What about Edo state

Kantebets:
you are disgracing yourself and your tribe with those brainless comment ..
Your think you are wise but your tribalistic comment are mumuish

You must be a foolish person, so u notice my comment to be tribalistic but u did not notice dat of d person I quoted, I c u r a selectively blinded person and u should remain so to promote ur foolishness...

Even if I am disgracing myself atleast I m always thanking my GOD dat m not an afonja

It's so funny how and y d afonja pple r very much in need of distorting history...

Atleast it's on record dat it was only d British dat defeated d Benin empire no other ethnic group in present day Nigeria lay claim to that, even Usman dam fodio fled from war against d Edo pple, you can Google d igodomigodo war...

Talking about conquer it is on record dat otun on Ekiti state was d boundary of Benin empire in d West, it covers all of ondo, Lagos and part of ekiti..

Question is who conquer who...

Oduduwa who u guys so much worship and claim to b d father is a direct descendant from Benin,until u guys accept dis simple truth dem we can start talking or thinking about ur propose union...

The origin of d name Benin city..
B4 Oranmiyan d state or Kingdom was called
Idu, igodomigodo, ubinu

But out of frustration Oranmiyan upon leaving the city he named it ile ibinu, it was the itsekiri dat told d white man the name of the city were the overlord is and dat is ubini and not ile ibinu dat was corrupted to Benin city. .

Atleast Benin city was compared to major city in Europe as at dem, wen ife was sti battling wit primitive life...


It baffles me wen yoruba afonja start laying claim dat Edo r d owners of d land y Benin r foreigners,
Let me tel u dat Edo was given to d Empire by Oba Ewuare d first in respect to his loyal friend who help him attain d throne..

Were was Oyo empire wen Benin conquer and sold his brothers into slavery..
We're was oyo or ife wen Benin took over ondo, Ekiti and present day Lagos...

Oyo was closer to d bight Dan Benin city bt it was named after Benin, y didn't oyo take over the waterways...


Truth is yoruba is a recently coined word not up 2 150yrs of origin...

Remember wen d Europeans visited Benin dey were Amaze and wrote many account about d civilised pple...

Remember d first place d white landed and the first pple dem met in present day Nigeria was d Benin pple but shocking today Edo is landlocked and d only access to d sea is now a river port, dis tell u about control...

If u talk about art work afonja wil start ranting we tot dem...

If u talk about d monarchy afonja wil start wit we gave dem

If u talk about d Kingdom or city we name dem.

Pls stop attaching urself to us Pls, we r not one, d only link was oduduwa who migrated from Benin, any other oduduwa we do not know...

What your definition of conquered, let's start wit dat.

Another dumb logic as is to be expected from one of our conquered subjects at Ile-Ubinu.

There is "Bight of Benin", but NO "Bight of France", NO "Bight of Russia", NO "Bight of Britain", NO "Bight of America", NO "Bight of Germany", etc., hence Benin is greater? You see your life?

I doubt if you know what a Bight means, or what the Bight of Benin signify historically; otherwise you wouldn't have messed yourself up and bare your ignorance this way.

Anyways, the Yoruba language is spoken in other African countries apart from Nigeria, all thanks to the exploits of ancient Ife and the Great Oyo Empire. Please name me one African country where Edo language was adopted.


Moreover, why did you shy away from telling everyone here that the kings of Benin kingdom paid homage to Ile-Ife??

I posted this fact (on the other thread) and I noticed when you saw it and quietly fled to "guest"

Have a look at it one more time referring to time stamp 47:16 to 49:00 of the British Museum historical documentary below:

Yoruba always attaching demself to anything Benin to claim the fatherly Glory. .

Ife from the beginning of time was a spiritual town, the oni was a priest and not a king, it was d colonial masters dat elevated the position to dat of a king...



Oba gha to kpe re


Ise....

catoluy:
Igbo people, search Esan people on Google, you will think they are Igbos. These are Igbo blood along with Afamai and Ogbonna people, who are the real owners of that Edo land, not Edo with yoruba blood invaders, who are the majority and ruling.

Afonja keep quiet... Yoruba always attaching demself frm d beginning of time

If e nr b Benin artwork, every other art work na counterfeit

Lagos belongs to the Benin, as far as the paramount ruler of Lagos claim he is a son of the Oba of Benin...


Eko is benin

This Wazobia of a tin go kill una one day...

So na only dis pple dey dat tym abi

Wait o, dis one dem r contesting so ryt now campaign is ongoing for d position of the Oba.



D highest bidder get d booty

forgiveness:
What is the Edo name of Benin?

Igodomogodo, Edo, ubini, idu...

Oranmiyan name d igodomigo ile ibinu

But it was ubini dat was corrupted to Benin city by d Portuguese, so Benin city is a Portuguese corruption of ubini and not ile ibinu

Normal afonja kings alway ranting

Abeg mke una calm down, all dis stuff r nt worthy enough 2 b posted now... Okay Wat is d big deal if dem all respected d oni of ife, is it odd to prostrate b4 a king...



