BabaRamota1980:
Ekladheran, i have a question for you.

Look at these words, they are attributes to personify an subject.

"A soldier's soldier"
"A kingly king"
"Putt-putt"

"Igodomigodo"

What is Igodo?

Let me forewarn you. This is a trap question. grin
David Ekladerahn, you might have inherited some of the genes from that dimwit ogiso owodo but i know you can see. Did you not see my question above. This is third time i post it. grin grin. Dont vex me. Answer the question.
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by BabaRamota1980: 1:48am On Jun 10, 2018
Tell me what Igodo mean in tour language. Tell what Edo mean in your language. Tell who brought Olokun to your land, and you are not a sea people. Where did you get Ifa from? Stop dodging and if you dont know tell Steve Owodo to come and answer it. grin grin
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by BabaRamota1980:
Hhmm... cheesy

This mask has history. Everybody know of the British punitive expedition and carting away of masks from a palace. Long long before that....the Igalas were the first to raid that same palace.

In this picture this was a facial mask used only by the King of that palace to cover face when in public. See where this Attah dey take am cover. grin grin.

Oba face must not be seen in public
Attah blokos sef must not show..

And Atakpame is an independent nation? Those Yorubas in countries u mentioned are all independent nations?
And to show how much of a mugu u are.. Those people u mentioned in South America went there themselves from Ife to form independent nations? Are Yorubas the only tribes exported as slaves from Africa? Maybe Igbos can claim independent Igbo nations too in South America then abi.. Which Yorubas are in North America? Are u refering to the ones that travel there with visas? Every national is in North America mugu..
You can continue celebrating your enslavement its your choice I don't care but you still don't make any sense at all..
Just imaging ,who is engaging me? So, you dont know yorubas are in North America? Doubt and google Yorubas in North America. After, you must have done this, You will definitely hate yourself more being Edo cheesy grin because of hatred and jealousy against Yoruba s. Again, you unintelligently inferred about nation as if all the people living in many African nations is homogeneous in nature. I am doubtful of you being studious because a lot of people,who are conversant with Nigeria history know that the Yoruba starting from Cotonou, Ketou/Ketu Atakpame ( IFE Togo) through to Ghana were cut off from their main stream Yoruba ethnicity which was due to land dermacation in 1884/85 by Europeans, does it mean they don't see themselves as people from same Yoruba stock? In fact, Atapkame Call themselves IFE people. This is how much they love associating with their ancestral history . Can such be said about Edos,with the exception of Oba Bini that always associate with Oranmiyan, who was a son of Ogun, one of the sons of Odudua? Mugus as all of are thought Odudua was the father of oranmiyan. Anyway I know the Edo is less than 3,000,000 population ( All the tribes in Edo) because she is a depopulated tribe that has more females than males grin.

BabaRamota1980:
Yoruba maintained a respectful dialogue but Edo went into the gutter to throw out filth. We went in there with them. Like I said, it is not going to be sweet and romancing in here. This is a slug fest, exactly like you called it. Those looking for romance should not come in, or stay in. grin
u couldn’t be more right. Edo got dirty we got more dirty than them by now they would have expected us to back off but I can tell u that will not happen for sure and if moorish is looking for romance like u said he should go somewhere else cuz there is no romance here.

BabaRamota1980:
I believe you are positioning yourself as some kind of referee in an issue that is already decided and every Yoruba that has posted in here have said we are ready to stay deep and far into this, however long it goes, and will not back off before the opponent has yielded their ground.

You are wasting time making this a moorish-babaramota issue. grin

We have definitely not assigned a referee. If you are unable to wothstand whats going on please excuse yourself from the ttread.

We are not backing off before the other side. Period! If im the last man standing here...I will carry tje Yoruba staff till the END!
no referee needed cuz like u said we are not backing off simple as that

I have a problem with the nostalgic nationalism we are displaying here

What would the pride of Mongolia do for a present day Mongolian?

