The Binis cannot defeat Ijaws. The Ijaws will use machineries from Bayelsa, Ondo etc to fight while while the Yoruba will never join Bini like it is in ancient times

Hmm life is too short RIP Baba

Tell us the source of your income we want to know how legitimate it is

As it stands, Nigeria has to defeat Benin at least 2-0 and pray that Rwanda should draw with South Africa.

is not possible

Brendaniel:
The Oluwole president and his illegal IGP will be agitated now

Not agitated at all wherever that happens to Nnadi kanu the agitation will only be in the east

we need about 500 more psychiatric hospitals in the south east. Soludo, Uzodinma and Okorocha should help build more of it

Salewa97:
Wike the Jagaban of the South.

We love to hear it.

True

Lifestone:
This idea of accusing people of heinous crimes such as RAPE without any shred of proof other than words of mouth is horrible. At 17, with access to phone, she could have had recorded voice or pictures as evidence. The story of a woman watching her husband have sex with a house help and happy is hard to believe.
The family has been hounded, derided and shamed from just words of mouth without any concrete evidence.
For all males and those who have Male children, this is a dangerous trend and we must all condemn it.

Posts like this dey give me headache

Take paracetamol

Yorubas are brave obviously. Portable suppose give am permanent marks for mouth for what this village boy Dali gton said about the Yoruba

This man is obviously sad about the fight but I think it’s a friendly fight

Not surprised na “ Na we gaet lagos people “

AdeolaOmoOba:
How true is this information?

Not true

She’s not Yoruba but regular criminals behind the name.
Yoruba doesn’t commit crime

I think there was a misunderstandings BTW Oba of Bini and an Esan King that prompted the Esan king or chief to report Oba of Bini to the then Ooni of Ife.

CameroonPepper:
Esan belongs to Benin.

You're very ridiculous. Benin belong to the Esan tribe before Oranmiyan and Ife soldiers seized it from the Esan.

Osimen is from Esan but raised in Lagos Yoruba land. If Osihmen for come frm Bini or Abakaliki are we going to hear words again?

JDJDjD:
2019 election was a contest between North and North
2023, north has already rule for 8yrs
Know the difference and get sense
Tinubu truncated the 8yrs tenure of the south to support Buhari

Tinubu truncated GEJ that betrayed and insulted Yoruba with his Igbo supporters.

JDJDjD:
Tinubu would have left APC if he didn't get the ticket
He is not different
He sold the entire South for his selfish ambition

CORRECTION
He didn't SOLD SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST. the SS and SE sold themselves I guess.

Even d tribe that founded these confraternities are not killing themselves like this.

Fubara must be careful of wike na inteligent and smart man also be careful of online Ipob thinking people that will be pushing you down into the den of failure. Follow them you follow failure.

It is sad many have used Wike( the Jagaban of South South) for their advantage and dump him e.g Obaseki of Edo.

Super falcons will thrash these Super eagles I dey see so.

IjawUnited:
Evidence with Video.


I see many Yoruba confused and claim he's from their land... The stealing from Ijaw land must be stopped!

I don't know Damini and Ebunoluwa is Ijaw name.
There's no stealing Buna is known for stealing.

Look at it twice and tell me you are not ashamed of your IQ deficiency..... You all are beyond saving by God at this point.... Rubbish

I am telling the truth you're getting angry who your anger help? Go to Lagos and tell the Yoruba their Oba of Benin founded them they will disagree and flog you out of Lagos.

Why are u so mad cause of the truth...Oba Akenzua was the last real Oba of Benin the rest are impostors of Ogiso.

AreaFada2:

I can see you follow some Esan nationalists, some Ogiamie people and others online.
Nothing like Esan until they left Benin. It was a name given them for leaving.

Now, no tribe is totally homogeneous. Yoruba as a name didn't even exist 350 years ago and Yoruba people of today are even more diverse genetically that most tribes: Tapa, Benin, Gbagyi, Hausa and others are all there.

Yes, Yoruba now has more cultural homogeneity but largely driven by politics. Having learnt from the civil wars that devasted Yorubaland in the 18th and 19th centuries.

You need to know that Benin people do not call themselves Benin. It doesn't exist as an identity. It is Ovbi-Edo. Unu no z'Edo (Edo speaker).
Benin as a name was never forced on Edo and not even used traditionally by the people. Outsiders used the name in the way we call Japan or China those names. Japanese and Chinese don't call themselves those names.

Oranmiyan never waged any war. He was a Benin prince via his dad, Prince Ekaladerhan/Izoduwa.

All Benin wars are carefully documented in art, songs and poetry. Even those wars in which Benin suffered quite considerable losses.

This is the insincerity I find in our SW people. I said I will give you 2 solid places in SW verifiably founded by Benin people, to do at your own leisure and you now shifted position. There are many more places of course. It means you are not in reality interested in the truth at all. You seem afraid to confirm the fact because it won't fit into your narrative.

