samuk:You are new that's why you are just realizing the dubiousness cum ignorance of these people. Don't waste your time doing logical analysis with them, hit them real hard if you must engage them and show no mercy. They don't deserve any. They are just history manufacturers |

davidnazee:Ijebu was never under Bini. Dont make me upload another embarassment for you here. Im still waiting for you to reflect upon that Biafran occupation first ...but force me to speedily bring a more damning evidence of your uncivilization here. ![]() |

steveosaz:Really You schooled in North and see Yoruba converting to Hausa and fulani? ![]() But the prince of fulani prostrated and greet king of Yoruba in Oyo. Abi you no know? Would you like to see Prince Sanusi prostrating to greet Alaafin? . Edo and fabricated lies is like rice and chicken stew. Great combination! |

samuk:Lagos was in contact with Portuguese by Prince Henry the Navigator before benin , Portuguese heard of benin from the itskeiris i doubt if João Afonso de Aveiromade made it to benin Portuguese had a port in Lagos " named lagos by them" strategic point for their navigation and exploration i doubt if they would assist you mongrels in destroying Lagos |

Obalufon:Very true! Portuguese had trading posts in Wydah and Aworis were already exchanging trades with them through the Badagry creeks. |

Obalufon:You are all over the place and unable to make up your mind. You manufacture your version of history on the go. You said European didn't get to Africa till 1500, when I pointed you to the fact that they were already in Benin by 1485, you are now saying they got to Lagos before Benin, how would you know that if you didn't even know when Europeans first arrived Africa. When European got to Lagos, Lagos was under and part of Benin Kingdom, itsekiri was part of Benin Kingdom with Benin city as capital. |

steveosaz:I was taught not to demand respect from anyone except from myself. Therefore, I couldn't have demanded it from you. |

BabaRamota1980:Dont ask, show him. Here is picture of Yorubas converting to Fulani. This was witnessed by an Edo, Steveosaz who was a student in the North. Shikena!

steveosaz:Honestly you guys are really trying putting up with people like these. They lack knowledge of history and refuse to learn. My little sympathy for them is because I know they have disjointed history, you have someone from Ijebu or Ekiti trying to write about Oyo history and they start contradicting themselves. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by MetaPhysical: 6:29pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
samuk:Benin did not settle in Lagos untill 1600s. Lagos was never part of Benin. Benin had a throne in Lagos to protect against invasions from Dahomey. Benin did not fight the owners of Lagos, they were invited to secure their farms and lands against invasions from Dahomey. If the original invitation to Oyo had been honored Oyo would be the throne, not Benin. |

samuk:15 century is 1400 1500 they explore hinterland ,they were navigating the coastal region the late 15 century 1400 .before exploring the hinterland after they had already circum navigated Africa their main expectoration was to trade with indian if they had contacted the benin in 1484 so you were ruling Lagos 1400..when the first lagos king was in 1600 right ..you are a clone .. |

Hey babaramota, im looking something up in the library. whats name of that ogiso whose queen gave pussy to chiefs to change what oracle said? |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by KingSango(m): 6:42pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Olu317:No, it wasn't me that compared Sango to Jakuta, the God of thunder. the Ife created Jakuta is limited to only lightning and thunder. Sango is the God of fire, lightning and thunder. As I've said there are 3 Sangos, The Alaafin of Oyo, The High Priest Sango Kuso, and the Irunmole Sango the God of fire. The Irunmole descended and incarnated the son of Oranmiyan and he became Alaafin. It was only after his death was he defied as Sango. Meaning that the elders understood that God had descended upon Earth in their King. All these nasty stories yall have about Sango are not true. Yorubas were wicked and Sango had to judge them harshly sometimes, this lead to Sango being hated by many Yorubas. Especially those who were engaged in twin sacrifice which is child sacrifice. Even some Yorubas were engaging in other wicked practices that the Alaafin Sango put an end too. People hate reformers especially moral reformers like Sango. Not all Afrikan people want to live morally and that include some Yorubas, hell Bobrisky is Yoruba. Do you think Bobrisky loves Sango? Sango would have judged him harshly for his wicked behavior. Ase Love Sango |

