Una wey Dahomey women dey raid for Oyo
😂😂😂😂😂

When exactly are you going to stop displaying your inability to think logically for all to see? While it's true that the Dahomey Amazons, women warriors, engaged in many battles with the Oyo (Yoruba) forces, have you asked yourself why some parts of Dahomey (Benin Republic) are considered Yoruba land today? Why were the Fon women warriors unable to drive the Yoruba people out of the land that the Oyo army conquered in Dahomey?

According to you, "Dahomey women dey raid for Oyo," but the same Dahomey came under Oyo rule! Read up, man! Today, Yoruba land extends from Nigeria to the Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, parts of Ivory Coast, etc. Do you think all those lands were free gifts? Our forefathers shed their blood—they fought battles and won. As a matter of fact, no ethnic group fought more wars than the Yoruba people in sub-Saharan Africa. It's a fact; check it out. Are you aware that, by tradition, Accra (the capital of Ghana) is considered an extension of Yoruba land? Do you know that the King of Accra is ancestrally a Yoruba man?

Do you now understand why Oyo State alone is almost the same size as the whole of Southeast? If you have any shame, you'll keep quiet when any Yoruba person is talking. History is not pleasant for you.

Yorubaland extends from Cameroun to Gambia

Yes, that's also true; Yorubas are not restricted to 5 plots of land, you know?Oyo state alone is the same size as the entire southeast. Ponder over that, boy.

Yorubas found in Togo and Benin Republic are the descendants of the slaves of the Dahomey female warriors

Haha you see you and your kind eh! May THE LORD have Mercy on you lot. We thought you said you knew your history & identity, is it this ? LMAO.
Well tbh no one cares and no one has the time to begin disputing about your history for it's adding nothing to no one else's progress, if you like paint, twist, expand, contract and substitute it, however you like to do with your history and identity is your funeral. Infact whatever you say about your own history and identity we agree with you, just stay in your lane and stop meddling in others'. QED!

Christlike01:
Lol! A Yoruba man has no identity? Isn't it funny that this is coming from someone of your background? I won't even stoop so low as to discuss history with you.

Well, if you must know, I'm a proud Yoruba man. I'm very proud of the rich culture and heritage our forefathers bequeathed to us as a people. They expanded their territory from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, and beyond. They fought many wars of conquest and never lost any! Here’s the question: what were your own progenitors doing while ours were accomplishing all these amazing feats? We all know what they were doing; it wasn't a pleasant story.

Trust me, man, you are not in any position to talk about identity, especially a befitting one. History is not kind to you; believe it.

Well I have replied you on this but each time I submit it your kins and kith, with tears in their eyes, scramble to wipe it off and at the same time placing me on intermittent ban, i also believe you will have read it also. This is to show how insecure and low-esteemed you all are. Even the truth shatters you lot. You can't even stand what you dish out to others. Be that as it may, stay away from people's affairs especially when it comes to their history and identity.

Oyo state is bigger than England and Israel.

Let us compare the history of England and Israel with yorubaland.

The igbos are the oldest ethnic group in Nigeria.

It has been proven by scientific means.
If you think I am lying, you can Google it.

The very meaning of Igbo means "ancient".

So in what universe are you expected to know the full history of a civilization that's much older than yours.?

It's like when a child wants to know the history of its father.

The fact that most of it was not written down does not make it non-existent.

The igbos are so ancient that it's difficult to even know when and how they began.

Boy, you're nothing but a butterfly wishing to be an eagle. Look who's talking about history! Do you even have any? You don't, boy! When others discuss their enviable histories, you remain silent. Trust me, you have a lot to thank those people you naively accused of silencing you; rather, they have been saving you from a potential mental illness. They have been preventing us from revealing the truth about your so-called "history." You, a nobody, feeling confident!

Better to be a 'nobody' who has an identity and is proud to assert it, than to be a 'somebody' who has no identity and is bitter when others assert theirs .

