TAO11:
Disproven Egharevba? LMFAO!!!
Which Edo liar disproved Egharevba? You obviously need to go back to high school to really understand what it means to disprove.
If you can cite me one --- just one --- Edo author who meets the following characteristics, then I will start citing that author:
(i) The work of the Edo author must be earlier than that of the Edo author (i.e. Chief Egharevba) that I cited.
(ii) The work of the Edo author must cite the source of its information, as well as the name of its Edo informants.
(iii) The work of the Edo author must be recognized in Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large as more authoritative than Egharevba's.
Guess what, you can never come forward with any such work, even from your made-up so-called Center of Historical Knowledge, located in heaven, right? Lol!  .
I challenge you to come forward with the proof just as requested.
You cant find any such work and the reason is simple. Egharevba's account of Benin History is the first and the earliest from any Edo person living or dead.
And contrary to your lie, his work has been praised by the leading experts and scholars of Benin History from all over the world. The leading and world-renowned scholar on Benin History, Professor R. E. Bradbury remarked about Chief Egharevba's account of Benin in the following words:
"It has become something of a classic, known and relied upon not only in Nigeria, but by scholars all over the world, (as) ... a valuable, indeed an indispensable, pioneering work."
He lauded Chief Egharevba's work for the very thing that later Benin revisionists (such as: S. B. Omoregie; E. Akenzua; D. U. Edebiri; A. Iyare; D. N. Orosanye; N. Omoigui; among other Benin 21st century e-rats like your self) will fail to do, namely: No citation of sources of their information and no names of informants.
Professor Bradbury lauded Chief J. U. Egharevba for gathering his data: "from well-selected informants who had grown to maturity before 1897. The memories of which they retained of past traditions had not had much time to be overlaid and distorted by pressing interests and new problems of the modern world."
It is certainly Benin e-rats like you, and not experts, who "disproved" Chief J. U. Egharevba.
Whether you Benin e-rats like Egharevba or not because he wrote the pure and unadulterated truth of Benin History, he remains the leading and most authoritative Edo historian recognized not only in Nigeria and Africa, but also all over the world.
Bring forward a more authoritative Edo author alongside your proof if you believe otherwise. Lol!
However, Chief Egharevba was not the only scholar who attested to the Benin tradition of sending some remains of a late Oba of Benin to Ile-Ife for burial, this fact was also attested by others scholars.
I cited you A. F. C. Ryder's A Reconsideration of the Ife-Benin Relationship wherein he alluded to R. E. Bradbury's personal experience with the Edos. Ryder writes:
"In a personal communication, Dr R. E. Bradbury points out that 'the Edo speak of the messengers who CARRIED THE OBA's REMAINS TO IFE ...' "
---- see: A. F. C. Ryder, "A Reconsideration of the Ife-Benin Relationship", The Journal of African History, Vol. 6 (1), 1965, footnote 10.
Another scholarly mention of this Benin tradition is also found (among other works) in R. C. C. Law's work wherein he admitted in very clear, emphatic, and unmistakable terms that:
"At Benin, parts of the bodies of the deceased kings were sent to Ile Ife for burial"
---- see: R. C. C. Law, "The Heritage of Oduduwa", The Journal of African History, Vol. 14 (2), 1973, p. 211.
Moreover, you've just been caught lying about the facial scarification. You're obviously a liar and an ignoramus, but I would not cease to expose you to the world and also to always educate you until you leave here better than you came.
Firstly, the facial marking on the sculpture was not an artistic impression of beauty by the sculptor, but rather (as I have already educated you earlier) an ethnic facial scarification of one of the two dynastic lines of Ife.
And I have attached a photograph of a middle-aged 20th century modern Ife man with such ethnic marking; thus proving that the marking is a cultural reality.
--- see the attached photoograph one more time.
Secondly, Ife art (as admitted even by experts) is based on what is called naturalism and realism as opposed to your made-up so-called artistic perception which has been crushed above anyways.
Furthermore, did you just unashamedly say that no proof has been adduced for the Benin tradition of burying the severed head of every third reign late Oba of Benin at the Orun Oba 'Do site in Ile-Ife? 
At this point I need to ask you a very pertinent question namely: How many proofs make one proof? because you've earlier-on been provided with at least two proofs. And one more has just been included now.
For a refresher see the proofs below one more time:
(i) "The head of the royal corpse was subsequently exhumed and taken to royal ancestral grave at Ile-Ife: but this was only done in every third reign."
--- see: J. U. Egharevba, Benin Law and Custom, (CMS Niger Press, Port Harcourt 1946), p. 72.
--- see also: J. U. Egharevba, A Short History of Benin, (3rd ed., 1960), p. 9.
--- see also: Benin Law and Custom (1934).
(ii) "In a personal communication, Dr R. E. Bradbury points out that 'the Edo speak of the messengers who CARRIED THE OBA's REMAINS TO IFE ...' "
--- see: A. F. C. Ryder, "A Reconsideration of the Ife-Benin Relationship", The Journal of African History, Vol. 6 (1), 1965, footnote 10.
(iii) "At Benin, parts of the bodies of the deceased kings were sent to Ile Ife for burial"
--- see: R. C. C. Law, "The Heritage of Oduduwa", The Journal of African History, Vol. 14 (2), 1973, p. 211.
(iv) And lastly, I am still waiting on you for the homework I gave you regarding a comparison of the total number of third reign Obas of Benin prior to Ovanramwen AND the total number of burial pits found by Frank Willett at Orun Oba Ado site when he excavated the site during his 1961-2 archaeological excavation.
And mind you, the particular reason why these heads have to come back home is simply a tradition of acknowledging Yorubaland as home. Other Yoruba kings reside already within Yorubaland.
And lastly, on your idiotic statement that the Europeans "didn't COMPLETELY let go of guns because they found bombs or nuclear weapon":
I am shocked and worried that you're too dumb to realize that the Yorubas likewise didn't completely let go of beads for silver, gold, and diamond.
They simply "modernized" and evolved into a different beaded costume, style, and regalia; while largely letting go of a specific beaded costume, style, and regalia which they'd invented and introduced to others less privileged culturea, including the Binis.
Furthermore, I am shocked that you went mute on the point I raised about the earlier date of bead production and use at re-use as compared to the centuries later that it was first to be used in Benin kingdom during the reign of your Oba Ewuare.
Are you implying that your Oba Ewuare lived before your fictitious Idoduwa (or Izoduwa, or Imadoduwa, or Omonoyan, or Ekaladerhan) because you claimed that your fictitious Idoduwa (or Izoduwa, or Imadoduwa, or Omonoyan, or Ekaladerhan) wore beads; whereas beads wasn't used by the Binis until during Ewuare's reign ??
You're obviously a brainwashed and confused MUGU!!! And who said bead's weren't used before the ewares days...lol you probably have read to many craps on the internet that has made you incapable of thinking for yourself ...the benin palace is the centre of historical knowledge which egharevba never got close to .... Because he was the earliest edo writer would make is works right .you can agree to the fact thst all works of today where improvement of earlier works. i believe you know this. before the advent of the Portuguese benins already wore beads ...unlike the yorubas that thier beads had to be gotten from the fulanis...you're a clown my friend You need to improve on self knowledge dont just read craps from the internent and start believing ..even if you get to read from the internent at least do a calculative research first Egharevbas made mentioned of buried heads of oba of benin did you considered the probability of him been wrong or to you because is an edo man, or because he was the earliest writer then he must be correct .egharevbas schooled in the old western region have you considered the fact that he might have writren on bigotry... I did a research and i found out that round beads were not indigenous to the yorubas but oduduwa had it on and at the same time the edos claims oduduwa is thier son would you call that fact or coincidence The british did well to destroy the edo culture and because yorubas got to write earlier wouldnt remove the fact edo reigned superior over all yoruba state like i said the word oba was popularised in the west by the british yoruba history started at the arrival if the britsh quote me anywhere |

