BabaRamota1980:Keep attacking Edo.. However your attacks have no substance or truth, at best its a mockery of history and venting of frustration at your pre-colonial rulers. Do not forget that Edo ruled Yoruba, your ancestors for 500 years.. 500 years!! I am soo proud of my ancestors who achieved this feat.. No wonder there is a bond between Edos and Yorubas.. Edo is forever tattooed on Yoruba skin.. |

Obalufon:A picture of Saraki paying homage doesn't change anything.. at best its just damage control.. Your Oni (a slave descendant) already made a fool of himself.. but however what else will a slave know rather than to always bow because submission is synonymous with slaves.. Its in his DNA to bow.. Your cannot take the slave from him.. |

OBA EWAURE'S OFFICIAL SPEECH AT THAT SHITT HOLE IFE In his speech at Ooni’s palace, Oba Ewuare had this to say, “We are indeed appreciative of all the commendations and the remarks you said, moreso the support and working together so that our kingdoms will get closer and closer. “I want to say it gives me great pleasure to visit His Majesty today in countinuation of my nationwide thank you call to traditional rulers, and other eminent personalities that graced my coronation on October 20, 2016, which by the divine grace of God is also my birthday. This visit has long been planned but due traditional and other palace engagements in Benin, it is coming at this time. My post-coronation thank-you tour commenced with a visit last year to President Buhari and the Sultan of Sokoto. I thank God for making this visit possible. “This visit is to appreciate Your Majesty for the honour done to me and the entire people of Benin with your personal presence at my coronation. This visit should provide us the opportunity to re-awaken the cordial relationship between our two kingdoms which seemed to have unfortunately hitherto cooled off since my father’s visit to Ile Ife in the reign of Oba Sijuade, for reasons I am not too sure of. It is my prayer that this visit of mine will restart the cordial relationship which, because of the historical affinity, should exist between our two kingdoms. We should explore and tap into what unites us rather than what divides us, for the advancement of our cultural heritage and socio-economic development. “It is gratifying to note that you and I have already been in regular communication even before this visit. We must increase visits to each other because such will augur well for the desirable close relationship between our two kingdoms.” He used the occasion to highlight “three major issues of national concern. They are the persistent herdsmen/farmers clashes, human trafficking, and the socio-economic under-development of the country.” He said there was a “dire need to improve on the security architecture of the country” mentioning porous borders as part of the issue. While commending President Buhari on tackling the issue of insurgency in the Northeast, I want to on behalf of all traditional rulers in Edo State, join al traditional rulers in Nigeria, appeal to the President to as a matter of urgency intervene in these other threats to the unity of our country.” Having introduced members of the royal family on his entourage that included his bother Prince Aghatise Erediuawa who is Executive Director of NDIC, Princes Ehiose and Omoregbe Erediuawa and his daughter, Princess Osayuwamen Ewuare,Oba Ewuare II also personally introduced one Chief Oliha. He said, “Those of you that know the history know that the then Oliha came to Ife to ask that Oranmiyan be brought to Benin. There are details in history books. I am cutting out the details. It’s all in the history books and you can research that. He (the then Oliha) was the one that successfully won the right to escort Oranmiyan to Benin to become the first oba of Benin.” He mentioned the creation of a foundation called the Oba Ewuare II Foundation to help tackle the menace of human trafficking, noting that the issue was not peculiar to Edo State alone. He said Oba Ewuare II Foundation would work with the House of Oduduwa Foundation in Ife for the betterment of the people.[/b] http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/amp/when-oba-of-benin-visited-ooni-of-ife/ |

Moorish:You have not heard one word of denigration from my post. In fact when they throw a dart I dodge it and i respond back with facts. Example.....Ogiso Owodo for a fact is a dimwit. There are many ways to win an argument. Use of saucy and denigrating words is not one of them. |

BabaRamota1980:Yea At the end of the day people come on social media and say things they cannot in real life Makes you feel like a big man cos you can say stuff online I do regret being dragged into the dog fight I would say though that I am pleased to meet Nigerian historians It is an encouragement |

