Both the words Iyan and Bini are Yoruba names.

Gambit23:


Itsekiri population was around 30k in the 19th century, this means that Itsekiri is an offshoot of another bigger tribe.

If Itsekiri were 30k in the 19th century, Then it becomes obvious that they might be just 3000 people or less 400 years ago, or better still they never existed in the 1500s.




Itsekriri are most closely related to yorubas

Meninmen:


The Biafra soldiers entered Asaba, Agbor, Benin city, and even up to Okene. So all these places are part of Biafra because you entered these places with little resistance from Federal troops? I like you people Sha. Una sabi get wild, unrealistic dreams

Lol. A conquered property calling others conquered property . Your people fought the Nigerian civil war. The Nigerian side came out victorious and ever since then, you people have been forced to be in Nigeria against your wish. Is that not a very good description of being conquered? .

Get your Biafra first . Then we will know if Benin is part of Biafra.

Gambit23:


There is no bini contact with Efiks

Etinosa1234:


Lol... The Igbo ni**a died mysteriously, untimely.... At a young age and leaving kids at the hands Of his widow to suffer alone

The Oba died at an old age, fulfilled and leaving a successor who he trained and empowered to continue in the lineage of his forefathers

That's a big difference

If that guy has an opportunity to do that again in his life, he'll never try it

BabaIbo:


Bullsh*t story!

You are just deluded.
Do you know how many people that didn't do that and yet they didn't reach his age?

The fact remains that he did it and it is in history.
You can shove the other story up your *ss.

Miscellaneous:


Man, the strength of the itsekiris and bini are not in their numbers so dont be deceived. They had great influence then, and the itsekiris have the first educated king and individual in sub saharan Africa. They have direct links with British and with just a maxim gun, they can capture all ibos. Did you know lugard used only two maxim guns to defeat the war-hungry fulani tribe?

Chris525:

Even in the North people eat Amala. How then is it called a Yoruba food? Chinese food is eaten in Nigeria, how then is it Chinese food?

Thats how ridiculous you sound.

You are the one sounding ridiculous by comparing a whole Region and a country (China) with an ethnic group.



Yam is cultivated accross many African Communities.
How you claim pounded Yam is a Bini menu is beyond common sense.

Miscellaneous:


Dont act dumb bro. Growth dont work like that in those eras. That article also tells you the urhobo, isoko, okpe numbers about 200k... today those people are over 10million. Ibos in those era shouldnt be more than 500k. We are only seeing huge population growth because of better standard of living.


Ijaws have no documented history even as far back as 1900, do u think they dont exist then?

Gambit23:





""strength of the itsekiris and bini are not in their numbers so dont be deceived""

Itsekriri population both in the 19th century and today represents 1% of the IGBO population, And every IGBO community is over 3 times the Itsekiri so there's no way they would have ventures into IGBO land to raid villages to take slaves, it is impossible. The IGBOs actually fought the europeans(with their guns) for 32 years before we fell, that's the longest time it took the British to conquer anyone anywhere in Africa. If Itsekiri ever ventured into IGBO land, they wouldn't be in existence today. Pls Itsekiri had no strength, They never defeated anyone in war and there was never a record anywhere that Itsekiri fought with IGBOs, show get size abeg.




""first educated king and individual in sub saharan Africa""

Can u show any proof to this?

Gambit23:



"That article also tells you the urhobo, isoko, okpe numbers about 200k"

Which article did u pick this from? From my screenshots??


'Ijaws have no documented history even as far back as 1900, do u think they dont exist then?

Ijaw had history from 1900s.



'the urhobo, isoko, okpe numbers about 200k... today those people are over 10million"

10 million people? Where exactly are they , Urhobo and Isoko are mainly found in delta state and delta state population is 4 million max. The remainder of them are found in smaller population in Edo and Bayelsa (they are minorities there)....so pls tell me where those 10 million urhobo, isoko ekpe are.



And IGBO population was 3.9 million in the early 1900s...And not 500k

Dont be intentionally deluded.

The name of his grandfather is purely an IGBO name. Meaning that his grandfather is answering the name of his slave...Have u ever seen a European answering Chinedu Fashola Arewa?


