Using everything you learn from Ife against Ife with your reverse mentality is not going to work, not even on those that had primary school in Nigeria before disgruntled Oba kicked against its own in 2003(?), I think.

What are the oldest artifacts from Igodo abi na Bini sef?

Ever heard of IWO ELERU, 10,000 B.C
What do you know about the Iwo Eleru or the conclusion the white scientist made about the Iwo Eleru skull? They found a skull believed to be 13,000 years old and after analyzing the skull they decided that early inhabitants of that area where the skull came from where not humans, rather more like apes.. So I guess you can be proud that your ancestors are confirmed apes and monkeys..

Also having the oldest artifact doesn't mean you are greater or more civilized than other races or kingdoms around you.. There are artifacts older than British Empire but yet it was one of the greatest empire ever..
If you like continue to claim oldest artifact, it still doesn't change the fact that Benin Kingdom was more powerful and mightier than all your Yoruba kingdoms..
Almost every tribe in Nigeria was influenced by Benin Kingdom, we influence their culture, their monarchies.. How many Yoruba fit influence?
None!!

You didn’t civilize anybody. You couldn’t even civilize or organize yourselves properly. Edo people were regarded as the most civilize and advanced West Africans and you know that fact.
As for clothing culture nobody cares who was the first people to weave cloths, doesn’t mean you were great, it’s just a skill.
Many great empires borrow skills from other cultures incorporate it into their culture and become great with it.
What did the excavation at Ife result in? Only few bronze heads and 3 calabash pots lol.
Do u know why there was no screaming headlines about that excavation?? They got nothing special lol.

We have talked about conquering each of these tribes you mentioned but you don't see them shouting and ranting like you Yorubas.. Probably it is because they understand that it was all in the past, so why argue about a past that is gone? But you Yorubas being a petty people cannot let go..

We Edos measure our greatness by our conquests, imperial expansions, territories we colonized, vassal states we subdued, cities we founded and our resistance to European imperialism..
You small Yorubas can keep saying u gave great Benin an Oba or started clothing culture it however doesn’t change the fact you are a weaker race compared to the Edo people and Yoruba kingdoms were weaker than Mighty Benin Kingdom.

Both art show realism but benin art was perfect it advanced from sculpture head to plaques which ife lacked it was both for ornament and document which Oyo lacked...it was done with a well refined irons gotten from Portuguese menila
Benin art was more fine with no holes left at the back like ife art was...mostly it wasnt sold like the ife art.....

On this note based on evidence of ooni statue found in benin and benin chief found ife its believed edo was the one who trained ife in art ...

Below is a benin chief what is the art doing at ife
I dont know if Yoruba arts have any realism about it.. They only have few bronze heads and that is what they keep shouting as great art works..
The unique thing about Benin arts is that it is just not only art works but it also tells stories.. It is like a documentation of Benin history. The art works represents historical events and encounters in Benin History, some tell of different Obas and their achievements, while some represent religious festivals and dieties..
It is this uniqueness of the Benin arts and what they represents that has the world in awe of Benin art works.. Since we could not write on paper, we told our stories in our art works. This is one reason Benin was described has the most civilized and advanced Kingdom in West Africa.

Yoruba art works represent nothing. The only thing you will hear about it will be what type of material was used or what date it was made.. nothing else..
I don't know for certain between the two races who first started making art work, but Benin was better at it.

This is why I stay away from this recurring argument that goes in circles.

Whenever an ignorant or slighted Yoruba Oba that points to his father land with his left hand, misstate his importance people like you seize on it to claim history.

If you guys ever went to school, you could have noticed academic proof presented here and other places. But you can't understand them or their significance.

Should I waste my time and ask for evidence about Oba of Bini or Lagos that had to be reminded that his pathernal line was Alagba from Ilesha.

Bini is a branch of a big tree claiming to be its roots. All Nigerians including the Hausa and Sudanese are related. Bini is a tiny part of Yoruba tree spread all over West Africa and the world.

Empty vessels, I have no time for you.
Which academic proof? Is it the ones written by Yoruba revisionists?
If you Yorubas had any pride you would stop claiming that Benin/Bini is Yoruba.. The people totally rejects Yoruba and have been rejecting Yoruba since beginning of time.. so why can't you guys have pride and stop saying that?
Is it because Yoruba have no legacy or great history so you turn to Mighty and glorious Benin as yours?

Even your own Oba told foreigners he had Oghene nue. Documents older than the vexed Oba that felt he was slighted, started a book contradicting a Bini son respected as the foremost authority worldwide.

Haba, you guys are not tired of revisions and improvisation to fabricate false imagined history to boast your ego.

