[s]We are not talking about empire here madam.

About the Lagos even the map you brought contradict you.

They have been telling you Benin lagos was under Benin rule you keep denying and bringing story of moonlight.

The map say Great Benin/lagos[/s]
The stupidity of you Binis is a very deep special type of stupid.

You run around with different monikers pretending to be different persons in order to give the impression that some users agree with you.

Yet you can’t even do it right by using different colors to highlight the different maps you’ve highlighted.

Now to your main stupidity, now where does the map use the phrase “Great Benin/Lagos”. Aiyelala is actually making you see double. But that’s even by the way.

Again, going by your deluded logic of reading maps; do you agree or not that Guineans conquered, ruled and owned Benin kingdom according to the maps below??

Going by your deluded logic of reading maps; do you agree or not that Igbos conquered, ruled, and owned Benin kingdom according to the 2nd map below??

If you even one brain cell, you would have known that one of the people with whom the Europeans traded & were acquainted are the Binis; and one of the places from where they traded with them is the trade colony they stayed at the island of Eko.

You guys should talk to your Ọba so he can lift the ban he placed on brain usage in Benin.

Even down to the 19th/20th century as we see obas like eweka praying to his ancestors and oba akenzua joining his yoruba brothers in the yoruba council of chiefs meeting. But you and your brothers are here crying about trying to explain the fact that you are born sla!vs ekaladerhan this one, mythical that one. You lot will cry well.

And Oduduwa is from Edo your first ruler. I watch a Yoruba movie how Oduduwa was teaching them how to sew cloths because clothes was alien to them then they normally go naked that time until the well govern Benin came to colonized you all.

During your first ruler Oduduwa Edo/Ado or Idu have already be well governed by 30 Ogiso.

Ask your self did Oromyian came forcefully to rule benin no Benin chiefs pleaded with him to come.

How can he rule the mighty Edo a kingdom that have be in existence 1000s of year long before Yoruba have the first ruler.

Oromyan couldn’t rule Benin as it too powerful for him to rule with the fear to be victims of same thing that make his father Oduduwa was unable to rule the mighty kingdom.

Oduduwa is son of the last Ogiso (the ruler of the sky). I guess this was the reason he told you people he came from the sky and you people literally think he mean he fell from the sky lol

That is the Benin ife connection.

After many years the Benin being the first established kingdom they aim was to explore just as European did by coming to Africa to
Colonized them, Benin already started that long ago.

Benin went west they colonized akure install their ruler and make them pay tribute to Benin kingdom they went forward to all Ondo all Ekiti and after the finish establishing this place they went further to Lagos and install their first ruler.


And this one here is saying trash.



You keep lying to yourself #Tao11

This an eyewitness European
1584 map of Africa
Ortelius, Abraham,1527-1598.


In this map you can see how all south south was know as Benin the green dote is where lagose is today all of them was known as Benin.

Lagose to middle bet to Itshekiri to ado Ekiti all was known as Benin by European. And this one bor yesterday want to come change history here.

Something isn't rubbish because your battered ego and sentiments can't take it. It not rubbish because it disproves fables you have been told under the moonlight. It's not rubbish because it doesn't allow you claim other peoples territory of which you have zero influence in. Sorry. It's rubbish if a counter argument with facts and evidence can be given.

You have given none. In fact I'm suprised nisai is egging you on. The conclusions of this people was that IFE-BENIN relationship was made up and not real so I'm wondering why are you are going back to oduduwa angry grin cheesy it's really strange . TAO11 has brought evidences from your own side of the earliest accounts, even sometimes bringing in your dictionary and eye witness reports from the 2by2 kingdom to disprove many lies. You literally most of the times bring nothing. Even when you do, the evidence you bring ends up disproving you. It's embarrassing really. I mean the YouTube video your brother was throwing around clearly states that the so called bini descendants in lagos came from ife via bini. Infact in the same way video, it was clearly stated that ashipa was an isheri man. So you see how foolish you people can be.

All you can do now is troll a Woman who keeps educating you. We will keep educating your dum!b bini asses.

Its funny they don't realize the edo itself is a local bini pronunciation of Ado a yoruba word which has meaning. We settled here is the meaning of ado. Ask them the meaning of edo and it would be butterflies.

