This is a shame. A real shame. Yoruba and Bini that have known one another as brothers and sisters are not only different ethnic group but different races just because of suzerainty.
Look at Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo that have lived and intermarry for ages at one another's throat. The Oba that started this is dead, buried and gone. The children are fighting.
Fight as long as you want, Nigerians know you as the same.
Godforbid!.... DONT EVER IN UR LIFE CALL ME A BROTHER TO ANY Yoruba BAST*ARD
FisifunKododada: The little village sorry 'kingdom' monkey is talking of boredom. He thinks this is documentaries are for him. You already know what your mother, sisters, daughters and wife do so of course its boring. Let the rest of NL see why you lot are always making noise like you are relevant. Its because of your cry 4 help. As mothers, sisters, wives and daughters have fallen deep in LovePeddler-dom.
You will see them on the streets of Italy. Who-ring, fighting, disgracing their generation before the whole world. YET they will be here on nairaland making noise about their little village sorry 'kingdom' and insulting people who disagree with them.
You want to see how these female villagers sorry kingdomites fight in public in Italy?. See this video:
prolog2: y.a.r...I....b.....a: all talk, no substance. Prove your claim or shut the hell up. I am not reading your stupid posts. For your info, I am not the Oba. The Oba has no time to talk to mad people like you and your fake kings. So, if you want to talk to me then talk to me and stop constantly referring to the Oba. Your obsession with the Edo monarchy is bizare. Well, we all know you are crazy, don't we ? Especially that mental patient olu. Just prove your claim and stop the stupid side show.
revolt: you're an ediot sha.... I schooled u in ur stupid tales by moonlight history, you couldn't and cant dispute all my assertions ....then u change topic as usual. Go on with ur okpolokpo juju beliefs, n GTFOMF.
revolt: this ediotic buffoon!!!!!!!! I just googled ologbosere, and everything still butresses my point. Only difference is, he was hiding in the bushes for 22 months. Why am I even bantering with thus idiat sef?!;;
[[s]quote author=revolt post=65743869]Revisionists ...which 3yrs. Or did u mean 3dsys. Please rrsd about the expedition of 1897. If your Benin empire had embraced science he wouldn't hve faced the most humiliating defeat on the history of empires. 1200 men brought down an empire with only 2 deaths on the side of britain.
prolog2: For your information there were several thousand british soldiers in tht war (including, british soldiers of african decent) and the war took 3 years eventhough the british were already using th same weapons they used in ww1. Also, it is known that Benin empire gave the british a bloody knose and the hardest fight they had in the region. Man, your own ancestors gave up without a fight and even welcomed the british as saviours. so stop saying rubbish.
- The Senate President has commended the Oba of Benin for revoking curses placed on victims of human trafficking
- Saraki said the Oba's action is commended and highly decisive
- He also commended the Nigerian Immigration Service for their involvement in curbing trafficking and illegal migration in Nigeria
The Senate President Bukola Saraki has commended the Benin monarch, Oba Ewuare II, for revoking curses placed on victims of human trafficking in Edo state. Saraki in a tweet on Saturday, march 10, said the actions by the Oba is decisive and commendable.
Stating that the Oba of Benin played a key role in the roundtable organised by the Senate on illegal migration and human trafficking, Saraki said Nigeria and its people need more of the leadership role displayed by the Oba.
"It is great to hear that the Oba of Benin -- who played a key role at the Senate Roundtable on illegal migration and #HumanTrafficking -- has taken this decisive and commendable step. We need more of this."
In another tweet, the Senate President also commended the Nigerian Immigration Service for playing its part in combating human tracking across Nigeria.
He said: "It is also great to see the Nigerian Immigration Service playing its part to combat #HumanTrafficking by actively working to find those officers who aid and abet the traffickers. Giving the curse revoke order, the Oba said the governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki, had pleaded with him to help reduce the spate of human tracking the state.
The Oba of Benin also placed curses on any human trafficker who goes contrary to the state's plan or makes moves to continue in the business of trafficking humans.
Must you insult someone in your attempt to defend yourself? I can show you the screen shot of my certificate. Or do you think I will just wake up and cook a story that never existed. History was taken out of school so that generations that are new will not have any knowledge of ugly past. If you insist on your version, It's OK. I will not argue with you any further. Where were you 1984. That's when I finished from ICC 3RD East Circular Rd. I am sure, I know Benin more than you. This is where I was raised up. Do you want me to describe all the streets From ring road? Please, respect other people's opinions or information. You are the first person to refute those stories. I will make my research. Internet information are not necessarily true because it is people like you and me that put the information there.
Come on shut upp you know nothing , absolutely nothing about Benin so keep silent!!
historyworld031: I don't think I will continue talking to you for long. the subject was about Akoko-Edo and the fact thatv they are Edo, not yoruba. If you want to engage in an other debate then feel free to get out of this nairaland page.
Now just posting words out of a blog as proof ? That is one of the silliest things one can do.
1) You changed topic 2) you are using words from a blog to "prove" your new claims.
Madness.
By the way, it is this same propaganda that the yoruba tried to use in order to stop the creation of Bendel state. Digging it up and trying to use it again will do you no good.
Stop going back and forth with that enslaved irrelevant slowpoke from kogi!!
I have been following this discussion very closely and I must say that you seem to have a thing against Yorubas either that or you just aren't a fan of them.
How can you continue to insist that the yorubas are the ones forcing 'Yorubaness' over Akoko-Edo people , a people who have been in a separate region since 1963, over 54 years! Isn't that enough time for every man to chart his own destiny?
