I mean no disrespect man, but...

How do you expect to live in a country with the Edos with this your rhetoric?

You are basically saying yorubas are superior to edos.

I do not believe that.

What i believe is we have things which make us unique. That should be our focus

If the Edos say they are superior to us and we say same, that is the start of conflict

We should respect each other.

I have a deep reverence and love for my ancestors, all the peoples who now make up nigeria

I never had the priviledge of being born and raised in my ancestral land of oyo. I have lived in parts of nigeria and outside nigeria

A nigerian heritage is my only hope

Peace
What disgust us mostly as Yorubas are the manners at which these set of people, tries so much to tell lies. Take for instance, Majek Fashek, who grew up in Edo and with his Edo mother. But little did a lot of people knew , Majek was of a Yoruba father and not until he had problem with drug before his paternal family called on important Yoruba bigwigs, who sponsored him for rehab at U.K hospital. If the man had died before the era of accessibility to internet, a lot would have thought he is Edo,the way I had thought in the early 1990s that I saw him in my area at Lagos.The point here is certain information needed be made open before people, who enjoys revisionism manipulate the truth. In as much, we Yoruba show love to some of these Edo people but turn around to insult such privilege,then it is better to expose the truth because of future generation.

Olu317,

Yes I’m Amhara and speak Amharic, but I can’t speak the Falashas naive language/s. But if you want it in Amharic, it’s translate as “yena Fetari/Egzire meder".

Some Falashas are of Amhara origin just like some Amhara are of Falashas. But generally, all Falashas are grouped under their own distinct ethnic

How is that statement translated into one word in Yoruba language? Is Yoruba last generally expresses a statement by one worse just like Chinese language?
The etymology of Yoruba language is a derivative of combination of words,which are collapsed into it purpose of meaning. And when there is need for the interpretation to English version, you find it necessary to explain it in the best fit. ILÉ( Land) Urisa–Orisa(God) m–mi(me). This is how it was formed. And you can either separate it or collapse it naturally into one pronunciation.

AdaFonju,

Most Ethiopian Jew indeed speak Amharic currently but this isn’t their own language and it was only after the 17th century they adopted it. Their own language is Agew (Cushitic), sometimes mix with little ancient Hebrew.
Can you mention 20 old Hebrew words spoken by the Falasas(Ethiopian Jews)? Then, how do they say; ‘the land of my God(s) or my God's land in Ethiopian Jews language' ?

In Yorubaland,it means ; Iléosami or iléorisami or iléorusami.

How proud should British sons feel since they conquered us all? And we speak their language? Copy their civilization from the clothes we wear to the names we give our children

Prior to Oranmiyan creating Ile Ibinu, which evolved to Bini, did you ever have a people on your land called Bini people? No! The migrants from Ife, the Nobles, the Aristocrats and Diplomats, these are the Binis.

What you have is land. This is why you have a custom that negotiate with the Bini King to lease land before he can be coronated.

To buttress more to your view. As at close to mid 1930s or thereabout was the reign of Current grandfather of Oba Bini that did the treaty which showed Bini King was a foreigner from ILE IFE. So also, the previous Obas in Biniland that reigned. Below is the treaty that still proof this liars wrong about Bini kingdom

Common sense is really not common with some people or you blinded with jealousy you forgot your common sense somewhere abi?
Rome is tiny but ruled the world. I think some Yorubas will understand that size dont matter but it is your bravery and power and strategy that counts and Great Benin had it all.
Your map only shows location of Benin and not the reach and influence of its empire.. You really not get sense at all.. Macrof is more sensible than you.

