Their problem. Would the council of Benin chiefs also suspend Oba of Benin too for saying he is the son of Oranmiyan and Grandson of Oduduwa in his coronation video below? He also said Oranmiyan established Obaship in Benin

Four things are very clear;
1. That those individuals that visited Ooni's palace are indeed traditional functionaries of the Benin kingdom.
2. That the suspension signifies the fact that they are indeed serving royal chiefs of the Benin kingdom.
3. That the Benin kingdom are hiding some truths from the people of Benin.
4. That the suspension would not deter more people close to the palace to come out with more truths as the people truly know their own history.

Danand1:
All of you Yorubas should just stop all this nonsense, is Oduduwa even a Yoruba man, you admit a foreigner as your father and still want to cajole the people that believe he is from them to be subjected to you, ;Dyou people are clowns

No one just started existing out of nowhere. Everyone migrated from somewhere.

OK if you say Bini is from Igodomigodo, if a particular set of fierce fighters come to conquer your land and install a king, you cease to be owners of the said land.
Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one."
Igodomigodo should have fought harder. Perhaps, they truly deserve a master

Emyzoloye5:
Kudos to the oba of Benin, the miscreants went to do eye service for the hornyy of ife

Goodvibes007:
The Bini are a different people Ogiamen with a language called Edoid.
However, their Oba was sired by a Yoruba man called Oranmiyan which the king himself confirmed.

Yoruba to the World. The OBA of Benin Ewuare II himself attested to the fact they are from Yoruba land.

Where does that word "Oba" come from. It's clearly Yoruba

Five Benin traditional functionaries have been suspended from their roles for engaging in what the palace described as sacrilegious conduct against Benin customs.

The Benin Traditional Council announced their suspension in a statement signed by the Iyase of Benin, Chief Sam Igbe, on Saturday.

The statement noted that the affected functionaries visited the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, where they falsely claimed to be emissaries of the Oba of Benin and rendered inaccurate and disjointed account of the connection between the Benin Royal Dynasty and the Ooni-ship of Ife.

PUNCH Online earlier reported that representatives from the Benin Kingdom, paid a courtesy visit to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, to affirm that Ile-Ife is the ancestral home of the Benin people.


In a now-viral video capturing the exchange, one of the emissaries told the Ooni that despite contrary narratives circulating online, their collective understanding has always recognised Ile-Ife as their ancestral homeland.

“We have always been told that Ife is our home,” the emissary said.

However, the Benin Traditional Council has distanced itself from the representatives whom it described as “a group of self-serving traditional functionaries from Benin.”

The statement reads, “The attention of the Benin Traditional Council has been drawn to video clips circulating on social media in which a group of self-serving traditional functionaries from Benin engaged themselves in a sacrilegious show of shame and falsehood against the Benin Custom.

In the said clip, the individuals who have been identified as Johnbull Igbinosun, Iduhonre (Ihogbe), S.E. Aigbiremwen, Efesieoghoba (Ogbelaka) and two other Ogbelaka functionaries identified as Ogbeide Osagie and Osamudiame Edo were in the presence of the Ooni of Ife, falsely claiming to be emissaries of the Omo N’ObaN’ Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare Il, Oba of Benin. These individuals not only declared themselves subjects of the Ooni but also rendered inaccurate and disjointed accounts of the connection between the Benin Royal Dynasty and the Ooni-ship of Ife.

“While the BTC does not wish to be drawn to restating the well-known connection between the two thrones of the Oba of Benin and the Ooni of Ife, the general public is urged to disregard the inaccurate accounts rendered by the ill-bred individuals named above. For the avoidance of any doubt whatsoever, the BTC advise the general public to avail themselves of the official account of the connection between the two ancient monarchies as contained in the authoritative book titled “I Remain, Sir, Your Obedient Servant” authored by His Royal Majesty, Oba Erediauwa, Oba of Benin (1979 — 2016), published by Spectrum Books/Safari Books, 2004 at pages 205-212.”

