Ekhaladeehan or whatever you call the barnished Ogiso prince died at Ughiton. He never made it to Ile Ife not to talk of becoming Oduduwa. TAO11 already addressed this issue so, there is no point wasting time over it again. Go to page 2 of this thread and get yourself properly educated.

And yes, Oduduwa was born at Ile Ife before sojourning out of the city. He later came back to rule the city and establish the Ooni dynasty. His grandson established the Alaafin dynasty in Oyo and the Eweka dynasty is Benin. Your Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man and no amount of fake history can change that fact.

seunmsg:
Because Ife is the source of mankind. Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, etc all lived in Ile Ife before they migrated to found different kingdoms. Benin was in chaos after the fall of the Ogiso dynasty. They needed a blue blood to restore normalcy and it was only logical that they asked the Ife royalty to send a prince to rule the city. In those days, there was no silly and egoistic war of tribes like we have today.

Beyond your questions though, you can’t argue against the fact that Oranmiyan was a Yoruba man. You also cannot argue against the fact that he was the father of Eweka. And you can’t deny the fact that the present Benin royalty are descendants of Eweka. We cannot change or rewrite history.

seunmsg:
Benin Obas till date are actually Yorubas. The present Benin royalty was founded by Eweka I, a direct son of Oranmiyan. Oranmiyan founded the great Oyo empire before returning to reign as the sixth Ooni of Ile Ife.

But two of them combined no fit give mature reason why they wan divorce ni? That one nah immaturity nah, height of it.

Igbobyblood:
you are right. A newly made moniker created a topic https://www.nairaland.com/4866877/edo-state-should-capital-south-south and the moderator moved it to front page, the op of the thread started insulting ijaw and tried to turn it into Igbo bashing thread. Both the ss and igbos started insulting the binis, guess which tribe the op didn't insult? Yoruba and the moderator that moved it is a Yoruba Man(myndd).

Till today the op of the thread is still inactive but the deed have already been done

IamAtikulate:
This is unlike Bini. The binis I know have pride and don't blame people for their woes.

The British punitive raid was what broke bini. It so pathetic how every Nigerian blames Igbo for their woes.

Unitary government that didn't last beyond 6 months? Under regionalism you guys were lumped with other tribes during the pre-unitary era, but today, you have a state that is almost purely Edoiod, what have you guys achieved?

I am really disappointed, I don't know Edo is also this lowly.

Without the war, we would have been over 20 years more advanced than we are today but we don't blame anybody.

We don't blame Ijaws for the abandon property policy, we don't blame Yorubas for the 20 pounds policy and the blockade that killed 3 million people, we don't blame Middle Belt for the role they played during the war and we don't blame the North for the role they played during the war.

Today, we only blame the North for leveraging their political positions to enforce systematic marginalization even many years after the war and Yorubas for supporting them, but we don't blame any for any developmental issue in the East.

babyfaceafrica:
assumption is wrong

babyfaceafrica:

Racoon:
And where has civilization taken Benin City to comparable to London even after 58years of independent? Africa is just synonymous with backwardness

rookidmart:
Lmao
I'm not even religious and I never mentioned anything about any foreign deity.

You said "they're scared to return them to us in case we invoke the angry ancestral powers behind the stolen artefacts to unleash mayhem in their direction."

And I'm asking you where your so-called angry ancestral powers were when the Benin people were being ravaged by the whites from the Portuguese to the British.
Or do they keep African Time too?

MediaGuru36:
A group, the Nigeria Association of Yoruba Pig Farmers’ (NAYPF), has written President Muhammadu Buhari demanding the establishment of “pig colony” in Northern parts of the country, Igbere TV reports.

This comes on the heels of federal government's move to establish RUGA cattle colony for Fulani herdsmen across the country.

Although the presidency has since suspended the programme following public outcry, insinuations are, however, rife that the project may soon be reintroduced in another form.

In a statement issued to Igbere TV by NAYPF’s National President, Rev Bunmi Thomas, he said the plan is aimed at expanding the pork business and growing the economy.

According to him, the initiative, once implemented, will help to “strengthen the unity and economy base of Nigeria”, thereby leading to more employment opportunities.

The NAYPF boss hinted that a team of experts have been contracted from China to help establish a Pork Oil Factory in Abuja, for global exports from Nigeria to other countries.

The only countries winning in this agreement are the countries with stable electricity and low Labour cost. South Africa is also a big winner in the deal.


Nigeria with the biggest market is surely the highest looser. We don’t produce anything worthy of export and the little we do is not yet enough for our population let alone for export.

In the short term:

The masses will enjoy with low prices and quality products from other countries. The country The country won’t loose and won’t gain

In the medium term:

The masses Will start feeling the effect of it when they find out all they work for are being taken away to other countries through the goods they’re buying. The country will also start feeling the effects when big companies start leaving for cheaper countries to produce and send their products to nigeria. Small companies start dying off when they can’t survive the competition from outside and there won’t be start up companies.

In the Long term:

The masses Starts to really feel the effects when companies start leaving and and people start loosing their jobs en mass. Start up companies cannot survive cos there is no way to start producing what has been produced cheap from another country. The country at these point the country will be in big trouble cos the only source of foreign exchange will most likely be oils as every other thing will be imported. At that rate, dollar will become very expensive cos everyone need dollar to buy that marvelous product produced in Gambia. Even petroleum products will become scarce and expensive cos marketers will prefer to divert their petroleum products to other West African countries where it is more expensive.


A solution is for nigeria to join for a short period. Expose whose companies in SA, Morocco to the Nigerian market, then withdraw from the deal and close the border. Their quest to keep selling to the Nigerian market will attract them to want to sell to nigeria prompting them to relocate.

But

The best solution would’ve been for Nigeria not to have entered the deal in the first place. Knowing nigeria and it’s terrain, it will be hard for us to withdraw from such deal that is if the subsequent government even remembers that we have such deal. Even if we do withdraw from the deal and close the border, we don’t have the will and expertise to deal with the heavy smuggling that will follow.

This is a very bad deal that the president has being cajoled into signing.

Exactly why Donald Trump is fighting against with Mexico, Canada and China is what nigeria is now diving into.

JubrinElSudan:
That year he refused to sign it, Online supporters hailed him. Now that he has signed, online supporters are still hailing him. What changed between then and now?
Truth is no matter how bad a leader is, there will always be supporters cheering him on