Moneywomen17:Lol.. first of all, non of your mumu yoruba brothers even liked or shared your rants because they know its foolish.. Benin Kingdom conquered everywhere in Eastern Yoruba.. according to your Yoruba scholar Akintoye, he stated that Bradbury who visited the area after Bossman said Benin Conquered and ruled everywhere.. But Akintoye based his self serving analysis on Bossman who came to the area before Bradbury came.. In real life any judgement is always based on "recent findings" and Bradbury findings was more recent. Also Akintoye saying the Benin Armies who went to quell the Yoruba riots met stiff resistance and decided to "stay behind" and join the locals in their "local war"... I no fit laugh ooo.. That statement from Akintoye is a convenient way of lying and hiding the truth.. The truth is that the armies was highly successful and they were mandated to remain in the area to make sure no more riots happened again, and also to protect Edo citizens and Edo interests in the region.. I have been shouting all along that it was the Benin Armies that actually fought the Ekiti Kparakpo wars.. This statement by Akintoye just proved me right. Our Armies that stayed behind and fought your local wars was the Benin Armies fighting to protect Edos hold on Eastern Yoruba.. Ibadan's aim in the war was to rescue its Yoruba brothers from the over 500yrs subjugation by the mighty Benin Empire.. No matter how hard you yorubas try to distort history the truth and fact will remain very glaring for all to see.. Even Akintoye could have denied Benin ever beheaded the Deji but because the beheading was done publicly he could not.. |

BabaRamota1980:My friend your pain is understood.. Keep venting it out.. But please how does it feel knowing that your ancestors where ruled for 500yrs by the Edo people? I will like to know how it feels because I don;t know that feeling.. Chai!! 500yrs.. and like Kanye West said, I think it was a choice by the Yorubas to be ruled for 500yrs, I guess thats why they easily accepted Ekhaladeran to take up the Ife throne.. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by davidnazee: 12:59pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
BabaRamota1980:And Fact: Yorubas were ruled for 500yrs by the Edo people. another fact: Your Ooni is a slave descendants.. My facts have been researched and found to be truth, but your fact about Ogiso is just a ranting of a pained and frustrated man and everyone knows why u feel that way and we actually feel sorry for u... but at the same time we are proud our ancestors saved us from that feeling by being the conquerors and making your ancestors the conquered.. So babaramota my advice to you is to keep on venting, let the anger out.. when all the anger and frustration is out you will accept your fate and be at peace with yourself. |

davidnazee:David, would you really feel good knowing you enslaved the men and women of another culture? You truly wouldn't feel good at that, don't lie I think you are just a man who has a deep love and reverence for his Edo ancestors and you would not tolerate anyone denigrating your heritage We in the Yoruba camp are thesame.. so there will be no end to the supremacy tussle I, though I am out of this online d.ick measurement Peace to you and yours |