A MASTER CANNOT BEAR THE NAME OF HIS SLAVE.

iSlayer:
This history most likely connects Ikwerre too. They are all Bini slaves from time.

1Sharon:


So why did the Benins leave Lagos?

Nostradamus1:
They don't want ur biafra

BKayy:

Na Fulani side not Nigeria. That is why is said that we have to discuss who owns you people between us and the Fulani.

1Sharon:


[s]What is Benin? Foreigners corrupted your indigenous name 'ubini' and you agreed just like that?[/s]

Malawian:

This una fictitious"Bini Empire" where did it start and where did it stop? Your fictitious Bini Empire couldn't even conquer Agbor kingdom that is next door to it. I am going to tell you a history Bini have almost whitewashed from existence. There was a time in the back and forth tussle with Agbor kingdom that Agbor invaded and occupied Bini kingdom for a few years. In other words, Agbor defeated Bini in battle. Ask any elderly or cultural Bini, he will know that history. I read about it when I schooled there.

BabaIbo:


If it makes you feel better.

But ehn I'm just imagining how them take banish your king that year.

You are d*ft, so I'm not surprised that you posted an unknown blog news as prove.

The number of millionaires in a town in one eastern state is more than the ones in your whole state.

Your state is the state with the moat us*less, most lazy, most adulterous and any other negative characters in the whole south.

BSsniffer:


Inchorent catshit. Bye.

zinizta:


Lagos? When did I say Lagos Or that they own Lagos

I was talking of Lagos Island....and the Benins don't own Lagos Island just like British don't own Nigeria.


The Aworis living there agreed to pay tribute to the Old Benin Empire.....

The Empire installed the first oba who happens to be a Benin man

Meninmen:


We are saying the same thing na. The Hausa/Fulani came out victorious in the war. They conquered Biafra and ever since then, the igbos have been in a relationship (Nigeria) they don't want but they can't do anything .

Presently, the igbos are a conquered tribe in Nigeria. While I talk about the present, you talk about a futuristic Biafra Nation that will never materialise majorly because of the greed of your own people! So, as we speak, the igbos are a conquered, defeated tribe in Nigeria.

BKayy:

So in what you are saying in essence is that your people are Fulani's property.
Well not until we discuss with the Fulani on the ownership.

Meninmen:


What I'm saying is that the Nigeria military comprising of Hausas, Edos, yorubas, Fulani, urhobo, Ijaw, itshekiri and other ethnic Nationalities that make up Nigeria defeated the igbos in the Nigeria civil war and ever since, the igbos are the only conquered tribe in Nigeria and they are going no where!

Pepper their yansh bro

Dem sabi chest beat and claim victim at the same proportion..

Now na dem dey beg for presidency now... After dem go say na Yoruba, Benin, esan, ijaw naim be conquered people

Who's the conquered tribe now

iSlayer:



Go and tell Reno.

Meninmen:


Don't mind the idiots. They are their own problem. I have lived among them and I can boldly tell you that the major reason Biafra can't be actualised is because of their greed.

Let's even assume the impossible, that Biafra is actualised. They will self destruct. They will fight themselves because of greed. Just leave those people. I know them!

BKayy:

LOL. You know you are deceiving yourself but continue.
Very soon your eyes will clear. No need to argue if what is up will fall when there is gravity.
They are already at your door step. And by they, I mean your Sahel comrades

Miscellaneous:


If you ever went to school, you must have been taught about jaja of opobo and nanna of itsekiri. We had most ibos as slaves back then because of our direct relationship with the Portuguese and then British. Most African history are generally undocumented so it may not be obvious today. Reno Omokri provided castings from bini and itsekiris showing ibos as their slaves, the onus is now on you and others to show a counter Proof and perhaps, explain why we have you in castings as slaves.


You are one of those who think only ibo, yoruba and hausa are the only tribes in Nigeria. This tone is all over your scribblings, but today you will learn new things.

Read the first paragraph and explain to yourself how itsekiri was able to dominate the 15th century with Antonio Dom Domingo ... the king of warri, first educated in sub saharan Africa. There are lots of books on it bro

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olu_Atuwatse_I

Did you know itsekiris chief dore numa was the only man from Niger delta to sign for everyone in south leading to the 1914 almagamation?

U go learn new things today