Oba of Lagos said he is a Benin man,

Obi of Onitsha said he is a Benin man,

Osemawe of Ondo said he is a Benin man,

Eze of Oguta said he is a Benin man,

Eze of Enugu Ezike said he is a Benin man,

Olu of warri said he is a Benin man,

Ovwie of Okere( Urhobo) Kingdom said he is a Benin man,

Obi of Isele Ukwu said he is a Benin man,

Obi of Agbo said he is a Benin man,

The king of Ibuza said he is a Benin man,

Orodje of Okpe said he is a Benin man,

The Dukes of Oleh and Ozoro( both of Isoko) said they are from Benin,

Udezi( Deji) of akure said he is a Benin man,

The Dukes of Ikwerre said they are Benin men,

The King of Ogbia Kingdom said he is a Benin man,

The paramount ruler of dahomeans in Republic of Benin said he is a Benin man.

These are major traditional rulers in southern Nigeria and beyond and yet some dare open their mouth to denigrate Benin history and even call Edo people a minority stock when history and cultural evidence show Edo is the largest ethnic group in Nigeria until it was decimated and adulterated by the sinister manipulations of the colonialist and their in-house collaborators (Yorubas).

Ebohon and his party were sent to plead with Ogedengbe . The Esans were the traditional Warriors of the Oba of Benin. Learn your History.
The reason Ogedengbe wanted to punish Oba of Benin was because he was supporting the Ibadan Army while Ogedengbe and the Ekitiparapo were at war with Ibadan.

Around 1878 Ogedengbes Army after overrunning and taking many Edo towns encircled Benin and besieged it and would have overun and taken the City but for the desperate attempts of the Oba of Benin and his Chiefs in pacifying Him.

Many Edo’s still bear the Ijesa Yoruba surname of Ogedengbe today.
Shut up your lies.. Ogedengbe exploit in Benin happened before he joined in the fight against Ibadan.. You don't know your history..
Ogedengbe didnt happen in 1878.. it happened around 1848. He fled when he head General Ebohon was marching on him.

and for your information, it was Benin Kingdom that helped Eastern Yorubas fight in their Ekiti kparapo wars.. Benin supplied most guns and canons to the Ekiti fighters and our warriors fought actively in the war.. and you know why? Because we were protecting our interests in Eastern Yoruba which was mostly under Benin control..

Go study your history properly again.

With humility,

Ogedengbe was not defeated not even by the Ibadan Army that defeated the Fulanis the Oba of Benin and his Chiefs pleaded desperately with him to show mercy and not destroy Benin he had already taken many Edo towns and had encircled and besieged Benin . Ebohon was probably the leader of the begging party Oba of Benin sent to deliver presents and plead with Ogedengbe ,but was later killed to save face, that is why there was no confrontation with Ogedengbe at Orhua. By the way Orhua was solid Benin territory why was Ogedengbes Army not confronted there? Or was the Benin Army too scared to fight? Think ,do people bear the name of a general they defeated for over 100 years ?
It is okay for you to celebrate your Ogedengbe since that is the only hero Yorubas can boast of in all of your history. However stop lying about Ogedengbe exploits in Benin Kingdom. He staged a surprise invasion into Benin territory and when Benin knew he was given a choice (either stay and fight Benin army or flee and be spared) and he fled so as not to face confrontation from the Benin army. Below is message sent to Ogedengbe while Benin army was approaching.

"Oba sent a parcel of red sand, stony sand and gunpowder to Ogedengbe as ‘’aroko’’. "Look at this red sand, If the land on which you are standing is red, you are in Edo/Benin territory. Also, Gun powder means war, sand means leave the Edo/Benin lands and return to your stony land of Ilesha and fight the Ibadans. We will not attack you if you heed advice and we shall support your fight with Ibadan’’.
Your Ogedengbe choose sand and left Benin territory.

On another note, Ogedengbe invasion into Benin Territory was around 1848.. It was around this period Benin Kingdom was fighting wars in Eastern Yoruba lands, and few years before Ogedengbe exploits Benin had captured Akure and beheaded your Deji..
So it is suprising that it is the same Mighty Benin you guys are thinking Ogedenbge could defeat in battle?

