I know what Am saying.
Am not an history student.
But I love reading history books.
The fact is that oduduwa came from benin.
Have being my grandmums place which is BENIN.
The call him oduwa which means something like road of wealth cant be sure.
The truth is that most history books that I read in school were written by yoruba men.
So they mostly wrote to favour them.

The truth is that ife people are trying hare to make sure the BENIN people Dont look superior to them.
Even some few history books. Unfortunately I cant get them.
Wrote about one OBA in that time that defeated some yoruba kingdoms .

But yoruba people will never admit that.

Lasgos for example is owned originally by BENIN people.
But yoruba people will never admit that.
Even if You look the word "OBA"is only used for a BENIN king.
But the king of lagos uses It.
Even the OBA of lagos knows that he has his descendants from BENIN.
AND he has said It many times.
I know of a time when past obas of lagos are being buried in BENIN.
I Dont know about now.

So You seee.
Why is It that some places in lagos have BENIN names.
I know of a place in lagos that speaks benin. People there speak benin.


So the fact AND truth is that BENIN has power over the ife kingdom.
AND over lagos.
The problem I have with this people is that They Dont feel bothered.

So thats Why yoruba people are taking an opportunity.



Maybe You Dont know. But the BENIN REPUBLIC that we know got their country name from the BENIN kingdom.
Because of their great kingdom.
But no one want to say this.
But if togo people speak yoruba You will see them praising themselves.

See BENIN people are the people I will love to associate with Because of their humbleness.
Not like the ooni of ife AND alafin of oyo that will Just be speaking anyhow.

I Dont know Why my DAD came from delta cry
I understand you if you check my previous comments you will see that I said I can argue about if oduduwa is Benin or not, cause a lot of people wrote different stories that why ii don't argue about it.

2. You are very right about the oba title Benin owns the oba title they are the first to start bearing oba. Yoruba borrowed it from them, Lagos first king is from Benin the Benin Prince help Lagos in a war then so they decided to make him a king and then he sent for his people to settle down with him in Lagos, even ikorodu in Lagos is owned by Benin too, but they only crown the kings, so they are second in command but it just that now they are all missed upped, you don't know the Benin's they all speak Yoruba.

3. This Lagos king on the throne self is not the true heir to the throne they just compensate him with the throne, even the crown is not the original Lagos crown, it a Benin crown and Lagos king are not called oba beginning called Oloriogun from the beginning.
I also know about the Benin republic too.

Oba of Benin does not visit any one don't forget that, and there is a sacred sword the new oba must go and pick after some few years after he is crowned king in ife, that is the only time he lives his palace ooo. And no oba of Benin that has never said they own ife.


Thanks ma.
Where is your dad from in delta
And also go and read about the isele ukwu people of delta state, that where the Benin dynasty is as wide as.

They NEVER begged for a king from yoruba people.

In the BENIN TRADITION NO OBA MUST COME FROM A DIFFERENT FAMILY.
THEIR RULING SYSTEM IS NOT ROTATING.
THE OBAS SON MUST CONTINUE THE LEADERSHIP

THE WENT TO ile ife people because They knew THEIR OBAS SON WAS A KING THERE.

BUT HE REFUSED TO COME BACK.
DUE TO THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE WANTED TO KILL HIM.

AND THAT BENIN WAS A BLOODY PLace.

So They begged him to COME BACK.

But instead HE GAVE THEM HIS SON.

SO APPARENTLY.
THE SON IS STILL A BENIN MAN.
Bro according to Ife history oduduwa came from heavens with chains that brought him to earth and according to Benin history the said oduduwa which is the same pronunciation in Benin but different spelling can't remember the spelling was a Benin Prince that ran to Ife on exile. Those two stories I don't argue about it cause Benin knows the Truth but because cause of the way Benin keeps there things scared they don't want to bow to anyone which I admired.
Have you ever wonder why almost Benin traditions about there kings is more of Ife own example when the king dies the return the crown to ife when they are doing the pro and no one will no the king is dead till after 3months or there about before the tell the Prince then the Prince tells the Chiefs before it now announced to the villagers. I'd you notice when the last ooni died the news spread out so quick which is not suppose to be then the abused ife people that it was meant to be secret. What is still helping Benin is because they keep there things secret and respect there culture so much. And don't forget any Benin Prince that is heir to the throne must go to ile ife for training likewise ife Prince too but not as much as Benin Prince.



Im an history student, I'm from delta not Yoruba but my dialect is Yoruba kind of mixed with little Benin and I'm not isekeri. Google Yoruba speaking people in aniocha north delta state

LOL.. But you didn't mention anything about the alaofin of oyo.. Historically, the old Oyo kingdom was one of the most fearsome kingdom in Nigeria. And the old king kept insisting that his throne isn't inferior in whatsoever way to that of the Ooni of Ife, that brought a huge beef that both kingdom weren't in speaking terms. It was when this new Ooni came on board that he made a historical visit to the Alaofin to quash the old beef.. But all that is now history. In the eyes of the constitution no first class kind is greater than another, they are all the same and receive the same royalties from the government. Their roles have been reduced tremendously to ceremonial heads. They don't enjoy the kind of influence they once had and what is left of them is history of something powerful and beautiful they once had.

