I can't blame most of this people hating on each other here, the hate was actually passed from generation to generation and it keeps getting stronger day by day....
We were also brought up with the same mindset but we chose not to follow the path of destruction that these people follows...

Let me tell you a little story Sir...

About 18years ago, I was in a commercial Bus going to Ibadan from Osun state. ..
There was this two Igbo men sitting at the back of the Bus and I was sitting at the middle... Honestly speaking would you believe that despite the fact that these guys works and live among the Yorubas, all their conversation till we got to the destination was all about their hate for those people, how they can never allow their daughters to marry from from them and their son likewise...
My heart was trouble and I wept within, how exactly did we get to this point and one thing I want you to know is that the only thing making the hate stronger is Politics as we stand now...

Those two grown up men, how do you want them to relate with their kids on issues that concerns the Yorubas ?
And the same thing goes for any Yoruba man with the same mindset as those Igbo men...

Most of us are being misled and I pray may God help us out of this mess!!

VEHINTOLAR:


Ego triggered gibberish ! Hypocrite,why are you trying to make this look like there was a war of conquest between Binis and Yoruba at any point in history and that the Binis won ?! The truth is that well over 85% of all Yoruba slaves were captured by same Yoruba soilders during the numerous intra Yoruba wars. These slaves were equally sold to wherever by same Yoruba slave merchants of those era. Have you heard of Efunsetan Aniwura,Iyalode Ilu Ibadan before ? You may need to research who Madam Efunsetan was to have an idea of what I'm talking about ! So,what nonsense idea are you even trying to sell here, what's that exactly ?

Look at who is subtly selling the idea of "Yoruba slaves in Benin",funny idiot from a tiny land ! Go and ask your elders at home, there were times in history when Binis were not even permitted to enter the palace of Oba of Benin because it was strictly a sacred Yoruba territory ! Ask them also,only if they will tell you the truth,if Yoruba language was not the official language spoken at the palace of Oba of Benin as at the time the Portuguese arrived in Benin ?!

Lol,Bini this,Bini that ! Who do you people even think you are ? You honestly believe it would have been any challenge for the battle hardened and tested Yoruba Army,ably led by the Ibadan warlords to overrun your tiny kingdom if they had been instructed to do by the Alaafin of Oyo ?! Even your Bini progenitors knew they had alot to thank Oranmiyan for because he was the primary reason why Yoruba Army never declared war and invaded any territory east of Yorubaland! Though some of us consider that decision a mistake given what's happening today !

Whether you Bini admit it or not,the fact is that Benin royalty is of Yoruba descents. It is not by accident that Yoruba culture and heritage is quite visible in Benin,especially at the palace of Oba. From all the deities being worshipped at the palace to the praise names and appellations of the Oba, everything is rooted in Yoruba ! Yoruba people influenced Bini culture but not other way round, it's a fact !

Go and read the Ijaws accounts regarding the history of ancient Benin,read it with free, unbiased mind. The Ijaws were ancient Binis next door neighbors and they stated clearly in their own accounts as thus; "the Binis are the aboriginal people of Benin but the royalty is of Yoruba descent" ! The Ijaws recorded it in their history of Benin that as thus ; an influencial Yoruba Prince from a foreign land (Ile Ife) arrived with a very large entourage of his Yoruba people in Benin and reigned over the city" ! This is not any imagination,you can research it for confirmation. So,you Bini can try as much as you can,the truth will always be the truth !

OBA OF BINI,HISTORICALLY,IS NOT A BINI MAN,HE IS A YORUBA MAN,this is the painful truth you Binis are desperately trying in vain to eraze !

FreeStuffsNG:
Tell one lie and you will need many other lies to cover it.

At no point in time did anyone, including the Oba of Benin, deny it until now that they have been proven and exposed to be lying. Smh. Other lies will be exposed in due course.

The wise words of Oonirisa has come to pass.
He said that they will come back to Yorubaland one day to hear their own history and receive tutorials on Yoruba history. It came to pass in Lagos on Sunday.

The lesson: Pride will goeth before a fall.

They came late. As it stands now, majority Yoruba don't care and have moved on. Edo no be Lagos o.

Below screenshots are just for the record before their historical significance are inaccurately revised by the minority Bini and rest of them someday.

1st Pix: Proof that the Oba of Lagos never said Lagos belong to Bini yet Oba of Benin said he said so.

2nd Pix: The Orun Oba Ado square in Ile Ife where heads of Obas of Benin are buried after their demise. The Bini are denying such fact.

3rd Pix : The current Oba of Benin, in red attire, sitting way behind the Oonirisa according to official protocol in order of Seniority.

God bless Nigeria for ever. Check my signature for free stuffs!

I don't just know why, whenever I see that picture of Oba bowing to that woman I get angry.

KingOfAllIgbos:


FiraO9's Igbo. He just left under the bed after Monday lockdown.

His intention is to derail the thread and make Yorubas & Bini insult each other.

Yes Edo folks and SW might differ in political ideology but all those herdsmen rape talk are things even a bastard Edo boy wouldn't say. That's straight from play book of an Igbo coward.

Only a bastard, a weakling and a coward would deny his identity.

itsene:
Ethnic groups attack Benin for reasons best known to them..
From what I am reading people actually compile whatever negative situations they can use against Benin.
Yorubas, igbos and ijaws almost do a tag team assault on Benin whenever convenient.
Explaining a myth quickly became a parade of insults and derogatory remarks.

