The Oba of Ife is the top in Hierachi in Yorubaland. according to Legend. One of his sons known as Oranmiyan, was sent to Igodogogo (Now Benin KIngdom) , he conquered the Kingdom and He became the first King of Benin. According to history, he was having issues with the people of Benin because they didn't like his style of rulership. So he made his son Eweka the ruler and left Benin for good.

On leaving Benin he settled at Oyo with his men, he became the first King of Oyo. He was a great warrior and he fought all through the South West all the way to Benin Republic , This is one of the reasons why Oyo Empire is so feared. Then after conquering all the major cities, he felt the need to go back home. He returned to Ile Ife with his army and he unseat the ruling King in a very peaceful manner. He told him he is back to take his fathers throne and he would appreciate if he moves elsewhere. LOL . The King had to move because Oranmiyan was a great warrior

Now, to start with. Oranmiyan didn't conquered Benin(since he didn't wage any war when he got there). The story is this: The Benins came to Oduduwa and asked him to be their king and Oduduwa refused but gave them Oranmiyan (his last son) to go and rule over them.

Why the Benins came all the way to Ile Ife to ask for king( Some of you might ask)? Well, I can't fully say as there are some stories too that emancipated from Benin Kingdom that Oduduwa's origin is from the Benin Kingdom and that he is part of the Ogizo dynasty (if I could recall the name) which translates to the SKY DYNASTY. Legend also says that he(Oranmiyan) was the one who gave them the name Benin because, AS THEY SAY when he got there, he discovered that there ways of life is full of wrath, so he called that place ILE IBINU which translates to the LAND OF WRATH. It is true that he left Benin in anger when he saw that he was unable to change their ways of living.

You mentioned about conquering every Kingdom in southwest, go through your history book again and check if he conquered the Ijebu Kingdom.

The list is not complete without mentioning Consol Dayo Razak for withstanding the Chinese officials who are maltreating the Nigerians doing the covid19 lockdown in China.

There is this lady I just met a couple of weeks ago and just collected her number yesterday night and I just gave her a call now. After the conversation, just about to end the call, she told me that I APPRECIATE YOUR CALL.

My heart sink immediately I heard that but I calmly told her she is welcome and after dropping the call, my thought was has she friend zone me already? Even before I start?

Am I in the friend zone already even before I start?

Good day nairalanders. As I got home yesterday (after work), I saw one of my neighbours complaining bitterly, after which I enquired from her what the problems was for which she showed me the tray on the bench(alas I saw bugs inside the tray with her still removing more bugs inside the fish she was holding). So I thought it would be best to share it with my fellow nairalanders..

Watch the video below

According to a tweet by @enugumetropolitannetwork a young woman was seen refusing to raise the Nigerian flag at the protest yesterday.


At the Enugu Protest today, this young woman who refused to fly the Nigerian flag sat on top of this Lion statue and appeared to be crying.

Who knows who she is?

What's the story? Can someone find her?

His handpicked successors so far.

BRF(Babatunde Raji Fashola): the transition of Lagos state to a mega city started with him, he transformed Lagos state to the point that people taught nobody can surpass him, he introduced the BRT bus, started the beautification of the state.
Rate: 7 out of 10

Akiwunmi Ambode(AA): when we all thought that was the end of Lagos state (after BRF left), Ambode continued from where he stopped and not only surpassing his predecessor (to the extent that people thought, after him, Lagos state won't experience any improvement) but surpassing so many governors
Rate: 8 out of 10

Babajide Sanwo-olu: the incumbent governor as testify by the president even started the war against covid19 before federal government. He has so far perform very well and also surpassed our imagination.
Rate: 7 out of 10

VP(vice president) post
Professor Yemi Osinbajo(PYO): when the president was away from the spot light for close to 4months, the VP exceeded the expectations of everybody. He performed above expectations that even some people wants him to succeed PMB after the expiration of their tenure.
Rate: 8.5 out of 10

Final verdict: I did rather vote for him and have him rule Nigeria and then handpick his successors who will transform Nigeria

Wawelexy:
This Tyranny...

What if it gets bloody?

Who voted this man to power?

And some fools here will tell you he is the man of the people just because he is in PDP, to them he is the symbol of democracy, he is the master planner but a man like PMB who accommodate their excesses as evidence in this protest is a tyrant, wicked soul, devil(just think of any sort of evil names).

My brothers from the other part of the country, how market? Who now display at least a little bit of sympathy between your master planner and the devil.

I rest my case

#nigeriadecide

Meninmen:
Lol. Derailing threads indeed. More important matters at hand? What's more important than majority of people from a section of the country seeing nothing wrong with this callous, insensitive, myopic, nepotic and clueless govt? What are the important matters at hand that is not due to this govt? Bad economy, insecurity, corruption, etc. Yet, majority of your people still see nothing wrong with the govt.

So what you are telling us right now is that the problems of this nation started in 2015? You mean the economy of this country was good pre 2015? You mean the security of this country was tight before 2015? You mean corruption started in Nigeria after 2015?

Now, when Southwest fight, we fight with reasoning not with emotions like you people on the eastern part (although you claim you aren't from that side, which is a lie). How (you might ask me)? Nobody comes here and call PMB Jubril from Sudan, nobody calls this country a zoo(while you still live in that zoo and work there), nobody is saying they want to overthrow the government, nobody comes here and say BSS(Biafra Secret Service) etc...

