RedboneSmith:you are simply quoting the later articles on this, and not the original article written by the researcher. what do you take me for? you are the one deflecting, and not me. I just explained to you what what europeans did during slavery to justify their actions. they try to attribute any findings to either arab or rome influence in africa. thats why the earliest versions of their contact is more genuine than later versions. because portuguese only came for trading goods before slave even started i think i have made my point bold and clear. you can believe whatever you want but it will never change the history. regarding the bronze you claimed that is found in Ife. i dont know anything about it. and i have not researched about it. but one thing for sure is the relationship between these kingdoms in the past is very complex. and not the way you see it today due to lies upon lies you told. i told you there is Igbo house in the same ile ife. how do you explain it? |
TAO11:The map you shared is fake. I have never seen that map before. even when you look closely, you can tell that it was edited. but why would yoruba be this desperate. its why im getting angry? does it worth it. Go and check the older maps of this region by the Portuguese. you will only see benin. later you start seeing calabar, and other shores , then zamfara, owerre (im even surprised about this). Biafra was in cameroun. i still could not find anything about this kindgom of Biafra. which explains what im telling you about the newer maps just copying the old map and adding their own discoveries to it. the map would have been correct if Benin was mentioned along side Ife. the editor of that map was so desperate to make such terrible mistake its very shameful what a yoruba would do to feel superior. shame |
RedboneSmith:I replied the way i did because of how you replied me. You did not give any reasons why it should not be Eze NRI. You said "abeg dont add igbo to this Benin and Yoruba matter" what kind of statement is that? Igbo stock are the oldest in this region. So why do you always bring up your Ife of yesterday?? its very appalling. It is not Attah of Igala because Eze Nri also crowns Attah of Igala, just like he does with Benin Kings. Your stinking superiority complex will never allow you to read anything about Eze Nri. Ogane ins benin is a title. it means the great one. it is not specific to anyone. any king can be referred to as the great one. Ask beinn people about this. Why did your yoruba fake writers in the later version made sure to write ogane na uhe? when it was not mentioned in the first account. it is very embarassing and thats why im calling you guys out. Beside note that europeans were always trying to attribute any discovery to themselves. they will find a way to shift it to ife and befor you know it, they will shift it to mali, and from there to the arabs. thats how you will lose what you invented in africa. they used lots of yoruba writies to do this. also they told nri people that they are from Israel juts to discredit how old there civilization was. Also reread the direct word from the author. He said Inhabitants of this region (he is talking about multiple sources). Im sure he himself wanted to make sure the direction each person he asked the question was right, therefore he kept asking different people he met in Benin at the time of the report. I did not just conclude that its Eze Nri, rather I used igbo calendar days (moon calendar) to decipher this. Many Igbo researcher don't really care about this statement. If they did, they will even prove this beyond what i said. Even there is Igbo house in Ile ife meaning that Eze Nri may have done similar thing in the past there. Also Eze Nri himself said they perform this religious task for Benin in the past. Ask yourself where the so called founder of Benin died? where do they pay homage? obviously not Nri, but its in these same area and not to the west of Benin. If it was not Ezeh Nri, then why do Benin still practice Nri culture of four market days, as well as Igala. You can deny and rewrite history as you want but the traces will there. Oromiyan conquered both benin and Ife. yoruba its not from this area. They migrated from West. thats why you have huge number of them outside Nigeria borders. They got to Ife through war. thats why the name doesnt sound yoruba but rather igbo/igala. the further you go west, the more the language of yoruba is more prominent, proving that they only corrupted the language of those to the east of them. in fact benin original language is like that of those from igbanke and anioma. politics is very bad. first is they start to add letters to there word and will keep pronouncing it differently. but if you breakdown the words, you will be shocked at what is going on. igbanke name for instance was igbo akiri. ibuzo was igbo bi na uzo.. even we are witnesing this first hand from ikwere just after the war in 1970. they started adding R prefix to all there words. umu changed to rumu. its very annoying because i dont understand why people like to falsify history. and the young ones are falling for it. you dont have to be igbo because not everyone called igbo is actually igbo. igbo is jus ta general name for the group.. it doesnt mean they share same ancestor. benin,ibibio, igala and igbo are same group of people. but yoruba and ijaw are different from them, but dont allow people change your own history for peanut. Benin mornach is of yoruba, but the people are not. although oromiyan arrived with his amry from ife and they settled there. also benin had lots of slave villages. lots of immigrant there |
