Mine is 6. To be honest, I have never asked her of her age. I only know month and date. Age difference of two is nothing. Her dressing can cover up for her.

Nickisindigo:

Shaking my head! Funny thread! Young married couple with already 3 kids will be looking at the OP with side eye! This is what yoruba people will say : ọmọde ọ mọ ogun, ọ npe ni ẹfọ!

Well, I have disputed Oduduwa falling from the story here on Nairaland over the years and often led to intertribal spat so that's another story.

When you hear something often enough, you begin to believe it. Be it true or not.

Fact is your grand dad and grandma would never have called themselves "ovbiubini". But ovbiedo.

Someone going from Ovia or Orionmwon to Benin would not have said "I am going to Ubini or Bini" but to Edo.
I grew up to meet people born in 1870s. People who were around 16 or 17 years old in 1897 as Oba Ovonramwen went to Calabar.

That some people still used various versions of Bini does not remove the fact that Ewuare the first (1440 to 1473) abolished Ubini by 1440 already. Some people still call Benin Republic Dahomey and Ghana Gold Coast. Whether some citizens there prefer the old name or not reality is they now have new names.

Oba Ewuare the first had nothing to hide. He just wanted to finally remove the disparaging name given by Oronmiyan. Though his father imadoduwa/Oduduwa was an exiled Benin, Oronmiyan was essentially a foreigner brought up with Yoruba culture.

The story is pretty well established and well known. Ewuare the first was an astute politician, warrior and reformer. No other Oba has left so much impact on Edo culture than Ewuare. A new name was just another of his political, social, religious, military and wide ranging reforms.

Edo by the way was a loyal servant who saved his life during struggle for the throne. He thought that such bravery, loyalty and dedication epitomise Igodomigodo spirit and honoured him with renaming the empire Edo. The servant Edo lost his life in that struggle.

AreaFada2:
Nothing like Bini. It's Benin.

In fact by 15th century it was already known as Edo. As renamed from Igodomigodo by Ewuare I. It's creation of Edo state recently that now makes it more necessary to use Benin for sake of Esan, Owan, Igbanke and others who are also Edo State people.

Till now, you are "Ovbiedo" as a Benin person Not "Ovbiebini".

Beny was Portuguese from Ile Ubini writing it in 1478. The British wrote it in 1553 as Benin when they came later. It was Itsekhiri who told them at the coast upon landing that the power king inland ruling over the whole area is Oba of Ile Ubini, Beny, Bini or Benin never was our cup of tea really.

Ile Ubini was never popular among Edo people. By 1440 Oba Ewuare I had abolished Ile Ubini totally as another name. But just like Nigeria as name of our country, we didn't chose Benin. Either way we just took the British version as Benin. But Ovbiedo (Ivbiedo as plural) is what we are first and foremost.

People feel the need to make it look or sound more of vernacular by writing Bini. Even many Benin people are guilty of this. Despite correction from the palace over many years.

Benin/Edo people called Lagos Eko as a military camp. Portuguese later called it Lagos because of the lagoon. The British records even show Eleko Dosunmu as DOCEMO. So most parts of 9ja have had names tampered with. But enduring inherit culture is not all about an additional name given by invaders,

AreaFada2:
Those who do not value their culture enough might lose them but not in Benin. Those items that were hidden during the war and those in locations the British didn't know are still available today. I know that firsthand.

boiz2men:
Side note..

You look like a yahoo girl oo

Did you cheat or lied about something in those 5 years?

Chances are he has been resentful towards you if you did.

Kalixx:
Sometimes I wonder what exactly makes up a typical african woman's brain.

If I talk now, they'll say I've come again, 'boys are misogynists' bla bla bla.

In the 21st century, look at all what grownup girls can gather to think about.

On Nairaland, Ive never seen a post involving a group of girls argue which is better between Vue.js or React.js, or whether jQuery will always remain relevant.

I've never seen an intellectual topic between ladies on what SQL injection is, what multi-threading, the importance of data-mining, how to scrape data etc.

The typical african woman's brain is so so dull and what is worse is they are so comfortable with it.

The other time it was the attention-seeking wh*re saying 'Beauty is the greatest asset of a woman'. That shows u how they think.

All they think of is 'breasst, nyansh, hair, wig, phone, camera, bleach, makeup, f*ck, sex, boyfriend' - then when they now grow old, they will go and sell pepper in the market.

Naija babes are a significant millstone to this country because many of them make up unskilled workforce and only look to offer their body for money either through fake relationships and marriage as well.

We will confiscate all their properties and deposit into our central bank to pay all the customers. This year alone,our government has shut down over 15 banks including some Nigerian banks and still managed to pay back all the customers. We just don't want any Nigerians here.That's simple.

DSHADOWWALKER:
True,but tou should no we africans exaggerate a lot,ww are bad at record keeping and we don't leave enough evidences.It is very hard to believe things like this,and that 344years old is out of range,d oldest confirmed yet is 189 and dat margin is just too much to believe.That was how a northerner also claimed to be 287years old some years back when the oldest confirmed person lived for 119years

omenka:
Forget math and all that. Simply do a radio carbon dating and you wouldnt have to do any guessing or mathematics.

That shouldnt be too hard to perform.

omenka:
344? Was any scientific analysis carried out before they arrived at that conclusion? Any radio carbon dating or something?