MetaPhysical:hhhemm, i cant recall right away. Hold on... Hey Edos...umubiafrans..., ![]() Whats Ekaladheran popsy's name? The deranged Ogiso that killed his son so he can be blessed with more. What's his name? Ogiso what?? |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Obalufon: 6:49pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
MetaPhysical:Benin was on a trading expedition to Ghana as i read they were attacked by the aworis for stepping foot on their soil the expendition was halted they turned back to benin after getting to Benin they narrated the story to oba benin , oba sent his son ado a renown warrior with his elite soldier to attack Lagos as reprisal for the insult on him when the aworis cited ado they knew he was a prince and ife from his regalia they offer to make ado the king of lagos being a lineage of oduduwa ..ado could spaek yoruba fluently |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by samuk: 6:51pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Obalufon:You are the fool and confused one here, go and read your post again. You wrote 1500 and not 15th century, I was the one that wrote 1400s and you disputed it. Who was the king the European wrote about when they got to Lagos, provide international sources not the one written by fellow ignoramus like you. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by davidnazee: 6:57pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Obalufon:If the Portuguese got to Lagos before Benin but yet when they got to Benin they documented Benin was ruling everywhere, from Niger to Lagos.. so probably it’s the Aworis you say they Portuguese met that told them Benin was the lord. Your brain must be scratching you. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by samuk: 6:58pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
MetaPhysical:So you agreed that Lagos was a Benin colony and protectorate with a throne, just as Nigeria later became British colony and protectorate. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Obalufon: 6:59pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
samuk:you were trading in pepper what year ...you were the last to be contacted stop spurting rubbish bight of Benin is different from benin city fool the Portuguese were in contact with Lagos Badagry years before stepping foot on benin soil they get to know about benin from the itsekiri..hinter land was in the 1500 trading started in the 1500 at it peak 1550 |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by davidnazee: 7:06pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Obalufon:I will assume that you and your fellows here are representing the Yoruba race and as such I feel sorry for Yoruba people. A people so cowardly and deluded with no pride trying to distort history just to feel good. Other tribes read the same documents we read and also knows African history.. they will be laughing at you yorubas at your desperate attempt to change what’s documented down. If you like tell your children to write in exams that Portuguese got to Lagos before Benin, Na failure and repeat go be their portion lol. As I said earlier, your future generations will come to read history as it was documented, “Great Benin conquered and rule vast parts of Yoruba lands”.. History and documents awaits them. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by samuk: 7:09pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Obalufon:Hopefully you will eventually lean something today, the bight of Benin is a body of water that was named after Benin for her greatness just the way Victoria falls and Victoria island was named after queen Victoria of England. You are already contradicting your compatriot Metaphisical on the history of Lagos just like I stated in my earlier post, you all come out of your ethnic enclaves in the name of one Yoruba and start distorting other peoples history, you guys have nothing to do with Lagos but trying to rewrite her history and start contradicting yourself in a show of shame, do even have shame? |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by davidnazee: 7:11pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Obalufon:Mugu mugu.. where did the name Bight of Benin come from? Oh so the name Bight of Benin existed before Benin was discovered by the Europeans? Chai!! If you mugus are Yoruba champions then we Edos are a superior race to you. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by MetaPhysical: 7:14pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
Obalufon:Aworis dont fight. Do you know what is unique about Yorubas? Every war we fought we know the principals and the given name of the war. If we cant find in archives name of a war or names of the principals then that war did not happen. There is no record of a war featuring Awori principals. They occupy western part of Ogun all the way to Dahomey and down to Badagry creeks. Yet it was Egba that fought Dahomey over Awori territory. The Aworis themselves did not fight. Their covenant is priesthood, so they abstain from war. Benin presence in Lagos is for defense. In the war of Agidingbi, the first Kosoko vs Beecroft war, the Aworis vacated their palaces and left town. In the second war of Ahoyaya, they left town again. After war they returned. Thats what Benin signed up for, to defend Lagos in contract for trade benefits on the coast. King of Lagos domain covers only Lagos Island. Ikoyi, Lekki, VI, Atlantic City, Apapa, Ijora, Iganmu, all of Mainland....all belong to the Aworis. In terms of land ownership, the land the palace is built on is the only one Oba of Lagos can claim to his pedigree. He has no other land anywhere. Yoruba scholars intimidated oral authorities to yield to them the custody and rights of historical accounts and reviews. Unfortunately, except for few, they failed in their task to shield the history from tainted injections from more conservative historians competing to displace our superiority. |

davidnazee:What is the point of this? Don't you know that Sango is Afrika's greatest King? Sango ruled from Nigeria all the way to Senegal. Sure the original Oyo shown on maps is much smaller but there were council of Kings like today back then and Sango ruled by confluence. Yoruba traders were in Benin, Republic, Togo, Ghana, Cote' ldovire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, all the way to Senegal. Yall present day Nigerians arguing over North and South, ethnic group to ethnic group while the rest of West Afrika looks to you as the Giant of Afrika yet you act like pygmies. There is no beef between the Alaafin and the Emir of Kano. None. How come subjects are beefing? The Oba of Benin isn't fighting with the Alaafin. How come you guys are in here promoting this anti-socialism? Nigeria needs wide awake youths, so wake the hell up. Ase Love Sango |

BabaRamota1980:Do you know how the Yoruba Deji of Akure was beheaded by the Benin police in the mid 18th century? I will tell you because I like telling you things u don’t know. After the Deji messed up, Benin special police (equivalent of SARS now) was dispatched to bring his head.. Benin didn’t have to fight a war to execute the Deji, yorubas was too weak and in fear of mighty Benin.. our police simply walked into Deji palace dragged him out into the street and took of his head while the Yorubas were just looking and wailing.. This account is stored in historical archives waiting for your future generations to read and judge who is master and who is the conquered.. |

davidnazee:Do you mind naming the wars of conquest so we can check it up and be educated? Every war has a name. What are names of some of these wars, if you are truthful? |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by BabaRamota1980: 7:25pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
davidnazee:I ask for name of Ekaladheran's deranged popsy's name, not for SARS. . Whats name of your ogiso whose chiefs bleeped his queen? ![]() |

| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by davidnazee: 7:31pm On Jun 03, 2018 |
BabaRamota1980:If you want the name of Ekhaladeran’s father it is Ogiso Owodo.. now type your deranged story let me see and I will counter it with another true accounts of the beheading of your Yoruba Ewi in Ekiti.. my true accounts versus your deranged and frustrated feel good stories.. I’m gonna torture you and your fellow Yorubas till u start avoiding me like ur brother marcof is running from me.. |
