Truthvalue:
Now I know you would definitely not qualify to be my student.
Either you didn't read what I posted earlier, either your nigerian mental blocking stopped you from understanding.

I was never your student.. And that was disrespectful


I read it and it's still pointless
They are not edos you have more nigerian mentality than i ... Anyone who sees your comment would never believe you don't base in Nigeria

Truthvalue:
A kid who knows nothingthing and just graduated from nigeria (the hell hole of education) trying to lecture me ...

Anyone can lecture anyone... Being a Genius is not the gift of old age its a gift giving regardless of age...


Humility is key....


Nevertheless your point is baseless and would never be accepted

If in the past the Europeans used landmass to associate tribes that was their own understanding and if the aworis were never Yorubas in the past now they are.... We know Yorubas is a more of a political and lingua entity and not necessarily ancestory persay


If even if they claim to be edo today , they wouldn't be edo enough

Only the royal house are edos.

Sometimes when I see we edos lay claims to other tribes i feel its our minority complex kicking in, i just observe and remain mute...

Seems you have more of the Nigerian mentality than i, the Nigerian mentality of self acclaiming tribe

Truthvalue:
yoruba itself at inception is not even a people, it is a geographical location.

Bro what you're getting at is pointless aworis are not edos..

Truthvalue:
This guy has barely graduated from a school in nigeria of all places and he now believes he can lecture me, wonders.

1) the british created nigeria, and in their colonial papers, you have them listing people as tribes. If you can show me your proof of "nigerians" creating the tribes then ho ahead.

Ijebus were tribes before Nigeria was formed
Yorubas were different tribes

These two tribes came together on their own to join as Yorubas

Truthvalue:
Gregyboy, you misded this as well

Seems you really don't know edo culture and you limit yourself to a particular aspect of edo history and not the vast aspect of it...


I woul tell you again read more on benin history

Read benin-esan history

Truthvalue:
Gregyboy, you misded this as well

This were you also get it wrong britsh didnt invent tribal segregation in Nigeria or Africa neither did they do the groupings themselves we Nigerians did

Aworis are not edos


Forcing aworis as edo is like thesame thing Tao11 is currently doing to falsely turn oba of benin as a yoruba man, or the yorubas claiming edo state state as Yoruba state

I dont also buy on your dwellings on eyewitness account as long is an old document which doesn't predate 1897 it is accepted


You have not stayed in Nigeria for long like we have, what you're doing calling aworis edos will only promote hate....


Edo and esans are the true edos, the rest are foreigners


The britsh once ruled over Nigeria doesnt make Nigerians britsh

You won't understand because you are not a woman. And just because you have sex with women doesn't mean they are sex objects.
And why the fúck should I be happy that men ask me for sex?? It sounds ridiculous.
Sex is not happiness,sex is overrated that is why u guys see it as enjoyment.
Them never call una useless and sex objects na, that's why e look normal to u and your fellow guys.

Ok women are money loving object...

Have that solved the problem

It seems I was igbo in my former life

iLegendd:
You're just an "attention illiterate" and that's why you're still poor and will still be in 2023 if you don't change.

I love attention because I convert it to currency. If not, I wouldn't love it. I'm giving you attention right now, but you can't do anything with it. One week later, you'll be forgotten.

You don't read books, so you'll never know the power of attention. Instead, you'll abuse those who do. I know you're going to be addicted to me after this thread.

You'll monitor me and abuse me in my subsequent threads with your alternate monikers.

I promise you, by this time 2023, you'll still be on Nairaland roaming because you're not focused and you don't know the power of attention.

Listen

To a wise man, attention is money.
To an unwise man like you, attention is nuisance and it's annoying.

I hear, atleast give us a good attention

And not always showing your room or your face in a faceless forum...


Attention is money fine no doubt but give us good attention and give us something new

Bro forget it....

Lemme click your name and view a few of your old comments and laugh.

I for dash you this my book for free, but I know say book no fit enter your coconut head — na fraud, pastor Chris (of Christ Embassy) relaxer, and who to scam full am.

Buhari was actually right when he said Nigerian youths are lazy. You are who he was referring to. #Smile.

Would my good English help you to stop suffocating we nairalanders with your useless and aimless threads

TAO11:
Emotionally blackmailing gregyboy has taken over.

