Moorish:
Do you agree that your mothers are prostitutes in Italy today?

Do you agree that Ife birthed your kingship?

Do you agree that Yoruba was the language of Benin kingdom until Ewuare stopped it?

If you guys are telling the truth why is it that all the writings on the Yoruba pantheon of gods (ogun, oya, oshun, sango etc) come from yorubas?

Were are your writings about these gods?

Why did Ifa divination system come from yorubas?

Is it not obvious that you are an idiot?

Do you know that your own mother cheated on your useless father? Idiot child of a witch mother and armed robber father..

Moneywomen17:
In this thread alone I have provided two source from Ghana and Benin written by their historians that agreed with what the Yoruba has been saying. With that said am out of this thread. Nobody should mention me if he is not ready to provide proof to assert whatever it is he wants to say or I won’t reply I have little Time for jokers.

Do you agree Benin Kingdom conquered and ruled Yoruba?

Moneywomen17:
I also provided a Ghanaian source written by Ghanaian themselves that shows that it was oyo that defeated their Ashanti army. Oyo empire can never ever be downplay by haters. If not for internal troubles it will have been more greater than it was.

Really??

Where is ekaladeran? What was his wrongdoing?

Ekaladeran is your diety ododuwa

Moneywomen17:
lol o boy see life. U should be ashamed after all ur lies u finally decided to read. And oyo controlled all of 10,000 km2 of Dahomey not some which is not small and were free due to the fall of oyo just like egba and others took advantage of the fall. Dahomey Amazon are another infantry of Dahomey not the whole infantry there were many male warriors the women were just popular coz they were women and vicious. With that said bring a source that shows that Benin ever had an “influence” on Dahomey and what the influence was and a kingdom that reign for 3 centuries is not short my guy

Yoruba see your history!!

Before the advent of missionaries and the British colonial masters to what is now Nigeria, the language spoken by the people of the south-west today identified as the Yorubas was called ANAGO. But the Hausa/Fulanis to the north of old Oyo empire called them by a derogative nick name YABA YABA/YOBA.
Therefore when the Hausa's refers to the Anago speakers of Old Oyo, they called them by that name. Sometimes it is pronounced "youba. " When the missionaties started pouring into the south-west after the abolition of slavery, they met a territory in the throes of civil wars. Old Oyo had fallen to the Hausa/Fulanis, thanks to Afonja. Ibadan was trying to enslave all the other ANAGO-speaking people. There was the the Ijaye war and the Kiriji war. It was only the Benin army that stood between Ibadan and Ile-Ife.

The missionaries, most of who were freed yoruba slaves-Bishop Ajayi Crowther was one of them, started looking for away to unite the warring Anago clans.
They also wanted to preach the GOSPEL OF CHRIST TO THE GRASS ROOT. On the other hand the British colonial administrators wanted a peaceful territory to rule over and an educated elite to work in their civil service. The missionaries therefore adopted OYO VERSION of ANAGO, which the Hausa/Fulanis have given yaba/yoba/youba as the name of the general language of the Anago-speaking group. Bishop Ajayi Crowther published the first dictionary of ANAGO as Yoruba language. Oyo became the CMS academic headquarters. It the saw the birth of St Andrew's college, Oyo which actually started as trade school in the 1800's. And gradually, very gradually the word YORUBA displaced ANAGO.
The people of the south-west today are bearing the nick-name given to them by the Hausa/Fulanis.


Fulani conquered you and changed your lifestyle and name forever. Even till today they still dey conquer una.

Obalufon:
Do you know how those people were that time running around butt Unclad in the forest ..they can't even rule them indirectly because they were savages with no standing ruling system of governance ...that is not a war just a shooting practice ....British will never count that as war the only resistance they had was in the west and north ..real war. not one naked pygmies running around in the bush with arrows

So you really believe your own lies or you just consoling yourself?
The only resistance the British encountered and remembers and still discuss till today in whole of West Africa is the War with Benin Kingdom and resistance from some Niger-Delta leaders..
Who be West (yoruba)? Yoruba that surrendered as soon as they hear single gunshot?

step1:
This is funny. Anyway let akoko, login and ekiti speak for themselves. I am from Lagos and an indigene and we are not in anyway Edo but yoruba. If you like nak your head for ground we are yorubas. The few of us that have proto Edo names like obanikoro are now yorubas because we never considered Edo different from yoruba but if you choose differently then we stick to yorubas.

It’s ok to choose Yoruba if that’s your choice, but you can not deny that probably there’s Edo blood in you and your ancestors are Edo that first settled that area.

