Samyj247:why did ronaldo leave Madrid or man u? How many league games did he win in Madrid?. So because messi decides to stay in a club that helped him means he's not a better player? You don't even know messi is the highest Argentina goal scorer ever |
Jokerman:what makes maradona the best player? |
Jokerman:so who's the best Argentina player and highest goal scorer? |

Islam is synonymous with backwardness |
You claim Benin were under Yoruba but most Yoruba speaking villages were under Benin and paid homage to us, the oba of Lagos can confirm it for you. No foreign historians even have records of this fathom Oyo empire. These people are really deluded. If it wasn't the British that helped you people, you would have still been slaves to fulani. They even took ilonrin without a fight. Lol cowards claiming benin glory |
pained Yoruba wailer writing epistle just to cover his tears.Oyo or ife empires remain an empire in deluded Yoruba minds. |
Two black beauties |
Me I'm from the south south, western Niger Delta. My dad is delta and mom from Edo state, if PDP present a northern candidate in 2023, they will win south south States with over 80%. So the best bet for southern unity is to provide Igbo man. If not then hausa for another 8 years |
Benin |
I've seen many people that want a northern president in 2023 mostly by south easterners. Do you people really want another Fulani man?. In my opinion APC and PDP should cede presidency to Igbo and let them produce the president since it is the only fair thing to do. |
mansakhalifa:oga nobody owe us anything, power is taken and not given. Chinese people were the joke on political and development matters till they started working. They didn't complained they work and now they will soon overtake USA as the most powerful nation. Even if we praise our self from today till next 100 years, it won't change the fact that we are the most backward in all aspect of life. Let's stop sugarcoating things and embrace the hard truth |

40) Real Yorubas are from dahomey while others from the north, never was an Empire in any time of West Africa history. (41) Language is a legitimate tool for constructing history and all the names associated with Oduduwa have deeper roots in Edo language than in the Yoruba. The Arabs or the Yoruba, do not have words like ‘Uhe’ (the sacred name for Edo and Ile-Ife, or words ending with ‘duwa,’ ‘noyan’ or ‘miyan,’ which are typical Edo vowels. ‘Uhe’ is perhaps the most powerful and revealing of all the Edo names associated with Ile-Ife because depending on how it is pronounced, it could refer to something sacred or taboo (such as Virgin or Virginity or Vagina), interpreted as innocence, source, birth canal. (42) There isn’t and wasn’t any Yoruba Kingdom, Lagos kingdom but there was a Benin Kingdom (43) "Eko" in Uneme Anegbette (Imiava) dialect means a Settle. And Eko is the indigenous name of Lagos. It was in 1974 that approval was granted Dahomey by Oba Akenzua II to change the name of the country to Republic of Benin. This shows that Benin Empire stretched beyond the entire Yorubaland!. why did Republic of Benin go to yoruba being that they are closer? definitely if there really was an empire as they claim stretch to togo. (44) YORUBA NEVER HAD ANY CIVILIZATION, BUILT ANY MONUMENT OR ANY WORLD SITE THAT TELLS OF AN EMPIRE OR GREAT KINGDOM LIKE BENIN. An Empire is always self evidence (45) BENIN AND YORUBA ARE NOT SAME in Origin (46) YORUBA WAS NEVER AN ETHNIC RACE!!!!!! PRE-BRITISH HISTORY OF NIGERIA I will leave the Yoruba to defend themselves about questions origins of the name "Yoruba." As far as Usman is concerned, that name was an imperial donation from the North. I am intrigued by Usman’s argument on this score. Note his words well. He says, The fact is that, the earliest record we have of the use of the very name "Yoruba" was in the Hausa-Fulani language and it seems to have applied to the people of the Alafinate of Oyo. This came from the writings of the seventeenth century Katsina scholar, Dan Masani (1595-1667), who wrote a book on Muslim scholars of the 'Yarriba.' But it was from a book of the Sarkin Musulmi Bello, written in the early nineteenth century, that the name became more widely used. The Bishop Ajayi Crowther, the Reverend Samuel Johnson, and his brother Obadiah Johnson, among others, came, in the nineteenth century, to widely spread this Hausa name to the people who now bear it, in their writings. Usman’s proof that the name "Yoruba" is an "Hausa name and It is so, the earliest record we have of the use of the very name 'Yoruba' was in the Hausa-Fulani language. (47) ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD YORUBA (Yoruba) is revealed in the 19th Century.: The word 'Yoruba' was first recorded in reference to the Oyo people only, in a treatise written by the 16th-century Songhai scholar Ahmed Baba. It was popularized by Hausa usage and ethnography written in Arabic and Ajami during the 19th century, in origin referring to the Oyo exclusively. The extension of the term YORUBA to all speakers of dialects related to the language of the Oyo (in modern terminology North-West Yoruba) dates to the second half of the 19th century. It is due to the influence of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first Anglican bishop in Nigeria. Crowther was himself a Yoruba and compiled the first Yoruba dictionary as well as introducing a standard for Yoruba orthography.It's like classifying all of Northern Nigeria as Hausa. The presence of yoruba inflence in most places today claimed as yorubaland can be traced back to the propaganda nature of crowther. (48) Do you believe ODUDUWA is the ancestral father of the Yoruba people? Many Yoruba scholars claim oduduwa fell from the sky to Yoruba land. Where actually did he land? , Any sign ?. Others say he came from the east, ok, did he meet people in the so called Yoruba land? If yes, then how can oduduwa now be their ancestral father? (49) Does Yoruba have any historic monument like the pyramid structures in Old Benin, Great Benin Moat, Zimbabwe and Timbuktu in Mali? Any sign of an empire in the region as claimed do Oyo?(not talking about clay molded or primitive bronze artifacts many claim dating back to 10BC), or the story of slave raiding westward, east ward or northward. I mean physical structures that tell of an ancient civilization?.Though the two most relevant structures in Oyo-lle, the Alaafin palace and his village market as claimed by Yoruba Historians ? (50) When and where was Yoruba presence first felt in West African history? Why no reflection of Yoruba in many ancient maps of West Africa? (51) Was Yoruba territory in British pre- Nigeria creation say 1600-1900, same with, 1914 and again in 1960 to 1967? What expanded it and why? Were there aborigines in those territories say owo, kwara, ondo and Lagos before their presence during the British colonial period? If there were aborigines, then who were they? .¨^view bellow map carefully and never mind other maps spread accross the internet designed by photoshop * (52) THIS BOOK EXTRACT SHOWS WHERE THE WHOLE ROBBING AND FALSE CLAIMING OF GREAT BENIN KINGDOM LAND, TRADITIONAL INSTITUTION, AND NIGERIA CONTROL OF EDO NATION OIL WELL BEGAN TO FALL INTO UNMERITED INDIVIDUALS AND CLANS HANDS. SOME OF THEM BEGAN TO INVENT HISTORY FROM NOTHING AS THE ANCESTORS OF ADA AND EVE...SAD!.