on another note, if you say Benin is tiny and Yoruba is large but yet you fighting superiority battle with Benin and having this back and forth arguments, doesn't it show that Great Benin must have impacted your lives in a very big way? afterall no smoke without fire.
Obviously, your opinion is basically from Edoland and doesn't go out of there . Continue in your ignorance like I have mentioned. Either Macof is more sensible than I or not has nothing to do with you because, he is even Yoruba and not a serial liars like many of your likes online from Edo. For every negative words you wrongfully use on me,then it means you have abused your king because he came out of my lineage . Go and learn the difference between Oviedo and Omo Yoruba. Pathetic liar from the Edo enclave is who you are. I chose not to engage you on abusive term because I am older than you from the way you type online . Hopefully, in your next life you need pray to Almighty God to come out as a descent of Oranmiyan as I am. You can see you have nothing as historical to glorify you as what my ancestor did in your Edo village. And the last time I checked ,the map was Kingdom of Edo by Professor Osarhieme Benson Osadolor.

I hear you brother, but at this point in time there is no point arguing on who is superior. We are all black people, african people.

We share alot in common, especially southern nigerians

We had civilizations. We need to pull on our collective strengths and heritage, respect eachother and build an empire here in africa that would do the black nation proud

We have the wrong set of leaders and by the way some of us are acting we won't make better leaders either
Great opinion from you although the reality is that we may look alike as Africans so also via intermarriages but not necessarily of the same stock as Africans. We always fail to see the reality as Africans because, until we recognise our groups as different identities and work on our unifying factors. As a Yoruba man , I know my history very well and we aren't cannibals as some Africans, even within some of the enclave you mentioned. And, I find no pride feeling superior over anyone . In fact, in real life I mingle with sane people ,irrespective of tribes and no a hater of anyone. Once again, I appreciate your opinion with great humility.

Truthfully, you are right but these Edo revisionists are the problems we have because they are trying so hard to tarnish the image of many Yorubas ancestors with their rotten lies they peddled online .I am sure you have seen some Edo using foul language on Ooni's stool as well as how rumours can be spread like wildlife online.

Please where did Oba Ewuare say oba is an imported word from Yoruba land? He only said Oranmiyan was brought to Benin to become the first Oba. Was Yoruba using Oba for their rulers at that time??

Also Oba Ewuare said “Those of you that know the history know that the then Oliha came to Ife to ask that Oranmiyan be brought to Benin. There are details in history books. I am cutting out the details. It’s all in the history books and you can research that”

Our Oba showed great wisdom and grace by not going into details else he would have made his hosts look foolish.

Unlike Yoruba that busy themselves with untrue stories of our pasts Obas head brought to Ife, showing pictures of dilapidated building as burial place of obas of Benin.

I even wonder why the Yoruba elders brought that story up at the meeting. Stories that have no substance and not true.

Heterogenous People that struggled with her neighbours during ancient era that lost few places they try to manoeuvre with total Area; 17,802 km² (6,873 sq mi).
And If divided with the four major ethnic groups; namely Edo (Binis), Esan, Owan and Etsako. How many landmass would Edo–Aka–Udu –Igodomigodo control? It means Edo–Bini will control 1718.25 sq mi..

Why I am the 40th Oba of Benin Kingdom?
History also reminds us of the importance of the present time which is the only opportunity we have to take the different and too often fragmented components of our collective past to prepare the foundation for a unifying and collective future. A long line of succession of kings in the Kingdom known as Benin, started in the 12th century by modern recording. There may be some different views about the origin of some of our ancestors, but there is unanimity in the shared heritage between the people of Benin and lle lfe in identifying Oduduwa as a forebear of kingship in many kingdoms in some part of Africa and the part called Nigeria today. Historians all agreed that Oduduwa sent his son Oromiyan at the request of elders of Benin to return to them as ruler of their realm. Oromiyan staying in Benin may have been short, but before he left, a child was born to him, who was later crowned Oba and he is known today as Eweka the 1st. ;
Oromiyan’s time in Benin, however short-lived, he was an Oba and so he was the first OBA after the Ogiso dynasty came to an end.

Oranmiyan was the first Oba in Bini...As simple as ABC.

