-There has been a lack of masculine role models in the daily lives of Nigerian males in the last 3 decades hence the confusion we see amongst males on what it entails to be a man today.
-The popularity of Nigerian pop music,nollywood movies even the Nigerian comedies Nigerian men consume is filled with women worshippers and women worshipping themes.Western entertainment is a worse form of cancer.
The mother worshipping which is prevalent amongst Nigerian men (and which they carry like a badge of honour)is another issue Nigerian males have got to do away with because it indirectly leads to woman worship.

There are other issues to contend with but the lack of masculine role models is the main one.It's also a major issue in many societies and communities around the world
The bolded is a very big issue,
The truth is the worshipping of their mothers ends only the internet .... And it is full of hypocrisy, they will come on net to praise thier moms and in reality they have not done anything tangible for her ....
The most painful is the father who were constantly risking thier lives for the family on countless bases to make sure the families feeds,and gets a better live, but are often neglected by the children when it comes to honour ,they would rather praise their mothers ,even the daughters who are meant to be closer to thier fathers do the same thing no honour for the men in the world....
The only contribution women have given men is pussy ...
Men are constanly enderged by females all over the world since inception

Oyo empire was trash ,it was not even an empire ,it was a kingdom....
How did they defeat dahomey and how did they rule over them ,no war was fought so how did they occupy thier areas

Oyo never extended beyond neighbouring yoruba nations those other part it extended are frictions claims

RedboneSmith:
The kingdom of Dahomey was conquered by and paid tribute to Oyo up until the 19th century. So was the kingdom of Weme, and a number of other polities in present day Benin Republic.

Within Nigeria, parts of Nupe and Bariba paid tribute to Oyo until they took advantage of political problems in Oyo-Ile to revolt in the 1780s and 1790s.

Also, an empire doesn't neccessarily have to consist of different linguistic groups to qualify as an empire. A political state built up by conquest of formerly autonomous political units that pays tribute to the conquering sovereign is an empire. This is why Japan is an empire despite the fact that everyone in the empire is Japanese. That is also why the Holy Roman Empire was an empire even at the time when the empire only consisted of German-speaking peoples.

So, even if Oyo never conquered the Aja peoples of Dahomey, it would still be accurate to reckon it as an empire since the Egba and the Egbado who paid tribute to the Alaafin were distinct cultural units from the Oyo, despite also being Yoruba.
Nupe paid what big lie my friend

An emoire that was defeated by female warriors from dahomey ,how come we have yorubas in benin republic
Dahomey actually took them as slaves to thier land

Oyo is never an empire and stop rubbing shoulders with benin empire if not for the britsh we could extended to empire to whole of Nigeria

Romance › Re: Am Done With Nigerian Girls by gregyboy(m):
Weselion:
A friend of mine was asking this young lady out (the lady is also my friend). She told him point blank that she couldn't date him.

Some years later, my lady friend got admission into my school and we got talking. My friend that she rejected said I should help him monitor the babe. I couldn't do that because I knew hey we're not in any serious relationship.

Now his lady wasn't dating my friend but she was asking for things, food stuffs, school fees, e.t.c.

When I ask my friend for money he tells me stories but when this lady asks for money, he borrows to give her. Sometimes he even calls me to borrow from me.

My male friend helped his crush get two jobs at two different times (she was a part time student). Even with the job, she was still demanding things, my friend was still giving.

I told my male friend to leave this babe but him no gree. She told me why she couldn't date him saying he was too childish, didn't know what he wanted etc. She was right.

I told my male friend that his crush had mad up her mind. I gave him hints of what she said. I told him she was dating someone else... A soldier who lied to her that he couldn't get his salary because of BVN issues and she believed.

She was crushing on the soldier guy but the soldier wasn't sending Shi** throughout her days in school.

My male friend wouldn't listen to me. So I gave up on advising him.

Me and the lady were still in the same school but we lost touch.

Fast forward to 2019, my friend called me and asked me why I haven't been telling him things. He said his crush came to his house pregnant to carry her stuffs (her bags were in his house).

Even me was just hearing about the pregnancy for the first time.




At one point, this same friend of mine was asking one Delta babe out. Same thing happened with the previous babe, she was demanding things but wasn't ready to be in a relationship with him.

This one even told him point blank that she is dating up to 10 guys and she will pick the best amongst them and that he should also do the same.

When she was about writing her final project, she called him for money. My friend told me about this and I told him he was just wasting his time and limited resources. Luckily for him he listened.

This happened while he was still asking the other out




This my male friend was an apprentice, he was learning a trade while all this was happening.

