Whether he flew through the moon or not, the basis is he was found in a forest in ife and all the influences left by him were that of the Egypt! Am I to remind you how powerful these men were? These were men that could vaporised into thin air and reappear anywhere!
Have you heard about Sango, the Yoruba ruler born of Nupe's mother?

LOL!
State where I said he was an Arabian to begin with!
Bini are towing the ibo lies pathway already!
That being said! Can you provide evidence that shows all the hamites of Egypt had been wiped out and had been replaced by the Semites?
Bini lies are even cringeworthy! No wonder we can't even verify the phantom bini empire today! LOL!
Chai, Benin's historical influence pains many people o. You know a jealous person will try put you down, like a bully. grin cheesy

Benin Empire is known to educated people. Your ignorance doesn't make it less true.

A freed slave, Olaudah Equiano wrote in the 17th century in London " I'm Ibo by tribe and a citizen of Benin Kingdom". In his Autobiography. I can bet my last penny you don't read such books that might contain any truth.

Benin territory in Eastern Yorubaland is well known. I still have relatives there. But hey, Benin has moved on. We all suffer 9ja problems together today.

@Diadem, I have many of your ilk sparing with me here, even 50 of you cannot impress me.

Each of you coming with different versions of Oduwa, many say Arabic, Jewish, now u say Egyptian. Maybe North Korean or American Indian next time. Keep trying. grin grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy

Oduduwa wasn't an Arab man! He was supposed to be among the clans fleeing Egypt due to Arab attacks on the Egyptians!
Oduduwa was described as an hamite (the old egyptians) I.e, Tall and fully black and not like the Arab who are semite!
Am I supposed to remind you that the Arabs don't have diplomatic approach on their host than to visit them with attacks and to colonise them? That wasn't the case with Oduduwa!
I repeat find your bini lost bastard somewhere else!
This attack happened in which century? Then he passed all the big cities in East Africa and flew with Heli-Odua aircraft to Ife, bah? Dude, get a grip. Copying and pasting conjectures from various ethno-centrists impresses nobody. grin

All these your hogwash doesn't dispute the fact all the influences made by Oduduwa is that of the Egyptian and not bini!

Yoruba are not from Egypt though. However Oduduwa was! He was described as someone knowledgeable, aristocratic and powerful! All these were the reason he was made a ruler and all the influences he left behind could be linked to those in Egypt!
Yeah, we have culture and all but that doesn't negate the fact that oduduwa also influenced some of it! That's our heritage and we are proud of it! Hence, no bini man was made king in Yorubaland! Find your bastard somewhere else!
Oh, Ododuwa is no more Arabic but Egyptian. You prefer your Egyptian bastard instead of local one? Hahahaha.

First, you lack historical perspective of Egypt & Ododuwa.

Do you even know Egyptian Kingdoms & dynasties? Which King started what dynasty? And when? I know you don't.

No, don't go googling it up because anybody can write any rubbish online. grin cheesy

Ododuwa lived in the 12th century AD. That was during Abbasid era. Long long after Egyptian Pharaonic dynasty ended.

Even the foreign Greek/Macedonian one ended in 30BC. Actual indigenous dynasty ended 300 years earlier.

By 12th century, all vestiges of Pharaoh dynasty had been lost.

How did Ododuwa now come into a small village (Ife) mythically from Egypt under Abbasid Muslim Caliphs with Pharaonic pomp & regalia? Over 12 centuries later? shocked shocked

Pride is a very funny thing. It prevents people from re-examining themselves. They put pride over probity. Your pride of being Egyptian founded on inferiority complex is pathetic. grin cheesy

Areafada2, are all those listed correlated with the Binis?
I ask again, show us evidence that Oduduwa was a bini!
If all these conjecture are your evidence, then you simple know nothing about scientific rigor or scrutiny.

Ancient history, re-enacted at ceremonies, and passed on in songs and stories as a fabric of our culture are far more reliable.

Unless you have radio-carbon dated specimens linking Ododuwa to Arabia, forget it.

These are no evidence whatsoever.

We developed our cultures right here. That royal insignia happen to bear some resemblance is no evidence whatsoever.

Ododuwa was said to come from Arabia. All these cultures you mentioned were not Arabic.

How does antiquity Egypt suddenly turn Arabic? Egypt was not Arabic until 7th century.

