Has Edo answered on the questions of foreign influence in their monarchy...or are they still trying to find Ekalderhan the lost Idogomigodo legend? grin grin

Are you kidding? Below is one of Ooni's art ,who wore beads like a proper exposed/civilised superior King. I am sure you have nothing close to it. A handsome Ooni to behold . A classic Art that's not comparable to Edo's learner alike. Yoruba ni Ba yín( Yoruba is your father).

The europeans had more praise for ife sculptures than any other work from african kingdoms. It was classical and realistic. Ife art seem to be more dated than all the others in the south, apart from igbo-ukwu

my guy shut ur ass up. Art was dug up from edo it belongs to edo. Art was dug up from ife with the same crown the Ooni still wears today and it is “possibly made by previous inhabitants” nonsense what previous inhabitants just coz the realism is better than ur edo own. Watch the video and see how the British themselves are blowing the horn of the realism themselves. I won’t be surprised if u say the people in the video are Yoruba or they have collide with yoruba. Shameless guy
Don't mind those edo revisionists

Urhobo is more relevant than Benin today, in Nigeria

And those guys used to be under Benin

Benin people live in a nostalgic past which they can never re-create

While other cultures keep growing and surpassing them

You can imagine some tiny minority group....it took the Igbo less than 24 hours to over run them ...they should always pray for one Nigeria ..because if this country divides ...Benin city would be war booty

They don't know that they are in middle of two big tribes which can annex them easily...the Igbo and Yoruba then another relatively big tribe the Ijaw


You can imagine the tiny Benin with their tiny oba disturbing everywhere ....he doesnt even rule the Igbo speaking part of Edo (igbanke) or the Yoruba speaking part of the Edo (Akoko)

Tiny Benin
Foolish ibos ....i guess if it was pop i guess British wont have colonized the igbos oga....inform edo for ibo& edo war ...not d one you cum and shoot unarmed cilvilans....i guess it took less than hours for ogbemudia to drive dat useless ojukwu with his incomplete teeth of his out of edo....forgod sake it wasnt edo u conqured u fought d nigerian army not edo....majority my foot
Ure been slideline in politics by d north nd west nd u all raise ur stupid tongues nd write ur a majour tribe....i bet nxt 20yrs the north will elinate all d ibos to just one state nd Yoruba's will do well to assist

first u said Yoruba don’t wear bead I showed u the bead now u say it’s not rounded do u have eyes at all. Yoruba traded through all the Sahel we didn’t need no Portuguese. Benin was the one who need Portuguese and look very well there is a lot of bead on her neck some rounded and some not.

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Moneywomen17(m): 7:22pm On May 10, 2018
@gregyboy do u see the oduduwa statue show two bead too one long one short and the short one case could be made it’s not round too but the carver made it look that. The same pattern of the bead one small and one short is also the same in the owa-obokun ijesha I posted too that davidnaze is shouting is a recent adoption

Nigga there diffrence btw short beeds and round beeds compare d one by the oba and oduduwa with moremi ...moremi is just wearing a short beed and long ones a round beed is wider dan short beeds compare my friend ....yoruba never made beeds never worn beeds till d 18c bring fact i guess d artwork who did that included those beeds those statue are recent statue done probably in d late 18c or 19 does yoruba even knew what is statue before the advent of the British not to talk of erecting one spear me your lies all the art work done before d advent of the white by yorubas where bust(head to chest)

According to history the northern people that sold beeds to the yorubas...beeds at the late 18c was been marketed by the northerners uptill date u still hve them selling it

Here is a prove dat dat wasnt really a round beed worn by moremi it could d way d sculpturist depreciated it in is way here photos proved yorubas kings wore long beeds couldn't find any acient one probably yourubas never immortalized thier kings

One yoruba kings was shown holding the benin ada for symbol of authority....benin history all over yoruba nation both in terms of food ,dressing style ,food etc u all still come together to rewrite history just like your father awolowo taught

So, you don't known that many of these artifacts have been tested . And the radiocarbon of these artifacts provided the info we give online....If a Yoruba son( Oranmiyan) didnt impregnated Edo girl around late 11th century, how would Bini exist?..No time again to engage you anymore.

there is no Benin ada any ada found in Yoruba hand is Yoruba. Moremi was alive in the 12 century and there is a bead around her neck. As far as am concerned there is no bead made by Benin u bought it from Portuguese but Yoruba also made bead and bought it too. Yoruba has been making bead no be today unlike u only got it when u met the Portuguese.

For edo people who thinks they introduce beads to Africa see how long Africa has been using bead. Till today there is still a lot of tribe making bead traditionally like in the past.

Guys, you had these descendants of ekalahderan in the corner. You had them pinned down and unable to defend or offer response on why a full precolonial map with all African Empires represented did not list Bini...instead, Ife is shown for Yoruba. In fact Ife is shown covering where Bini should have been.

Thats a map of African Empires before colonization. What does that tell you....and you let them slipped away?


Then you raised the issue of foreign influence in the palace and throne and ask them to explain it. Look at how they are explaining beads....why are their tongues tied on the question of foreigners taking over Edoland and imposing an everlasting Yoruba sovereignty? What does that tell you? ...but you left them to evade the issue.


The hoax called ekalahderan, where is he? Have they found him yet? Why dont you beat them down and refuse to discuss anything else until they find ekalahderan?

Actually, Edo artwork was not dug out, it was stolen from Oba palace by the british.
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by BabaRamota1980: 2:30am On May 11, 2018
When early writers of Bini talk about the kingdom controlling its neighbours they talk about its neighbours to the East. The Urhobo, Esan, Isoko, Western Ibos and so on.

So if Ekaladeran escaped, he did so heading East. Ekaladheran is Edo, not Bini. Therefore his settlement and descendants will exist as a proto Edo society, with zero Yoruba nature or customs.

The quicker you find ekaladheran the easier for you to see, and be able to deal with the knowledge that you were scammed by your people.
