Ubenedictus:
Benin war tactics was to make vassals out of new territory not to occupy them. usually the local chiefs remains and a Bini prince is made their head, the local Chief owns the lands and pays homage but the Bini Prince make the major decisions.


the hausas on the other hand impose their religion and fully occupy conquered territories.

But no Eleko ever made major decisions. His duty was solely defensive, to protect Aworiland with his Bini military. The Idejo had been the only decision making body before colonization

Ubenedictus:
actually I think you should do a little research, Benin empire also included ondo and much of Ogun, and even ekiti, the boundary is in otun ekiti....

Not Ogun

samuk:
Oduduwa himself was an exiled Benin prince

Oduduwa was not from Bini. He was from Oke-ora a small hilly community along the Ife-ilesa road

3. IF YOU HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH RITUAL ACTIVITY. THE DEMONS IN CHARGE MAY HAVE FALLEN FOR YOU
4. IF YOU CARRY GREAT GLORY THEY MIGHT BE THERE TO PREVENT MANIFESTATION BY FUSTRATIN THE PERSON TRU MARRIAGE.

�� sorry to say But your granny doesn't know what she's saying. All is church talk to drive people away from their ancestral heritage

Lomprico2:
Devil falling in africa? Show me the insult there?

your very own words are the insult
You don't need to be told again
All of you acted like bad people only exist in Africa ...thats stupid

Lomprico2:
Mynd44 rule 2 o!

Come and throw this fella into the gallows!

what do you mean? You come here insulting 1 billion Africans and cannot take a truthful rebuttal?

NtoAkwaIbom:
damnnnnn
I am ashamed to be African....

Then go and kill yourself. Do everyone a favour since you are obviously too dull to realize that this is not an issue of race or skin colour but the inherent capability of evil in the human race

Whites have done worse and still doing worse

Junior66:
Yes I do! Although I don't believe you understand it much. If an emir exists in Kwara state how do you want me to express it? Is Ilorin not part of Kwara state anymore? I know where you are going though, it is only Ilorin town that is ruler by an Emir. It still doesn't negate my point. Thank you.

It negates your point. Ilorin is Ilorin, Kwara state is Kwara state

Ajikobi1:
Kwara consists of many tribes... Yorubas are minority while the Barubas are the majority in land mass.... I will say Hausa sha

Landmass? Wtf is landmass when we are talking about population

You talking of deserts we talking living people

rhektor:
Exactly my point which made me ask that dude the question as he was using this as a way to show dissimilarity between the two cultures. Whereas, he did not know that this just proves that the two cultures are too closely related. Maybe he did not even have knowledge of these cultures or he did not understand the languages

Don't take that guy serious anywhere you see him.. he is full of posting what he doesn't know

cstr1000:
Juju.
Well no be today. Yoruba women can be fetish.
If you want to marry one, marry the very very educated one.

look at this gutter person. Is anybody in your nuclear family as educated as Lola

CaptainG00D:
Everything is not a stunt.
Nigerians una too dumb.
Wetin concern stunt concern this one

those dumb mofos quoting me...
This guyz are eediots.. this is nowhere near stunt.. bcoz i know d real story.
Fear afonja tribe women, this is exactly why i dumped my afonja..
She nearly caused discord among me my family n friends

More like fear Igbo families

If it takes a foreign wife to destroy a family then we should question the bond of such family

We all know igbo families are fragmentated and divided

BigDealz:
This further confirms only those without investment in the Nigerian project would pray for the break up of this beautiful nation. Only if we can all see the sweetness and the beauty of our different cultures. Really looked nice. By God's grace, I shall also put on those someday.

Oga stop saying trash. The sweetness of our cultures is reason to protect our various interests and ethnic heritage in separate countries.

Nobody merged France and Germany together

Even the Catalans are agitating for independence away from the Spanish

fumiswtpusy:
I sincerely hope they won't dirty that place because an average yoruba will sneak in there at night to poo in inside the park or swimming pool just to see it dirty and stinking,so that it will be more appealing to our dirty nature.
More over let the guides be at alert of ritualist,thieves and backstabbers.
I am a yoruba girl and I know what I am saying.let them run from us we are not good people.

So inferiority complex can make somebody create a fake account just to say this...You make me proud to be Yoruba

DanseMacabre:
But I thought it was clear that I didn't watch the interview.


You might have to go easier on me though: FFK's reputation for crying wolf makes one want to take all his 'reactions', no matter how well meant, with a pinch of salt.


Unfortunately, NADECO died with Pa Abraham Adesanya. So please tell me, what have the Yoruba elders resolved?

That goes to show you that ffk is not as bad as you people accuse him to be. I have never seen any one address his messages, all you band of fools do is to attack his person

RedboneSmith:
Ancient Egyptians were not 100% one-thing.

There were surely elements that came from the Horn, and it was this element that brought the Afro-Asiatic language of Ancient Egypt with them.

There was also elements that came from the drying-out Sahara Desert to the west, and this element is thought to have brought the tradition of mummification, a cow cult and some other aspects that went into the religion of the Ancient Egyptians.