TAO11:
To be very clear with you so that you don't get stuffs twisted:
I am not just finding out that you're a dunce, I knew this long ago. The only reason I'm engaging you, therefore, is to conduct a funeral ceremony for whatever is left of your very low esteem, which I had killed.
So, even though I am aware that your arguments (if they can be called arguments at all) are very very lame, please be aware that I'm indulging you and crushing them just for the aforementioned reason.
And you can run away all you like, you will always find me waiting whenever you become less timid enough to return.
Now to your lame so-called arguments:
"What you don't own you can't cherish" you acontextually remarked.
Could this be the reason why the Europeans (who introduced Dane-guns to Africans) don't even use Dane-guns 'anymore' today? 
Because they didn't own/invent them in the first place?
I hope you are smart enough to notice how your sick, lame so-called argument falls apart with just these two questions alone, before I even analyse further.
If you still can't notice your folly at this point, please let me know, and I will elaborate.
In a way similar to the Europeans (who invented Dane-guns, introduced them to Africans, and then moved on from their use to more sophisticated weaponry), the Yorubas also (rather than being stuck in the past) also moved on from a specific beaded style which they invented in ancient times and introduced to less privilege cultures such as the Edos'
We see this fact very clearly engraved in metals from the example of the ancient bronze/brass sculpture of an ancient Ife-Yoruba king rocking that particular beaded style.
[see 1st attachment below]
And we know that this king is Ife-Yoruba, not by mere assumption, but from the fact that even his Ile-Ife lineage is documented in the sculpture; that is, his ethnic facial scarification --- a marking which you admitted is "a Yoruba thing".
[see '2nd' attachment below]
On the other hand, we see not even one of this particular beaded style documented in any of the tons of ancient Benin bronze/brass sculptures of their kings. Rather we see a different beaded style on their sculptures
What does that tell any sane person about the inventor of the beaded style found on ancient Ife bronze/brass casts of their kings, but not found on ancient Benin bronze/brass casts of their kings?
Now moving on to bead itself:
In as early as the pre-Oduduwa era, Ife had a bustling industry of bead production which grew into a very major source of wealth production for Ife.
The two types of beads produced in Ife were the blue dichoric glass beads (known as segi) and the red tubular coral beads (known as iyun).
--- James W. Lankton, O. Akin Ige & Thilo Rehren, "Early Primary Glass Production in Southern Nigeria", Journal of African Archaeology, Vol. 4 (1), 2006.
In Benin kingdom, on the other hand, beads (i.e. " coral beads" which is their only known type) were said (by their own traditions) to have been first used during Oba Ewuare's reign in Benin --- that is, in the 1400s CE, centuries after the Oduduwa era.
In other words, what the Yorubas already had in the pre-Oduduwa era, the Binis (confessed that they) didn't have it until many centuries later.
Yet you deludely believe the Binin introduced it to their Yoruba masters. You're a joke, aren't you?
Lastly to avoid not educating you even on your laughable allusion to cutlass (i.e. iron):
One of the oldest known archaeological evidence for early iron production in the whole of southern Nigeria is found in Yorubaland.
A very vibrant iron production industry flourished among the Yorubas in as early as in the pre-Oduduwa era.
An ancient iron production archaeological site has been discovered at Ife-Ijumu and dated to 160 CE among other sites such as at Ile-Ife, Moniya (Ibadan), Idofin, and Isundunrin.
The Garlake excavations unearthed ancient iron slag and tuyeres. Also, Paul Ozanne points to iron tone quarries in the regions surrounding Ife from which raw materials were dug from iron-bearing rock-clay for smelting.
--- Bassey W. Andah: "Iron Age Beginnings in West Africa: Reflections and Suggestions, " West African Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 9 (1), 1979, pp. 35-50.
--- P. Garlake: "Exacavations at Obalara's Land, Ife, Nigeria, " West African Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 4 (1), pp. 11-48; Ozzane: "A New Archaeological Survey of Ife."
In the light of this fact, please name me an EARLIER date of an archaeological site for iron smelting or (even blacksmithing) in the whole of Benin kindom.
And if you can't (and obviously you can't) then accept, without delay and shame, the consequently obvious fact that even iron use itself was introduced to Benin kindom from their Yoruba masters.
No wonder your cult brothers are also stuck in the use of cutlass during their cult clashes rather than progressing to guns, lol!
The same way your elders are stuck till date in the use and worship of a particular Yoruba beaded style, even when the original inventors (the Yorubas) have largely moved on from that particular style. You keep using eghrevbas work as quotation several edo authors have disproven him wrong even from the centre of historical knowledge did the same, i wonder whats your gain always siting egharevbas wrong works. is that what they taught you in the university quoting wrong works Like i said earlier the markings on oduduwa face is the sculpturist own perception of beautification ,that wont alter the fact that the beaded dress or the entire regaliais not portraying edo costume You and your fellow brother keep saying the heads of the oba of benin was buried in ife with no prove then i ask why is it that only the oba of benin does that to show seniority what about other yoruba towns Dunes guns i clearly stated that europeans mordernized dune guns to what they have now they didnt completely let go of guns because they found bombs or nuclear weapon |

