Culture / How The Documentation From Oyo Formed The Formation Of The Yoruba Identity by gregyboy(m): 1:25pm On May 22, 2023
According to what the europeans documented from the oyo prople about ife in 1824, the oyo people referred to the ife people as strong idol worshipers unlike them, they saw the ife people as monks who were devoted to their idol worshipping and as such the oyo people revered and believed the ife people could be the centre of the world, for this single reason, it gave importance to ife town in the formation of yoruba history prior to amalgamation. There was no mention of the ooni in the documentation because as at that time they never knew if a person or title like that existed in the first place , awolowo was the one who made ooni of ife a king from a priest he was, according to the ife people the ooni was a mere priest who was a strong idol worshipper, then after amalgamation there was a need to unite all yoruba under one historical and political umbrella the history of oduduwa in ife becoming the father of all yoruba monarchy was born so as not to make any king a lesser king to the other they accepted direct migration
From Ife to their new found kingdoms, and made a priest who was the ooni the traditional head .the history of oduduwa coming from mecca is as a result of yoruba muslim trying to seize ownership to oduduwa and oduduwa coming from benin is a mere tribal war which started in the western region that made the bendel people pull out of the then wester region


The significant of the ife artworks before amalgamation, there was an international attention in 1910 when Leo Frobenius, a German ethnographer, discovered bronze in ife, this gave another reason among the yoruba tribes in accepting ife has a focal point in the formation of the new identity called yorubas, before the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914, which has already saw the discovery of ife art in 1910

Culture / The Basic Misconception About The Ancient Benin People by gregyboy(m): 9:10pm On May 09, 2023
Although there are still some Europeans who wrote the truth despite the widespread misconceptions about Benin, the benins did once take part in a gesture whereby they provided workers for the Portuguese in exchange for their good friendship to work as laborers in the Portuguese colony of Sao Tome and Principe. However, they only did this for the Portuguese and never for any other European country. the relationship between benin and Portuguese lasted for 200yrs from the 1400 to 1600, tho this gesture by the benins to the Portuguese never lasted that long before the benins ended it on the terms of morality the benins believed the souls of the people gifted without the people approval could bring bad omen to their land The Benins and the British had a rift not because the British intended to end slavery as they made us believe, the act already being a taboo in Benin, but rather to gain control of palm oil, and in 1700 Oba Adolo made a decree to officially punish Benin merchant who engaged in the act of slave trading illegal.
Before the arrival of the first Europeans, the Portuguese, the benins controlled a large area of territories. The Portuguese refused to sell benin weapons on the grounds that it was a pagan nation, so benin never gained power as a result of Europeans or her trade with Europe merchants. not until the arrival of the Dutch in the 1600 who were willingly to exchange guns with benins for Benin local goods like pepper, ivory tusk, clothes, local wine, although the benin employed the help of European military assistance against her enemies in few occasions, the benins were wealthy because they were economically independent even when the European decided to sanction benin trades they saw the benin weren't really affected the only way to stop benin was to attack it to get full control of the Niger area now called Nigeria

Culture / Another Reason Why The Benin Ife History Is A Lie by gregyboy(m): 8:56pm On May 09, 2023
In the past before the creation of Nigeria, tribes were very territorial and migration could only happen in mass to gain strength to to be able to fight if they ventured into an unknown territory, if you ventured into a territory as a looner you're likely to be killed or taking captive by people who you ventured into their territory even Europeans wrote on this and requested the Oba of benin soldiers to access the hinterland in their exploration

The question is how did izoduwa venture as a looner from benin forest and passed several territores without him being caught....


