This was some of the reasons I called your betters by far to come and educate you[/s]
You said you are a slave. I agree because I know already.

But I am saying the king’s family members are NOT his slave. They are nobles with noble titles reserved for them.

What’s your problem with that, oba’s slave?
you can believe his ancestors for all you can but I will believe a man who is just 24 years younger than his father and he is far more educated

Educated in his traditional history than (1) his father, (2) his grand father, (3) than their predecessors, and than (3) the historical scholarship of pre-colonial Benin history.

A true slave of the Oba of Benin (aka @UGBE634) have spoken.

Nobody interpreted for Chief Egharevba when he gathered information from the court of Akenzua-2, and he wrote the first publication in Edo.

You sure do have a good lead in your storyline but I have questions you need give answer to, such as:

What did year Ogiso Owodo died ?

What year did Ekeladeran found Ughoton ?

Can you mention Ekeladeran's descendants in Ughoton ?

Can you mention how many children did Ekelaradan had in Igala ?

Can you mention how many children did Ekelaradan had in Ileife ?




I can't be too precise about the dates you are requesting for. It is said that Oranmiyan stayed in igodomigo around 1170 AD because archaeological work was done on his palace that was built in Uzama quarters in Usen and his palace still exists on that site till today.

Ekalederan had no descendants in Ughoton, he was still quite young when he left Ughoton. According to records, all that is mentioned is that he had followers who accompanied him from igalla land to ile-ife. He had a wife in igalla. According to records he had only one child called okanbi and i cant say if akanbi was born in igalla land. I'm sure you are aware of all the names of his grand children.

What kind of pleading is that?

His father is Benin, his mother is Yoruba, hence he is biased against his father undecided

And the whole Bini land (including Akenzua-2) would not see what he wrote and punsih him if he had written something different from what he was given.

The name ‘Ereko’ still exists till date in Lagos — on the island particularly.

We live in the internet age. Stop embarrassing your people publicly on Nairaland. Check it out yourself.

Also, please inscribe “Benin” to that picture for me and let it appear as the original. Since anyone can do it. I’d be waiting. Lol.

TRASH pulled out from your anus as usual.

Aworis are the founders of Lagos. Lagos account says this. Even the fraudulent Benin account admits this. I’m not sure what your version is. Your anus’s version I guess.

Well, if wishes were horses Binis would ride.

Lagos island (NOT even Lagos itself) was established by the owners — Awori-Yoruba.

And it was also named as Eko by the Yorubas.

I have given you references for each of these two lines of statement.

And the references I gave are decades/century earlier than the latter-day Benin version which you’ve been fed from childhood.

I would have expected any free-born who is not a slave to bury his head in those materials and learn rather than argue blindly like a typical slave of the Yoruba-Oba of Benin.

You lay out your points like a small kid whom is full of hate and despair. I already know your true motive, you are not hear to seek truth and share knowledge, you were sent here to debunk and devalue the Benin history.

But the so called reason does make no iota of sense. Use your brain for once in your lifetime. Brain usage is not an abomination no what who have told you otherwise.

If he had published a different information from what Akenzua-2 court gave him, he would have still been caught and punished.

About half a century before Egharevba’s time of writing, the same information have been collected from the same Benin. I guess those ones too were biased because their mothers are Benin.

Use your brain for once since you’ve been born. Nothing bad would happen to you if you do. It doesn’t stop you from being a slave. Try it today.

And also explain how that (assuming you will have any reasonable explanation for the above) prove that his father is wrong, his grandfather his wrong, their predecessors are wrong, Egharevba is wrong, Cyril Punch, and the historians of African history are wrong.

In what context was the interpretation done ?? That’s the question I was asking you lad.

Was the interpreter communicating Benin account to a foreign chronicler or what ??

And what evidence is there that the alleged ‘event’ ever happened in the first place to begin with ??

Do we have an audio or video of what was said ??

And how does the occurrence of such ‘fishy’ event (if it ever happened) prove the following points which you should be defending:

(I) That Erediauwa’s father (Akenzua-2) is wrong about his knowledge of his ancestral roots.

