My peoples, Bini is the only place where researchers are threatened & forced to bring their research to the palace first before it can be published. They did this to caucasian researchers, Yoruba researchers & even their own sor J. Egarevbha.

Bini palace is scared of something & tries to give every research a pre-determined direction. Research should develop & take a course based on evidences available but for Bini palace na lie, they gats force you to design your work a certain way.


Most researchers include this caveat in their work. Heck, their own son Egarevbha included it too. grin
Yorubas are historical pillagers, so it wouldn't be out of place to regulate their access to palace information.
You people are known to work from the answer to the question - that's your stock in trade.

Meanwhile, tell us why the Olugbo of Ugbo is puncturing the falsehood and the blatant lie telling of the ooni.

Also tell us why the Alaafin and the Olugbo are both saying the ooni is a deceptive impersonator and stranger.

Even the Olugbo also quoted the Benin palace when they said Oduduwa was their lost prince.

Till tomorrow, there are millions of yorubas who would defend with their last blood the claim that Oduduwa came from Mecca via Egypt (this is simply to dodge another narrative that Oduduwa migrated to Ife from eastwards which ordinarily tallies with the Edo story).

There are yet still, millions of yorubas out there who say that Oduduwa came from heaven.

So at what point did you people revise all these and come up with the comical versions people like you now hide under the mango tree writing?

Dude, Yoruba history is a cow with multiple horns - no direction. It wouldn't even make a good storyline for children's cartoon.

You are daft.

- Your king enjoyed the brotherhood Yoruba kings extended to it. And I wont lie, Bini’s invasion of eastern Yorubaland was also because she your Oba wanted to keep that route open for Ife to acquire weapons during her wars from the Isoya-Ondo-Bini trade route.

- Why did your king beg Ogedengbe, a radical who conquered Edo territories into Bini hearland?

What Bini enjoyed was the recognition Yoruba had for him as a fellow Yoruba man in a strange land. The same recognition reflected in the Kings’ sitting arrangement & so on. Till today 90% Yoruba still think Bini king is a Yoruba man in a strange land & because he is a Yoruba man, Yoruba owns Bini land. A mentality I’ve had to take pains to enlighten people about informing them that your king hates us & I presented the book he wrote & comments of people like you.
This was also how either you or one of your ever lying Yoruba compatriots earlier on Here claimed no Yoruba town ever attacked ife due to its spiritual significance amongst the yorubas(even though there wasn't any such thing as Yoruba at the time), but the story of moremi clearly contradicts that as alluded to by the Olugbo.

Yoruba has no history, it's all hogwash, pure lies and fabrications.

So my true talk pain u eh? very good.. I’m all about reminding you of the pain and suppression Benin Kingdom brought on your people..

You claim Benin only conquered 6 kingdoms and your mumu brother babaramota is jumping and celebrating.. so why don’t you tell us how big each of those conquered 6 kingdoms were? Since every post u have made has been an embarrassment for the Yoruba race I guess your answer will be another embarrassment.. Tell us the size of those 6 kingdoms.. is it just one town that made up each kingdom or several towns and villages in each?
I Dey wait your answer and while u finding out the size pleaseee tell me which part of Yoruba you are from so I can give u a detailed account of how Benin burnt all the houses in your place and took ur people into exile.. I Dey wait.

Babaramota has been making a fool of himself like the mugu he is but you have been embarrassing the entire Yoruba by playing to our advantage..

Ekaladheran, let's assume the 6 communities were towns.

These towns got their own guns and marched on Benin, a Kingdom, one-on-one and demolished you.

The keyword is MARCHED and the hook is ONE-on-ONE!


They came for you, bullet for bullet, sword for sword, arrow for arrow....and beat you to a surrender.

Isn't it an irony that you are asking someone to accept defeat when by this very write up of yours, you have already capitulated. Within the context of today's world, the superpowers are enjoying that status for no other reason than the very fact that they have superior weaponry.

Remember, times and seasons change, while Benin was kicking Yoruba ass over those many centuries, when Yoruba also had access to guns(according to your pedestrian scholars), why couldn't they establish occupation in Benin.

Benin occupied several Yoruba towns and established suzerainty over them in certain instances. Meanwhile, at no time in history has Yoruba ever replicated same in Edo land.


