so you ashamed of your useless Edo heritage...

Your sisters even came pregnant

Balogunodua:

Lolzzz....

We all know who the real undisputed slaves are in Nigeria those whose sisters, aunties and mothers are been trafficked on daily basis all over Europe for prostitution...haha...what a shame

Were they capture nope, were they sold by their people nope, were they chained nope, were they made to work in farms nope

You need slap too much hausa food on your brain northern man

babtoundey:


With what evidence? You think pounded yam is popular only among Nigerian tribes? How can a sane person open his mouth and say bread is a British food while jollof-rice is an American food. Making statements like this telltale of your immaturity.

Go to gregyboy profile and read the thread on egusi and pounded is edo food

Lol, you're teaching the same delusional people who claim Awolowo drank rat poison or that Buhari has been cloned?
The same Dahomean Amazons that were ferociously massacred in Abeokuta which made Rev Ajayi Crowther to greatly despise Ghezo because he couldn't understand why Ghezo would deliberately put women in harms way?
According to Rumi, "you can beat 40 scholars with one fact, but you can't beat one idiot with 40 facts." So, expecting all these ill-educated IPOB and Bini kids to make historical facts their watchword is like teaching poetry to goats. I salute your patience and perseverance in teaching and educating these nitwits though. It's not easy.

Go find work

samuk:


You never missed an opportunity to misinform the gullible and less informed. You prey on people's ignorance alot, I don't know if this is deliberate or you are just less informed yourself or you don't think about your logical conclusions before you present them.

You start by presenting a faulty narrative to prepare your gullible students and then support your hypothesis with unrelated citations to make your argument look and sound authentic.

Your submission and citations doesn't explain how some genetically Edo people ended up in America.

Reasons why your logic is faulty:

According to your own citations/reference, the raids into Edo North by either the Nupe or Ibadan happened after the middle of the 19th century.

1. Your reference didn't say that Edo villagers were captured and sold into slavery, this is your assumption.

2. By the later part of 19th century when these raids in Edo North were said to have occurred, transatlantic slave trade was already banned in America. See below.

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that provided that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect on January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution.
Long title: AN ACT to prohibit the importation of slaves, into any port or place within t...
Effective: January 1, 1808
Enacted by: the 9th United States Congress

3. Though there were still illegal trades in slavery up till 1870, most of the cargoes went to the sugarcane and cotton plantations of the Caribbean.

4. People of Edo origin/heritage could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through other means but not through your wishful thinking.

5. There are people and tribes from Lagos, eastern Yoruba, south east, south south and middle belt Nigeria that traces their origins to Benin. Edo indigines could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through anyone of these people/tribes not through Nupe and Ibadan raids in Edo North in the middle to late 19th century when Benin was in decline.

6. I have already disproved that Ogane couldn't be Ife, please stop deceiving people with it.

7. Archeological study of Ife dates the earliest settlements to the first decade of 16th century. Ogane/Benin history was recorded in the 15th century.

8. Ogane was said to be in the opposite direction from Benin, not the direction of Ife.

9. Ogane was said to be a 20 moons or months travel from Benin and a distance of about 900 miles, Ife is less than 200 miles from Benin and the journey couldn't have taken 20 moons or months.

10. Ogane does not sounds like Ife, Oduduwa or Ooni.

11. Please don't tell me that there were artworks found in Ife older than 16th century, even if this is true, which I doubt, it doesn't prove they were made in Ife.

