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.

after they circum navigated the whole African bight of benin was born from source from Portuguese explorer record account giving by Portuguese explorer even dahomey togo ghana bony were called bight of benin . because the map of africa was created from Portuguese source and the first hinter land contact Portuguese will have is with the benin kingdom creating the map they name the region bight of benin

MetaPhysical:
I think his name was Ewedo. Correct?

Ewedo ko, Ewedu ni!

Ogiso Owodo.

Everything na do do do. Yoruba go do Edo.

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.

i don't need to look up the date i said 1500s contact with African contact benin 1550..you said 1400s after you said 1485..

but in the late 1400 they were navigating the Africa coast

I told you, you are all over the thread making up stories, first you said Benin was the last place to be contacted by the Europeans, now you claimed Benin was the first hinter land kingdom to be contacted, which is which, I hope you are not like this in real life.

I'm thinking you secretly yearn for knowledge so I will freely educate you a little on this before I go back to tormenting you.

Prior to visiting Western Africa the Europeans had been in contact with North Africans and Arabs and it was from them they heard about a people/culture (and great kingdoms) existing in tropical (rain forest) West Africa. The Portuguese explorers got permission from their King to navigate and chart the unknown African region. So starting from North Africa coast the explorers sailed along the coastal line of Africa to the West and finally they arrived at Benin Kingdom. Benin Kingdom was the first place they landed in the area now known as Nigeria. and FYI trading didnt immediately begin when they landed. When they came they met the Itsekiris who were living closest to where their ship docked, and as normal with every visit to a new place they inquired who their ruler was.. The Itsekiris directed them to their capital Benin City where the great King resides.. and the rest is history.

The ruler of Itsekiris not Oyo and from what I gather the Benin King wasn't ruler of Ife either. So what's your point?

KingSango:

King Sango what are you talking about? Did I say ruler of Ife when the Europeans came was the Oba of Benin? The ruler of the Itsekiris was the Oba of Benin and till today He still is the Overlord in that region.

KingSango:
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.

Very wrong information.

Oramfe was & is still Ife’s god of fire, thunder and lightening. Ife did not worship Sango or recognize him as sugch until contacts with immigrants from Oyo dependent towns under Ilorin attack.

King Sango what are you talking about? Did I say ruler of Ife when the Europeans came was the Oba of Benin? The ruler of the Itsekiris was the Oba of Benin and till today He still is the Overlord in that region.

As long as you are talking Oba of Benin ruling over Itsekiris not Oyo and Ife.


Small groups can come under the rulership of another more powerful group, what's the harm in this? There was no slavery like chattel slavery European inflicted upon Afrikans in the West. What are you guys beefing about? Ancient Nigerian history that none of you lived and none of your grandparents. All this stuff is so long, long, long ago. Who cares? Benin is a great empire yet so is Oyo, Dahomey and Fulani. I don't get the back and forth, that's woman behavior yet I don't see the women partaking in such wasteful use of energy only men.

davidnazee:
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.

Yes,Portuguese got to Lagos around 1470s and they met Aworis . And Portuguese got to Edo around 1485 . Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Bloody set of Edo liars.

It’s your Yoruba brethrens that refuse to acknowledge that Benin was a great and mighty Empire.. Benin didn’t rule over Ife, nor did it rule over Oyo. But Benin ruled over most of Eastern Yoruba and shared boundaries with Oyo kingdom.. Benin also saw the birth of Oyo and the end too.. Benin was the only independent African kingdom till the end of the 19th century when it was subdued by the British forces..
As for slavery Benin didn’t engage in slavery but Oyo was the master of slavery selling almost all Yorubas in its territory into slavery..
Benin was a great Kingdom that survived time while others fell it stood..

Oyo only sold captured warriors into slavery from Dahomey. It was Dahomey that raided the corridor that exists between Oyo state and the nation of Benin Repulic where lies Yorubas there persecuted by Dahomey/Fon slave raiders. Yorubas were sold by Dahomey not Oyo. It was a practice to enslave captured warriors so they just sold them to Europeans. Oyo Empire didn't end it still exists yet like Benin Empire both came under the tyranny of British. Let's not forget who our real enemies are in the real sense. You guys make too much of old rivalries that the Nigerian Independence put an end too! Stop digging up old bones.

Lies cause damage. Yet in trying to undo the lies you may be feeding into negativity that's the trap. People who need lies to keep them alive are weak people, if that is the case and not some confused Edo historian.

Mr. what are you even informing on? Have you no knowledge that Bini was landlocked? The Itsekiri was the link way between Bini and Portuguese, simply because of pepper before ivory, sculputure work etc....

these fools even claimed contact with the arabs yet nothing to show for it .

samuk:
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.

Who is on contradictory lane if not you Edo people? You claimed Oba means ‘shiny' in Edo but Omo nor Oba said Oranmiyan imported the word from Yoruba land . Some of you claim ,there are no Yoruba people or settlement in Akoko Edo yet we have seen full blooded words that aren't in Bini lexicon nor names. such as Akerele, Bayo, Tosin, etc . Perhaps, Yorubas are wrong, Kindly help us find the etymology of Ikiran Ilé and Ikiran Okè in Bini lexicons. How did Ilé and Okè became Bini words for description of a settlement?

You just made me burst into laughter . Do you know they condemned Jacob Egharevba's work on history of Bini just to save face? Simply because, it became an embarrassment to Edos that their most revered king was a Yoruba man!