Yorubas for several centuries were trade stock for the slave market, many ended up in ships bound for Europe and America to go work on cotton plantations. Meanwhile, Edos were never sold as slaves. In fact, its on record that being that the Edos abhorred the idea of selling humans, they were known to have freed so many slaves(yorubas inclusive) who had been captured and waiting to be ferried off to the western world.

Edos a were your Lords and benefactors. Bow to your kings!!!
You have a modus operandi when overpowered....you begin to pacify your opponent.

Britain was not the first power to loot your palace. Are you aware?

Recall a ritual face mask worn only by the Oba was seized from your palace by Igala warriors. Till today the mask is in their posession.

Where was your Oba when Igala entered and took his mask during war? Was he hidden away or somethinghuh


In the second war, while Igala warriors were camped just outside your city. Oba sent fresh young Edo pussies into the camp to entertain his enemy, hoping the action will pacify them to turn around and head back to Idah. After chopping pussy Igala warriors headed into Benin....Oba sent a Save Our Soul dispatch for Portuguese help.


1966, Biafra, are you aware that...

Noo, let me leave Biafra beside for now, its use will come later. grin grin



If we didnt occupy its because you likely sent a pacifier to calm us down.


Beside....you are already under Yoruba occupation when Oranmiyan became your king. That was also "accompanied" by an act of pacification using ekaladheran as a hoax to settle the foreigner on Edoland with no problem.

Guy, if you are using a smart phone to type all these crap, Google dictionary is just one click away. Stop shaming yo-ROBBER people now haba!

So at your age, you don't know the meaning of 'marched on'? No Yorubastard tribe could have ever marched on the great Benin, not possible, never recorded in history.

Yoruba has effectively suffered colonization twice at least on official records. The Edos first colonized Yoruba which lasted several centuries while at the same time, maintaining diplomatic and trade relations with the whites(Portuguese). And with Portuguese guns, Bini established its dominion and chokehold on Yoruba people. The evidence of this colonization is clearly seen in the cultures, customs and dressing patterns of the people of Owo who share striking similarities with their Edo lords and masters.
Second colonization of Yoruba came from the British. You already know that story.

We were suzerains over you and your territory for ages. Bow to your kings!!!

This exactly is the type of stupidity your Oba displayed wheb he wrote that book. Both of you share a similarity of looking at Ife history from the outside. Sorry to burst your bubble, it works differently.

As for what you emboldened in my previous post. Your king’s progenitor was a Yoruba man, hence, he is Yoruba. Also, Kings own the lands & the people in it. It is not a problem if Yoruba folks think Oba Bini is Yoruba & consequently, Bini [not edo] & the people is Yoruba.

Please tell us what Yoruba town attacked Ife ever, use a source please. And your lack of ability to read is why you do not know Ife is made up of Ugbo, including Oduduwa. And only one section of Ugbo wanted rotation of crown between the 13 Ugbo communities to continue as opposed to having a paramount king. This group were from Iwinrin quarters. They didn’t even come to attack Ife, they periodically came to worship some deities at intervals from Igbo forest [still in Ife]. It was the costume they wore to hide their identity which caused chaos in Ife who attacked, captured them & revealed their identities. They were taken back t their quarters and other Ugbos appeased them to come back home. Most moved back & the remnant are those who left the Igbo forest & moved on to where they are now.

You have again shifted you line a little forward to include core research not in web links and free books.

Indeed, your level of intellect is pitiably nose facing the gutters. You are exactly the type of beans scholars whose quackery make white people believe that blacks are incapable of doing proper academic work.

You shamelessly stated it elsewhere that Yoruba dubious authors always went to the Benin palace to gather information, only for them to go skew whatever information they got to paint a less glorious picture of the kingdom; something the immediate past Oba felt was a drift which needed urgent correction, and thus decided to write his own perspectives about his ancestors and their origins. The very source those foolish Yoruba authors went to is now the one coming out with the true picture of what they had always told those Yoruba distorters, but because, many of you have already been programmed and conditioned to propagate lies, you claim the source is wrong, but what your own people brought out of the same source is correct. Isn't that thoroughly stupid and yet you come here to announce yourself as an intellectual. I've told you, stop arrogating scholarship to yourself, at best you're only a local herbs mixer in a little hut in ile ife where you engage in dubious historical fabrication.