12. Hope you will not come back with insults as usual after you have been lectured.

Thsee days she is becoming exhausted, although
She is fooling her people but deep down she is battling her conscience that she has lost


There is still higher probability that those visitors mistook benin republic for benin city

And if it was edo people, it would be likely edo north which i doubt myself , if those raids on edo north were successful, why haven't we heard of nearby tribes bouldering edo north as slaves returneess

Those people are from benin Republic
Like kogi, igala and co.....

this boy you dey mad! you still dey drag food again? dem record am say na Edo first they pound yam ni, ema WO were yi sha

Can you prove piunded yam and eguisi is yoruba

TAO11:
Apparently, the Yoruba language came to the rescue of all West African slaves, including the Edo slaves who both at home and in slavery were subjected to the Yoruba language. Wonderful!
——————

In the video report below, many African-Americans of Edo ancestry trace their roots back to the Edo kingdom of Benin.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxDve0rwQbM

Yes, African Americans. Yes, the same people whose ancestors found themselves in the Americas via the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Yes, they trace themselves back home to Benin kingdom.

Now I know your insecurity and defense mechanism would kick in to cause you to pretend to be unsure of how their Edo ancestors got enslaved and sold off in the first place. Lol.

Well, the testimony obtained from the Edos themselves by the late Professor R. E. Bradbury during his ethnographic survey of Benin kingdom is very telling in that regards.

Refer to the embedded image below (from page 112 of R. E. Bradbury’s “The Benin Kingdom and the Edo-Speaking Peoples of South Western Nigeria”, 1957) for some educative information in that regards:

www.nairaland.com/attachments/12815289_bca0e87c457845658417dc2c4adc4a37_jpeg_jpegcb02a2c075079f7291fc168ee37e91ea

Now, that you’ve found out how your people were enslaved and sold-off by the Yorubas, the difference you must now realize is that many Yorubas who were sold-off fought their freedom back home.

However, all the enslaved Edos (on the other hand) remained slaves in the Americas perpetually ad-infinitum.

Probably they are benin republic not benin

Pounded yam is now Benin...!
How about jollof rice, salad, bread and butter? Don't you think they sound Edo too? Slow boy.

With time, we will e hearing from you folks that the seat of Olodumare is an extension of your empire.

Pounded yam and eguisi is edo

Ewedu and amala is yoruba food

Ideadoctor:


small boy,go to Google and type African most popular tribe, after that type Santeria and candomble,after that type,ife art,aft[s]er that type the Yoruba people, after that type Nigerian greatest cultural festivals[/s] after that type origin of the Cuban clave music, after that type Bahia culture, after searching the above compare it with your small Benin investment

Santeria and candomble = the religion of slaves



Ife art =not made by ife people called ife art because it was found at ife


The one i stoked would be a foolish search


The ones i left unstroked reminds me yorubas slavery which you should be ashamed of

Comparing benin influence international to that of yoruba is useless

LukasPodolski:


APC candidates for 2019 election

Buhari -------- Fulani
Osinbajo ------- Yoruba


PDP candidates

Atiki ------ Fulani
Obi ------ Igbo

so the Yoruba people should abandon option 1, that has their very own Son as the VP and choose option 2 ?

you're a deranged fellow, oloriburuku, oloshi omo orikiran, it shall never be well with you, in Jesus name, AMEN.

just seeing that the degenerate was the same gregyboy block head boy that I crushed on the Ogun state thread, wasting my time on a demented fool since morning...

Ogun kee your father there.

Ogun kill you there, you and your mother


Ooh so it is understandable voting for a tyrant who has been killing your people because the vp is yoruba

Why didnt you vote goodluck because he is from southeen nigeria despite your reason you claim yorubas didnt vote him

You guys are so much inlove with the north

Slaves and master

Atleast ibos and south south voted massively for mko abiola despite him been a theif (itt)


And i am not gregboy

LukasPodolski:

and why should Azikiwe be allowed to be the premier of Western region? are you mad or what?

would you allow a Fulani man from Zamfara to be the governor of Edo State??

You're mad Nnamdi had first
got the support from yoruba people until the rat poison awolowo poisoned their mind and turned it into a tribalistic bait against him


Nigerian politics then was tribaless until awolowo introduced it

LukasPodolski:

If you see nothing wrong in Ibos Supporting Balewa, Shagari and Bashir Tofa in 1959, 1979/1983 and 1993 over a fellow Southerner.

then Yorubas voting for Buhari over Jonathan shouldn't be wrong either.

except you're mad.

