Cheers! ———————— (1) William Bascom on The Ife Sculptures: “How, in a comparatively obscure corner of this vast and backward continent, could an art and a technique have flowered that take their stand beside the best ever evolved by the elaborate civilizations of Europe and Asia?" ~ W. R. Bascom, “The Illustrated London News,” (8 April 1939), p. 592. (2) Frank Willet on The Ife Sculptures: “The heads were unlike any known African art, and being in a style of quasi-mensurational naturalism, had an immediate appeal to those trained in the canons of European taste. These works could be judged without condescension as works of art in their own right; they would stand comparison with anything which Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece and Rome, or Renaissance Europe had to offer". ~ Frank Willett, “Ife and Its Archaeology,” The Journal of African History, Vol. 1, No. 2 (1960), p. 239. (3) Leo Frobenius on The Ife Sculptures: “These meagre relics were eloquent of a symmetry, a vitality, a delicacy of form directly reminiscent of ancient Greece and a proof that, once upon a time, a race, far superior in strain to the negro, had been settled here. Here was an indication of something unquestionably exotic and the existence of an extremely ancient civilization. From the moment of this discovery onward I knew that my task in llifé [Ile-Ife] was turned in a direction I had hardly dared to expect." ~ L. Frobenius, “The Voice of Africa,” 1913, pp. 88-89.

To any Yoruba whom is tired of being lied to by his kinsmen. I can answer your questions truthfully and educate you on the true passed of your ancestors. You can't honour the latter if you don't know their true history. You can't unbound yourself from your slave mentality and bloodline unless you learn the true history of your people and stop hiding behind crooked story tellers whom are selling you a pipe dream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2hU-ibkPfg |

1) who was the first ooni of ife to copy the word Oba into his title: adesoji aderemi. He also created a beaded crown as a way to copy the benin crown. (the fake crown in the picture below) 2) there is no such thing as Edo, igbo or yoruba etymology. Anybody using such as argument is either intellectually bankrupt either morally bankrupt, anyways his argument is trash. 3) the yoruba have a habbit of copying other people's cultures: a) they first copied the word "sir" which is a mark of british nobility: ooni of ife, sir adesoji. b) after some time they changed that borrowed word for an other borrowed word "Oba" the title of the King of benin: it then became "ooni of ife, oba adesoji" c) adesoji also imitated the benin crown d) the current crown worn by the ooni of ife is an imitation of a statue which was found in ife e) the current dress of the ooni of ife is an imitation of the royal uniform of the king of the ashanti. 4) Benin has a true history, ife has fairytales. 5) benin has architecture, ife has fairytales of rambo/oduduwa dropping from the sky in egypt strait into ife with a golden parachute/chain. 6) Benin actually fought a war against britain, ife once again has fairytales of great warriors 7) Benin city got burnt into ashes, ife didn't yet no architecture, nothing to show in ife. 8 ) at this point it feels like a big insult to even dare pronounce benin and ife in the same sentence in anybody's dream. indeed, ife remains a village, a make-belief rubbish elevated by the invaders becuase the ooni of ife was a backstabbing traitor to the cause the black race. The ooni of ife served the british instead of fighting the british, coward if you ask me. 1 Like
