I did this heavy fufu with palm nut soup for him this morning

Are you salivating?

Tzar:
I am sure you are more miserable. Anyway, I choose to educate you a bit, so if you are not too miserable & lazy, please read the below link. Bini monarchs came from Yoruba monarchy, while Itsekiri monarchs came from Bini monarchy. This accounts for the strong similarities found in their language, culture & traditions.

@BronRicch aka @Born2Breed:

You appear to me to be one of the remaining willfully ignorant folks in the world.

Will you not wake up and smell the coffee to realize (as already found by historians the word over) that the king Oduduwa of Ife:

(1) Has nothing to do in terms of descent with Binis— but somewhat the other war round, since Benin obas (not the autochthonous Binis themselves) descended from him?

(2) Flourished circa 1000AD at the outset of the Ogiso system (and not at its close as fabricated in the 1970s by the incoming Erediauwa regime), and as such can not possibly have anything to do with Ogiso Owodo (the last of the Ogisos) in terms of descent from him?

It is high time you emancipated yourself from mental slavery by leveraging on knowledge. Prior to the 1970s, Oduduwa remains (in the Bini worldview) a non-Edo outside overlord to whom the foundation of Benin monarchies are indebted.

The attached is an apt summary of the facts by a Bini professional academic historian.

J. Eboreime, “Oral Traditions and the Prehistory of the Edo-Speaking People of Benin” in Blench and Spriggs, Archaeology and Language I: Theoretical and Methodological Orientations, Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2004, p. 314.

You are an ignoramus who knows nothing about history.

I believe this question has been answered many times but you Bini youth like to replay the same thing.
It is like pouring water into a basket with you people

Oduduwa known by many titles including "Olofin Aye" and "Olufe" was first known all over as "Osin-ora" living east of Ilé-Ifẹ̀.

Because of scarce resources and issues with the Iloromu people he moved his people to Idio. Where he set up a new abode
His grove can be found in Igbo-Idio and his house is still at Ora Hill

So he has family at Ifẹ̀. Go to the Obadio who represents him. You can't sit down in Bini or wherever and be saying what you don't know about the people in Ife

All your references are books and papers written about " Benin country, Benin customs, Benin this and that etc".
What does that tell you?
Where are the books on Yoruba people and their land? That's where you should be quoting from, my friend.
Awolowo's contribution to trying to disrupt traditional institution s is well known. That's a matter for another day.
If anyone says they are not from Benin, fine. Just move on.
There's a connection between Ife and Benin but " Yorubas" want a revised and incorrect mythological version. Europeans didn't come to southern Nigeria in search of Yorubas or their great culture. That's why there are few books written. It was Benin they were interested in.
As for people being buried in Ife, that was Olubuse's version straight out of Awolowo's Action Group' political playbook. Complete garbage.

Nisiw365:
Akanbi son of oduduwa was his father

KingOdart:
A full blooded Benin with Yoruba name?

What does Olu Ginuwa means in Benin language?

Only TAO11 can school you guys properly

Nisiw365:
Oranmiyan founded Benin and named it ile ibinu. Edo's migrated from ile ife

Nisiw365:
Benin royals are Yoruba. Edo's ate Yoruba

Nisiw365:
Benin royals are yoruba

Enceladus:
I thought the Itsekiri's royals mother side is of Benin descent. Same reason they want to bypass Tsola because he is double Yoruba on both sides.

LamidiCownu:
