TAO12 post=101085111"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". If you couldn't decode this person is from the Oba's family then you are irredeemable, I had to call him so he could clarify things and he came through. I am vindicated! viola!. In him we live and in him we have our being. He is just like a child you feel you must protect and take care of at all cost. That is how we the Benins see our traditional institutions. It is voluntary and inherent in every Benin man because we believe the well-being of the Oba reflects the well-being of the people. this online division you feel you are creating it's not there and I know it pains you that it's not there, when you are done shouting Yoruba Oba, you can go into your inner chambers and cry miserably for been from a cursed tribe (bastard nor dae Edo)you must be able to point your father's house and trace your ancestry down to the earliest of time. It is not a tribe you come into and after twenty years you say you are from that tribe. you must be able to identify your family unit and they must also be able to identify you and your immediate ancestor. if you are a foreigner, you will be a foreigner for life in Benin because it will be extremely difficult for you to mix with the locals. Our fathers left us an heritage and we are proud of it.EDORODION!! EDOIRISIAGBON!!AISAGBONRIOBA!! and lastly He is not from ife, the one you are talking about got missing in owo forest. They left us a strong identification system 1 Like 1 Share |

UGBE634:(1) The word in Benin context is “slave”. (2) You have identified as the oba’s slave. That’s okay. (3) However, your oba’s family line is NOT a slave line. 1 Like |

I am vindicated,Areafada2 is from the Umogun oba's line and he came through to clarify things with this comment so I am vindicated and this will certainly be my last comment to you."Every Benin person (including Oba's children and siblings) is Oba's servant and if they choose to call it slave, so be it.

UGBE634:(1) The word “subject” is used generally for the peoples of a kingdom. (2) In the Benin context, the specific word used is slave. (3) I can’t verify the Benin lineage of AreaDullard (4) He has claimed different things at different times. (5) Anyways, he is yet to confirm to me that he’s a slave. (6) You have confirmed that you are a slave. No issues. (7) Your oba’s lineage is NOT a slave lineage. 1 Like |

TAO12:The word used is not slave but I believe that as a slowpoke that you are you will just say things in absolutism without leaving ogbomosho to confirm, because symbrixton said so. Again know that I am not doing this for you because you are not worth it. Anyone who can go through areaFada2 post should not have a problem with identifying where he came from. The word we used to refer to ourselves in Benin is 'Okpioba' meaning Oba's man or 'Ovbioba' meaning Oba's child. my very last reply I promise as I believe the audience does not have a low IQ like you and many of them are well traveled and have seen things for themselves, they would certainly not be swayed away by your attempt to ridicule Benin online regardless of how much you were paid. You are not the one to trace his lineage as you are a bastard yourself having descended from a slave line yourself (an omoale)we the Binis knows where he comes from just by mere looking at his post. 1 Like 1 Share |

V. Nyendael quoted in H. L. Roth, 1903, p. 40. With this few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you that the word is “slave”. Tainkiu! |

TAO12:David van nyendeal account does not reflect the status of things on ground and the Igbos who are well traveled knows this. "Because your own na if he nor dae book he nor dae", it is either 'Okpioba' meaning Oba's man or 'Ovbioba' Oba's child these are the words we use to refer to ourselves in Benin.