TAO11:Yoruba stop spreading fake news. You guys are shameless. the map is fake and you know it. have a little bit of shame for yourself. The earliest map of poturguese about this area always show benin because thats who they met, and all other maps copied olders ones with new additions. YOu can never have Oni of ife mention without having beninin the map. and im not benin man. You guys have to be honest. Stop al this lies. Even oyo empire waas establiushed after oromiyan conqurred benin. deceit is in your bloods. lying with no shame. only gods no the lies you guys have told since you were the first to start rewritting these history. From ife to ibibio in southern nigeria was occupied by igala/igbo/igodomidogo/ijaw subgroups. they are same people except for ijaw. the yoruba of today comprieses of Mali immigrants from Timbuktu and other empires from there. They mixed up with these Igodomigodo stock in western Nigeria and corrupted there language. Thats why you share similar words but speak different language, different tone, different taste. |
RedboneSmith:r typical response of Yoruba man. Even Eze Nri does same to Attah Igala. The story is very clear. Remember, not just one person said this to the Portuguese. It says the inhabitant of this region (multiple sources of people living in Benin at the time). And why was Ife not mentioned in the statement? I just proved to you that it was Nri king. History of benin and ife is about Oromiyan conquest of Igodomidogo. Its not Yoruba history. Its between Ife and Benin. And you dont even bother to read about Eze Nris and what they do. They are spiritual leaders. They never conquered a land. It was always peaceful. many of these lies you guys portray will be exposed once more Igbo people start taking history serious. I don't really want to tribalistic because at the end we are all one big family, but Yorubas like to change history. In the later articles, they try to find a way to insert ogane na uhe. Something that was never mentioned. the igodomidogo, igalas and nri igbos are from one family. they are same people |
samuk:After thorough research, it appears that the Portuguese accounts likely referred to Eze NRI rather than Ile Ife. Initially, the narrative specifies that the journey was 20 moons walking days to the East of Benin. This calculation is straightforward; 20 moon days equate to 24 hours multiplied by 20 days. Additionally, considering they wouldn't be walking continuously, an estimated walking day might involve around 10 hours of travel before resting. Thus, the distance covered to the East amounts to 20 days multiplied by 10 hours of walking per day, resulting in approximately 200 km. Confirming this, a check on Google Maps reveals that the walking distance between Benin City and Nri ranges from 197 km to 207 km depending on the chosen route. Interestingly, the distance from Benin to Ile Ife is also similar. However, Ile Ife is not situated to the East of Benin but rather to the North-West, unlike Nri, which lies exactly to the East of Benin city. Moreover, the article in question focused on a spiritual leader rather than a political figure, drawing comparisons to the Pope. Later European observers noted Nri's spiritual influence over numerous kingdoms, emphasizing their mutual independence rather than subordination to one another. This understanding is widespread in the Anambra region regarding Nri's spiritual sway, characterized by a lack of political conquests and a commitment to maintaining autonomy. Based on this research, one could conclude that any community practicing Nri culture might be considered part of the Nri kingdom, as in ancient times, they saw themselves as unified under Nri's spiritual leadership. Lastly, regarding the orientation of maps, it's worth noting that prior to the age of discovery, maps were commonly depicted with South at the top, following the conventions of ancient civilizations like the Egyptians. However, during the European age of discovery, maps were reoriented with North at the top, reflecting the dominance and perspective of European explorers. Through my research, it becomes evident that by this time, the Portuguese were indeed using maps with the North at the top, aligned with the current convention.

maureensylvia:I don't think you have experience anything in life. I'm an IGBO, I also know how wicked Igbo people are... I can tell you that all this people want is to head and organisation, Ministry, Union etc. We love Power alot....but there is nothing like 1 nigeria. We are suffering because of few Igbo ppl that sold us out. Restructuring is good. but if we can wipe away all the politicians and ban the use of the word, politics and study of the course in universities, it would be best. |