KingOfAllIgbos:


Have you tested for rabies recently ?

Even rabid dogs don't sound this pathetic

E pain am.

Abagworo:
Nothing good about monarchy except if it's just honorary. I see monarchy as ancient culture just kept for the sake of cultural preservation already overtaken by modernity. It's just like staying stuck in mud house

NaMe4:


Even if you guys want to continue with the stupidity started yesterday, don't deteriorate to the point of expressing imaginations.

Do you realise in Benin, there are communities and quarters that were handed over to former slaves after the abolishment of slave trade, and a number of these communities were mainly Yorubas who are now Binis? I'm sure you've never heard any Edo mention this, because we believe in dignity and respect of others.
You can inquire from any knowledgeable Yoruba who lives in or has a good knowledge of Edo. They go tell you.


Do you know Yorubas made up the 2nd largest (some data even argue the highest) number of slaves who emerged from 'Nigeria'?


Desist from writing fables or matters you know nothing about.

Iamgrey5:
There is a dude quoting you on this thread that doesn't know you are actually a Bini decedant in Lagos island yourself.

StJasper:


The most finish man in Benin Kingdom is still wiser and more intelligent than the wisest man from your village.

I don't know why you people don't just want to accept the fact that other people are entitled to their own political choice.

Must everyone lean towards your own political beliefs?

What happened to political pluralism?

Dennisochampa:
.... Oya go ring road for Benin go talk am... I Wan check something

aljharem:


Since the election I no longer consider binis. A lot of them no get sense

aljharem:


You sef talk your nonsense for island

killsmith:

During the 100 years kiriji wars the yorubas raided themselves. Egba vs ijebu, ife vs modakeke etc. They kidnapped and sold each other as slaves only to use the proceeds of the sales to purchase horses for their army.

Shattuck:
talking about your father. Because we didn't vote for druggie.

aljharem:


That is your problem. Some of your people came online dey misyarn for yoruba people. These are the same people that have respected your independence and customs. Una destroy bond and now Yorubas have had it. To hell with any Bini pesin. Go an join Ekpa people who don't have sense.

Shattuck:
destroy bond? because we refuse to join you in your stupid hate filled Ronu nonsense and your hate against the Igbos, because we chose not to vote for a man without morals and decency. To hell with you and your respect for our customs.

aljharem:


Your views, yorubas don't hate Igbos.

Thank God he is president. Go and hang yourself. I am of bini origin and I repeat people like you are foolish

There was no "queen" in England in
1950. ❎❎❎❎❎

Don't caption something you don't know.

You have decided to give queenhood to
a random woman on a London street .

naptu2:
In recent times a myth has circulated that the Oba of Benin does not leave his palace or travel. Similar myths have spread about other traditional rulers in the past. These stories are not true. I have been watching the news for several decades and I have seen each of these traditional rulers leave their palaces and travel many times.

Ọmọ n'Ọba n'Ẹdo Uku Akpọlọkpọlọ, Akenzua II reigned from 1933 – 1978. In 1950 the British Council invited him to the UK to study their system of local government. In the first picture below you can see him arriving the UK with his wife, Queen Idada (The Ohan of the Harem).

In the second picture below you can see him outside Buckingham Palace, where he met the Queen.

In the third picture you can see Oba Akenzua II at the wheel of a London bus, when he visited the London Transport Drivers' Training School at Chiswick, West London in 1950.

The fourth picture shows the Omo n’Oba boarding a train in the UK.

naptu2:
Similarly, I saw Omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa I, who reigned from 1979 till 2016, leave his palace and travel many times.

Oba Erediauwa travelled to Ife not long after he was crowned in 1979. He went to thank the Ooni of Ife, Sir Adesoji Aderemi, for coming to his coronation (see first picture below). Sir Adesoji Aderemi, as a courtesy to his guest, allowed him to sit on the black leather chair (previously, only the Ooni sat on the chair).

Oba Erediauwa embarked on a thank you tour of Nigeria in 1982. He visited all the other 18 states to thank traditional rulers for coming to his coronation (Nigeria had 19 states back then). I remember watching his visits to the Emir of Kano and the Emir of Zaria on the news.

Didi Museum, the first private museum in Nigeria, was founded in Lagos in May 1983. It was founded by the engineer, explorer and art enthusiast, Dr Newton Jibunoh (in honour of his late sister). The museum was declared open by the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and many traditional rulers, including the Oba of Benin, were present at the event. The second picture below shows Dr. Newton Jibunoh with then Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade Olubuse II and Oba Of Benin, Oba Erediauwa.

The third picture shows the governor of Oyo State, Chief Bola Ige, with Oba Erediauwa and two other traditional rulers. Oba Erediauwa served as the Chancellor of the University of Ibadan and he often attended university activities.

naptu2:


WRONG!

How can you say that there was no queen in England in 1950? That is completely wrong

I am not referring to any woman on any street.

A little information is a dangerous thing.

I hope you will think again and understand and I don't have to spell out her name for you.

adecz:





Elizabeth became queen in 1952 when
her father died same year.

Now, tell us, who was queen of England
in 1950❓❓