Fezz: 1.If you are not sure of the date of Ekelederan's father's time of existence on earth,then how can you determine that he was Ọṣì/OdùIwá ? 2.Are you aware Igala/Akpoto was not in existence, when Yoruba ancestors fused temporarily with some Nupe/Jukun /Kwarafa to breed the present day Igala? 3.Do you have evidence to proof Igala is not a mixed breed of Yoruba and Nupe group's ? 4. What exactly is the emigration account of Ekeladeran to Igala Land ? 4. Who are Ekalederan's descendants in Igala Land ? 5. Do you have accounts that Ekalederan didn't have biological descendants in Ughoton /Gwato ? |
Re: Warri Succession Crisis: Oba Of Benin Wades In, Meets Ologbotsere by TAO12: 6:38am On Apr 25, 2021 |
Olu317:Ekaladerhan lived his whole life in Ughoton. He has not a thing to do with Igala or/and Ife. The Ife spin to the story (and of recent the Igala spin) are the 1970s face-saving revisions which are disallowed by the much older documentations on Ekaladerhan. The conclusion that he lived all his life in Ughoton is the only conclusion obtainable from the authentic account of Ekaladerhan which was collected by Cyril Punch in the 1880s and published by H. Ling Roth in 1903. The same authentic account of Ekaladerhan collected by Punch and published by Roth was also collected by Chief Egharevba from an entirely different generation of Binis in circa 1930. In each of the foregoing early accounts (especially that of Punch published by Roth), the conclusion obtainable is that he lived all his life in his kingdom of Ughoton. It took about 100 years since Punch’s collection before a group of insecure Binis (non-historians) stepped in to attempt a reversal of the original Ekaladerhan narrative by seeking to make him to be one and the same person as Oranmiyan/Oduduwa. And when asked to name their informants or cite even a source for their new and strange information, they didn’t name or cite one thing. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

TAO12:I have had the opportunity of seeing some of your references,which are also available to these Binis as well. Even at this, many eye glaring researches ,that specifically denounce such dubious assumption claiming Odua as Ekeladeran which is the reason I want to see evidence that proofs Ekeladeran being Odua , if indeed such is true. Obviously , Fezz position and others, who claimed Ekeladeran had no descendants remained the reason I want to inform these Binis that ideed Ekelaredan wasn't OduaIwa because Afonso D'Aveiro met Ekeladeran's descendant in Gwato/Ughoton. Thuough I await Binis response to my questions. |

TAO12: ODUDUWA I will stick to the Ife version of this Great myth because, I am yet to read the book of Samuel Johnson and a critical review of the general situation of the yorubas at that time will really help in understanding his frame of mind and his work. Having being a good reader of Greeks, Roman and European history, I personally believed he wanted a unifying factor in the make of a Alexander the great, Julius Ceaser etc for the Yoruba's, Oduduwa fits in perfectly. He wrote the book at a time most Yoruba domains were up in arms against one another and coincidentally several years back this same situations led to the emergence of Oduduwa, who battled a spirit man Obatala, and emerged victorious leading to the unification of Yoruba land. ORANMIYAN The son of Oduduwa and the grandfather of the god of thunder, Sango whom Bobrisky says his no fiction. Well the Emperor of Japan claims they descended from the SUN bet we all know better how men after turning leaders of men try to ascribe themselves all manners of godlike attributes to their ancestry. I wish periods and time could be apportioned these figures one could have seen how mythical all these beliefs are but I wonder, if the ward where Oduduwa is said to have originated from is known then this shouldn't be issue, but alas! It is with no doubt that when Samuel Johnson was up and about his book, Benin Kingdom was well known in Europe and the craftsmanship it offered. The British in particular who exiled the Oba in 1897 to Calabar, prior to this time never spoke of any greater chief or kingdom West of Benin, had their been any it would have been well documented. Instead a calculated raid of the territory was schemed out just to justify the looting of the kingdom. Ife or Oyo would have been raided if they had anything the British wanted, but the Chiefs and land offered nothing. Why the controversy over Lagos and not a controversy over any part of Benin kingdom? In the first place why a debate if it never was so? The interior of present Lagos may have had inhabitants of the Yoruba stock but not the shorelines and the lands about it, every man were subject to the Oba even the Portuguese and to deal with the Oba before any transaction was carried out with a third party. This practice was done by most kings of the coastal states, their territory was a no-no to Europeans until the ganging up against African kings culminating in the partition of Africa. The exile of the Oba to Calabar gave Britain control of Lagos, Oduduwa is nothing but myth, Oranmiyan is mythical and Lagos for over 200years was under the Obas control |
