You must be the high one,

I smell jealousy and hatred from your comments it shows you're from a land with no regards for kings probably the land were the children wake their elders with legs in the morning,

A king dances in it's palace dance's a step of a Nigerian musician instead of you accolading his effort to entertain the children but you saw it as an opportunity you choose to rain insult on your head, good for you

Lemme call tao11 on your head for insulting his king

It amazes me how your stupidity knows no period. That must be a special kind of stupidity. If I had not mention your Oba and his shakushaku moment, you wouldn't have been whimpering like a hungry dog. Get out of my mention biko.

Dancing is actually part of Benin culture, the Oba actually performs cultural dances at some ceremonies.

So shakushaku is a Benin cultural dance?

From Ooni cat walking, to Oba of Benin dancing shakushaku. Seems the gods have introduced a new 'highing' substance to their representatives.

I think you meant 3000 KIA, tens of thousands wounded ? Iran has roughly 4 times the population too of Iraq. Regime change from the air then is the only option.
Has it ever happened ? Libya 86 ? Nope. Serbia 99 ? Nope. Iraq, various times ? Nope.
To regime change, you need to get your hands dirty, ie, boots on ground. No way US tries that.
For those with spare time read the PNAC document from 1996. States clearly the aim.for the US is "full spectrum dominance". States also which countries are to be subjugated (Iraq, Syria, Lybia and Iran).
The chief of staff to late PM Ariel Sharon said the road to peace in the middle east led through Damascus to Tehran. Make of recent events, in the light of those aims, what you will.

Yeah. 3000 I meant.

I doubt it. Most of the work will be done via the air. Ground troops will only enter Iran after the destruction to mop up. Just like with Iraq by George Bush in early 2000s. The war ended in weeks with capture of Hussein even after all his boasting before the war started.

In that same Iraq war you quoted, over 30,000 US soldiers died.

It is very interesting reading your concurted version of history. "Ogiamen was the king" why Ogiamen? why not Oba has you have it today? What title did Ogiamen take as the Paramount ruler? Oba? yet Oranmiyan had no influence in Bennin? With time, to suit your purpose and sentiment, you will say Oranmiyan never ruled or visited Benin.

There was a system in place before Oranmiyan was there and there were people. The system was obviously not working and that was why he was there. He was not in Bennin to subjugate the people but to establish a political institution similar to what he had in his own settlement. And it thrived.

And you said Oranmiyan didn't rule as king. That it another joke. If he didn't rule as king, as what did he rule? As slave or servant? He didn't rule as king yet only his seeds has right to the throne. He didn't stay long. How do you come by that? He didn't stay long, but he stayed long enough to court and impregnate a woman, long enough to see to it that a child is born, long enough to see that the child is of age, long enough to partially or absolutely (as it suits you) establish a system totally alien to the people.


He came and left with all the people he came with. That is another joke. It's simply impossible and unreasonable of him to have done that.


And can you help do simple breakdown of words like
Olokun
Oba
Olu
Ogun in the context of traditional Benin religion, custom, tradition and language?

Here is the simple analysis I can do to them in Yorubas and prove to you they are veeery Yoruba
Olukun- Olu Okun. just as you have in Oluwa, Oluko, Olurombi, Olosa. Olu is used in reference to a person that own or has authority over something or to simply indicate a person. Oluwa- Olu+ wa (person + us= he that owns us). OLUROMBI - Olu + Ri + oun + bi (person + see+ object+ birth= he/she that gives birth to something). Olokun- Olu +Okun (he/authority + Okun (water body) becomes he that has authority over Okun.

Oba- O (he/she/ authority)+ ba (perches, dominates).
All these terms are as old as yoruba themselves. They have been in use long before Oranmiyan's sojourn to Benin. Why will you someone jusy wake up one morning and claim they are borrowed terms.

Stop engaging that petty irritant please. He's an ignoramus who enjoys living in ignorance. I read his comment on one thread where he admitted that Oramiyan, a foreigner,(according to him) named Benin, the land of vexation. Yet, the dolt will still come here to spew rubbish.

Do you know agbado market is in Benin

Agbado is a typical benin word when you come to benin ask were is agbado market ,they will show you
I hope this my explaination help you understand that the people were speaking the benin dialect when they called that place agbado,
when oromiyan left its logical that his follower's accompanied him back to ife leaving the child behind
No benin record mentioned oromiyans acompliance stayed behind all account says oromiyan let with peopls who they had come with

I know you will come up with one bulldung. Àgbádó means Àgbá-dúró (Elderly ones stopped). Your own Agbado can mean something else. Or perhaps, the Yorubas named the market.since you folks won't stop answering Yoruba names.