Immediately he finished learning his trade, he started getting jobs and making money, furnished his house well.

Three months ago, he called me to tell me that a lady got pregnant for him.

He got married early this month.




I have another friend who was taking an ND1 student tutorials. I knew this lady was not ready for any relationship. Me and another friend tried to talk this guy out of it, but he wouldn't budge because this lady was beautiful.

They started dating and she was just using this guy to collect free tutorials, feeding and maybe se**X.

My friend had a change of heart when he went through her WhatsApp message and saw her chat with another guy saying she can't even think of marrying him because he's fat, not rich etc.

My guy was still attached but with time they eventually broke up.




If you are in school, ah aware will get tired of hearing news like this.

I believe we guys are the cause of our problems.

A lot of Young girls in high institutions are not ready for any serious relationship. It always ends in tears.

It is a law that cannot be changed.
We the single broke guys have heard what you have said, it really scares us to even try to date....


There is a gal am expecting who came to see her guy from ph in benin the guy spends on her ,and even sent her money for her transport....
As soon as she is donw with her guy she will come to my place and come and give me free...without spending kobo

I keep telling guys money is the reasons for most failed relationship, because without money most guys wont even date or see a ladies pant
I know this because i dont have money am broke getting into a relationship is the hardest thing on earth for people like me ,even if i get into it never last because no funds to keeo it going ,but at thesame time it has opened ours eyes to how we see women and how men are fools

I agree with you except in the last part. It’s the reverse Bro! Ask guys that are based abroad! They are very careful with the type of girls they bring from Nigeria if they decide to marry from Home. Most Nigerian girls become wild when they get abroad! They capitalize on the fact that the system favors them to ruin the guy. Unlike in Nigeria where a guy can put the wife away when she messes up with no fear of legal consequences, abroad is different.
I know of a guy that married from Nigeria abroad, when the girl got there, she started misbehaving ! She connived with her mom to create hell for the guy. They eventually had a divorce and as usual half of his property was given to the girl according to USA law.

PS: they had a child and till today the guy is still paying child support
I think we men are the cause to why our ladies are misbehaving we spend to much on them ,to even care what they really need
Most relationship in nigeria are based on benefits mostly from the females
We nigerian men are spending to much and the ladies compensate us with love for our money a girl who truely love you wont want to go outside and test another guys dick ,even if she curious....because she will be scared to loose the guy she loves

The girl in question didn't really think she lost much ,the part she will feel is the better live she would have lived with you...
And not loosing you....
The guy who bleeped her may only had giving her coke or pepsi...

South africans even knows we spend too much on our ladies

Nope it’s vice versa
Your king is an egiso
Why did you people adopt oba a Yoruba word
Even iya oba is a Yoruba word
An Oyo prince oranmiyan usurped power from egiso and till today his linage still rules over Benin

Till today you see Benins bearing Yoruba names
Adesuwa , Dele momudu

We gave you AC, ACN
We gave you Obaseki & Oshiomole
Lol the first person your new oba of Benin came to visit was ooni of Ife

I’m going to give it to Benin they tried they occupied lower sections of ondo all the way to Lagos Island and stretched all the way past onitsha where they traded igbos as slaves . Unlike the Fulanis who impose Islam they operated a tributary model

And who gave you the delusion yam festival is an edo affair lol it’s celebrated all across west Africa



However in terms of duration of existence and continuity they didn’t meet up with the Yorubas
Benin has now been reduced to 4 local governments
Where as Yorubas still occupy 8 states in Nigeria
Lower ondo and Lagos back then is the kwara of today for Yorubas

Anthony enahoro that left ncnc to avoid Igbo domination by Azikwe is the one your saying came to liberate us loooool
Was it not awolowo that gave you free Education
Till today in Niger delta
Edo and delta stands out
Even the igbos of delta still enjoy the Yoruba leadership effect some of the most succesful Igbo men are delta igbos Tony E.and Jim Ovia
We gave you our cocoa wealth to liberate yourselves but Italy has taking over
The entire Europe now relates ancient Benin with international trafficking

At least skull mining is a local affair

And no edo man rules an inch of Yoruba land in present !
Our kings transcend its name during the beginning of a new era they changed from ogiso( sky kings) to oba
The word oba" spread its influence over yoruba territory because they were once vassals under the empire
If oromiyan truely brought the word oba" to benin were did he get it from the only known king in ife was ooni he should have installed himself ooni ,even the oromiyan we are talking about didnt even rule as a king in benin not to start saying he brought a foreign word to benin

