First of all, the last war between Benin empire and Britain started in 1895 and ended in around 1900.
The British captured the capital of the empire (the capital is Benin city) in 1897 and the emperor surrendered in 1897 while some of his generals fought on untill around 1900.

And if I recollect, the Yoruba gave up to the British without a fight ! You welcomed the invading British as liberators and you just bowed down to them without a fight. While real strong African kingdoms fought and made the British pay a price for the invasion. The Yoruba just gave up like cowards. While real African kingdoms were being burnt down by the British, the same British were building houses for their Yoruba collaborators/puppets ( the ooni of ife and the alafin of Oyo).

The thing which you Yoruba keep overlooking is that you were in a better position after the invasion of the British, whereas the actual west African powerhouses were degraded by the British and their kings sent into exile or killed. That is what happened to: Benin Empire, Kano Emirate, Sokoto Kalifate, Borno emirate...

Stop distorting history.

Bini was conquered in hours.

Yoruba land as a whole was never conquered. Rather it was enmeshed in a civil war. Eventually the Brits came in to end the war. Thus we surrendered to them.

Please note that Ijebus and Egbas gave a good fight...

Yet the outside world doesn't see this superiority which you are talking about. It exists only in the mind of Yoruba supremacists.
Be it the art, the military or the architecture, the Benin empire has always been superior to the Yoruba.
Most of you Yoruba actually descend from freed slaves dumped on our shores. You are slaves trying to rewrite history in order to make yourselves masters in a past that never existed.

Which outside world Why are you guys so deluded

Freed slaves Yet you had to beg us for a prince to become your Oba

Shame on you!

But your governors have been BARRED from such a move na...

Only the SW can have Amotekun...

After bringing a known terrorist into power due to your hatred for ss/se, you want to protect yourself from the same terrorist, it will never work. The Yoruba's are bloody betrayal. They betrayed the south and voted buhari, after being warned. Having in mind that when he come into power, he will only persecute the rest of the south who didn't vote him. But now reverse is case..

[/s]

Trash!

Continue mourning the 2015 election loss...

We did what we had to do by booting GEJ out.

And events of recent have proven that GEJ wasn't it at all...

Zico5:
I think living in the same vicinity with host community is not by force if u can't maintain peace and orderliness. It's time we begin to show this fugitive and cancerworm that u must be ready to obey the rules and directions of ur landlords if u truly mean to survive here. South is not like north where u can kill and maim and nobody will ask any questions. Amotekun has come to stay in the west. Let's South East and South South come up with their formidable outfit. We are here to protect life and properties.

Why beg them to form their own Amotekun

They have been completely forbidden from taking the step. All they are stuck with is the FG 30-man per local government community policing alternative...

Only the SW will ever have Amotekun or anything like it. No other region will be allowed. It's a one-off...

Agreed.

But Amotekun in the SW states are free to collaborate...

supercase1:
Just like your father

It's Monday morning, go get busy...

ednut1:
how can you have a name for.something you dont know existed na

Why do you think they didn't know it existed

Do you think they did not have their own form of education

supercase1:
Just like your father

If I hit your flat head hard now, the mods will come and ban me...

gregyboy:
How would they know when most Yoruba's are still iliterate and all they do is go to the nearest coco farms till they die ,yorubas who cant even speak pidgin or English ,its just a little gap that makes yoruba and hausa different in Nigeria both are ridiculed with poverty states



Modify...

Lol,who cares if Yoruba dont know we exist

Everyone reads our history outside the shores of nigeria
We are visibly recognized internationally for our sophisticated history and artworks

Nigeria practise the left over of our history

A country took upon the name of the great empire

Our food egusi and pounded yam is a general delicacy in nigeria

The nigeria attire is not complete until you wear the Benin red coral beads

Lets not go deep about how our culture as eaten deep in Yoruba history

If Nigeria was to divide today we will survive on our own and also decide to ecompass Yoruba's amongst us since they had always been under the Benin rule


That statement you made up there simply arosed from bigoted pride..and nothing truthful about it

If you can tell me what the yorubas had used to surpass edo in the past and present
Then i will take you serious untill then
All you said was formed from lies

You are just deluded.

Even your 'God-like' Oba is a Yoruba man.

