So Oni of ife is Bini?

Read my posts from years ago. I cannot spoon feed you guys every time.

In essence I have as much stake in Yorubaland as any other genuine Yoruba person. I am not even talking of immigrants from Middle belt.

Iamgrey5:
I don't care about your sub story

Just stay out of Yoruba issues.

Unless you can also get people like Ooni of Ife to back out of Yoruba issue.

If you cannot, you also have no chance of getting me out of Yoruba issues.

By the way trying to impress with education is childish. People with earliest contact with Europeans and educated over 500 years ago.

That Nigeria has the singular misfortune of producing the worst, most divisive and corrupt politicians since 1914 till date means one cannot use political positions to impress me.

I do not even tell people of my relatives currently in political positions. Nothing to be proud of.

They have all failed Nigeria woefully.

Iamgrey5:
I am from Ibadan

I have no history with middle belt.

They all say they are from Yorubaland. All those immigrants from middle belt. I know them.

Iamgrey5:
Going through history of Awolowo?

Who do you think Nominated the first woman to be a senator in Nigeria?

You must think you are talking to one of those people on Nairaland?

Actually Awolowo's intolerance and effect on my relatives. We do not lick balls or worship godfathers in my part of Yorubaland. They are all our subjects no matter their political position.

Iamgrey5:
@ emboldened

We have nothing in common with those people that think too much of themselves

A kingdom of three to four local government areas

Lol. A commoner (possibly from Middle Belt originally) quoting a man obsessed with Benin.

Iamgrey5:
Tell us who your family is in Yoruba land?

You are not even known in your village talkless of Edo state

Who the hell are you in Yoruba land ?

Go through my old thread. Including history with SLK and Awolowo political crisis and the mess resulting from it.

I have written all here b4. I am not going to do roforofo with a person of your low status.

Iamgrey5:
My family is well known in Yoruba land

My grand ma is the first educated Iyalode of Ibadan and first woman to be a senator in Nigeria

I am from a family of balogun in ibadan that chased your ancestors out of Ekiti and Ondo.

Now who the hell are you in your Five local government area of Bini people ?

So you are a mere commoner and from a family of chief of a minor monarch in Yorubaland.

No wonder. I am not even your mate in Yorubaland. If you are a baby on Nairaland, go through my posts over the years on NL. I have fully narrated my pedigree in Yorubaland.

Otherwise you would think I am just making it up now.

Iamgrey5:
@ what nonsense did Olugbo exposed?

Please stop putting mouth in Yoruba's affairs, we have nothing to do with you people or your five local government areas.

We see you all as igbos and don't really care about your existence.

Put your mouth out of Anything that has to do with Southwest or Yorubas.

What is your pedigree in Yorubaland? Who are you in Yorubaland? I challenge you.

I should be telling you to shoosh over Yoruba matter.

Their madness don start again. Who let these people out of Aro?

I rank highly only the following Obas after Oba of Benin: Oba of Lagos, Olowo of Owo, Olu of Warri, Obi of Agbor and Obi of Onitsha,

I respect Alaafin for representing a former Empire just like Benin and the Awujale for respecting himself and not talking anyhow. Then the Olugbo for exposing liars on Oduduwa.

oz4real83:
If not that the Nigerian international passport is very useless and can only take u to hungry and meaningless countries, these are interesting places to see the beauty of nature. I envy the citizens of those countries whose passports are powerful enough to visit anywhere in the world and at anytime without the stress of queuing at embassies for visas that have 99% chance of not being granted

Bruv these places are not nearly as beautiful when you visit as in pictures. You have to visit at the right time. Some are extremely cold over 6 months of the year and others extremely hot.

Travelling is also very expensive. You need more than just a passport.

Transportation and hotel accommodation within countries cost a lot.

Of course you get to see many places over the course of many years.

Nigeria league is not developed Like other leagues in Africa, poor earnings for players .

This is no excuse. Barca and Real Madrid were always richer than Enugu Rangers, Bendel Insurance, Shooting Stars, Pillars and others.

But we passionately supported our local clubs.

Fact is choice. Given a choice, the average Nigerian will choose something imported. It has led to local production falling. It reduces strength of local currency too as we need more dollars to pay for import.

So football is just part of general trend. If we had easy access to foreign league matches 40 or 30 years ago, same would have happened.

