well u would have to prove 2 things

1)Show me when benin was under ile ife

2)prove to me that oduduwa was born a yoruba man

Benin was under ile ife when Benin people requested for a king from Ile Ife.


Oduduwa was born a Yoruba man because his name is linguistically Yoruba

Odu means "gods" in Yoruba and Oduduwa means " the gods of good characters" in Yoruba.

Yoruba only have one name for Oduduwa unlike your lost prince in Benin that you gave three names and don't even know the exact name he bears, which is an evidence you guys are trying to corrupt history.

Dartilo:
This thread was created to study and appreciate ancient Benin empire, but as usual our afonja pple r always jealous, so as usual they invade to derail the thread...
There r so many difference btw empire and kingdom...Empire has so many vassal state of wic ondo,Ekiti, Eko,Delta were part of abi una don forget say accordingly to all historian there is a boundary BTW Benin and oyo at otun Ekiti...
No ethnic group in present day Nigeria can lay claim to the fact that they invaded or sack Benin, the closest was the igala and we all know they almost went extinct just fot that alone..Benin went for war in Eko but the people beg for them to b overlord over them,there was a particular ova of Lagos that the king of Benin told to commit suicide and he did and his head was sent to Benin, Benin invade Akure severally to subdue their rascality they r so many...

EDO (BENIN)and Yoruba can Neva b one,Remember oduduwa was not an ife man he came from somewhere that also means that oduduwa overlord over ife and Benin,but the Benin ve always been telling u guy that oduduwa is prince Ekaladeran but for pride same ife people will Neva accept, cos the king of ijebu has said it that he blv the Benin version..

Before 200yrs back there was no united Yoruba people so tel us wic of the group were the Benin's slave to?,so we can start from there.

Stop saying trash lol

It was one of you guys that started derailing the thread by insulting Yoruba

You can claim Akure, Ekiti, Lagos but you don't want Yoruba to claim Benin that a Yoruba man is the king lol, look at the hypocrisy

Oduduwa was not an Ife man but he was a Yoruba man

zeusdgrt:

Lol even ur people wen dey here dey laff u for this ur statement please stop typing with emotions and acknowledge facts

You are the ignorant one

Go and learn more about your history

Etinosa1234:


stop being emotional

Who is being emotional?

I am stating facts

deluckiest:
You are the ignorant one here.

Benin empire is the same as Edo. Both can be use interchangeably. Before edo state, it used to be bendel where delta state was calved out. Almost every tribe in the present day Edo, Delta were all part of Benin empire. The empire expanded to south western states like, Lagos, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti.

According to my aged mother, her grandfather said whoever killed a leopard or tiger is required to take the foreskin to the Oba of Benin and the person is honoured by a special title. You dare not disobey the, the consequences is better imagine. However, the journey from etsako was not an easy one. it could take months to reach Benin. Besides, the dead must be taken to Benin capital for burial. This scenario was not peculiar to the Etsako/Afemai tribe alone, but other tribes as well, to far away Lagos because they were under Benin(edo) rule.

A respected historian from one of the south west States(Can't remember his name now. Will search for it and update this post) wrote an article and lay everything bare. it is an interesting one. He describes in details with factual evidence, how Lagos and other south west states came to be under the Benin empire and how the dead were taken to Benin for burial. Infact, some names that are common in Yoruba land are actually Benin origin. Names like, Idioro, Eko '(eko 'onibaje), idumota etc. These are not just mere fallacy but facts. you can do your own research with open mind and without bitterness.

It is unfortunate that we don't value our historical heritage but rather carry religion on top our head, yet the country remains backward and poverty capital of the world.

Stop talking nonsense

Which Yoruba states were under Benin Empire when Benin itself was considered part of Yoruba Land back in the day.

Your Oba till date still remain a Yoruba man, it was Yoruba that brought Obaship to Benin and even your bronzes you leant it through Yoruba too.

