If we are to argue on contemporary works we will be moving in circles, politcs had influenced the contemporary works......

The oba had distorted his own history to favour yorubas for his political aspirations the yorubas has distorted thier history to accomodate benin
Check my posts on this thread. The history of black peoples are not reliable because largely to self - praise themselves, they lie. However, there are some cursory things like those mentioned above. black generally lag behind in technology what could be unearthed are clay pots and utensils, hoes and few weapons that are not different phenominally from the two cultures.
Before the advent of whites and arabs the two cultures like other black tribes didn't make much civilization to really say one was significantly superior to the other. The Benin bronze artefacts didn't much affect yoruba other than Owo people.

Any achaeological evidence presented must not give room for any doubt and even if doubt is to be given it must be given reasonable convincing explanation.
OP I don't really know which of the divide you belong but what you are asking for is near impossible. However, reasonale deductions could be made from the set up and history of each. The Yorubas claim their leader came from Mecca, how much of arab culture influence do we see in Yoruba? Benin history has not really told us how it started. the only meaningful influence is how they influence Yoruba and some part of Igbo and few others. Is their similarity in dressing, worship, organizition? Who got what from whom and how, and when? In all human history a lesser civilization gets something from better. the core values are almost opposite.

Can you summit some links to read


And explain, am not really getting what you are trying to potray here
I borrowed the history of yorubas by Dr Samuel Johnson and also have the pdf form and other scholarly articles in journals on net. Unfortunately, all I could read about benin is the net as I don't know any expert in benin history other than the net and trying to analyse them.

Yea, i want to believe there is no ekaladeran
But ekaladeran established a village in benin called ughoton anual right and ascension of the oba are been done at ughoton were ekaladeran had lived and died.....

If benins didnt write but they were very organized
They kept all motalized thier dead in an organized manners

They were introduced to writings by the Europeans they felt no need because thier form of documentation was unique and they felt no need for writing


So there was ekaladeran who died at ughoton
Agreed, the scripture talked about at Iledi in Ife is written in what language and what Benin religion?

Again the tilte of the lagos monarch was eleko n eko the British couldnt pronounce his title and since he traced his origin to benin the British decided to call him oba of lagos


Dont get this missed up oba was recently adopted by your people to mean king......


If the world meant king the ooni should have originally be crowned oba of ife and not ooni


Am still looking for the trace of oromiyan in benin
You probably have read wrong history or you can't analyse history with common sense or read my response carefully. The Yoruba version says Oduduwa came to Ife with a piece of material with Quranic verse. Samuel Johnson said it is Biblical verse. Whatever, none of the debated people had any writing skill before the advent British in 18th century. Ekaledan couldn't have taken a written document to Ife. Again, Oromiyan missing in the annals of Benin is something to think about. There mighit not be any Oranmiyan or Izoduwa.

CultureRe: Prove Benin - Ife Connection With Archeological Findings And Get 10k by MightySparrow:
Either is distorting history or not honest. Each of these kingdoms affected themselves at their peaks. I was doing a research this week on this matter how these kingdoms affected each other culturally. I discovered that Benin worship three principal Yoruba gods: Ogun, Ifa, Olokun. and the name Oba for benin name for their monarch is not seemingly Benin word.
yet Lagos in Yorubaland has such name for their king. There seem to be no time yoruba invaded Benin kingdom but not same for yoruba as Lagos may not have similarities within Benin without a sort of conquest. Ikere in Ekiti has Ogoga as the titular name for their king following a raid of a benin man on the town.
Also, when Oranmiyan was going to revenge misson for the mistreatment of his grandfather, he didn't face benin but moved towards the north. The history of yoruba shows that Gogobiri and Kukawa followed Oduduwa. Their is no evidence Benin has any blood relationship with these tribes. The study is in progres

Yes, glory to Jesus. I was a sceptic back then in the university. A brother had invited me to his fellowship and I didn't like being late to meetings or classes. So I arrived the class where the said fellowship would take place about five minutes earlier and met some people there holding a meeting. They were christians and I became confused about the time giving to me thinking I was late. Anyway, I entered while the fellowship was saying final prayer. The fellow saying the prayer asked those who were sick to lay hands on their heads I was not expecting anything to happen. Then, like a cold water ran through my body, ten years migrane disappeared since 1988. Jesus is real. Then the group of the person that invited me began to arrive oneby one for the meeting I came for. Glory to God.
