angelawoko:


I want to assume this is Igbo. Forgive me, but I only speak Hausa and Yoruba, so i cant say I understand i bit of what you have said. Thanks for your time (and mb).

You asked for language. You did not specifically say "Yoruba language." The commentator that you had replied to was right to translate it into Igbo or any other language on earth, not only Nigerian.

APC will win again in Edo State gubernatorial election. You heard it here first. Forget what some Nairalanders here type everyday.

prissyluv:

ok. Then tell me the meaning of 'what God has destined' in bini pls.

Again help with this. Onyemaechi,an Igbo name means 'who knows tomorrow',can you help with the bini version of it? Thanks and sorry for the numerous questions

Who knows tomorrow == IMARENAKHUE. Unlike Onyemaechi and Yoruba TA NI MOLA, the Edo version is not a question but an assertion. It actually says I DO NOT KNOW TOMORROW.

honeric01:


Osawe - What God says

I am not so sure about that translation, honeric01.
WE, as in English WELL, will give OSAWE as GOD SAYS.

However, WE in OSAWE is pronounced as WAY. OSAWAY.
The translation becomes totally different.
Actually, the full name is ENOSAYAWEMWEN.

I think OSAWE could be
(1) God made me popular
(2)God made me as as example
(3) God announced me
(4) God made me famous, known

I think I am right. Maybe. Lol. Edo logho gbe , otemwen.

tpiar:
Is there some stigma attached to the word destiny in Benin?

Explain

Come on! We are talking of teenagers in 2016, who use mostly abbreviations and wrong spellings to feel funky.

But she was writing to a Yunusa. Unless he is a funky malam. Hehe

A 13 year old will write this type of essay just because of love. A Jss3 student writing 'baldadash'


I smell lies

I cannot say but she is Urhobo. If she put words on paper, it is possible. Urhobo person fit talk for one hour non-stop.

tpiar:


because they are mixed populations.

yours was a wrong analogy btw.

Creole also mixed with Yoruba

codemaniacs:


Then why are yorubas more than Bini people.
Why do they have more states than Bini people.
Why do Bini people have Yoruba names

Dumbest, why are Brazilians more than Portuguese?
Why are Americans more than the English?

Some people want to die on top of Wuraola Otiti's marriage to the Ooni . They however do not know the meaning of her Edo name. If only they knew. Our ancestors are wise.

Agbon hia rue evbin no se oghomwen na , sokpan oghomwen OTITI!

VirginFinder:


Answer my question, coward!
All Binis have is Oba!!
Shame!!!

Yes!
Same Oba who is above any Yoruba personality.

gentleheart1:


Can yoy please stop, the bini kingom streched all the way to Lagos so what makes Ogun different?

You Yorubas have come with your complex problem again.

No one wrote about a medieval "Yoruba " city in a foreign newspaper. My "sophisticated " neighbours cannot bear it. They do not understand that they have no recognized history to be told by others. They even made Oyo into an Empire. Oyo empire indeed. Oyoyo empire nko?

SirAfoy1:
i don't still know the reason why you are comparing Benin which is not more than Igbomina subgroup of Yoruba to entire Yoruba.
you said you conquered Yoruba, you are just in a single state
word Oba is yours, most of the streets in Yoruba land are using it
you used to own Lagos, but when British arrived they met Oba KOSOKO AND AKINTOYE
if you have great wall, what of Opa oranmiyan, esie museum, sugbo eredo and many in Ife.
stop all these rubbish

Dumb and dumber , there was no Yoruba before the 19th century. Yes , some Yoruba sub groups were under Benin Empire rule.

Yoruba historians should note that it was a conquered territory that gave the Romans Christianity.

codemaniacs:


Benin kingdom was destroyed while china's great wall wasn't destroyed.

The Great Wall of China also fell into ruins but was rebuilt for tourism.

Prof Nwabueze did not say anything like this. No Nigerian leader has solved Nigeria's problems. If anything, Buhari is the only one that knew what he was coming into power to do.

I been watch the Arsenal game but na for BBC I read say Ozil play for dat. Please, is it true?

Gaddafithe2nd:

You make laugh. Aside from Festac 77, whom knows your Queen Idia. Many people don't even know that are mask was used. Historians don't recognised her. Let me help you with the most powerful Queen in Africa.
http://answersafrica.com/5-powerful-african-queens-history.html
Is just like you bragging I was once a rich man who cares to know that. Queen Idia won't get a draw.
Have you even got her stolen mask back.
We they talk about Ethnic group shaking Nigeria and the world Benin self they shook head.

