Edo as a people and a small tribe has produced two vice president, Aikhomu and Akhigbe. the vice to Babangida and Abdulsalami. As a small tribe out of the over two hundred and fifty groups in Nigeria, We have a nationalist of equivalent importance and strength to Nigeria's history to the nationalists from the two major ethnic group in southern Nigeria, in the person of Anthony Enahoro. We had Anenih even as he was from a minority tribe Edo, he was of worthy national importance that he was termed Mr fix it.
The father of modern Christianity in Nigeria, Benson Andrew Idahosa that dominated the Christian space for more than thirty years in Nigeria up till he died that he was dubbed the black missionary from Africa is Edo. And within this period, Icons from your two major tribes came to the "village" Benin cap in hand for insight and mentorship. We don't produce empty men. When an Edo man is set out for greatness , he sets out for it globally.
The first private airline was also founded by an Edo man( Okada airline) The first private University was founded by same person. Igbinedion University Okada. "Oh Edo is not all that with their two million population oh with their five hundred thousand population ,with their fifty thousand poulation" 2face said something if nobody talk about you then you are nobody,I think I agree with him. Edo is not all that yet her threads are littered all over nairaland! so much for one of the small tribe out of the over two hundred and fifty ethnic groups in Nigeria. EDOIRISIAGBON, EDOKHAVBAYE, EDORETIN,EDOROGIE, EDORODION.

You don’t know your history. If you dad is still alive and you ate an Urhobo, please talk to him ASAP. I am from a royal family and know these things! A dead king is buried standing!!

By the way, you sound very stupiddd quoting me without prior knowledge of anything. Learn your history.

Look at this nincompoop. So what are you saying? A dead king is buried standing with his head off or what? Are you normal?
What stupid royal family are you from?
You are a disgrace to your father if you ever had one.

No where in history was it recorded that a king dies and his head is chopped off, when man has always believed in the afterlife and wanted those kings to continue their royalty in the afterlife. How then will they chop off their heads?

You are insane with your stupid royal family.

UDUJ:


Lmao . I actually busted out with laughter when I read that dudes post. Just imagine

They would cut a dead king's head and send to Benin?

Very silly guy. When man has always believed in the afterlife and wanted their dead kings to continue in royalty when they pass on, how then would they have chopped off their heads?

Besides who then do we do libations to and call ancestors if the dead kings have no heads?

That guy is clearly drug and maybe stupid.

ur fore fathers were weak, defeated by a british force of 200 hundred men, never had it been heard in history that great empires or kingdoms were defeated by such a small force.. the trait of their weakness and failures can still be seen in all spheres of life of their offsprings. ur weak forefathers couldn't stand a mare force of 200 men talk more less ur superior the igbos..if u backward savages had crossed the river ur very existence would have been wiped out.

weak ass race!!!

Igbo have artifacts dating far older than anything found in any part of Nigeria. Archeological findings show that apart from Igbo-ukwu, the Igbo have been in Uturu area of Abia state for tens of thousands of years. Igbo are the oldest in our part of Africa if not the world.
But, for the topic, assuming for a second that there was a time some Igbos were actually slaves to the Bini, weren't Israelites slaves to the Egyptians at some time too? Can you compare the Egyptians with the Jews today in any way? Didn't Israel totally destroy Egyptian military during the Yom Kippur war in one day, and isn't Israel still the top dog of the middle east today?
What some of you should be wondering about is how come your so called slaves are poles ahead of you today and look set to best you for foreseeable future.
Kanu asking for unity of every group in South East and South south is because he is SMART and INTELLIGENT. He understands the banality of your kind of logic.

You are a slave, the inferiority complex of Ibos clearly tells you this. We can never be one with you guys, your mentality is that of a slave, repulsive...God forbid.

bomb24:


what history does your weak senile Edo kingdom have? ur pussy ass kingdom was captured within a day by British forces, but it took the British 5 months to capture the Aro kingdom. you dirty filths, the British recorded ur kingdom of u failed primates born out of marital prostitution and destined to die in the desert of Libya due to the poverty ravaging u primitive savages who can't afford visas to be "smelly and had a putrid smell of rotten milk". savages of no reputable image, bloated pigs . the towns inhabited by the aros and ngwas were once a territory that belonged to ibibios and Annangs but was captured by virtue of conquest. our Igbo ukwu artifacts predate that of bini, we had our clothing textile called akwete still displayed in the British Museum in Liverpool, had one of the oldest beads in west Africa.

Bini took some Ika autonomous communities as slaves and not the Igbos of the eastern region if our oba who dresses like a ceremonial masquerade had ventured across the niger his head would have been used to dance ikpirikpi ogu.

There is no atom of your greatness in your drops of blood u all are bound by failure the reason the only reputable person to have cumout of your rustic state is anini so stop the tomfoolery.

weak ass pukes defeated within a day. what a people what a race.

