tpiander:
You are the one saying your area is subjugated by the binis, my post is not referring to any such thing.

I simply made reference to your erroneous impression the coastline had nobody there.

You are always saying nonsense like this one here again. simply answer my question

tpiander:
People relocated inwards sometimes due to security concerns vis a vis incessant slave raiding by the portuguese and their native local agents.

So its incorrect to say somewhere was without settlers.

Pls mention the group of people with any form of organized national identity at the coastline (bight of Bini) who were subjugated by the Binis

FrancisTony:
No one is a hypocrite for not supporting gayism.
Hypocrisy is someone have two different opinion.
Just like your friend MrSanity who hate gay but has a topic about him having threeesome with lesbians.

That's Hypocrisy!!!

wow! U really lack comprehension

Homosexuality is not a new thing in Africa but as far as I know we have always kicked against it.

Polygamy is however allowed, there are rules to polygamy that when instituted by a real Man capable of keeping a family, there would be peace and understanding

EzeUche:
Lagos is Yorubaland. Enough of this nonsense from my fellow Igbos. If Nigeria was to divide, Lagos would go to the Yorubas so why bother in claiming a land that is not our own?

We have Enugu, Aba, Onitsha, Umuahia, Owerri and other cities in the East that can all be great because of Igbo ingenuity.

Very good. .. tell them let them hear

scholes0:
Igbos have always outnumbered Yorubas by a long shot.
really?

the guy is just very stupid. . Thats wat Bigotry does. ..shrinks ur intelligence
That's why they are so dumb

pazienza:
They did house to house count, or some random Yoruba people there sat down and concocted rubbish figures to massage the ego's of their kinsmen?

Never in the history of Nigeria has Yorubas been more populous than Ndiigbo, not in the past, and certainly not in the present.

Thanks.

When I first saw you debunk the op I thought you did well cus Hausas are still more than yoruba
But this here. ..claiming yoruba are not more than iigbo is pure ignorance

Fake news. What stupid SW leaders? Where are the names?
What's in not having a yoruba in top positions? What did yoruba get during GEJ's time? Not one federal project
At least there's Osinbajo and a Yoruba/Fulani Saraki

What's most important is what they have to offer not their positions

Ubenedictus:
the bini empire did reach the present benin republic, and through migration went as far as togo and ghana.

Well, The areas were coastline areas without settlers. The coastline colonies were just used for ease of sea transportation and trade from Kumasi to Bini city
Oyo was the one that held the mainlands inhabited by the Fon of Dahomey up till the Ewe along the Volta river of Ghana

OreMI22:
[size=15pt]When it comes to BIAFRA, the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis are the WORST hypocrites.

They bitterly hate the Igbos and indeed the southern minorities and would want them to leave Lagos etc and go stay in their own country!

But in contradiction to their true feelings, they don't want Biafra because they want to perpetuate their right to collect the lion share of the oil resources sourced from the same peoples land, using the bogus criteria they foisted on the country called Nigeria.

Without oil in Igboland and Southern minorities part of Nigeria, Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani would have long seceded from Nigeria. FACT! [/size]

You jobless lot keep saying oil from igboland. There's oil in Yorubaland as well and most of the nation's oil is from the Niger Delta

Illiterate fools like you always evade this fact

MrBasketball:
I don't worry of charging my gadgets too... I use them anyhow coz light is there for charging.

Food for fridge no dey worry me again, I can buy loads of stuff and keep now.

Power has really improved in Lagos
I don't buy fuel again and I don't worry about charging my Phone and other gadgets every minute

chiefololade:

20 hrs Iga Idunganran, Lagos Island

16 hrs Luther, Lagos Island

18.6 hours averagely in Lagos Island

How many places you dey live for Lagos island alone?
You must really be a chief

akugbemike:
I really wonder when people say 30 days in Atlanta is a "over hyped" movie.

Truth be told, the kind people to enjoy that movie are those who once stayed in Warri (probably living in other parts of the world now).

The movie brings back so much memories (the slangs, the acts, the busy body and a host of others).

That movie is GOOD.

Same fate falls on the shoulder of "October 1"....another perfectly played script.

Congrats to Ayo.

October 1 remains one of naija's best

Great movie I loved his warri act

IlekeHD:
His father is Fulani

fulani from where? Daura?

ilovebiafra:
these are oduduwa, not biafrans, we have nothing in common with yorubas(ndi ofe mmanu),biafra includes ibibio,ijaw,itskeri,idoma,etc and not the oduduwas and the arewas ,

best u don't dream of such
Biafra is better with just igbo speaking people only

kilode100:
So much emotions on this thread.
I can bear my husband leaving me for another man, but I won't tolerant him leaving me for a woman.
He leaves with a man, he will live in guilt and he runs a risk in loosing everything and Everybody in his life.
He leaves me for a woman, I won't garner pity, people will always wonder what went wrong and conclude that his wife must ve driven the Anuofia into the hands of another woman etc etc...

