This is rabbit and not rat. What Oyinbo call rabbit is not found in our environment, so what do we now call rabbit.

We can't use Oyinbo definition of their rabbit as our own rabbit. The white tip tail rodent is our rabbit. Shikena!

Please stop saying nonsense with so much confidence. Where did you school?

Olodos, see rabbit

See hare. Don't be dumb. Op killed some kind of edible RAT

A while ago, i met a young man who was so obstinate, the like of which i believed i would never encounter again. Then, this thread comes up and there you are, dispensing an immeasurable level of insistence on stupidity. Its almost as though if you permitted yourself to think, you'd hurt yourself.
Perhaps i am wrong and you would truly, maybe you are better off enlightened as much as you are.

Some topics are for comic relief, steer up controversy and savor the heat.

Don't think or take these things too deep.

Meanwhile, I just prepared egusi soup with Rabbitus Africanus, It will go down with my pounded yam.

What u referred me to when you mentioned me first fit you within and without. Imagine how magnifying your ignorance is! I was able to differentiate btw rat and rabbit at my very tender age. But you, as old as you are, find it very difficult to differentiate despite with the aid of pictorial explanations and comments from others. Many tried to put you through, you were still showing ur unmatchable ignorance! Dolt, halfwit, cretin and the other derogatory callings I am expecting ought to have been your other names!

Bros i know, what i am saying is has our hunters ever killed or caught what they made us call a rabbit?

Real rabbits do exist in Nigeria, though their population is small, and they don't spot fluffy hairs like their foreign counterparts. I remember I and my friends captured one when we were still kids. We later ate it though.

Confirm Bini Babe, it's called "Afio'tor" in URHOBO, quite similar to Ofen'tor as being called in Bini, no doubt the Urhobo language still remains a branch of the Bini language.

This is rabbit, one way to distinguish between rabbit and rat is the tail, our local rabbit usually have a white tail. Ate enough of this that year.

There is nothing like bini, the real people are Igodomigodo.

Bini is the word ile ibinu, given after the Yoruba conquest of Ogiso territory and established the bini territory.

Samething with Ado. The word Edo is derived from Ado, which is the name of the First Yoruba prince of Igodo land.

This is where many people get confused and start thinking Urhobo or Igbodomigodo people are yoruba becos Oba is yoruba. wrong!

There is no such word like "Ile Ibinu" in ancient Bini history, it was recently coined when the Edo and Yoruba supremacy battle started. "Ubinu" was the right word and it was used to describe the royal administrative centre of Edo kingdom. Ubinu was later corrupted to Bini by Portuguese speakers.

Apart from the Okpe clan of Urhobo who traces their origin to Ile-ife, the Urhobos have always maintained, from ancient time that they are from Bini, no one can even link Urhobo to Yoruba, you can do that with itsekiri, which is a direct offshoot of various Yoruba clans, not Urhobo.

Igbodomigodo is the first name given to the Bini empire, it was named by the first Ogiso, so Igbodomigodo = Bini, since we are referring to a people living in a given territory.

Bini and Yoruba shared a lot in common in the past, so its normal for both to steal some words from each other, reason for the Oba tittle I guest.

Yeah! That is just it, the administrative centre u call Ubinu is not indigenous to the Igodomigodo people.

The way u use the word Bini should be measured becos Igodomigodo people and Bini are totally unrelated until 12th Century wen Oranmiyan invaded and destroyed the Ogiso dynasty by war.

Bini was imposed on them and foreign.

Before the coming of Yoruba Oba in the 12the century and then elivated by the portugese in the 15 century via slave trade, the Igodomigodo people now refered to as Bini had an indigenous King called Ogiso. The kingdom was refered to as Idu.

U say Edo but that is a corrupted word of a Yoruba Prince called Ado from the 12th century.


Itsekiri are mixed with Igodomigodo people and Ijaw. They originally were full blooded Yoruba but not anymore.


They came with the Oba in 12 century as fighters.


In fact Ondo state is a mix of Igodomigodo, yoruba and Ijaw.

Tradition asserts that the Edo people became dissatisfied with the rule of a dynasty of semimythical kings, the ogisos, and in the 13th century they invited Prince Oranmiyan of Ife to rule them. His son Eweka is regarded as the first oba, or king, of Benin, though authority would remain for many years with a hereditary order of local chiefs. Late in the 13th century, royal power began to assert itself under the oba Ewedo and was firmly established under the most famous oba, Ewuare the Great (reigned c. 1440–80), who was described as a great warrior and magician. He established a hereditary succession to the throne and vastly expanded the territory of the Benin kingdom, which by the mid-16th century extended from the Niger River delta in the east to what is now Lagos in the west. (Lagos was in fact founded by a Benin army and continued to pay tribute to the oba of Benin until the end of the 19th century.) Ewuare also rebuilt the capital (present-day Benin City), endowing it with great walls and moats. The oba became the supreme political, judicial, economic, and spiritual leader of his people, and he and his ancestors eventually became the object of state cults that utilized human sacrifice in their religious observances.

Ewuare was succeeded by a line of strong obas, chief of whom were Ozolua the Conqueror (c. 1481–c. 1504; the son of Ewuare) and Esigie (early to mid-16th century; the son of Ozolua), who enjoyed good relations with the Portuguese and sent ambassadors to their king. Under these obas Benin became a highly organized state. Its numerous craftsmen were organized into guilds, and the kingdom became famous for its ivory and wood carvers. Its brass smiths and bronze casters excelled at making naturalistic heads, bas-reliefs, and other sculptures. From the 15th through the 18th century Benin carried on an active trade in ivory, palm oil, and pepper with Portuguese and Dutch traders, for whom it served as a link with tribes in the interior of western Africa. It also profited greatly from the slave trade. But during the 18th and early 19th centuries the kingdom was weakened by violent succession struggles between members of the royal dynasty, some of which erupted into civil wars. The weaker obas sequestered themselves in their palaces and took refuge in the rituals of divine kingship while indiscriminately granting aristocratic titles to an expanding class of nonproductive nobles. The kingdom’s prosperity declined with the suppression of the slave trade, and, as its territorial extent shrank, Benin’s leaders increasingly relied on supernatural rituals and large-scale human sacrifices to protect the state from further territorial encroachment. The practice of human sacrifice was stamped out only after the burning of Benin City in 1897 by the British, after which the depopulated and debilitated kingdom was incorporated into British Nigeria. The descendants of Benin’s ruling dynasty still occupy the throne in Benin City (although the present-day oba has only an advisory role in government).

You said the Igbodomigodo people are not related to Bini until 12th century? first time I'm hearing this, Oranmiyan only brought his unique style of leadership to Igbodomigodo, he met with the Enogie's daughter and they birthed Eweka 1, Igbodomigodo Was later renamed to Ubinu by Eweka 1.

You view about the Itsekiri's is wrong, the itsekiri had no contact with the Ijaw people until they settled in present day delta. There are some autonomous communities in itsekiri to this day who traces their own origin to Ijebu. Like I said earlier, Itsekiri is a direct offshoot of various Yoruba clans, those from escravos migrated from the present day Ilaje, The itsekiri only adopted a Bini prince to rule them, thus the Olu of Itsekiri dynasty was created. So they are mixture of Yoruba and Edo.