And youruba voting for buhari the second time against an opposition that has igbo as its vp

Is understandable right

LukasPodolski:

I really do not want to reply you again, because you're a fool.

now to set the record straight.

BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR.

1959 ---- Nnamdi Azikiwe had the opportunity to become the prime minister by forming the government the government with Awolowo, but instead, he formed the government with Tafawa Balewa, He preferred the ceremonial president to prime minister.

1964 ------ same thing.


AFTER THE CIVIL WAR

1979 ----- Igbos voted for Shagari over Awolowo


1983 ----- Igbos voted for Shagari over Awolowo


1993------ Igbos voted for Bashir Tofa over MKO Abiola
here is the result of 1997 election, Bashir Tofa won in Imo, Enugu and Abia, while Abiola only won in Anambra.
https://www.nairaland.com/4275494/june-12-1993-election-results

2011------ Yorubas voted for Goodluck Jonathan, he won massively in 5 states (Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun ) he lost in only one state, Osun


2015 ----- Yorubas voted against Goodluck Jonathan, after 4 years of insults and marginalization.




the only time a Southern candidate (non Yoruba) contested under a major party was in 2011 and 2015, the candidate won in 2011 and lost in 2015


now who is the northern slave ?

Lol awolowo who used tribalism against azkikwe
Whem he contested as the primier of western region... You want him to form a political government with him
The truth is everyone saw the truth about awolowo, it was not only the east that voted against awolowo the whole south did

The edo people had align with ncnc to liberate herself from western region against AWOLOWO PARTY

Have any yoruba man voted for an eastern man,
Igbos and ss voted for obasanjo heavily


Awolowo was too corrupt and self centered that's why at the end he drank rat poison

Mko was massively voted for from the east and ss


You make me angry yoy sound like a boy, which you're not,

Show me result table were sw voted for an igbo man for presidency

Goodluck elections was because they had no choice that's they voted for him

LukasPodolski:

so the ibos/ SS were right to vote against Awolowo twice and MKO Abiola once, but Yorubas are slaves for voting against Goodluck Jonathan once..

wonderful.

bye bye

Apology to Mr seyi360 , this thread looks promising but was hijacked by a fool, though I played a part in it.

Igobs and ss should vote for awolowo after, he prosponed the plan that starved and killed millions of them well done, you hear

Which southerner didnt vote mko which southerner, can you imagine the nonsense of a table you brought to me


Lastly my question is how many times have the sw voted for ss or even se for presidency they would rather give their vote fo a northern man, how many times have they step down to allow a se man run for presidency


You dey talk nonsense

gomojam:
Be proud of your Edo heritage oga.

I am so as my yoruba heritage which you deniel me off

LukasPodolski:

Attached is a table showing Yoruba and ibo/SS voting pattern since Independence, but one Edo foolish boy who probably got deported from Sicily, Italy is talking trash.

The Yorubas have always being in opposition, until 2015.

Obasanjo wasn't Yoruba preferred candidate, PA Olu Falae was the preferred candidate, they voted against Olu Falae.
Apparently, the only time Yorubas were in the centre government was 2015-- till now.

Nonsense list, the person who made that list is a biast,

is it only east that is in the south...? I guess not

How many times have the yorubas voted for the east for presidency or even a south south person if not for luck goodluck succeeded yaradua, i bet ss would still not have presidency till datw, when it matter most you yorubas voted him out, for a northern man, so that 2023,will be yorubas

i can count how many times ibos voted for Yoruba presidency, but the other way round is zero


When i saw tafawa balewa on the list i laughed at your screenshot, why was there even a coup if east voted tafawa balewa like your list claim ,

The coup was plotted by the eastern people because they felt tafawa didn't deserve the seat and here you are bringing rubbish list

LukasPodolski:

Firstly, Etinosa1234 , valirex , gregyboy , why is your brother not proud of his Bini heritage? could that be because of what Bini is known for? I mean, Witchcraft, Prostitution (both local and international), ilegal migration? what?

secondly, how many times did Yorubas voted for a northern candidate over a southern candidate? just once, and that's was in 2015.

while the duo of SS and SE voted for a northern candidate over a SW Candidate 3 times.

