Now look at his head carefully. He wears the Mali turban. Not the dan fodio turban.

But you dont know the difference because you are uncivilized in the political affairs of West Africa.

BabaRamota1980:
Steve ekaladehran,
Compare the Alake with this guy here...

This guy has a message for you... The position of the mask is a message for you. If it pains you that he wears this mask on his blokos go and snatch it back.

I tell you man, Igalas are bast3rds.
They dont talk....they just act!

MayorofLagos:
You are the one in need of help.

The guy declared that by time he finished with Ekhaladeran all your pride in his legendary will evaporate. True to his word when he finished no Edo has again mentioned the word E K H A L A D E R A N....none! The pages are there is you care to go back and review. All of you came in blazing about Ekhaladeran and his founding of Uhe. His name taste sour in your mouth now because the guy you call inconsequential successfully dealt you blows and shut you up about your legend of Uhe.

Inconsequential indeed!

Moorish:
Maybe I am just different

But..

It always left a sour taste in my mouth whenever I decimated another human being physically or psychologically

Well.. except females (A different sort of decimation )

Anyway..

I do not feel good knowing I belittled another man

But I understand a man is a being of immense pride and honor

Willing to fight to the death in Defence of Honor

But sometimes you should control your very ego

The act of making peace, is a very honorable trait

Moorish:
This pointless tussle

A question for the "warriors" tho

VPN or no VPN

If I told you I could expose your exact locations; Longitude and Latitude

Would you back up your positions and insults?

Or cower and hide like the online warriors you are

BabaRamota1980:
Do you know the meaning of tuba?
Oya so fun Edo ko wa tuba.

If this means that much to you tell Edos to come confess their witchery and commit never to bother Yoruba again.

davidnazee:
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.

Moorish:
Two wrongs can never make a right

My heart bleeds for the black nation

If we were as useless as our enemies desperately want us to think

I would have given up

But I have ancient proof of our greatness

I can never give up

Even if only 1% hear and accept

Would you consider uniting and making peace with all black men and women today?

My bro?

Moneywomen17:
trash from mumorish

Moorish:
I will soon actually

I have a woman in my bed who I plan to make passionate love to when she wakes

She is lightskinned, thick, and extremely cute

I advise you to find same in your life, Warrior

Favor99:
I wish more of our people were as enlightened as you. I salute you bro. Are you full Yoruba or are you part Yoruba, part Edo?

To The other tribalists on this thread and on nairaland: Shame on You!
Moorish is thinking reasonably and making peace and trying to unite us, while dimwit lost tribalists are playing into the enemy’s hands, always fighting

Obalufon:
.

Edo hate Yoruba I haven't seen a thread where Edo talk evil about IBO's despite our historic tie and geographical closeness

MayorofLagos:
Unlike Olfert Dapper who has never stepped foot in Benin but gave illustrations of "walls that are washed and polished to look like mirror", here, from those on the ground and in contact with Benin, are true accounts of what they saw.

MayorofLagos:
Do you realize how he has tactically deconstructed and destroyed your Ekhaladeran? He has successfully convinced those who previously thought your hoax had any shred of truth to now have a rethink, people who would not ordinarily ask questions about such things are now awakened and wondering why, in a hierarchical and patrilineal society where a male child is golden, that a father would kill his only son in order to have more? He did great damage to your hoax when he used the analogy of a house owner burning down his property so he could acquire means to build more.

You call him inconsequential You need your head examined.

All these Bini hacks with unintelligent responses.

A simple google search about Historians in Nigeria would have helped you.

Apart from Kenneth Dike, Afigbo, Abdulahi Smith & a few others of non-Yoruba origin, the number of Historians who are Yoruba is high & they are in high demand in the Americas & Europe. You can look them up, be useful to yourself.

As for material historical evidences, Yoruba has obelisks, arts in stone, wood, clay & metals. As for recorded evidence, Yoruba has Ifa which everyone is dying to learn even in the 21st century. What do the Edo/Bini have? A art that is an appendage of the Yoruba; a monarchy that is an appendage of the Yoruba & indigenous religion filled with gods in the Yoruba pantheon. Bini’s relevance revolves around its connection with Yoruba. Look up olokun head, that work is dated to be from very many centuries ago yet it t was so intensely made that it trounces any work out of Africa including Bini - fact.

