PrecisionFx:
83 skulls?

And it even happened 15 years ago.

This is nothing compared to the total number of skulls found in Ogun ritual den every single week.

Hope this one also happend 85 years ago

Decryptor:
And yet your brothers with all their skull mining are still poor like church rats

Stop showing what happened in imo. Are you a ritualist?

Decryptor:
Selling gala with dignity in the streets of Lagos is better than mining skulls, burying a girl in your bedroom and doing yahoo+ but those slimy soup guzzlers won't hear.

Do you mean skull like this? And burying of people like this in enugu mr osu?

Thought igbos made gtbank bankrupt na. Wetin dey happen? They will soon come here to claim how they control banking system

gidgiddy:
The way I see it is that the future is what is important. If the Igbo nation decides that they want their independence as Biafra, nobody has the right to say no to it because self determination is their right.

All this ancient history about what Zik or Ironsi did more than 50 years ago is pointless

They have every right to say know. Azikwe thougbt he is smart, thought igbo will dominate nigeria, hence his reason to oppose secession clause. Karma is the one playing ludo on you people head.

Electricboy:
am a biafran so I don't believe this trash......so why did they now refuse when ojukwu wanted to lead and separate us from you guys.....


. you guys f*cking depend on us.....

you said Igbos sold nigeria to the fulanis...what were you yorubas doing were you already skull mining then.......yorubas have always been ass lickers since 19ad..an average Yoruba man is brain dead...

quote me and withness bad things in 2019

is like this op left his sense in 2018

That bad things will start from your home. Brain dead osu, were you dead when azikwe oppossed secession claude. You just start.

LegitHustler:
Unless Yoruba is not in Africa, Igbos are the future of Africa indeed in Biafra Africa died

In your delusional mind. Atleast as an OSU, you need to make yourself happy once. Not easy to be outcast.

DrGoodman:
Eku new year from brother Akintola

Oo jar mr pastor Ernest Nwankwo

Nwadiuto247:
Oga you are just deceiving yourself. If Igbos are committing these crimes as you claim why is the crime rate so high in the SW rather than in Igbo land?

SE should ve been the highest in crime but facts keep showing that we are the lowest.

common sense should tell you to weep for your SW and think of how to get your people out of their wicked ways. Stop deceiving yourself.

Are you being smart by half or not smart at all. If you go to south africa as an igbo to do crime, where will they mention? Your home town abi. Keep decieving yourself.

DrGoodman:
Is Daniel Akintola a yoruba name? Just asking o

No jare, it is an OSU name

Anambralstson:
Today is 1st, I know most of you don't have conscience, my post was last year 2018, we are in new year, carry your witch face your people, tell them you didn't see me today.

First bla blabbla, if you have conscience, why starting what you cannot finish just like ur mentors, ojukwu n cownu. Do not run, be a man n face the challenge. Coward.

Excaperx:

Come to ijebu n ask.

Osagyefo98:

LegitHustler:
[s][/s]

Why abolish history from schools abi na Igbos remove the history from school curriculum

Yes Igbo were created to dominate Africa and the whole world if e pain you enter lagoon

Not where great yorubas are. Maybe against hausa, fulani edo, ikwere, ijaw n others, not yoruba.

Donmedra:
or maybe Igbo and Yoruba have Edo roots since they can't tell their history without mentioning Edo and some of their kings were under the Benin

Lol who dey mention edo. Na una want relationship.

Donmedra:
wait you think only Yoruba are in south west?

Nigeria needs education restructuring

Yes only yorubas n proto yorubas. We have nothing in common with binis. What is the meaning of benin in your language.

Osagyefo98:
Sometimes I wonder what is in ogbomosho or osogbo

Edo state is 100 times better than ekiti, osun, ogbomosho, combined together....


More Edo are industrious....they don't mine skull...they live a credible lifestyle.

Well, atleast, they do not eat flesh n drink the corpse water like some people we know. Now tell us where the pot you used to cook the flesh of these people flesh.

ImperialYoruba:
They beg honorably at least. Not with their bodies trafficked to white slavers.

You mean the italia oloshos

Donmedra:
Smh they are only two tribes that have almajiri beggars in Nigeria

Hausa and Yoruba

What is the relevant of edo to this nation self?