"Every town or village under him (Ewi) except Ijan were prepared to fight…The Benin soldiers stormed Igbara-Odo and Ilawe and took them. At this time, Ado town had been vacated. Aroloye took the people to a place called Oke Oko Axis between Ifaki and Iworoko. Most of the gods Ado worshipped on that side: Olua at Eyio, Obanifon at Esure and Are, Ogbese and Orisala at Iworoko. The soldiers pitched their camps near Uyin (Iyin)…Ogbesi Okun, the then Oluyin …was conquered and killed. They proceeded to Igede, Awo and Esure and took them. The inhabitants of Igede then uder Okiribiti were driven in a north-easternly direction to a place called Oke Asha…Edo troops then marched to Iworoko…The soldiers entered Are…The same fate befell Afao. They were all taken to Ikere. The soldiers moved to Igbemo …entered Igbo-Omoba (now Ilu-Omoba)…The soldiers left Aisegba for Agbado and without delay took it and evacuated the people. Agbado was the last place under the Ewi. With the conquest, of Agbado, the soldiers seemed to have finished their job…’

Ewi Aroloye (1808-1836) who reigned at Ado but were attacked successively by Benin hordes…‘During the reign of Ewi Aroloye, Ado-Ewi’s kingdom witnessed massive dislocation across the terrain as town dwellers and villagers ran for safety in different directions. Many of the captives from Iworoko, Are, Afao, Ugboomoba (now Ilumoba) and Agbado were taken to Ukere by Benin invaders’."

From an Edo website
Which Ogedengbe? Please Ogedengbe was a coward.. He only raided villages on Benin Northern borders and fled when he was informed of an approaching Benin Army.. The only reason he succeeded in raiding those villages was due to slow method of communication at that time.. before message could get to Benin and an army sent to confront him he had raided a few villages..
Ogedengbe was given a choice by the advancing Benin army.. Stay and fight or leave before the Benin Army gets to his position and if he leaves they won't pursue him.. he took the deal and fled.. Why he no wait?"?

Thank you bro for a very enlightening piece.
I have asked them same question before when they said Aworis invited Benin. Why would the Aworis bypass all the Yorubas kingdoms and come to Benin?
Even if it is true that Aworis came to Benin for help then doesn’t that proves Benin was a mightier, more powerful kingdom than all the Yorubas kingdoms and the Aworis must have seen Benin conquer and ruling over Yoruba lands hence it came to Benin for help.

The problem with the Yorubas is that no matter how much they lie and twist the truth their stories will always work against them and show that Benin was more powerful than Yoruba and ruled over the Yorubas.

ur old age is worrying u I hope u are not blind but I will help and break the LASG statement for u. The first screen shot talked about the name Lagos edo and Europeans trading there and the controversy regarding the name of Eko of which one account involve awori and the second Benin.
Second screen shot talked about their knowledge of what they say in this document is by the account of the Europeans of which English are European just leaving that there. Now the main line of the LASG and I quote “what is fairly certain is that the awori settlement in Lagos was earlier than that of the benin” now read this quoted statement and tell me where is says edo and awori were the earlier settler of Lagos island. The first settler of Lagos is awori(yoruba) before Benin came not awori and edo the same time read well
Thank God you know I'm older than you little boy..
I explained to you before but you didnt understand because of your fish brain.. In the whole area called Lagos, the Aworis only occupied Iddo.. That was their land, not the whole present day Lagos.. The Edos came and settled in Lagos Island which was unoccupied and no mans land at that time and developed it into a formidable trading town.. It was this town that attracted more people to migrate to Lagos.. That is why it is correct to say Benin founded Lagos because it was our activities there that opened up the place and gave it its recognition and importance.
So the first settlers in Lagos is Aworis and Edos and the founder of modern day Lagos is Edos.

Meanwhile which document did u provide about lagos? The document you provided only discusses Yoruba people and the population of entire Yoruba race in all of Yoruba lands at that time.. and at that time the population of Yorubas in Lagos colony was only 86k (the document doesnt say Lagos is Yoruba land even) ..

I know you are hurt by the truth but deal with it..

You are a complete dunce. Reading and understanding are your biggest problems. The screenshot from the LASG official website is very concise; Short, clear and simple. How you weren't able to comprehend that is terrible.

Go back and read it again. It need no interpretation, its written in the simplest form of English language such that even a primary 2 pupil wouldn't have any difficulty understanding it.

No wonder your age got stuck at 17. While your numerical agent increases with the turn of the calendar, you wisdom age is stuck there
I already know he gets his information from his fellow yoruba liars like Olu, babaramota and Y0ruba.. LASG websites that clearly says Aworis and Edos were the first settlers and Yorubas as migrants in Lagos he calling it false..
If Yorubas were resourceful as they claim to be then whay are Yoruba states rundown and under-developed? go to all Yoruba states they are all dirty, no roads, no development.. Edo and delta states and most Niger-delta states beat yoruba states in development and wealth.
Lagos was built by all Nigerians.. It will be hard for the Yorubas to take it if Nigeria breaks.. They will probably take the ruins after it is destroyed.
