No Yoruba names or prince here. That information you have is false.

People that gave Yoruba a history to save face.

If you know, you know

Christistruth00:


Even Ogiso Obagodo who was the first Ogiso who established the Ogiso dynasty was an Ife man with a Yoruba Name

Obagodo means the Oba of Igodo

Eweka is a Corruption of the Yoruba world Owomika which means I have mastered it

creativehubb:

Okay but you know there was an ogodomigodo dynasty before the ogiso right?

I respect yorubas my man, I know we have an affinity. God bless South South and south west, God bless Nigeria.

Christistruth00:


No it was Ogiso Obagodo and his followers who founded Igodo and established the Ogiso dynasty there


The first Igodomigodo was in the Ado Ekiti Area
It was the 3rd Ogiso that moved Igodo to the pressnt Benin Area because of War

That is why till today the Yoruba call Benin people the Ado

creativehubb:

Now you are capping, the progenitors of Edos and Yoruba people are totally different. We are close but we are different, the cultures and all are different. Like I said, I wouldn't take folklores so seriously, over time history is distorted to fit narratives. Peace.

Christistruth00:


The Ogiso dynasty and the present Oba Dynasty were of Ile Ife Origin
But majority of the people in their Kingdom were Aboriginal to the Local Area

The People of Ile Ife had a peculiar Kingship system which was exported to many outside areas through their nobles and Princes they united and organized many of the Autonomous Aboriginal people they met on ground into kingdoms that are still existing today

Lies...where is the source for this, I like to see it, an independent source. Anybody can say and write anything...But Edo and Yoruba were never one or intermixed like you claim, no sign or proof of this. You might know the history up to an extent, then you started spiting what your folks told you. No need to argue about this though, believe what you want, but I know the yorubas have nothing to do with our kingship and dynasty. The tradition and language is very different...if there had such early interactions, the yorubas culture and language would influence ours not vice versa, British influenced Nigeria because they lorded over us at a point, we speak English and have English names, the Cameroun people have french names etc. Edo people have several indegenous language and non sounds like Yoruba language, no Yoruba understand any of our language, our names are very different, symbols are different, arts very different.

The Benin Prince went to Ile'ife story is more feasible, because some streets of Lagos, like Idumagbo is Edo name, Osa means forest in Edo language (etiosa), the Oba of Benin used to have a shrine in a street I stayed in Lagos, and thirdly Benin emissaries use to collect toll somewhere around Lagos island. When the Erelu dosunmu was interviewed she said she was Benin, based on her ancestry(she knows the difference between the two, not same like you claim)...If they were so knitted as you claim, then you would have seen a lot of Edo people in Ile ife and Yoruba towns, but that is not the case then or now. There is no influence on language, culture, names. So what you are saying is lies. If you lord over people the influence will show. Empirical evidence, not folklores and stories. You only wish, buts it's in your widest imagination, because the difference is like black and white, no sign of such close ties, culturally and traditionally, even in the rites, spirituality, sounds. Think man. Edo people are warriors, conquerors.

Can you read this please, this woman knows the difference between Benin, Edo people, and Ile ife Yoruba...if ile'ife ruled over them like you said, she will know, this she will name ile'ife (if it is the parent kingdom), but she named Benin, Edo state.

Christistruth03:



The British researched and know the History very well too

There is no profit in lies

creativehubb:

This is Erelu Dosunmu she is a titled Lagos Yoruba chief, she has no reason to lie or hype any side.you got a distorted version, and you embellished it for your ego, but this woman enjoys the benevolence of being Yoruba and a titled Yoruba chief. I will believe what she says, being a custodian of culture and the Yoruba heritage, I will believe her than to believe the British colonial thieves, who stole our priceless Ivory works and artefacts.

We are here to learn and widen our horizons, open your mind. Not doing this to show off, just to enlighten.

Think about it, how can Aworis from ile'ife paid passage dues, if Ille' ife were the parent kingdom as you claim.

You are speaking fallacy.

The Awori Yorubas Own Lagos even till Today

The matter is so settled that there is nothing to drag

To their Credit I have never heard or seen the Oba Of Benin or anyone from his Palace dispute the Yoruba ownership of Lagos

Please supply any evidence you have of the Oba Of Benin or his Palace claiming that Lagos is not Yoruba

DMerciful:
We love the Edos. The Op is trying to clash Binis and Igbos and you're falling for it

The Igbos wanted to rule. Why they wanted to rule was that (Nnamdi) Azikiwe was the then Governor-General and more or less Head of State. The constitution did not give any power to Azikiwe. So, this annoyed the Igbo people and they used to say: “How can we run a constitution in which the Head of State cannot advise the government, the government cannot contact the Head of State for any advice?” So, the answer was well to take over since they were already leading and yet they had no control over the government. That was why the Igbo soldiers decided to organise a coup.

The civil war was straightforward. the Igbo wanted to take over the ruling of Nigeria . When all these cunny-cunny actions that people who were preventing them from organising a coup had not been killed, that is Gowon and I, the only thing left was to have a civil war. That was why there was a civil war and in the civil war, the first place Ojukwu attacked was the Mid-West. The Igbo tried to rule Nigeria by force, what they cannot do through the ballot box; they tried it through coup. They tried the coup, it failed and now decided to do a civil war. It was a contract. That is the basic thing.

It is also in Jacob Egherevba's book "A short History of Benin"

Jacob Egherevba was a Benin high Chief he too confirmed that it was from Ile Ife that the first Ogiso Obagodo came

spearman:


Benin people have condemned Egherevba for what he postulated in his book. They accused him of being heavily influenced by his Ado-Akure heritage. It is on record that shortly before he died he renounced the view point in his book following evidence provided him by Benin historians.

They so much this Lagos history
The thing make them special forgetting that the place is a trade route
The core yoruba hx is that of ice or oyo.
The first king is a yoruba prince oranmiyan no be so

After Jacob Egharevba wrote a Short History of Benin the Oba of Benin rewarded him by making him a high Chief
