Abohboy:I’m not too educated on eastern yoruba land pre colonial history but I do know that both ekiti and ondo showed strong Benin influences I also know that the deji of akure was a tributary to the oba of Benin at some point but I do not know if that came as a result of respect/reverence or because they were subdued militarily by Benin But there is also some history of wars between ekiti/ondo and Benin. Ogedengbe took an army to Benin kingdom and fought them but was captured or so So, it seems ekiti/ondo were kinda semi-independent of Benin I ask you, if they were conquered why aren’t those regions under Benin empire pre colonial maps ? |

Olu317:Those are semantics. You say they were in Alliance. Did they pay tax or not ? From my recollection, Oyo collected taxes from all yoruba kingdoms including the whole of Dahomey (present Benin republic) except ekiti and ondo because I believe they were buffer zones for the Benin kingdom and Benin supported them against oyo aggression in order to keep that buffer. Remember ogedengbe? The ekiti/ondo warrior? He was supported by Benin kingdom against oyo but also tried to sack Benin kingdom himself at some point 1 Like |

Olu317:He said all except eastern lagos and ijebu land I think he was partially right except that the oyo empire never ruled over ekiti or ondo but in fact did rule over ijebu land until their independence Also oyo empire cannot really say it “ruled” over ile Ife because that is our spiritual capital.. it will be sacrilege to be taxing your spiritual capital.. however don’t forget that present osun state fell under the oyo empire if you check the maps 2 Likes |

Abohboy:Candomble actually has strong Yoruba influences Check this out “ In addition to the influence on slavery, and later Afro-American cuisine and language, the importation of Yoruba culture was most heavily evidenced in such manifestations of Yoruba religion as Santería, Candomblé Ketu, and other traditional spiritualities.” Also this is the first thing that comes up when you search “candomble” on Google >>> Candomblé is a religion based on African beliefs which is particularly popular in Brazil. It is also practised in other countries, and has as many as two million followers. The religion is a mixture of traditional Yoruba, Fon and Bantu beliefs which originated from different regions in Africa.15 Sep 2009.. So you cannot ignore the Yoruba influence on candomble On your assertions on later enslavement of Yoruba peoples compared to other tribes, I have heard it before but I cannot find any evidence for that.. I remember seeing it online some years back tho so you could be right Can you point me to any evidence to that claim ? From what I know all of our west African tribes were enslaved around the same times On your other assertions, Obeah is pretty much non existent now in Jamaica tho Benin-Haiti share vodun in common I agree that this is evidence of the survival of dahomean culture in the new world. I will give you this However no diasporan group is more strongly affiliated with their original homeland like the Yoruba diaspora Even in the USA were igbos were the most enslaved group, you have “Oyotunji”, a Yoruba village in America to this day. Can you show me any such cultural center or village created by Igbo descendants in America ? Cheers 3 Likes |

I wish they would invest that in expanding our Power transmission capacity (TCN) Buhari would have gone down as one of the greatest presidents if he had focused on expanding TCN rather than all the rail projects Even if there was insecurity but our power capacity was expanded considerably to say 20,000MW, the whole country would have seen a cumulative positive effect |

agadez007:An Igbo man did insult the yoruba on this thread The back and forth between both groups is crap. And the truth is that there are igbos and yorubas who appreciate both cultures. I am one of those. Read my initial post, I stated clearly that this is not meant to belittle other tribes. Was just an honest question I asked 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Abohboy:That is an interesting perspective I have heard of those things you mentioned However the only slave descendants to claim and hold on to their tribal affinities are the yoruba slave descendants. Yoruba is still spoken in Brazil, and Cuba The Haitians do not claim a fon identity nor speak the language or come back to Benin republic to connect with their distant relatives. The Jamaicans have never come back to igboland to connect with their Igbo ancestry nor do they learn Igbo language Thanks for your perspective tho 3 Likes 1 Share |