What about the Iranian of Ancient Persia?

Does national pride in their ancestral kingdoms do anything for them today? Except delusions of grandeur and unbridled pride and arrogance?

I would much rather learn from those great kingdoms of times past, be knowledgeable of their successes and failures and adapt them to create a more comfortable life for myself and my loved ones today!

A Quest for the Yorubas today. Learn how the Sungbo Eredo was Built in that ancient time. The technologies, the architecture as well. Then adapt them today to build greater Monuments

A quest for the Edos today. Learn how the Great Walls of Benin (Comparable in size to Great Walls of China By the way!) were built, what technologies were used, their architectures, and adapt them today to build greater Monuments

These people na small pikin compared to Yoruba nau. Beside the Oba, witchcraft, selling pussy in Libya and Italy, what else Edo get? Nothing.

They see other people poking Yoruba in the eye and no consequence so they want to join and poke us too. Thats how I view their opposition to Yoruba. Can Edo measure up to any other state in the South? No. So we should view them as small pikin, our small brother, and show pity and kindness to their situation.

My Yoruba brothers abeg release them, let them go bac to worshipping their Oba. I take Oduduwa beg una. Im sure they have learnt their lesson from this face off and will be guarded about utterances against Yoruba.

Oduduwa a Gbe wa o!

Edo people make una open hear listen well well. Yoruba no need you, nothing you get wey we no get in abundance and even at superior scale and authority. Just because we call you our cousins no mean say we go become your foot mat. Una suppose to join with us sef fight other people here but instead na una go camp with others begin ridicule Yoruba. Una don miss road. See as everybody dey progress around you but you dey one spot since 1700 and even now sef una still dey carry nonsense for head instead of join with us and lets do to Edo politically what we have done to progress Yorubaland in politics. Your Oba and Oyo Oba na same father born them. Compare where Oyo state dey and look where Edo state dey. You cant be left behind. Make una take this to be lesson learnt and leave my people alone. We no bother you, why una dey always find our trouble? Make we allow peace.

Waado!

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Nobody:
Bendel still sounds loud to my ears. For your info, Edo state is quite a new state. Before it was Bendel state which comprised the current Edo-state and Delta-state. And Before it was the Benin Kingdom which comprised Bendel, Lagos, Ondo and a huge swath of some more territory as shown in the precolonial maps. You know nothing about the Edo.
You guys keep confusing Edo-state with Edo. And for your info, the highest number of prostitutes in nigeria is yoruba !
Edo is a nationality, such as french, or english or chinese ... You are an Edo if you are a citizen of Benin Kingdom.
yoruba is a new name which didn't exist untill the early 19th century. yoruba is an artificial name while Edo is a real name with a real history behind it.

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Nobody: 12:51pm On Jun 10, 2018
Basically, the rise to fame of the yoruba is: "we are better than the Edo" or "the Oba of Benin is yoruba" or "Benin art is actually yoruba art" ...
I don't know if we Edo should take this as flattery or harassment.
But anyway, yoruba should feel free to identify itself without using our Edo culture and history.
yoruba is a very young name but sometimes babies need to learn how to walk on their own.
so yoruba, waka waka ...

I am always amazed at how modest the Edo King is.
I wonder how it must feel to know you directly descend from Oba Ovonramwen and his ancestors and that your ancestors ruled a powerful and rich Kingdom which had its own strong military and fought and won wars.
How must it feel to know that the british museum is filled with your family treasures which used to decorate your great-grand fathers house, your ancestral house aka the Benin palace ?
How must it feel to know your ancestors used to live in a very large and very old palace which was also very beautiful and mervelled all the european visitors ?
How must it feel to know that unlike current african regimes, your ancestors had actual souvereignty ?
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Nobody:

Well it does feel good and nostalgic but nostalgia is hardly tangible

What would be great is researching those great architectures, arts etc and re-building mighty civilization

That would be true purpose
