Exotik i am not responded to you anymore. Are u the same weave wearing fool from the other thread who thinks all  men dont liek nappy hair? Go take your non self esteem having self to another thread.

All Africans look exotic. I am not saying anything else to you because you are ignorant.
sharrap there, idi0t. the only ignorant fool on this thread is no-one but ur dumbass. i am tired of you google and wikipedia scholars who after reading some shyte on the internet, think they can make valid statements about people they have never seen or lived with. get lost. ode.
CultureRe: Nigerian Woman Are More Beautiful Then East Africans by exotik: 4:16am On Nov 16, 2011
blacklibya, come o, u have not seen a lot of things and have not met a lot of people but u are making a lot of generalisations?? why?

and like i said, the people who complain are those based in the US and part of dat complain also comes from your AA women. and i guess these women complain because of how AA men put them ethiopians and east africans on the pedestal and then criticize every other thing about west africans and AA women because they have same west african features. and u guys seem to be particular about hair and dat is your "biggest gripe" with AA women coz  they don't have so-called "real hair" and opt to wear weaves. so it is a problem reserved for black women in the US and not nigerian women.  and btw, i doubt u will ever see nigerian women comparing themselves to east africans, they compare themselves to each other. igbo vs yoruba/ hausa/ edo/fulani/etc who is prettier and NOT with east africans.

and blacks in libya identify as black? it is the media who identify them as black because of their skin color not the people themselves. and  im pretty sure the people themselves have their ethnic identify that they identify with and it will definitely not be "black"

I have not met a single one that thinks they look exotic, however they all think ethiopians look exotic.
^^
dat was funny! but did u have to lie just to support your weak argument? and btw, does "exotic" translate to beauty? it is only dumbass AA males like u dat take the word "exotic" and give it a whole new meaning.
CultureRe: Nigerian Woman Are More Beautiful Then East Africans by exotik: 2:51am On Nov 16, 2011
btw blacklibya, from all the dumbass comments you have made here, haven't you proven to be obsessed with them?

let's see:

- even though ethiopian and east african women straighten their hair, you only have problem with nigerian and west/ african women who do.

- even though ethiopian and east africans bleach their skin, you pardon them and your gripe is with nigerians and west/central african women

- even though nigerians have been able to preserve 250 native languages even after going thru "european colonialisms" while ethiopians speak english even though they did not go thru colonialism, yet your issue is with nigerians for speaking english.

so it is clear like a poster rightly observed, u have a "fetish" for ethiopians. and that makes u the typical AA male who has a weird obsession for ethiopians and east african women, while AA women don't give a shyte about them.

- and oh, even though u believe u  are from mali/senegambia, u are repping "BlackLibya" when the "black" people in libya do not identify as black. no wonder u are lost.

and whot was the purpose of the whole thread? an east african to come tell us we should be proud of our features and not to think east africans are more beautiful? as if we needed someone to come tell us dat. i know u will have something dumb to say as a response and it is always amusing to read. oya carry go.
CultureRe: Nigerian Woman Are More Beautiful Then East Africans by exotik: 2:23am On Nov 16, 2011
someone claimed that AA men are obsessed over Ethiopian women. Which derailed the entire thread.

@ exotic, thats my opinion.respect it! My capital is owerri and no offense but standing both cities side by side is like standing hulk hogan and danny devito side by side, lol.
lol, why should i respect your opinion when u are talking trash? and your state capital is owerri, the HQ of osu in nigeria and u are talking about the festishness of another city? the more reason u need to sharrap there. owerri is the hulk hogan for sure when compared to benin, the hulk hogan of every thing bad.

@phathom

Really Bad roads,no businesses in the place,insecurity, terrible architecture,fetishness,
sharrap there. no businesses in benin yet it is the sixth most populous city in nigeria. so what are all those people doing there if there are no businesses?
the major roads in benin are in good condition and the bad ones are under reconstruction. benin is not the HQ of boko haram and not the HQ of other criminal activities in nigeria, so wft are u talking about? and if u are not a fetish person, how the hell did u identify the fetish people of benin, and then tagged the whole city as "fetish?" and are the buildings in your state capital better than those in benin? abeg go sleep jor!

wot does this name mean in yoruba? this sounds edoid to me.

more like a corruption of osanaga obamekhin

meaning

osanaga -- the god to serve
obamekhin -- i am the king

so it would be nice to know the yoruba meaning.

LOL STOP THERE ,

And where are you going with your distortions, cos i know you are an IGBO MAN.
lol, u are posting a lot of google shyte that has still not answered the question. where in any of the articles does it say the itsekiris are yorubas? btw whats wrong with being igbo? they are quite cool when dem never smoke igbo grin
CultureRe: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by exotik: 8:48pm On Nov 08, 2011
emmatok:
The Awujale even mentioned (2004) that the Itsekiri (an eastern Yoruba dialect) are speaking the original Ijebu language.

Oral tradition has it also that when the Yorubas came from South of Egypt they did not go straight to where they now occupy. They settled at Illushi, some at Asaba area – Ebu, Olukumi Ukwunzu while some settled at[b] Ode-Itsekiri( The Itsekiri's historical capital)[/b],.”