(II) That Erediauwa’s grandfather (Eweka-2) is wrong about his knowledge of his ancestral roots.

(III) That Erediauwa lived closer to the past than his father and his grand father and their predecessors.

(IV) That Egharevba is wrong about his received account of the ancestral roots of the Benin obas.

(V) That C. Punch is wrong about his received account of the original narrative about Ekealderhan.

(VI) That the published works in the world’s renowned historical journals by historians of African history are all wrong in their conclusion on the ancestral roots of the Benin obas.

[s]and that did not tell you that he is not worthy enough to be a middlemen as he could pass wrong words with different meanings to both side. they were not schooled enough to act as middlemen that was his point.[/s] if I may ask you what changed why did he go against his father's story being the educated mind that he is
Quoting my reply to your bolded question from a peer-review research article of the world’s present most prolific historian of pre-colonial Benin [Bondarenko (2003)] published in the prestigious journal History in Africa by the Cambridge University Press. He writes:

Their authors [i.e. authors of the “deliberately unauthentic” 1970s versions] are representatives of the nationalistically-minded part of the Bini intelligentsia who are seeking to ground the idea of an exceptional antiquity for their people and claims for its exclusive part in the sociopolitical life of independent Nigeria*. Behind such pseudohistorical studies by intellectuals, as if harmless, one can make out serious problems of [sic] the country, interests of political matter clans based on their members’ ethnic community*. ~ p. 68.

The Benin family system is such that every family was seen as having emerged from a 'uniquely' great ancestor who did his part in making sure the Benin kingdom cum empire survives. Ologbosere who was tried and killed is from the LA-OKUN family and anyone from that family who greets his oriki in the morning would be revered with praise from his ancestors in such a way that he will be happy and will believe that his family has a stake in Benin just like every other family having done his bit to ensure the survival of Benin kingdom. the same thing with the Ezomo n'uzebu family who their patriarch was the commander in chief of the armed forces. the same thing with Obaseki who their patriarch was also once the prime minister of Benin kingdom. The Benin family system is seen in such a way that every family is important and without the support of each family patriarch, the Benin kingdom cum empire which once was would not have been possible.

Benin Empire was a highly meritocratic society. Artisans who distinguished themselves in war (or other endeavours important to the nation) were even elevated to nobility rank. Examples include Evian who became the interregnum administrator, Ode, who became Iyase Ode, Ogbeide Oyoo (from Anioma) for whom Oba Ovonramwen created the title Obaseki and rising to Iyase (Prime Minister) under the British. Every Benin person (including Oba's children and siblings) is Oba's servant and if they choose to call it slave, so be it. The British call it Queen's subjects, but tribalists only have issue with Benin matter. grin cheesy
@ Davidnazee, Benin do not call it oriki per say but Benin being very open people who expanded East and West, only normal that we know other people far better. In Benin each family has praise name (uwanmwen) depending on ancestral line. It is usually in response to the morning salutations below:

Ogiso descendants-Delaiso
Eweka I descendants-Lamogun
Oliha Descendants-Laogele
Iyase Descendants-Lavbieze. Iyase is non-hereditary prime minister and changes salutation to lavbieze if not lavbieze before appointment. His descendants do so henceforth. So Lavbieze greeters may not be all related. Ohemwen family also greet Lavbieze so such greeters from that line are related.
Ezomo descendants- Lagiesan
Ero descendants- Lamosun
Edohen descendants- Latose or Lauvbe
Eholor n'Ire descendants- Laire
Oloton descendants- Lamehi
Edogun descendants- Lagiemwan
Ogiefa descendants- Laidu. Idu direct descendants also greet Laidu
Iyase of Udo -Lagiemwan (normally considered quasi Enogie/Duke of Udo but can be replaced in the role by Uwangue of Udo. No substantive duke in Udo since defeat of Prince Aruaran who was duke of Udo about 500 years ago).
Elawure of Usen descendants- Delaihe
Ojima of Okeluhen descendants- Laugha.
Enogie/Duke of Egor descendants- Lauihe
Iyase of Uselu descendants- Layede

There are dozens more.

Em-kini undecided If I hear empire I will stone you shit.

