He's such a copycat..
why copy the oba of benin?

No, the Oba of benin copied him.. He acquired this car several months ago.

LorDBolton:
Are you edo? If not pls shut up!

If ya'll have no respect for ur king no wahala.

It's clearly stated there 'the king can give consent'

Classless illiterate with no identity

Why are you hard on the young man? You're the one who is blinded by sentiments and whatever, there is no provision for the king's consent to perform any burial in the press release.. The only provision is that the ritual dance and coronation ceremonies will continue till December 31st except the king directs it ends earlier.. Benin people are know to be rude and arrogant which is what you've exhibited now on a public forum.

I was not born then it was what I saw when I google it and I have gone to GST text to confirm ur claim now! You kn google can give you differ history some times. Thanks though lol

You're welcome.

playerinc:
My guy, Shut up your mouth abeg. And try not to make a habit of putting your Stupidity in writing. Must you comment

But he typed the truth, benin people are so aggressive.

Qmerit:
I'm from Edo and I stay in Edo I'm surprise at him with the exposure he got and education he could think so!
If you google about Oba Ewuare 1, you would see all he stood for and what he did in 12000AD and that is what this very one said he would bring back into tradition, can you imagine that! I know it would be hard for him cause people re too expose nowadays but saying or thinking about it tells a lot about him!

Oba Ewuare 1 reigned from 1440 till 1473 not 12000 AD, you don't even know your history.

fatiaforreal:
A honest commentator on this issue can sincerely say that. I'm a Yoruba man, but I know Oduduwa was mystified, and that is what the Binis are capitalizing on to replace one lie with another lie. Ekalerdahan transformation to Oduduwa is a huge fraud.

I'm a Yoruba too and I've refused to accept that part.

FACTS ABOUT THE YORUBAS AKA AFONJAS
( 1 ) . Their story of
kingship began with Edo
prince and the Benin
recorded History .
( 2 ) . Ayayi crawder said,
little were know about
yoruba existence,
meaning they were not
part of Nigeria of today
boarder or were in small
settlement close to
dahomy. yoruba are half
muslims and those with
African traditions copied or got them from Benin
civilization . I doubt if they not immigrants from dahomy
mix with Benins or other fulani- hausa from Niger
. Bishop Samuel Adjayi Crowther (c . 1809 – 31
December 1891 ) Was the first African Anglican bishop
in Nigeria . Born in Osogun (in today's Iseyin Local
Government, Oyo State , Nigeria ) . His grandson was
Herbert Macaulay
( 3 ) . Yoruba have dublicity of kingship with the process
highly politized to being traditional . A system they try
copy from Benin but can 't get it real like the Benin
Kingdom. Edo Obaship is one of the most revered
institutions in the world because of the way it has
sustained its awesome prestige with strict and
meticulous attention to ancient traditions of valour ,
discipline and integrity . Edo chieftaincy titles cannot be
bought or conferred on non- indigenes or frivolously .
Every Edo chief performs a peculiarly sacred duty
and responsibility to the people of Edo. It does not make
sense , therefore , to think that a people who would not
and have never conferred their chieftaincy titles on non-
indigenes, would voluntarily invite , accept, or surrender
to non- indigenes as their kings . Due to celestial
origins , the Edo monarch cannot eat out and cannot be
diverted from full time palace duties to hustle
for contracts .
( 4 ) . Most of today
yoruba religion are
Benin Origin , Olokun ,
Ogun , Iha oguega (ifa ) ,
oronmila, Esago
(shango ) , Ayelala etc .
Many Benin traditions
and spirituality are
stillfully documented by
yorubas in high places
as YORUBA ? (Never mind the Edo man ' s christian
mindset quickly dening Edo have niothing to do with
African traditional religion , agreeing they are foriegn to
Edoland . . . LIE ) .
Although the Great Edo ( Benin ) Kingdom were not major
participants in the trans- Atlantic slave trade , because
the Obas (Kings ) believed that their subjects were too
valuable to sell away , and their noblemen had need of
war captives on their own farms , the influence of Edo
religion and medicine has still been substantial upon
the people of the Americas .
According to Mason (1996 ) , it has been widely
accepted that Olokun ( god of the sea ) worship
originated with the Edo and spread to the Yoruba ( p. 2) .
In fact, the most prominent part of Edo cultural
traditions that has made its mark in the New World is
Olokun worship. Olokun (god of the Waters ) worship
originated from Urhonigbe and then became prominent
at Ughoton around the Ethiope ( Olokun) River . The
priesthood and rituals were firmly established at the
time . Some of the possible points of contact happened
early. During the Ogiso Period , trade with the Yoruba
and Igbos was quite extensive. Olokun worship may
have spread to those areas through traders . Prior to the
Oba Period , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was initiated into
Olokun as a chief Priest while he stayed at Ughoton ,
before his moving westward with his followers to
establish Ilefe ( Ero , 1999 , p . 108- 109) .
Once he arrived , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa brought Edo
traditions to those areas and was a King of his new
community called Ilefe , which could be what yoruba call
IFE. . From Ekaladerhan Izoduwa ’ s loins , the Yoruba
dynasties may have began. However, it is certain that
Olokun is an Edo divinity whose worship spread to the
outlying Yoruba areas.

