you are a fool ..Fulani never conquered yoruba it was Islamic war Yoruba had had Muslims among them for 400yrs before afonja if you don't know..ilorin declare independent from oyo, they tried to capture other cities under their caliphate ...Ibadan defeated them in oshogbo captured their senior generals and execute them read history ..
I already said it before that we should leave all these facts and evidence.. you don’t agree with my facts and I will not agree with yours. So let’s just stay in the gutter and continue the slug fest, fighting and calling each other names. I have a lot of mud for you.
You guys started it.

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
It is inconsequential either way

You want the Edos to say "Ahhh" okay, we agree that Yoruba were sovereign in pre-colonial times!!

Ok, Even if we were!

And so f.ucking what??

This did not stop the oppressor from sticking knives in our pregnant women on the slave ships

This did not stop the oppressor from raping our wives in our very faces

An enemy can oppress you so bad, and instill a massive FEAR in you that you start to develop a love for your enemy

You then, out of an inferiority complex hate on your very on brother

Ignoring the DEVIL that robbed your family first place

Hence

Biafra

Hence

The s.hithole Giant of africa

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?
davidnaze ur brain is not working I told u go to the street of Yoruba land talk to average Yoruba and see maybe they have love for north cuz I only see it on nairaland. Like I said ur train of thought and argument same as ibo no facts just billshit check the history of Nigeria presidency well from independence till now and tell me how many time yoruba has voted for an “alliance” with north now after that check ibo own then maybe u will get some much needed education

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”
Edo Na small boy but yet they conquered and ruled your ancestors for hundreds of years.. The fear and hatred towards Edo still lingers on among ur people for they can never forget that they were once subjects of mighty Benin Kingdom.

like I said u are unelightened and probably uneducated edo are a very small minority in Nigeria and have little to nothin to say about what goes on in Nigeria. And what do U mean only tribe who resisted slavery in south what the Bleep do u mean. Edo descendant in the new world are recen migration to Italy nothin more.
Edo State is more developed and richer than all Yoruba states except Ogun State.. That is a fact.

Well, I disagree

My experiences say different

Of the many travails I experienced in Edo territory

One incident stands out

A so called itshekiri man I would not mention his name I dunno who views these threads

This man was 10 years my senior

Beat me up almost an hour of punishment, over an innocent mistake

I taught I would die

Being an only son in a foreign land

I could not react for fear of a reprisal attack on my sisters and family

So I cannot agree with you that itshekiri people will always have my back

Because my experiences tell me different

That same itshekiri "brother" set me up in a robbery years after again

so Edo State is also richer than Lagos state joker. Ogun alone is twice as rich as ur inconsequential state where minority edo boys less than 3 million live

the itsekiri probably beat u up cuz of the trash that comes out from ur mouth so good for the itsekiri guy. If I see u in real life too I will probably do the same like the itsekiri guy cuz u are a dumbass

like I said unenlighten and uneducated u are what sovereign force are edo. What of the sokoto caliphate or the Borno kingdom what if the successor to the oyo empire Ibadan that was growing daily. 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.
That “Edo was weak” by the coming of the British is just a propaganda spread by the British. Go read the true British accounts of the Benin-British war.. Why do u think even the British themselves cannot forget that war?
The British confessed they fought a mighty army and they only won due to their superior weapons..
how do you fight a weak army using 9 warships, 2000 British marines and 10,000 soldiers?

FYI, I hope you don’t really believe Benin fought using bows and arrows lol.
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Moorish: 3:23am On Jun 11, 2018
It is 2018

And today, same as forever since time immemorial

An Edo man would find a betrayer within his own tribe

A "Yoruba" Man would also find an enemy from among his own kinsmen

Yet both will find a good Samaritan from a foreigner

That is the way life works

You men are here tirelessly "defending" your sub nations

With no commendation from your so called tribes

Yet your leaders are sleeping right now and you cannot

yes another trash by davidnaze why not say the use 100 warship then. Benin used less than 1000 thousand forces made up of more African than British. British doesn’t care about small edo to be using propaganda they tell the story of what they say nothing more they met efo already weak. Truth hurts

I pity you Yorubas beating war drums. If the war does happen, you will be sold into slavery again..
If you are looking at your British masters for help you will be mistaken. You have no bargaining power in this modern world.

David stop relishing in the past

If you know your were truly great why try to prove it to the naysayers?

I stopped trading insults with you and Steve because I am comfortable in my skin and my heritage

I appreciate you standing up for your culture, in the face of bullying attempts and insults

But remember that the "Yoruba" have thesame right as well

It is much harder to make peace than to fight a war

Why do I know this??

Because ice can quench a fire

when the last war happen in 1967 the only tribe enslaved were edo boys whose land was conquered less than 24 hours by biafra forces led by victor banjo. The same biafra that was sent packing by colonel iluyomade led forces when they try to invade ore. Benin boys u go still think say na joke ibo that could not conquer anybody in their pre colonial history conquered all not one was remaining every single one of ur town in less than 24 hours and occupied it. U know why cuz ibo are unified by common language they are 40 million strong and capable of providing large number of fighters compare to small edo less than 3 million. It’s also the same reason they couldn’t invade Yoruba cuz we are similar in number to them. Benin na booty war for modern day Nigeria if war should happen best believe that even ijaw will kick ur ass.

Liar ooo.. The greatest harm a man can do to himself is self deceit..
How did the British conquer Lagos? Akintoye signed Lagos over to the British.. The war the British fought in Lagos was to help Akintoye take the throne from Kosoko who was at that time the ruler of Lagos, He was Edo..
Kosoko with the help of Benin army had initially defeated Akintoye, crushed his fighters.. Akintoye took refuge on the British ship and it was on that ship he knelt down and begged the British for help promising if he wins he will sign Lagos over as a British protectorate.

see how u contradict urself cuz how dumb u are. Akitoye signed to the British after they help him defeat Kosoko to take the crown so its a coup by akitoye with the help of British to take the throne cuz Kosoko refuse to sign the treaty and maintain its sovereignty so it’s that not a fight or what. And stop ur nonsense none of those guys are edo they are descendants of ologun kuture like all king who has reign in Lagos since the death of ologun kuture.