[quote author=odigbosky post=67176335][/quote]Absolutely untrue. Oranmiyan didn't met Adimula( Oduduwa) on throne,which knocked off your point. Secondly, naturally in the ancient IFE , after consultation of IFA , princes with pedigree lives to explore new ground and places,so did Oranmiyan and princes before he was even born. Such as Fagbamila Orangun Ila, Owu, Obokun, Olalomi etc . Secondly, Owomika couldn't have been killed because, where he( Oranmiyan) settled down were warriors who came with him from ILE IFE and protected the child as well as the loyalist Igodomigodo warriors. Thirdly, IFE beads existed before Bini's because Bini itself was a Yoruba captured enclave and introduction of Yoruba kingly system as well as genealogy record took firm root in Bini . And it was after Oranmiyan left before his grandson conquered the other stretch part of Aka/ Igodomigodo. Fourthly, Oranmiyan had to leave because IFA was the path to all Princes and other hunters migration to anywhere in Yorubaland. Lastly, below is the picture of excavated beads at Olokun site in ILE IFE,which dated back to over 1000 years ago.

You lie. Studies in History have shown that the Cocoa & other cash crops boom of the 70s/80s had its returns localized. In essence, the kings of each locale headed a board that amassed farm produce and sold them at agreed price. The goverment got taxes from this but the proceeds went into community developments under Kings - it was this way during colonial period with the supervision of District Officers and continued into 70s/80s under Kings until the Land Use Decree was promulgated. Your falsified 35% must have sunk into the pockets of the Oba Bini, proceeds did not go to the government other than tax.



Stop playing victim. Yoruba make comments and bask in their origins, you Bini do nothing but froth and begin to insult Yoruba while trying to force your narrative on others. Several Yoruba folks from way back like Katsumoto, Negro-Ntns, Obalufon, Macof & so on have posted verifiable facts but your rebuttals have been 1. Yoruba had a head start and have written rubbish. 2. Independent foreign researchers like Bradbury were influenced by Yoruba people. It was on this same Nairaland that a Bini nationalist-irredentist insulted Jacob Egharevba and claimed his mother was Oyo meanwhile his mother was of Edo origin and the Oba Bini at the time vetted his work before it was published.



Japan never ‘ruled’ China. It won a war against and occupied a bit of China. That is where it stops. You lot are less than 3 Million and you want to go against a peoples of over 20 Million with countries in Latin America & West Africa?



Nothing is setting. Yiibos invaded and tore Bini apart during civil war of ‘76. If Yiibos did it then, they can do it again; if Yoruba sons deflated Igbos who conquered you, guess what these Yoruba sons would do to you?
slight typography error on your path. Kindly do correction. It was 1967 civil war.

1. What you are quoting is Oyo’s history of Oduduwa. In as much as many Yoruba may identify with him, Oduduwa was and remains Ife’s business. He never lived anywhere else outside Ife, why Oyo of 14th century and everyone wants to draw up narratives about the man is quite disgusting. To the Ife people, Oduduwa lived among them and belonged to one of the communities in Ife. To Ife, he was an opportunist and usurper. A good number of compounds in Ife do not identify as ‘omo Oduduwa’. Oduduwa early history is IFE HISTORY not Yoruba’s history, please differentiate this.

2. Adetona is a revisionist. In Samuel Johnson, the old Ijebu king said an entirely different thing. Till today there is a compound in Ife from where Ijebu Ijesa from which Ijebu Ode & Ijebu Igbo progenitors emigrated. Ijebu Ijesa shares a lot of History & intense similarities with Ijebu Ode/Igbo - socially, culturally & politically. I will attach a picture of the recorded words of Awujale, his Balogun & the people of Ijebu in the 17th/18th century.

3. Awori never paid tributes to Olubini. Only the Eko king did. Awori had their own ruler in Olotto. The Awori let the Bini whom the Yoruba generally regard as ‘cousins’ (a stupid mistake people make till today) and do their thing while they carried on with their own stuff too. Eleko’s relevance stemmed from having the first contact with the Europeans given his locale; the same situation with Alaafin & Ooni; Olugbo & Amapetu etc.

