It seems Ife is copying Benin a lot these days.
When the ooni of Ife recieves visitors, he gives out bronze reassembling Benin bronze, he now wears an outfit worn by Edo nobles, he also flaunted the Ada and Eben swords in his recent ceremonies. What the heck is going on ? Why doesn't he give credits where they are due ? Some Yoruba are already claiming it is Benin which is copying Ife. This is how the Yoruba also copied the title "Oba" from Benin and later started to claim it was Benin which copied it from them. I have nothing against those copying Benin culture so long they give credits where they are due.
Ada and iben are from IFE fool.. Ida oranmiyan. Ida oranmiyan is always given to Oba of benin at Ile-ife "Ida ogun after coronation as a symbol of authority when ever they visit ile- ife is an ancient tradition likewise alafin of Oyo too come to ife to legitimise his authority by receiving the sword of Oranmiyan.. ..if they want they can stop that too ..They still owe ile- ife 3 kings head

Macof should enlighten you on Olokun Ibo Pastor ...

PastorAIO:


Hello Mr Nazi-Yoruba! So did your ancestors learn Irunmale veneration from monkeys. Did you know that one of the biggest cults in Ife is Olokun?

Ask yourself, where did Olokun veneration come from? Where is Olokun situated today?

If the research is too big for your peanut brain let me spoon feed you. Olokun comes from the Ibo people of the delta region. Oyinbo call her River Ethiope just like they call Oya River Niger. The people that are original owners of the cult call her Onoku. It was the Benin people that brought her worship to Ife.

Till tomorrow when they want to call on Olokun in Ife they use Edo language.


Now entertain us and tell us how the etymology of Olokun really comes Hebrew ARabic or something stupid like that.






https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Do9k4t2h0
Ibo man Stop it Onokun for your hairy nasty ass Do you know what is Olokun .. Delta Ibo !! Delta be Ibo?..Delta people are Edo and yoruba ondo people that adopted Ibo language due to high influx of Ibos cross the River Niger to the region over the centuries ...

Lami lami is an insect, ramirami is Rami Rami. In a way, we settle for the interpretation of least resistance. We love to settle for the less that we can deal with.

If lamilami is water Skeeter, it means ramirami is wrong, yet that's what we've been hearing from ages until the age of corrections.

Is it that our fathers are not really capable of thinking scientific for once? No, the truth is, the folks that improvise for lamilami failed to understand ramirami.

False etymology is real.

Because of this, they switched off the actual phrase for the one they can grapple with, lamilami. Meanwhile, it's ramirami originally.

But the point is, how do you know if this present sight is the to or fro of lamilami's itinerants? You can't really say, so why make it a conclusion?

Ogbara: erosion, flood.
O gba ra, channel for dispersal/disappearance.

Ogba: receptor
Ra, disappearance.

Evaporation and percolation are two of the three examples of channels of surface water disappearance. It could be "erosion", simple and straightforward.

But ogbara has semantic meaning.

A historical word is not to be changed, replaced but studied and understood with similar or related examples..
Wow !!! Rami Rami could be equally right ..

In the Benin invasion, the Benin fought hard against the British ..The only advantage the British had was superior weapons..Even at that

Bro at least u for talk the story complete na

The British used a machine gun that wasted every fuckin ijebu on the battlefield

The British army employed Maxim guns, according to the soldier-adventurer Frederick Lugard. In defending himself against charges of excessive death rates in Uganda from his own use of the gun, he stated: "On the West Coast, in the 'Jebu' war, undertaken by Government, I have been told 'several thousands' were mowed down by the Maxim. from lugard, cited by Cedric Pulford: Eating Uganda: From Christianity to Conquest, 1999, p. 147

I think you turn a blind eye when we debate d igbos, too d igbos will also say we have been yorubanise abi

Yoruba are still the closest to us than any non ediod tribe in nigeria but the yoruba friendship is now of parasitic relationship,


Let us tell our history d way it really was, if benin ife existed it will be glaring without controversy instead of forcing us to be yorubas and forcing our kings to be from ife......it will only breed hate from both tribe

We respect d yoruba people we see dem as friends not brothers our brothers are from the ediod tribe

Prove it Mr edo.. Yoruba race a weakenly is never in our DNA we are warring tribe, atleast you see tribal mark on our faces i believe you know the reason for us having tribal mark.. you want to compete with people that known as pride of black africa..British crushed Benin kingdom and hanged Benin chiefs in the presence of their people .. But Ijebu in the other went to war brutal war with British Imperial Army for a year after heavy lost in both side Ijebu submitted The Awujale resisted, but after much persuasion and pressure, the Awujale agreed in January 1892 on the terms of receiving £500 annually as compensation for the loss of custom revenue...

