[s]Ọba a Bini word? I hope you know that Bini is a Yoruba name. Binis are those with half Yorùbá from Oranmiyan and half Edo bloods while Edos are the pure Edo bloods.

It has always been Ogiso during the Igomidogo dynasty. Ọba is 100% Yoruba and was introduced to Edo land by Prince[/s] Orammiyan



The origin of Oduduwa like everyone believed to be from ife was actually a big false lie
The europeans had contact with the vast yorubas as early as 1826 and there was no mention of Oduduwa
Though they had contact with some Yorubas like ijebu, itsekiri aworis but they never mentioned or heard Oduduwa narrative from them. The ife people as we know where the most religious people in the ancient yoruba time,
And they were accorded respect by some yorubas, the ife people worshiped ifa, which had is derivative from the name ife, the worship of oduduwa never existed and the artworks found in ife were purchased by the ifa priest from art vendors who used them for religious purposes those artworks was never made in ife


The man who invented Oduduwa was samuel Johnson in 1897 an oyo captured slave who was schooled in lodon, and was later given his freedom back to Africa, He had formed Oduduwa from his imagination to falsely unit the yorubas into one, he had seen the future on European occupation in Africa and there was a need to prepare them a for a country by giving them a sense of unity in the future
The Benin claim to oduduwa was also false this was done when the bins at early times around 1915 sought political support from the yorubas and they were automatically grouped also as Oduduwa children


Oromiyan on the other hand is an idol from oyo believe to be their predecessor

Anyone with a contrary opinion should bring evidence

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/07/05/oba-adesoji-aderemi-the-legendary-governor-king/



He led, that's means he was appointed by a Nigerian government and it wasnt just him alone so nothing special my friend neither did he go as an ooni but rather a mere spectator


He would have been very happy that his connection he pulled in Nigeria got him there to attend

Lemme ask you a question would his not going there going to make any difference...?? I guess no

If he was the one putting the crown on the queens head that would be understandable


And again he wasnt the only one too who was the delegate appointed or Nigeria the only African country so nothing special and again he didn't go as a king but as a respected personae from Nigeria neither was he handpicked by the britsh monarchy to serve as the delegate rather by the Nigerian government


If the oba of benin was appointed for such delegation he probably would have turned it down as an insult


The oba of benin was invited personally mark the world solely by the Queen as equal .... To the Buckingham palace the queen also has walked to visit the oba of benin in his palace
She treaked in the street of ringroad to the benin palace... To see the oba


Go sit down oba of benin is only looked upin because we benin were caged as minorities in a shot hole country just wait till we have our own country



Lemme shock you....


The britsh sends a delegation to the oba of benin coronation but has never sent a delegation to the ooni of ife coronation despite ooni adesuji attended theirs


Go through all my screenshot especially the last one was recorded in 1823 by a French explorer

That is Charles sitting arrangement, it was done on who Charles loved more.... And not on historical relevance


The oba of benin was invited to Buckingham palace in the late 90


And even the first seaters by Charles including the ooni of ife have never been invited by queens of England till date not to talk of the Queen knowing their names or titles

Shame on the yoruba monarchy it only taps is nutrient from the Nigeria government and yoruba people at large


Every other tribes in Southern Nigeria knows the ooni of ife is inconsequential compared to the oba of benin but the yorubas somehow still keeps lying to themselves

There's consequence in Yorubaland for misleading people with history you're not sure of.

I would rather keep quiet than be saying things that I cannot proof.

However, in my primary school days, History told us that Benin was founded by one of Oduduwa children either Eweka or Ewuare. I'm not really sure.

Question like why did oba of benin rule and control the entire yoruba people

Benidiot in pains

Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man from Ife

Kill yourself


Are you going to force him


Because the benin royalty streched a political hand of friendship to the yorubas in the 1914 for political benefit and some baseless history was formed from thin air


Does that now make the oba of benin yoruba


Thr benin people will sue yoruba kings for using the title oba which they adopted for title in 1930

I just told you fact. Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man.

Oranmiyan even named Benin ile ibinu which was corrupted to Benin

Carry your oromiyan made uo myth away from benin history it was made in 1914 by the Benin for political help from yoruba


Oromiyan and oduduwa are fairy-tale that never existed

The oba of benin was feared in the entire Nigeria although he didnt conquer most of the territories is influenced stretched on,
Oba ewuare was the first king who first expanded the kingdom of benin into foreign territories of igbo and yoruba he was at a time condemn for too much waring, the other obas who followed were cautioned from waring like ewuare during this period the oba benin were still war kings.. Overtime the benins began expanding for econmic purposes areas were they didn't find economic importance where left alone
The Lagos occupation by benin was not intentional not until aworis began attacking the benin traders in lagos and only the use of force by the oba of benin could bring the end on aworis violence on benin traders this
was the reason lagos was occupied and the aworis came under the benin rule
It is also a known fact that the Benins really
Wasn't the first tribe the Portuguese encountered the Portuguese actually encountered many tribes like aworis, ijebus at the shores
Before they discovered benins the itsekiris
Who described benin as ile binu angry people had led the Portuguese to their overlords the benins in the hinterland... Since the benins were already controlling large territorie and well organized the Portuguese sort to make friendship with the benins and wrote to the Europeans on the country benin this brought the interest of many europeans to African shores
Areas the benins didnt exercise control over was greatly influenced by the benin rules, after the occupation by the benins in lagos the ijebus traders were displace for almost 70yrs until the benins pulled her total influence from lagos in the 17century...and the ijebus came back trading with the europeans, oyos were also displaced from ekiti and ondo during the yoruba civil when they invaded ekiti and ondo with the help of the oba of benin the oyo army's were defeated in the late 1800 of the ekiti parapo war... The benins has also supplied the major weapons used in the yoruba civil war and the benin were heavily feared, in the yorubas and igbo areas, there is also a saying in ondo that just as the oba of benin commands respect on earth so as eledumare commands respect in heaven
The clothes sewed in benin was taking as far as Ghana, saotome and dahomey to be resold by the europeans, it was also documented that the king of whydah( Dahomey) now known as benin republic were good trading friends with the oba of benin in the past, when they usually come to trade in lagos island and badagary areas were the oba benin power streched over, more reason they took the name benin republic in honor of the friendship with benin

The screenshot was translated from french to English with a goggle translator.. It was originally from a French documentation in benin

Stop making mouth. You are very weak. When you sleep in the same room with someone that is sexually attractive...your hormones will definitely make you loose ur sense.

You are definitely staying with a guy you are not sexually attracted to.

Na you go flash am sef...no matter how u strong reach...women are weak and vulnerable when they:

1. Depressed
2.Abused drugs n alcohol
3.over excited.

These periods their hormones always desire to share those moments with someone especially the opposite sex.

But note: if the guy she is attracted to rejects her, she could be suicidal or be too aggressive to live with.

If she is attracted to me forget and we dey dsame room we go knack,

Forget talk to be on safer side attempt touching her when she resist and starts pointing finger after a while for u not attempting you can then tell her, u tried but she declined
