Just imaging what you just typed? Your ignorance is at the peak. Anyway as usual ,we are educating you so that you will be more enlightened more than your Edo cum IKA descendants. Egba had autonomy before the treaty. Egba were the set of people, British relied on because of their intelligence on information gathering. In fact ,Egba warriors were part of the people that silenced your Edo soldiers. See your life? Hate us ,we don't care but in truth ,we stand and inform the public. Bitter truth..
See this fool. Everyone knows yorubas were the useless African slaves and betrayers the British used to fight fellow Africans.

not really dumbass Lagos was govern by the British directly with a British as the governor same with other tribe. The egba did sign a treaty with the British to be recognized as a form of autonomous nation with them completely self governing unlike other tribe who was govern directly eg edo
The British governed us directly becos they know if the tried the Egba deal with us we will arm ourselves and bring war to them if given the opportunity. They knew we are warriors and don’t relent in our fight.. unlike the cowardly Yoruba tribe.

Why Benin was long dead in 1897 and ur oba exiled to far away land the egba were self governing and recognized by the British with the Alake being the president till 1914. Btw Alake is the paramount ruler of egba land just awujale is the paramount ruler of ijebu land
You are really a fool.. Egba signed to be a British protectorate in 1893.. part of the agreement of that treaty was to form a council of Egba chiefs to govern the people under the watchful eyes of the British.. same thing they did with other tribes..

And the pitiful thing about you yorubas is that you are the only Africans that joins the British to accuse Benin of human sacrifice.. Others have questioned it because they know it’s a big lie.. when the British defeated Benin they claimed hundreds of human sacrifices littered the streets but yet all the pictures they took was of them looting the palace, pictures of artifacts, pictures of Benin prisoners.. why didn’t they take pictures of the sacrifices they claimed they saw?
And you Yorubas joined them to say it’s true.. well I see it as a payback from you guys, payback for the centuries of subjugation we put ur fathers lol. But in paying back you choose to be the dogs of the whiteman and enslaved yourself.. that’s why ur Oni and Obas don’t know the meaning of dignity..

I dont blame you for your ignorance but your Oba Erediuwa that conjure a classified fable on Yoruba history in your huts kingdom. Little do you know that David Van Nyendael,Olfert Dapper wrote about Bini declination.Your smallish city was bewitched with retrogressive knowledge of human sacrifice and slave trade that even depopulated Bini. Is Bini a kingdom or a community? Whatever you like, call it ,but the truth is that ,you are a bloody irrelevant group as at today. Do you know why? You lost you touch with your source. Even Oba Bini, even threatened your Ashewos and others with Juju. This only showed that you're indeed a land of vexation . Bloody set of Yoruba followers, that learned about Olokun ,Ogun.Ifa etc from Yorubas. Even itsé is a borrowed word from asé ,which you borrowed has no etymology in Edo language. I mock you.
So you believe the white mans excuse of human sacrifice in Benin to invade our kingdom lol.. an excuse they still use till this day whenever they want to invade any nation that doesn’t agree with them.
Well it is not news that Yorubas are the most brainwashed Africans on earth.. I sorry for your people.

As for human sacrifices and rituals who does that if not the Yorubas? Everyday u hear news of children, women, people being used for rituals in Yoruba lands.. Hardly you will hear that news any other place in Africa only Yoruba..

While you guys keep defending and denying Benin conquest and suzerainty over the Yorubas do you see any Edo man talking about Ogedengbe? We don’t bother about that because it never happened. Even if u go to the village you claim the coward ogedengbe invaded they will tell u they have no recollection of it..
Ogedengbe sneaked unnoticed and attacked some farm settlements on our northwest border and quickly fled when he was informed of an advancing Benin army..

oyo fell to British in 1896 while Benin fell in 1897 but Yoruba like egba we’re serve governing and their king recognized by the British under the (eug) egba united government till the amalgamation.

Moneywoman you make me laugh anytime I read ur clownish posts.. I don’t like calling you slowpoke even though you keep acting like one..

And as for the coward statement you made, every Nigerian knows who are the cowards.. and the cowardly name attributed to you yorubas didn’t start recently nor was it Edos that started calling you cowards.. Yorubas have been known to be cowards since the beginning of time.

Your inability to buy & read books is why you have made this careless statement.

Abeg which history does Yoruba have? Which caucasians dedicated their lives to study Yoruba history? If u must know, the only way the little that is known about Yoruba was done using the “question and answer” method.. there was nothing else to use to find out about Yoruba only oral accounts which is always not credible.

Do u know why the British rushed to colonize Yoruba? I will tell u..
When the Europeans came the Yorubas were a broken and traumatized people, devastated by internal conflicts and external aggression from forces like the Benin and Fulanis..
The Yorubas were killing and selling themselves into slavery, the British afraid that the French may use the disorder and disorganization in the Yoruba race as an excuse to claim Yoruba as their colony quickly rushed to colonize the region.
The British out of pity and their selfish interests decided to save the Yorubas from themselves and from Benin Kingdom..

You have a modus operandi when overpowered....you begin to pacify your opponent.

Britain was not the first power to loot your palace. Are you aware?

Recall a ritual face mask worn only by the Oba was seized from your palace by Igala warriors. Till today the mask is in their posession.

Where was your Oba when Igala entered and took his mask during war? Was he hidden away or somethinghuh


In the second war, while Igala warriors were camped just outside your city. Oba sent fresh young Edo pussies into the camp to entertain his enemy, hoping the action will pacify them to turn around and head back to Idah. After chopping pussy Igala warriors headed into Benin....Oba sent a Save Our Soul dispatch for Portuguese help.


1966, Biafra, are you aware that...

Noo, let me leave Biafra beside for now, its use will come later. grin grin



If we didnt occupy its because you likely sent a pacifier to calm us down.


Beside....you are already under Yoruba occupation when Oranmiyan became your king. That was also "accompanied" by an act of pacification using ekaladheran as a hoax to settle the foreigner on Edoland with no problem.

Only slaves celebrate the decline of their masters.. and because you yorubas arguing are dumb you fail to realize that all great empires decline at a point, the decline is defined as loosing its vassal states.. but the great empire itself stays strong and alive..
but the weak/pretender empires die a woeful and painful death like Oyo, dead and decayed with no trace of its existence..

Worse still for you Yorubas is that this argument have been in Yoruba lands ( we saying we conquered and ruled all of Yoruba and you saying we did not) and it will always remain in Yoruba lands.. we are rooted deep in your history you cannot remove us.

All your stories about Oyo cannot be proven so at best it is hearsay.. doesn't hold water.
Benin is described as a mighty Empire and Oyo because it is not known is described at best as a Yoruba kingdom..