Gregyboy, please say yes sir. At least, he will free you from this emotional blackmail and bullying.

Gregyboy help yourself, and agree with him.

Change your mind gregyboy. Please do.

For your own sanity.

Keep shut when elders are speaking

Truthvalue:
I[b] did too and judging by eye-witness records, the Awori are Edo[/b].

This is were you get it wrong aworis are not edos eyewitness could misinterpret everything
Aworis being under the bini command does not make them edo,

They are Yoruba's and even if they claim edo they will only face discrimination and would never be fully accepted as edoid...

The only true edo are esans and benins the rest from edo north downward are too mixed to be edos..

And i dont believe in amassing population to our tribe... We are ok as we are...


Claiming the awori lands as edos which it is is a good one, but aworis are Yoruba's

Before benin discovered lagos, the aworis already had contact with ijebus making them yoruba related

iLegendd:
As promised above, I went through just one of your thread out of 64 and I was embarrassed. I couldn't even read further.

Once again you so much love attention quit it and be shameful for it, instead of digging my post to get at me...

Attention seeking mofo

Next week it would be another thread of you being gay or posting your house with a lady or doing give away to get more attention from begging youth online....while amassing fake followers to yourself....

I guess you don't feel comfortable when people tell you the truth....

iLegendd:
[s]Because more people know me, more people like me, and more people hate me compared to you who no one cares about. I don't know you, but you're forcing yourself on me.

With all these, you don't need to be surprised about my post getting thousands of views in minutes or hours.

Also, I'm engaging, I'm crazy, I'm humble, I'm arrogant, I'm poor, I'm rich rich, I'm dumb, I'm smart, I'm ugly, I'm cute, I'm short, I'm tall, I'm calm, I'm a loud, I'm hardworking, I'm lazy, I'm a village champion, I'm well-travelled, I'm mature and responsible and at the same time, I'm immature and irresponsible. The list is endless.

In summary, I'm an embodiment of what frustrated people like you wish to be. Unfortunately, you can't, so you resort to hate and envy.

With all these mixed attributes, I'm a mystery and that's why you're hooked on me. You're not the only one. Your cousin(s) that came into my life never want(s) to leave — I'm the one always trying to leave. I have got a lot to offer.

So, I'm addictive and that's why. From today, you don't need be surprised again.

If you want to succeed in this digital age, you must possess at least, 30% of those qualities I listed above, then incorporate it in copywriting.

Do you know what copywriting is? Look at him running to Google. Odé.

Once you again you too like attention.... Chill u dey embarrass yourself

And stop piling fake attention to yourself

iLegendd:
Why you like giving me your attention like this? You no dey tire? Nawa oo.

If we're to be mentally examined, the psychiatrist will say I'm a million times wiser than you for getting your attention with ease.

No offense — just being honest as usual.

Oga go sitdown u too like attention...

I prefer d airfirce1 guy pass u, how your post take dey reach here dey surprise me...

iLegendd:
As a gay, I decided to marry myself and below are my pre-wedding photos.

No woman, no cry.

Guy why you like attention like this na, u nor dey tire... Nawa oo

But Truthvalue claiming awori is edo or benin is wrong in all aspect, historically and otherwise,

History shouldn't be manipulated

The true edos are esans and benins the rest are sub group...

TAO11:
Baldie,

When will you stop being a bondservant to the very light skinned people who mutilated my native Yoruba name “Awori” into different sloppy European renderings such as:

“Awani,” and “Ahouy” among many other mutilations of the native Yoruba name “Awori”??

When will you stop?? When?? Just give me a date.

Perhaps, all the different sloppy European renderings and mutilations are all the actual indigenous name.

SMH!

Exactly how, he (the Oba of Lagos — Oba of Akiolu) was extremely clear when he said:

the Alaafin of Oyo is my father.

And exactly how he (Oba of Lagos) was similarly clear when he said:

Lagos does NOT belong to Benin kingdom.


And exactly how writers from the late 1700s have noted that Lagos land is Awori land.

And exactly how Aworis (of both Lagos & Ogun) have repeatedly pointed to their homeland — IFE.


On all these, do reasonable people (who have not being infested with low-self esteem and inferiority complex) stand.

