Exotic has discovered that the name BINI is actually not Yoruba derived. It is not Itsekiri either. He has taken on the responsibility to teach and explain the ancestral roots of the Bini people and their noble kingdom.

Exotic, who are the Binis, please start from their historical beginning in antiquity. We are listening.

Bini is the white corruption of "Ubinu". The name the Edo's originally called themselves.

Ile Ibinu is not the original name. Rather, they say that their ancient name was Idu. Idu is the name of their progenitor.

I meant "previously", not "originally". But my point still stands that Europeans only got "Bini" from "Ubinu".

The native name for the people and the city of Benin was "Edo." 

"Ubinu" is not an Edo usage; that name came from the Itsekiris, whose lands bordered the Benin Kingdom's, and who were heavily influenced by the Benin Kingdom.  The Portuguese learned the name "Ubinu" from the coast dwellers and applied it to the city they were in contact with.

The "Ile Ibinu" comes from the Yoruba account of Oranmiyan.

Just like we have ife ijumu, ife in igala, amadzofe, mawufe etc In Ghana, Benin's name given by Oranmiyan Was Ife Ubinu Meaning Ife Of Anger, Oranyan Left The Place In Anger. The Name Stuck, The Pre Oranyan Name Is Igndomigndo