Describing the conduct of the representatives as sacrilegious, the council advised the public to steer clear of them.

“The BTC considers the conduct of these functionaries as inappropriate, sacrilegious and calculated to ridicule traditional history and to bring disrepute to Benin custom. Consequently, on the authority of the Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare Il, Oba of Benin the Prescribed Authority over Benin Custom, the BTC hereby announce the suspension of the individuals mentioned above from their role as Benin traditional functionaries.

The general public is advised to refrain from having anything to do with them as traditional functionaries in Benin kingdom throughout their suspension”, the statement added.

You need to head to the *obas* palace and understand your history. Don't confuse yourself

HBB1:



How do you say King in Yoruba?

Danand1:

Is Oduduwa a Yoruba man?
Probably it was in-cooperated into Yoruba language after Oduduwa came, because if Yoruba can take a foreigner as their father, I guess there is nothing impossible.

infofta:


You must understand the connection between Benin and Ile Ife.

A Bini Prince fled the kingdom of Benin and became an Oba in Ife, got married there and had children. He couldn't return to Benin kingdom rather sent one of his male sons to become an Oba in Benin when his father passed away.

DECLAN2015:


Exactly
It is obvious some category of person(s) were not happy
With the distortion of hx
The chief even attested to the social media nonsence

HBB1:



Why were the heads of Benin kings buried in Ile-Ife?

chopnaira:


Their problem. Would the council of Benin chiefs also suspend Oba of Benin too for saying he is the son of Oranmiyan and Grandson of Oduduwa in his coronation video below? He also said Oranmiyan established Obaship in Benin

Suspending them won’t suspend the truth. What they said is incontrovertible and they all know it. Even though we don’t need Benin for anything, we won’t allow them to distort our history.

We thought them everything from setting up their monarchy to teaching them how to make bronzes and how to set up and manage an empire. We even gave them the name “Benin”. Without Oranmiyan, there won’t be an Oba of Benin. So, what’s there to keep denying?

Bini people did not come from youroba land get it cleared its the oba family that came from ife of youroba land. Bini is from Igodomigodo Kingdom no oba but ogiemien

Don't mind them. The history of Benin kingdom shows they were all from Yoruba land. Oba of Benin, Olu of Warri, etc, these are all breakaways from Yoruba land. Any good student of history knows the facts... Itshekiri people can't even deny their origin cos it's too obvious.

The fact that the Chiefs who went to Ooni were suspended says a lot about Benin Kingdom:

1. The were indeed from the palace of the Oba of Benin, whether or not they were on official duty

2. The Benins don't want the truth about their Yoruba origin to be known so as not to be subject to the Ooni or to be seen as a subset of Yoruba land.

3. They have always LIED to their people in order to have a unique identity and be seen as being different from Yorubas.

Goodvibes007:
According to the Ogisos/Ogiamen, Oduduwa is a Yoruba man. They have zero record of anyone called Oduduwa or erakadehran.

There are also NO historical books/article that mentioned Oduduwa coming from bini. It's a recent creation from people trying to distort history.

Oduduwa is an Oke-Ora man just east of Ife. He came from an hilly side dwelling in Ora.

Shattuck:
the truth you need to know is this a bini prince who fled to ife was the one who returned.

Leo34rf:


Oduduwa claimed he came from the the sky gods (The Benin kings aka the Ogisos aka the sky gods). Your people were confused and thought he said he came from the sky. That's why till this day you guys say Oduduwa descended from heaven, the sky. The sky gods were the Ogiso's, the Benin kings.

Danand1:

I don't think that is true, but if it is, it all pointed to because Oduduwa ruled in ife

olamike02:

The Oba of Benin appears to be void of knowledge of where his ancestors are from. The history can't be distorted. I think it's high time he drop the appellation of Oba if he truly believe his forefathers are not Yoruba.

santaclaws:


And since he returned to Benin, you started giving your traditional rulers the title of "Oba" which is a Yoruba word... Right? 😏

Most of you know your history is fabricated but you won't admit the truth.
