bright007:
Now the essence of this thread has been defeated.


The creator of the thread should bow out in shame

TAO11:
Another emotional outburst after disgracing the gayboy as empty-headed.

TAO11:
TAO11 is a fool?

Give your so-called answers to other Yorubas. I will still come and catch you there and expose you.

Ekalderhan does not exist! Benin Kingdom 'yaff' been exposed!

sotall:
Just hear yourself!

How is it possible that the oba of Benin and his palace administrators adopted yoruba language and relegated their mother tongue?

Does it make sense?


If you believe this, then you must also believe that Oduduwa climbed down from the sky using a chain.

You gonna believe it because that belief has been passed down orally and even documented from generation to generation without evidence nor proof.


To whom brain is given, sense is expected.

TAO11:
Emotional outbursts, after been exposed as a dummy, is all I see here.

lawani:
we speak English today because English was the lingua franca of the British empire. There is no empire in world history without a lingua franca and your edo language does not pass Benin city.

TAO11:
Conquering Benin Kingdom is equivalent to conquering every single dialectal-group under it.

Same goes for every other region. Nobody has to speak 300 plus languages.

I had always thought that your dumbness wasn't this grand.

I was wrong!

lawani:
The lingua franca of the British empire was English. We were in the British empire is why we speak English today. The question I am asking you people is what was the lingua franca of the old Benin empire?.

davidnazee:
Lol.. please be gentle on her
I have come across writings from the 17th century that mentioned the Ekhaladeran story.. I will post it if I find it.

lawani:
The language of Ilorin was and is still Yoruba. You can't amount to anything in Ilorin without speaking Yoruba. It was so in the past and still so today. The dahomey spoke Yoruba while dealing with oyo. The question now is what was the lingua franca of the old Benin empire?.

Etinosa1234:
Thanks bro...The thing jus dey funny to me...

How a whole Oba of Benin wey be the custodian of the culture go drop the prestigious culture and start to speak another language...and the people nor go fight against am...

I be nor wan put mouth ooo...but the way that law.ani jus dey talk am boldly..him go feel say na true he dey talk because nobody counter am

TAO11:
When did Ekaladerhan exist?

Show me Ekaladerhan in any writing pror to the early 1930s.

lawani:
I am not talking of today's Benin kingdom which is edo but of the empire which used Yoruba as lingua and had more Yoruba citizens than edo.

lawani:
I have said I can't post links because I don't know how to with my phone but you can google owo to see that the oba is not from Benin neither is the owa obokun of Ijesaland from Benin. They are both descendants of oduduwa like the oba of Benin. The fact that owa obokun Gbegbaaje sought Benin help during a war does not make the owa obokun stool to be from Benin. History does not say that. You ought to know that even if you reawake the Benin empire today, you will still have to use Yoruba as lingua franca and not edo. That is the point of my original post. Your ancestors lived in the Benin suburbs and not the palace or capital.

lawani:
the owo monarchy is not a Benin monarchy. They are descended from Ile Ife.

lawani:
The owa obokun monarchy is older than the Benin monarchy, so the Benin copied from the Ijesa.

You are right bro, I had plenty gra gra back in Naija and I think she has psychologically programmed herself before arrival to come take her pound of flesh here. There is complete breakdown of communication with her family as they are on her side, always encouraging her to call the police on me. All they say is ''No gree for am o, he think say na Naija he dey. Show am well well, you have rights there and the govt. would support you''

Obalufon:
Enu e' bi enu' eiye yen lo ma pa e''...

Juliusmalema:
What is your middle Yoruba name?

Juliusmalema:
Which Benin names?

Nothing like Benin names at all in our land...

beads is just a weak link and can't stand as evidence.

Juliusmalema:
That's lie..

When nearly all population have one Yoruba name or the other.

Your evidence to support such has been weak..

Juliusmalema:
You can never subdue the truth...never..

hundred of evidences abounds on nairaland...

Even the palace are configured around Yoruba.

Juliusmalema:
Well both are Yoruba states.

So nothing new meeting your people and brothers.

lawani:
yoruba was united in the 19th century under Ibadan.

Moneywomen17:
how does the owa dress like edo monarch

spinna:
dm me her number..people are differently wired

Obalufon:
Ogun lo ma e ti ran ti ran eyi ti mo so egba orun ti gba

lawani:
Ooni's superiority is spiritual not physical. All obas have their people and domain where they are superior exclusively. If you want to count people then oyo is superior and not Ife. As a monarch, the ooni oversees Ife alone and that is not even up to Ijesa where the owa obokun is supreme.

babakb:
Why the outburst, what he said is the plain truth, girls learn to cover their adornments properly from age 12 especially when she knows the kind of man she is living under (An artisan who drinks).

Besides you quickly assumed that his daughter will squat with one couple someday, very wrong and uncalled for.

Of course I blame the OP for not having self control but that doesn't negate the fact that the girl is rather being naive.

lawani:
The whole architecture of the empire was Yoruba but the suburbs of the capital or palace had their own vernacular which was and still is edo.

safarigirl:
This is, once again, not the same scenario.

When she said the guy stated he was busy for two weeks, I wanted to understand, because I also don't really keep up with communication, but then, I recalled that he had been consistently calling and texting all this time, and they seemed to have a relationship with a lot of communication, so, for it to stop anduptly, is odd.

It is different if the person never gave you good energy from the getgo. You can tell when someone never liked you, from the getgo, and giving you number doesn't mean they like you, it
is communication that is important. Some girls give number, so, you don't disturb them for too long, and some don't even think you will call them.

The guy must have someone else, and that's fine, but he should have the balls to tell her so, not leave her guessing, or stringing her along.

I can't even keep the same energy with someone that plays me dirty like that, I no like stress. I go just dey look you, dey wait make everything fizzle out.
