It's in your dream that Oba of Benin responded in this manner. I'm sure you weren't born then.

Don't be pained, Oba of Benin gladly and historically accepted the Ooni's statement.

I'm sure you can't deny the truth that the earlier Obas of Benin had their burial tombs in Ile-Ife. The site is called 'Orun Oba Ado' till today.

You guys (Benins) are Ife descendants, that's why your late Obas' head were being taken to Ife for interment because we Yorubas belief that a Prince's head shouldn't sleep outside.
saying that the Oba of Benin gladly accept his words is enough reason for me not to talk more with you.

the viewers are my focus so I believe they will want to know the Oba of Benin response so let them search for it by them selves

Oba erediauwa of Benin thank you visit to the ooni of ife ( Aderemi) in 1981


please stop changing history for your own benefit

That's the logical explanation ...

But Tao wants to tell us that the land owned by the Benin and named Korame as mentioned in the text was borrowed from the Portuguese due to being referenced while the name that a complete stranger gave it is the original and unborrowed one even when it was referenced by the Dutch also

This Cross dresser is the definition of double standards itself

Maybe she wants to tell us that the Yorubas influenced the Dutch... grin

let her tell us the meaning of korame in dutch or Portuguese

definitely you expect someone to name a place with a word that have no meaning in his tribe

Etinosa1234:
According to the French translation, it says that the Benin call it Korame....

Its not expected that the foreigner be able to write our word very well...

The korame doesn't have a meaning in Benin word and we don't Start words with the letter "k" and when pronouncing Ekorame, the "e" would be silent (Etrusen, hope I'm correct in this) esp if foreigners pronounce it. .

Now given the fact that Benin had more influence in Lagos(Eko)than ijebu, it's more logical that the Word Ekorame (camp of waters) given by the Benin was shortened by the Ijebus to eko... Thus Benin are the originator of the name Eko

Now if she says that korame was gotten from the Portuguese word curamo, its only logical that the korame would mean cure also in Benin as it is in Portuguese

An example of Portuguese word in Benin is spoon
Spoon means colher in Portuguese
Spoon means ekuye in Benin..

This debunks the claim that korame was a borrowed word


Samuk, areafada2, BornRicch
korame have no meaning in Benin

but Ekorame / eko_ame means camp of waters in Benin

like I said before each Eko in Benin were given the name because of the circumstances surrounding it e.g like what gregyboy said Ekosodin meaning camp of the Osodin of Benin, eko _ okhae meaning bachelors camp etc

the korame is a corrupted benin word just like Sakponba which was also corrupted from Sokponba. the corruption always come in as a result of the inability for these foreigner to speak the word

for example the first E in Ekorame is obvious when spoken by an indigene
but always silent when spoken by foreigners thereby making it sound as Korame

AreaFada2:
When I was a kid my old folks called Lagos : Eko, Ekoname, Ekoame, Ekonunuame. We understood all to mean camp.

Camp, watercamp, camp by the waters, camp by the mouth of water, actually meaning vast water body/sea.
It was never in doubt that these were original Benin ways of calling Lagos.

Korome would be in Benin as eko-name' meaning the camp of waters


Eko= camp
Ame=water
Na=the usual meaning of na

The camp of waters
that is the meaning of the word

but it's actually pronounce Ekorame not Ekorome

the word can be spoken in full as Eko ogha men.

( Eko/ra / me ) the "a" in ra came in because water is Amen thereby Removing the added "o" of Ekorome because "omen" is not water


the early EU'S that corrupted it to korame thereby removing the E.

The late Ooni of Ile-Ife, Oba Adesoji Tadenikawo Aderemi, addressed the late Oba Omonoba Ereduwa as 'the son has come to greet his father' when Oba Ereduwa came to pay him homage as the newly crowned Oba of Benin in 1979.

That statement was a reference to the paternal superiority of the Ife/Yoruba history and throne to the Benins. I've not heard of any Benin historian or chief criticising that statement till today.

The narration that the Igodomigodos descended from heaven and has no ancestral tie with Ife was a historical distortion that started in early 1900s as written by one Benin historian.