Precolonial map of Africa below shows how GUINEA conquered owns Benin kingdom.

No cure for diabetes bro my uncle used herbal

Depressed101:
op I have always asked my self that question, most of the food we eat in nigeria today were not introduced to us until the 19th century.. Are food are greatly influenced by our colonial masters.. I asked my grandma same question years (blessed mother may her soul continue to rest in peace) she told me there was a cassava, but not the type we have now, that one was bitter and black when cooked, it contained alot of cyanide. She told me there was no eba or garri. Just black bitter fufu. Achicha, lucost beans,Yam and other nutritious local foods

Most soups were vegetables untill the Portuguese brought melon seeds to the edos

Pineapple in edo is called whitemans fruit

They took many crops from different continent to united state and Europe most of the crops didnt grow there thats why they still stuck with their vegetables delicacy, Asians were the continent God blessed with so many food crops most of the crops today were gotten from asia and taken to other continent

Depressed101:
look if you want to talk history, don't talk to me with what you read and found on the internet .. I will have to take you to my home place, where I personally have a collection of historically artifacts including wood, and iron carvings of, masquerade masks, flute and music instruments some dating as far back as 200+ years ago..

Those masquerade mask in igob land were recent invention the best they had was masquerade covered with beads and neated grasses to cover their face...

Brass casting could have been purchased and were limited to the few populace


The igbos were naked bush people who had no sense of belonging

That wood work i posted there is from 16c which 1500Ad....equivalent


You igbos that were eating raw leaves without oil or maggi, and having the whitemen for breakfast ooh please

Depressed101:
the binis where not wood carvers they were bronze sculptors, ibos curved artifacts from wood,

Are you kidding me bro... Benin were skilled in both wood carvings and metal artworks along with clay molding


You will have to go along way to prove the igbos were wood carvers hope you wont bring one igbo ukwu artwork as a refrence point...

We even exported our wood carving techniques to the Eastern yorubas im owo

angiography:
@op
Do you know that even up to 1950's, food made from Cassava were not popular in rural Yoruba villages/towns. In fact, my father once told me that first person that are fufu in their village was called into a meeting and was labelled a lazy man. Pounded yam was the main stay. Fresh pounded yam, and fermented pounded yan

Before your father's started eating pounded yam what were they eating, boiled tubers.
I dont think Yorubas were skilled in wood carving except eastern Yorubas that benin taught wood carvings...


Everybody claiming pounded yam these days makes it annoying and they remove the fact that before you make pounded yam you must have pistol and mortal to piund which comes from wood carving... Which majority tribes were unskilled at....

Even the melon plant for making egusi was introduced by the Portuguese from asia to the benins as exchange for their own crop..

But today all tribes drag pounded yam and egusi delicacy with we benins

The processing of Cassava into garri could be trace to niger delta, since they get their starch swallow from garri

As for the rest they began eating pounded yam after the fusion of nigeria

They hate their tubers of boiled yams with oil and their soup, like that

siofra:
Pounded yam nko?

Pounded yam was recently adopted by Nigerians from edos, every other tribe ate thier tubers without pounding it...


They didnt have the skill to carve wood to pound their yams only the benins were wood carvers in history

Most tribe didnt eat pounded yam, they mostly consumed platain with soup or ate the yam boiled


Before you can make pounded yam, you must first have pistol and mortal which wasnt really available then...

So how did all these tribe claiming pounded yam pound

The truth is only the benins who were wood carvers could make pounded yam

Pounded yam and egusi is an edo food adopted by many Nigerians after the collapse of kingdom

tchidi066:
My mum told me the same, she said cassava never originated from igbo land, it was more of cocoyam, yam and wateryam, that was what was used to eat soup and you know cocoyam has varieties, there are some that can be boiled and eaten, while there are some used to prepare soup like oha and bitterleaf soup, there is also the reddish type, then there are other tubers, like the one called "onah" in igbo, its yellowish and has this bitter taste. Also, i don't think achebe ever mentioned cassava in things fall apart, i am not sure.

Water yam was introduced by the Portuguese to the benins...

Pineapple = eden-bo meaming whitemans fruit was also introduced by the Portuguese to the benins notice the bo in ebo meaning whiteman