OK?
so because the ewu-jale, a jebu-shyte said it, does that mean the itsekiris are also jebu-shytes? how about the jebu-shytes speaking an original itsekiri language? but anyways, all dat still do not answer the question. do the itsekiris identify as yoruba coz im yet to meet one who does both on the internet and in real-life.
CultureRe: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by exotik: 6:25pm On Nov 08, 2011
no matter how you spin this the itsekiri's are a tribe of mixed origin but they have a significant yoruba ancestry
hmmm, i cant remember saying otherwise coz there is no tribe does not have mixed origin in nigeria. but do they identify as yoruba?

anonymous6:
ITSEKIRI
"The Itsekiri monarch is known by the title 'Olu of Warri'. The Itsekiris speak a language very closely akin to Yoruba and Igala but which has also been significantly influenced by other languages particularly Portuguese, Edo (Benin), English and a few borrowings from neighbouring Ijo and Urhobo languages. Although linguistically related to the Yoruba ethnic group, however, the Itsekiris are of very mixed ethnic origins (primarily of Yoruba (Ijebu, Ilaje,Ondo and Owo), Edo, Igala, Urhobo,Ijo and Anglo-Scottish and Portuguese descent) and are today mainly Christian (Protestant and Roman Catholic) by religion"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itsekiri_people
wow!! a lot of mixture going on in there but where in the article did they say they are yoruba? it only says they are close akin to not only yoruba but with igala

and this is what the igalas had to say:

Igala are an ethnic group of Nigeria. Igala practice a number of different religions, including animism, Christianity, and Islam.

The home of the Igala people is situated east of the river Niger and Benue confluence and astride the Niger in Lokoja, Kogi state of Nigeria. The area is approximately between latitude 6°30 and 8°40 north and longitude 6°30 and 7°40 east and covers an area of about 13,665 square kilometers (Oguagha P.A 1981) The Igala population is estimated at two million, they can also be found in Delta, Anambra and Edo States of Nigeria. The Igala language is closely related to the Yoruba and Itsekiri languages.

as u can see ryt there, the yoruba and itsekiri langauges are clearly seperated.

Exotic has discovered that the name BINI is actually not Yoruba derived. It is not Itsekiri either. He has taken on the responsibility to teach and explain the ancestral roots of the Bini people and their noble kingdom.

Seeing as Yoruba and Itsekiri are very closely related (some Yoruba dialects are extremely similar to Itsekiri), why couldn't it mean the same thing in both?    "Ibinu" in Yoruba simply means "vexation."


You just like to argue.
nah, maybe you guys should be clear with your posts. emmatok said bini is from itsekhiri ubinu.  if he had said, bini is from yoruba "ile ibinu." i would not have bothered to respond coz that would be likely true since the origin of the word was from oranmiyan.

but lets say ijaw come with their variant of bini which is beni, should we then say bini is from ijaw beni? and if the ijaws start claiming that, would u agree to it?
CultureRe: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by exotik: 3:13pm On Nov 08, 2011
^ no, you are the one who dont get it. and i dont care what the itsekhiri speak if it they are yoruba or not. the olukumi speak what is yoruboid but they are igbo.
CultureRe: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by exotik: 12:38pm On Nov 08, 2011
For example the word BINI is from the Itsekhiri's "Ubinu".

lakal:
You're not making any sense. What kind of leap of logic is that??
well, the guy said it was an itsekhiri word only to later say it was a yoruba word. so why cant u guys come up with one story? is it a yoruba word or an itsekhiri word?

There are other aspects of Owo culture that show a Benin influence.
mind sharing? i would genuinely want to know.
CultureRe: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by exotik: 12:35pm On Nov 08, 2011
The English name comes from a Portuguese transcription (Benin) of a local corruption (Bini) of the Itsekiri form (Ubinu) of the Yoruba Ile-Ibinu ("Home of Vexation"wink, a name bestowed on the Edo capital by the irate Ife oba Oranyan in the 12th century.
so it was not an itsekiri word? coz from wot u wrote, everybody had their own transcription of the word. so how did it become an itsekiri word when the origin is from oranmiyan who is yoruba?  

and some of those names you posted are a bit edoid
CultureRe: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by exotik: 12:15pm On Nov 08, 2011
lakal, twas a typo. so it no longer came from oranmiyan, ryt? or oranmiyan was itsekhiri?

emmatok:
That is why it is said that the bini culture is not homogeneous.

For example the word BINI is from   the[b] Itsekhiri's "Ubinu"[/b].
of course, i know it is not homogenous coz no group has a homogenous culture. but why are the supposed influences always claimed to come from the yoruba side? what were the others doing? sleeping? i have even read attempts where yorubas would claim dat the beautiful bini hair style worn by the oba's wives may have been a yoruba influence because some yorubas who were under bini wear it too, but forgeting that some igbos also wear that hair style?

and btw, "ubinu" was always said to be a yoruba word meaning so-called "land of vexation" because oranmiyan could not rule bini due to the angry nature of the people. so when he was leaving, he called  it ile ubini -- the land of vexation. LMAO!! it is only recently i have been reading dat it is actually an itsekiri word and not a yoruba word. so wot does ubinu mean in itsekiri? cos i take it you are itsekhiri?
