Moneywomen17: davidnaze how far u are back. What does what babangida say about Yoruba has to do with Yoruba history. I mean ibo that has no known history of conquest before conquer the whole Midwest where Benin are despite the fact u had a strong kingdom in the past. In 24 hours ibo already took control of all ur town and villages. Other Africa tribe never control Yoruba like ibo control Benin during the war during pre colonial or after. 12 hours the whole of Midwest with Benin fell to biafra being led by victor banjo
Benin and isoko are the least significant tribes in the Niger delta today
Benin is trying to regain significance of the past
Which is impossible
Anytime a kingdom is fallen, their women are sold to prostitution and men to slavery
Obalufon: Do you know how those people were that time running around butt Unclad in the forest ..they can't even rule them indirectly because they were savages with no standing ruling system of governance ...that is not a war just a shooting practice ....British will never count that as war the only resistance they had was in the west and north ..real war. not one naked pygmies running around in the bush with arrows

I do know that they held the British to a standstill for a long time
Obalufon: ijebu under Benin i go laugh die ooo oyo self try tire ijebus no gree not to talk of Benin kingdom... ijebu fought British pound for pound bloody war both side lost otunba kuku of ijebu was placed on royalty salary by the british till death after they signed paece treaty and surrender to British rule . bloody imagbon war Benin on the underhand had little skirmish with them their city was burnt down without much resistance after raping and looting of their palace the oba was banished abomination of the highest order and his chiefs were hung openly as a deterrent for other big mouthed edo or benis people that act without thinking ,ologbosere oliha and others and their important chiefs .. ...Benin controlling ondo and ekiti is not by war you have to know that ekiti can't attack benin kingdom is like attacking them ile ife stool of oduduwa they will be checked ..omo noba has the right to ask for treaty na him papa land but by muscle ..c'mon
The Ijebus (Imagbon war) and the western Igbos of delta (Ekumeku war) fought most valiantly against the British.
steveosaz: Good that you have finally revealed your true chameleonic nature today. That's the trademark of you yorubas. Anyway, you had to since no one was buying into it. You and your fellow lying compatriots have finally derailed this thread into puerile banters simply because you couldn't stand the staring truth that your entire portfolio of history is a chequered fraud.
TonyeBarcanista: Atiku is a PDP man, I will support him if by luck he should emerge. BUT I know for sure that the odds are greatly against him and greatly in favors of Ahmed Makarfi...
I am starting to doubt your motives
No disrespect but from this statement, it seems you are all about PDP returning to power
The thing is that as much as I want Buhari out, I do believe that we need a replacement that will attend to Nigeria's need, one with proven antecedent...
Do you know that as Governor, Ahmed Makarfi created DAs (Development Areas) and gave each DAs 1 million naira monthly to attend to some local infrastructure needs? This was what led to opening of roads and building of infrastructure in the entire Kaduna state, beyond the capital city.
Do more research pls
Wow, that is impressive
However, how did he make sure the money was spent judiciously?
What are your thoughts on ADC, could a merger and a renaming be possible

Moneywomen17: my guy shut ur ass up. Art was dug up from edo it belongs to edo. Art was dug up from ife with the same crown the Ooni still wears today and it is “possibly made by previous inhabitants” nonsense what previous inhabitants just coz the realism is better than ur edo own. Watch the video and see how the British themselves are blowing the horn of the realism themselves. I won’t be surprised if u say the people in the video are Yoruba or they have collide with yoruba. Shameless guy
The europeans had more praise for ife sculptures than any other work from african kingdoms. It was classical and realistic. Ife art seem to be more dated than all the others in the south, apart from igbo-ukwu
Olu317: Just imaging the incoherent you wrote again? Do you not know, in standard English,you can't imfer in this manner when refering to tribe's citizen, as, “Edo person"?What's “Edo person"? But Edo descendant/Edo citizen. Oviedo strictly mean a descendant of Edo .And Oviedo doesn't necessarily mean “a child of Edo" in a literary form you try to inform us about it but man/woman of Edo ancestry . Laugh wan kill me here......This same goes for the term, “Omo Yoruba" as Yoruba descendant and also used to refer to a child. Yoruba owns the word “omo"(child) . For example; omo pupa( light skin child),omodè(young child) omo ikòkò(baby), omomí( my child) etc. And this just showed you borrowed the word from Yoruba land. So also Itsé that Edo borrowed ,which is pronounce as asé. In fact, Edos do not know the efficacy of âsé with its deep spiritual undertone.Yes, I know Edos have many confusioning words,which is the reason,the language is going to extinction. Enjoy the bitter truth.
