Nah ooni of ife pay homage to the oba of benin

The ooni of ife stool was created by awolowo it is not ancient

The oba of benin never attends the ooni of ife coronation but the ooni of ife must always attend oba of benin coronation ceremony or he will remain illegitimate and unflavored by the gods

Ofunaofu:



You just have to know that EDO STATE is just a mere political state creation

That they are found today in present day Edo State should not erase the fact they might have a cultural and historical connection to the Igbos

koondog:
When Nnamdi Kanu says we are taking some Edo people with us to Biafra, these are some of the people. These are pure Igbo blood.

udele1:
So because of yam, they are now part of Biafra?

gregyboy:


The igue festival entails so many benin cultural activites that was distinct in ancient time and now being merged together as one in current traditions as igue festival

Emo rho is the ancient celebration of yam festival see how it is similar with the nane you called

Gambit23:


IGBOs had AKWAETTE clothing back in d days.

Even many of our masquerade wears clothes

SlayerForever:


That dressing is undeniably Igbo. However they may not be Igbo.

Gambit23:


There are indigenous IGBOs in that geographical location called Edo state.

U cant change it.

karkel:
This is why the eroded history in our schools so people like you will not know their root

Newton85:
Please, which one is Isidahomey kingdom again? So, in your bid to debunk the spurious claim of some Igbos here that the Ogbona people are Igbo, you had to cook up your own batshit-crazy ahistorical codswallop out of your own delusional ass? I only know of the Dahomey Kingdom of the Fon people in the Republic of Benin. Please, which one is Isidahomey Kingdom?

Gambit23:


Ur friend could still be a muslim from Edo state

BKayy:

The only people with indigenous clothing in Nigeria is Igbo. Google "Akwaete"
Yorubas were clothed by the Fulani

Maliqcious:
Calm down you Igbo have no Indigenous attire. Benin is the only age long and highly recognized attire known to the Portuguese while 70-85% are almost stark naked

Fejoku:

The red cap is the same as ours but that cloth is a general cloth among majority of central southern Nigeria. Those people are not Igbo.
Just go to google earth with that name and see where they are located. We don't share any border with them and their location in northern Edo is replete with many different languages. I've been listening to their highlife music and I must say that they make good music. Very similar to ours. If they are in anyway related to us I would have indicated it here.

Fejoku:

Understood. The igue festival =/= New Yam festival.
Emo rho is your new yam festival. That you people collapsed it into celebrating Igue shows that it wasn't a big festival to your people compared to how it is among us.

Olutishe490:
What sort of weed do you smoke?....How father pay hommage to the son?... Oranmiyan founded Benin monarchy, it was ogiso the rulling dynasty when Oranmiyan got there and change it to Obaship!!!!....You and your stupid historian are doing a bad job, Ife has been in existence way before Benin kingdom or Igodomigodo, there were 79 kings ruled in Ife before Oduduwa cutting across different dynasties (Ife Oodaye, Ife Ooyelagbo) after that Oduduwa dynasty which 5 Oonis was crowned before the founder of your Obaship (Oranmiyan) returns and became the 6th Ooni!!! You mumus need good history lesson!!! Sultan of sokoto, Emir of Kano, Ooni of Ife and other monarchs graced his coronation and that doesn't mean he pays hommage at the coronation you fool.

Newton85:
Yeah, that must be why your Oba is called "abieyuwa n'ovbi odua n'uhe" (son of the wealthy Odua of Ice). That must also be why your Oba is called "Ovbi Adimula" (Son of Adimula). Adimula is Oduduwa's other name. And that must also be why your Oba is called "Ikeji orisha" (second in command to the gods), which is a title for Yoruba Obas. Not that I should have dignified you with a response though. I should have left you with your fellow clown who says Bini people are Yoruba. The two of you deserve each other. Peace.

Maliqcious:
The cradle of civilization(Benin) Well, I like the way Edolite thinks no argument. How can I tell most tribe that it was the downfall of Benin empire that made colonialism possible. Most Southern Nigeria cultural, deity, costume and attire breeds from Benin empire.

Nisiw365:

Edo's are subgroup of Yoruba

gregyboy:



Yorubas are sub group of edo and igbo mix

SlyDev:
Anything for the black Jews lash on their parasitic finger on. They may look like igbo but there are not igbo. Igala are not Yoruba despite closer similarities

Look at their bead, their cloth like Bini, shey igbo get indiegenous cloth? The problem started when igbo were borrowing culture left and right and will call it their own.

SlayerForever:


That dressing is undeniably Igbo. However they may not be Igbo.

Fejoku:

The bolded is false. Benin military might was never strong enough 70km radius from Benin city. Where was Benin when jihadist took over Auchi? Benin was already down by the time the British decided to colonize Nigeria.

OGHENAOGIE:
You idiotic majority tribe like to colonize people how are they Igbos cos they dress in that clothing... U better format that your useless Brain

Senudi96:


Look at their language, names and cultural practices. Edoid cultures don't have New Yam festival.

Perhap many years living close to their Edoid neighbors have made them borrow some aspects of their culture and traditions but they're more Igbo than Edo.

Menance:


I also curse those who try to belittle Igbo by attaching it to other irrelevant tribe.

But God punish u and your house.h0ld for your 2nd sentence

Gambit23:


Insults will not change the fact that there are IGBO clans in Edo state

Shouting GOD punish IGBOs will not delete the fact that there are IGBOs klin Edo state.


And YES, Both IGBO land(Extends to the SS and middle belt) and SE has more than enough oil n gas that will serve us till the end of this century and beyond. IMO Anambra and Abia are already oil producing. And few weeks back, the courts have declared that 43 oil wells belonging to IGBOs which past leaders forced into Rovers state belongs to igbos.

Who God has blessed, no man can curse.

boogie2:
Nairalanders please don't be deceived. That village is next to mine. Or rather that clan is next to mine. We speak the same language. Same customs. We are not in any way related to the ibos. Our language is one of the edoid languages meaning its tied to the Edo language. Our ancestors migrated from Benin. This is something I have researched. The red cap is purely coincidental. Historically we are more connected to the northerners who tried to conquer us during the jihad but failed.