You want to turn African history into a joke by calling Benin an empire. Ruling a couple of surrounding Edo villages is NOT the definition of empire.

Artisans who distinguished themselves in war (or other endeavours important to the nation) were even elevated to nobility rank. Examples include Evian who became the interregnum administrator, Ode, who became Iyase Ode, Ogbeide Oyoo (from Anioma) for whom Oba Ovonramwen created the title Obaseki and rising to Iyase (Prime Minister) under the British.
I give you a pass mark here. But they are all still slaves of the Oba — they are not members of his family from Ife.

Every Benin person (including Oba's children and siblings) is Oba's servant and if they choose to call it slave, so be it. The British call it Queen's subjects, but tribalists only have issue with Benin matter. grin cheesy
The actual word in the Benin contexts is not “servant,” neither is it “subject,” it is called “slave” — S-L-A-V-E .

However, the members of his family are not his slaves like you the general populace. Yes they are his subject, but the term slave is reserved for you natives whom the Ife son met on ground.

@ Davidnazee, Benin do not call it oriki per say but Benin being very open people
Open to be force-fed with the Yoruba language by your Yoruba masters from Ife? LMAO!

who expanded East and West, only normal that we know other people far better.
Expan-kini ??

Expanded to ‘west’? Yet those whom you allegedly expanded to dominate were imposing their words on you instead of the other way round. Expanded ko, contracted ni

Oh okay! Expanded to cover some surrounding Edo villages. Got it.

In Benin each family has praise name (uwanmwen) depending on ancestral line.

Well, you forgot to include some orikis (praise titles) of your oba — his Yoruba orikis to be precise, some of which are:

(1) Ọba (”OBA), (2) Àdìmúlà (”ADIMILA [sic]), (3) Õṣà-[Ì]kejì (”O SAKEJI [sic]).

DOMO ERHAWMEN, thanks for the clarification on the lavbieze. No wonder they seem to be the largest family unit

You are welcome my brother. I added more greetings to the post you quoted.
Consider that Ohemwen descendants greet lavbieze too.

An Iyase is an accomplished person usually. In ancient times, he probably already had many wives and kids. Upon appointment as next in power to the Oba, kings, dukes and other nobility from outside Benin/Edo, East and West, would easily offer him brides to gain powerful connections in Benin. Therefore, he could have even have more kids.

Lagiesan greeters are also very many. Ezomo as war field commander was very rich. Wealth and marrying many wives and having plenty kids nor be today e start. grin

Tao11, seems this your student will never succeed in history. you should register him as an apprentice under Miyetti Allah. Trekking with cows from sokoto to Edo should make him much more useful to his Edo community than the disservice he is doing to the Oba and the community here.
I died. cheesy grin

But it looks like classes closed too early today. Just about 6 hours of drilling their skulls intensively.

Hmmm! Looks like we are making some progress.

I can't be too precise about the dates you are requesting for. It is said that Oranmiyan stayed in igodomigo around 1170 AD because archaeological work was done on his palace that was built in Uzama quarters in Usen and his palace still exists on that site till today.
Joker trying hard to sound smart.

Ekalederan had no descendants in Ughoton, he was still quite young when he left Ughoton. According to records, all that is mentioned is that he had followers who accompanied him from igalla land to ile-ife.
What records are you fools talking about sef?

Your earliest accounts all consistently lead to the conclusion that Ekaladerhan lived his whole life in his kingdom of Ughoton.

You have been born a slave m, must you die a slave? God didn’t give you a brain so you can forgo it’s use. Use your Brian’s today

He had a wife in igalla. According to records he had only one child called okanbi and i cant say if akanbi was born in igalla land. I'm sure you are aware of all the names of his grand children.
Lunacy has clearly been unleashed in Benin kingdom.

Who wouldn't run for a class where one has to receive crushing koboko on one's skull each time he/she exhibits dumbness. A default dumbo will never be happy or stay long in such class.

They are bunch of empty but egotistical and cowardly nonentities.

They know they cannot defeat you intellectually. They secretly admire you. In fact, they blame themselves for getting involve against you.

Erin nlo l'oko agbe ntaka, babanla baba tani oo fi oko p'erin?
