The way you guys are obsessed with Benin is incredible, what in hell links Benin to this event, yet you had to mention the Oba of Benin whose title your monarchs keep using fraudulently as if they have forgotten their own titles. You clearly lack understanding of history and seem to believe the current political structure in the land mass of Nigeria has always been in place.
Let me open your eyes a little, here is a Precolonial map of Africa, locate Benin on it, and look for Ife on it. That will tell you the difference in importance between Benin empire and Ife village !
Do you know how insulting it is to say that the king of a large sovereign country got his crown from a village head called Oni of Ife ?

Most of you guys don't understand that Benin Kingdom/empire was a country ! An independent country until it lost a war to the UK! What exactly was Ife if not a village !

HydraFeeds:
you failed to understand that Ife kingdom was a power block during the time of Oduduwa and Okanbi that gave birth to Oranmiyan that became the first Oba of Benin then passed it down to his son Eweka 1 .

These happened several years before British Invasion ,that Rome is a small country now does not mean it’s not one of the greatest empire ever witnessed in human history.


And the map you posted seems to be fake cos of the area kingdom of Benin covered even I couldn’t find Oyo empire that’s greater than Benin empire on the map not even the northern part of present day Nigeria.

Unbiased1:
As long as it is not in Ilorin, no problem. Instead of this Hot of Ife to provide palliatives for his Osun IDPs who are protesting, he is presenting crown to another useless monarch who has no purpose in modern society. Monarchs everywhere, purpose = nothing.

Fstar1:

That is my confusion, since the crown was presented by ooni!

Stoplying:

Dude, do you realise that you are spewing nonesense?
Oranmiyan is not a person who actually existed, that is just a fairytale! How old are you ?
The thing with Europeans is that they actually have PROOF ! Europeans have eyewitness written documents to claim the links between their monarchies. You have no eyewitness written document ! Just so you know, the tradition of naming our monarchs by putting a number after their name came directly from the British ! There is no Eweka 1 !
Your lack of knowledge is huge!
You are stvpid that you claim a village head gave an emperor his crown !

Oyo was never an empire, there is no eyewitness evidence to back Yoruba unsubstantiated claims about oyo. To was a small kingdom which the Fulani invaded and partially annexed.

They is a protest currently going on in IGR republic and OSUN :

The Kabiyesi will definitely report to the Emir of Ilorin.

ivolt:

None of your kings since Eweka I, the son of Oranmiyan ever denied their Ife origin.
The current British monarchy came from "inconsequential" Germans.
The pope with zero army in the year past were installing powerful kings in Europe.
BTW, there are many precolonial maps, it is dumb to ignore others and choose one that
suits your narrative.
Nobody is denying what Benin empire was but fact is fact!

kad199:
He would still take the crown too Emir of Ilorin for blessing and confirmation.

How about you stop making claims about us for a change, how about you stop harassing us instead of complaining that we are not showing appreciation for your harassment! We are not Yoruba, our monarch is not Yoruba. Now leave us alone !

Stoplying:

How does this your comment negate what I said ?

Oranmiyan never existed, he is a fairytale figure like Odin and Zeus.

Oyo was never an empire, there is no eyewitness evidence to back Yoruba unsubstantiated claims about oyo. To was a small kingdom which the Fulani invaded and partially annexed.

MyExpression:
The Yorubas in Kwara are forging alliances with their ancestry.

Now that Jagaban is there, let them have a go at their autonomy from the caliphate and flourish like other Western states.

Destroyerofyeeb:
Now I know why these Benin people hate Yoruba for no reason. Their oba is a Yoruba man of yoruba ancestry They have forgotten their yoruba fathers and joined human eaters to hate on Yoruba people

MrColdsweat:

Still can't understand why people don't see that kingship is a petty scam.

Akinfemmy:


So apparently, the Benin monarchy comes from the Yoruba ancestry. But some of you Binis seem to hold a grudge against the Yoruba people, and nobody really knows why. Some people don't even care about all that drama. But one thing we should all remember is that we shouldn't twist history to suit our own opinions. If you want to argue that Oranmiyan never existed,you better have some rock-solid evidence to back it up. Otherwise, you should just keep your opinions to yourself and stick to reading reputable sources.
