which link? Go to ilorin and ask the fulani man ruling the place

typical ipob yoot. they lie and cry when your lies are bursted

meforyou1:
you are funniest yoruba i have ever seen. I know where dahomey is. And i know their women attacked and killed your yoruba late grand parents from dahomey to abeokuta. Where they ran and hid under a rock. Olumo rock.
Those lie lie websites you visit will never help know the truth. Read books from eye witnesses and those that participated in the war. Common dahomey women beat you merciless and you are here ranting online as usual

give us a credible link to support your own claim I also need to see a link of how the Benin empire conquered Yoruba land. I dey wait o

meforyou1:
shut the hell up. Sharap. Read the true story of fulani invasion of yorubaland from othman dan fodio. See this guy o. U exhibited all those greatness yet a fulani man is the emir till today. Till forever.

pls give us a link to the story instead of crying and grunting like an ipob yoot (oh you're one )

meforyou1:
why are u wasting your time replying people that rat poison drinker awolowo (may his heartless soul burn in hell forever) gave half-baked free education

Mr complete education. I just pointed out the lies in your write up over there. waiting for your reply

don't come and give me hearsays o. I want facts

meforyou1:
you read about oyo empire where? Oh ok. When fulani decimated yorubas in ilorin and killed afonja and installed emir of ilorin. And were on their way to finish off oyo village and then head to ogbomosho to finish them and then head to ibadan and finish them and they head to lagos. And yoruba people begged white man to intervene, which he did and saved the day. It was during othman dan fodio naa. That's not history, it's current affairs

keep telling the lies. I'll keel exposing you

At the war-front, the Ibadan could not attack the Ilorins during the day because Osogbo was practically in a plain and the Ilorin horses might have advantage of them with disastrous results. They decided to attack at dusk when the Ilorins would no longer be able to use their horses. About 2:pm, the well prepared Ibadan army left the gate of Osogbo for the battlefield. They were to keep a strict watch and arrest anyone suspected to be a spy. About a mile from the Ilorin camp, they halted and arranged the order of the attack. The Osogbo army and the earlier auxiliaries were to handle the center of the battlefield, chiefs Abitiko and Labuju were to command the right wing, Balogun Oderinlo with the rest of the Ibadan war-chiefs were to form the left wing of the army. The Ilorin camp was then attacked at midnight. The watchword was “Elo ni owo odo? ” (How much is the ferry fare?). The reason this watchword was chosen was because the river Osun had to be crossed in entering Osogbo from the south, and anyone who could not tell this was likely to be an enemy.
Stampede engulfed the Ilorin camp as the Ibadan army set it on fire. The Ilorins could not offer the slightest resistance; they were smoked with the gunpowder of the Ibadan guns. This attack was a success for the Ibadan. Some Ilorin war-chiefs were captured in the attack. Prominent ones were:
1. Jimba the head slave of the Emir;
2. One of the sons of Ali the commander in chief;
3. Chief Lateju;
4. Ajikobo the Yoruba Balogun of Ilorin.
The first two were released while the latter two, being Yoruba by birth, were regarded as traitors and were executed. This was a huge victory for the whole of Yoruba land. After the Osogbo victory, Ibokun, an Ijesa town not far from Osogbo was taken by the Ibadans for being an ally of ilorin

after fulanis captured Ilorin they couldn't advance down to ogbomoso because the terrain wasn't good for their cavalry. they face Oshogbo and this is the result up there. they lost!!!

OMANBALA1:
Bini empire didn't exist past their current domain....Dahomey was even stronger than Bini. Bini people has been spreading that lie. Exaggeration everywhere...Africans are losers...lol

we finally agreed on something. the lies were made popular by your brothers. see what one of them wrote up there

OMANBALA1:
Well, I am too big to stay here and spread lies....I am a noble man,ONYE NZE.
Truth is before the whites arrived many Africans had different types of plays....I will not go any further, it is pointless.

