Kemi Olunloyo, a 51-year-old U.S-trained pharmacist, has given her input on why it’s a bad idea to marry a Yoruba boy. The spinster said she is still unmarried because she can’t also marry a Yoruba boy…… so apt….

That you are a spineless coward, ready to cheat, and take short cuts to appear that you're what you are not-as a group!
Igbos have been beating Yorubas since after independence, but everytime you turn around Yorubas(big and loud mouthed) are always playing dirty.

From Zik beating Awo during a western house of assembly vote---Awo cheated by rallying his tribes people to reject Zik, because he wasn't Yoruba; then the British established university college at Ibadan, admission was based on merit, and you guess who was majority at the time? Igbos.

When tribalism began to crip in, UNN was established, Yorubas called it inferior school until Cantab exams were released showing Nsukka beating Ibadan hands down.
Remember Enugu rangers and IICC of Ibadan? who beat each other most, Enugu Rangers. Where can you compare?

That's why your people always resort to dirty tricks to beat the game, that because you're inferior by nature and culture.

babafirst:
Let me remind you of one 'cowardly' Yoruba man-Benjamin Adekunle.

MARKone:

We don hear but please do us a favour go and create a thread about your Oyo empire and salivate there ok.

This is about bini empire not Nupe created Oyo empire.

saintdennis:
Yea true sha...but their movies usually lack 'bite'. Like no real screenplay, no visual effects, it's so unrealistic that u don't even 'connect' with it.

But still kudos to lancelot, , we need more historically relevant movies, bet u agree wit it

Toeyoursea:
I am happy to tell you nothing is constitutionally and morally wrong for a hair dresser to be the speaker and represent or lead her (his) people

bayoalare:
At times I wonder the gravity of our sins in Osun that made God to give us this prodigal Governor.... well God will soon hear our cry

okonja:
I thought as much also BUT at this point in time, No need to question again, It's obviously Obvious.

Gaddafithe2nd:
Benefactor indeed... Your source of wealth is questionable, Ayiri

JuliettaBitch:

tbaba1234:
I googled and came up with this.

tbaba1234:
No one is saying Oyo is bad and Benin is good. But the wall of Benin is something all Africans should be proud of.

Walls of Benin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Walls of Benin were a combination of ramparts and moats, called Iya in the local language, used as a defense of the historical Benin City, formerly of the now defunct Kingdom of Benin and now the capital of the present-day Edo State of Nigeria. It was considered the largest man-made structure lengthwise, second only to the Great Wall of China, and was hailed as the largest earthwork in the world. With more recent work by Patrick Darling [of Bournemouth University, UK], it has been established as the largest man-made structure in the world, larger than Sungbo's Eredo [another massive earthworks in Ijebu Ode]. It enclosed 6,500 km² of community lands. Its length was over 16,000 km of earth boundaries. It was estimated that earliest construction began in 800 AD and continued into the mid 1400's.

tbaba1234:
"The King of Benin can in a single day make 20,000 men ready for war, and, if need be, 180,000, and because of this he has great influence among all the surrounding peoples. . . . His authority stretches over many cities, towns and villages. There is no King thereabouts who, in the possession of so many beautiful cities and towns, is his equal."

— Olfert Dapper, Nauwkeurige Beschrijvinge der Afrikaansche Gewesten (Description of Africa), 1668

tbaba1234:
Based on what?

VirginFinder:
Let me break it down:

1. Yoruba language is to Binis what English is to Nigerians.

2. Agbada/Buba & Sokoto(Yoruba outfit) is to Binis what suit, shirt and trouser is to Nigerians.

3. Ifa/Ogboni(Yoruba religion) is to Binis what Christianity is Nigerians.

Got it?

saintdennis:
Benin punitive expedition... worse still is all nollywood can conjure up is 'blackberry babe ' karashika etc..no historical movies lols. Naija wahala too many.

VirginFinder:
You are a dullard!
Oba Ehengbuda died in battle in a bid to annex Owo. Since then, Obas stopped going to war.
If Benin could not annex Owo, how can you rank it above ancient Ife, Ibadan, Oyo etc
Yorubas have always lived in big, planned towns.

AdunniIwo:
I'll tell u dat 1 on d oda side.

AdunniIwo:
I am

AdunniIwo:
Wa'alaykum salaam...I'm fine, u?