I have been through this issue with people who are vast in your history but it won't do me any harm if I school you too.
Please I need you to shed light on some "facts" stated in your comment above, Olokun (god of the sea) or (god of the waters) Benin kingdom has never been close to the ocean abi you don see ocean for your local government? Yorubaland is surrounded by the sea and Olokun literally means he/she that owns the sea.... Okun is sea in yoruba language just like Olorun; he that owns the heaven
The only documented and verifiable fact about benin empire not bini people started from 1180 when it was established, you may not know but I will definitely state it that bini people, benin empire are descendants of igodomigodo and their kings are known as ogiso not oba, the Oba era began with the establishment of benin empire in 1180 but yorubaland has been existing before then. The people who lived in Yorubaland, at least by the seventh century BC, were not initially known as the Yoruba, although they shared a common ethnicity and language group. The historical Yoruba develop in situ, out of earlier (Mesolithic) Volta-Niger populations, by the 1st millennium B.C.E.
Archaeologically, the settlement at Ife can be dated to the 4th century BC, with urban structures appearing in the 12th century. We're all refined here and shouldn't use oral traditions or myths which we know may have been exaggerated over time as a point when we comment. The yorubas have a history that predates the establishment of benin empire in 1180 and these are documented but I keep wondering about the documented history or artifact of igodomigodo before 355 BC because even the igodomigodo dynasty was not dated until recently by one of their wack websites which means it is not verifiable.
The Benin empire took advantage of a scattered region by capturing those regions but this ended with the establishment of the Oyo empire in 1600.
I will only reply if you can give us verifiable facts of the existence of the bini people or igodomigodo dynasty (ended 1091)before yoruba please don't cite oral tradition or myths.
Benin is not Yoruba and Yoruba is not benin
*AFONJA is used for someone from ilorin in kwara state because they are his descendants after he betrayed Oyo Empire when he conspired with Alimi a Nupe warlord to breakaway from Yorubaland, only dimwits will call the the yorubas descendant of Afonja.

You're right my brother, Festac 77 was the Pandora box that we opened and here we are 39yrs after.

martineinstein:
if u dont understand what d lady is saying,keep shut....brtitish destroyed bini kingdom and looted her treasury in 1896...bronze works and artefacts that were kept in oba palace for hundreds of years were stolen and sold in europe and US...benin kingdom was d most civilised black empire in medievial era.they made d largest earthen construction ever in history of mankind

You're wrong my good friend, the greatest and most civilized black empire in medieval era was the Songhai Empire.

Ubenedictus:
I refered to obagodo to show u dat the word oba is a bini word, just as d yorubas have obamakin, obatala, they werent titles per se, they were part of a name jus like obagodo.