OlaoChi:
Ogedengbe died in Ilesa
Stop your lies

So you were there when he died abi? Ok show us picture of his grave.
I’m giving u real history not fake ones.

Obalufon:
You people need to get your head out of your asses ooo Make assumption without thinking ...Yoruba are being celebrated all over the world for their rich culture and for changing stereotypical notion of white about black African..lavish and languish in your delusional mind .. Soon this country will be divided



That crown is called Aare first crown to be worn by man on earth..... it can only be seen once a year to celebrate olojo day creation of the world by eledumare Almighty God

If this country divides, Edo will reclaim Ekiti and ondo states. About half indigenes of those states are Edo.

Obalufon:
Osun were never under Benin kingdom ekiti is the boundary ..even in Lagos Benin controlled the Yoruba speaking area of isale eko while Oyo controlled Badagry Egun speaking people without war between the two brothers...Edo and Yoruba people see themselves as brothers and sisters in the past but now they are filled with venom towards Yoruba ...The attacked of benin and ore by the igbos during the civil war dragged the Yoruba into the civil war

See liar. Yoruba joined Hausa to war the igbos. Stop ur lies.

Olu317:
Just imaging the incoherent you wrote again? Do you not know, in standard English,you can't infer in this manner when refering to tribe's citizen, as, “Edo person"?What's “Edo person"? But Edo descendant/Edo citizen. Oviedo strictly mean a descendant of Edo .And Oviedo doesn't necessarily mean “a child of Edo" in a literary form you try to inform us about it but man/woman of Edo ancestry . Laugh wan kill me here......This same goes for the term, “Omo Yoruba" as Yoruba descendant and also used to refer to a child. Yoruba owns the word “omo"(child) . For example; omo pupa( light skin child),omodè(young child) omo ikòkò(baby), omomí( my child) etc. And this just showed you borrowed the word from Yoruba land. So also Itsé that Edo borrowed ,which is pronounce as asé. In fact, Edos do not know the efficacy of âsé with its deep spiritual undertone.Yes, I know Edos have many confusioning words,which is the reason,the language is going to extinction. Enjoy the bitter truth.

So Yoruba don’t have a single word to describe all those you just mentioned. Rather u mix two words together to describe it. It goes to show u borrowed the word Omo from Edo.
It is easy to understand how you got those words.. Benin kingdom once ruled over the Yorubas that’s how u got the words.

Moneywomen17:
Davidnaze the “Yoruba scholar” who u are quoting don’t they have name and show us their book now. Even with the fraud quote u plan on passing it still buttress my point that ekiti was never controlled by any Benin. Benin only engage them in war. They still maintained their own autonomy seeing as how ado fought war with not only Benin twice in 1500 and 1815 but also Ibadan Too during the kriji war like ur quote without source shows

It wasn't only Ekiti that was under Benin. Ondo, Osun, and all Eastern Yoruba states were under Great Benin Kingdom

Moneywomen17:
davidnaze come back don’t run like a coward again since yesterday I have challenged u to just name one Benin warrior who were apparently fighting in this kriji war that Benin was involved in. We know of ekiti parapo people like ogedengbe and fabunmi and co. Even ilorin that collide with Fulani u know the name of the Fulani they collide with so name one Benin man to prove ur point

Another piece copied from the research work of a Yoruba Scholar:

"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 Idagunmodo (1696-1710), Ewi Okinbaloye Aritawekun (1710-1722), Ewi Amono Ola (1722-1762), Ewi Afunbiowo (1762-1781), Ewi Akulojuorun (1781-1808), 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

…the rapid expansion of Ado brought it into conflict with Benin, another power with imperialistic designs in Ekiti. Responding to the invitation by Ado’s neighbouring states who had become unduly alarmed by the consolidation and excesses of the Ewi’s power, Benin army invaded and subjugated Ado in addition to overrunning most of the other Ekiti states some of whose ruling dynasties, as in Ikere, were replaced…’’"’

davidnaze come back don’t run like a coward again since yesterday I have challenged u to just name one Benin warrior who were apparently fighting in this kriji war that Benin was involved in. We know of ekiti parapo people like ogedengbe and fabunmi and co. Even ilorin that collide with Fulani u know the name of the Fulani they collide with so name one Benin man to prove ur point

Moneywomen, why don;t you go research if Benin conquered and ruled Eastern Yoruba states or if Benin armies fought in the kriji war. Since you can post on nairaland I assume you can also do some research on the matter instead of just shouting on here. Or are you scared to research and find out I have been telling you the truth?

anyways below is some piece I found when researching those topics. Some of them was done by intelligent Yoruba scholars.