I know one important thing that you do not have. Such is life, bro.

Gaddafithe2nd:

How has that helped your community?
Gutter talk. Since Festac 77, who knows about your F*cking queen Idia. Is than an achievement?
When it comes to traditional festival that pulls weight, talk about Osun festival, Eyo festival. These are the kind of festival that are popular. Festac 77 my foot.

Bro, do not change it. You mentioned Queen Amina and Moremi. With just the FESTAC MASK alone, Queen Idia is way more popular than any Queen in Nigerian history. Osun Festival is not a person.

Gaddafithe2nd:

You are not well trained, see how stupid you are. Is your Queen Idia that witch as popular as Queen Amina or Moremi Ajansoro. Go to Unilag, OAU you see how hostels were name after the great Queens.
You said we steal and Bleep. The greatest armed robber in the history of Nigeria is Lawrence Anini a Benin man. The people with the highest rate of prostitution are Benin girls. I don't like to abuse but you have stepped on cobras tail.

FESTAC mask is Queen Idia. Beat that.

VirginFinder:


Hardly will Binis bear children and not give them at least one Yoruba name. And of course, the names cannot have Bini meaning because they are Yoruba names lending credence to the fact that many Binis do understand Yoruba somehow.

Bini and Yoruba account are the same just that Binis claim Oduduwa is Ekaladerhan from Benin. Whereas, Oduduwa is from the middle east.
Go and look for your Ekaladerhan elsewhere.
Oduduwa is NOT Ekaladerhan!

Binis with Yoruba names do not make up to one percent of the population. Do not be deceived. Among almost twenty children from my father, I am the only one that has a Yoruba name due to my being a twin and my mother from Usen.
Oyegun= Oyegunmwendia. For a sickly child or an Abiku.

tpiar:




Eghoin like agoin?

Eghoin means STRANGER ALIEN FOREIGNER
EGHIAN is ENEMY. The Oba's enemy is called OGHION OBA.
He was saying that Yorubas are strangers to the Edos.

Aigbofa:


I am curious to know why until 1930s or there about the heads of dead Benin kings were buried in Ife. This is verifiable fact.

Aigbofa, is there an ORUN ILA ORANGUN in Ife? Is there an ORUN ALAAFIN OYO in Ife? Is there any other ORUN of Oduduwa's lineage in Ife? Why Ile- Ibinu's only? Oba of Benin head is different from that of other Oduduwa's children?
The Ooni has Ada,a Benin symbol of authority, as other EASTERN Yoruba kings and Oba of Lagos. Is the reason not obvious?
Without a doubt, Oba of Benin is the most famous and important of Oduduwa's lineage. It could only have been so because Benin was the origin of Oduduwa.

back2sender:

My Sista you dey here. I hail ooo.
Our Oba of Benin knows he carries the Edo nations both far and near on His head hence cannot let His gaurds down. Our Oba speak once and dont talk and laugh any how like we are seeing now. Last i forget he does not travel. I just did a bet of 50k with a colleague that the Oba of Benin will not carry out thank you visits to anyone after the coronation . I know where i come from.
I also tell my colleague we no send any body as we edolites are enough to Witness the coronation

The new Oba can go on tour if he desires. Oba Erediauwa did.
Withdraw from your bet.

A more deserved and respectful honour than the numerous nebulous honours being conferred on the Ineffectual Buffoon/Clueless, everywhere.

Very very very very S T U P I D thread

How about CHUKWU and OLORUN?

daretodiffer:


Are you a virgin?

If you are, no wahala

niyi123:

YES AND YOU

Hehe. Thought you were looking for a mature sometime ago? Okay, to dis-virgin.

Where did the Emir say that APC should stop deceiving Nigerians?

peppyluv02:
You mean your daughters sell themselves....
With the stories flying round about this lady,I must give the Ooni kudos for still sticking to her...A woman who is still legally married to a Lebanese ...now,her third marriage....smh

All that you wrote did not dispute the fact that we we DO NOT sell our daughters.

theshaderoom:
That is how benins do it. I think you will sit on the groom's lap seven times or so... not sure. Since the ooni is not there, there will be a proxy.

This OP is cultured shocked or just silly

Thank you for the above. They actually hand her over to the father of the groom and never to the groom himself .

rexbuton:


bride price in benin is N23.. If u are really bini u should know that

No, sir. Ikpen iweva vbe igbe remains twenty-five naira.

martineinstein:
That's expensive; in my part(Edo), it's 50 kobo or#1

Which part is that? .
