jaymichael:How come the idols both the benin and yoruba share together that yorubas happens to claim came from them can't even found in the palace of the oba of benin, why also? Why does the oba of benin not dress in an ife attire since inception, no corrupt yoruba names of chiefs that could tell the benin palace had a transformation at a time, no yoruba idols, where is the evidence unless the name oba we share together and we all know it was taken from benin to yoruba lands during our conquest in their lands |

Even one of oba of benin praise name is his own name, omo no'ba nedo Omo = child No= that Ba = shines Oba=its shines Nedo= for edo You can go, amd fumd this word in, tje dictionary word to word, if it says something different screenshot it and send to me to make it easy ask, a benin person orally you are free to record it, i mean ask a benin person every single word that i broke down Stop using yoruba interpretation on a benin word.... Lastly while you're at that you can help me answer some few more questions How come the idols both the benin and yoruba share together that yorubas happens to claim came from them can't even found in the palace of the oba of benin, why also? Why does the oba of benin not dress in an ife attire since inception, no corrupt yoruba names of chiefs that could tell the benin palace had a transformation at a time, no yoruba idols, where is the evidence unless the name oba we share together and we all know it was taken from benin to yoruba lands during our conquest in their lands |

Stephen0mozzy:The oba of benin is in a game or was in a game Of superiority battle with yorubas this thing started during our time in the western region as they insulted the oba of. Benin during western region meetings the pay back was trying to overlord the with the forged history they saw it coming and they refute it Ife and benin historically never meant but the yorubas even tho they know this will never quit because when we edos tell our glorious history they feel hurt by it the way they can get back is to tell the fake history of oromiyan sojourn in benin |

jaymichael:You can find the word piece by piece if the dictionary is we detailed instead of being ecstasy about the word omo... The dictionary was only explaining omo (child) in the sentence omo n'oba nedo... Only the omo... To further help you you can go and search for the different meaning that makes up the word Either orally or literally you already got omo and oba because we both share same word thanks to we benins for introducing it to you lot you can go further to ask for the rest instead of concluding you know every syllable in the sentence that is not even yoruba When you're done then ask yourself Why can't they find idols that both yorubas and edos tend to share in the palace of the benins it can only be found in the street of benin as utility idols, why is the oba of benin not dressing in yoruba oba attire since inception, why is there no corrupt yoruba names of chiefs that came from ife to form the oba dynasty we should see names like Balogun if not the exact name but a corrupt form, or even names of street . Our imprint in yoruba lands can be felt... Without any deep search our edo families can be found in Lagos, ondo and Co even the names of our street, our artworks can be seen in ondo Lastly the other thing that seem similar again between benin and ife is the artwork that both made in the past but still distinct apart, the designs are different, the materials are different the ideology for the usage is different, while the benin artworks were found in benin, that of the ife artworks was found scattered all over osun which further suggest ife wasn't the originator of this artworks |

jaymichael:Did he say the child the meaning of omo n'oba Is the child of the oba? Nope! It was only explaining the omo in the attachment with the rest words and at the end it made it know, omo no oba is a king Stop misinterpreting to justify your own thought he never said omo n'oba means the child of a king it was only using omo n'oba to explain omo as an example If you're to belive your own thought then ask yourself apart from oba what else did oromiyan fairytale bring to the oba palace...you can use as evidence You're fighting for yoruba ownership of oba alone but left other evidence |

.... Stop using yoruba interpretation for benin words, stop it... Omo n'oba.. The n' cannot be omitted which yorubas are currently doing to give a yoruba false meaning why are they skipping the n' in the word.... Its like saying, i am going! in English another person says, i am also going! there is a big difference between the two words tho look alike but the 'also' is a big difference there and it changes everything Omo n'oba which can also be spelled as omo n' ba is the appropriate short form of the king of benin title.. Oba is the corrupt word used by the Portuguese and European and yorubas. Omo n'oba nedo means the child that shines for the edo people... The oba title is a praisal name If it was the otherway around like you interpreted as a son of the oba, that would be 'ovbioba' not 'omo n'oba' in benin Note we benins never addressed the oba of benin as oba instead omo n'oba which was the appropriate short form... Until after the creation of Nigeria the name oba of benin became widely used and accepted by the edos And till date the edo locals still address the king in edo language as omo no' nedo The word oba had come into the yoruba lexicon through benin conquest on thier land its a usually thing to know to the title of thier overlord and they had referred him as oba The oromiyan sojourn myth is a fairytale , |

raskymonojendor:As we may have it Benin wasn't organised or a powerful kingdom in the early times, in the beginning they were several villages who had Thier various leaders called ogiso they were several ogiso( sky kings) in the various settlement of Benin. at this time Benin was not one, the various settlement with their own ogiso existed independently. there were no one ruler, until a man called evian, killed a spiritual beast that had been disturbing the various villages surrounding Benin. which the various Ogiso heads couldn't handle and he found favour in the Benin community and the villagers came together to make him the oba of igodo. he ascended the throne as eweka the first He was blessed with mystical powers and the people likened him as the son of a God, the Ogiso who refused to surrender their sovereignty where forced and the kingdom was formed, this several ogiso heads became chiefs in the new kingdom called ogidomigofo Which later renamed as edo during oba ewaure reign and turned Benin during the Portuguese arrival who had corrupted Ile binu from the itsekiri warnings that had earlier told them not to venture into Benin City during their arrival and inquisition about the edo people Years after eweka had died his son expanded the kingdom further Benin on several occasion Lost some villages under the kingdom that had to be brought back through force, the king of the sea (ogiamen) was a powerful ruler who had ruled the river banks of Benin is territory was independent of Benin even when the Benin kingdom was long establish, oba ewakpe who was a conquerer had waged war on his kingdom that lasted for years but his kingdom was too strong to be defeated lots of lives was lost until an agreement was reached by the ogiamen that Benin would one day take over his territory which was a sure thing, because Benin was flourishing and expanding unlike his territory and that if they have to join Benin that the oba of Benin would respect is terms,and that every oba that ascends the throne would always come and buy his sovereignty from his family at every coronation in terms of paying homage and that if the contract is broken they can choose to live the kingdom, this practice continued for centuries until after Benin empire was brought down by the British and that tradition was stopped by the oba, the only way the ogiame family could use to attack the oba was by false acclimation Of his illegitimacy Just the way the yoruba were brought into one canopy by awolowo during the formation of Nigeria so as evian who became the first oba of Benin united the kingdom The Benin kingdom consist of the 36 Benin families The Benin empire consist of lagos, ondo, ekiti, delta and Co.... The yorubas and other tribes that have issues with the oba of Benin would always use the screenshot to support their claims that the oba of Benin is a yoruba man, not until you ask them, if there is any trace of yoruba titles or names or even idols in the oba palace that can trace that the oba of Benin is a yoruba man, then they will be left dumbfounded |