All dis media propaganda to gain more popularity is nt working... Don't com and tag me ipob oo

Wow, history need to be in our school curriculum...

2 b sincere this is d only language this pple understand and we better give dem,Although i dont support violence but come to benin and see wat dem r doing u would b shock,we now understand dat resolution is not d waybout of this

kayfra:
Bini borrowed Oba from us. We literally changed the Ogiso line and changed it to Oba (Oranmiyan the progenitor of the Benin ruling house). Indisputable fact.

Edos are our cousins anyway

Don't mind d above guy,if he claim oranmiyan started d benin ruling house,den ask him where is oduduwa from the father of oranmiyan is from Benin,so how did den started d ruling house since oranmiyan is indigenous

Dis Atigba guy is juz here to make noise no balogun family in Edo pls

[quote author=Atigba post=86295142]Where did I assert that Portugueses that meant Benin said Oduduwa browse casting was traced to Sudan?

[/quote

Wat r d so called names of d Portuguese

MelesZenawi:
What kind of useless argument is all these and you still mentioning yoruba names.

Balogun is n Edo likewise a yoruba name.


Long stories cut short...

Edos are yorubas and yorubas are edos.

This Atigba guy is not an Edo indigene

[quote author=Atigba post=86294979]I will tell you my local government if you tell me yours because your not from Benin.

You couldn't even identify Balogun family[/quotepp]


I am from uroho town after okha in bye pass if u r heading towards warri in ikpoba okha local govt ,but i reside in oredo local govt in G r a at etete quarterz

Atigba:
Yes, he was talking about himself

Ugbo king is the owner of Ife, Oduduwa is from Sudan/Mecca

Everything he brought was traced by Portugueses to that region, I believed he is one of the kings who fled prophet Mohamed jihad

Pls tell us d name of the Portuguese explorer,because all those dat came in contact with the benins are all recorded...
What their name the Portuguese dat trace wat he brought..lolz

Atigba had gone to google and probably come back here to claim he is not going to answer me...

Wat do u gain claiming an ethnic group juz to bring dat ethnic down

Atigba:
Where did Olugbo of Ugbo mentioned Oduduwa came from Benin here. I have great respect for Ugbo king who I have meant personally.

He only reference how confused Oduduwa children are, today they said they are from Benin, tomorrow, Saudi Arabia, next tomorrow Mecca. And sky

Ultimately, they dont know where their father came from. He told them to go look for their father. Listen


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDYNOtk3xqg

He said if d oni dont knw his source he should as well visit d Oba to lecture him

Atigba:
Stop writing fake story, fabricated by Erediawa

Non of our history state such, and our Ogiso Awodo was childless.

Again, we don't sacrifice humans in Igodomigodo

It is yoruba people from Ife that brought that culture to our land.

Look at his spelling of Erediauwa

Hello pple dis guy Atigba is not Edo it is a false pretence to accept yoruba as a benin man..

Tell me your local govt and villiage and d ward number and a major politician from ur ward ...

Pls do not google asap

Atigba:
The road to Ughoton lead to Ughele not Ife

There was never a prince banished from Igodomigodo that found Ife, the acclaimed Ogiso Awodo his father was childless

Thanks.

The 36 ogiso of igodomigodo was ogiso owodo who had only one son know as Ekaladeran,upon d dubious advice by a priest he was told to sacrifice his only child(Ekaladeran) to save his pple and he was taken to ughoton forest to b excuted but d executioner pitied him and told him to run far away,he ran to a new place called ile ife(dis is a benin word meaning i ran and i escape) and he told d pple dat his father was ogiso(meaning king of d sky) that explain d reason the pple tot dat he fell from d sky,every king in Benin upon ascension to d throne must chose a new name so e change his name to izoduwa(meaning i hve chose my path of prosperity)corrupted to oduduwa,the last ogiso died without a successor..

Dis brought war in benin,everyone claiming lord ova their own domain,so d pple elected Edayi( meaning caretaker or interim govt in Edo) headed by a man called Evian d greed for power made Evian to mke his son successors and d pple oppose..

Den news came to the palace dat Ekaladeran who is now oduduwa was not executed so d pple decided to look for d legitimate heir,upon wich d oracle was consulted and oduduwa was found...

MelesZenawi:
Likewise non of our histories said we are from Igodomigodo.

Respect boundaries same way others are doing.

Hve u watch d video of d king of ugbo who said and claim oduduwa was from benin,is on youtube bro

Atigba:
Orominyan is not from Edo State

He is from Ife, the 6th Oni of Ife

His descendants are the 2% of people I refered to as Yorubas living in Edo State presently.

Oduduwa is from Sudan/Mecca

He is not from Igodomigodo

Its very obvious u r distorting history,tell us how did u come wit d the 2 percent u r always up wit,mayb na ur census b dat...

Pride:they r ready to admit mecca,jerusalem,persia than Benin...sorry bro we knw d truth hmmm