"‘No part of Ekiti was spared the agony of imperialist invasions…The rampaging Benin armies sacked Ogotun, Aramoko, some subordinate communities of Ijero, Ado communities such as Are, Afao, Ugbo (now Ilu) Omoba and Agbado and settled a large percentage of the haul of captives therefrom in Ikere, their garrison post.
It is obvious from various studies that the Yoruba internecine wars between 18th and 19th centuries did not help but heightened diplomacy with foreign powerful states by weaker neighbouring states. For instance, Benin armies constantly waged wars of external aggressions on Ekitiland and other communities in different parts of old Ondo State in their quest for territorial expansion and control, among others. A good reference point is the Ado-Ikere relations that resulted to Benin pillage and attacks on Ado-Ekiti on several occasion. Olomola (1984:2-3) noted that Benin armies invaded parts of Ado kingdom a few times between 1500 and 1815, though its military prowess spared Ado-Ekiti the rigours of devastation due to evidence of its kinship with Ado-Ekiti. Benin was only interested in clipping Ado’s wings by either sacking Ado communities or causing a dispersal or dislocation and forced evacuation and migration of human settlements from Ado-Ekiti to other locations. Olomola further asserted that the Ewi actually devise a strategy of evacuating his capital city so that the Benin armies would not disturb the Ewi and the rest of his people in their new site. Whatever has persistently made Benin to assail Ado-Ekiti, it was evident that the human settlement was frequently unsettled or dislocated by wars and invasion. Olomola (1984:10) noted further that Ado-Ekiti landscape was turbulent and often disorganized or reinvented when he asserted thus:

‘"Ado suffered military reverses and lost considerable number of its people during the Benin and Ibadan invasions …For instance, Odo which was, before the Benin invasion a town of considerable size, broke up as the people sought the safety of rocky and forest recesses and Uyin and Igede lost part of their population in their fight against Benin in 1815 and Ibadan in 1873. Above all, Ado communities were denuded of their population and those the Benin carried away were placed in Ikere subsequent upon which its population swelled up. Ibadan armies made a huge haul of captives, running to several thousands – of Ado men, women and chief…Ado (was) more than compensated for its human loses in its wars especially in parts of Owo and Akoko from where Ado made huge hauls of captives."’

so you see moneywomen; Benin Kingdom was in control of many Yoruba states.

Moneywomen17:
my guy stop lying No Yoruba state was under Benin its only in ur mind. The owa-obokun bead is an historical one

Moneywoman please stop this self deciet. You already know Benin was in control of those youruba states up till Benin was defeated by the British.
Your kriji Wars was fought with help from Benin. And it was actually Benin defending its territory from Ibadan.
You know this already, why denying it again.

Moneywomen17:
bla bla another lie by the professional liar davidnaze nupe ruled for 1000 years how old is oyo itself. Nupe fought oyo when it was still a relative small kingdom after oramiyan left and ruled it for 100 years but oyo came back stronger defeated them took the nupe land and chase them up north and oyo emerged as an empire with other kingdom paying tribute to it. Am glad u know it was drama in ilorin not conquest the Yoruba Muslim in ilorin made what happen in ilorin possible.

Well good u know Oyo was conquered and ruled 100yrs by foreign invaders. 100yrs is a very long time.
Throughout Benin history from when it started as a small city state and throughout its existence nobody, no tribe could defeat it in battle or rule it.
Even when the British defeated us they only ruled for about 50yrs till when an Edo man started the fight for independence.

Moneywomen17:
bla bla Hausa/Fulani conquered Yoruba where coz ilorin situation arose from internal problem. Ahmed baba is a Songhai scholar not Fulani or Hausa and he wrote many books in which he wrote about Yoruba in one.

Do u know ur history or you want an Edo man to educate you?
It was Nupe that conquered Oyo and ruled them for 1000yrs while the Fulani drama was in Ilorin.

Who hire you come here is as dumb as you are.

Obalufon:
oyo will never attack benin kingdom ..tabooo..,., oyo moved far west to Benin republic and Togo were under great oyo empire from river Niger to upper volta river even defeated the great Ashanti army in atakpeme read history ..Benin kingdom moved west ondo ,ekiti Lagos were under Benin kingdom..They are brothers

But three times Oyo tried to conquer Benin and each time they (Oyo) was badly beaten up and finally forced to sign a treaty never to attack Benin again and to leave everything east of Ife for Benin. It’s all recorded.

