TAO11:
The general Itsekiri populace are of the Yoruba stock directly from Ijebu and from some other parts of Yorùbáland.

The Itsekiri royal house, however, claims its descent is from the Benin royal house.

The Itsekiri royal house makes it clear, however, that the Benin royal house (from which it came) is of IFẹ origin/roots.

So any how you look at it, this king is correct about his assertion that Itsekiri is part of the Yoruba stock.

Shut up! How old are you? Ijaws that OPC nearly wiped off in Ilaje, Ondo State. OPC went to Warri and dealt with Ijaws killing itshekiri and that brought an end to the crisis... All this small boys sef... Go siddon and ask your elders what really happened....

PeterUdeme:


Stop arguing what you don't know. I'm from ondo state and we were part of Benin kingdom. Being a part of Benin kingdom does not mean we are Edo. Oyo kingdom consists of other tribes that are not Yoruba.

christistruth01:

As long as you Accept that Benin was under Ile Ife

The Problem is when Benin try to Claim that they didn't descend from Ile Ife because it is a cornerstone of Akoko Akure and all Parts of Ekiti that they are descended from Ile Ife

Owo Kingdom has never been defeated and they also came from Ile ife

Nisiw366:
Typical edo blog nonesense. Ondo was never part of benin kingdom

Nicho118:
exactly... this present Olu ancestors are from Benin.

“On the whole, the movements of Benin’s men in arms appear to have been intrinsically actions in support of trade and traders. Benin was a great trading state whose rulers paid very close attention to its citizens’ trading activities. The Oba of Benin himself was the patron of some of the most important trading associations that organized trade to various territories outside of Benin. It is in the context of the activities and traditions of these trading associations that we must understand most statements in Benin claiming many distant lands as places in which the Oba of Benin had influence.”

I have attached some things to enlighten you… just on ondo and akure kingdoms o las las we will all continue to be ignorant .

Because the Brit’s favored the Yoruba’s doesn’t mean we don’t know history o.

Sammy07:
Good, reading all, they were only trading partners or so, like how Ẹgba and Ijebu also traded in Salts and some clothes

They were NEVER a colony under Benin.
Tho Owo or Akure might be ruled by some Benin prince, buh i hate how he generalized it

TAO11:
There is no place in Owo or Akure ruled by a any Benin prince.

Those are all stories made up by the Binis themselves just to to compensate for their low self-esteem.

Those made up stories are actually unfounded and are not corroborated by the royal traditions of Owo or of Akure.

He explained that his visit was to identify with the Yoruba people, as Warri people regard themselves as

part of the Yoruba stock.
Wailers can begin to wail now.

I have heard some Eguns claimed they are Yoruba. I don't know if it's true.

Nigerialabalaba:

abegi!! Except u come from Bini royalty, no put ur mouth. Oranmiyan b d first Oba of Bini, Oranmiyan na Yoruba and hin come from Ile Ife and d current ile ibinu oba sef say hin na descendant of oranmiyan. Dat na why d head of d past oba dey rest for ile ife.

U wey be d commoner,proletariat and serfs fit come from anywhere but Bini Royalty na Yoruba.
If u no come from Bini royalty, u no be Bini prince or princes, u no be descendant of oranmiyan, u fit no be Yoruba and abegi nobody dey drag wia u come from o but for Bini royalty dem be Yoruba.

Itsekiri na Yoruba like Ilaje, Awori, etc be Yoruba.

All dis tins dey for Yoruba oral tradition ,even d Yoruba wey own accra today, dem family house still dey Ile Ife.
Like Ooni said, u fit say anythin,e no concern us but our history wey capture our ancestors,no outsider go edit or revise am.