How would the conquered influence the conquerors tell me

The only yoruba man who came to benin was oromiyan ,tell me can only oromiyan ulter the benin lexicon,

But on the hand benin had visited the heartland of the yoruba people of ife ,they decide not to conquere them because thier son is already on the throne,
Some fraction of benin population are found in yoruba state

I spoke with a girl in Uniben she is from ondo state i asked she bears both yoruba and and edo name she explained to me her family's is benin who migrated to ondo by the order of the oba of benin before the arrival of the britsh

From this you can tell who is going to influence who by words

To tell you the truth, those that migrated from Benin to any part of Yoruba land were those, who followed Oromiyan or whose fathers followed oranmiyan from Ife to Benin on his journey to establish a ruling system in the land of vexation. Some departed before he, oranmiyan, returned to Ife, while some left him after he had established his kingdom. Hence the reason no traces of edo language cannot be found in those places these people migrated to. Because they came speaking the same language - albeit different dialect - with their hosts.

For example, the Ewi ruling house of Ado-Ekiti claimed that his ancestor (not that of the Ado people) came from Benin. According to that history, they named every area they had a stop, like Agbado (A town closer to Ado-Ekiti), which translates to 'The place where the elders stopped' because they were too tired to continue the journey.

Now, the question is, if these people were Benin, why would they name those places in Yoruba language? A language that is not theirs? Isn't a simple logical explanation to this is that, these people are simply Yorubas who left Benin before or after oranmiyan probably to found their own settlement, or just to leave the land of vexation for good.

Get the delusion off your little mind that your tiny land conquered any place. Language is too powerful to be allowed to evaporate just like that. English language is shaped today by the language of the Saxons that migrated to England, as well as the Normans that once conquered England.

Traces of some Yoruboid words can be found in Igbo today due to the contact the latter had with the Igala people. Despite the fact that there's no record that both the Yoruba and igbo had any contact with each other.

Every nation that once left Rome, still have some shared Latin words till today.

As far as the Caribbean nations are, there exist traces of Yoruba language and culture.

How come the Benin people you claimed left Benin to those Yoruba parts, lost their language without any traces despite the close proximity to the source? Isn't that theory laughable?

The best way to resolve Yoruba claim in Lagos is to remove Ijebu.

Even the Ijebu are not thought to be Yoruba.

The real owner are Awori, who also are not yoruba.

I really dont know if Yoruba just claim the City based on geographical proximity.

I guess they are from your tribe then. It amazes me how some people just like to showcase their crass ignorance to the whole world.

Oyo empire was larger, more complex and lasted longer than useless Benin empire

And yes Oyo had lower Nupe under its control

You can create a thread for Benin empire this is about the great Oyo empire

Oyo controlled all the way to Togo

Benin was never an empire, but a tiny kingdom. Hence its irrelevance in today's polity.

I transcribed a call yesterday that the customer is a Nigerian, Igbo woman precisely. The son seems to be an extravagant person, so the mum was telling the rep to also include her email or phone number, so she can be getting update as well. She said she wants to teach the son how to be responsible. The woman was just tearing Igbo any how with the son while the call was going on. "Chukwuma, bia denye email address gi nga" was one of the conversations. Working with QA can be real fun sometimes. grin grin grin. The call was supposed to be 11.3 minutes, but the actual valid conversation lasted just for 8.4 minutes. The remaining part of the call was left for the son and mum to speak in the background.

I did one of a Benin man last week too. Got a 5 because his English was clear like a typical African trying to be careful not to make a mistake. Searched him on the internet in order to get correct spelling of his name, then I discovered he's been in the state for very long, yet he still speaks typical Nigerian english(in terms of speed). And one mumu girl go dey blow Amerinaija grammar because she study English for university. Despite sey she never even enter Benin Republic for her life.

I'd advise you to start with 1hr or less calls. Even at that, if you know you're not sure of what you're transcribing, my brother release the call, or let it expire. Only submit a sure transcript. And ensure you had enough time to go over it like twice before hitting the submission button. And I'd advise you avoid fonding C and HCL calls.

Hi. I got a 1 on my first job. Among the many reasons was "missing content."

A complete statement (which I have written on the previous timestamp) was repeated on another timestamp with additional information.
So, I transcribed the new one, then deleted the previous one (I didn't and couldn't delete the speakers).
Please, what better way could I have done it?

That might not be it. For you've done no wrong (assuming the statement is correctly written). I'd advice you pick calls of 1hr or less than. Release fading Circle or CLH calls or any UK calls (those ones dey talk like sey dm get hot yam for mouth). And open FAQ as you're transcribing, for guidance purpose.
