Igbos are native to their area. We came from nowhere.

Gibberish! Eri was a warrior from Igala who migrated to the Omambala basin and mixed the the existing Igbo communities. The kinship and closeness between Nri and Igala peopis not shared by other Igbo communities.

Onojo Oboli, a son of Eri was a strong warrior also who terrorised many Igbo communities on the Omambala basin and the Adada basin. Onoja Oboli is Igala yet Eri is somehow supposedly the father of the Igbos. Ridiculous!

I found a couple, so I will just leave their links here. Also I might be wrong, but I checked and couldn't find anything similar on this Nairaland platform, which is why I created this thread.

You're mistaking benin republic for benin, i find your comment downgrading to edos in believing such. your aims are still not clear are you happy to hear benins sold themselves as slaves or you should be happy africans are coming to benin for tourism ....what part of edo are you from ?

TAO11:


Who sent you here so that I may roast you? Such person is your enemy, run away from them.

Anyways, I won't roast you.

I will only crucify you on your first claim, after which I will simply ask you to provide the evidence for your second and third claims thereby giving you the opportunity to realize by your own self that the statements are FALSE.

Here we go:

(1) Ewuare1 rained reigned in the 15th century from the year 1440 to the year 1473.

Don't take my word for it, take the words of your own Bini website https://www.edoworld.net/Obas.html which contains a listing of the kings of Benin kingdom from the first to the present.

See the first attached screenshot in case you're too busy to click the link.

Having now been exposed as a liar, and having endowed you with some proper education, note that it would be hard before anyone would take you seriously no more.

Always get your emotions right!


(2) Your second claim says that certain Benin bronze heads date to the 14th century, and that Yoruba bronze heads date to the 18th and 19th century.

You're not the first Bini on Nairaland to make this false statement. Two of your brothers namely Prolog3111 and gregyboy have made this claim before you.

But guess what, they are still searching for the evidence to substantiate this false claim since over two weeks ago when I sent them on the errand to substantiate their own claim.

Now join them on this errand, may be you would be the game changer.

But in case you become wiser than them during your search, and become repentant, and come to retract this false statement; then I will demonstrate to you that, in fact, the most extant Ife bronze sculptures have been dated by experts to the earliest of the 12th century (i.e. the 1100s) while the most extant Benin bronze sculptures (depicting use of beads) have been dated by experts to the earliest of the 15th century (i.e. the 1400s).


(3) Regarding your third remark, although you did not make your position clear as to whether or not you yourself believe that Yorubas were unknown prior to the 18th century --- that is, unknown in the 1600s or earlier.

Nevertheless, I would provide you with a piece of factual historical information. Please refer to the second attachment!

TAO11:


It's funny that on seeing my comment you immediately fled from your moniker to "guest". Wonderful!!

Anyways, you just joined the ranks of Bini liars whom I have rubbished as per the claims of artefact.

So, instead of merely claiming that Yorubas on Nairaland were lying, you could have simply demonstrated with evidence that they lied. Nay, you "dashed" a golden opportunity. Lol!


And lastly, since you requested to be proven wrong, please note that you've just been proven wrong (in my 2nd attachment above) on your claim that Yorubas were not on record prior to the 18th century.

TAO11:


Hahaha! Did you really turn yourself into a "Nobody" after being beaten black and blue?? Wonderful!!


Anyways, I'm patiently waiting for you to provide the manufacture date attributed to the so-called uniform of the Oba of Benin by scholars, experts, or academics who have scientifically dated it.

And nowhere in the video you attached did the Ooni confirm that the so-called uniform of the Oba of Benin dates to the pre-Ewuare1 era, neither did he make any "confirmation" whatsoever.

Stop lying in the hope of deceiving your fellow gull!ble Binis.

I find you amusing ...and intelligent but at thesame time youre not smart... You read wide but alongside dogmatism and bigotry ....i will never step in shoes of ethnocentrism just to save the edo history you should get that fact..
You post links of so many write up full of prejudice and lots of error then you claim you're smart or you won me in an argument...ha ..
Just so you know keep posting those links and i will keep reviewing and get vital information from them to explain possibilities since our ancestors never wrote in words....

Discard that crap of ewaure inventing beads in benin i can tell you so many folktales of ewaure in benin he was the greateat king so much of folklore is expected from him which some are lies ....
The issue am having with you is when a source of info suit you ...you paste the links to counter me discard other sources of links ...you aegued egnrevba works was original against the edo site that claims otherwise but here you are pisting thesame edo site you say is not correct

Am probably looking for all possibilities oduduwa is benin

MetaPhysical:
If you notice from top first paragraph said "Dutch visitor, Olfert Dapper".

That copy and paste is from a Edo website.

Here is authentic source about Dapper.