Have you ever heard of ibo empire

The whole world knows of Benin Empire, dumb heads. You guys are too dumb to be in same league with us. Remember UK is a small country but colonized and still weilds control over most of the world's countries, cos it's colonies still respect and fear her, it's same, Ibos fear Edos, cos they have been conquered and enslaved by us. It's same with Isreal and the Arab nations sorounding her, they are more than Isreal 5 to 1, but Isreal destroyed them all in battle. Never compare you weaklings to the Edo man, a hundred Edo men will take out a thousand Biafrans, ask your fore fathers who were our slaves they will tell you...Thank your stars for amalgamation and the world order.

Even the Itsekiris were under the Bini. Reno is being smart by half for saying the Itsekiri and the Binis. It was actually the Binis.

The Bini empire was the only one in Nigeria the Portuguese and later the British referred to as ‘Great’ in all of their text. Its influence spanned into the south west to present day lagos, ondo & ekiti, beyond the river Niger up to the kalabari and even cross rivers.

Its was for the untainted loyalty of the king in calabar to the Bini throne that he choose to be banished there by the British.

Talk wetin u know oooo.... itsekiris "adopted" a bini prince as king but the itsekiris were existing before. The itsekiris have the first educated king in Africa. They are closer to the coast, benin is more hinterland. They both share similarities, yes. Benin and itsekiris have very rich history. Ogidigben, escravos, forcados used for trading on the coast are all in itsekiri areas. Do u know who are the governor of benin river since that position was made by the British? Talk wetin u know ooo....

Eko is short for Yoruba Word Ereko which means field

Ereko Market is still there on the Island

According to the Osifekunde 18th Century Slave Narratives Ijebu Yoruba called Lagos Eko and Benin called it Kuramo, it also described how the Ijebu seized land from Benin and left only an Isolated part of the Lagoon (Isale Eko ) in Benin hands

Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the 1878 Jalumi War, there is also Eko Ajala in Osun State


Interpretation of the Osifekunde narrative from 18th Century

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the yebous have seized that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

Son of a slave speaking .

Social media Giants . So igboland was not conquered by the British abi? Ozuor! . They don't know their history but they are the most garrulous on social media

The British army with their guns would have defeated any African empire of old. Moreover, the Benins killed a British, which lead to the invasion.

But for the igbos? Naah. They are the scattered tribe. Every dick and Harry has and continues to trample upon them .

Look at how they have been hanging your forefathers from time immemorial! .

zinizta:



Will look this up..


Lagos belong to the Aworis FYI

The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally

Lagos is Aworiland

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland



On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War .

The Oyos had initially also taken Allada ,Ouidah and Cotonou at the time but the King of Dahomey had managed to take them back while the Oyo were very busy fighting the Power drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin

The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns
Aare oona kakanfo Oyabi had led the Oyo Army

The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland and all the Territory from there to Abeokuta Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.

The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan

The Ijebu Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki

All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was an Oyo man

Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,

Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos

Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade

The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans


Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today

Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878

The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period

The Land on Which Isale Eko of the Oba of Lagos is located belongs to the Awori Yoruba Aromire family till today

Aromire was one of the Sons of Olofin Ogunfuminire

The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos

It was the returnee Egba Slaves who had been Converted to Christianity at Sierra Leone that asked the British Queen Victoria to invade Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in order to finally end the Evil Slave trade

Bishop Ajayi Crowther had met with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert her Husband at Windsor Castle over the Issue of how to finally end the Slave Trade in Lagos on 18th November 1851 and the Royal British Navy Bombarded Lagos one month Later on 26th of December 1851.

Bishop Ajayi Crowther who was originally from Osogun near Oyo had himself at age 13 been sold to a Portuguese Slave Trader at Lagos for a bottle of Wine and some Tobacco leaves

Capt Labulo Davies who later married Queen Victoria’s adopted Daughter Sarah Bonnetta was on the British ship that Bombarded Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in 1951 and Oba Akitoye whom the British had restored to the Throne of Lagos had first met the British Missionaries at Abeokuta while he was exiled there as Abeokuta was also Oba Akitoyes Owu mother’s Hometown he had promised. to end the Evil Slave Trade if the British helped to restore him to his Throne which his nephew Oba Kosoko had Usurped with the help of some local and Portuguese Slave traders after Oba Akintoye had driven the Portuguese Slave Traders out of Lagos 6 years earlier

Slave Trading was Oba Kosoko’s Business and his Slave Market was at Ereko Market of Isale Eko on Lagos Island where he also sold European made Goods including Guns and ammunition used for waging Slave raiding Wars.

No. What Reno is implying is that these places were conquered by the Benins and some of their people sold as slaves.

Pls where ve u read or heard on history that Binis conquered main Igbo speaking states or lands? If u talk of Delta n Rivers ,it is possible , but d main Igbo speaking lands, I ve not heard. If u be facts pls present.

Lolz. What is the proximity of Ikwerre to Benin? [/b]How many ethnic groups are found between them. Are there any dialectical similarities between Ikwerres and Binis and Ishekiri or Urhobo or Ika or Isoko. None whatsoever.

[b]So where then lies your baseless claims Cos if there were any interactions between Ikwerres and any of those ethnic groups, no matter how long or short, there must be some form of cultural ruboff.

I'm not the one that said it, the Ikwerres said it themselves, that they migrated from bini, wike repeated same thing on an interview he had with dele momudu