Taking about waging war, who would want to wage war with Benin or Ife if not their own people? And if that war even happens, only the days of old where the kings determines what happens, now it is the security agents that are not answerable to any king that will come in... So forget all those stunts you see in home video, those days are gone for good
1.Can you please tell me where the first Prince of Oyo come from.

2. The answer to the beef.... When a child is behaving like a child the adult shouldn't be so stupid.

And have you ever heard in history that Oyo wage war against Ife ? It not possible, they only help each other in wars.

Let me lecture you this kids of this generation.
Incase you can’t grab your hands on the Benin historical book check your Wikipedia from google search, you will find out that the Benin history is dated back 1100, while the yoruba history is dated back 1500. The Yoruba is birthed from the Benin kingdom. The Benin kingdom is the Mother of the Yoruba history. This is fact but pride will not let you people know your source of history. Now know your source and be wise.
You are right, but don't forget that Benin went back to Ife for a new king since they can produce one, that was when oranmiyan moved to benin, Benin then was wide to the very day asaba. That why when they want to crown a new king they always send delegate to ile Ife and the king of Ife send people to represent him. And there is a secret sword oba of Benin use to go and collect from ooni, the recent oba just collected his I think last year or so.

Which while of yoruba land? Is that what they told you? It took this ooni to settle the long lasting beef between the previous ooni and the alaofin of Oyo.. At one time they were not even in speaking terms.. And till date, the alaofin of Oyo doesn't show respect to the the ooni of ife, so where is the control coming from? And what exactly do you mean when u say control the entire yoruba land? Even the Oba of Lagos once disrespected opening by not acknowledging him in a public function.. Are u saying the Ooni if Ife can send a memo effecting a change in a community in Lagos or Kwara? The ooni of ife doesn't even have control over ife, they are ceremonial heads and can thrown aside by any governor for any flimsy political reason
And what happened to the so called oba of Lagos his throne got burn out of nowhere after he disrespected Ooni, mind you Lagos does not have an oba title and even the crown he is using is not an original crown. Oba of Benin and Ife are one blood, Benin can't wage war against Ife likewise Ife too, so if you wage war against any Ife them you are in trouble.

OKAY GUYS I MADE INQUIRIES.

AND THAT THRONE THAT ONNI OF IFE IS SITING ON IS NOT THE ESAMA OF BENIN THRONE.


ITS A WELL RESEVERED THRONE FOR TRADITIONAL RULERS THAT VISIT THE ESAMA OF BENIN.



AND THE ESAMA OF BENIN IS QUITE HIGHER THAN THE OONI OF IFE.

JUST THAT HE IS A CHIEF.

SO PEOPLE SAYING OONI OF IFE IS SITING ON ESAMA OF BENIN THRONE.
THATS A FAT LIE.

HE IS SITING ON A MERE COMMON CHAIR.
Esama of Benin can never be higher than OONI of Ife if so then Esama is also higher than OBA of BENIN.

There have been few occasions I remember seeing myself running from the evil one suddenly I take off, it happens mysteriously and God takes me to a place of safety... Pray with Isaiah 40:31

Geraldyne:
Hi,
Its not a friends story or from a blog,its mine and I want you all to read and give me matured advice.

I've been in a relationship for almost 8 months now and everytime I go to visit my boyfriend..he must demand sex,even if I say am on my period.
Sometimes I just get furious and say am no longer interested in the relationship and he starts begging and because I love him, I forgive him.
He'll stop that for a while,then start it all over again.

He doesn't consider my feelings at times, there was a certain time I was still mourning the death of my cousin,he came around and after symphatizing with me,he wanted us to have sex..Gosh! I was so pissed.

The one that pissed me off the most was last night,after having like 5 rounds,I felt sore all over, I told him that and he stopped,then this morning, while I was trying to pray,he started touching me again saying he wants me.

I don't just understand whether this is normal,sometimes I just displease myself to please him but still he's not satisfied.

Am confused on whether to quit or not,cos apart from the sex thing,he still has his good sides and I dont want to make a wrong decision.

pls advice a confused sister...thanks
First died your boy friend want to marry you or not. I share the same thing with your boy friend too, cause I never had sex until when I was 25, since then I so much love sex my fiancee complain so much because she is not the sex type like yours too and we have been in a relationship of 4yrs, to the extent that she told me she will be given me money to go to club get any girl I want and have sex with them anytime i feel like have sex, which she really did, but she is someone I want to marry and because of what she said I decided to slow down and control my self I collect the money go to my friend place those nite buy fuel play games all through the nite and still use the money to buy gift for her until she caught me that I wasn't go to club, then we settle things. Now I can still control myself for 3wks without sex. I think you tell him u will pay him to have sex outside and see if he will agree if he does my sister run for your life ooooooooo

I'm about laying the foundation of a 4 bedroom bungalow on my plot of land as well. Please does anyone have an idea about the cost estimate?

I have 370k for a start, I have bought pegs, sand, granite. I have water already as well.
It depend on the type of land if it water or solid ground, and how big u want it to be and if you want to use 9inches block through out, likr mine I use 9inches to start and continue with six inches 9 inches for 2 coaches and six for the rest, u will need about 900 nine inches blocks and 1500 blocks of 6 inches by then it would have want to reach Window level that if it on a solid ground, where u will put ur money mostly is on cement. How don't really know how much blocks are sold over there unlike lagos Ikorodu.
370 should do it, since u have sand and gravel,