And how did the yoruba people send their prince to rule benin with just few messengers who could easily be outnumbered by people from territories they came across with while coming to benin, if they sent an army how come the army presence wasn't felt in the benin palace, no names of yoruba chiefs, no name of bashorun balogun in the palace or benin history

My point still stand benin and ife never had a relationship and the forgery of oduduwa of an history in benin. Happened after 1914, when oba Eweka sort political alliance with the the ooni of ife during the indirect rule system of government, and the the history of oduduwa coming from Ife to benin history was formed to identify oba eweka11, of benin. as an oduduwa son, after some years in the western region benin sort out to leave the western region, because of tribal attack by yoruba leaders accusing edo people and oba of benin as not a true son of oduduwa that the Oba of benin couldn't speak yoruba, but yet he held second position after the ooni of ife, and when the benins finally pulled out of the region the story of izoduwa was born by the benins to write the forged history that was being promoted to insult the benin people and her monarchy

Culture / The Title Is Called Omo N'oba And Not Oba by gregyboy(m): 10:08am On Feb 06, 2023
It is wrong to call the Oba of benin just the word oba, very wrong oba is the short form the European used to describe his original title
Which is omo n' oba, omo n' oba on the other hand is also a short form the benin people use to refer to the omo n'oba of benin the full title
Is Omo n’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo meaning
"The child that shines shines or come through for the edo people and the giant being"
If you hear anyone using the title oba of benin always know it is wrong and inappropriate and was a short form the European used to describe the Oba in their document the short form reconginse by the edos is omo n' oba which can be pronounced as omo no' ba
Further more the yorubas are using the wrong title to describe themselves and their kings this is quiet understanding because the word oba is alien to the yorubas

OGIE
Ogie has many prefix from different edoid clan, ogie is a general word for kingship regardless of the position be it enogie, onogie, Ovie, ogie could be liking to the word Government regardless of the position be it a governor, president or a local government chairman, we can say an ogie is coming and could be refering to an enogie who is a Duke and we can also say an ogie is coming, and we could be refering to the omo n'oba of benin when we say ogie we mean royalty which are dukes, kings prince just like the word government

OBA
Oba like I said is the short form used by Europeans to refer to the omo n'oba of benin
No one in the entire kingdom or empire bears the title, the names in benin who has prefix with the word oba, like obaseki, obasohan were personal confered titles made by the Oba of benin to honor the person, it is forbidden to use the word oba without being confered by the Oba in the entire empire and this is the reason you cannot find the word oba as a prefix name in the entire empire but rather ogie which could be liking to the word government or royalty

I don't think what you said is true. White women are one of the most loyal women. There are exceptions of course but white's are more loyal.

A white woman will stay and support you when you're broke but a black woman will day that a broke man shouldn't be in a relationship.






have you been to a white country if no

Then please stop talking with boldness and stop misleading people with your baseless thought

A white woman live your broke ass and start giving you issues when you have no money

Your right as a man in the house would be reduced to that of a child, that's if she won't attempt to murder or you murder her for mistreating you...

Your gold only knows how to bring pussy to the table while our silver brings every support a man needs to the table.

If you take your gold abroad, she will be freaked by how much power women have and can abuse the power.
Our silver was born and brought up there, they are not freaked by the power because they are used to it.

Your gold has entitlement mentality by believing you should assume the position of her father once you start dating.
Our silver work hard for their money and will still support you with it.


Being with a woman is beyond physical attributes.
I'll pick a flat ass and small breast Oyinbo with good character over clitocurrency traders and pussypreneurs anytime anyday and twice on a Tuesday.


Haha women are the same everywhere in the world even the white women working still expect you to be the bread winner in the home, food is very cheap so if the pay for a date that shouldn't be a big deal you should be able to assist her finically because you're deem to have a better job than her untop that you can't command her for shagging anyhow you go end up in jail ....

Now how old are you, am thinking you're 16,

If you're older than this then you need a knock

A white woman won't even marry you if they smell you're broke or not rich, dey there they dream....

Agbede is an Etsako town, if there was no stint of yoruba in Edo, how did she get the name Agbede, these are issues we don't want to address! Agbede cannot be translated in any of the Edo languages, only yoruba literally to mean blacksmith, this also goes to lay to rest the fact that in the distant past, yoruba was also spoken in Benin where the Agbede group migrated from. Automaticmotors, gregyboy


Even if we are to forcefully belive what you type up there as truth

What of the esan how come they didn't retain the yorubaness since we are talking of migration here the esan migrated too out of benin
