I'm sorry. Anyone can claim to be classmates of Oba Akenzua's kids.

That is no proof anything.

What proof do you need? I am not making any claims, but listing facts.

It really doesn't matter to me one way or another, if you believe me or not. I know the truth. And so does he, as well as every other classmate that attended the same school. Unfortunately, he and I lost touch a long time ago, so I cannot divulge any further personal information online without his approval.

I'm not going to ask him anything cos it just ain't worth it. You guys are full of lies and would shift the goal post if I oblige you in anyway, just as your questions have been answered but none of you have answered a simple question directed at you. The Etsako man knows what he talks about every time, and saying some villages speak Yoruba must be true.

The rest of your post is just to defend yourselves, which isn't cutting in, if a non-partisan panel were to examine both of our theories, mine is more believable.

you are the big liar here who claim Etsako towns speak yoruba, you should be ashamed of yourself. Etsako is a laguage like ibo, all etsako towns speak etsako no on speak yoruba.

Even the Oba of Lagos has said it that he is a descendant of a bini prince but you are d dumb person who comes online and says Lagos was not a bini colony.

Anyone suffering from inferiority complex can write anything, and I don't read garbage. Your only saving grace is that Yoruba took this long to take you guys seriously after taking for jokes for so long.

Bini never conquered any town, if there was anyone, it was Yoruba that conquered Bini, and you can see that today.

hahaha, who now has inferiority complex, ofcuz u do. Oba Akiolu says his ancestors are from bini and yet you claim bini didn't conquer anyone. Yoruba never entered bini instead binis controlled large parts of what is now called yoruba land and collected tributes and tax from them. Bini never paid tributes to a yoruba king.

Abeg as a bini man having studied culture of bini people I can boldly say the following

Igbo race, republic of Benin, yoruba were all under the control of the Bini empire, although yorubas were considered as allies, as at the 14the century d bini empire fell after a strong war against the British government after which the binis surrendered after heavy duty massacre and a peace treaty was put in place Dats why u see bini as small these days.

Bini as a language was never spread reason being that it's hard to learn plus intonation isn't easily copied and most especially was used to identify true binis.

if u doubt Google onitsha market origin and d meaning of Eko

You are suffering from inferiority complex and you will forever do.

Use your head girl, only the conquered adopt from their conqueror just like Yoruba is written all over Bini culture, but no single thing about Bini in Yoruba culture, so Bini was a branch of Yoruba.

Oba Akiolu couldn't have said that cos his name and culture is Yoruba. nothing about him suggest otherwise. Even if he says that it still has NOTHING too do with the present day Bini, it could only have been the same as Itsekiri who claim to be from Bini but speak Yoruba dialect, and not Bini, meaning the inhabitants spoke Yoruba.

The bottom line is that the ancient Bini have nothing to do with you, they were more of Yoruba than any other.

I never said that and you DUMBO aren't going to put word in my mouth.

What I said is that, an Etsako man told me that there are Yoruba speaking villages around him. And if this man told me just as I said it, from now on, you will be called a liar for every truth you say by young, old, men and women until the end of your life. You foools don't know that not everyone tells lies.

It's still the same low self-esteem that's making you take whatever the Oba might have said out of context just like Awujale who said Ijebu aren't Yoruba, only Yoruba understand what he said.

Open your eyes and look around you, there's nothing to show that your Bini, I mean the Bini of your dreams was ever more than an Urban Legend and a myth. It never happened.

Armaggedon:
Nnamdi kalu has realy invaded lagos with the truth.
The academia in yoruba has for long shielded the origin of oduduwa away from academic discourse. They rather emphasize the some tales by moonlight and choose to invade anioma and ikwerre theads claiming SS.
As for lagos, we know the name a city answers goes a long way in explaining the ownership. The question is why has lagos no yoruba name?
The name lagos was given by portuguese while the original name eko is benin word. Even oba of lagos is a british creation.

The original name of port harcourt is igweocha which means white cliff/hill in igbo language.

What is the name of lagos in yoruba?

You know these yoruba folks are very funny to say the least, just a simple question and they are bringing up a myth about oduduwa like are these guys for real? In 2015 some pple who even claim to be very learned still believe in a dude who fell 4rm d sky to complete some mission and landed in ile ife. Seriously? Cmon mehn u guys can't be 4 real

hahaha,

ignorance is a disease. If you do not wish to learn then I'll leave you with your ignorance.

I am not a girl! I am a man.


Since you are claiming that the present day binis are not the real ones, are you aware the current Oba of Lagos wrote a letter to the current Oba of bini and told him "I am your humble servant...", while reminding him that his ancestors was sent by a previous Oba of bini to rule.

The fact you do not know these little details make your ignorance pitifful.

i didn't take anything off context go make your own research.

people like Oba Akiolu remind me it is not an urban myth, all the records of the europeans who visited in the 16th century remind me it is not a myth, the oral traditions of the Esan, itsekiri...people, even d lagos people who were part of the bini empire remind me it is not a myth.

Yes! It is true. Even though our own Oduduwa didn't fall from the sky, but people can fall from the sky as modern interaction between earthmen and those from other planets have authenticated, and this can be displayed both in mythology and in real hardcore science in many parts of the world. The stories of Ezekiel in the bible, the story of the Dogon mystic tribe of Mali are cases in point.

Still firmly on my point.
Only you know who you are talking to. What people in Lagos would tell you is that Bini is an extension of Yorubaland. Our son ruled over you, and you adopted a lot of things from us.

Bini empire was a myth, it never happened.

You can be half man, what do I care?

If you like show letters that were written by Jesus, it won't change anything. You will continue to be beneath Yoruba and live under our shadows. Look around you, what do you see? Your boss in every aspect, your better and superior, the one that opened your eyes and brought civilization to you, the larger than life.

Once big is forever big, and once fake is forever fake.

Empires fall, but remnants are seen, what do you have to show for whatever it was you had? Nothing cos it was an Urban legend.
