Benin the lost race from ile ife

From the little history I studied in school before history was scrapped from the curriculum, Edo belong to the bini's AND NOT IJAWS they should go back to bayelsa or the creeks or where ever the HELL they came from.

Its a pity the ijaw people has turn to the black sheep of the country. Less you forget. Go and ask Jessi people what happened after trying to struggle land with the oba. Be wise. a word is enough for the wise

AceRoyal:
Ijaws like trouble, they have forgetten that the Benins and other tribes in Edo state are also War tribes.
In this case, there is no contest, you cannot be a visitor in another man's house and want to claim Lord over his property.
I hope this is peacefully resolved!

And because they are war tribes they may wage war against the ijaws in their own land ?

See them.. Oversabi Nairalanders. Instead of commenting on the issue brought forward dey are derailing in the name of history? Fighting for ur little village dat is like a dot in d world map.. I pray dis doesn't escalate into a full blown tribal war cos innocent souls will be lost. Why can't we be like western countries?why can't everyone just be Nigerians nd lets forget about all this ethnic supremacy

nengibo:

You can't just disagree with fact, it doesn't work that way, bini mean water in Ijaw language

my dear you know nothing. All these are nothing but fallacy

Pvibe007:

So every water front must be an Ijaw land?

No the water should be in your room!

The ijaws should not make us go back to our ways of old. We are one of the most peaceful tribes in this country and if you come to Benin you will notice that it is a city where almost every other tribe has come to settle down. I was born in delta state, i have Uhrobo blood in me...my whole family grew up in delta state and we know how to crace if e wn start but violence is not good. Imagine me when dy go church go come go dy mark my body with agbasimama and ogun'oba and afiagbighidi just because i wn fight....abeg make dem no let us enter shrine again....e no go good oooooo
Lahor....e no go good if we begin dance ekaba for their head ooo....e no go good if we start isiokwo because of them because them dy carry egbesu dy dance....abeg....make we all for Niger delta learn to live as one.....Ha Izon!!!





Oba gha to kpere ise....




Funny enough my room mate for Benin na ijaw guy....

Elose11:
My friend, you started well until you began delving into your so called Benin folklore you know next to nothing about. That so called folklore is as told by the Ijaw.
Benin never migrated from Ife. The Benin folklore says that their ancestors originated from the sky. Therefore, the Benin king then was known as Ogiso, meaning king of the sky.
Ife came in when the kingdom started having internal strives.Since they could not agree on a king among themselves, they then send to their prince who had earlier fled to Ife to escape been killed to come and rule over them.
It was this Benin prince who had become a ruler in ife and is now called oduduwa, that sent his son to rule Benin.
As you can see, my friend, there is no where in Benin folklore where it was said that the Benins migrated from Ife. It was only a Benin prince who had now become the ruler of ife, that sent his son, oranmiyan, to rule Benin in his stead. And only when the Benins requested him to come over and rule over them

Thank you my brother from rescuing him from the ocean of ignorance.
People go just dey jump enter wetin them know nothing about

It's either you're lying or many people are crazy... Why is it that many places conflicts take place, it's Ijaw that are clearly seen in such places. Tell me something we don't know, it's either ijaw is attracted by trouble, or trouble attracts ijaw

From history there was no ogiso as king but ogisos as warriors cum judges...i stand to be clarified on this if you have a contrary view

KingOvoramwen1:



This ijaws need to taught a lesson.... They will cry tears over this soon

If it crosses that line it spells doom, the entire SS belt will be affected. We must avoid conflict at all cost, the Ijaw and the Benins are two mighty nations, we can't afford both sides to be at war at any cost

maybe u are mistaking me for an izon man....i aint one...am an owiesan...and i am an Edo boy. The ijaws are lovely people its just the illiteracy rate in most of their communities is high and they just feel the violent taketh it by force so they like applying that same technique most places but if you live in south south u will know dat nobody has monopoly of violence. We have seen bloody confrontation with the Ebira people of border issues....Okene fight was just a small one and a community fight.....The ijaws are only attempting something very risky because Edo state is the only state the Edo speaking people have and we are not like the ijaws who are found in other states apart from bayelsa so what we are telling them the ijaws is that you can live with us in peace but you cant take an inch of our land because Edo is all we gat....nothing else.

