Gregboy.. I have been observing your post and comment on this platform, Pls no offence you have distorting our history especially claiming dat our Oba was part of a conspiracy stuff with the yorubas kings.. And now recently claiming dat the oghene is in Igalla land... I ve been wondering were u get ur information frm but Pls stop it, opening of diff thread here on naira land will not validate anything not to talk of distorting our history... C I am proudly Edo from Okha in
Ikpoba okha afta bye pass in sapele Road... Pls Gregboy some of ur comment are tru but some others r not in line Bro... In the history of benin b4 British no ethnic group or Kingdom can lay claim to hve defeated Benin and we r knw 2 ve been great warriors always in battle so dat explain how d horses came into d empire, remember wen British defeat Benin dem also looted our art.. I mean no offence Bro

Tomoa den wil open a thread stating of how mighty oyo was or of how Benin was under oyo

Benin is everything the yorubas ever wish for...

Pls stop creating story about oyo and kindly state d fact, it's on record dat usman Dan fodio was chase out of Edo land by the great Edo pple..

Population is not and never a means of strength

Fulani couldn't defeat tiv pple
Fulani couldn't defeat benue pple
Fulani couldn't defeat jukun pple
Fulani couldn't defeat d Edo pple, just Google the igodomigodo war were usman Dan fodio tried to invade Edo(Benin)...

But d mighty yorubas fell as prey to d Fulani and sti brag about it

Typical Afonja

Arabiandude:

If you don't know let me take your mind backward and remind you when Lucky igbinedion was governor, there was a time when him and his father wanted to strip the late Oba Erediauwa family of kingship so that Obaship will rotate and if that was achieved, after the late Oba, Gabriel Igbinedion would have become the new Oba. It was Anenih, Esan and Efemai Kings whom didn't supported lucky and his father that made it not to materialized and when Oshiomhole came, he killed such thoughts in Lucky and his Father by supporting both the late and present Obas wholeheartedly. Today how are the binis treating this same Oshiomhole, a man who even brought modern development to Benin city and Edo at large? Bookmark this, when the time comes and it's soon, the Binis will surely pays for their sins

Trash

Punishment1:


Esan and Benin have some similarities, but we are not one. Stop being delusional.

Wic part of Esan r u from,and pls kindly tell us d origin of Esan and their kings...
Let us start wit that

Nl is now a home for ethnic superiority...
If u observe dis post and it's comment r made by afonja and Biafra trying to divide and share Edo state...

Edo state indigene r descendant from Igodomigodo even d urhobo, Esan were part and parcel of Benin empire, many Queen mothers were from Esan land, all d enojie of Esan r son of d oba of Benin...

In The rest Edo dialect dey call Benin city pple as Edo, there is no tribe as benin butt as Edo...

So stop all dis nonsense we r Edo and we r one...

It amazes me dat wen it comes to ancient Nigeria history warfare, monarchy, traditions the focal point is always d Benins,...


It show dat we all knw d truth but some r trying deir best to bury it and rewrite it

Mrexcell:


The binis have even been conquered by ojukwu and his biafran soldiers during the biafra/nigeria civil war when they invaded and captured benin the capital of former Midwest region. Till date in history it's only the igbos and the british that have successfully conquered the binis and their oba.

The civil war fight was no d fight of the Benin but of Nigeria, all history book will tell you Midwest was neutral and biafra troops met no resistance... Do u actually tink d Benin pple r happy about dis Nigeria entity, imagine an empire dat once colonise half of southern Nigeria is now a minority in dat same country... Bendel will neva follow biafra or oduduwa, it's better to be on our own and if u read ur history book immediately biafra troop arrive Benin den declare an independent state as d Republic of Benin dat dis not last long

RichBoy247:


I love your dreams. But, let them end in your sleep.

It's only the living dat can dream

Thank GOD d son of d oba of Benin is sti dere as d oba of lagos

Those institutions dat dere r competitive replacement can b easily dethrone...