Obalufon:
Oyo fight with cavalry not like Benin jungle fight Oyo ile KATUNGA is up north African greatest historian Moroccan Ibn Battuta visited oyo gave account of the greatness of oyo wrote about oyo African greatest scholar Ahmed baba wrote about oyo .. borgu ,bariba was even oyo vassal state equestrian cavalry fighting open war .. nupe was conquered first before they sacked old oyo... Hausa were used as slaves in OYO ..Benin is kingdom nor empire

From your post it seems it was the Hausa/Fulanis that conquered Yoruba that wrote your history.. I’m I correct?

Your Calvary was rendered useless when it tried to attack Benin kingdom. abi u never hear ?

Moneywomen17:
omo is Yoruba for child, omode or omokekere is small child. Omomo is baby. All the Yoruba word concerning child has omo attach to it unlike edo word that has Oviedo, ibieka, ovokhan so I don’t think it’s yoruba that borrow the word but u coz u also have other words for it.

.

Yoruba borrowed the word that’s why you don’t have a definite word for it rather u mix words together to describe it. Kekere is little and Omo is child so u mix them together omokekere.
In english there is baby, child, kid.

In Edo little means kere but we don’t say omokere to describe little child. We have a word for little child.

Yoruba is a mixture of borrowed language.

Moorish:
I don't mean to sound rude but I lost confidence in your assertions once you said ivory coast changed its name to Burkina Faso

Maybe it is a slight oversight. I do hope so.

Look, I think this argument has been over flogged. There is no point arguing. We are all entitled to our opinions.

I do feel sorry that me of all people had to be dragged into the name calling and insults, but some indecent people here forced my hand.

@steveosaz, I do hope at some point we in southern Nigeria can trust one another and finally challenge those in the north we see us as inferiors

We are far too fragmented, and it is doing us in.. We do not have to like each other in order to fight for our collective rights

And I want to say I am sorry to an Edo person who I offended, It was never my intention to go that route. And I do hope we can have a mutual respect for each other in the future

Thanks

Oviedo (child of Edo),you want to engage me,I will do you this last time . You see, most of you who claim to have knowledge on Bini history online ,but you are far from it as it regard Oba Bini .Was I the one or any Yoruba person that claimed Oranmiyan was the first that rode on horse? Honestly, Ignorance is a big problem for you because you sit in your tiny enclave and boast when in real life ,you are not reckon with in your folklore. You think, I will stoop so low and lie about my ancestry? Many of us aren't liars like you. In fact,I wouldn't do this online if not because liars like you exist beyond control and we need nib on the board before it get outta hand. Isn't it silly on your part that you used heavy vulgar words on my personality but in real ,you may not even be able to engage me verbally because such opportunity won't arise. This has nothing to do with wealth or pride but humane characteristics, which you lacked. Perhaps, you haven't read such before but you can read it again and digest it that you have met one person online, who is one of the direct descendant of Odudua. In fact , a direct patrilineal lineage son of Oranmiyan..... As I write this, know it that my own future descendant can be Ooni. Can't you see I am greater than Oba Bini that felt comfortable at visiting the exalted throne of Odua,which Oranmiyan and his descendants from ILE IFE has sustained for over a 1000 years?


Bitter truth is what I just handed down to you!

If it’s true you are actually descendant of Oduduwa/Izoduwa/Ekhaladeran then I can authoritatively tell you that you are an Edo man. An Edo man that is lost and roaming in Yorubalands. You should come to Benin let’s take you through the spiritual and cleansing rites.

On the other hand what is this your craze about Oviedo and Omo Edo for?
In Edo language we have different words for baby, child, kid, children.. maybe yorubas use just one word for all of them.

Omo is Edo word and it means child.
Oviedo means Edo person.
Ibieka means children
Ovokhan means young child/kid
Omomo means baby

Oviedo is a phrase not a word. If u remove the Edo, Oviee is still a phrase not a word. It means his child, or her child or someone’s child.

The Edo language is unique that’s why it’s difficult to learn easily unlike Yoruba that is a collection of borrowed words..

I’m educating you on these because you said you are an Edo man. A lost one.

But this your long essay doesn’t change the fact that Benin Kingdom conquered and ruled Yoruba people. And they did it without horses!

Moorish:
If odduduwa was the son of an ogiso as you claim, with his son ascending the benin throne, they should have continued with tradition

Why did it change to an oba dynasty then?

Just a question.. what is your aim in all this back and forth arguments?
Me I’m just trying to show Benin kingdom’s greatness, It’s might and reach and also the advancement and civilization of ancient Edo people. I’m relying on evidence in the not too distant past to prove this.