Its simple the word oba had its origin to benin it simply got into yoruba lexicon because edo had influence over half of yoruba nation just the way prime minster got into different nations of the world because of British influence, yorubas have different words for kings and non used the word oba ,so you can conclude that by yourself now

Haha, the influenced people are now saying they influenced,
the conquered are now saying they influenced the conquerors, how can a conquered tribe still be bigoted to ask ,the owners of the words (adesuwa, oba) it like saying nigeria saying they own english or christanity because they became so advance than the britsh in the future years

You gave us what!!! Ac ,acn you must be high if not for oshiomole influence what would have become of apc today,
And the ooni came for oba coronation but oba didnt even go for his...lol ,he only went to tell all the kings thanks for thier respect for attending his coronation and nothing special about who he visited first....

Did you see the dignitries who came for our oba of benin coronation ,can you compare it to the watery one ooni had....lol
It was even rated amongst the most searched on that month, but no one heard about oonis coronation

Awolowo did what gave free education to edo you must be high ,ambrose ali was the person who gave both delta and edo free education....

Anthony enawohro fought and spoke out for us to be independence ,dele giwa who died speaking out for nigeria

John Momoh, Nigerian broadcast journalist and CEO of Channels TV


Are all these yorubas or influenced in anyway by them.... I keep saying it edo by population are very few even fewer than delta state but its influence are rated amongst the three big tribes imagine if we had the population

And a yoruba man has never ruled an inch in the present edo but edo are still ruling yorubas as kings as little as they are

Edo was the war zone in the civil war ,there was no empire or know existing kingdom who they fought so literally biafrans defeated nigerian soldiers in edo state

Our people are into prostitution it is better than skull mining

How we going to talk how edo man ruled yorubaland as governors or the edo kings in yorubalands that are still rulling till date

Or tge oduduwa we gave ife and became yoruba most respected king

Or

The yam fesrivals we gave the yoruba people and they are still practising it today

Or
.the edo coral red beeds that all the yoruba kings are wearing ,

Culture › Esan Contributions To Benin Emoire Part 2 by gregyboy(op): 5:37pm On Dec 22, 2019
The people of Irrua (Iruwa), named after the Edo princess who married the
first Enogie of Irrua, and the people of Evbohimwin belong to the Ishan/Esan
clan, of the Edo-speaking group. Ishan/Esan is the closest to "BINI" ie
the dialect of those who live in and around Benin City. In fact, when the
people of Benin sneezes, those in Ishan/Esan develop hiccups, then and now.
Riots that erupts in Benin politically, often reverbarates in Ishan/Esan
land. Before 1897, the Ishans/Esans were the most avid defender of the
Edo monarchy. It is not surprising, because Ishan/Esan women have produced
most of Obas of Benin. Eheniuan, the first Ezomo of Benin, who later
became the commander of the Benin/Edo Royal army is of Ishan descent.
The family greeting is "LAGIESAN-La Ogiesan."
Evbohimwin, from what we know , is probably the oldest DUKEDOM in Ishan/Esan
land. The Enogieship of Evbohimwin is a descendant of one of the OGISOS of
Edo history. But with in the last hundred years., the Enogie of Irrua
suddenly became the leader of Enigies in Ishan/Esan land. Whenever the
Ishan/Esans are gathered, the Irrua man would normally demand the right to
break the almighty KOLA NUTS, but not without a fight from other
Ishans/Esans . Why is this so?
The reason for this phenomenon can be broken into these parts:
a) Although the dukedom of Evbohimwin is probably the oldest, it has always
been a haven for Edo princes fleeing from the oba of Benin after a
protracted succession struggle. It was also a sort of military out post.
Everybody wanted the control of military outposts of Orhodua and Evbohimwin
to be in their hands. Obanosa was the Oba of Benin, 1804-1816. When he
died, his two eldest sons, Princes Ogbebor and Erediauwa slugged it out for
the throne. Prince Ogbebor won and Prince Erediauwa ran to Evbohimwin for
safety. His mother was an Ishan/Esan woman from Evbohimwin. Prince
Ogbebor, now the Oba of Benin, tried desperately to dislodge Erediauwa from
Evbohimwin. He sent messegers to Ishan/Esan, loaded with coral beads and
money, to encourage the Enigies in Ishan/Esan to turn over Prince Erediuwa
to him or have his head brought to him in a box.
Unfortunately, the supporters of Prince Erediauwa waylaid the messegers to
Ishan/Esan, killed many of them and carted way the loot to Prince
Erediauwa. Prince Erediauwa now distributed the loot to the Enigies in
Ishan/Esan
begging for their support and protection. In the ensuing civil war, the
army of Oba Ogbebor was defeated. He killed himself, after blowing the
palace to pieces with gun powder. He reigned for only eight months.
Prince Erediauwa marched into Benin City, ahead of an Ishan/Esan dominated
military. He was crowned Oba Osemwende of Benin in 1816. It was Oba
Osewende who granted to the Enogie of Uromi, the right to inherit the estate
of any person who died childless within Uromi district. This was his
reward for supplying men and material in the war to reconquer Akure in
1818-20 rebellion and the battle in defence of the Ekitis against the Ibadans.