D quest for different ruling house will easily aide d dethronement process unlike in Benin wen d next ova is born and not selected to be oba...

Every oba must b d first son of d current oba and no oba is permitted to ve a father...

D only place were dethronement cannot work is in Benin...
So e of u will mke mention of oba ovoranwen, some one the British took along him 2 of his wife's and about close to 100 maids and was guarded by the colonial troop and a cruise was named after him as ovorami cruise(Google it), remember no king reign in Benin until his death and his own son took over, imagine if for example Alafin or oni is banish wil dat stool b vacant till after his death

Afonja wil get 2 d oda thread nd discredit d oba of Benin and run back to credit the Alafin dat history is not in favour with...


Funny tin tho is if dat bleaching man in oyo misbehave Sultan of sokoto will write to FG for his dethronement and banishment to ijebu

Afonja trying very hard to mke tinubu very relevant in d latest update of naija politics

D funny tin is dat those pple criticising it r nt staying in Benin. We dat r staying in Benin will comply nd we r nt complaining...


If u r nt happy wit it pls mke urself available around there by dat tym and let c if u wil b able 2 post it here...

baralatie:

in the west countless!
Lagos has its share twice under the British navy
Oyo was literarily obliterated and both went to war with the British and failed. then there was Baja of opobo.and countless confrontations in the East of the Niger.
I would tell the one that happened in Lagos just hold you fingers

The one dat happen in Lagos was backed by the Oba of Benin against the brits remember

baralatie:

ooooookaaaayyyyy!
i heard that according to Benin boys history book of. records that Oba of Benin gathered 500000 Benin elite warriors and flew to England and massacred the royal army,royal air force and their royal navy.In short the Oba march into the Buckingham palace and gave them stern warning that if they try him again."nobody go wake for here " according to reports.
As a result The whole england now begged the Oba to go and enjoy enough flexing in calabar all expenses paid.
I beg I correct with the narrative.

Tell us wic of the kings from the west try to show any attempt of resistance against the brits rather Dan thinking of going to war wit dem... It's normal in war for a king to b remove after defeat but it is not compulsory for his son to continue the reign, but dat happen in Benin and mind u d pple Sti regarded him as King until he died

Pls change the title of the thread to OBA of Benin..

Funny tin dat pple comparing Benin vs British war wit current day politics, if so do u knw how many deji of akure dat was beheaded and dethroned by the Benin...
Google it and u wil c dat there was a time dat d oba of benin order d oba of Lagos to commit suicide and he did, so u can add dis as well or probably create a thread of indigenous king dethroning indegwnous king so we can recall history...

Nobody can replace Oba of Benin,an oba is born as an oba and not as a commoner...

Gandollaar:
I am Igbo and the feeling is mutual.

Even when our brothers ask for your sisters hands in marriage, the feeling down here is that they have brought fetish cantankerous women into the bloodline. No offense bro.

Com n c
Okirika shrine pple...
Baby factory pple...

Dey r here discriminating fetish pple from deir bloodline... Wonder shal never end...

One thing I m sure of the old Bendel state can never be part or parcel of biafra pls no offence dat d truth, I reside here and I m telling about d public opinion and secondly we get irritated by the mentioning of oduduwa Republic

Population is not a true measure of strength...

How come Benin empire was able to colonise Lagos, ekiti, indo, delta, onitsha all at the same time with their little population...

Dis majority bullshit and land grabbing in the Midwest and now into the old bendel region should stop

Azmanaty:


That's why they are major. God made them major tribes for a reason. Deal with it.

A major tribe that was colonise, dominated and sold into slavery by a minor tribe for many century

MelesZenawi:


Read the history before you and when ooni called oba of Benin my son.

History from your propaganda source abi....

Remember olugbo of ugbo said he is d number one na

MelesZenawi:


Oduduwa isn't from Igodomigodo.....or any Iduu.

So also Benin is nt from any yoruba race

Yes oba of Benin is a descendants from yoruba race and oduduwa the father of the yoruba pple is from Igodomigodo or idu son of the ogiso
