we have animal living among us ..like this edo people they are not human
Your words emanated from a place of hatred

not reason

I hope we can all conquer the negative energies we have

I also suffer same, so we are in thesame boat

However....

I have chosen the path of peace not confrontation

You are christian I suppose

Your master scribe admonished the path of peace and forgiveness

Try it

You could be a fierce warrior who has killed a many Men

However, even the fiercest warriors were smitten by a baby's smile, or the love of a woman

Love>>>>Hate

We can DIALOGUE

Igbos and Edos will come to the table if we use our well known God given talent

DIPLOMACY
I will advice u to read history well first edo na small boy for Nigeria no need to dialogue with them second read Nigeria history relating to ibo and the Yoruba there is no dialogue let everybody face his own business simple as that. A lot of young Yoruba are tackling Yoruba problem in this geographical expression called Nigeria and we will solve it without involving saboteurs called “south”

Edos are hardly small

They are the only tribe in the south who resisted slavery

Edo descendants are not in the new world

#FACT

Unlike most of you, I am willing to accept truth

The ancient British were former Barbarians relative to the Mighty Romans

They then grew from barbarians to sire the greatest Empire known till date

I am slightly indifferent towards the past

However

I learn lessons from it

And press towards the future

When a man hates you pity him

The one who hates is the one in misery

However if you channel the hatred you feel into productivity

That is the true revenge and Holy Retribution

Yes, the Edos are suffering today

I was speaking about Edo Pre-colonial history

They were THE sovereign force in Pre colonial Nigeria when the British came

This was hard for me to accept as a proud Oyo, trust me

The Benins can choose to be arrogant and proud about this pre-colonial history to their own detriment

As for me

However...

I will learn from my failures

I will learn from the successes of my contemporaries

I refuse to remain nostalgic

Living in the past and being arrogant about the accomplishments of other people in earlier times

I will rather study their failures and successes

That is why the US government spends billions on ancient military histories

Sounds like you are sounding a war drum

I do not do such

I learned from the best warriors

Some who disgraced me in my ignorant past

They "Underpromise and Overdeliver"

Some men in arguements voke and voke, threaten and belittle the quiet enemy

I have seen it a many times

The seemingly docile and quiet enemy swiftly proceeds to remove their body parts with a sharp weapon

Killing the naive bully without uttering speech

By the coming of the British edo were already weak so how are they the sovereign force u are a joker and just cuz u keep calling urself oyo son doesn’t mean u have any sense up in ur head.

Ok

So answer me this

If we were more sovereign than Edo

Why were Igbo and Yoruba sons and daughters sold in millions to the new world

Yet Edo were impervious to same unfortunate event?

I tell you why

The Edo territory had rubber

Palms

Ivory

and pepper

The white man needed those

Like I alluded to earlier

I told Edos not to feel overtly superior to others

Their territory, since time past has had immense blessings

Even today

Delta has Crude oil...

Oyo were fierce in war

I take immense pride in my warrior heritage

I am from Ogbomosho

My family house is Ile Ijato

I know my roots

However, I also know of the unfortunate events that have shaken our people

We need to heal and rebuild friend

I do not care for Igbo or Edo or whatever

I am saying Oyo is not above failures

And I study those

Edo, if they are wise, will also try and rebuild their once great Empire

Rather than relish in past glories

However, the time now is very crucial

Southern Nigeria Need to be politically astute

The north are playing you guys against yourselves!

again another stupid saying. Look at yoruba history and look at the time yoruba were sold to the new world it was during the collapse of oyo empire when Yoruba were fighting each other. Most Yoruba sold to the new world were casualty of the Yoruba civil war and sold late that’s why yoruba culture is strong in the new world cuz up till the last minutes of slavery Yoruba were not casualty of slave trade I will really advise u to read instead of making dumb statements here and there thinking u are saying some intelligent words

don’t need to know ur unnecessary information but like I said the war is inevitable and it will surely happen whether in a decade or less or more. Like the aare gani said Yoruba prepare for 7 days of war for 7 years if it will happen in decade it’s inly cause we are preparing.

I slightly chuckled at your words

Because we are essentially saying thesame thing

Yoruba had fallen apart when whitey came

Edo, meanwhile were busy crowning their 3rd Monarch

Ovonramwen...

Who would also suffer similar unfortunate fate to the Oyo in later years

however the Edo kingdom of Benin was intact and united when the pale skin man came here

We, in contrast were so disorganized our albino enemy was the one who "reconciled" us

Do you brothers ever ponder on the universal beauty of the black woman?

How does she feel seeing her god the black man subservient to a man he is superior to both mentally and physically?

Just because you gods do not know how to unite and build bridges

For 2000 years us and our fathers getting f.ucked in the ass by mutants we civilized

Wake up black man
At a time Africans should come together and emancipate themselves from mental slavery and suppression the western world have subjected us to the Yorubas still prefer to continue worshipping their white masters because it makes them feel superior.
The world is about to jump another 1000yrs forward in technological development, the question is will Africa be left behind??

I can never be in the same train of thought with a dumbass like u. Yoruba were going through a civil war like hundreds of civilization even the French still went through civil war as late as 20c. U said if we are a sovereign why were we sold to the new world I gave u a befitting explanation. Even the Benin were conquered easily by the British cuz of the betrayer in their rank meanwhile British had to conquer Lagos separately in a war they had to fought ijebu seperaty in a alwar and the egba were sovereign until the 1914 amalgamation so like I said read and talk about things u know about

shut the Bleep up the north the Igbo all of them are all Yoruba enemy. I know the north well myself and I also know the rest of the tribe too as well. Go to the average street of Yoruba and tell me the Yoruba that “love” northerner thesame north we call aboki and gworo chewer. Only politics bring Yoruba and north together and until 2015 yoruba has made no such alliance with the north check well the history of Nigeria if u are too dumb to know majority of when north rule they mostly have an ibo vice not Yoruba. U do not know the north more than me nor do u know the ibo and other tribe more than me yoruba are in a mess but the solution remain with Yoruba not some enemies called “southern tribe”
You really are ignorant.. the reason other Nigerian tribes are wary of the Yorubas is the they see Yorubas as the tool the North use in oppressing the rest of Nigeria.. The Yorubas are sell outs.
Do u think the Northerners could have been able to have a hold over the south if the Yorubas have refused to work with them?