Youngjohnosas:
Awon chest beaters so nor b today una chest beating start.

Simply admit your fore fathers were slave to the Benin Empire.

It was rather the opposite, Benin people were slaves of Yoruba


Your Oba is still a Yoruba man and will remain like that forever.

Even all your Benin civilization were gotten from Yoruba and there are proves all over the internet.

Etinosa12345:

See this one... U posted the one that favored u

That same Wikipedia also says that Akure was under Benin

Next time, read the site complete before coming online to spill rubbish

Akure was under Benin blah blah blah

Benin was also under Yoruba - Ile ife

Even your Oba till date is still a Yoruba man

Etinosa12345:

So u that know, why is wiki now ur source.?

Because u don't know!!!


Akure was under Benin. Ur wiki says that the Deji were nominal rulers...
Do u understand now

Lol... U've run out of steam...

Clearly the Wikipedia u were using has sold u out...


Now u are clutching at straws

What are you even getting at?

If you guys from Benin want to play it this way, you know Yoruba can play better


If you claim Akure was under Benin and then Benin itself was under Yoruba - Ile ife

Your king till date is still a Yoruba man

[s][/s]

Very filthy set of judas desendants .. .
Let me even provoke you more

I hate Yorubas with a passion , alot of us do , infact I'm south south from cross river to Edo you guys are seen as a joke .. a very unfunny, crude joke ..idiot tugha rie eren

I want my words to burn and pain you to your core.

Disgusting thing , you think it's your stinking tribe that tells me who to love or whom to hate

Useless pig... So Edo indigenes are now the slaves of Yoruba and we must wait on you to tell us who to love or hate bah?

Tugha gioan there

Rubbish

Lol an inconsequential like you that his existence have no meaning

Who care if an animal like you that nobody know where the hell you crawled out from hate Yoruba?


What make you think you have an opinion in the first place?

You grunt too much and you are the pig here, no Yoruba give a damn about what nonentities from South south think about them.


Wailing all over the thread like a Yoruba was the reason for your misfortunes and wretched life.

Youngjohnosas:
who sold your kinsmen in Brazil as slaves?

You are really an Idiot, so you think it was only Benin Yoruba people encountered in History?

Fulani and Dahomey people successfully raided Yoruba Land and captured some Yoruba during Oyo Empire Clashes with them, not Benin.

zeusdgrt:

The Benin never seemed it fit to expand territories and ascertained there claims on lands that's why u see these places being dragged by other regions,be truthful if u heard of another empire as old as the Benin or any other detailed civilization history with artifacts of proof here in Nigeria except the uthman Dan fodio and the rest.

The civilization, king, and artifacts Benin got it from Ile Ife kingdom and the prove is all over the internet

Youngjohnosas:
You feel pained knowing that an inconsequential 5 local government empire took your fore fathers as slaves .

It is really good if you guys want to go down this part

It was rather the opposite, the whole Benin were actually Yoruba's slaves


Your Oba remain a Yoruba man till date

livinbygrace:


What most of you don’t understand is that Amuwo is predominately dominated by Igbos(70%)as most Yoruba pensioners are selling their properties to mostly Alaba and Trade Fair traders,while the relocating to remote areas or their villages,so if the recall is allowed the representative is a goner.

Who told you amuwo odofin is dominated by Igbo?

Keep deceiving yourselves, don't worry your time will soon come in Lagos

TheRealestGuy:
You see how people are here saying Yoruba amaka.

If Igbos dare contest elections in Lagos state now, they'll be told to go back to their states and Oba will threaten the whole tribe's existence.

Let's keep deceiving ourselves with one Nigeria.

Point to a non indigene that was elected in the East

Hypocrite

Blessedassuranc:


I no go curse your generation cos I know reasonable ones are also in there. You think your tactics will work? Go check again DOA. People son wise up. I have been on Instagram with some Yorubas and of course they never stooped so low to your shallow reasoning.

Abeg go beg sense.okay?