ImperialYoruba:
I dont need to. Fulani has been in this country over 200yrs. Never has it sair or written that it named Yoruba.

What evidence can be greater than that?

Who cares what coward edoman says. They are irrelevant.

Donmedra:
what can a Yoruba man do?

According to babaginda

"If I hear a Yoruba man coming to my house to fight war with me, I'll go back to sleep because all he can do is talk"

You can try yorubas na. Since you want to know what they can do. Be decieving yourself witb babangida that could not even try yorubas.

Iwillbegreat:
What this Nigeria propaganda country are trying to do ever since is to divide try great Benin race.

They are trying to group in Edo people that are nearer to them into their own ethnic group. E.g

[s]Edo groups in ondo, ekiti, Lagos have been brainwashed believing they are Yorubas[/s]

Edo groups nearer to East like anioma has been brainwashed into believing they are Igbo

Edo group in kogi has been brainwashed into believing they are igala

Edo groups in ijawoid community has been brainwashed into believing they are ijaw.

Oga ade, know your fact right. No edo group in lagos, ogun, ondo or ekiti. Stop claiming relationship, we do not bear same name, culture are differ, we do not eat same food. Stop giving yourself relevance. We are yorubas.

[s][qwuote author=Excaperx post=74342694]SOME WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR REAL ORIGIN.
BUT JUST DO YOUR THOROUGH RESEARCH YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THIS HISTORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ.

Who are the Edo people?

EDO, is what you can describe as the "generic name given to a group of people who have a common ancestor and have a common language, with some different variants, depending on the distance between the group and the " tap root, " resident in and around the present day Benin City. In short, the land, the political state, the people, tribe, language and the principal city -Benin City is called EDO. At a point in the history of these people, another name called BENIN came into use. These Edo-speaking people are divided into the following clans today:

a) " BINI " derived from the word Benin for people living in and around Benin City, in Edo State. People living in and around Benin City, are gradually accepting the word BINI, as descriptive of their clan. Otherwise, they prefer to be simply called EDO.

b) ESAN/Ishan-for the immediate neighbor to the north are people living in around Irrua, Orhodua, Uromi, Ubiaja, Ewu, Ewatto, Igueben and the almighty Evbohimwin (Ewohimi))" the city by the big river " or " the city of Ikhimwin trees " etc.

c) The Afemais known as IVBIOSAKON by those living in and around Benin City to the north of Ishan/Esan clan.

d) Akoko-Edos based in Igarra, Ibillo and its environs to the north of Afemais.

e) The Owans-ORAS occupying Eme, Sabogida-Ora, Afuze, etc. Uhobe (SOBE) and Ifon in Ondo State.

f) Ekas-to East of Benin. A sizeable chunk of the Edo speaking people flow across River Niger and ending at ONITSHA.

g) Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiris and about 70% percent of western Izon (Ijaws) in Ndegeni and its environs

h) A sizeable chunk of the Edos is found in River States and Balyesa States e.g. Ogba land and Diobu, Port Harcourt.

i) A sizeable chunk has been " Yorubanised in Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos and Ogun States. The descendants of Edo soldiers stationed in Akure are referred to today as ADO-AKURE (Edo ne ’kue) There are many Edos in Ekiti land, Idoani, Idanre etc going through life in Nigeria with Yoruba names. Acculturation has taken place. You are either a Yoruba man or you go nowhere.

j) The ILAJE community at OKITIPUPA and its environs.

k) The Edos who conquered and settled far way land like Dahomey, Togo and Ghana.

The Edo language is part of the Kwa-Niger group of languages according to Linguist. These people have lived were they are now for " Thousands of years." The monarchy centered in Benin City is about 6000 years old, including pre-ogiso and Ogiso era of history. All the clans had various functions, which they perform at the palace. For example, the Ishans/Esans were principally the medicine men and warriors of the ancient empire. They were the medical practitioners. The chieftancy groups responsible for the Oba's well being are dominated by Ishan/Esan descendants. The Ivbiosakon (Afemais) were the dental surgeon of the palace. That is the origin of the name IVBIOSAKON. Oba Esigie assigned that function to them in the c1500's.