After I did all my findings about the origin of Oduduwa I realised, the Benin account is somehow right. If Oduduwa never came from Benin, the Chiefs of Benin wouldn't have picked Oranmiyan to come and become King after the Ogiso dynasty came to an end.
Just imaging this opinion from you,who had no known knowledge of Odudua yet you chose to follow a liars opinion. I pray for you not to be a victim of swindler (s) oooooo by God's grace . But wait up! Are you truly Yoruba? If you are,then it is no big deal if you dont know much Odudua but seek from the correct source. There is absolutely nothing right about Edo account. If you are interested in learning about Odudua. First, find out his lineage at ILE IFE. Secondly, find out if there is difference in ancestral method of worshipping God between Odudua has nothing in comparison with Edo's claim. Thirdly, why is Odudua adhere to white usage of clothing? Oooh ,you think Ooni Ogunwusi loved white or it is attached to Obatala? Am sorry for you if you allow fairy tales informants to sweep you off your feet. Edos account are filled with bunch of lies without proof. Please HELP us thank God because Oranmiyan was buried at ILE IFE ,otherwise, their LIES would have looked so REAL.

i like the guy he acts like an intellectual but anybody that have half a brain can see through it. He says a lot of things then contradict himself next
To ‘act like an intellectual ' ,isnt the same as intellectual because , intellectuals may disagree on issues but not on true situation of things as clear as ABC. If this guy can pass out information based on assumption that is defamatory,which this said guy and others had done in the past and even used foul word on Ooni's stool, then he lacked being called an intellectual. You see, there are Odudua descendants everywhere and do have account of their history even if it has been long. These guys are filled with pride simply because, they don't feel comfortable seeing that Odudua descendant known as oranmiyan owns Oba Bini lineage. This was the reason they came up with all lies. This is my disagreement with many of his likes that detest the truth. These Edo should go and read the place where the Neck of previous Kings (Òorun Oba Ado) were buried. Oba Ewuare visited the place when he came to ILE IFE . So who are the liars on here? This is the reason, it is a futile mission to engage someone who know nothing apart from lies circulated online and used 'em as propaganda.

lol I know u are a dumbass but I will indulge u see this is what happen oduduwa had kids the kids had kids and the kids had more kids So they are part of a long royal family that are all his descendants so part of this large family ifa chooses one to be king whenever a previous king dies. Do u get it now or do u want to act more foolish I know it’s fun for u.
Why waste your time on him? He does not know but claim to know. Just imagine, the trash ,he typed as ‘imaginery Oduduwa genealogy,' yet he has nothing to link Odua to Edo apart from Oba Bini lineage through Oranmiyan. Even Ogiso,did not have any name linked to ‘Ora—Oran talkless of Adimla ,which was Odu to da uwa bore as his other name. It is better you keep away from such personality that are bent on distortion of ancestral connection of Owoka(Eweka) descendants to ILE IFE.

My brother just ask any Yoruba person a simple question, where he or she comes from he will tell you from the Sky. U can tell of a race or a nation that knows nothing about his origin, but telling you about others, their Aborigine.


A simple question for the Yoruba, go asked His Majesty Ooni of Ife where his forefather Oduduwa which is also called Ekelederan is from?
‘ Ekelederan' has no meaning in Yoruba language and does not exist amidst the descendants of Ooni Odua, starting from Ila Orangun, Ajaka(second Alaafin) Oniketu, Popo, Owu, Alaakè, Obokun etc but Edo claiming otherwise . How does a meaningless name in Yoruba be their king's name? The most senior male descendant of Odua was and is Ila Orangun and does associate with Bini on this falsification. And if you are looking for Ekelederan, the place where he was buried is at Ughotan. This is the rightful place to visit. Have you forgotten, we gave you (Edos) knowledge of Fabric production? In fact, Aso Oke , is your ancient traditional attire in which the Oba Bini patrilineal ancestor and his followers brought from ILE IFE to Edo.....