Go and tell that to Nnamdi Kanu that told his people to burn down Lagos

Blessedassuranc:


Gate of hell fall on you

Your fada

Secrets11:


They do not understand how ibos have become more successful than they are. And that us the reason they envy ibo tribe so much.

The MODs of this platform help in spreading this narratives also about the ibos but only God knows the hearts of men.

The kinda comments here leaves me less wondering why nairaland will never reach the standards of Twitter or Instagram.

Tribalistic individuals so much here and Seun is their cheif-in-command. Keep it up. But when that tribal war happen no be mouth dem go use fight am cos you lot are full of talks talks talks

Igbo more successful than Yoruba?

Keep deceiving yourselves as usual

In the next 1000 years your generation will never be as successful as Yoruba

AsampeteNwaanyi:


while they're busy looking for non existing propaganda just to quench their hatred for igbos
Hausas are boldly killing them in their own soil.

to the real Omoluabis let me frankly tell you this.
your enemies are not igbos, Hausa or any other tribe
your enemies are the people you called brothers yes I'm talking about pro Buhari/Tinubu's urchins among you guys
yes they're your real enemies and dangerous one for that matter.
there's nothing more dangerous than enemy within.
if they can totally deny Lekki massacre (that has more Yoruba casualty) even when the governor confirmed it just to absolve Tinubu and Buhari from the blame
You gonna watch your back against these people.

a word is enough for the wise

Blame Nnamdi Kanu for giving orders to IPOB to burn every thing in Lagos

AsampeteNwaanyi:
Trust me you'll never see those Tinubu's urchins here

they're busy looking for new propaganda to justify their hatred for igbos

Blame Nnamdi Kanu for giving orders to IPOB to attack Lagos

AsampeteNwaanyi:
at this point
the enemy has won
they used Buhari urchins and Tinubu criminals who are naturally bigots in Yoruba to win the division war.

It's all man for himself henceforth

I'm happy the other South has seen what igbos have been saying for ages

You can't have people who are more loyal to hausa/Fulani caliphate than their tribe and expect them to be united with you.

Even real Yorubas are marveled at these twist of the invent

fucck southern unity.

What about Nnamdi Kanu giving orders to IPOB to destroy Lagos?

AsampeteNwaanyi:
it is finished

the government has won

and they used the weakest southern region (SW) to win.

I urge my igbo brothers to hold their ground and defend themselves if any yawa

Lol South West is the weakest region?


What about Nnamdi Kanu that gave orders to IPOB to burn everything in Lagos?


You guys are not even speaking against Nnamdi Kanu which means most of you support him but South West is the weakest region?

Zooposki:
Yoruba people, but why Na. I’m beginning to see what the Igbos have been saying for long. I’m seriously dumbfounded at this turn of event, by trying to blame others.

Blame Nnamdi Kanu for giving orders to IPOB to burn Yoruba Land

agadez007:
This is one of the reasons I dont/wont support the #EndSars in Nigeria because Yoruba Muslims must always find a way to point their smelling fingers at Ndigbo even when it's their ugly ass Yoruba brothers who are doing the burning,I pity every igbo man who thinks the Yoruba man is protesting together with him,when the army they would point you out,omo ibo ni,omo ibo ni

Tufia

Even when it is your ugly ass Igbo brothers that suffered most In the hands of Sars but you don't want to support it because of Yoruba.


Your hypocrisy stinks

melzabull:
whats this descendant of oduduwanker saying? I didnt read your filthy load of jargons. foolish yorupig

Let the lamentation continue...idiotic berebe banza

Your stupid father at home is a wan.ker and a Pig.