b) During his reign, he noticed there was an intrigue, to prevent his senior
son nicknamed " Ogbewekon,"
from ascending the throne when he passes on. Prince Ogbewekon and Odin-ovba
who later became known as
Oba Adolor were born on the same day. Prince Ogbewekon was born first but
reported last to the palace. Oba Osemwende found out that Prince
Ogbewekon's mother had been misled by the Edo chiefs at OGBE quarter in
Benin City, tired of Ishan/Esan (QUEENS) mothers of Obas. Added to that,
was the intrigue of Princess AGHAYUBINI, the most senior daughter of Oba
Osemwende., the mother of the OSULAS and AIWERIOGHENES of Benin. She had
become very wealthy by trading with the Itsekhiris. This is the popular
Itsekhiri factor in the Benin Royal family.
When Oba Osemwende passed on, Ogbewekon bypassed and Odin-ovba installed as
Oba Adolor, there was another civil disturbance. Prince Ogbewekon ran
first to Evbohimwin and finally settled at Igueben were he raised an army
with which he wanted to invade Benin City. From his hide out at Igueben,
he made life uncomfortable for Oba Adolor in Ishan/Esan land. The Enogie
of Evbohimwin was also involved. The AMAHO UPRISING of 1853/54 in
Ishan/Esan land, had Prince Ogbewekon signature all over it. It was General
Ebohon of Ova, the same general who stopped OGEDENGBE of Ilesha at
Irhuekpen, who put down the uprising with alot of bloodshed.

c) When Oba Adolor passed on, Oba Ovonramwen was installed as the Oba of
Benin in 1888, but not without a fight from his brother, Prince OROKHORO.
Prince Orokhoro lost and ran first to Evbohimwin and then to Orhodua in
Ishan/Esan land. His mother was also an Ishan/Esan. He was busy raising
an army in Ishan/Esan when the British army struck in 1897. These were
some of the factors responsible for the defeat of the Benin army by the
British army in 1897
.
To punish Evbohimwin and the Enogie for supporting rebellious Edo Princes,
Erhumwunse (Eromosele), the Enogie of Irrua, the son of Enogie ISIDAHOME 1,
the son of Enogie OGBEIDE, who commited suicide for ordering the death of a
pregnant woman between 1830 and 1847, was made OKA-EGIESAN by Oba Ovonramwen
in 1895.
He was given ADA, the Sword of Office. He therefore became OGIE ADA.
This elevated him far and beyond the Enogie of Evbohimwin. The people of
Irrua and Uromi down to Ekpoma were so involved in th 1897 war, that when
Enogie Eromosele of Irrua visited Benin City in 1917, after the restoration
of the monarchy, he was received with pomp and pegeantry in Benin City by
Oba Eweka 11 and the chiefs. His son and successor Enogie MOMODU was
always at Benin palace. Enogie Isidahomhen who succeded Eromosele ,
followed his father's footstep. He too was always at the palace. He
actually stayed and studied Native Administration under Oba Akenzua 11.

Oka-Egiesan of Ishan/Esan land, occupies the position of PRIMUS INTER PARES
in a gathering of the Ishan Enigies. It is also important to note that Oba
Osemwende , whose mother was an Evbohimwin lady, had given ODIA, the Enogie
of Evbohimwin an ODIGBA-a bearded neck collar of Edo nobility. He also
gave him two flint-lock guns, which can still be seen at Evbohimwin today.
Those guns are fired ceremonially once a year When Oba Ovonramwen made
the Enogie of Irrua Oka-Egiesan, he virtually took seniority from Evbohimwin
and gave it to the people of Irrua for loyal service to the EDO NATION, as
they saw it then. This is why the people of Irrua would always demand
that, they break the KOLA NUTS whenever the Ishans/Esans are gathered.
BUT, BUT AND BUT, Evbohimwin has been fighting back, to regain its lost
position and will continue for sometime.

