Bro, there is no historical link between Benin empire and ife village (unless ife was once a province of Benin) all the issues story is totally made up, the Edo side and the Yoruba side. Benin empire has records which date back to 600 years ago, no mention of ife and no mention of yoruba, just Benin empire. The word Yoruba came to existence not so long ago. I think in the late 18th century. You won't get any truth by asking questions to the random delusional fool on nairaland. Some of these people on nairaland are mentally ill. So just go to school, travel to Europe and visit it's museums, they have all our actual records. Also learn how to properly reason, that is lacking among many Nigerians. This atigba of a person is obviously suffering from mental illness. And you are expecting him to tell you who you are ? This makes me wonder who is crazier among both of you.

The binis are Yoruba migrant from Ife to Igodomigodo around 12 century AD.

You opened your account on nairaland today

I guess you are one of those Yorubas living in Benin who are strongly to create new identity for themselves. It won't work, is too late.

You are from Ille Ife

Uhe nonbioba

Your king are from Ife and you are probably a descendant of those who migrated with Orominyan from Ife then.

Go take take your medication

Tmb78:
oh,never heard of that before. Pls, which tribe or place is that?

Igodomigodo

Present day Edo State

Tmb78:
Are you from Benin yourself?

I'm Idu

Sarah20A:
am from Benin and by God grace am planning a dna ancestral test in the nearest future.i would like to know the real truth between the yorubas and the Benins,since my father's family claimed to be one of the chiefs that escorted the prince to ile ife and escorted his son back to Benin if that story was true they would have definitely married yoruba women and brought them to Benin and I would like to uncover the truth through DNA test because in my father's village they speak like the yorubas and the Benins mixed together but they are recognised as binis

A significant percentage of Benin are Yorubas from Ife.

You are one of them.

ghostwon:
Stop misquoting the data. There is no difference between "Bini" and "Esan". It is the same people from the same precolonial country called Benin empire. Just two different cities of the same precolonial African country.

Esan and bini are not the same people, the binis are Yorubas from Ife for the most part.

JuanDeDios:
No. This proves to those who think the Esan came from Bini that they have it wrong. We know that the "second wave" of migration happened during the time of Oba Ewuare when many people left Bini and went to Esan. We know that when they got to Esan, they met people, a fiercely republican people, there. How did those people get there? Lazy "historians" have always filled in the gap by telling us that there was an earlier wave of migration from Bini, the "first wave". Nobody has proof of this - it's just an assumption that they must have come from Bini because where else could they have come from? Now, this finding proves that wasn't the case; it proves that the Esan are likely older than the BIni.

Esan people are not from Benin, any body who claim that is ignorant or an idiot.

When I refered to Igodomigodo, I wasn't talking about Benin. Benin kingdom started around 12 century with Ife migrant, before then people have been living in Igodomigodo for thousands of years.

LibertyRep:
Good luck to the parties involved.

Lyon too shouldn't waste more time once he recovers from the shock.

Reviewing the judgement is one thing, admitting errors is another entirely.

If the same set of judges who delivers the judgement are to review it, Ihedioha's chances are slim.

They falsified certificate, they should not only be disqualified, the deputy should be arrested and persecuted.

The former minister of finance, resigned from her position and ran to exile due to NYSC certificate falsification.

Lyon and his deputy are not above the law

The Esans are ancient people of Igodomigodo kingdom

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the 2019 governorship election in Bayelsa State, Senator Duoye Diri, has been sworn in as governor.

His swearing-in comes a day after the Supreme Court sacked the former governor-elect of Bayelsa State, David Lyon, and his Deputy, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremieoyo.

Hours before the swearing-in, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially declared him as the winner of the governorship election in the state.

How true

armyofone:
Yet what Clinton was impeached for was nothing
compared to the one we recently witnessed.

Times have changed!

Trump impeachment is a witch hunt

The impeachment will be remembered in history as a partisan witch hunt, like Robert Muler witch hunt

armyofone:
I don't know which is worst or warranted impeachment:

What Clinton did or what Trump did.

Trump has impeachment to his name forever just as Clinton.

The most partisan impeachment in US history

4 more years

Another witch hunt busted

Dartilo:
Dis Atigba guy is juz here to make noise no balogun family in Edo pls

Quiet

What is the meaning of Benin in your language anyway

Dartilo:
Dis Atigba guy is juz here to make noise no balogun family in Edo pls

Quiet

MelesZenawi:
And same people are edos/binis like you. So all might still be same.

Balogun has no meaning in my language

I know all the families that migrated from Ife to our land and I know their greetings.

