If Ilorin never had an Oba, then what was the title of the Yoruba ruler before the fulani conquest of Ilorin? or was Ilorin always Fulani?
The reason Ilorin never had an Oba title is because by the time the Yorubas adopted the Benin Oba title Ilorin was already in control of the fulanis who had introduced the emir title..

Ilorin never had a king. it was a military Outpost under the leadership of a general, it was part and parcel of the old Oyo empire... read between the lines

it's a free world

Family business

Moneywomen17:
emir is a Islamic title nothing to do with Fulani.

yeah sure.

I used fulani because that's what they call their kings and they were the one to ever use the title in Ilorin and Nigeria as a whole.

Oromiyan that samuel johson didnt even write that he came from ife go sit down nor be only oromiyan

You expect me to believe your myth lol



We have more than 30king who heritage are benin tell me why the word oba wont be adopted to the yorubas lexicon


Unlike oromiyan who some authors believe never existed


In the entire Edo state show me three kings who have Yoruba ancestory


The truth is edo overlorded you guys


Oduduwa is a political canopy to escape oyo rule


So emir title in kwara is also a Yoruba title

Benin - ife never had connections oga go sit-down

you are mixing history up.

Ilorin never had an Oba. it's simply an Oyo military Outpost Headed by the generalissimo Aare Afonja.

Alaafin was the supreme king.

the Fulanis took over the kingdom after Aares mutiny.

Emir is a funani titile.

Ilorin never had obas of its own.

gregyboy:
Nigga if oba is who preside that is oba for Yoruba

Our own is not oba but omo no ba not omo oba



Omo no ona( a shinny one)



Yoruba have so many word for king

Olu=one who preside
Ooni=one who preside
Kaybeysi=one who preside
Deji=one who preside

The world oba is borrowed by the yoruba will overlorded the entire weak Yoruba tribe

thank u. you are bringing out the linguist in me gradually.

Oba is the only word in Yoruba that means he who presides.

Ooni is a title for a king, an Oba, it doesn't mean he who presides, it is a title for one who presides.
same as Kabiyesi which means, the unquestionable one.
Deji is another one, which is short for Owafadeji, the one whom Owa gave a crown etc.

Owa means the seeker or he who came.
I particularly I am Omo Owa by pedigree and am not even a prince.
Owa is the title for the Oba in Ilesha.

The gate man.

the others went out. he was the only one left with oga at home when he was killed.

That is blood tonic or vitamin supplements

Omo n'oba nedo ukwakpolopolo title

Eware11 = name


Calling just oba as the title is incorrect oba is just an abbreviations of the full name

The question should be why did the yorubas adopt the word oba to represent kingship in yoruba land was the power of power so strong among yoruba territories just like we nigerians adopted king as an English title for our king.....



You guys simply adopted the title oba into your lexicon in the early 30s

oh boy you don't get it.

what language do u speak.

Oba in Yoruba translates to "he who presides"


omo oba means the Scion of he who presides.

omonoba nedo.... means the prince in edo....

what does oba mean in your language. answer that.

am a linguist you know.


Obadiah or whatever you are quoting from Edom has nothing to do with this.
No linguistic correlation.

How do you even know the right pronunciation for Obadiah....

rare fish

pictures or 7up may sue u

you can ask yourself why the oba of Benin is referred to as omonoba.
Omo oba in yoruba means a prince

Better do hydrogen dating. Then do Uranium dating.
Carbon dating will not be enough. A linguist educated where? Ife, Ibadan, Lagos or where?

I read up to 5 books to get a balance view of Napoleon Bonaparte. All in original languages. It took the American and Swiss authors to give the most balanced narrative. The British and French authors were either writing about a hero or a villain.
Lol.

A linguist is a linguist. institution doesn't matter here, we read the same books and the methods are the same. FYI from UNILORIN.
Language is the best source of history FYI.
You are talking about Napoleon and original languages, can you tell me the first language spoken on Earth? I may tell you about Nimrod and how languages began and spread .

Take it or leave it, Benin kingdom is later than Ife or Oyo kingdom, the evidences are plethora.

TAO11:
If I sama you e-slap with your moronic lying tongue!

No be only older than Ife. Na older than Egypt you for talk.

Where is the archaeological dating result?

You think every sane person buys into your nonsensical king list of Ogiso and pre-Ogiso jokes??

Bring archaeological results like that of Paul Ozanne or Robin Horton that have variously adduced archaeological evidence dating many settlements in the Ife bowl to at least 500BC.

Not your feel-good imaginations with which you Binis compensate desperately for your inferiority complex.

Nonsense and Oba Ovoranmwen.

cc: illicit

Yes. Am here
No carbon dating can prove what he is saying.
Archaeological remains in Ife are older than that of Benin.
As a linguist I know that the yorubas used the word oba and Ogboni first before the benins too....

He wants to rewrite history ni.
