What I said is extremely simple, and doesn't need to be explained any further: Awani is not a "people" it is a geographical location, it simply means Lagos. It has been used also to name the people who live in Lagos and those people except the slaves dumped on our shores and the migrants from jebu, dahomey and oyo, those people are Edo. They are the original owners of the land |

Someone talked about the fact africans lagged behind in education, well do you remember the last historical conference in Berlin ? I am sure you remember that after professor Xavier finished his exposé, some other professors rushed to the microphone and started insulting professor xavier, and they did so for 30 minutes. Well, you get my point. |

Binis: Aworis, please be Edos, we need you to jack up our wonderfully-low self-esteem. Aworis: God punish you Binis for trying to steal us. Be contented with your low-self esteem. Me (as an Awori): Can someone please define “inferiority complex” again. I need to check something. 3 Likes

Truthvalue:But ofcourse, we are in the age of politicization of facts and reality. Truth is no longer truth, fact is no longer fact. Fact is the narrative which better serves the interest of those whom are talking and truth is only an inconvenience which must be forgotten and buried. I will and I have always resisted these myopic and childish african habbits. The number one Awani, the Oba of Lagos, spoke very clearly: "The Oba of Benin is my father". On this and with the eyewitness records which I posted earlier, I rest my case. Areafada, davidnazee, gregyboy, samuk.

The Binis/Edos should deal with their low-self esteem by themselves. We Aworis are not the reason why they (the Binis & Edos) are inferior people in the first place. So, we Aworis can not be of help to them in dealing with their low-self esteem. They should see a therapist ASAP! 3 Likes

Truthvalue:Baldie, When will you stop being a bondservant to the very light skinned people who mutilated my native Yoruba name “Awori” into different sloppy European renderings such as: “Awani,” and “Ahouy” among many other mutilations of the native Yoruba name “Awori”?? When will you stop?? When?? Just give me a date. Perhaps, all the different sloppy European renderings and mutilations are all the actual indigenous name. SMH! the Oba of Lagos, spoke very clearly:Exactly how he (the Oba of Lagos — Oba Akiolu) was extremely clear when he said: The Alaafin of Oyo is my father. And exactly how he (Oba of Lagos) was similarly clear when he said: Lagos does NOT belong to Benin kingdom. And exactly how writers from the late 1700s have noted that Lagos land is Awori land. And exactly how Aworis (of both Lagos & Ogun) have repeatedly pointed to their homeland — IFE. On all these, do reasonable people (who have not being infested with low-self esteem and inferiority complex) stand. ————————- PS: A precolonial map of Africa below shows how GUINEA conquered and owns Benin kingdom.

Truthvalue:The Oba was not ready to expand the religious aspect of the Portuguese , which was one of the reason at first, that brought the decline of bilateral trade dealing with Bini people and her king. The same cross being used to cajoled Bini king via orthodox christianity had been part of sect of Yoruba traditional form of worship, known as Èlà worship in which it is given as a gift to king as present or gift . So , your king had always being son to the throne of ọ̀ni,àni, òni, which was the foundation of of Bini òbà dynasty through oranmiyan. |

Gregyboy, I am yet to see you quote what I said which you think is wrong. I am hugely disappointed in you. If there is one person in here whom has been defending true history, that is me. It didn't take reading Ryder for me to realise oduduwa oranmiyan and ogiso were fairytales. I had been denouncing these for years and back then you were opposing me on this. Backstabbing is not a good thing my friend. You should hold yourself to better standards. Also stop telling stories, that is not what history is about. History is not a story, it is a set of events which were recorded by eyewitnesses. This simple fact about the very notion of history is what most nigerians fail yo understand. The fact history among many other subjects is not well thought in nigeria is why anybody in europe with a decent educational background can go toe to toe with Nigeria's best history professors. |

Truthvalue: This is were you get it wrong aworis are not edos eyewitness could misinterpret everything Aworis being under the bini command does not make them edo, They are Yoruba's and even if they claim edo they will only face discrimination and would never be fully accepted as edoid... The only true edo are esans and benins the rest from edo north downward are too mixed to be edos.. And i dont believe in amassing population to our tribe... We are ok as we are... Claiming the awori lands as edos which it is is a good one, but aworis are Yoruba's Before benin discovered lagos, the aworis already had contact with ijebus making them yoruba related |
