it means that pH is among for it to be referred to as a state like u said "it was in nairaland that u knew that pH is in Rivers" because that's the essence of the topic


so b4 coming nairaland if u what ask what is pH ?
u will say it is a state.

Etrusen:
you are absolutely right

what baffles is that the federal government will still be calling the sultan for traditional meeting and affairs rather than their islamic affair

the Yoruba's are gradually keying into the northern system thereby leaving their ancestry and lowering themselves (the kings) to the sultan. it all started from Ilorin then to Oyo now coming all through osun and the others.
When i keep telling the yorubas are traitors to the south and fulltime cowards they call it hatespeech and even banned me for airing the truth, if i was Yoruba i will keep pointing to my fellow kingsmen how they are cowards.....

I bet the population of yoruba Muslim in the west before 1914 wasnt more 5 million but after the creation of nigeria there was rapid increase of muslim convert for quick political gains....


Anyway the southern is a king and a religious leader if we wont call him king then some traditional rulers like ife, the various kings in lagos apart from oba of Lagos and the igwes in the east wouldn't also be regarded as king if we can allow that then sultan is a king and a religious leader

Am definitely more yoruba than you of you don't know.

Why should it be only ife and benin who should be having conversation here when obas from various other yoruba regions seems to be listed in the OP?

Once again oba of bini is not a yoruba king and can't be the first on the list.
The op needs to understand this.
Am the op, and am benin, did you read my bolded

If oba of benin is removed fron the list then the number one should be alafin for me and not ooni

See tears... She's unable to prove that Deji osupa wasn't removed grin

Does that mean you accept that Benin conquered Akure and installed a new Deji

grin
Lol calm down small


Please biko leave her alone you don do collateral damage to her, pardon her she ought to be on a research isolation right now, on the evidence i asked her to bring, if you keep doing this she will find excuse not to go


Can you imagine she told me they found some Maltose cross on ife sculpture i said i need to see some puctures of it,
Ans: she started insulting her fams.....

I also asked her to prove the ife sculptures were made in ife and if the sculptures represented ife cultures or they were alien to ife, or probably the sculpture were simply bought from art vendors by the ife people i only asked her for proves?

Again she insulted her family as the answer and how nairaland has seen her face before

She equated dahomey recognition to ife as being
East of dahomey and how they equated ife as the rising sun from the east east and they prayed to it,
I also asked her for the evidence and she gave the usual insult to her families


I just want to appeal to you to let her be so she can find time to bring all this evidence to me


You have crushed her enough.... With her peaceful infiltration stories.....

Etrusen:
how did u manage to interpret some of the words although some of your interpretation are still wrong e.g the one you said "add some wisdom to mine" and the one you said "I will ask Oba Ewuare".

it's like my test for u must have stressed u out and I guest u have trying this all day but there is always no harm in learning

areafada was able to read and reply me completely using Edo language you can use wisdom to find your answer from his work.

we have no problem bro but you have to understand that even when you are good there are people who have been there before you came no matter the age. Benin history has been my mine focus more than half of my life even at that I still have people I admire.

one love bro.
Doesnt also change the fact that all your life studying on the history is correct

Benin had so many parable, relating to the heavenly beigns, but those were myth

benin used to leave in different segmented settlement before oba eweka united all the settlement as one, maybe those various rulers were nickname ogiso sky kings but the emerge of eweka who probably was still an ogiso himself wared, with other ogiso and defeated them and formed a bigger
Which probably emerged a new dynasty called oba
This is the possible explanations if indeed the ogiso did exist which i doubt because no evidence to than oral accounts,

It could also be those ogiso kings were called oba and not ogiso like what we are being told obagodo were word coined recently, to attack the yorubas , but one thing i know is if indeed ogiso existed and eweka displaced them, definitely eweka was never from any Yoruba land

Start your benin research history from there, the problem with most of you is you so much believe oral accounts and you read not evaluate but believe as longs as it appeals to your like then it must be truth.....

This screenshot was done in 1969 in relation of what you heard from elders in the 70s


Am not impressed the way you tell history, your knowledge on benin history is too dogmatic

gayboy, fist of all I’ve successful rendered you a nuisance on Nairaland to the extent that you’re now being denied by your own Edo people. Interesting. grin

Secondly, what you term as “waiting for evidence” is actually a further evidence of your slowness and mental retardation. grin

You dumb request is similar to requesting that you need a picture of your brain in order to really believe that you have a brain.

And this despite the different independent doctors’ reports confirming to you, after series of tests, that there is some organ (called brain — although useless) sitting right within your cranium. grin

Does one really have to break-down your dumbness to you before you realize it?

You keep running away from one flogging to another flogging.

You’ve left the Ada after the disgrace. grin

Now to this, I never claimed there wasn’t any such account in circulation.

My argument was clearly that these accounts emanate originally from Benin itself; became popularized by early European writers starting from Dapper, 1600s; but are never corroborated by the accounts from these particular kingdoms themselves, viz. Owo, Akure or Ekiti, etc.

Every bit of your comment shows that you’ve been following this thread from the back of your phone. grin

The old man who told me about Izoduwa is dead now. He barely spoke pidgin. He was not formally educated. He told me this story in a village called Evboesi in Ohrionmwon. Evboesi is more closer to Abraka in Delta state than it is to Benin city. So this old man never read any history books and there was no press conference way back in 70s. These were folklores that were passed down from father to children.


Whatever Europeans wrote about us was what they heard from us or observed when they came to us. But it doesn't change the fact that they still can't know the history of our people better than us.
And how did he narrate izoduwa history, repeat it the way he said it, dont add you own explanation

Dont put ife were he said uhe just narrate exactly how he told it,

Our history needs to be put on research

personally I know that praise you are talking about because I have been to the palace more than 4 times especially during coronation I was also at Usama palace where the Oba was crown

Usama palace was the first palace built in oronmiyans period and oronmiyan administration was done there up till Oba Ewedo ascended the throne

when it come to Benin words and meaning or history and even adage, it is in my blood and devotion. I personally have carried Edo study from almost all my life. most of the interpretation u give I just look at it and laugh and sometimes I don't feel like replying because I know u are not Benin