With this mindset, these old men have no intention of listening to the youth or give youth a chance. Tinubu will be almost 70 in 2023.

Yet Merkel of sane age bracket is getting set for retirement.

Nigeria will just walk gradually into apocalypse and these thieves forming leaders will become super villains of history like Mobutu Seseseko.

Bkayyy:
Bini people and lies sha.
It is quite interesting that Gov. Godwin Obaseki's great great great grandfather came from "Anioma" that was coined and created by Chief Dennis Osadebay in 1951.
You people lie alot, very soon you people will bring out one prince's name and say that he was the one that migrated from Bini and created Anioma since you people are always looking for your princes

Ok, tell about your own pre-Osadebey history of Obaseki family.

Because his ancestor's name is known, how they acquired the name Obaseki is known. So tell us "your authentic" version sir. And let the world hear it.

MelesZenawi:
Clear and apt.

Areafada2 is a Yoruba Bini man that will twist history trying to fix others in inorder to cause frictions...

Lol. When did Easn people leave Benin area?

Which date was the grand Royal conference in BENIN when Esan dukes were crowned in Benin?

These dates are crucial in knowing how much of Benin culture Esan people left with.

Now, Esan people left largely during the reign of Oba Ewuare I who reigned from 1440 to 1473 while prince Ginuwa left Benin to Ode itsekhiri in 1480.
This is about 300 years after omonoyan, son of Izoduwa returned from Ife.

The Urhobos left a bit earlier around the reign of Oba Egbeka, four obas before Ewuare 1.

Benin was never under Yoruba control. Omonoyan despite his privileges as prince turned Oba, the elaborate, complex and strict structure of the monarchy, the overbearing aristocracy and Evian opposition frustrated Omonoyan and soon left to form Oyo monarchy.

What you see as Yoruba culture in Benin is a result of the empire. Influx of various people. Let me remind people that Gov. Obaseki's great great great grand father came from Anioma.

In my part of Edo state, the Yoruboid culture there would be very strange and alien to an average Benin person till today. And it has been around for over 200 years. It was brought in from Eastern Yorubaland. If I didn't know I would say it's due to Yorubaland colonisers. But I know how we came to be how and where we are.

It makes Omonoyan/oranmiyan story from Benin view very plausible. Because our story shows some similarities. Luckily ours is recent enough to have been kept alive.

loopman:
Fact

Yar’Adua is death and the other hat wearing clown tyrant that can only exert his power on a young boy is in Otuoke

True. But both Yar'Adua and GEJ have their kids complete. Maybe El Rufai should think of how he would feel if Yar'Adua family or GEJ remind him of that.

Unless of course that was his sacrifice for power.
Arrogant and uncouth people need to be fought in the mud at times. Gentleness is stupidity in their warped mind

Disgracing womanhood up an down..
Actress my foot.

Sadly too many are like that. Whether they openly admit it or not.

If you are a woman with more self esteem that have more than just your body to offer, kudos to you. You are in an exclusive class nowadays.

Na wa o.

Madibah:
What's the advantage of lights in WC.
Total bullshit

A reptile may be lurking around inside. Lalasticlala's friends are everywhere these days.

My only question how long will it last around so much flushing and splashing water.

I guess the makers thought of that already.

Awol1:
Plz remove Elrufai!

Any ticket he's on would be viewed as Boko Haramic.

Elrufai right now, will never win any national election.

So in Nigeria an ex convict like Kalu can even be touted as presidential candidate and we all take it as totally normal. Wow!

Fayemi is the only fresh candidate I see there.

Very funny that Ribadu and Fashola are not even mentioned. It shows that corruption and impunity is what Nigerians now accept.

Sadly, this train took him to a destination he didn't wish to go yet.

RIP to him, quick recovery to his wife.

Good evening Nairalanders.

Please i need an advice on the next step i should take in life. I am a guy, 25 years of age and still living with my parents, though i am not jobless but recently my bank account just hit one million and 200 thousand naira.

So my parents are advising to buy a landed property in my home town that will take about 900 to 1 million naira. But the thing is that i am 25 and i feel at my age i should no longer be staying with my parents, so i want to rent a flat and furniture it to my taste, i feel it is time to move on, i need my freedom to finally face life like a man.