Where is the interest in Yoruba history, you ask? This is a foolish question but do you know how many research papers or books published almost yearly on Yoruba? Do you know how many foreign scholars made their career out of Yoruba history? Let me give you an illustration so you’ll understand. Bini had a sustained contact with Europeans from about the 15th/16th century meanwhile Europeans had contact with Yoruba proper just starting from the 19th century and they havee been crazy about Yoruba history ever since. For starters google Leo Fobrenius & Dierk Lange. JDY Perl wrote Yoruba history till he passed in the early 2000s. P. Verger, Ulli Bierer, Morton & Frank Willet all did Yoruba history their entire lives. Recently, there are the Sustan Preston & a bunch of caucasians digging into Yoruba history. Apart from the early researchers such has Smith, Bradbury, Lloyd please give us a list of people interested in Bini history, I’ll wait

Nobody is stopping Bini from selling its own history. The problem here is that it contradicts what was dug around Bini & your palace; it contradicts archeological datings of materials found in your own place; it contradicts tests done on soil layers and resulting periods of occupation; it contradicts the data your king, palace chiefs & old men gave in the old days; it contradicts records in the archives and museums herein Naija & overseas. Do you see why no one is interested in your king’s book & the history at that? Do you see why researchers avoid that story, it can ruin a researcher’s career in an instant! . See, your falsehood stories have a lot of material & non-material data given to Europeans by your own forefathers to contend with. Maybe your forefathers should not have assisted the Europeans in the research works conducted decades ago.

BabaRamota1980:
Dem no born dem well to mention ekladeran in my presence. I go start afresh and even show things that I kept quiet about.

Edo don buy market.

Sons of a dimwit ogiso!

Olu317:
Nope 1472 Read again, I said ‘before' 1475;....Bini didn't get to Lagos until late 17th century... Your falsehood is outrageous.

Favor99:
I’m Edo(Esan) and I love the Yorubas. I always bring up our historical relationship to Yorubas I meet. We’re brothers. Similarly I love all Nigerians, Igbos, Yoruba, Ijaw, Edo, Uhrobo, Istekiri, Ibibio Efik Fulani Hausa Tiv
We need to stop fighting one another.

We never had animosity like this before the white man came and put enmity between us. Let’s empower and uplift ourselves. We’re doing more harm than good when we divide ourselves.

And I don’t know why Yorubas and Edos are fighting given our cultural and historical similarities.

As blacks we should learn and put our differences aside and unite. Whites are successful because even though they fought and hated each other, they viewed the man of color as a common enemy, so they United

Moneywomen17:
corny motherfucker u are

davidnazee:
The Yorubas started this with their feel good agenda.
How can they turn a Thank you visit by the Great Oba of Benin to Ife, turned it into the Oba going to pay homage? who does that?

davidnazee:
Which is worse: dimwit Ogiso or a Slave Oni?
A dimwit Ogiso can be replaced but a Slave Oni will bring forth more Slave Onis.. You Yorubas will forever be ruled by a Slave.

davidnazee:
So you mean the Alake was a Malian? chai.. even Mali conquered and ruled your ancestors..

BabaRamota1980:
Ooni is co-chairman of Nigerian Traditional Rulers. Anywhere traditional rulers assemble in Nigeria Ooni sit ahead of your king. If there are not enough chairs your Oba must stand.

Get sense....

BabaRamota1980:

Ekladheran you always enjoy my flogging.

Yes Malian brought us Islam, and there was no conquest. They came as traders and travellers and were our guests in Ilorin which was an ancient trade route into and out of Yorubaland. Their presence amongst us led to cultural exchange and Islam. Yoruba has never been Islamized by conquest. Never in our history.

The same cannot be said of Edo.

Nupe entered Edoland and Islamized you through conquest.

If you like deny it so I can open a fresh evidence on your sufferheaf in the hands of Tapa warriors.

As many times you invite me to flogg you I will cherishly oblige.
