No point in talking, reiterating on known obvious fact ..live and die in your believe is your right ,,but the truth and fact will always be told
That you know this and still choose to engage in your long walk of foolery is a testament to the peculiarity of your delusion.
Effectively, you are only able to influence and change only your opinions.

Truth is Yoruba never gave Edo cloth, exporting of clothing was a major source of income for Benin kingdom in the 16th century. The clothing was exported to Yoruba lands.
The Ife arts excavated in early 20th century were dated to the 12th century. Benin arts are much older than that. None of the Ife arts found were dated older than benin’s..
if Ife have art works older than any of Benin art works it is yet to be found.
the Yorba of ife have no art work, please don't confuse excavation with actual fourniture decorating a palace. Edo artwork was stolen from Oba palace whereas "ife artwork" was excavated and nothing indicates that it belongs to the people who were living in ife when the excavation took place. It is more likely that it is a remnant of Benin empire. If the yorubad had artwork, then it would have been found by the brits without recourse to excavating .

This people are commedians honestly.

Imagine anyone disputing the greatest culture, arts and antifacts dating back to over 10,000 before Christ.

If this culture was not spread beyond Nigeria into other African countries, Europe and America; these midgets standing on the shoulder of Giants would be shouting they could see further than the giants.

This deceptive culture is what is killing arts and science in Nigeria. Every discovery, invention and skill are not trusted by international community, just because of people like these.

Bini e-warriors might succeed with lesser cultures, not the Oba culture from Yoruba that propelled into prominence.

No Yoruba art was dated to 10,000bc so please stop ur foolishness. The few Yoruba arts that were excavated (2 heads and 3 calabash) were dated to the 12th century so why this foolish talk of 10,000bc?
Also the only giant in pre colonial West Africa was Mighty Benin Kingdom.

don't pay too much attention to the Yorba emotional ranting. They invented 419 and all sorts of scam, they spend their time trying to rewrite history to their advantage and they keep accusing others of crimes committed only by Yorba. Come on

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by banku: 3:57pm On Jul 13, 2018
Sometime I wonder if it's worth it arguing with this usurpers.

Ife is too ancient to compare to Bini, the name given to you by the same Ife.

You guys should try a more recent Sugbon Eredo and compare Bini's age, space and class. These guys are descendants of peasants used by Yoruba Oba for dirty jobs.

I cannot imagine a Bini royal blood with Yoruba name up to present arguing against or pointing left finger to his father's house.

How can u give us cloth when in fact it was Benin exporting clothing for sale to Yorubas? No need to talk too much just do a little research and u will find out it was Benin that actually clothed Yoruba although We didn’t do it for free.
Benin and Ife may have exchanged ideas which is normal between countries but saying Ife gave Benin everything is very wrong and shallow. Benin probably gave Ife more because Benin was a Mightier, stronger and wealthier than Ife..

Olokun Head was stolen.No where to be found till date. Have you heard of Osupa Ogio ..""The land moon"" huge crystal diamond 10 feet in diameter if not bigger in IFE-ILE USED As illuminating device at night it lit up the whole town .. Our bronze cast was so sophisticated and the realism is so appealing to the senses Even the white claimed they couldn't attain the level expertise of our bronze caster at that point in time nothing of such in Europe by that time ..they even conducted scientific test of the bronze head to understand how they were cast they want to know the dynamic of the metal

Please shut up about sugbon eredo. If u cannot give a detailed account of who built it, when it was built and the purpose for it then it is a useless structure and cannot be compared to Benin moats and rampants that have a story and rich history behind it.
The problem with you yorubas and ur structures is that it is full of darkness, no known history. Just like u said, Eredo is recent and also is Yoruba history which is recent to 17th century. Even Ife you don’t know who founded Ife or when.
There is no accurate accounts of early Yoruba people. Only savages are like that.
Yet u compare yourselves to Benin that is universally accepted as a civilized and mighty kingdom in ancient times.

Have you ever wondered why Benin was able to colonize and rule over vast parts of Yoruba lands?