There were other elements that came from Western Asia, and is thought to have introduced crops like wheat and barley and also the wheel to Egypt.

All these elements were drawn to the fertile Nile Valley very early in history, and they mixed there to produce the Ancient Egyptian people.

I most agree with this.

Also the predynasty era had independent upper and lower Egypt who were in many ways different

Upper Egypt appears to have had a lot of influence from more southern parts of Africa: mumificàtion and burial traditions, pottery etc

Too many obas is not good for the Reputation of the title

These fools are only looking for material selfish gains

QueenSekxy:
the second to comment have already shouted olosho...they see no problem slut shaming girls. .but see it as a big problem when they are called broke

girls of these days can be shameless. So its ok to cheat on your man because he is broke?

Why not just leave him?

Lukgaf:
silence is the best answer for someone like u

you lack content, of course you will be silent, not to fool yourself even more.
Oro festival is here to stay, it existed before you and it will outlive you, if you don't like it... go back to my previous post and take that advice

Doyin400l:
Pls who knows the date for this year festival.. Heard is this August but don't know the particular date yet.

i think it started on Monday. the ina olojumerindinlogun was light today amidst merriment

dominique:
If I had my way, this bride price of a thing will be scrapped. Why pay for a woman's head? When she is not an object.

Yorubas hardly do bride price whatever. Even though there is a list drawn by bride's family, it's not filled with expensive stuff neither is it compulsory for the man to buy everything. Nobody inspects anything to see if it's complete or not. The bride will be asked by the MC to pick the most important item from all the stuff and she reaches for the Bible or Qur'an (depending on religion). Both families exchange gifts on trad ceremony, in some cases bride's family spend more than groom sef. No money is paid on the woman because they believe that their daughters are not for sale. I'd pick the Yoruba type of trad over Igbo any time any day. At least a woman can choose to flee from an abusive marriage without anyform of bride price returning wahala.

just to note: this only applies when the woman is not a virgin

ON ORO FESTIVAL _( Festival that restrict females movement )_
Oro Festival is an annual festival in most places in Yoruba land. Most places in Oyo state, Osun state, Ogun state and others mark this traditional festival yearly to the extent that a city in Oyo is called ISEYIN-ORO.
Odun Oro as mostly called is the festival that restrict the movement of women and young girls partially or totally throughout the period (at most a month). That period, women and young girls are not allowed to go to their schools and places of work in the name of the festival. The doers often claimed misfortune for those that violates their which is to go out among females. Haba, What a wicked festival!
Even, civilization apary, a person having very little sense of humor would know that the festival should be cancelled. Why? Because adequate measures have been put in place from time to time to fight insurgency- that threaten the life of individuals so that there could be freedom, policemen go out to ensure people are saved. How would you leave such festival that claimed misfortune for females unbanned?
In Nigeria of today, there are three recognised religion; Islam, Christianity and Traditional. Islam as it connotes peace, her believers celebrate thier weekly and annual festivals (Jumat, Eid il Fitri and Eid I'll Kabeer), people rejoice with them without restricting thier movement. Christians on the other hand celebrate Christmas, Easter and new year, people rejoice with them and also their freedom does not altered. How would the minorities in Nigeria, I mean the traditionalists be allowed to restrict our female movements in the name of their evil festival? Practise your believes and let practise ours.
It is even bizarre for such restriction to hold in this country after it was stated clearly in our constitution that every citizens should practise his religion freely without disturbing others, how would our government laid with the constitution and look at this without any say.
Our women are also the problem, they entertain fear and think their going out would truly led to their misfortune. How would a believer who listens to preaches in their respective worship places that no one can bring joy and misfortune except what thier creator has ordained believe this crooked lie. If you are still afraid, then let me remind you of a pious pregnant Muslim sister in Iseyin who came out during their festival period sometime ago, she was to them possessed by their god but fortunately the sister gave birth to triplet that night. Is that fortune or misfortune?
To this end, I am using this medium to call on all Nigerian who are females to disregard their lie and go out during this period and have it in mind that nothing would happen to them. Oro festival is an evil festival that should be abolished. Join me in campaigning this too!

Lukumon Gafari Abiodun (Lukgaf).

you seem like a mad man. Before your grandfather was ever conceived Oro festival existed and it will continue to exist. if you don't like it leave yorubaland
go to saudi arabia and practice arab traditions like the slave you are

Mccollins042:
if you do your maths you will find out that its more than possible cos if they lived an average of 88years it would amount to 3000years

stop deceiving yourselves. There's no maths to be done.

38 ezes in 3000 years is impossible

gentlegenius:
You were making sense until you said those rubbish in bracket. How dare you spoke about her being a widow?
Do you know the life expectancy of family?
For your information, I came from a family where men usually live long and look younger than their real age. That's our nature. I am not an exception. If you see me, you'll think I am 25 years old. If I don't marry a lady that is at least 12 years younger than me, there's a high chance that she'll soon look older than me. Let me surprise you a bit... My father was 17 years older than my mum but right now, my father is alive and very strong but my mum passed away 4 years ago. They were happily married for 33 years before death separated them. The wide age difference between them wasn't noticeable in any way. Sometimes when they go out together, they look like age mates. I learned from them that if I don't marry a lady far younger than me, I will be making a serious mistake.
Here I am dating a girl that is just 13 years younger than me and you guys are taking panadol for my headache even when you know nothing about me and my family. It's a pity.

