bllaster: What does Izoduwa and Oduduwa hav in common? NOTHING. From Ekaladerhan to Izoduwa to Imadoduwa. Which one are they actually talking about. The dubious claim is just too obvious. By next week they will even turn it to Oduduwa fully. Look for your banished prince in the lost city of Atlantis. 5 Likes |

bllaster:What's this one saying? How many times do you brain-dead have to be told that our Oduduwa has a father, Lamurudu? Does Lamurudu looks like you accursed bini name or your bastard prince's father? Better don't let me use Sango swear for you! Lamurudu and Oduduwa we know, Ekharledan we know not other him being a lost bini badstard! The real fact are the bini' kings' head lying fallow in Ife! 2 Likes |

OBAGADAFFI: Oranmiyan was son of Benin Prince Ekaladerhan who became Ododuwa. Oduduwa did not magic from Any Arabia (not even China or Vietnam ). He came from much closer: Benin or Igodomigodo as it was called then. 1 Like |

AreaFada2:How does your stupid Ekaladerhan became Oduduwa? What's stopping you Bini revisionist from backing up such claim with facts! Atleast our odu ifa infer that Lamurudu was Odudu'wa's father!

OBAGADAFFI: Well, in Benin history his name was Omonoyan. Means beloved or pampered child. Very common name in times old. Can you tell me how popular or unique the name "Oranmiyan" was around middle of 12th Ife and what did the name mean then? We learn daily. If you read my previous posts here on NL, I have mentioned Omonoyan before. In any case, even if he decided to name him a Yoruba name, it could just be political. To strengthen claim to Ife Royalty. Remember that Oranmiyan's mother wasn't a Benin Woman. Possibly one of the elite-born ladies of Ife. For example, in Benin, Oranmiyan married a princess, the daughter of the Enogie/Duke of Egor. Egor today is a local govt area in Benin City and the Duke of Egor is still very much a senior duke of Benin Kingdom. Benin Dukes, with exception of VERY VERY few ancient ones, are all princes and descendants of princes of Benin Kingdom. I write long essays here for the benefit of those who don't know the rich & detailed history of Benin. |

diadem10: Lol. I have explained that here on NL over many years. Even in my previous few posts yesterday & today. If you genuinely want a civilised debate & for comparison, see my previous posts. If you prefer to wallow in ignorance, cursing & swearing, don't bother. I see a very poorly informed person and ill-mannerism in your angry outburst. Making a valid point is not by behaving like motor park agbero. |

OBAGADAFFI: Oba Erediauwa did a nationwide thank-you tour after coronation. NATIONWIDE, up to Sokoto! We also have pics of him in my uncle's palace, the Duke of my town. Having said that, Benin Royal family & every one with even a drop of royal blood hold Ife (called Uhe in Benin) in very very high esteem. The reason is simple. Ife gave refuge to the Benin prince, Ekaladerhan, who became Ododuwa. Otherwise, the Ogiso dynasty that began in about 40BC would have been lost. With the kindness & generosity of Ife people, Benin has a royal family stretching back to 40BC, the same year the Roman senate appointed Herod as king of Judaea! The only major break was between 1100 AD & 1169 AD. The current dynasty began in 1169 AD. |

AreaFada2: What is the correlation between your Ekaladerhan that followed a mermaid to the lost city of Atlantis and Oduduwa. Which one are you guys even talking about. From Ekaladerhan, you twisted it to Izoduwa. Not satisfied with your own naming process, you re-engineered it to Imadoduwa. In the meantime, go to your Oba's palace and ask him what the festival of Ugie Erha Oba connotes in your Oba's history. Also ask him the gifts that the Chiefs always presented to him during the Igue festival, where do they tell him it came from? Look for your lost Ekaladerhan somewhere else. We are initiating that Bini people are not yorubas, but the throne, crown, title and current dynasty is of Yoruba lineage and that is an undeniable fact. it has been proven all over the world that the Ife Brass work predates that of Benin. That is another undeniable facy. 2 Likes |

Super1Star: Read my previous posts dude. How the name Izoduwa, interchangeable with Imadoduwa came about. Very consistent from earliest times. Benin has been pretty centralised from a very long time and history of that single monarchy very consistent. No rival ruling houses in Benin trying to create stories to try bolster their entitlement/claim. Even today, nothing like court cases involving succession as it litters some tribes in 9ja. Or where obas are deposed by court or government arbitrarily. Makes Benin pretty unique for consistency. Benin never claim to be first to do brass work. But whenever Benin started, it was done to the highest level possible anywhere in the world then. Or is there anywhere that is claimed? Please show me. Metal works began in Africa thousands of years ago. Has been done in many places. Benin people don't wake up one morning to make any claims. They usually respond to very amateur, ridiculous and futile attempts by egotistic tribalists to rewrite history. There are some who find it hard to swallow the fact that in each talk about African civilisation, Benin is always one of the first to be mentioned. And when foreign documentary makers like BBC narrate African History, a prominent place is given to Benin Empire. Try as they may to detract, history is there for discerning minds. Benin people are pretty comfortable in their own skin. All the issues Nigeria has today and the little role for minorities was a major reason Benin resisted Britain to keep its empire. When that failed, Benin realised the disaster and historical setback it will be. So no surprise that all kind of people want to rewrite history now, even backwater vassals of yore. 1 Like |

AreaFada2: We never said Benin people are Yorubas. They are not are they will never be. The fact remains the Benin throne,crown and title are all Yorubas. No controversy. Read up on the reason Ugie Erha festival came to be. Read up on your Igue festival and where gifts to the Oba are always claimed to have come from. Read up on the deities Oranmiyan brought to Ile-Ibinu. You have to do better than your guess work of Izoduwa or Imadoduwa or Ekaladerhan or whatever name you guys chose to call him, wandered to. Mind you, the Palace of Ooni WAS NEVER desecrated by ANYBODY. 1 Like |

Super1Star: Fact is Benin gave Ododuwa to Ife. So whatever returned from Ife was originally BENIN. My own analysis from Benin history is guess work while your own spurious claims are gospel truth, right? Obviously you were the midwife who attended to Ododuwa's mother in labour, and you should know the truth authoritatively. Dude, no ogboju tactics will work here. You have your history, Benin have theirs and will remain so till the end of time. |
Re: Photo Of Senior Yoruba Obas In 1937 by Super1Star: 5:29pm On Feb 13, 2016 |
AreaFada2: You are well entitled to your opinion. A fact remains a fact and they are: 1. Oranmiyan is the father of Eweka 2. Oranmiyan named benin 3. Eweka's dynasty throne crown and title still stands till today. Those are facts that are not disputable anywhere we are very OK with that. It gives legitimacy to our claim of the crown. Claim of wandering prince cannot be substantiated. Did he wandered to the east or to the west or north or into the sea? Show us historicals that backs your claim. 2 Likes |
