The clue is in the word. His story, and not my story, or your story, which is what your opening post is.

For example, there is a story about some white person discovering a River Niger, but if do your own research you will find that some people were living by this River long before the white person claimed he suddenly discovered it.

Once you understand that fact you will stop believing stories and learn to write your own story with some credibility.
. Writing your own story from the influence of weed and living everyone more confused


You don't write history you explain it and once you start explaining it, if its accurate it immediately start flowing

Their own Bini word for “child” is “oʋi”.

—————
NB: Their consonant “ʋ” is a voiced bilabial fricative.

It is usually transcribed as “vb”, such that “oʋi” (i.e. “child”) is written as “ovbi”.

Cheers!

Cc: babtoundey
We have so many word for child this is one example


Ovbi, owokan, omo

Thank you bro, sometimes when I think about this Bini people ehh I with just smile maybe he should tell us why they referred"OMO "as a child is omo a Bini language ? Am very sure they have another word in Bini language for child
We have two words for some things in benin

Unlike the yorubas that have one word for a thing with different spellings


Coconut = evin new( benin)
Coconut = kokodia (old benin)

Ass= onisan
Ass ikebe

Child= omo
Owokan (small child, youngest child)

So basically child is omo which was loaned to the yorubas through benin military expansion

The English is the confusion here

Lets assume all, marks are called tribal marks regardless of the procedures

Types of tribal marks
*Scarification(cat marks, afonjaristic marks)
*Tatoo marks(iwu)


Benin had tatoo marks, untill recently they adopted scarification done by other tribe

My point here is if the oba was from ife he probably would be having ife scarification on hos face as a sign he is from the ife clan of yoruba

Iwu marking is what is part of tribal marks. Tribal marks means, marks imprinted on each person,within same group of people who share share same culture ,share historical affinity, same belief and related by bloodline. So, dont confuse yoirself over English word, 'Tribal Mark'.

Edo people anciently had tribal marks.
Body tatooed markings which waz still present when i was groeing up women used it for beautification


Tatoo markings which benins called iwu was worn only on festive period during age grade, then after the empire fell in the new country Nigeria then it was worn by benin women for beautification

The iwu markings are cleanable


Tribal marks are cut done on flesh, this are tribal babaric markings on the pics below

Probably the English is confusing you guys

Moreover, virtually all classical Benin bronzes show tribal marks (on the forehead or/and above the eye brows).

Those are iwu markings(tatoo marks) and not tribal marks which involve flseh cut


Do you see it in oba ovaramens face because it is only worn on festive period and clean able

The bronze sculpture with the tribsl marks on the fsce gives it out that the person depicted on that artwork was from another tribe


I wont be commenting on this any further

This were benin designed bronze but were not
Showing or depicting benin people


Benin depicted ibos in their artworks
Depicted igalas in their artworks

Those particular bronze were depicting the ogene messenger who would come to give the oba of benin cross and staff


I hate your deceitful attitude TAO11 i dislike so much, you know the obvious explanation on this very bronze but yet you want to fool those who dont know and stress me out explaining the already known obvious


Davidnazee, this bronze are not men from benin


There are pictures and painting of benin people after the destruction of benin you wont find any tribal markings on the face of any benin person i dont want to go the ectra mile bringing those pictures out


Example are picture of oba ovaramen and his captured chiefs, look at their face and tell me if you will see any tribal markings on them
Look throughout benin document by European describing benin kings and chiefs if you will see any talks on tribal marks on edo people face, europeans sat in the palace in the olds to take document about bini

So do you have a picture of what the body markings look? Who did they copy the facial markings from?
After we began wearing shirt and our iwu was covered by our clothes there was need to show tribal identification


We copied it from other tribes in Nigeria, they were many tribe who had this tribal markings
Igbo, yoruba, Northerners etc so we just copied from them

Still not everyone had it

So you're now the new Jesus Christ in town, the Galeo Galile reincarnate. Fantastic!
start from questioning your own Oba before you move to Ooni and Alaafin. Charity, they say, begins at home. Here in yorubaland, we don't frolic with dumbass. We have loads of intelligent and authentic historians

I await the day you will propagate your madnesses before your Oba. Trust me, the will transfer you to the asylum in Oba's custody.
I wont let you discuss the false myth that sweetens you when you discuss it in peace, i have hijacked both yoruba and edo threads on hold and they are at my mercy i know both my edo and yorubas brothers cant wait till i quit nairaland.... I will soon....do that and abadon culture thread forever

Who are the "we"? You and your co-wanna-be historians minus the sensible and highly revered historians of Edo/Benin extractions. I don't need to tell you again that you think highly of yourself.
Nobody is contending anything with you, it is you against the oba, your delusions against the reasons and logic of the Oba and his historians together with their forebears. If there is any issue to be straightened or ironed out, it is never with the Yoruba. Yorubas know who they are and what rightly belongs to them. Your dispositions; affirmation or disagreement is essentially insignificant.

Iron things out with your monarchs.
Just on this forum alone, all of you (of Edo extractions) contributing to the issue on ground share conflicting views of your history. So, the conflict is within you.

You have known the truth ad for the truth to set you free, you need to say it. Say the truth; match to the Oba palace, as a great historian that you are, an historian that has been able to spot the lies and jargons his forbears fed him with, match to the Oba palace, show him how his stool is established on fabricated histories, tell him his fathers are liars, tell him he needs to start projecting your stupid line of thoughts, tell him his fathers are not who he thinks they are, make him know his fathers sold themselves cheap to the Yorubas and allowed their great history to be tampered with, all because they wanted to curry favour from the Old Western Nigerian Government and lick a pot of soup in Awolowo's yard. Until you do these, you remain a first-class clown.
Stop venting no one has been able to prove me, wrong despite my many attacks i get from both my benin colleagues and the coward yoruba peeps

Attacks are normal it is not new Jesus was attacked too likewise Galileo Galileo for saying the truth...

What do u mean Benin never had tribal marks and it was recent development borrowed from other tribes?
Markings on bodies are mostly medicinal and tattoos.

Tribal/facial marks are mostly no longer done.. so if it is recent development as u say then it didn't last long because most edos born after 80s dont have facial markings.
Young man check all our bronze artwork if you see tribal marks let me know


The marks you will see are iwu and iwu are not tribal marks but tattoo markings

Tribal marks in benin was adopted after the empire fell

Benin men in the olden days didnt wear shirt and this iwu markings were mostly done on the chest downward so a benin man from afar could be recognized

The medicinal one you're talking about is different from iwu and tribal markings


If you keep observing this little things it would give you a clue on unlocking others

What about the Iwu marking ? Iyeoba Idia had Iwu marking on her forehead undecided. It is a fact Binis had facial marks. You can read more or atleast ask elders of over 70 years old in Bini or well researched historical journals or authored work
They had body markings and not tribal mark which involve tear of flesh

The body markings are done with die and it serves for beautification