You misunderstood; High probability not definitely, takin into consideration that statistics show women live longer than men.. I think almost 10 years longer

It is normal to think about life expectancy when the age difference is that large.

But seems you have considered this already

gentlegenius:
I didn't remember telling you I am a genius. Even if I was, modesty forbids me to tell you that I am a genius. It's just a moniker. Haven't you seen monikers like smellyanus? Does it mean the person's anus actually smells?
Anyway, you think I am manipulating a young girl because I am not man enough to date older girls?
For your information, I have dated and dumped about 6 girls in my life. 2 of them were my age mate, 2 were graduates, 1 was a working class and 1 was even two years older than me. For the first time in my life, I am dating a teenager that is far younger than me and I have reason for doing this. My 30 years on this planet hasn't been a waste because I have learned a lot of things especially with girls. When I was dating those 6 girls in the past, all I get was lies, betrayal, pretence, insubordination and desperation for marriage. But in this teenage girl, I get a raw, open minded, respectful girl that is quite easy to correct, influence and change. She is not desperate for marriage and therefore doesn't pretend to be what she is not. She has the potentials and qualities that if well guided, can make her a good specimen of womanhood and to add icing on the cake, SHE IS STILL A VIRGIN!
How could a real and sensible man leave such a girl to date some desperate old mates?

Just don't destroy this girls life...thats the important thing. She is still young and as easy as she is for you to "shape" into the type of woman you want. No doubt your past experience and inability to "shape" a woman close to your age drove you to this but you must realize that your coming into her life like this is risky for her

Don't take advantage of the poverty of her family to manipulate and turn her into a toy. Also realize that the probability of her becoming a young widow in future is high

gentlegenius:
Let me start by asking you this: At what age did you have your first boyfriend and where is he now? Is he still in love with you? Pls be sincere with your answer.
Now let me educate you about child abuse because it's obvious you know nothing about it. Child abuse means cruel treatment of children with violence or sexual activity especially by adults.
Let me also tell you the kind of relationship I'm having with my 17 year old girl before you say what you don't know... I am dating her of course, but I have never engaged in any violence or sexual activity with her so tell me how I am abusing her. I have not corrupted her with love or anything else instead, my presence in her life has prevented other randy guys from corrupting her. I am helping her to grow into a good and virtuous woman. I am preparing her to be a good wife material and will marry her once she comes of age. But how could you think my involvement with her at this age might stop her from pursuing her career, and by the way, is it every woman that want to be a career woman?
If you think the age difference is wrong, do you know how she looks now and how she'll look in the next three years? People have reasons for doing what they do so Pls don't always jump into issues you know nothing about.

as long as you aren't having sexual intercourse with a child and not playing her emotions..

But curses be on your generations if you destroy this child's life....remember that

axeman2:
CHASE A CHICK AND NEVER CHASE A BITCH!

Chase a cheque my brother, leave all these mumu chicks and bitches

Rotadbd:
Hmmmmm....
I can guess your age... a minor probably.... wait till you learn that in school... IF you are lucky enough to be taught

lol.. u are full of shiit tho

tomi87014:
Think he is just carried away with the lady. He didn't tell me he would cheat on me in marriage or he wasn't obliged to be faithful to me. I even told him he would've told me all this before marriage that he deceived me. The terms would've been clearly spelt out. Like i said earlier, i am badly hurt that he is treating me this way because i didn't expect it from him. If its someone i expected such from, maybe i would've reacted differently.

Something must have triggered this new attitude. He probably just leant something about your past.

Every husband gets angry when he remembers or realises the past dark lifestyle of their wife

RedboneSmith:
With a name like Ajikobi, it surprises me how you could say Yorubas are the minority and Baribas the majority in Kwara State.

Abeg leave that confused individual


"Bariba are majority in kwara but I will say Hausa Sha"

NwaAmaikpe:


Preek no get conscience....
I keep telling people this truth, but they'd rather live in self-deceit.

Pastors are the worst humans on earth.
I pity men whose wives are close to pastors.
I also pity men whose wives are pregnant before marriage or within one month of marriage.

It's a known fact that 86% of all firstborns conceived within the first two months of marriage do not belong to the groom!
Please go for a DNA testing if you fall into this category.

That's how my friend wanted to relocate his wife and four kids to join him in Greece, upon DNA testing it was discovered 3 of them weren't his.
His wife eventually confessed they were fathered by their pastor! A supposed spiritual pillar.

That's how a friend of mine said she almost had sex with her pastor after he forced himself on her.

Yet the mumu girl will not stay away from the pastor. She still goes to his house...even in the night for prayers.
I wonder who she is trying to deceive.. pastor is surely choping steady