I sense pride all over.

yes anyone who refuses to swallow IBO lies must be proud

OMANBALA1:
The culture displayed in that movie screams Igbo...from the attires.
We have to agree that the Nigerian culture people from outside know is Igbo culture due to spreads of Nollywood movies. Igbos have very strong and influential presence in that industry.

lol culture in wedding party screams IBO? you are a clown

meforyou1:
benin empire extended from benin to the dahomey boundary. Where dahomey women warriors nearly decimated yoruba able-bodied men until the ran and hid under a rock in egba. Today called abeokuta (meaning people living literally under a rock). I visited olumo rock in abeakuta and the guide gave us the full story. I even snapped under the rock. Could barely enter me, but they say thats where families were living day and night for fear dahomey women fighters.

you can keep your lies to yourself. Dahomey is present day republic of Benin not Edo state. get yourself educated and stop twisting facts!!! Dahomey attacked egba and lost!!!
https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://oldnaija.com/2016/09/17/the-egba-dahomey-war-1851-1864/&grqid=A0-_fiX9&hl=en-NG

In 1851, the Dahomean army (which was made up of women), under the rule of King Gezo , marched into the heart of Abeokuta , the capital of Egba and unleashed havoc on the unsuspecting Egbas. However, the heavily armed Egba army, even though unprepared, was able to repel the attack and killed many of the Dahomean armies, while the captured ones were made slaves. Later, in about 1853, the Egbas revenged by attacking and destroying Lefulefu and Referefe, two towns at the border of Dahomey, with little resistance from their inhabitants

like I always say you can tell all the lies you want but it won't change history for those that want to known the truth

meforyou1:
Yoruba people are just a uncultured, unmannered and utterly jealous thread.
The thread is about oba of benin visiting osibanjo. And they quickly turned it to the comparison of Prof Obi of Onitsha vs a broke fraudstar called obat oil.

cry me a river. your people asked for it. when the ooni was travelling we didn't complain. you nonyorubas started telling us how your Oba has been cursed to live in the palace and never step out. now he's in abuja to pay homage. you asked for it

OMANBALA1:
You meant those who the whites taught how to act plays, like Ogunde and co ?

lol whites thought ogunde how to act? you are a comedian

OMANBALA1:
Yoruba has some very good actors,directors and producers but I am thinking their culture is not as appealing as the Igbo culture ,hence , they always use Igbo storyline, oftentimes.

lies!!! which movies from the top ten I analysed up there have IBO story lines? is it wedding party? or a trip to jaimaca/suncity? or is it fifty?

now that you are changing the goal post to culture. the highest grossing/most successful Nigerian movie in indigenous language is funke akindele's the return of Jenifer!!!

hornyofife:
You just confirmed our dullness

So to you movie industry is all about number of movies...Chai.God please forgive me if I insult this idiot...

Well I will spare you. movie industry encompasses,not just the movies produced, it includes all the stakeholder...from produces to actors, to distributors to regulators to government, to scouts, makeup artist, movie schools, engineers, cameramen....the list is endless....

Don't misyarn again , I wont spare you this time. ode

hahahaha see who's talking about misyarn.

you argued about quality and I gave you an analysis of the too ten Nigerian movies. you mentioned quantity and I gave you Yoruba language movies. you are the confused fellow.

if I dominate the market in quantity and quality what else am I looking for again?

OMANBALA1:
Let's get one thing straight...While you were in your thearters starting whatever you think Igbos were also making plays....lol. We can argue this all ffucking year. We had ancient plays before white men who taught you arrived....Nkwelita is what we call it.

Now, who is your fada!

OK. tell me the name of an IBO group that started before than of ogunde and stop making wild claims.

OMANBALA1:
Most of these Nollywood directors like Chidi Chikere and co has no sound training in movie making unlike Biyi Akindele and Kunle Afolayan. You can see the difference when a real professional like Mildred Okwor, Biyi Akindele,Izu Ojukwu ,Omoni Oboli ,Kunle Afolayan and co make movies...These people belong to a different class like Amaka Igwe and Tade Ogidan.

I am not here to compare Igbo and Yoruba who is better but I hate lies. Somebody can not work all day to build something only for you to come and start claiming it.

lol who exactly is claiming what? thank God oh finally admitted the Yoruba directors and producers are better and their movies are the highest grossing.

case closed.

hornyofife:
Was he talking about individual movies or the movie industry..

For Christ sake, why are such a dullard.. Can't you comprehend?..

lol both if that is what you want. do you know the number of Yoruba movies that come out daily?

OMANBALA1:
This matter has been trashed out so many times and you always end up losing...lol
The Nigerian movie industry known as Nollywood was started with the introduction of living in bondage produced by Okechukwu Ogunjioffor. You can rant all day online but you have a Yoruba movie industry ,Nollywood has no relationship with with theater nor soap opera. It was an independent idea of a suffering man born out of natural instinct.

Crayola Cc

living in bondage is a 1992 movie!!!

maybe IBO movie industry started then but for Nigeria, Yoruba started it!!! Ogunde will never be forgotten!!!