When it comes to this particular topic, I would NEVER accept anything coming from a Yoruba that doest tally with the stories coming from Benin.

Waste your time here from now till eternity, you cannot change that. The Edos are very patriotic to their culture and customs and would NEVER accept garbages slipping in from outside especially Yoruba crooked quacks. So keep blabbing.

Let me restate it again, there's nothing like Yoruba history- its a fraud perpetrated for several years. What you fools now call Yoruba history is only a collection of fairytales with divergent versions and editions. I've never seen anywhere there has been an abuse of history than with the Yoruba. I told you guys earlier, streamline your Oduduwa perspective first before you can be taken serious. You are currently painting yourselves as comedians before the world.

The several poster had only succeeded in adding salt to injury. They were utterly incoherent and dubious just like yourself. Contradictions were like rastals all through their arguments.

Because most of what you people call stories are actually things that never happened but were purely the figment of the imagination of certain people, that's why the stories lack alignment and currency.

Just the way a country comes up with national symbols such as national anthems, design of flags, coat of arms and the likes, that's the same way Yoruba people formulated most of those stories to fit into a picture they are frantically trying to sell to the world about being a great tribe. You find artifacts and then spin a story around it. Till eternity, Yoruba would never achieve unity in their historical perspectives.

Again, we cannot wave off what the Olugbo or the Alaafin of Oyo is saying. They are calling attention to grave historical distortions and imposition in Ife. And as far as objectivity is concerned, the ooni has questions to answer. He must tell everyone who he really is and where he came from. That he is a slave is no longer in doubt, but what is crying for explanation is where is he from. Where was he bought from and how did he get himself accepted as king. These are what he is being told to elaborate on that he has been running away from. Alaafin is number one monarch in yorubaland while Oduduwa's roots remain in Benin.

As for what you emboldened in my previous post. Your king’s progenitor was a Yoruba man, hence, he is Yoruba. Also, Kings own the lands & the people in it. It is not a problem if Yoruba folks think Oba Bini is Yoruba & consequently, Bini [not edo] & the people is Yoruba.

Please tell us what Yoruba town attacked Ife ever, use a source please. And your lack of ability to read is why you do not know Ife is made up of Ugbo, including Oduduwa. And only one section of Ugbo wanted rotation of crown between the 13 Ugbo communities to continue as opposed to having a paramount king. This group were from Iwinrin quarters. They didn’t even come to attack Ife, they periodically came to worship some deities at intervals from Igbo forest [still in Ife]. It was the costume they wore to hide their identity which caused chaos in Ife who attacked, captured them & revealed their identities. They were taken back t their quarters and other Ugbos appeased them to come back home. Most moved back & the remnant are those who left the Igbo forest & moved on to where they are now.

Hahahaha, see how you finally commit intellectual harakiri - ripping your stinky belly out.

You don't want us to look at Ife history from an outside perspective, but you are here just like your brainless Yoruba compatriots advancing you putrid views about Bini/Edo from an outside perspective.

If I cannot tell ife story from an outsiders perspective, then you clearly do not have the right to tell Edo story being a bloody outsider yourself. And isn't it a case of senility for you to now claim the very number one insider-the Oba of Benin is wrong fro. His own direct sources.

So you now expect us to open our doors to allow pillagers like you come in, see A and report B. You must be sick!

Oh so Akure, Ondo were not part of pre-colonial Ekiti land? You and all your brothers you mentioned should be ashamed of yourselves..
Anyways Benin Conquered all of Eastern Yoruba.. The fear of Benin was the beginning of wisdom of your ancestors, a fear which lingered on till you were set free by the British..
Please also get it into your blockhead that it was Benin soldiers that helped you guys in your fight against Ibadan..

Davidzee or Davidnazee is a bloody clown. It is better he change his name/monicker to Davidedo grin ,since do do do are prevalent in their lexicon. He should not be taken serious, in whatsoever.

Cheers.

In the meantime, this is how Yoruba kings degrade royalty by engaging in frivolities with commoners.

This is the Oba of Lagos and Tinubu's son.
There is no where in the whole world where kings indulge in public show of shame like this other than in yorubaland. Yet they say they have a history. History my foot!