That's one.
My brother, I believed those Egypt theories long ago, not anymore.

What makes it impossible for Egyptians to have migrated from Emure-Ekiti, Afikpo or Gboko?

All these Jews & Egypt story somehow re-enforces our inferiority complex. That any high culture, sophistication, complex government or society couldn't have been developed by we Africans ourselves, right where we are now. That somehow, people brought mythology & others from some distant lands.

No shred of logic in it.

at one point the Benin people will say oduduwa has no connection with Benin and your own version is even hilarious, all I know is that your people are trying to rewrite your story is good for you anyway.......I still maintain my stand, Benin should stop using OBA because it is purely from Yoruba language.


That shows your historical shallowness.

The first Ogiso of Igodomigodo (old name of Edo/Benin) was Oba-godo, by about 40BC. Among other titles.

There is also poor education system in 9ja that gives very shallow education. Hence the comments some make here lack depth & analysis.

Benin, Yoruba, Igbo, Fon, Ewe, etc are East Kwa/Volta-Benue branch of Niger-Congo language family. Simple philology. No, I'm no philologist or classicist or linguist per se.

In a place with quality education, amidst dissecting bodies, clinics etc, I had enough motivation gain an arts qualification alongside: philosophy, ethics, theology, languages and others covered.

Oba in Edo & Yoruba, and Obi in Igbo is co-incidence. Though in the distant past, Niger-Congo languages come from a proto language with certain words preserved.

Amen in all three languages are similar too: Ise, ase, ise!

What has the elites in northern Nigeria been doing with the wealth they embezzled from Niger delta



Last week the governor of Kano built a monumemental mosque in Jigawa whereas Jigawa don't have a school to rival that mosque in structure.

SMH for this northerners
Please don't use your own standards to judge those in the North. Most have a different orientation. Worldly progress is far inferior to religious zeal to them. The elite there educate their kids in the best schools home and abroad. That way, they can keep ruling.

The only problem is that they ought to be on their own and develop at their own pace.

If not as a different country, then certainly as a region with sweeping autonomy (that other regions should have too).

That way, people can develop at a pace that suits them.

Sadly, you're right Sir.

Problem with some people is that no matter how much you help, they are never satisfied. They think you have a lot more to throw away.
If they think harming you is their only chance to escape poverty, they will do it.

Most likely they didn't complete or even do the marriage. If they did, he would have mentioned it.

Millions of couple that go by the title "husband & wife" are not actually married.

People who cannot even pay house rent are very unlikely to afford the expensive marriage ceremony that the family now insist on even in death.

That is it.

That would be something indigenous. Along side English as official language. By now, Europeans would be coming to learn pidgin in 9ja. A country of 200 million is no joke.

Even great-grand mothers in the village speak pidgin.

Many teachers struggle communicating their subject/knowledge in English, native language or pidgin would be more comfortable for them.

Exactly Bro, you can't know English language like the real English men. To show that English is a crazy language which changes with time. For example, like the word "Brethren" English scholars will tell you it is an archaic English word but it is permissible in religious gathering.

The same English language that most of the words in it were borrowed from French, Greek, Latin and Arabic, now turned to one of the most used language in communication in the world.
It would be nice if all English people really knew English language as you said. I have been left scratching my head reading the gbagaun-loaded English written by some monolingual British born & bred people.

Even with my "cut & nail" English, I shudder.
One day I got an official letter from the academic office of an elite UK university. I was in shock to see that literally every line was screaming with gbagaun.

Is that the answer to the question?

Typical Murray Bruce. Playing to the gallery to get attention from his #PDPHouseOfHunger crew

Deflecting from the question by attacking the person that asked the question

It is a simple question!!

By the way, Why would a 60 year old man who is a senator be criticizing the President on the structure of his cabinet when he is a grand father himself?

The fact is this- Ben Murray Bruce is only a few years younger than PMB.

Is he implying that there are no younger , qualified candidates in his constituency?
Well, the idea of senate/senators was to get elderly experienced gentlemen to help rule the Kingdom, later republic, later still empire of Rome.

Senator comes from the word senex or elderly man/old man in Latin. Exactly people of Bruce's age were meant for it, due to experience.
We cannot say we're copying American one without understanding how it came about.

I guess copying what we don't know or understand is part of our problem. Maybe we should device our own things that we understand.