Now it’s ADA you want to claim lol.
If we were advanced enough to have a flag for our kingdom then ADA cannot be from Yoruba. I’m waiting for you to claim our flag too.

Fables and fairytales again!! So crystal diamond light up a whole town? That only happens in fairy movies. I guess there are fairies in Ife then.
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Obalufon: 4:37pm On Jul 13, 2018
the curved sword or ada symbolized the power of the ancestors. After 1300 and the ascension of the dynasty founded by Oranmiyan, the ada became an important symbol of the power of the king or oba over his people. It is still carried before him by a sword bearer (omada) during royal public appearances. OMO ADA /OMO IDA Abbreviation Omada... come to ile- ife the real ADA is there resting ..laugh

The problem with Bini peasants is that they lack knowledge and totally ignorant of Yoruba history. They only make up and fabricate stories day by day.

Now they want me to teach them about Sugbon Eredo that existed before Oba you begged for from Ife civilized you.

Another Yoruba dynasty older than Bini is the mountain in Ile-Oluji where mountain was caved into tall building before Europeans built stairs.

Research is easier these days my friends.

If you gone through my post on this forum you would see why i posted it ...you're probably blind by jelousy....

U makes sculptures of our chiefs but deniles our imperial over ife the home of yoruba civilization
Its a pity the yorubas are lost and they are no where to be found they hold to a man from a foreign land as their creator when fact proves it he was simply a migrant from benin

We are not ignorant of Yoruba “No” history we just don’t care. It’s only ur lies and twisting of Edo history in relation to the Yorubas we setting straight.
As for your Eredo how come u claim to build a huge structure but yet it was a white man that went into the bush to poo that discovered it in 1960s.. isn’t it strange that Yoruba built that huge structure and didn’t know about it?
Even the said Eredo is not acknowledged and listed among unesco world heritage sites.
Which mountain did u carve into a tall building? Another fairytale again..

You people lie too much..

You invented a diamond crystal that light up a whole town.
You carved a very tall building out of a mountain.
Your art work is older than 10,000bc
Eredo Ijebu is the real Jerusalem and is called jebu isalem.
The skull of pre historic human/homo erectus is a Yoruba man.
Yorubas built pyramids of Egypt.

You lie too much. Na only una waka come?

Lol.....you talk like a child. “Post one of your artefacts that was carved out of stone”
The benin ada was made before odududwa emerged out of the womb.....

Ada and eben this was made during the ogiso era
Your kings beared edo names and you doubt you arent from edo ancestry ure a joke

That could be very true my brother .....very very true
If it was an art to show relevance why werw the excavated why weren't they kept scared like other art works ....it could be it was made by different people but got lost while travelling through ife ....they werent even found in oonis courtyard and do we have pple that made those art like seen in the benins
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by banku: 11:43pm On Jul 13, 2018
Point of correction:

For the record, I mistakenly stated Ile-Oluji. It should be Idanre!

Go to Idanre, the sight alone will mesmerize anyone.

Banku u have joined your brothers in the lies

Eredo that was formed not recently by this present ooni ....nevertheless i wanna see all the proves you all talks about even the so called chain oduduwa used in comming from sky...

But are you aware your brothers having been lieing about ogendegbe that he came to benin fir conquering nd benins begged not tohuh

Are you aware ile ife had no name untill oduduwa named it ile ni fe ( i ran to success) corrupted to ile ife (land of love)

Are you aware the ada and eben is older then ife art as whole which dates back during the ogiso era


Are you aware when the europeans are talking of african kingdoms ife or oyo kingdom is never mentioned untill when linked to benin issue

Are you aware benin were way more organised than oyo kingdoms ...we had symbol of authority, flags,guild's, moat walls

Lastly are you aware youre a benin descendant
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by banku: 2:15am On Jul 14, 2018
Bini peasants, those of you who could not even go near the Oba palace where the lingua franca is Yoruba, their names Yoruba, their gods Yoruba and their pride is based on Oba, have the audacity to be looking up to us calling us names, please I am not getting into street fight with you. Find your level.
