Do you consider his opinions scholarly? If you been following his posts u will realize he is just a fanatic, obsessed with black supremacy and filled with extreme hatred. It’s this mental state he put himself that made him fail in his sojourn in Europe.
That fool is getting killed the moment he step on Edo soil to preach rubbish or throw insults.
Edo boys no get joy for idiots.

Favor99:
This thread is supposed to be about the meaning of Edo flag. But hateful tribalists that follow Edo matter throughout nairaland have come here to spew their unprovoked hate against Edo.

You tribalists are obviously not happy with your lives. Otherwise why do you like derailing cultural threads with your nonsense. Find ways to better yourselves and your communities rather than trying to bring others down

davidnazee:
Instead of you to advice your idiotic brother moorish you are spewing rubbish from ur mouth

Olu317:
To believe is different from the evidence before you and I. Convince me about the ébi(e) system in Igala with same cognate and I may see it from your perspective.
As you seem to think that Igala gave birth to Nupe but the other way round is most like because of Igala has an account as the name of a man.Nupe-Ibariba-Borgu-Tapa existed before the Igala as a name.Go to Benue state and neighboring, you wil notice ‘Idoko' as a name amongst them . Why is this not amongst Yorubas? Tell yourself the truth my dear brother. If Yoruba is linked with these people,there would have been an account to this effect via a prince(s)/princess(es) migrants. Despite Nupe influence on Kabba,she still retain oral,panegyric, language, etc with Yoruba. In fact, there is a quarter at ILE that still speak same form of dialect with Yagba and Okun people as a whole even if there is slight deviation from the dialects. This can't be said about Igala- Nupe ,that you assume as linked to ancient Yorubas. If you refer to assimiliation, I wouldnt doubt because,this is the way intermarriages came in between different groups. Whatever account being claimed by different people are modern on Oduduwa. Beside, Odua had so many names that he was reffered and the Iconic of it all was ‘Oorni', Oonì O o nì ( owner of vast land ) . Many people want to be connected to him but are all these people his descendants ? Practically ‘no'. Like I had said,let us not engage on Igala- Yoruba connection on this thread.

Note; my last take on it on this thread.


Cheers.

See this idiot looking for who to kill him. You are obviously a frustrated person. You went to Europe and failed to make it where others are making it. You use ur legs come back home now u are blaming the whites for ur failures. Guy na village people Dey worry you.

gregyboy:
No one said blacks didnt contribute a thing like favour guy said benin kingdom is a recongnised institution in the world....
The way they planned themselves amazed the whites they were organised if not for tribalism benin spatial planning would be taught in the entire country ...which is only taught in university of benin same as egypt africans are beginning to speak out the real Egyptians were blacks not white and they made civilization to the world

But the question you should be asking is why did african civilization stop especially that of edo which is recent...only that we can find ourselves
Logging to the past to feel pride while our present is a mess is rubbish is like a drunkard telling he was once rich

Moorish:
Obalufon do you live in lagos?

BabaRamota1980:
Whatever Ijebu is to Yoruba, thats what Itsekiri is.

They are dotted to Ijebu same way Ugbodu is dotted to Owo.

I will agree they (Itsekiri) are ruled by a dynasty that is an offshoot of Yoruba.

gregyboy:
What history do u boost of the colonial era history or d slaves history all are history yoruba should be ashamed to talk when history are said
Ur history if one thing knows it is slavery

gregyboy:
What da Bleep....youre an uncivilized animal

Philosophers of olds argued all through out thier lives even to point thier lives where a stake they never fought because of argument....the argued for life and truth thats why u can leave on earth now....
If you want to pass ur information speak it ...as long as you're saying its the truth it wont be difficult to reveal itself out ....unlike lf youre lying
So why call a nigg to fight over it ...if u aint a black monkey this is how we africans disgrace ourselves outside the shores of africa especially nigerians am ashamed of you....
People die protecting the truth ...while u wanna fight protecting what we hvnt confirmed its truth...by the time you go fight with him he kills you you're stupid arguments ends there...be wise yorubas

gregyboy:
For once i agree with you on something....

Now do u see d way u go against and the obalufun guy wants to even doubt ure an african or deluded

Olu317:
If you say so but we are not. Kindly note, Itsekiri are Yoruba offshoot. Igala are not ,even if they are Yoruboid. Do you know the ancient Egyptians and Hebrew spoke a related language ? This didn't identified them as same offshoot. Infact they were brownish-Dark skin in nature that you hardly could differentiate them but only on tradition. The point here is that Yoruba had a system unique to them because of today. Yoruba may be related to Igala-Idoko via the after mentioned but doesn't go out of it.