To start to state Yoruba superiority over Bini whether now or in the past will be an overkill and amount to waste of time...

Didn't the Brits rout the whole Benin city in just a few hours and thereafter banish your Oba to Calabar

You should even be grateful that they restored your monarchy for you otherwise...

Isn't it too early for piggiiiddiiiioottts to start taking Panadol for another person's headache

You want them to declare ab initio that arrested criminal herdsmen will be neutralised

Why are piggiiiddiiioootts so daft

snazzy5050:
not just earth worm, some other animals there are clearly pronounced in bini by the yoruba people

It is Bini that borrowed the words from Yoruba...

Their pronunciation is clearly alien to Bini.

ednut1:
95% of them have all been killed from yoruba land. Shame. There is no tiger in africa so why would yoruba have a name for it

The fact that there are no tigers in Africa doesn't mean our forefathers were not aware of its existence.

Come on!

gregyboy:
Ekolo

Is earth worm in benin

My yoruba brothers wouldn't accept we taught them yoruba language inother not to teach them the Royal benin language

Inferiority complex is disturbing you.
Bini is incomplete without Yoruba.

Yoruba doesn't even know Bini exists.

Pigggiddioottts are always excited whenever they hear their masters clash...

Slaves!

Deputy1111:
Mumu, GEJ first completed Yaradua's tenure, he was not voted for then, but was voted for after Yaradua's tenure. Let your brain work guy.

So when he was completing Yar'Adua's tenure, was it your father that was referred to as the president

My point remains that you don't have to be voted for to become president.

Dulllards everywhere...

Great!

As expected, piggiidddiotts led by Nwaamaipig have started arriving to display crass, undisguised and pathetic inferiority complex by trying to measure up to Yorubas

Yorubas set the standard for their existence.

What a shame!

Expecting MelesZenapig to take a break from trying to wish Amotekun away and come and lend his/her voice to the inferiority complex display show by fellow piggiidddiootts.

MelesZenawi:
Are you working for nations newspaper? Because only them carries such news and propaganda.

You are not wanted in APC. Chikena.

The handwriting is clear...

Ojiofor:
And who begged Buhari in the case of Imo state?

The error is about to be reversed...

Mandeyy:
Why didn't you add Nwafor Orizu?

Who is/was he

Deputy1111:
How old are You? Where were you when GEJ was voted for in 2011 as the president of Nigeria.

So GEJ first became president in 2011

Forgetful dulllards everywhere...

okefranci:
The write up said Nigeria past head of state and you are mentioning VP osinbajo,does VP among the past or present head of state ,you need to back to primary school and understand the meaning of head of state

Osinbajo was head of state for 100 days albeit in acting capacity...

Deputy1111:
Has Osinbajo ever been voted for as the president of this country Mr busybody?? You can't just be ok until you mention Osinbajo, I beg pack well.

Was GEJ voted for before he became president

Ojiofor:
Tinubu and Buhari are forcing one party state through rigging of opposition states.

Am I the one that told GEJ to go and beg Buhari to allow him to 'tactically' join APC

MelesZenawi:
Consolation price

APC is a taboo over here. It is a pure anatema...

Yorubas should hold the APC others ain't interested.

I wonder what have changed since you guys joined apc...

If. Not why. Forming amotekun even. When you're in ruling party..

Am I the one that told GEJ to go and beg Buhari to allow him to 'tactically' join APC

SE and SS should stick to PDP...

They should learn to play opposition for once in their lives...

If Ihedioha reclaims his mandate, then I know something is brewing...

It would have been confirmed that the SE/SS are deliberately being shut out of APC.

GEJ and Madam Patience's visits to Aso rock some days back may have been to sway the Supreme court to favour David Lyon.

Alas, it wasn't to be. Buhari cannot imagine himself and GEJ in the same political platform - directly or indirectly...

SE and SS must learn to play opposition for once in their political lives.

We Yorubas did it for ages and we didn't die.

Nigeria must not become a one-party state!

Whiteangel1234:
he is ok with collecting levy and regonition from politician he dont have any clear way to make it happen . Biafra will only happen when an Anambra man lead the agitation

Why didn't it happen when Ojukwu did