So my question is, should i purchase a landed property at 25 and continue living with my parents or pack out and start my Adult life. Note: i am not jobless".

Ask yourself this: if you were living on your own for the past 3 years could you have saved 1.2m? Could you save even more by staying longer?

Is moving out to be able you flex more girls and spend recklessly? What's your plan for the future? Do you have a table girlfriend and when do you plan to marry? Will responsibilities towards family members sooner or later fall on you?

Are you a business minded person? Is the land/eventual house in your hometown just for prestige or it will give a good ROI? How stable and secure is/are even your current income stream (s)?

When you have answered all these, you can then begin to see the way forward more clearly. Nobody can just tell you yes or no. Only you know the circumstances.

Your parents thus advised you because land is a "secure" investment. Treasury bills are also secure and more liquid in case you do need the money. Explore your options.

cooljude:
Lies! Bantu originated from a region between West Africa and Cameroon.

We are indigenous Africans forget those useless stories that we came from the middle East.

Even the whites say humans came out of Africa. But dudu liking to be inferior must import himself from the Middle East.

Let a Chinese religion like Buddhism become popular in Africa one day, black man will find away to in his fantasy snuggle his ancestors from Wuhan Province.

Just to feel among black man will even accept that Covid-19 first originated in his Wuhan ancestors. But became dormant when or blacks left or were wiped out by ancient Covid-19.

With many blacks coming back to China in last 30 years, the virus again found the the original host causing resurgence. Before mutating and spreading to Chinese and other races.

It may sound farfetched, but with a little money dangled, dudu will accept any rubbish.

I'm a human Anatomist so I understand this perfectly thanks.

You are welcome. Then put your scientific knowledge to good use sir.

@ Maduxs

I didn't see the pic before you took it down.

But if it's the regular albinism, then it probably oculo-cutaneous albinism (OCA) affecting skin, hair and eyes.

As against Ocular albinism (OA) normally affecting eyes. OA is typically X-linked. Meaning it's passed from the mother BUT affects sons only. Daughters will only be carriers but can pass it on to their kids. Boys only suffer it.

Important to get the genetics and phenotype aspects out of the way first.

That way you can enlighten some people in your family and get a few of them on your side if possible.

OCA has an autosomal recessive pattern. That is both couple have to have the faulty gene. Even at that their kid has a 25% chance of being an albino. 50% chance of being a carrier of the faulty gene (without being an albino physically) and 25% chance of nothing at all concerning albinism.

Unless several people in the family, down the line, decide to marry albinos, the worry of you introducing albinism into the family is exaggerated. Or your children who may be carriers also go on to marry carriers or albinos.

There are many things people carry in them quietly that are far worse. We don't see Parkinson's disease trait in people, most infectious diseases, etc.

If you are happy with her, do not let her skin or hair colour deter you. HML in advance.

MelesZenawi:
You have one problem and that's what I don't like about you. You must find a way to slip others into this Bini/Yoruba history.

So your problem is that I mentioned an Igbo person. That the story is true as told by Ikemba himself and relevant in this context doesn't enter your coconut head.

Na wa for you o.

You that carry matter of other tribes on your head like gala and lacasera don't want anybody to mention Igbo. You must be Nairaland resident comedian. Mr Ibu of Nairaland.

Openbusiness:
Mtchwwwwwww! They should stop calling themselves United Nations because nothing about them is united.

oglalasioux:
Very educative post. Thanks, OP.

I'm particularly interested in the diversity of dialects in all languages. In Ebonyi State, for instance, there are more Igbo dialects than in all the Igbo speaking states.

I have come to the conclusion (speculative) that dialects suggest that other tribes joined the original tribes back in time and developed the dialects based on their original mother tongues.

The Ngbo people of Ebonyi State, in my opinion, are originally Idomas. Their dialect of the Igbo language is a pure intonation of the Idoma language. This is also true of the Nsukka people of Enugu state who speak Igbo with Igala intonation.

Most people don't know that the English language and German are 90% identical. Languages and dialects are pointers that the world is shaped by evolution.

English is in fact a Germanic Language. Just like Frisian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, etc.

Movement of people create new dialects that over time can evolve into different but related languages in some cases.

It was very bad. It scared Africa till today.