This is wrong ....

The Oyo Empire tried to invade Benin but they didn't succeed.

Ogedengbe could never invade Benin when he had a civil war in his hands to fight....The best he could do was raids on the far part of the Empire to get slaves for which he could buy guns for the civil war
When did Oyo try to invade Benin ..you newer of generation edos are brain dead you've been ibonized ..i will see you as savages as ibos ..your forefathers saw yoruba people as their kinsmen they traded between eachother ,coexisted but arrogancy and false pride has deluded you peoples mind..

Lilliput all this foolish narratives you keep throwing about doesn't sell.
I never potrayed Yoruba as one kingdom ruled by one ruler but rather as one race conquered (kingdom by kingdom, settlements by settlements) and ruled by Benin Kingdom for over 500years. If you will say the name of your tiny kingdom of origin I may find a detailed account of Benin conquest of your kingdom.

You can deny and glorify (your defeat) Dahomey, Igala and Nupe conquests of your ancestors.. History will not deny it lol..

As for clothing, Benin is known to have started production of wool clothings in this region, which they exported in bulk into Yorubalands clothing your ancestors.. Before Benin cloths came your ancestors were using palm leaves for cloth, Benin taught your ancestors textile clothing..
Ijebu came into the trade much later..

we clothed your forefathers, i can show you pictures as prove how savage your people were .. wool clothing in your jungle you are slow brained man .Retard ,maybe raffia clothing you mean ..Aso Oke Savannah region cloth .. Cotton is grown in Savannah region

(1) I have demonstrably debunked your empty claim and blatant lies about Dahomey, Nupe, Igala, and your self-deluded joke of Benin rule. grin cheesy

No wonder all you could do is to keep repeating the same empty self-deluding jokes without any historical substantiation.

Wait, is it the same Benin Kingdom which was slaughtered for fun by Ibadan, by Ilesa, by Owo, by Otun-Ekiti, by Nupe, by Igbo, etc., and whose King was beheaded by Isan?? Or is there another Benin Kingdom?? grin

(2) I have demonstrated with evidence how men and women in your 2by2 Kingdom roamed stark n@ked.

So, I'm not sure why you're still here clutching at straws.

In case, you're partially amnesiac, refer to the link below for a reminder of that demonstration:

https://www.nairaland.com/5894619/benin-influence-yorubas/1#90413189


Moreover, your ancestors produced no cloth. No wonder, your King regulated cloth wearing.

On the contrary, it was Ife, Oyo, Ijebu, Ekiti, Akoko, Igbomina, Iyagba, etc. who produced some of the clothes that were sold to your fore-parents in order to enable them cover their swinging dicks and boobs and also re-sell.

See quote below as well as attached. cheesy

"Among the Ekiti, Akoko and Igbomina, the spinning, dyeing and weaving of cotton was perhaps the most important industry of the women.* The strips of their cloths [i.e. the Ekiti’s, the Akoko’s, and the Ignomina’s, cloths] are much wider than the strips of the characteristic Oyo cloths ... .Theirs [i.e. the Akoko’s, the Ekiti’s, and the Igbomina’s] are of three types - the two-strip type (each strip being about two yards long and about one yard wide) called ikeji , the three-strip and four-strip types called iketa and ikerin respectively, ... .The ikeji was usually made for home consumption, while the iketa and ikerin were essentially meant for sale. In some parts, the ikerin is still referred to as aso-Adó - meaning 'Benin cloth' or 'cloth for Benin'."

Refer to gregyboy, aka Edeyoung, for reference. cheesy