Twice against Awolowo
once against MKO Abiola.

that's 3 against 1... hahaha

but this degenerate born of a wh*re Bini mother thinks Yorubas who only voted for a northerner against Southerner candidate ONCE, Are more of a slave than them that does the same 3 TIMES.

Interesting.

Skul miners you still have the audacity to call edos prostitute with your dirty women

Cooking near gutters and letting their children shit close to were they cook

And yet with all these sins you have in your culture against humanity you still have mouth to call out edo

You dont want to mess with an ikale man that i am


We should vote for awolowo who oppressed fellow Southerners tribe, edo and Delta for how many years, even attempting to yorubanise them

Do you know how many times we yoruba have voted for the north

How our yoruba people in kwara aligned with fulanis in kwara to stop the yoruba governor from removing the emir stool


How yorubas voted out a southern for a northern 2015 and the last general election were ekiti, osun and ondo voted for buhari despite the outcry on fulani invasion in the west


We yorubas are better than this, we yorubas are not coward to the north

I would embrace my yoruba and edo heritage and i will openly corret anyone who is wrong openly

God bless Yoruba and edo people with all southerners

LukasPodolski:

And who is proposed Southern Nigeria uniting to fight against?

Who is talking of fighting, even if we have to fight the north our yoruba people will sell us out and endanger the rest tribes

LukasPodolski:

You're still saying nonsense.

Yorubaland are so kin on Northerners? I don't understand can you explain this to me?


there is nothing like Southern Nigeria unity, SW which is home to Yoruba people is entirely different from SE and SS.
Yoruba is a different and unique ethnic group, we have nothing in common with Ibos in SE and SS Minorities. do we?
likewise the Fulanis and Hausas up north, we don't have anything in common.

why are you obsessed?

We yoruba have, am yoruba myself we would rather lobby with a northern than befriend a southerner, we so much love them for no reasons

That's why most times i rather align with my edo heritage than that of my yoruba heritage

I hate it when we befriend those northerners

If i was from another tribe and i heard you speaking i would believe you once, because of my little knowledge, but am yoruba myself and i see it glaring particularly the muslim yoruba who would side a northern than is own yoruba people

A nilo yorubaas lati yipada

LukasPodolski:

Here is your profile showing that you're from Edo, you're an edoman claiming Ondo.

Probably, you're a middle aged man, with grown up kids, but behaving like toddlers on the internet.

Why do people behave like primary school kids on social media?

Am from ondo, my families were originally from benin, so i identify with my heritage

Both of my heritage to be precise....

LukasPodolski:

what is your problem?

he said he prefers learning Hausa to ibo, why can't you respect his choice?

is it by force to learn ibo? anyone can learn whatever he/she likes, be it German, French, Efik, fulani, Ibibio, Tiv etcetera.

as a Yorubaman, I'm not planning to learn a second local language, because I don't need it, I only understand English and Yoruba, this is my choice, and I expect people to respect my idea.

please act like a sensible fellow.

too many dumb fools on this forum, gosh.

My question is not centered to him only to all yorubas who are so kin to northerners i dont know why our people so love Northern who dont even see us as brother's

We are finding difficultties to unite with other southerners but here we are lobbying the north who are endegering our people

How long will yoruba continue like this, is it a curse for us

seyi360:


Not necessarily, it's simply logical for me to know how to blend with the Northerners as a Southerner.

Finding how to blend with a northerner, nawa
Ooh, u don blend southerners finsh

Why yoruba people always dey drag our leg go meet northerners

Masters and slave

If you learn igbo, edo, calabar here in the south na bad thing