Nobody is saying ife came from benin, it is quite possible dat both ife and benin is dated 4th cent ad, d issue is oduduwa, Hope u know oodua met people already in ife when he came? no one is saying benin is d origin of ife and d yorubas but dat oduduwa was a stranger to ife.

Any yoruba that disputes the fact the oduduwa is a stranger to ile ife is yet to understand the true history of yoruba....... I know oduduwa met some people in ile ife.

Ubenedictus:
This is just ignorance, only eweka has a yoruba name among d bini king erediauwa is a bini word so is ewuare, ewedo, ozolua etc.

the word oba has been used in benin before oramiyan even existed and be4 oduduwa was born. one of d early ogiso in benin was name oba godo, it means 'he shines brightly' this was before ife even had a central monarchy.

The first Ogiso not Oba was known as Igodo or Obagodo and it wasn't pronounced or written as a title it was his name. You're fiddling and twisting your history just to suit your half baked knowledge, benin kings started using the title " Oba" in the 1180's when it became an empire and not during the igodomigodo dynasty. Your kings were referred to as ogiso before that, you can only win this arguement if you give me a verifiable reason for the change of title in 1180's.

Archaeologically, the settlement at Ife can be dated to the 4th century BC, with urban structures appearing in the 12th century (the urban phase of Ife before the rise of Oyo, ca. 1100-1600, is sometimes described as a "golden age" of Ife).
The 4th century BC started the first day of 400 BC and ended the last day of 301 BC. It is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period.
Igodomigodo dynasty existed between 335BC to 1093AD so tell me how you are the cradle of yoruba?

Ubenedictus:
Edo is a minority tribe. . .yes and so? a huge part of northern nigeria descended from d nok group and d nok group is even extinct. small tribes have been originating larger groups, isreal as a nation reportedly come from a small village called ur.

Where were you when men were discussing this ish? Yorubaland has been in existence even before your ancestors the igodomigodo not to talk of the rise of benin empire in the 1180's

First generations schools will always have the privilege of having their products in top positions in all sphere of life.
Igbobi College, CMS Grammar school, my alma mater Eko Boys' High School, St Finbarrs, etc. Anyone that attends these schools will always be proud of them.

Without Kings College this list is fit for the trash

We beat Igbobi boys all day day everyday in everything, back in them days though.

CMS Grammar School Bariga, Lagos. #numerouno

that's a lie..... Igbobi boys are known for rascality and no school on the mainland can boast of ever trashing them..... In the 90's sha.

codemaniacs:
Ijebu is not a tribe.. it is a village in Yorubaland.. states were created after the civil war in the 1960s.. it is foolish of anyone to identify himself/herself by state ..

You are a very divisive person

I think I need to stop this arguement because I've never heard of anyone who failed to identify himself/herself by state.. And yes, I'm divisive to those who have no historical background or who have lost their heritage.

codemaniacs:
there's no such thing as true lagosians... that you are using a Yoruba moniker does not make you a Yoruba person.. Aworis are Yorubas, same way Ijebus are Yorubas no one is more Yoruba than the other..

You say "you can't be blinded by ethnic whatever" but that's exactly what your post is indicating

Now I'm sure you're still learning but I won't be doing any harm if I school you. Every tribe in yoruba land has their place of settlement. The ijebu are native to ogun state which is why they always claim ikorodu and Epe were extracted from ogun state because they are ijebu, I'm Ilaje and just because we have a street in lagos or some parts of Bariga and Ajah were named after my LG doesn't make me a true lagosian ( by origin) though I'm a lagosian by birth. I know you will argue that all Americans are true Americans so I won't even go there at all.

codemaniacs:
I'm not arguing with you... I compare events of the present to events of the past and I come to a logical conclusion... you're bini so you would say or do anything that boosts your ego..