More homo to his ass biko

You're not serious

How ironic, Africans now lick Middle eastern and European butt...all thanks to imported religion

kilode100:
Gayism is better.
Men issues!!
Na Men go spoil world aswear.
Wetin sef!!
Fvck unaselves biko but pls marry one wife.
I am a very jealous and possessive woman and I'd rather he knacks a man than another woman.

You are very foolish then. i guess u want your husband to leave you for another man

missKiffy:
It could have happened before, and for reasons best known to her she decides to discontinue

reasons like the guy who did it before left her afterwards?

missKiffy:
It's ridiculous that you guys think because she is not a virgin she shouldn't say no to sex before marriage.

But why did she have sex before? Mistake?

Lionhearted:
But not that Lagos originated from the British.

Just that you are indirectly trying to portray that the Yoruba originated from Edo using names as the basis for that. And yes, the Edo has ruled Lagos before. That's a different thing.

Wats all this? Is it not the Lagos I know and grew up in?
Edo descendants are present among the Awori (these lineages have become Awori themselves) doesn't mean Edo ruled lagos

Ubenedictus:
some yorubas actually hold that he came down from the sky as a God with 401 dieties.

Actually you are mixing things. .. this Oduduwa is not same as the oduduwa that became king
The king came with 400 people not dieties

The oduduwa that came from heaven came to set the formation of the world, brought existence to this part of the universe. ....this bit is cosmology not history

401 deities are what we worship in Yorubaland but it has nothing to do with the Olufe's coming

tonychristopher:
I am not saying that African religion is bad... No I am a free thinker but what is bad is the act of killing human to make sacrifice that's all

I am an igbo man and we have term for God and its chukwu so if you do the normal thing in any religion is OK

I will not condemn any religion cos its only God that knows true worshippers

That was back when human sacrifice was not immoral or do they still do that in your village?
We can't keep using our modern morality to judge the activities of old...to them it was not that bad

No spiritual cult or religion is free from human sacrifice

Lawani are you muslim?

scholes0:
That is what they believe, what exactly is wrong with that?

btw: I am so curious to know what the Edo version of this story is. ..... nobody seems to know the Edo story.

The guy is Igbo not Edo

bigfrancis21:
When one basks in a particular theory for too long, he begins to believe it is the all and all truth. Have you ever bothered to ask yourself when the Ife civilization even began to exist and equally relate it to the beginning of man? Have you ever thought to deal with numbers?

It takes half-truth to be passed around and around until it begins to sound like the truth to everyone. The Ife folklore is one that leaves so much to be desired. Over the years, it has been packaged and passed down from generation to generation that it has begun to sound as truth to the gullible. Did you even know that Ife came into existence during the 12th (1101 to 1200) century? Did you know that the world had long existed before then? Did you know that the earth was way populated and that millions of human beings were already existing in Europe, Africa, Asia etc.? Did you know that other civilizations had long existed before Ife even did? Did you know that the black moors of North Africa crossed into Europe in the 6th century (year 711) during which civilization was taken to Europe? Did you know that the Egyptian civilization existed in Egypt way back to as early as 3000BC, that is 4200 years before Ife came into existence? Did you know that the Nri civilization is older than Ife and came into existence at about the 9th century, or 300 years before Ife did?

Ife folklore would want to have you believe that they are the cradle of civilization and how humanity started when some man fell from the sky, yet the world has been long in existence before they came into existence. Furthermore, science has proven that no man is able to fall from the sky, thus punching the Ife folklore to an extent. How can a full-grown man supposedly fall from the sky? Where is he falling from? Who pushed him down? Why wasn't the Ife folklore able to give answers to these questions the same time the man falling from the sky folklore was formulated? We have come to the age of reasoning whereby certain questions need to be asked. You don't just swallow certain things hook line and sinker just because you were told.

Rants of an ignorant fellow. Did you not see where the man said the old Ife was at another location and this one is only a successor?
OH and Ife is not 12 century. .it had 90kings before Oduduwa

teeowl:
ijebu and itsekiri is the same? Unhh? Ijebus are NOT the same with Itsekiris... Ijebu is a yoruba sub ethnic group... Itsekiri should be closer to the Ijaws, Isoko & Urobo tribes!

Yet the Itsekiri share origins with the yoruba sub groups

tonychristopher:
Bros ur still naive in mauve

There are juju that talk all depends on the level of juju but all are demon and dirty

ffor saying juju is demonic and dirty I just have to ignore whatever you have to say
It's obvious you are an Abrahmmic puppet

efepro:
What's missing there, 'N'? It's probably a spelling mix up...Is there any osa in yoruba language? If Etiosa is Yoruba, what does it mean?

Eti Osa - Edge of the lagoon

efepro:
I think it's a bini name. cos historically, the yorubas originated from Edo..
Few weeks ago, our training(Edo) manager was sharing with us, a brief history of Edo/yoruba origin. He said Akpogbon I.e the bus-stop before CMS is a Bini name.

You are very mad, what's all this nonsense again?
Jst above ur post there's the meaning of the word
