This is beautiful. So how come the greats disparity in their language, as the centuries 1500s and 1900s isn't far for there to be a new pool of languages? |

Benin became a big empire ruled by many Obas who are Eweka descendants also Eweka descendants ruled some of Yoruba towns till now e.g Tsekiri ( Ginuwa) and Èkó Island( Asipa) also other places like Obi of Onitcha , isseluku are all descendants of Oba Eweka i The Current Oba of Benin Omo'N'Oba Ewúare ii is a descendants of Oranmiyan We can conclude that Yoruba and Benin have so many entwined fates Madmazel99: |

Oranyan journey to Igodomigodo was in the 1200s that's why we have some similar words especially when it comes to royalty. Journey of IGODO was over 300 yrs before that of oranmiyan that's in the late 900s you can see that so many years go the Language have been diluted by other neighbors Nonetheless there are also so many similarities between yoruba language and edo Language For example i met a guy recently he is from Benin bearing the name [b][/b] AISIOKHUEBO , honestly if any yoruba man hears the name he won't think it's yoruba corrupted Benin name i told him confidently that guy this is yoruba words and he should tell me the meaning of his name he said” u don't look for Ogun's trouble” When i break the name down it mean same thin Aisi-u don't open Okhu- the REMAINs Ẹbọ- sacrifice ( for Ogun) In Yoruba it will be You don't open the remains of Ogun's sacrifice Actually is the same but requires effort to translate But initially the words there have been corrupted but if one think hard u will decode it. An Average Yoruba man will not know That Aisiokhuebo is A Yoruba corrupted Benin name soundOsonic: |

No be only Ogun mention Sango too . I don't why Edo people always term everything as fabrication pls tell us which is fabricated?? Benin and Yoruba people connections run deep we don't have anything to gain or lose by saying Edo people are our brothers but “odo to ba gbagbe orisun re aparun” a river that neglect it origin will vanish you don't have to trying hard to deny your connections with Yoruba people Your Ekaladeran story being oduduwa is a 1980s fabricated story by late Omo'N'Oba Ereduawa it's all lies with has no base if u think that's the correct history you guys are deceiving yourself silverlinen: |