Yoruba's started thearte act, but igbos commercialised it with lead to the movie industry which is Hollywood. Hence igbos started Bollywood..Yoruba's may have started acting or shooting movies but not the movie industry...that is the difference...

You guys are too dull for my liking

hornyofife:
you are very dull.....we didnt need to be an empire to develop our own civilization, which we did...the fact is, we had our ways if life, living and interaction before we were mixed with skull miners with inferior bloods by lugard..

indeed Lol. if the landmass was big enough it will be labelled an empire. I c an also start a kingdom the size of my father's compound after all I'm the king there

hornyofife:
Don't mind the idiot, is it by making movies alone? What of marketing and distribution, who controls it? Them never see anything...they think it is quota system

which marketing and dsttubution? do you know the number of movies epsalum has distributed? we are not talking if your pirated copies o. first generation of nollywood actors were yorubas. oya bring another lie and let me burst it for you

https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://oldnaija.com/2015/07/06/the-origin-of-nollywood-the-nigerian-film-industry/&grqid=DT8k1aLQ&hl=en-NG

OMANBALA1:
So, because one of biggest movie was done by a Yoruba all of a sudden you dominate the industry ?

Listen, the Igbos created the industry and control all aspect of it till today. From scratch the Igbos developed an industry that is worth over a billion dollars. Without the Igbos no wedding party....deal with that since you want to reason like a senseless person.

Yoruba had fought very hard to claim the invention of Nollywood but it all ends online...lol

hahahaha see lie o.

the first generation of Nigerian movie makers were yorubas!!! tell another lie

https://googleweblight.com/i?u=https://oldnaija.com/2015/07/06/the-origin-of-nollywood-the-nigerian-film-industry/&grqid=DT8k1aLQ&hl=en-NG

hornyofife:
Look throughout the map, I can see Benin and biafra, find Oyo or Ife and tell me where they are....proofing the fact that Yoruba's were under the Benin empire down to Dahomey, of which Lagos was a slave camp...that is why it is called Eko..meaning slave quarters or slave camp.

While Biafra was a loose federation of republican people, who lived freely and traded peacefully among themselves and also intermarried themselves...we didnt need to invade each other to create an empire...we were just blessed and contented

bight of Biafra. Biafra was never an empire. the only time the name was adopted for a place was during the civil war. it's funny how you keep saying Benin and Dahomey conquered Yorubas when they are not laying claim to such. no matter how many times you say it lies will always be lies. still waiting for our Biafra empire claims

hornyofife:
thank you my Boi for visiting me..what will you drink? We have hero beer, tombo and nmaya

till you can tell us about your Biafran empire like you call it you remain a clown

hornyofife:
Na, I won't go that low...its not my business by the way

indeed!!! pathetic liar

hornyofife:
Show me ancient maps and not primary 3 student fine art work

can you read anything around Nigeria on that thing you call a Map? tell us the name of at least one IBO empire we can read about. we are waiting

OMANBALA1:
Be silent !

You don't know anything about precolonial Igbo land. Assuming you know you wouldn't have written the above nonsense.

Before the whites arrived Igbo land we had what we call Eze Obodo/Eze Ani who were the custodians of the culture and traditions but they held little to no political power, just the might to enforce traditions.

Before the white men some of the popular kings in Igbo land were EZE NRI, OBI OF ONITSHA, EZE ARO, EZE IWEKA, IGWE ORIZU etc.

Beyond the traditional stool we have Nze na Ozo and Ndichie who deliberated on matter bothering the town. We didn't not operate monarchy system like Bini and others because of our Republican nature. We believe in the theory of onye fee Eze and Nwata kwochaa meaning we can all be kinds in our own right.

In Anambra we have the Nze na Ozo noble society which any rich and forthright man can join after rites. Our title men have a personal chamber called Obi/Obu/ Iba where the title man receives visitors. A title man doesn't live in nkpuke, the female quarters.

Igbos have very beautiful culture that is also marketable. We have some of the most beautiful traditions in Africa and I am being honest. That's why people love nollywood, its the Igbo culture . Igbo culture has brought fame to Nigeria. Igbo is a very wealthy and powerful tribe and our influence is just starting to gain ground after the brutal war that has held us behind while every tribe excelled.

Your hate is full of hate.

if I take you up on nollywood you will cry here today. the bigger decision makers in nollywood are Yoruba!!! the best movie so far (wedding party) is Yoruba dominated. ibos just like to make noise!!!
