oloyede252:
now that you have sense.did the ooni mentiond yoruba kingdom or odudwa in his statement..a creationist wil have no problem believing that as xians believe world was creatd in 7days

martineinstein:
dats my nigga pix there.

YoruBadGoon:


We don't need their land - bini land isn't worth anything even if you were to attach valuable items to it.

But the crown and royalty belong to Yorubas. We also own their orishas and their artworks came from us. Heck, a lot of the clothes they wear also came from us. We just need to remind them from time to time where they stand and who owns the crown on their Oba's head. No one needs their land.

Chibuzoc:

Are u saying that oduduwa is an ape?? I don de fear o

Jesusloveyou:
and d crown is far valuable than Ooni and alaafin crown put together

I am angry at you for your ignorance and stiffness to this issue but then what did I expect you Benin dudes are known for your stiffness.
by the way you are gorgeous and I will take a bow out of this argument by following you.

Jesusloveyou:

OBAGADAFFI:
The Edo people don't seem to know their history.

Who changed it to Benin

Ogisos was the title before is was changed to Oba.
Who changed the king title to Oba.

“The Ooni of Ife, by historical facts, is a son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not in the same class".

How can the guy from benin be contradicting himself by saying the Ooni of Ife was a son of the Oba of Benin and at the same time saying that the Oba of Benin stool has no relationship with the Yoruba race. I don't get it.

oloyede252:
oh God.too much dense people on this thread..lemme ask you a simple question.was there anything like benin kingdom before the coming of oduduwa to edo land?if you're intelligent you will agree wiht the ooni.but you are too dull to understand.

pulsa:

where are you from, and am also not Benin am Yoruba pulsa is my nick name.

ritababe:


and who is the ooni of ife that sent his son?

brownlord:


And if there is another version that says the world was created in 20 years, which will you believe?

How do you believe, Ododuwa fell from the sky over a prince was banished from a close region and could have wandered into the forest and Yoruba seeing a strange man who don't speak their language and Thought he fell from sky?

Is it also true that oduduwa fell from heaven with soil that's now spread across the face of the earth?

Lstar4real:
u want hear abi? Oduduwa is a yoruba forefather and gave birth to sixteen children..all the children are powerful and great hunter... it was oranmiyan d last born of oduduwa that did hunting to Benin and took over Benin ...Their father oduduwa hailed from Oyo empire and The most powerful Man.... his son's took over many place including Dahomey in Republic of Benin....its Oranmiyan that took over benin. .He married and gave birth to many children before he left Benin in annoyance"then oranmiyan returned home from benin .... because Benin people don't want him to be forgetten That's why he sent one of his son....Eweka ...to be the first King of Benin while Oranmiyan took over Ife after Oduduwa death.....let's call it short...hope u understand....always get your fact right.....

I'd like to know the name of this story book

AlPeter:
that does not prove anything. The Benin Kingdom had been in existence long before the Oyo kingdom, that is an historical truth. They were ruled by KINGS CALLED THE 'SKY KING'. Oduduwa according to the Benins was a prince who ran away from Benin and later settled at IFE. Imagine the people asking him who he is and him telling them he is A SKY KING then you'll understand the story behind him coming from the sky. The Benin Kingdom controlled most of West Africa then and his regarded as the first true Monarchy in the region

we are not here to discuss the epistomology of the yorubas.bt to assert the statement of the ooni.was he right or wrong.

YoruBadGoon:


Lol.

How can the crown of Oranmiyan's son be more valuable than the crown of the one who sired him? How can the crown of a small overrated kingdom known only for artworks be more valuable than the crown of an empire that conquered far and wide from the rain forest to the savanna? Or an Ife that bestowed the orishas the Oba of Bini bows down to, to him?

Don't ever put Bini and either Oyo or Ife in the same sentence. Else I shall evoke the ghost of Ogedengbe to conquer what's left of the relics of the small bini kingdom and steal all the artworks it's known for like the colonial brits did.

You must be high on cow dung laced with Bini skunk.

YoruBadGoon:
These Bini folks are starting to irk. We need to teach them the history of their overrated kingdom that thrived on fables and jejune tales. Bini kingdom's might thrived on outright lies - the only great thing it achieved came from those great artworks. And the knowledge of those artworks came from Owo and Ife.

Bini kingdom NEVER even conquered any relevant kingdom. You never conquered Igala kingdom, all the skirmishes had no victor or vanquished. You NEVER conquered Owo, it was a stalemate. You were scared of Dahomey and never went to war with the kingdom. You NEVER conquered Ijebu. You NEVER conquered Nupe. And to your east, you didn't even trouble the Igbos and Ijaws. Itsekiris sold you as slaves. Your only achievement outside ya small Bini fortress with a moat, was art and craft. Heck, Ogedengbe the Ijesha warrior, almost took the war to ya land and you had to placate him with a gift. Apart from building a tiny camp in tiny Eko, on Aworiland, with the help of the Ilajes - what else was the achievement of Bini kingdom?

Bini kingdom wasn't an empire - it was a kingdom populated by Edoid groups. Oyo on the other hand was an empire cos it had non-Yoruboid groups, from Bariba, to Fon etc.. Don't ever compare ya small kingdom that's only known for artworks birthed by Ife and Owo to anything Yoruba. You worship Yoruba orishas. Your kingship is Yoruba. And even in your Oba's palace, Yoruba used to be the language used for everything - yet you have this nauseating way of getting ahead of yourselves like you're actually better than what you're. Stop it. I still don't know how a small landlocked kingdom started worshipping Olokun. Who gave you Olokun, the most revered god in Biniland - if not Ijebus and Ilajes - Yoruba subgroups?

Fall back - the Ooni has spoken. Bini's throne came from Yorubas and you're the little brother. Stop punching above ya height cos of artworks.

folks4luv:


of cos it proves a whole lot. I talked about something that is not in a book which lacks basis or evidence but something that is a present day reality. I can sit n develop a theory of a water queen, just need to b convincing. so I expect d question I raised which is a fact to b countered with fact not mere myth.