Olu317:
We aren't . Anyone whose family isnt connected to the people at ILE IFE isnt/aren't Yorubas. Oriki(panegyric) and Ebi system nailed who is/are of ancient Yorubas. The same way Ibariba(Tapa) intermarriages brought about the relationship with Yoruba is the way Igala-Idoko is related to Yorubas. I don't belong to the group of Yoruba that's economical or emotional about the truth. I say it as it is. Ebi system knock 'em all off.

Olu317:
This thread isn't about Idoko but Edo. Although I had to made mention of it because of some Edo lies peddler on here.Briefly, Idoko are Ata ( Igala ) offshoot people who were the aborigine amongst the Nok culture that changed their names at different times because of migration and parents names identification. They can be found in Benue, Ekiti,Ondo,Anambra, Edo etc under the guise of Igala .They were/are heavily influenced linguistically by Yorubas ,Ibos,Jukun,Bini people etc.

davidnazee:
I know science and mathematics started in Africa with the Egyptians. But that knowledge was only restricted to a privileged few who belonged to a secret society. They didn’t teach it to other Egyptians or share it with other Africans, it died with them.
So why should I celebrate those selfish people when they did not impact our life in anyway??
Benin Kingdom wasn’t built with knowledge gotten from Egypt. We did it ourselves.

Olu317:
You got it! White historians didn't rewrite history but informed as it was from the era of civilization of Kmt-Kemet-Egypt. And they were the ones that shut down the egocentric Caucasians Supremacist Class about the truth as regard the Dark skin Egyptians that ruled at one time or the other. So,stop hating humans,irrespective of skin colour even if some of them don't love you. Preach love and don't be economical with it.

davidnazee:
The useless fellow that said his forefathers were unclad is your useless brother babaramota. Just say his name don’t be bias.
I think you even supported him on that.

We are not living in a white world. It’s only the mentally enslaved that will say that. We are in a world where we can share ideas, borrow technologies and use it for our self betterment.
Europeans borrowed (or stole) ideas from other races and made good use of it for themselves. The Chinese also stole some technology and ideas from whites and they are progressing. We Africans can do the same instead of this feeling of self pity that is consuming blacks.

davidnazee:
Africa had civilization in ancient times, so also did the Asians and whites. All these races had great civilizations in their history.
But when you compare each of them it seems while the others (whites and Asians) were able to pass on the civilization and knowledge to their future generations Africa’s died with the ancient people. The civilization and knowledge Africa had wasn’t passed along to future generations because the people at that time were selfish and only shared their knowledge with selected few among them. Egyptian civilization wasn’t passed around Africa or shared with all of Africans, they hid the knowledge and kept it for themselves till it was lost.
So I’m sorry I cannot celebrate something that did not help us as a race.

Olu317:
The present day ekiti and Ondo-Akoko wasn't heavily occupied by the Yorubas but by Idoko, Ika, efa people etc when Bini kept attacking which brought emigration back to Eastern part from where they came from. Chima,the founder of onitsha,wasn't any son of any Bini Oba but Ika - Ibo man . These people were Ika people,in Edo before they had problem with of the Oba . The migration back then begun around 13th-15th century,Eastward and resettlement begun to happen. Same problems took root with Urhobo,Isoko etc migrating away from Bini.Ika, and these other people were part of Edo before Oranmiyan came. And the maltreatment and heavy human sacrifices depopulated Edo.

Moorish:
I do honestly feel sorry for you because you do not have the truth

I used to self hate my ancestors too, just like you are doing

You do not need to do that if you have the truth..

The original nation was black. We have everyone in our gene pool (google search blacks with blonde and red hair)

The 24 elders are also the most intelligent beings in the universe, after allah

There were malevolent humanoid races underneath the earth's crust

BabaRamota1980:
Even historians acknowledge this. That Yoruba would have owned everything to the banks of Niger if Bini had not been regarded as a sacred crown and with fraternal to Oyo.

Without the ties to Bini, Ibadan alone is sufficient to wipe out Edoland and everything beyond.

You see what they did when just Seriki Ogedengbe headed to invade them....how they pacified him.

Favor99:
Well I got sick and tired of the tribalism on this thread and didn’t read any of the posts for like a few weeks. I even unfollowed the thread for a while. So maybe I missed it. My brothers retaliated to unprovoked tribalism from a couple of the posters. But I spoke out against my brothers retaliating and I got similar backlash

Favor99:
I’m not a tribal bigot. Your Yoruba brothers are demeaning our kingdom calling it jungle, forest and all those things. Calling us peasants. Edos haven’t really said much tribalistic stuff to you guys.
I’ve been trying to be peacemaker and put and end to all of this ethnic e-war, but no one wants to stop. I’m not a tribal bigot. I would rather end tribalism.
But all the high level hate and tribalism on nairaland from the different tribes is enough to get a reaction from even the most peaceful of people.
