Kindly find no offence in what he said because these set of Edos before now have falsely lied about Yorubas ,to a large extent. Did you see one of them threatening me ? BabaRamota ,only mock them and inform. I wish you came across threads like this in the past, you would had thought their version of Odua was true but no! their version of the storyline isn't true. Some of us are from Odua lineage either through his patrilineal or matrilineal descendants.While scholars have taken time to do excavations in ILE IFE and BINi to test, which is older. And from radio carbon test, proof IFE Arts is superior to Edos. This is one out of the reason that we must correct such fallacy.

The one thing with life is that when all you do is tell lies, simple available facts then tend to become hard for you to grasp.
How many times do I have to inform these yoruba with identity crisis and lack of truth dna that Benin bronzes was not dug up, it was decorating Oba palace and stolen right there by the british !
Is this so hard to understand ?
Now you want to compare dug up things in ife with the fourniture of Oba Ovonramwen, go ahead ...I just wonder which sense it makes though.
I am not even going to enter any such comparison, I just don't see the point entering a non logical debate based on emotions.
The yoruba here have more than once admitted that they are trolls, why are we still feeding them ?

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.
Just imaging your ignorance? Portuguese was already in Lagos before 1475 nd the same Portuguese got to Bini 1485 . How did Bini met Portuguese before Yoruba( Aworis)? Have you not read that Aworis met potoki(portugues) before Bini met them ? Google is your Friend on this or better still Portuguese archives recorded it .Rui de Sequeira visited the area in 1472, naming the area around the city Lago de Curamo. Funny enough, Bini that have it on record that Portuguese met Bini in 1485 are now claiming Portuguese met them before Yorubas . samuk, all your lies and other Edos that twist history are busted grin .

And the same Lagos was part of Benin Kingdom, that is what thé portuguese maps among others showed. Once again, simple available fact. The portuguese met no awori in Lagos, they met Edos.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

Family houses were divided into three sections: the central part was the husband’s quarters, looking towards the road; to the left the wives’ quarters (oderie), and to the right the young men’s quarters (yekogbe).

Daily street life in Benin City might have consisted of large crowds going though even larger streets, with people colourfully dressed – some in white, others in yellow, blue or green – and the city captains acting as judges to resolve lawsuits, moderating debates in the numerous galleries, and arbitrating petty conflicts in the markets.

The early foreign explorers’ descriptions of Benin City portrayed it as a place free of crime and hunger, with large streets and houses kept clean; a city filled with courteous, honest people, and run by a centralised and highly sophisticated bureaucracy.
[quote][/quote]The fabulous tales of Olfert Dapper, this is what intoxicates Edo into thinking they are a great society.

"walls that are washed and shined to look like mirrors" Descriptions from a man that never set foot in Africa, much so Bini. If he had visited he would have known to include RED as part of the so called colorful dressing rather than feeding us illustrations from his hallucinations.

ImperialYoruba:
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!
Comparing Edo state to other Yoruba states in terms of developments and revenue generation, Edo beats all except Ogun state, so don`t deceive yourself.. You can go check it out for yourself.
If you calling our women prostitutes that fine, go ahead, but don`t forget that Yoruba wives are the highest adulterous women in Nigeria, cheating on your fathers`destinies.. That too is a fact!!

If you like promote your art works, its your duty as a Yoruba to do that.. But it doesn`t change anything.. Edo arts are more regarded and revered and renowned than Yoruba arts.. Apart from maybe archaeologists, common people don`t know and have never heard of Yoruba arts..
Edo arts are regarded to be valuable than any Yoruba arts.

You are the new ekladheran on the block.

You are descendant of the dimwit ogiso owodo. Edo has no monarchy.

Anyway, what is Igodo, give us its meaning if you are truly proyd of your history.
While you are waiting for your answer on Igodo, maybe you should take time to reminiscence on why your weak and cowardly ancestors will accept to be known as Yoruba. A degrading and demeaning name handed to you by your Hausa/Fulani masters. Any honorable man or tribe will reject to be identified by a degrading name but you Yorubas accepted it because weakness and suppression is your character.

Only to the Yorubas are the Ife arts (that is if there is even any at all) superior to the Edos.. Worldwide Edo arts are more known and regarded than any art from Yoruba so why would I be bother by your rants? Dude nobody knows anything about Yoruba art..

So it was the Aworis you say the Portuguese met in Lagos in 1475 that told the Portuguese Lagos belongs to Benin Kingdom? because the Portuguese reported Lagos as being under the control of Mighty Benin Kingdom.

Universally accepted fact is Great Benin Kingdom conquered and ruled the Yorubas for about 500years..
Benin Kingdom was more advanced than any Yoruba Kingdom.
Oduduwa is an Edo prince.
Better still for us Edo is that the whole world knows this fact as witnessed and documented in early times, unlike the Yoruba history that just started yesterday.

But in this thread facts don't matter.. The Yorubas will not accept the truth about their past as a conquered and subjugated tribe.. So lets leave facts out of it and just stick to name calling and insults.. I have abundance of that for the Yorubas.

For the Yorubas please tell me, why does other Nigerian tribes see you people as a very Useless and Cowardly tribe?
Nobody fears the Yorubas at all..

shut up there fool another lie made popular by u and ur fellow edo fools. The name Yoruba was first written down in the treatise written by the Songhai scholar Ahmed baba way back in the 16th century when he visited oyo empire to refer to the people of oyo. The oyo told him they were Yoruba and that’s what he wrote down not the other way around. U tell strangers who u are cuz strangers do not name u. Yoruba is only a degrading name to a edo fool like u.

Well the only record of beheadings in Nigeria history is the Benin executions of Yoruba monarchs.. Dejis, Ewis, Oluyins, Baales, Obas were all beheaded by Benin.. mind you, the beheading wasn't done unfairly.. They were all tried in Benin courts and found guilty of standing up against Benin rule and subsequently sentenced to death by beheading.. only the Oluyin was sentenced to death by hanging..

Edos are not bandits, we are conquerors and administrators..