Comparative history will help you bro. Stop being emotional and sentimental.
Oga keep quiet with your half written massage,

Oga nocomment2 you did a nice job and your works are commendable.


the word "korame" originally have no connection to any foreign word or whatsoever be it curamo or anything


the word korame is originally is absolutely a Benin word the was slightly corrupted just like some others words corrupted in Africa


the word is pronounce " Ekoramen" meaning camp of waters but with time the word was shorten to just Eko


so the word korame is a corrupted version of Ekoramen


in Benin today apart from Lagos Eko, we have different Eko for example Eko okhae meaning bachelors camp etc these Eko are named using circumstances surrounding it.


talking about lagos, it is only a totally pained individual that will take it upon himself to distort history even when it is clear to all that Lagos was part of Benin before the Brits came.

unlike Hausa , Yoruba, Ibo, calabar that speak and you can easily figure out their tribe because of their tribal asset

The Akoko Edo don't speak Yoruba as their main language... They are bilingual and speak their own language

Yorubas don't even have one language... U guys have the ekiti dialect, the Oyo dialect, the Ijebu dialect, etc...

We have different languages that are derived from Benin


Well I'm pretty sure that the Edo people don't come from Yoruba land...

Maybe u should come to Benin and see what the average man think abt Yoruba...

Edo migrated from Ife. One of the sons of Oduduwa. Check history.
That's why they have an Oba as their ruler. Omonoba in Edo means Omo oba in Yoruba.

No need to be a tribal bigot anyways . Naija is one.

Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa
Oga keep quiet

am a full flesh Edo blood and someone who visit oba of Benin palace sometimes to do research

dont come here to make argument that you only found on paper without you going into ground research

Benin have existed for hundreds of years before ife

your claimed Oduduwa who was a refugee is your hero I laugh

anyway I have no time to continue with your 1930 made Obas because even the Oba of Benin during coronation said that the Oduduwa is a Benin prince

what more do you want the Benin people to tell you again that they have nothing to do with you people

the only way we can even think of having anything with you people is for you people to change that omo Oduduwa campaign because Benin is his source not otherwise


if you wish to continue arguing, that is your choice I have no time to continue baseless assumptions on someone that fell from the sky or ran a marathon race all the way from mecca
Crime › Why We Rejected Suspects Brought To Us By Amotekun Operatives – Police Explains by Etrusen(op): 12:11am On Jan 14, 2021
Oyo State Police Command on Tuesday, revealed why it rejected some suspects brought to its Mokola and Iyaganku Divisional detention facilities by some operatives of Amotekun.

According to the Command, the reason was due to their differences in policies and Modules Operandi guiding their operations.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Fadeyi Olugbenga, made this disclosure in a statement on Tuesday.

He explained that the Nigeria Police force as an organization is jurisdiction sensitive and structured in such a way that offences committed in a particular Area of Responsibility (AOR) cannot be treated in another, as this is done for efficiency and accountability sake.

His statement reads, “The news making the rounds about their refusal to admit the robbery suspects brought by Amotekun was obviously fake news to illustrate that the Police is uncooperative towards jointly combating crime with the said body.”

“The Command is committed towards partnering with sister agencies and local security outfits towards bringing the level of crime to the barest minimal in the State.”

He further explained that the Amotekun operatives had earlier visited Mokola Division where they were advised to the best of the knowledge of the receiving officers and with the information at their disposal that the Division with the AOR to best handle the case is Iyaganku Division.

He however, said that the Amotekun officers, upon getting to Iyaganku Division, the officers at the receiving end after critically analyzing the story taking its origin into consideration did not reject the suspect but directed that the suspects be taking to Agodi Division, a directive that was disregarded which led to the misconception making the rounds.

He noted that some of the suspects arrested and brought to the station by some security operatives are usually brought in terrible conditions and therefore are not admissible for detention in Police custody.

Lastly, Fedeyi called on men of various security operatives within the State to desist from inflicting serious bodily damages to suspects.