I laugh at your illogical conclusion,how could you compare the events of the past that you never experienced with this present event. have you tried to Google my moniker which is actually my surname? I'm more yoruba than you are because I'm proud to use it as a moniker I can't be blinded by ethnic whatever. I bet you never know before now that the Aworis are the true lagisians and you can still find them at isheri olofin, Agboyi and Ogudu.

codemaniacs:
Anyone can write rubbish on wikipedia, stop believing what you read and apply common sense to what you read online... look around you how many bini speaking people are currently in Lagos...

And this is where I will stop arguing with you, you can get your scholarly article from Wikipedia but you're rejecting this fact because it's too blunt. You don't expect me to believe this oral ******* you posted here.

codemaniacs:
Lagos was never a "war camp"... Lagos was an agricultural settlement controlled by the yorubas.. it was also used as a center of trade with the yorubas allowing people of other tribes to make trades..

the yorubas from time memorial have been welcoming and tolerant. you can't get facts of bini people because they were originally a sub-yoruba group with a slightly different language that's why the yorubas allowed them have a kingdom...

If the binis were that powerful they would have more population than the yorubas...

"Eko" was infact a war camp after Benin empire captured it not before. Lagos was originally inhabited by the Awori subgroup of the Yoruba people in the 15th century,who called it "Oko". Under the leadership of the Oloye Olofin, the Awori moved to an island now called Iddo and then to the larger Lagos Island.In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called "Eko" under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time.

GworoChewinMaga:
Nigeria does not owe Lagos a damn thing!

The sea ports you boast off plus all other major infrastructure in Lagos was built using oil proceeds.

Nigeria has well over 800km of coastline with Apapa and Tin Can ports not having berthing space of more than 5km max.

If the other coastal cities in the Niger Delta were developed with their rightful proportional revenue from their oil wealth which happened to have been diverted to Lagos, Abuja and Kano do you think your overcrowded slum village can compete?

If anything Lagos owes Nigeria and not the other way as the financial transactions entered in Lagos are geared towards other regions and not only Lagos.

And finally, what is this useless appellation for?

You guys ridiculed and dismissed the last confab as a waste of time which was meant to start Nigeria back on the road of genuine restructioning only for you to now employ almajiri tactics to beg for more money to fund Lagos?

FYI : Salt was a major trade commodity in the trans sahelian trade with Borno providing salt from Lake Chad. Some of the salt mined from the salty beds of the Chad lake found their way inland. And if you must know before any yoruba set foot in Lagos, the Binis had already occupied it as a war camp. You guys should as a matter of urgency stop claiming Lagos as a yoruba achievement because you had little or nothing to do with its initial occupation, development and financial progress.

Please I need you to shed light on some "facts" stated in your comment above, truly we know "Eko" means war camp and it was used for that purpose by benin empire. The only documented and verifiable fact about benin empire not bini people started from 1180 when it was established, you may not know but I will definitely state it that bini people, benin empire are descendants of igodomigodo and their kings are known as ogiso not oba, the Oba era began with the establishment of benin empire in 1180 but yorubaland has been existing before then.

thIs only shows ur ignorance odeoba is a bini word, it comes from ode which means road and oba, odeoba means d oba's road, it is not ojudeoba, it is odeoba.
stop pontificating on what u dont know.

benin is not a breakaway tribe, it existed side by side with ife from antiquity.

you agree with me that benin is a minority group, So how can a minority group claim to be the root of a major group? All yoruba tribes relate to ile-ife not benin.

KingOvoramwen1:
If dem born you well enter Benin or Warri with this your mentality you will learn why those yoruba immigrants in benin are very docile and meek hahaha.......... infact we call them Bingos

how can you say ayelala is a variation of benin language? It's a deity worshipped in my town and no ethnic group in yorubaland has ever dragged it with us...... Benin is just a mixture of confused people, read the first post and tell me what ODEOBA really means in benin, we know it's a yoruba word and it means king road it can also be broken down to OJUDEOBA or O/ju/o/de/o/ba. Can you explain why you remain a minority in Nigeria if indeed you're the source of yoruba heritage....... To us (yoruba) you're just a breakaway tribe just like ilorin ( the descendants of Afonja and Alimi).
