Then He Should Return to Ile ife,Let a True Son of the Soil Be Chosen to be the Oba of Benin

u Igbos should rest

Oduduwa birthed Okanbi; Okanbi birthed Oranmiyan and others; Oranmiyan moved to Benin and Oyo.

Oduduwa had only one son called Okanbi, that gave birth to others, who spread to different places. No wonder Ife is at the centre!

hoeminique:
Have you seen this exposè that Oduduwa never existed?

You yoruba people like to twist things. Igodomigodo was never small. And the ruler of Igodomigodo was a ogiso( which means sky king or king of the sky). After elakardekan(not right spelling) left to Ife he called himself a sky king ogiso. that's why yoruba people said he's divine king sent by olodumare (not right spelling).

When his grandson was sent to Igodomigodo land, he changed the name to Edo.

You clearly don’t know the history well. I’m busy now to type is the problem.

This Oduduwa wey una dey call prince, did you know how old he was back then when he appeared in Yoruba land? He was even older than Ogiso or whatever..

A prince that’s older than una so called Ogiso? Was Ogiso even older than Oranmiyan?

We’ll have this convo later in large when I’m less busy..

If u wan test your jazz... Abeg jst near those shirtless guys wey dey close to d Oba

The Oba Don't Know What He Is Saying

really? I'm laughing in bini esoteric language hahaha.the Oba wise pass your ten generation put together.hes no liar you go learn hard too no worry.hehe

Elzazzi:
It's true. The current Benin monarchy comes from Oduduwa. But Benin people dey always argue am.

It is very easy to understand why the Bini people find it difficult to accept that reality. Ancestrally, the Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man through Oranmiyan, while the Bini people are not Yoruba. That is the point Reno Omokri made earlier on the subject. Yoruba and Bini are two different ethnic groups. While the Binis are the aboriginal owners of the land, the Oba of Benin is, historically, of Yoruba descent. The official language spoken at the palace of the Oba of Benin at the time of the arrival of the Portuguese was Yoruba. That is the truth.

zed7:
I didn't hear Oduduwa mentioned anywhere. This topic has been over flogged.

I actually heard Oduduwa mentioned right from the first second of the video.

Please rewatch the video.
Respect to Oba of Benin.

Your devious act typical of your tribe makes you to push cut video. Why didn't u upload the entire part where the Oba said that Oduduwa was Ekaladerhan the exiled Benin Prince son of Ogiso Owodo? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/12Fvz8N3eV2/

Our sources are different and besides you can as well upload the part you have.

One thing both people have in common is claiming lands and people that doesn't belong to them

At a point Yoruba people claimed anioma is a Yoruba land

I just tire, Benin don claim their own reach bonny

Whats wrong with this people

Una no dey tire

Goodnewsforlife:

Ekaladerhan is a fluke, a myth.

Him: I am a direct descendant of

Correct!

But because of pride, Bini people always bring the myth/fluke - Ekaladerhan - into the mix.

OredoPikin:
All these Yoruba people self
Pushing rubbish to front page
If u ĺike create 1million post on it each day
We know our history in Edo
Oranmiyan father oduduwa is a Benin prince that went to ile ife to rule. We are direct descendant of ogiso owodo
Ogiso owodo - oduduwa - oranmiyan - oba Eweka the first

Only Binis have the story of the myth/fluke called Ekaladerhan.

PulaPower:
True..

Right from Oba Eweka 1..

Benin ancestry is of Yoruba & Yoruba tradition..

Benin ancestry is not Yoruba, it's only the Oba's ancestry that comes from there. The mistake people make is to think that the King and the people share common ancestry. Some of these Kingship came about about by conquest and not necessarily by being indigenous.

NSNO:
Binis have always acknowledged this. The bone of contention is that Oduduwa was a Bini prince called Ekaladerhan (forgive my spelling).

True, but my brother just try and do an empirical research about the whole story with a non biased and open mind, and you'll realise that Ekaladerhan being Oduduwa is fallacious. Am a Bini man but the truth has to be told.

PulaPower:
Your bone of contention is wrong..

There was nothing like Bini before the first Oba of Benin who happens to be Oranmiyan’s son! It used to be called Igodomigodo, a very small remote village. So, how can Oduduwa be from somewhere that wasn’t in existence?

No talk that thing again
No talk am
Which igodomigodo be small remote village?
Go back and do more research on igodomigodo
Read more history

A whole kingdom na Wetin you Dey term as small remote village? An empire??

Abeg
No just talk that thing again

how old was oduduwa?

Paraman:
Benins are not descendant of Oduduwa

But your kings are

That's the important thing.

NSNO:

this is what they don't know, and don't want to accept, the history is that he is the son of a bini prince who was exiled to ile ife, a bini prince once ruled ile ife

DelilahMakinde:

That's the important thing.

he is he descendants of a bini prince who once ruled ile ife, not that he is a descendants of ile ife

DelilahMakinde:
But your kings are

That's the important thing.

I corrected your wrong statement. Thank me and move along

Procashtips:
If it makes you sleep at night

I guess, he also fell from the sky too shey?

The word Yoruba is even a recent word, there were no group known as the Yorubas until recent, all of them existed separately and kept waging tribal war against each other for years.

Egbas vs ijebus, ife vs modakeke, oyo vs ekiti etc.

They were never one people until of recent.


Infact all of them have different account of their origins.

Una go dey alright laslas

Craze dey worry una.

Shattuck:
he is he descendants of a bini prince who once ruled ile ife, not that he is a descendants of ile ife

Well you know more about his family tree than he does.... interesting.

BluntCrazeMan:
Ok..

So, Edo belongs to Lagos.??

What's the correlation between your comment and the topic?

it is not a myth, if you have an open mind you would see the truth, the bini mornachy is older than ile ife's monarchy, if ile ife never had a monarchy then how come they could give bini a monarchy, history never had it that bini an ife fought a war even if a war was fought the bini kingdom was larger and mightier than ife so ife could never had conquered the bini kingdom and take over the monarchy, also ife never had a direct line of succession the monarchy was being seized by coup plotters several people ruled ife even a servant once ruled ife, think about it, if ife never had a direct line of succession how can anyone believe they gave bini a king, the Truth still remains a bini prince once ruled ife and the oba is a direct descendant of that prince.