Lol, even the water I am about to make my Tea with is from ijaw land

The purported history of the ijaws is a very ridiculous nonsense, laughable indeed. So it's now a crime for the binis to be accommodative, see the fabricated nonsense history. Una go fit rewrite person destiny sha
No need to form e-warrior here anyways, person nor need make too much noise. na rule una wan rule abi, make una con dey rule make the binis dey look naa
Like someone highlighted, nor be today binis start dey fight war since una wan drag their own wey dem still dey manage with them.

I won't be surprised when I hear jerusalem was coined from ijaw lang and the land is theirs also, una funny sha, this thread's suppose to be in the joke section

I agree. Which is why i'm an advocate for peace, when the SouthSouth is concerned everyone of us are demons ! That one i no go lie.I'm a very cool and lovely man, but under war, i put on my battle uniforms, the ijaws will trigger a regional crisis if this isn;t nipped in the bud, i remember the crisis of recent memories, Ijaw and Ilaje, Itsekiri and Ijaw, this one won't be compared cause the Benin people are also a mighty people. It's time for all parties to send delegates to the FG, what is the governor waiting for? A full blown crisis before he acts? We should speak up, callradio stations, air our views and do all we can to make sure our voices are heared

The problem with the ijaw is that they think they can make everybody cowtow to their demands.
They don't even take time to know and understand their would be ennemies and they just start the trouble.
These people in their foolishness thought that the Oba of Benin meant "Oba of Benin City", when they saw the Monarchs of Edo north and south coming in support of Omo n'Oba n'Edo, they didn't understand, they still don't understand that those monarchs are subjects of the Oba of Benin.
Learn this ijaw: Omo n'Oba n'Edo. Francly, I would be in support of just chasing the ijaws away from gelegele and capturing that guy whom they "crowned", beating the hell out of him and making him walk 50 kilometres naked in front of tv crews and their cameras.

The Ijaw attitude needs to be fixed in the SS. We are tired of hearing Ijaw at the centre of almost every SS problems. What is it? Have they forgotten we are all descendants of warriors? If Ijaw disturbs the SS too much, then other clans should rise up call a meeting and discuss with their elders before blood is spilled. I'm tired of hearing Ijaw every now and then at the centre of every crisis.

LOL @ Benin..they are our backbitting brothers. They are busy laying claims to Lagos, and someone else is claiming their backyard.

You will soon loose Benin to Ijaws.

You always join Igbos to attack us.

Yes Benin is no man land.

I am Yoruba, I believe we share ancestral heritage with Benin. But Benin always backbite

GoldCircle:
Rubbish talk! So according to your write up, Ijaw people gave Benin people land to settle when they returned from ile ife? You are obviously very drunk! You want to twist facts and rewrite history abi?

May Agbala shave Your beards!

you called a beautiful write up with facts rubbish? its really obvious, we don't have to argue much.

I swear the beating would be of heavenly proportions

proudlyYoruba:
For the word 'bini'. I disagree

bini means Water in Ijaw language. we even have bini pere(king)

historyworld030:
Ijaw, you guys need to stop your fabrications, and get more educated. Edo history is too well documented. And contrary to what you think, the Oba of Benin is not just the Oba of Benin City. His real title is Omo n'Oba n'Edo. He is the King of the Benin Kingdom. Benin City is only the capital of the Benin Kingdom, not the Kingdom itself ! Edo state is a small part of the Kingdom and you ijaw are trying to crown a "king" in a part of an already established kingdom. I hope you people can understand this and stop your madness ! When you migrate into an area, try and learn the history of the land. Don't just start making claims of "we were here first" and don't start "crowning" your "son" in a foreign land, you might get slaughtered by the owners of the land. This is an advise and a warning!

Advice n warning to who no need am.

What's the population of the Benin people compared to the Ijaws? Hope u know war some times its a numbers game? Make una no start wetin una no fit finish.

Desyner:
Ijaws will go to Lagos to bomb it as a way of spiting Lagosians. Same Ijaws are in the middle of Warri. Ijaws are proving to be the herdsmen of the south.

Ijaws are the blessing of Nigeria. shut up.

God forbid, it will affect all of us all. Remember, we are all offsprings of war, and carry the war spirits of our fore fathers deep within us. Peace is the way