A stranger cannot be telling us our own history all because of supremacy. Fabricating and disturting our history is the reason why I took my time to write here sometimes. Some few persons in our land who their ancestors came from Ife are trying all they can to destroy our history and link our entire population to Yorubas. Meanwhile they are just 2%.

One of the reason I like the Europeans, they document their history no matter who it favours. Germans killed millions of Jews, they document it. The Spanish killed all the black slaves after slave trade, they document it. Same with all other European countries. They are not proud of what happened, they document it so that the next generation can learn from it.

Why cant we Africans do the same, why are we always trying to fabricate lies for political and ethnic supremacy.

MelesZenawi:
What kind of useless argument is all these and you still mentioning yoruba names.

Balogun is n Edo likewise a yoruba name.


Long stories cut short...

Edos are yorubas and yorubas are edos.

The people that bear Balogun in Edo traced their ancestors to Ife

MelesZenawi:
Oh thought as much. His claims aren't consistent.

Still the Op scholes should go back and include. Edos as yorubas with. Explanation and the rest.


Balogun is a yoruba and an edo name likewise olusegun, rotimi...


So you guys should harmonise the fault lines.

I am not Edo

How can I be Edo, I am IDU

Edo is a modern name

[quote author=Dartilo post=86295082][/quote]Okay

[quote author=Dartilo post=86295190][/quote]Who brought browse casting to Benin?

Dartilo:
This Atigba guy is not an Edo indigene

Yes you are right

I'm IDU, a citizen of Igodomigodo

Dartilo:
Pls tell us d name of the Portuguese explorer,because all those dat came in contact with the benins are all recorded...
What their name the Portuguese dat trace wat he brought..lolz

Where did I assert that Portugueses that meant Benin said Oduduwa browse casting was traced to Sudan?

Dartilo:
Hello pple dis guy Atigba is not Edo it is a false pretence to accept yoruba as a benin man..

Tell me your local govt and villiage and d ward number and a major politician from ur ward ...

Pls do not google asap

I will tell you my local government if you tell me yours because your not from Benin.

You couldn't even identify Balogun family

Dartilo:
Look at his spelling of Erediauwa

How many Benin history have you read?

Dartilo:
Atigba had gone to google and probably come back here to claim he is not going to answer me...

Wat do u gain claiming an ethnic group juz to bring dat ethnic down

What is your question

Dartilo:
He said if d oni dont knw his source he should as well visit d Oba to lecture him

Yes, he was talking about himself

Ugbo king is the owner of Ife, Oduduwa is from Sudan/Mecca

Everything he brought was traced by Portugueses to that region, I believed he is one of the kings who fled prophet Mohamed jihad

Dartilo:
The 36 ogiso of igodomigodo was ogiso owodo who had only one son know as Ekaladeran,upon d dubious advice by a priest he was told to sacrifice his only child(Ekaladeran) to save his pple and he was taken to ughoton forest to b excuted but d executioner pitied him and told him to run far away,he ran to a new place called ile ife(dis is a benin word meaning i ran and i escape) and he told d pple dat his father was ogiso(meaning king of d sky) that explain d reason the pple tot dat he fell from d sky,every king in Benin upon ascension to d throne must chose a new name so e change his name to izoduwa(meaning i hve chose my path of prosperity)corrupted to oduduwa,the last ogiso died without a successor..

Dis brought war in benin,everyone claiming lord ova their own domain,so d pple elected Edayi( meaning caretaker or interim govt in Edo) headed by a man called Evian d greed for power made Evian to mke his son successors and d pple oppose..

Den news came to the palace dat Ekaladeran who is now oduduwa was not executed so d pple decided to look for d legitimate heir,upon wich d oracle was consulted and oduduwa was found...

Stop writing fake story, fabricated by Erediawa

Non of our history state such, and our Ogiso Awodo was childless.

Again, we don't sacrifice humans in Igodomigodo

It is yoruba people from Ife that brought that culture to our land.

MelesZenawi:
Lwkmd.

I done laugh tire.

Stop dreaming.

I am not my brother

Dartilo:
Hve u watch d video of d king of ugbo who said and claim oduduwa was from benin,is on youtube bro

Where did Olugbo of Ugbo mentioned Oduduwa came from Benin here. I have great respect for Ugbo king who I have meant personally.

He only reference how confused Oduduwa children are, today they said they are from Benin, tomorrow, Saudi Arabia, next tomorrow Mecca. And sky

Ultimately, they dont know where their father came from. He told them to go look for their father. Listen