Take it or leave it, the influence of Yorubas in Akoko Edo is undeniable. The influence of ethnic majorities over surrounding ethnic minorities is inevitable, it is a fact of Life. I have met people from Biase and Abi local governments of cross river state who are not Igbo people having Igbo names.
I am from Adavi local government and even though we are in Kogi state NC Nigeria, never have we for once ever been under the Western region, yet so many Ebiras have Yoruba names, I am not joking, go to places like ihima and check for yourself. So, it would be wrong of you to keep saying, ohh The Yoruba influence seen amongst us is because of Western region, lol, were the Agenebode's not under the same western region , or the Agbors?
You are calling the Ibillo man here "Confused" while parading your own views as sacrosanct, You even said Akoko Edo has been ridden of all Yoruba influences which I personally know to be a pure lie, lol. Ogori people who are your closest neighbours in Kogi are usually trilingual in Oko, Yoruba and Ebira without leaving their towns. Is that also a case of Western region influence or simply influence of a neighbouring majority on surrounding tribes?
Let us have an objective discussion. These people are not Yorubas but pls, people are not stupid. We are even talking about ibillo, what if we start talking about Ekor and imoga that are absolutely no different from Yorubas with all their C.A.C Oke Isegun and Oke Igbala churches ?
Unless you carry that entire area and move it to another place, neighbours will always interact. as I speak to you I can tell you that nothing less that 30% of Ososo town are of Ebira origin and there are quarters there that are majority Ebira. So yes while ososo town might have been initially completely edoid, same can not be said of Ososo of now, who is to say all those Yoruba place names in Ibillo and co were not first founded by Yoruba people?
Stop dealing with history like someone looking at a landscape through a tube, who only sees only what is straight ahead in front of the open end of the pipe but incapable of seeing all the surrounding complexities.

All this rumbling and you still managed to make zero sense !!
All I got from this rubbish you typed is that you are as irrelevant has the corner you are from in kogi!
If your village in kogi choose to kiss ass that's your cross, but when it comes to Edos matter shut the fuvvck up ,your myopic views are neither needed nor wanted!!
If you were honest and not simply on a mission to impose Yorubaness on the actually non-Yoruba people of Akoko-Edo, you would not have failed to observe the inconsistency of some of your fellow Yorubas here that first started with the claim that most Akoko-Edo towns were founded by Yorubas, and when that was proven wrong they quickly shifted the goal post to the claim that they were only talking of Yoruba influence in Akoko-Edo. How on earth did you fail to see this inconsistency but saw a non-existent emotional attachment in my responses? And for you to describe the presentation of undisputable facts as emotional attachment while implicitly endorsing Your Yoruba brothers' inconsistencies and obvious fallacies here as non-emotional attachments is an evidence that words are fast losing their meanings in Nigeria just because certain people wish to impose their own identities on others. Such should be a shame in civilized climes which unfortunately Nigeria is far from.
It is indeed shocking that you saw only my denial of the phantom Yoruba influence but you were completely blind to the asinine claim by your brothers that there are Yoruba founded towns in Akoko-Edo. That alone shows that you yourself are actually guilty of the emotional attachment you accuse me of. I keep wondering why Yorubas like you believe you can know me more than I know myself as as Akoko-Edo person. After having all your lies and fabrications punctured and swept away with hard facts and simple logic from Akoko-Edo people themselves, rather than accept that you and your folks had been ignorant in the past, the next thing for you is to patronized this childish emotional outburst above. Must every tribe be forced to assume they are Yorubas? Your likes sit far away in Yorubaland and impose Yorubaness on others whose communities you have never and will never likely visit. This assumption of Yorubaness for Akoko-Edo is similar to how most Southerners assume that the Middle Belters are Hausa-Fulanis until the day they travel to the Northern parts of the country to live among and interact with the Middle Beltern tribes on a first hand basis. Please be informed that the demographic fraud called WAZOBIA which has obviously created in you the perception that only Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo exist in and own Nigeria is no longer tenable.
On the claim of Late Fred Agbaje which you now tenaciously hold onto as your only remaining lifeline in this expansionism enterprise: I thought my explanation that Akoko-Edos living in Yorubaland are fond of seeking political relevance among Yorubas by faking Yorubaness should do? If you had imbibed the broad-mindedness you seem to preach here you definitely wouldn't have stuck to the opinion of just an individual Fred Agbaje while neglecting the opinion of majority of Ibillo people themselves. Whenever Oba Akiolu, a supposed Yoruba monarch in possession of a high level of credibility conferred on him by his throne, claims that Binis founded Lagos and that he himself is a Bini descendant; how come your likes always vilify him and denounce it as an individual's opinion despite you being supposedly "broad-minded"? You did not accept Oba Akiolu's more authoritative individual position but you want us to accept Fred Agbaje's less authoritative individual opinion, right? Mountainous hypocrisy!
Mind you that unlike Late Fred Agbaje, Oba Akiolu does not live in Edo State hence can't be making those Bini descent claims in search for political relevance among Edos. In fact judging from his threat to drown Lagos resident Igbos in the Lagoon if they voted for Jimi Agbaje of PDP, is a testimonial that he has no use for political correctness, and that whatever he voices out is his sincere and genuine opinion.
Don't waste your time typing long episodes for morons ....... They are irrelevant people in our scheme of things , let them keep buying useless thrones , while we Edo's keep multiplying in greatness and prominence !!
They do not match up with us on any level, apart from churning out babies per second which is thier only achievement