Moorish:While I cannot disagree with what you've said here, it's imperative to understand that this thread was originally started to deride the Edos. The yorubas were obviously harboring some sinister motives when they immediatelye after this post was made began peddling outright falsehood about the purpose of the Oba's visit to the Ooni. Both parties spoke and acknowledged that the visit was purely on a courtesy basis meant to entrench greater love and cooperation between the two groups, but to the surprise of many, the Yoruba were everywhere including Herr claiming the Oba went to complete his coronation-thats an insult and such insult cannot be left to just cool off at least for posterity's sake. Meanwhile it was repeatedly pointed out to the yorubas that the Oba had a tradition of visiting fellow monarchs of his stature after ascending the throne and in this case, Oba Ewuare actually began by visiting the president, then the Sultan, some other smaller monarchs and then the ooni. But strangely, only the visit to the ooni elicited unnnecessary commentary. This is purely mischief. Edos ordinarily don't tell Yoruba story or that of other groups, we believe everyone should tell their story however they please, but when these incursions by yorubas into Edo history is becoming a hobby for them, then, the records must be set straight, no matter what and at any cost. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Moorish: 1:28pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
steveosaz:I appreciate that you took the time to reason with me. I had said some silly things to you in the past. I take them all back. I wish you nothing but peace and goodwill in your future sojourns. I also apologize to all people of Edo descent. I made some unguided statements on this thread. I have great admiration for what the Benin Kingdom accomplished. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by davidnazee: 1:33pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
Moorish:I don't feel good about anybody or race being enslaved.. Its you Yorubas that dragged the Edos into this fight and like the warriors that we are, we are obligated to defend our honour and heritage.. If you started following this thread you will see that the Yorubas twisted an ordinary thank you visit by my our Great Oba to mean HE was paying homage.. Do you expect us to sit back and take that insult and lie?? We were not born that way. So I am just reminding the Yorubas their place in history and that this Edo they are trying to trash was once their rulers, but all that is in the past.. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by steveosaz(m): 1:33pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
BabaRamota1980:Lol.... Here is a man who lives in an alternate reality. So in your dictionary, dimwit is a word used in adulation abi? You should cease writing in English and completely write whatever you want to in Yoruba. |

In the few years of his reign to date, Ooni Adeyeye has endeavoured to touch lives, physically and materially. He has been a household name in terms of promoting our cultural values as well as being a frontier for unity and peace, at the national and international levels. At this year’s Olokun Festival, HIM got a collaboration in the area of peacekeeping across the divide and this is no other person than his brother king, a descendant of the Oduduwa kingdom and a foremost custodian of African culture, the Oba of Benin, Omo N’oba Akpolokpolo Ewuare II. The Oba was hosted by HIM on the first day of the Olokun celebration, April 28, 2018, at an elaborate reception at the Royal Court, Enuwa, Ile-Ife. The visit showcased a display of the cultures of both the Benin and Yoruba people; the performance of the Benin cultural group and the Ooni’s palace troupe, among others, was not only beautiful but the similarity in cultures was highlighted. The kings’ guards, music and the waist-twisting on the dance floor were actually “things to write home about.” I must recall that the last time such a visit happened between both kingdoms was some 39 years ago. The last visit, which occurred in 1979 at the Royal Court, was by the Oba of Benin, Omo n’oba ni Edo Erediauwa, to see the Ooni Adesoji Aderemi, on his ascension to the throne of Benin. The following year, Ooni Aderemi joined his precursors. It is, however, noteworthy that, Baba was delighted with Omo n’oba to the extent that he swapped his revered black leather seat with Erediauwa. Ooni Aderemi was blessed to have witnessed three reigns of Obas of Benin before he passed. May our kings be blessed with long life in the land of the living (amen). The crust on the visit this time was the visit to the ‘Orun Oba Ado’ and the symbolic gift presented to the Ewuare. Need I tell you to seat tight, fasten your seat belt as I take you through the significance of the coatings. Both selfless monarchs decided to visit the place named “Orun Oba Ado” meaning, “the resting place of Edo kings.” Tradition has it that when the Oba of Benin passed, his head was sent from the Edo kingdom to the Orun Oba Ado in Aku (Ile-Ife) for burial while a bronze-head replica was sent from Ile-If to Edo where the rest of the body would be buried. This goes to show the existence of a very close relationship between the Aku and Edo, I suppose. On the same note, Feyistan Opeyemi in a publication made on March 25, 2012, stated that the reason may not be far from the belief that Aku and Ado are siblings and represent the Biblical Esau and Jacob. Reference was made to the book of Jasher 56:48 – 57:5. The major factor is that strong ties exist between Benin Kingdom and Ile-Ife as a descent of Oduduwa. Therefore, the monarchs were thoughtful to pay a visit to this site where they prayed to their ancestors, asking God for unity and peace within their kingdoms and Nigeria at large. The choice of gift for the Oba of Benin was cardinal and a thoughtful move by HIM as he presented a gift, which transcends the physical. It is symbolic; it illustrates the bond between the two kingdoms, their vocation as professional hunter, and the link of brotherhood to Oranmiyan and further to Oduduwa. To mark this historic visit, the two powerful brother-king and their entourage were hosted to a reception by the Osun State Governor, His Excellency, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola at the government house in Osogbo, Osun State. The take-home of the visit according to H.I.M Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi and the Omo N’oba Akpolokpolo Ewuare II is that, both kings have the intention to foster unity and better understanding of the kingdoms. They also admonished the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, President Mohammed Buhari to ensure coexistence among Nigerians by resolving issues that impact the security of the country. The Olokun festival which was rounded up on 29 April 2018 witnessed a good number of people from within and outside Nigeria in attendance. The Olokun festival is an annual cultural festival in Nigeria, it is celebrated throughout Yoruba land and the Edo. The word Okun means sea while Olokun means the owner of the sea; the owner who is deemed the goddess of the sea. It is believed that the Olokun has the power to give children to barren women. She is also believed to be in control of ocean waves and could capsize sea vessels of evildoers at will. Olokun is also the goddess of riches and she has the power to bestow wealth to her devotees. The worshippers of Olokun are generally dressed in immaculate white attires with their faces paintedted with white chalk. The Edo people celebrate Olokun in late February that is; 1st moon after the 12th moon. This takes place in Usonigbe, the site of Olokun’s shrine, in Edo State while the Chief Olokun shrine is located in the Ilode quarter of Ile-Ife, Osun State. |