Although it's true that a name for the awori-bini prince too was ado(son of ashipa and the oba of benins daughter at the time) and yes its a culture of the yorubas to name people from where they are from infact its a bit universal. Like you'll see Catherine of aragon wife of King Henry 8

This argument is totally uncalled for

The benin/ife relationship never existed it was a political tales told for political unification of the edo and Yoruba during the indirect rule system

The ogimien treaty was an indigenous treaty that involved no Yoruba as a party but was later twisted to include the Yoruba history as a distortion so the ogimien would look advantageous from what i know the true history of ogimien and the benin palace is still unknown to the benin people in all it never involved the third party called yorubas

The royal family of benin have already shot themselves in the foot by not openly dismissing the benin/ife myth when due they enjoyed the presence it brought so anyone can use it as a distortion against the palace

* The ogiso tales where myths and the myth originated from Christianity influence by the Europeans who believed on sky king Jesus influenced the benins to tell their own tales of a sky king who came to rule them like Jesus laughable, i guess but true, with the study of benin tradition from a traditional hunter who still go to the forest to hunt for animals at night even uptil last year i got a general insight of benin traditional worship like witches wizard, ghost, oso and omobabe from his narrative it was clear benin believe system and spiritualism was base clearly on earth and no heavenly narrative

Eko, is the short name of ekonuame meaning camp of waters given by the benins, ekosodin likewise was the camp of general oshodin in benin kingdom

The name benin was gotten from the iteskiris
Who first encountered the Portuguese and warned them not venture into the angry lands of benin

The word oba is as indigenous as olokun, ayelala, ovia, ogun.. Although ifa, oromila isago
Was introduced during the benin stay in the western regional politics, the word oba (shinny one), omo no ba nedo (the one who shines for the edo people) is an indigenous words that found is way into the Yoruba lexicon during the various benin military occupation in the west words like ogene in urhobo,etasko are still proves benin old words could spread that far and still remains till date

Samuk,

Omo wetin be this. Any sources sir or its just your wish and fantasy? grin I can also wake up and try and give some explanations of what could have happened because i don't like a fact all from my head. Doesn't make it true you know.

You and your brother's should decide which one, because your followers here are vehement on their position.

Oba is indigenous as far back as when oranmiyan came to benin from yoruba land. It's very well known that the benin kingdom was bilingual and the official language of the palace was yoruba as a result of ife dynasty ruling in benin so its no suprise that many Yoruba words that can't be broken down in local bini language are in bini as so called indigenous words. Oba as a word for King has meaning and can be broken down in yoruba language, in edo its a different pronunciation and refers to something esle entirely. Cheech the edo or bini dictionary for reference. Stop looking for silly excuses that can easily be debunked greggyboy.

Eko can't be broken down in bini and it's a borrowed word. Eko is from ereko in yoruba language and its e-re-oko a place for farming, the bini migrants most of whom trace descent from ife by the way and spoke yoruba language (as it was like I've said a billion times the language of the benin palace was a lingua franca) settled on eko and it became a camp for the their activities hence the word came into bini usage.


Bini people and kingdom is great but any lies in a bid to project some false superiority will be aggressively debunked with facts and evidence like my good sister TAO11 always does especially when all historians know the truth that the bini kingdom was founded by ife

(1) According to the 1969 report of the archaeological survey of Ife by P. Ozanne:

Ife was 1st inhabited since some very distant antiquity and had many autonomous settlements by the fourth century BCE.

(2) King Oduduwa is from Oke-Ọra — one of the Late Stone Age hilly settlements surrounding the Ife bowl.

(2) Before Oduduwa’s reign in Ile-Ife, the city has had about 97 Ọbas (kings) from the provinces in Ife.

(3) From Oduduwa’s time, kings/chiefs were dispersed to other lands — including some non-Yorùbá lands.

(4) The Ogiso chiefdom of ‘Benin’ had not yet begun at the time, when Ife has already had about 97 Ọbas.

(5) The first Ogiso at ‘Benin’ was sent from Ife during the King Oduduwa’s era.

(6) The third Ogiso at ‘Benin’ was the last one sent from Ife, and he returned to Ife.