TAO11:
Nobody is discussing with you on whether or not the Binis used beads and wore it before the Portugese visited the Nigeria region. Of course, the Itsekiris (a Yoruboid language speaking people) knew about beads and used it before them. And that's not even the point, stop distracting because of your evident failure.
The point is simply that archaeological evidence shows clearly that the specific beaded regalia seen on the Ife bronzes (and not seen on any Benin bronze) emanates from Ile-Ife and then introduced to Benin.
You need to explain why you think that the Ife bronze cast in question with that specific beaded costume represents a Benin man.
Despite the fact that the man depicted by the bronze clearly bears the vertical parallel facial ethnic scarification indigenous to Ile-Ife and alien to Benin.
Even you yourself admitted that that specific ethnic facial scaring is an IFE thing, yet you deludedly deceived yourself into thinking that the man with the ethnic facial mark is a Bini man.
Summary:
(1.) No ancient Benin bronze cast shows that particular beaded style
(2.) The ancient Ife bronze cast in question which you think is a Bini man clearly is an Ife man from his ethnic scarification
Go find your banished Benin prince elsewhere. No Benin prince wandered to Ife. Your prince lived and DIED in Ughoton (South of Benin kindom). That is the conclusion reached by all respected and academic sources on Benin history all over the world.
Stop licking sugar and pretending to be happy!
And if you think you have even the TINIEST SHRED OF EVIDENCE to support your imagination that your banished prince Ekaladerhan went to any place apart from some forest in the SOUTH (NOT west) of Benin kingdom (where he founded Ughoton); then BRING FORWARD the evidence. Otherwise, your imagination is AHistorical.
Also, I'm very excited to learn from you about how Ekaladerhan resurrected from the dead at Ughoton and then proceeded to Ile-Ife.
Finally: You wondered about WHY TODAY the EDOs WEAR BEADS as well as the ANCIENT OONI's REGALIA more than their Yoruba masters:
I love this question because it gives me the opportunity to aptly describe the master-subject relationship between the Ifes and the Binis respectively.
Consider, a similar and apt example of the use of Dane-guns and other basic guns TODAY here in Africa.
Africans didn't invent the Dane-guns and other basic guns as an indigenous thing, the Western Imperialists did and they introduced them to us.
How come TODAY we generally use the Dane-guns and other basic guns more than the West (even in some of our traditional religious activities), while they themselves have EVOLVED with time to the use of more sophisticated weapons like Nuclear Weapons among other WMD?
They were simply not stuck in the past, and the Yorubas similarly were not stuck in the past in the area of dressing.
We evolved from perhaps the leaves of the most ancient times (just as everyone else) to the fabrics and the befitting dressing mode of the present time.
Cheers! The fact is simply because. what you dont own you cant cherish it or makes full use of it the benin beaded regalia has been modernized over the years without letting it go completely as a sign of modernization as you quoted ,i still wonder what you then mean by letting go of beaded wears by the yorubas as form of modernization .. Despite the fact we use dune guns we use more of our cutlass to fight than even guns.. The cultist rather use cutlass on is rival than gun even when guns are easier and quicker to kill because the cutlass is an indigenous weapon to ,africans it would be the other way round for a white men because guns are indigenous to them they will surely use a gun to fight rather than a cutlass... This only tells that Yoruba's never owned beaded wears the only beads the had was the one they traded with thier fellows brothers from the north Images of yorubas beads compare to the ones in oduduwas neck

