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.
Banku dont die of heart attack over Benin matter..
The lingua franca was never Yoruba.. It was only the Yoruba slaves employed in our palace that spoke yoruba language.
Ogun, Olokun are originally Benin gods exported to Yoruba.
Yes our Oba is our Pride.. Do u have any pride in your Ooni or any of your yoruba obas?

Don't you ever forget that Benin Kingdom conquered and ruled over your ancestors for hundreds of years..

I haven’t been or read the comments on this thread for almost 2 weeks. Didn’t care much for the level of disgusting tribalism on here.

But both sides, let’s put our differences aside. This fight is unnecessary and it’s not intelligent of us to be fighting each other. Instead let’s uplift each other up, respect each other’s cultures and unite.

Our ancestors got along and lived and respected one anothers tribe

Ever since the coming of the Europeans and their divide and rule tactics we’ve had animosity with each other.

We shouldn’t fight one another. We’re Nigerians, we’re Africans, we’re black

If you go to church and your a Christian then practice what your pastor preaches to you and spread love and unity and bonding.

Be optimistic and positive and show love to your brother regardless of tribe

No man is an island

My hatred for Europeans is also limiting

They are the most successful race presently

Benin was a light in these regions

Oyo was a formidable kingdom in the northern savanna

Don’t be hateful to yourselves

I don’t know the origin. What I do know is that we can’t let topics like this divide us and derail our relationship. Yorubas and Edo have been debating this for years. The debate used to be respectful, but now it’s turning into all out tribal bashing.

Unity is more important. We need to just settle this, that of course Edos are going to believe that Yorubas originated from them, and Yorubas are going to believe we Edos originated from them.

We don’t have written history so it’s just one of those things we will have to leave to science to figure out. For now it’s just he say she say. And that’s what we should leave it as and move on.

We have a country and people to build. Let’s stop this ethnic bashing and e-wars, things like this kill national pride

Nigga ure peddling the issue here be bold ...to say ur mind this is why nigeria is like this we all scared to say our minds ..you want this thread to end then make it end if u dont know the history go start from page 1 of this thread it will guide you to know who is right or wrong ....ure a scientist and philosopher here now....
Nevertheless even if we had written record is not all things we would have put on books such as this....even if we did put it on books like you said our counterpart would still deniel it by thier false stories ...benins had a documented method which they keep records of event but never bothered keeping oduduwas because he didnt play much relevance in edo untill he was requsted back....... And again who said we are fighting we are nit we are just arguing for the truth if you have been on this thread since you probably find the truth no coming here to tell us to end our research..... That is been a lazy youth....
Pls go do research and tell me the stories which seems logical if i was a yorubaman and edo seem right i would wholeheartedly say it to my yorubas counterpart that's is been truthful

Actually our ancestors were visited by Europeans who took notes of what they saw and those notes are available in European libraries. Besides colonisation was in the Era of my great grand father which is not so long ago, there are still many paper traces of precolonial Benin Kingdom. The problem is not lack of authentic documents, it is that some people just reject the documents as biased because the truth doesn't favor yoruba claims of superiority.

I can show you map of Bini as a tributary of Ife. Why cant you show Ondo as your tributary?
Obviously, you must know your map is fake, or you are dumber than you sound.

Before I make a post on a topic I research it to know the fact.. obviously you are too daft and dumb to do the same.
If you research Ada history you will find out that it was in existence since the time of the Ogisos.. Oranmiyan did not bring Ada to Benin.

I don’t like using you to judge all Yorubas, but if you are representing all Yorubas then I have to say Yorubas are very daft.

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Moorish: 7:59pm On Jul 15, 2018
The heat of this argument is intense grin

It is possible the secret to immortal life is between edo and Yoruba

Because this argument is eternal lol

In other news I am learning to find peace in solitude and suppressing the ego

The children of the ego are

Pride

Selfishness

Lusts

Arrogance

Wickedness

The children of paradise are those who can suppress the ego

Love

Happiness

Wisdom

Creativity

I wish I can impart some wisdom and peace here

How many variations of Ogun do u have in Yoruba? Do you perform certain rites to become one with any variation of Ogun diety?

Anyone that wants to laugh, these guys will make your day. They are so funny, I think they will make money as commedians.

It should be clear now to everyone that they are jokers. They know very well that they are just a branch of Yoruba Iroko tree.

I was just listening to a speech from the honourable minister Louis Farrakhan

Reminded me of how much war and evil was waged on the holy nations of the blacks

The man of sin did not even spare innocent women and children

our ancestors suffered a great deal at the hands of the Arab and European by the way !

Wise up brothers

I believe if we can love eachother

There is no stopping the holy nation of the blacks

Love, peace and power to all you my brothers and sisters

I love you all

I pray my words can affect even 1

Can you spot a very telling difference in the 2 pictures below?
The pictures are from the Great Oba of Benin and Ooni of Ife visits to Olu of itsekiri.
Who was recognized as a greater ruler btw the Oba of Benin and Ooni of Ife??

Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Moorish: 5:22am On Jul 17, 2018
Both civilizations are one

Right from in ancient kemet

We yorubas were the priests in kush, ancient kushites

I have a strong feeling Benin ruled in Egypt proper but we collaborated

I will be forced to re-enter this battle davidnazee and other edos here, but..

Not as an enemy or adversary, but as a brother and collaborator

My Ife, Oyo, Ijebu, Ondo, Ekiti, all our people, ogun, sabe, popo, ketu etc

I am also here to discuss with you all

Imperial
Re: Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife by Moorish: 5:28am On Jul 17, 2018
Edo is imperial and must be revered

These are the children of the Pharoahs

We Yorubas ruled in the south (upper Egypt)

Edos had Lower Egypt

Together, we birthed civilization itself

We also strove and fought with eachother

Yorubas being naturally dark skinned nubians of kush

Edos had red/dark and all colours in between

Edo, and their igbo brethren ruled and created the greatest civilization on earth and they must be allowed to rise again

The world desperately needs this

But Yorubas must be respected for our spirituality, music, arts, divination, medicine and alchemy

We must also be feared LOL

We did conquer and subdue egypt once

So Edos/Igbos/Kemites do not be too proud we can do it again grin grin grin

Yorubas do not be arrogant, slow down and respect the mighty Kemites/Edos/Igbo

Those men do know how to civilize

Holy Nation of Blacks

Imperial