(7) The 3rd Ogiso returned back home to Ife when Ife became quite convinced that the native Binis have now been brushed up enough to continue by themselves.

(8 ) The Ogiso chiefdom later collapsed. The Bini elders now sent to Ife again for a capable ruler.

(9) One of Oduduwa’s youngest grandsons was sent to Benin for the task — a permanent rulership now.

(10) He was soon disgusted by their archaicness that he left in disgust.

(11) He, however, left a strict order that his baby from one of their daughters be made their king when he is of age — Ife courtiers to be sent to assist the govt.

(12) At this time, he was already king elsewhere — at a Yorùbá town, viz. Ọyọ-Ile.

(13) Later on, his child at Benin was installed as king of Benin, and was styled with the title “Ọmọnọba” which literally means: “The Child King”.

PS: The European map attached below was created in the year 1513.

It depicts the phrase “Realm of Ọɣọnẹ” thus indicating the only relevant kingdom in the “Nigeria” region.

This is not explainable as mere acquaintance—as they (these Europeans) had no trade/any relations with this Ọɣọni’s kingdom a the time being far from the coast in the deeply forested interior.

The only valid explanation is, therefore, of a firsthand received information from the natives near the coast (i.e. Binis, Ijebus, et al.) who all admit to the seniority, superiority, precedence of this kingdom of the Ọɣọni [Ooni] at the time.

I didn’t ask you for ocean of tears. So, why all these?

All I ask for is that: For every Benin tales-by-moonlight you tell; bear in mind that this is not Ekpenede street where the dullards don’t ask for evidence. Stop getting mad when we ask for evidence.

Also, stop getting mad when we provide evidence to show that the Yorùbá group remains your father from prehistory till present and into the future.

(1) According to the 1969 report of the archaeological survey of Ife by P. Ozanne:

Ife was 1st inhabited since some very distant antiquity and had many autonomous settlements by the fourth century BCE.

(2) King Oduduwa is from Oke-Ọra — one of the Late Stone Age hilly settlements surrounding the Ife bowl.

(2) Before Oduduwa’s reign in Ile-Ife, the city has had about 97 Ọbas (kings) from the provinces in Ife.

(3) From Oduduwa’s time, kings/chiefs were dispersed to other lands — including some non-Yorùbá lands.

(4) The Ogiso chiefdom of ‘Benin’ had not yet begun at the time, when Ife has already had about 97 Ọbas.

(5) The first Ogiso at ‘Benin’ was sent from Ife during the King Oduduwa’s era.

(6) The third Ogiso at ‘Benin’ was the last one sent from Ife, and he returned to Ife.

(7) The 3rd Ogiso returned back home to Ife when Ife became quite convinced that the native Binis have now been brushed up enough to continue by themselves.

(8 ) The Ogiso chiefdom later collapsed. The Bini elders now sent to Ife again for a capable ruler.

(9) One of the Oduduwa’s young grandsons was sent to Benin for the task — a permanent rulership now.

(10) He was soon disgusted by their archaicness that he left in disgust.

(11) He, however, left a strict order that his baby from one of their daughters be made king when he grows up.

(12) At this time, he was already king elsewhere — at a Yorùbá town, viz. Ọyọ-Ile.

(13) Later on, his child at Benin was installed as king in Benin and was styled with the title “Ọmọnọba". This literally means: “King’s child”.

PS: The European map attached below was created in the year 1513.

It depicts the phrase “Realm of Ọɣọnẹ” thus indicating the only relevant kingdom in the “Nigeria” region.

This is not explainable as mere acquaintance—as they (these Europeans) had no trade/any relations with this Ọɣọni’s kingdom a the time being far from the coast in the deeply forested interior.

The only valid explanation is, therefore, of a firsthand received information from the natives near the coast (i.e. Binis, Ijebus, et al.) who all admit to the seniority, superiority, precedence of this kingdom of the Ọɣọni [Ooni] at the time.

I didn’t ask you for ocean of tears. So, why all these?

All I ask for is that: For every Benin tales-by-moonlight you tell; bear in mind that this is not Ekpenede street where the dullards don’t ask for evidence. Stop getting mad when we ask for evidence.

Also, stop getting mad when we provide evidence to show that the Yorùbá group remains your father from prehistory till present and into the future.

Cheers.
