Abeg, allow the Oba of Benin rest..

Even palace don know say Oba goofed.. he won't do it again

Benwallt:


You are still living on the map of Nigeria. Lagos has expanded while southeast has shrunk due to the effect of devastating erosion that has created archipelago of gullies in the region.

lexy2014:


if you say that "Oduduwa son became first king in Benin" was that "first king in Benin" the one that gave birth to all the Binis that present days Binis now have to trace their ancestry to him?

also, is the Oba of Benin wrong in his claim that the Binis FOUNDED Lagos?

Christistruth00:


Awori founded the City of Lagos and still own it today

KingKO22:
Ordinarily, when you take a look at Lagos, it is surrounded by Yoruba land from Egba, Awori to Ijebu and Sagamu

So the Binin kingdom jumped all the entire Yoruba land from Ore, to Ijebu and Sagamu and found a place in another man's kingdom

The fact that you settle in a place doesn't make you the owner.

This history mainly pointing to the fact that Edo kingdom are from Yoruba land.
The names of their founder Kings are Yoruba names

tollyboy5:

If i may ask what is the importance of oduduwa in the yoruba race?
He never founded anything or did anything special. Just dethrone obatala and spread his seed.
What else makes oduduwa important in the Yoruba race?

tollyboy5:

Stop saying moba came to build a wall within ijebu territory. That's not acceptable! My ancestors came from the motherland ijebu-ode and found their respective town in their present location.
I was seeing some documentation how the first settlers who discovered Poka in Epe came from Ife. Some yoruba historian will just sit in one beer parlour and start assumming things as if the natives of the places they patching history are extint. I see that are lazy historian who dont make proper research by visiting village heads.
Years ago Epe was tought even lasu to be an awori kingdom which is not true. Awori dominance in epe started after the magbon war that decimate the old ijebu kingdom. I dont think any ijebu man will accept this your portion of history without proves.

We ijebus have our pride to keep

We have told them severally that the official/royal language in Oba of Bini's Palace is Yoruba (ede Ife) not until recently, during Oba Akenzua/Ereduawa reigns (the 2 immediate past Obas) that they started to re write the history by hiding/erasing all these facts, including the burial of the heads of their departed Obas in Orun Oba Ado shrines in Ile-Ife.

christistruth01:


Benin were not the founders of Lagos

Benin only saw a Great Party going on in Lagos and joined in

If the Itsekiri had made the Claim it would have been far more tolerable ,at least those ones have Lagos Ijebu roots and gladly say it

Racoon:
Oba really touched a nerve. But Fulani confidently claimed Ilorin and chase people to find refuge in Benin Republic, them no talk pim. Instead they were protesting and standing with their killer Palestinian terrorists brothers in Monatan - Iwo Road.

christistruth01:



Yes Oba of Benin was wrong in his claim that was why we said Yorubas were in Lagos with even a Moba kingdom there before Oduduwa was born they later assimilated with the Awori people

All Oba's of Benin descended from Oduduwa

Do you know that the first Ogiso Obagodo who founded Igodomigodo was from Ile Ife and founded Igodomigodo with his followers who were at least part of a Pre Oduduwa. population of Igodomigodo

Oya wetin you want talk
The first Ogiso Obagodo was from Ile Ife too

Ogene001:

So called educated tribe mixing up rubbish and calling it history. The whole yoruba academia can't come up with unbiased objective history

Iykenuwa:



In matters like this, I try to be as respectful as possible.


Kindly go online, do a little research, then come back and refute any point I raised.


Meanwhile:

1. Oduduwa didn't come from the sky.

2. He couldn't have been an Arabian Prince, the earliest date given for the establishment of Old Oyo was 1300 AD, no matter the age of Oduduwa, if he was Arab, he would have brought Islam then because Islam was already established in the Arabian Pennisular as at that time.

3. The most reasonable yoruba Origin story for Oduduwa claims he came from the "East". Get a map and check which was the most prominent Kingdom or society East of Ife as at that time.



We don't do insults, we do facts.

Raf4:
Oba of Bini should also accept that Ife people founded Bini.
When Ife people (Yoruba) led by Oranmiyan invaded igodomigodo, they subdued the people they met there, changed the name of the settlement from igodomigodo to Ile Ibinu that's now shortened to Bini till today. They also established Obaship dynasty with
Oranmiyan as 1st Oba and his descendants, from Eweka till today as Omonoba (the real title of Binis' King I.e. child of Oba Oranmiyan). Also know that Eweka wasn't the only Yoruba/Ife child left behind in Bini. Ife people actually populated the place with many children they gave birth to in Bini, most by Edo/Esan mothers. That's why we still have so many ancient Yoruba surnames in Bini till today e.g. Obasuyi, Alonge, Ajayi, Ojo, Falaye, Oyegun, Ogun...., Ade...Balogun etc.

Krismas:
U d greater Mumu! There is nothing to ponder over. What is the The Egyptian words Oduduwa introduced to Yoruba language?

Krismas:
What Yorubas have is Balogun NEVER Oloriogun. It not for you. U borrowed it. Same thing the word Oba. It’s from the Bini monarch! It’s not a Yoruba word

GODPUNISHALABI:
Lol see as them dey fight for lagos if say na emir of kano talk say na dem get lagos u go see as all of them go keep quiet....I no see this same energy when dem ban their useless festival for ilorin, them know who dem dey fear

TinubuThief:
No be them even get the nonsense slum Lagos wey them they carry do mouth sef.
Lazy tribe

MadamVanessa:


If only these cowards defended their people like this when Fulani herdsmen killed them and still chased them away from their land ,I don't think there will be any need for idp camps In Benin republic for this coward refugees.

Don't forget as we talk now llorin has been captured by the Fulanis, isese festival stopped by this same Fulanis, yet they say nothing about it.

They suddenly have their voice now, because it's oba of Benin, but let Fulani come now, all of them will run and hide nobody will mutter a word. Cowards.

PoliteActivist:
I'm surprised other tribes are not putting in a claim too. I mean, why not? As it seems all these people are simply making up their own histories as suits their particular purpose!
Even our main man below, saying he is not what we all know he is!

VEHINTOLAR:


Lol,another ignorant Bini man from that very tiny 2- LGA land in Edo State ! Now,let me burst that your empty head;believe it or not,the language Yoruba people speak today has a lot of similarities with the language spoken by the likes of Biblical Moses ! Before you start acting like some rabbies infested dog because of what I just informed you about,go and research it online,then come back here with your findings ! You guys are just too ingnorant,you think you and Yoruba are same people,right ?! Far from it !

Mosba:
Just assuming you are a biologist studying Yorubas and Benis as species, The only conclusion you will reach is that the dominant specie(Yoruba) spread to and gave birth to Benin and not the other way around.
However, for the sake of our other brothers from the east let's call Lagos A NO MAN'S LAND

itsene:


Use your biology to compass tiny England and populous India, a former colony.
Ditto Japan and China.

Krismas:
Hieroglyphics is not a language. It’s pictorial depictions like emoji or emoticon. Egyptians didn’t speak hieroglyphics, Wot they spoke is no longer known! However it could be sumarian or acadian or any of the Aramaic derivatives pandemic in the area around that period. And I don’t think any of dem resemble Yoruba. Hint. Beware of fake research

Stop doing this senseless tribal hate banters, it makes people sound somewhat stupid.

Don't use the fact that others are doing it as an excuse to engage in such nonsense.