RIP to the young bloods, at least,
they died for what they believed in.
on the other hand, the Yorubas
always come online to cheer and
encourage the Nigerian police force
for killing unarmed IPOB youths,
thereby creating this monster that is
sucking the bloods of southern
youths today. The Nigerian security
forces is firmly dominated and
controlled by northern Muslims,
therefore, are the middlebelt,
southeast, south south and
southwest their conquered
territories?

Kileleyinso? You just mixed everything together. Kolori koniru...no head no tail.

In the end, what you wrote up there is meaningless

You guys should stop this mentality. APC or PDP, nairaland don't owe you guys anything. No of you is giving money to Nairaland to run this site. Running a site like this is bleeping expensive and they can do whatever they wanna do with their site. If you want to get a clue on what it takes to run and maintain a server, google how much google and Facebook spend to keep their site going. You will not find that about Nairaland because their information isn't on the public domain. if them tell u, he go shock u.

Despite that, Nairaland have been fair all through. A good business knows he needs to be fair. I wanted Aketi to win am not blaming Nairaland for anything. The reason why we heard more of Edo election is that Edo was more tough and #Endsars campaign is shadowing everything. You guys should stop this entitlement mentality

Funny you. How many times have you advertised on nairaland?

Because you don't advertise on nairaland doesn't mean we others don't do that.

As for your info, am a programmer who is well versed in the web and mobile programming.

If in doubt, check out my profile on GitHub https://github.com/walegbenga . You will see what have done.

So, next time, before you talk, know that there are people who are more knowledgeable than you in a specific field.

Thank you and God bless you.

Did Obaseki betray your father?

Did Akeredolu also betray your father?

Trash post

My dream in life is marrying a beautiful girl like you. In fact, marry you

Who have noticed that few updates on Ondo elections are making it to the front page? But during the Edo election when PDP was leading in the election, nairaland front page was almost full with #edodecide, but now that APC is having the upper hand in Ondo, few make it to the front page.

Reason is nairaland is PDP. Fact check, osewa is PDP

I see comments here that just makes me laugh this early Momo.

Most of you here are saying words that are half truths.

For those that are unable to listen to the video. What Aketi said is this: "the road that leads to your house, I tarred it, even when you were in government, you didn't tarred the road to your house". Most people here are saying it as if he said this: "I tarred the road to your house" removing the "you didn't tar the road when in government"


Don't let us speak just because we want to condemn

Lalasticlala

franchasng:
As Belewa allowed bigot Ahmadu Bello to push him to Fulanization ethnic bigotry and agenda, some brave Igbo officers treated his fuckup of course......don't joke with them boiz......Yorubas are the sell out of the South.....it hurts that in 2020, Yoruba youths refused to develop sense after 60 years, go to Lagos today and see them wearing big green white green agbada like comical Zebrudaya celebrating Nigeria's failure and mediocre in midst of nations, just because they built 1820 locomotive railway line between Lagos and Ibadan for them, what a people

Then what was the repercussions of what they did? That stupid acts of theirs, is almost the genesis of Nigeria problems. That acts created division in Nigeria, even till today

franchasng:
Atiku is more of a Lagos boy than a Fulani man.


Atiku is a liberal Muslim, a Lagos boy who only cares about business progress, prosperity for all than for Muslim domination and Fulanization of Nigeria and that's why the core Hausa-Fulani Muslims don't like Atiku, they know he won't run their dirty agenda in Nigeria.


The wrongest Hausa-Fulani politicians to ever vote into national Presidential office are:


Buhari
El Rufai
Kwankwaso
Nuhu Ribadu


These people above are secret Islamic terrorists waiting for opportunities to strike, and they are the favorites of the ignorant Yoruba Muslims

Liberal or no liberal, Fulani na Fulani, Lagos boy or no Lagos boy, northerners na northerners.

franchasng:
The Yoruba principle in Nigeria is: so long as Hausa-Fulanis are giving us some political crumbs that fell off from their table while neglecting Igbos, we Yorubas are very okay with it, if they like they can kill all our kinsmen, as long as Igbos are jointly hated and marginalized, we Omoluabis are perfectly fine with Hausa-Fulanis.


So all Yorubas need from Hausa-Fulanis is some railway to cross from Lagos to Ibadan, and then some political appointments to some corrupt Yoruba politicians, the rest of Yoruba land can go to hell, Lagos is the only Yoruba land worth development

This is the YORUBAS Agenda In Nigeria

What do the Ibos need from the Hausa-Fulani man? Tell me. Balewa/Azikiwe government nko? Na hausa/Ijaw combination? Shari/Ekwueme nko? Fulani/Ikwerre combination? And so on and so forth.. receive sense in Jesus name amen

Nchenches:
They voted Atiku in order to let go the PMB who is destroying Nigeria and its fragile unity.

Develop more sense.

This shows how foolish you are. Do you know what you are saying? So, that Atiku you are talking of is of Ibo extraction? Or Ijaw extraction? Is he not also a Fulani man you are condemning the yorubas for voting?
If I could recall clearly, there are Ibo who contested the last election. You people could have vote for one of them, then I will easily believe you that you are not asslicking like we yorubas (as you falsely claim). But now you've condemned yourself by doing what you accuse others of doing. Just like Jesus said, "you hypocrite, the remove the beam in your eyes, after that, you can remove the beam in your brother's eyes"

I believe there are doctors in the house ooo

Help, doctors in the house. I have sinusitis, how can I cure it? Currently, am using otrivin and zyncet.