And when talking about Pigs it is only exclusive to your Osu generation, you are an Osu Pig from potoland

It is very obvious you were a product of wedlock. Your parents must be sad to have given birth to an unfortunate homo sapiens like you that wail every day at the mention of Tinubu's name. When Tinubu is not the one responsible for the poverty in your wretched lineage.

melzabull:
KingOfIdiotts...The indefatigable nitwit at his element, he comes alive when he sees Igbo-his eternal nightmares
I sense so muuch pain, bitterness and anguish while you wrote this load of rubbish. Tifnubu is everybodys footmat...cry all you want but thats the reality. Repulsive berebe banza yorupig, your tears gives me joy

Stupid bull.... You are obviously the one crying and in agony with your wailing.

Your generation only find their voice whenever they hear Tinubu's name but become mute and docile when all the criminals they call leaders in their region are being mention.

It is very obvious Tinubu is your nightmare, you see him as the one obstructing the progress of your Nyamirin generation and ambition



Your wretched Osu family in the village are repulsive and Pigs.

melzabull:
Can you leave Igbos out of your smelly mouth and face your fulani masters that issued the press release? hateful, evil, tribalistic berebe oaf

the criminal chicago drug baron deserves it

thats what the bourdillion frog eyed kleptomaniac deserves

If your boy friend have a smelly mouth that doesn't mean you should project that on a stranger you have not even encounter before.

Your Osu Alusi generation are the hateful, evil and tribalistic pig you described.

Tinubu is the only criminal while all the Nyamirin leaders looting your generation and region to emptiness are saints.

No wonder South East is inhabitable and Barren, it is what your hypocritical generation deserve.

Tinubu don suffer for Nigeria hands



Every single thing that is wrong with Nigeria is blame on Tinubu while he is not even in any government position, he is the only corrupt politician in Nigeria

Igbo cry Tinubu every day, Aboki don join too

CheGuevara101:


Who do you term industrious? Go to the bus stop and motor park all over Nigeria and you'll find out the truth for youraelf; 85 percent of your youths are idling away in parks and garages chasing buses and motorbikes upandan all in a bid to get 100 naira. If this is what you call industrious then this was what Our Lord said on The cross "Its finished" .

So some Yoruba Agbero in Motor parks means all Yoruba now do Agbero?

If you are current with the news two Yoruba guys just cashed out big from their investment and hardwork in ICT in Nigeria while your generation are getting killed daily in Asia for peddling drugs.


Two Yoruba founded and developed Paystack and sold it for 76 billion that it is almost equal to what the whole South East generate as IGR but blind Osu like you can only see Yoruba in the motor parks.

CheGuevara101:


Look at this Agbekoya hunter! This was how the fulani conquered Kogi and Kwara states and installed their emirs while you guys sit and castigate Igbos.

Typical Osu idiot who told you Fulani conquered Kogi? And who told you Emir is in Kogi?

Only Igala people enslaved and Colonized your generation and sold you as slaves, even Asari dokubo bragged Ijaw sold you as slaves and your elders could only begged for mercy.

CheGuevara101:


Just take a look at someone that killed 3 million people, ordinary 100 Hausas were able to beat your entire Yoruba people at Ikorodu just last week and you're here running your tongue.

You mean the same Hausa people that still complain about how OPC wasted in South West?

CheGuevara101:


Mugu! The last time I heard, Nigerian port Authority opined that 70% of container goods coming through the Lagos sea port are designated to the east. So Igbos are busy, self employed and industrious not waiting for anyone to get handouts.

Your father the village rat hunter is a mugu

Show me the statement from Nigerian port authority to back up your claim.

Do you think you are discussing with your fellow unintelligent Osu from potoland that usually pull stats from their asses backup by IPOB bureau of statistics?

How the hell is 70% of containers designated to the East but South East economy can only be compare to Sambisa forest?

In the next 1000 years your generation can never be industrious as Yoruba.

CheGuevara101:


Odę! Which heritage are you protecting? Your region is a conquered territory and the Hausas are dealing with your people front and back on a daily basis while you're out there shouting Igbo Igbo upandan.

The only conquered territory in Nigeria is South East, South East was conquered after we wasted 3 million of your generation and Ojukwu ran away to Ivory Coast in women's attire.