Obalufon: Osun were never under Benin kingdom ekiti is the boundary ..even in Lagos Benin controlled the Yoruba speaking area of isale eko while Oyo controlled Badagry Egun speaking people without war between the two brothers...Edo and Yoruba people see themselves as brothers and sisters in the past but now they are filled with venom towards Yoruba ...The attacked of benin and ore by the igbos during the civil war dragged the Yoruba into the civil war
They are insignificant today that’s why dem Dey vex
steveosaz: 1. Kingdoms, countries and other societies in have had their names changed. Babylon is presently Iraq, Persia is presently Iran. Even in more recent times, Ivory coast changed their name to Burkina Faso. So at some point, what was known as Igodomigodo metamorphosed in Bini. Now take note that Ile Ibinu is just Yoruba theory about the origin of the name. It is also said that the name was nothing like Ile Ibinu but it was called UBINI by the Itsekiri. So Ile Ibinu is just another farce.
2. Events in history provoke changes. The revelation of an Oracle led to the banishment of Ekaladerhan who was supposed to be the heir apparent of the last Ogiso Owodo. However, with him being out of the way, it became impossible for the Ogiso dynasty to be sustained. Thus leaving a gap which was temporarily filled in by the Ogiamiens. With the return of oranmiya, son of oduduwa the lost Ekaladerhan, a new dynasty was birthed. And that's why Bini has two dynasties; the Ogiso dynasty(Ogie iso - ogie meaning king and iso meaning sky) and Eweka dynasty which still exists even today. Even in England, the Tudors' dynasty also came to an end before the present monarchy was born. So also did they have the House of Plantagenet and Lancaster.
3. There is nothing convincing of this claim. This particular issue has been extensively dealt with on this very thread so no need restating those points. You could simply go back and read through.
Oduduwa couldn't have been buried in Benin because he never returned. So its only sensible that he is buried in his naturalized country. Even in this day, there are so many Nigerians who die abroad and are buried there. So there's absolutely no shred of logic in that your inference.
I don't mean to sound rude but I lost confidence in your assertions once you said ivory coast changed its name to Burkina Faso
Maybe it is a slight oversight. I do hope so.
Look, I think this argument has been over flogged. There is no point arguing. We are all entitled to our opinions.
I do feel sorry that me of all people had to be dragged into the name calling and insults, but some indecent people here forced my hand.
@steveosaz, I do hope at some point we in southern Nigeria can trust one another and finally challenge those in the north we see us as inferiors
We are far too fragmented, and it is doing us in.. We do not have to like each other in order to fight for our collective rights
And I want to say I am sorry to an Edo person who I offended, It was never my intention to go that route. And I do hope we can have a mutual respect for each other in the future
prolog2: Mr neutrality indeed. Why pretending to be "neutral" ? Did you actually believe your scam had any chance of ever working ? Why is the yoruba approach to history always about how to make the best scam ? Why can't you just do things honnestly ? What is wrong with researching the actual history of your people rather than rewriting it as we speak ? Don't worry, I will send some help to your stranded wh.ore mother in ibadan where she sucks d.icks.
prolog2: Ooh, I didn't spell those words right ! can you imagine ? What kind of yeye education did I get ? Nigerian mentality/stupidity has no equal any where else in the world.