Only itzadorable333 dey tackle them. It's not easy.

See eh, we know those who knows their identity, those who are ancient and those who are successful.

If I begin to tell you how many countries Igbo are originally present it, you'll marvel.

When we present facts to you, you guys always respond with emotion—your usual trademark! Let's test the veracity of your emotion-laden statement: "lol Oyo state that's not even up to half a plot of land. Or is there any other Oyo?" Now, remove the emotion clouding your judgment and compare the landmass of Oyo State and the entire Southeast below:

Oyo State: 28,454 square kilometers.

Southeast: 29,388 square kilometers.

If you consider Oyo State as being "not even up to half a plot of land," then it’s only fair to say that the entire Southeast is not up to half a plot of land as well! It’s your logic, remember—the emotion-laden logic!

Grow up, boy!

Here you go again—emotion-laden gibberish as usual! I must tell you, the totally incomprehensible jargon you posted above had me rolling on the floor with laughter! It seems more like a convoluted joke than a coherent thought. Are you a comedian?

Claiming it’s better to be a “nobody” with an identity than a “somebody” without one feels like a paradox wrapped in a contradiction. Isn't the whole point of being a “somebody” to have a defined presence?

Perhaps next time, instead of attempting to sound profound, you could focus on clarity. After all, gibberish might make for an interesting conversation starter, but it hardly contributes to meaningful dialogue.

Grow up, boy!

itzadorable333:
lol why won't you be proud, a slave is always proud of the treatment the master metes out to him. A very proud nation indeed who bear the name forced upon them by their conquerors LMAO...let's not even talk about their other conquerors to their East. Online Expansionist Storyteller but bearing a forced-upon name and identity ROFL

A slave? Hmmmm... Boy, easy with the words you're throwing around carelessly! Trust me, if I were to engage you on that topic alone, provided we were permitted to remove all the gloves from our hands, I guarantee you would deactivate your account here. I mean it. You see, someone of your background shouldn't use that word—slave—as a slur against anyone outside your tribe. Believe me, there are plenty of receipts. You're not in the position to refer to anyone as a slave.

Let me educate you a little. Are you aware that even before the European slave merchants physically landed on the geographical entity now called Nigeria, a certain tribe across River Niger was enslaved by virtually all its neighbors—the Itshekiris, the Binis, the Ijaws, the Ibibios (Aros), the Igalas, etc.? Wouldn't you consider it ironic if today someone from that tribe were quick to label everyone as 'slave'?

Now, add this to your education: the Yorubas fought wars more than any other ethnic group in Africa, and they never lost any! Our forefathers waged brutal wars; they paid the price of peace for us, their descendants. This is why a typical Yoruba person values peace, but those who take this quality of ours for granted always find out. We don't chest-beat; we always deliver when the occasion calls for it. The records are all there; you just need to read up.

Grow up, boy.

The majority of the wars you guys fought were intra-ethnic wars.
That doesn't count.

You lost against the British, you lost against the women from Dahomey, you lost against the fulani.

LMAO our people normally say "Man's wish is not THE LORD'S wish" . You really wish you were right about that "certain tribe", you really wish you knew their history (which of course you can't because you are a stranger), in fact you really wish you knew your own history and identity before someone 'stooped so low' to enlighten you.
You really wish, but you know what they say about wishes right? So either a certain man keeps wishing or he goes to his elders and learn their own 'history' and lost identity.
A certain man is not your elder nor your kin, neither will he teach you the history of his people, you don't need it. Learn yours first.

I believe you were extremely focusing on clarity when you called me & my people "nobodies", right? I believe you were being reasonable when you made those rants against my people, right?
Well after ROFL, get up and read again; "Better to be a 'nobody' who has an identity and is proud to assert it, than to be a 'somebody' who has no identity and is bitter when others assert theirs." Then you can go back to ROFL, as that's what you are meant to do.

Even this Oyo data needs to be recalculated to determine what's left after your conquering masters from the north have taken over a chunk off.
