Dear Prince,
I apologize for late entry on my response.

I do not in any way diminish Yoruba ancestors at all. My submission in that post was very brief and to the point as pertains to this headgear and color itself.

Red is universal color, in fact all colors are universal. In Yoruba alchemy colors are used to treat ailments by restoring balance to temper and mood. Colors are also used to communicate with divinities.

Certain traditions and cultures of old were known significantly by colors and till today that knowledge pesrsists.

Yoruba is a foreign conqueror and civilization. Its abode is Ife, but it met people in Ife. The name Ile-Ife, the term Oba, the conical Crown, the deities, Yoruba language, and many more customs were implants in the land now known as Ife.

Something caused Yoruba to depart Afro-Asia but something even very significant caused Yoruba to aim for settlement in the land it renamed Ife. It was not an accident. Amongst those with whom Yoruba settled were Bariba and Yauri. The two left and Yoruba remained in the land.

The preoccupiers of that land were the Noks. They were significant for some things, primary among which is color red. They were already a civilized people. Their civilization was super imposed by the much more civilized and nobler Yoruba.

In the same way red features as a color of significance for Nok, blue and white featured significantly for Yoruba.

After their settlement Yoruba instituted the nok culture into its expansion strategy. Red became insignia of Ife authority and dynasty. When uncivilized wild roaming natives needed to be organized, a chief of Ife is sent to order the society and rule it. This is how Ogisos appointed from Ife ended up establishing the red culture in Edo.

Lol.....fables just hear yourself a tribe that started documentation just around late 19century wants to date the origin of edo that has documented thier history since 14c ....i explained before red was never a general colour in west Africa or africa as a whole it was only synonymous to the edos this is one of the reasons the Portuguese sailors located benin as they sailed along the river they saw a town built on red soil , the lands were describe by sailors as a land of blood, the benin flag was made of red fabrics, the Portuguese saw the uniqueness of red in benin they gave the oba red coral beads ...white was not cherished like red even if it existed.the benin sand ia still very red today because it a rain forest zone over occurrence of leaching ....so dont come here and say ife ....like you aint educated to think beyond the box....the yorubas used brown beads white and red was not thier colour until the early 19c

God started with one man, multiplying to so many nations, all competing for numero uno. Every man wants to be number one, likewise every tribe, etc. Let common sense prevail pls. No fighting. We are one.

Olu317:


Are you for real Oviedo Well, the same way Yoruba brought the term, ‘ogbo àtọ' to your land which Igodomgodo changed to, ‘ugha tor, which is specifically to bow to a Yoruba Prince king in Biniland(land of anger). Interestingly, it is a Yoruba word for initiates and generally use by elders when nee be.

I wonder when this attitude of you people will accept the truth because the same Bini kingdom and people that have been copying and learning Yoruba ‘initiates' language since 11th century Yoruba landed in Edoland .....

PrinceOgun:
Benin created thrones in yorubaland , that one you posted is one of them , I never knew the Benin Empire reached kwara, I know the empire had dominion over ondo and ekiti but ........kwara wow

UGBE634:
Olu you are pathetic, I wonder what you look like in real life, any Edo who sees that will know you are a misguided misfit.

What is helping you is that Bini is not a majority group where the influence of the language spreads to other non native speakers, such that they can understand the language and burst your lies. Illiterate you would not know that there are similar sounding words in every tribe that means different things and sometimes mean the same thing but are indigenous to those tribes.

Ogbo ato is forever not similar to Ugha tor(let me leave baba Macof to play the game of diacritic for you) . Ugha as a word is used outside "tor", you can say "Ugha yo do a" will you go there?, "Ugha kpee a" will you stay long?

It can also be used for affirmative sentences outside "tor" it is an all encompassing word and it is used everyday for prayers and all, it is a prima Edo word. which means "you will", in pidgin "you go". an Edo man praying for his son who just married can say "Ugha mion omo bie" perfect literal translation would be "you go see pikin born" "Ugha bowa o"-you will build a house.

You carefully forge your lies around minority groups because you know it might get unnoticed for long. Olu indeed you are pathetic

macof:


Essentially

Ugha is "Ìwọ (a)" in Yorùbá

These are two cognates and the evolution from a common etymon is obvious when one realises that /w/ is rendered as /gh/ and /i/ to /u/ in Eastern yorubaland going eastwards into Edoid territories
It is all a dialect continuum

UGBE634:
And how does " Ogbo"relates to that? This is true and it is because they are related languages (yoruba, Edo, Igbo and all)that is different from Olu's argument

macof:
it does not. I was saying you are correct