The Owan/Ora people were the propitiators of the physical earth for the Oba of Benin. It was their responsibility to prevent things like earthquake, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes and anything associated with geological disturbance to occur in Benin. In short, they were the geologists and weathermen of their day, forecasting and preventing physical calamities. Those we call BINIS today, were the traditional bureaucratic administrators and military generals. The Izons (Ijaws) were the " OZIGUE" -SAILORS The Ekas were farmers. They were in charge of the royal farms.

The Ibos across the Niger call the Edos, IDU, the name of the progenitor of Edo race, the Yorubas call us ADO, which is a corruption of the word EDO. However, the Itsekiris, another sub group in the Edo clans call us UBINI. Tradition asserts that it is derived from ILE-IBINU, which is descriptive of the exasperation and frustration encountered in Benin City, by Prince Oranmiyan of ILE-IFE. A further research may prove that, it was the Itsekiris who gave that name, to the people living in and around Benin City. The Itsekiris told the white man of the powerful overlord living in Igodomigodo. It was the Itsekiris who told the Whiteman that the name of the tribe of this powerful king was UBINI- a term which Whiteman corruptly wrote down as Benin. For example, the name of the eldest daughter of Oba Osewende, the mother of the OSULAS and the AIWERIOGHENES is today known as AGHAYUBINI. A closer examination of that name would reveal that the name is an Itsekhiri phrase-" The Ubini Lady or woman " i.e. the woman from Benin. Aghayubini was a very wealthy trader among the Itsekiris, from whence she got the money she used, is getting the throne for her brother, who became Oba ADOLO. An Itsekhiri descriptive phrase has simply over powered her original Edo name, to the extent that nobody knows anything about it now.

The ancient Edo/Benin Empire covered the whole of Bendel, parts of Bayelsa State and I repeat Balyesa State. The second son of the Enogie of Brass, popularly known as IYASE NE OHENMWEN became the Iyase of Benin under Oba Osewende. Iyase Ohenmwen is the ancestor of the OTOKITIS, THE OKEAYA-INNEH AND THE AIWERIOGHENES of Benin today. It also covers the IGBO-speaking areas of Delta State stretching to Onitsha. People hardly know that the actual title of the Obi of Onitsha is AIGBOGHIDI. The historical Chief Agho Obaseki of Oba Ovoranmwen era and later the Iyase of Benin under Oba Eweka II, was a descendant of the second son of Enogie of NSUKWA now in Delta State. It extended to the whole of Ondo State, parts of Ekiti and Ogun State and the whole of Lagos State including BADAGRY. It stretched to southern Dahomey (Republic of Benin) and on to the coast of Togo and Ghana.

THE OWANS /ORAS:

Oba Ozolua is traditionally regarded as the ancestor of the Owans/Ora. He was known as Prince Okpame before he became known as Oba Ozolua. He had sought refuge in Uwokha in Ivbiosakon areas in c1473. From Uwokha, Oba Ozolua founded Ora and other villages. Oba Ozolua was a warlord. He beat the people of Uzea near Uromi to a pulp when there was a revolt. He extended his carnage to Uromi when the Enogie was reported to have been rude to his messengers. He went up through Akoko land, wandering into Nupe lands where he acquired a lot of sophisticated weaponry then. He attacked the Igallas and Igbirras in the present Kogi and Kwarra states. After spending the greater part of his life in ORA, he left behind his son UGUAN and returned to Benin City.

But before he left, he proclaimed everybody free men and free women, entitled to enjoy the privileges of Edo princes and Princesses, for all the services they had rendered in his military campaigns. That is why the Oras call themselves today, the CHILDREN OF OZOLUA. Besides being in charge of propitiating the physical earth, they are responsible for ritually exorcising any harm that might come upon the EDO NATION-the land due to violation of sexual or other taboos. Their GUILD, quartered at EVBORHAN quarter in OGBELAKA in Benin City by Oba Esigie, demands steep fines from the culprits for their services.

A few years ago, the Oba of Benin created an Ogie-Duke-traditional rulership for the Oras because of popular demand.

Ademola Iyi Eweka. Look
The green color is the true map of Edo territories make this campaign know to the unknown
Edo is not a minority in their Land. EDO is an umbrella that cover all.[/quote][/s]Never you mention Ondo, lagos, ogun and Ekiti. Know your history right.