Bini founded no where in SW sir no sentiment attached. Go read d meaning of "Founded "
If Benin founded anywhere in SW, the titled of the king palace will be an Ogiso not Oba. We have Benin documentation of when Oranmiyan came to Benin...he came on Eshin (horse) he was the one that introduced horse to Benin. Ekaladeran ended in Esan land not Yoruba land go and ask Esan people.

Have lived with truthful Edo people I know what they told me not Oba Erediawa and his son's lies.
Truth will come and disgrace Oba Benin lies very soon.
Oba Erediawa lied and falsified Bini history against the Yoruba to the extent he couldn't travel out of his palace . He his not in the good book of the Yoruba like his father Akensua.

samuk:
For the Sake of those that may be mislead by you guys.

1. Uhe (Ife) has nothing to do with Osun, Osun state is not mentioned anywhere in the story of Pa Idu, do not smuggle Osun state into the story. The story only referred to Kogi/Benin relationship. Osun state was not mentioned. The story of Pa Idu referred to another Ife in Kogi state not the Ife in Osun state.

2. I read Oba Erediawa book when it came out many years ago, I cannot remember seeing were he claimed that Obagodo or Ogiso had any relationship with Ife. I have the book somewhere but I will not bother looking for it, because if such was written in the book I would have remembered. If you have prove, screenshot the page and paste it here for all your see.

3. Even the palace version that acknowledged Oranmiyan in Benin, said he was there for only three months before he left because he didn't understand the language, tradition and customs of the Benin people. How did Oranmiyan found Benin when he met people on ground that he did understand their ways.

4. Benin palace said Oranmiyan was sent for because he was a Benin prince because he was the son/grandson of Ekaladerhan AKA Oduduwa.

5. Even if the story is true, nobody or tribe send for a total stranger to govern them.

6. Oranmiyan didn't bring war into Benin because Ife didn't have such army recorded in that period.

7. Ife and the entire yoruba people didn't haven independent eyewitnesses recorded history until 1824.

8. Yoruba independent European eyewitness historical accounts began in 1824.

9. Benin independent European eyewitness historical accounts began in late 1400s.

10. The gap between Benin history and yoruba history is 400 years. Benin history is 400 years older than yoruba verifiable history.

11. Whatever claims yoruba make, they will not be able to back it up with evidence that is older than 1824.

12. Benin can back up her history to the 1400s.

13. Benin history is far older than yoruba history.

14. All the dates associated with Oranmiyan and Oduduwa are provided by Benin because Benin history is much older than yoruba history whose records started in 1824. Yoruba rely on Benin for Oranmiyan and Oduduwa dates.

Don't know why you have been switching monikers to comment on this thread but is nothing but the Igbo DNA that's in you.

1 Nothing like Kogi that period sir. The whole of Kogi towns you are referring to were under Ife. The Ebira and Igala were under Ife kingdom. There's no another Ife in Kogi. Do your research.

2. Oranmiyan ruled Benin as an Oba for over 15 years. He was still an Oba till when Eweka was about 15 years. Oranmiyan left Bini upon the demised of the then Oba of Ile-Ife and Ife people invited him back being their commander and chief warrior of Ife kingdom to come and rule them. Oranmiyan preferred to be an Ooni compared to Oba of Benin reason he resigned and left with his Bini woman and his son Ado later known as Eweka.

After he became, the sixth Ooni of Ife his throne in Benin became vacant. Benin People started missing him they sent for him to return back to Bini but he offered them his son Ado instead . Ado was later known as Eweka to be the second Oba of Benin.
At the time Eweka was fluent in Yoruba and the Aboriginal language of Edo. That paved way for him to rule the Yoruba and the Edo in Benin successfully therefore uniting them further.

The gap between Ife Kingdom and Benin kingdom is more than 5000 years before the Ogiso not even your recent Oba

Obatala dynasty of Ile ife had more than 45 kings only that their names have been forgotten in history. Obatala was the last of his dynasty and 45th king of the dynasty before Oduduwa came.

Have told you truth will come it won't take long. You Igbos in Edo will see it and be shocked.

Ordinary Bini will be dragging history with Yoruba. You people are a tribe of Yesterday.

Usenokpevbo:
do you have any proof that These groups migrated from Kogi and Osun to form Bini

What are your proofs these groups formed Bini?

The subgroups formed Igodomigodo but later Oranmiyan came and found Benin which is today Igodomigodo subgroups plus Yoruba of present Kogi and Osun.

Usenokpevbo:
do you have any proof that These groups migrated from Kogi and Osun to form Bini

What are your proofs these groups formed Bini?

The proof is the Origin of Pa idu tribes account of the story.

The Bini, Esan, Ijaw and Igbo of Onitsha have same accounts of Pa Idu migrated from (Uhe) Ile-Ife kingdom. That's Kogi and Osun when they were One.

Ijaw for example claimed Oduduwa as a result of Pa Idu.

Yoruba words in Bini sometimes corrupted to Edo sounding...