There's nothing like hate in my comment. I just penned my observation on the so called 'Oyo Empire'. Like I said, the relics of all old empires are there for all to see. From the Assyrian to our own nearby Benin empires, their artifacts speak volumes of their accomplishments. As for Oyo, there are no such things. I never said that Oyo wasn't great in her peak. I just see them like I see the Igalas who were able to extend their influence militarily into northern Igboland, Idomaland and even into Benin areas but couldn't cement it into an empire level. If you have facts, provide them here.
There were European explorers in the 18th century who visited the present Nigerian areas and documented what they saw. Their works are a solid yardstick to prove ones point in issues like this since you claimed that the Oyo empire witnessed it's peak period within the 18th century. Don't give me any history written by a contemporary Yoruba historian.
Finally, give me 4 ethnic groups that they Oyos were able to make subjects under their control and show me the relics of the Oyos there in the present age.
The oyo empire shit was made up ,the only visable thing about the empire is d war the had with benin ruplic female warriors which they lost...

Arguing with you would only make me stupid like you. And to make the matter worst you lack sense of history.

Meanwhile oyo empire was established on 12th century and it was collapsed in 18th century.

By 1680, the Oyo Empire spanned over 150,000 square kilometers. It reached the height of its power in the 18th century.
Oyo empire conquered dahomey and part of Togo. Many empires signed a treaty with oyo empire from been attack and free trade routes. Popular among them are, Ghana.
Sosso.
Mali.
Songhai.
Sokoto Caliphate.
Akan Kingdoms and emergence of Asante Empire.

However oyo empire grew to become the largest Yoruba state. It rose through the outstanding organizational and administrative skills of the Yoruba people, wealth gained from trade and its powerful cavalry. The Oyo Empire was the most politically important state in the region from the mid-15th to the late 18th century,holding sway not only over most of the other kingdoms in Yorubaland, but also over nearby African states, notably the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey in the modern Republic of Benin to the west.

In conclusion the fact that you ibos hate Yoruba, i think it doesn't make sense to undermine their accomplishments. This tribe has been blessed and God made them head over all thing's.
Oyo empire has no record of any ,at all
It was a disorganized kingdom,no history on how this vassal state were agglomerated under it, like how did they conquer thier vassals ,
The oyo kingdom was more a social economic gathering by different Yoruba clans this various clans were political autonomous ,when oyo decided to expand is kingdom further through social contract ,
And faiiled it resulted to the collaspe of the empire,

The sokoto empire was more organized ,but the vassal state were autonomous too ,bello used diplomacy to organised the empire

Unlike the benins that were very organised
Both socially and military they built a fortified defence around the city incase of war they were military strong and if they had a clash with this two empire they might have come victorious

For instance benin gave military support to ekiti ,in the ekiti and ibadan war and ekiti came victorious this was the fearless ibadan warrior that no yorubas could match at that time but with benin military power Ibadan was crushed,

2) ogedengebe of osun state that was the military warlord at that time ,when he aporoached edo territory up north the benin warriors from edo central was declared by the oba to overthrew them ,which they did ,the edo military commander was ebohon

3, when the fulani jihadist approached edo ,
The oba sent is military and they were dispatched immediately

4) the igala Benin war...which the benin came victorious even when the military were exposed by the benin chief

5) the vassal in the empire , ondo ,ekiti ,eko,osun,delta,

The kingdom could not expand further because they lacked the military expertise to control a bigger territory ,they were always faced with reconquering of vassal under it ,nevertheless the benin military at the time could have matched and crumble any existing empire ,and it was the last empire to have fallen after the British invasion

[quote author=babtoundey post=85088970][/quote]If the kogi people like you believe inikpi history was between igala and jukun people then it tells how the kogi educational system has been damaged ,how shows the kogi people dont even read and they can believe aby garbbish from their tutors,

Anyway the igala sacrificed two of her princess at different century
The first was between benin and igala, which was inikpi

The second was between jukun and igala

Am sorry ,a stranger like me had to school you on your people history,i wonder if igala people or kogi people go to school if they cant even get thier oral history correct

So non-Benin actor cannot act or has never acted the role of Benin or interpret Benin history?

And, it's fantastic to know you know the people's history more than the people themselves. As far as the history is narrated by you, there can never be addition, omission and embellishment. But when the history is told from the perspective of the people it relates with and it doesn't suit your narrayive, it's going to be "bleeped".

Inkpi and her legendary role in Igala kindom, as far as I know and have read about, has little or nothing to do with Benin. Inkpi's story is in relation with the Igala/Jukum (Iwarefa empire) and not Benin.
You see why history is needed in our educational system for people like you...

You mean...even the attah that attest that the war was fought with benin has gone mad