KingSango:I don't know who you are or care that much.. Just correcting your phrase "Afrikans".. I thought you understood the purpose of my statement.. |
| Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by KingSango(m): 1:41pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
Olu317:My lineage is Ifa that is by heritage. Your lineage is Oranmiyan that is by heritage. I never claimed to be Yoruba that is a modern term. I just prefer to say I am Afrikan. I am open to share with Oyo, Ife, Benin, Edo, Hausa, Fulani, Dahomey, and any Afrikan ethnic group that is working to better the world for the race known as the, "Black Race. Yet I follow, "Oosha", to save those only worthy to be saved, who love life and respect life. Sango is King of Kings, that's that. Yet Obatala and Oduduwa are higher than Sango and so is Ifa. Alot is owed to the royal family of Oyo who contributed a huge milestone in Yoruba history. I argue to preserve the legacy of Alaafin Sango and respect for the spirit of Sango, the cult of kingship. Sango doesn't bow to no one yet if Yorubas bowed to Sango would that be an issue? The higher you raise your king the higher you are raised. You love the Ooni? Long live the Ooni of Ile Ife. You love Oranmiyan, his mighty staff will never fall. I wasn't speaking of the original Ogboni only Ogboni Confaternity which is connected to Freemasonry. Ogboni is the traditional society which the Alaafin of Oyo and Sango Kuso are high chiefs. Again, my loyalty is to Sango. Maybe you misunderstand me. The Alaafin is the Living Sango. I know homosexuality is taboo in Yorubaland. Yet the times we live in the culture has died and European values via Freemasonry have crept into land. And it's everywhere in America all because of Freemasons are sodomites. I don't know if Afrikan Freemasons are into the same insane practices. Because I would have never thought Black people were into this yet it appears the Afrikan Freemasons in America are deeply into ritual sodomy. Think of what you want about calling upon the Orishas to cause disaster. As I've said about magick, mixing herbs to cause lightning can be done in alot of magical traditions around the world. Affecting weather is one of the easiest forms of magick. Directing it towards enemies towns and cities is much harder. Sango achieved it though. There was a mage apart of Great Britain that cause the Spanish Armada about to invade Britain to sink in a storm he conjured. There is an occult war against Afrikans and I am surprised to that some of you may believe sincerely that other races don't have great magick. Never underestimate in war. That's all I have to contribute to the matter. Ase Love Sango |