I’m not concerned about who Oduduwa, Oranmiyan or were the first Oba of Benin came from. We are all entitled to our beliefs about these mythical figures.

My point is about Benin kingdom and it’s relationship with the Yoruba states and in this case opinions don’t matter rather we will use facts and evidence.

Moorish:
Alot of the benin claims sound dodgy

piece by piece I am starting to rethink what I once believed..

growing up in your territory I was force fed this story by your people that you originated our monarchy and kingdom

But you cannot tell me why

1. Igodomigodo changed to ile ibinu
2. Heads of dead obas being buried in ife
3. Ogiso dynasty being replaced by oba dynasty

and the article about benin's first exposure to horses being when oranmiyan entered benin

and the sculpture

No smoke without fire

@olu317, we need to do more work in bringing this historical truth to light

@davidnazee I try to be a gentleman. I do not feel like exchanging pleasantries right now. Call me whatever you want, dawg..

@davidnazee You are still my brother. An african. I am not clannish

Moorish your questions don't deserve answers.

Igodomigodo changed to Edo.
Questions you should ask is if before the Europeans documented the Kingdom as Benin Kingdom did the Edo people call land benin/ile ibinu as Oranmiyan called the land? or they called themselves a different name?
It was you Yorubas that refered to it as Ile Ibinu.

Heads of dead Obas were not buried in Ife

The Ogiso system of rule is different from Oba system of rule. Its like Nigeria changing from head of state to president. or from prime minister to president. they all have different functions and powers.

Please what is it about horses? does horses represent civilization to you? Can horses survive in rain forests?

Moorish:
Guy, na una start the fight

I never hear you say one positive thing about oyo. But I did about benin

I personally believe we do not have to be friends or brothers to respect eachother

Ooni and alaafin should consolidate our nation in the west, that is, all yoruba speaking peoples in yoruba territory, including present day republic of benin, (the people of sabe, popo)

You should also go and consolidate your empire. Edo, delta, cross river and all your peoples in the south south

I think it will be a beautiful thing if benin can rise to its ancient prominence and influence (pre-colonial)

Guy we didnt start any fight. We only stated the obvious about Oduduwa and the reach of Benin Empire but your brothers took an offence at it. The only reason they will do that is because they consider Benin and south south to be minority tribes hence to them its a shame that a minority tribe will once rule over your majority tribe.
I dont see Yoruba denying Nupe invasion and conquest of Yoruba, or Fulani conquests of Yorubas. Fulani even gave you kings yet you do not deny that but you deny Benin gave you Oduduwa.

Oranmiyan came from Ife we agree but we also say he was the son of a Benin man (Oduduwa) but in my opinion I will still call him Yoruba because he was born there to a Yoruba woman and grew there. Even at that the Oranmiyan blood as been washed out of this present Oba. A thousand years is enough time to wash off any Yoruba blood in our Oba.

The British Royal family has German blood in them but you dont hear Germany calling the British monarchy german.

Moorish:
That alone is Incontrovertible proof

Oyo was renowned for its large cavalry.

You are one damn fine researcher man.

Only a fool (not insulting you) will dwell in and celebrate myths and fables.. A wise man will look at actual documents written by historians and explorers.. Those are what is considered as evidence when looking into details.
Someone like you will actually believe Oduduwa cane down from the sky on chains.

Do you think the British that wrote that article believes their own myths about Zeus and Mount Olympus?

u said Benin fought in the kriji list just one or u Ogun destroy u and ur family. What u listed above was the people u said fought vs akure in ur imiginary mind not the ones who fought the kriji war like u claim. List one bini warrior in the kriji war

My friend instead of throwing insults because I'm giving you the bitter truth, just try to do your own research about the Kriji wars. You will find that Benin army actually fought alongside Ekiti warriors, giving them assistance and logistics.
Everything about Benin Kingdom, its campaigns, expansion, its exploits are all documented and witnessed unlike the Yorubas that is only in myths and fables.

Benin wasn't only great 1000yrs ago 500yrs ago or great in myths and fables.. Benin was great up till late 19th century, just about when modern age began.

Moneywomen17:
post the article here and who beheaded ogedengbe

"The Ogedengbe of Ilesha having conquered the town of Idoani and defeated the Oras in north-west of Benin Empire, contemplated an invasion of Benin City.61 A contingent of the Benin Army under the command of Ebohon, halted the advance of Ilesha soldiers at Irhuekpen, near Ehor, the border town between Benin Kingdom and Esan chiefdoms in the north of the Kingdom. The Ilesha soldiers were defeated and the Ogedengbe killed"