What is wrong with you, you have seen descendants of those been sold as slaves traced their root back you are still arguing.
For your information the binis dont have transparent history presently made public. D.n.a traced edoid group back to benin....they could be from other part of edo state or even branch linage like Delta but saying they were exactly benin taking from benins that is not correct.. History state so.... I still dont believe this peole are originally from benin the news is covering something the origina binis are not even upto a state to survive slave trade |

How did the Europeans treat slaves that is horrible than what the Oba was doing in Benin?
The Oba was using Benin people as human sacrifice to serve his idols.
Dont argue what you dont know, the Oba of Benin sold many binis as slaves. You are even seeing some of the slave traced their root back home and you still arguing.
I tire I don't know why you insist edo sold themselves as slaves what is your gain when the people are telling you they never recorded any such history ...on the otherhand this tourist could be long Benin migrant who parents left the shores of Nigeria long ago to u .s |

The Oba of benin sold the so called benin people to the Portuguese, According to the Portugueses he sold 3.5 million slaves of which 65% was taken to America.
Benin people were sold as slaves, Igbo people were sold as slaves, yoruba people were sold as slaves. Ask the yoruba people how they got to south america.
The Oba of benin put his son Ado in Lagos for slave business. Lagos mean Eko... camp in our language
It means where we camp slaves before been sold, that was a center of slave market.
Again, benin people were sold as slaves by the Oba of benin. Lets take a look at benin in the past this was a kingdom that had pride for itself ...that pride took them to a war with all probability of not winning but yet they still fought so that same pridw made tgem forbadw the Portuguese for selling the benins because they understand how slaves were treated |

Bro they really traded slave with Benin only that oba of Benin didn't agree to the claim just because of good name but this is true European confirm it. It will be only possibe on 3 condition if this slaves were taking from benin 1. ediod subgroups like delta Other part of edo state not benin exactly 2.either after the war with the britsh captive from 1987 invasion #which i doubt 3 ....history has it some bini warriors left to aid as Portuguese warriors at pourtugal and were to return but their fell inlove with Portugal and never returned back to benin #which I also doubt if this was the case |

You lied, the Oba of Benin sold the highest slaves in west Africa, 3.5 million as am told
65% of them went to America, the Benin people were sold as slaves. Bwnin started selling slaves as trade since 15c with the pourtuguese they sold other tribe Benin's infact originated the tribal marks to mark themselves against captured slaves by the Portuguese after tge arrival of the britsh that other tribes jumped into the trade |
