gregyboy:Lol. So, 1480s of Bini contact with Portuguese is older than contact Between Bini's Contact with Yorubas? You're too funny . In fact, Yoruba had contact with Potoki before Bini. . And had contact with Portuguese before Oviedos of Igodomigodo and Oma Binis Beside this, Portuguese explorer Rui de Sequeira visited Lagos in 1472, naming the area around the city Lago de Curamo. which is the reason, it is always true that Oviedos in your rank are revisionists. 4 Likes 1 Share |

gregyboy: Firstly, what do you mean by cunny, you dummy?? Secondly, you lied again (as expected) where you wrote that the Europeans' writings was not from the words of Binis, but only from their actions that they observed. I wonder how this even makes any case in your favor. But nevertheless a refutation of this lie is attached below. Thirdly, regarding the bolded portion of your crossed-out rant, can you then quote the write ups that doesn't suit me which I often avoid?? What have you been waiting for?? That's the whole point of this exchange, isn't it?? Lastly, regarding the foremost and world-renowned indigenous Bini historian, Chief Jacob Uwadiae Egharevba: The aspects of his accounts of Bini history which does not go down well with the 1970s revisionists are ...... wait for it ...... ...... Those that describe the undeniable primacy of Ile-Ife and its supremacy over Benin kingdom among others. The next logical question to ask then becomes: Why will Chief Egharevba (a Bini man, a Bini chief, a curator of the Benin Museum, and a consultant on Benin traditions whose knowledge of Benin history, laws and customs was used in Native Court cases) come up with (or accept) accounts which he knows to be "false" and which "demeans" his own heritage?? ---- Read up on what is known as the Criterion of Embarrassment. The answer is obvious though: This illustrious Bini historian was simply collecting accounts of Bini history, as well as the Ife connection, from Bini informants such as the Esekhure, the Ihogbe, et al. (whom he listed and referenced in his works). He collected them into writing for posterity regardless of how uncomfortable some of the accounts may have made him feel. For example: (i) That certain late Obas of Benin have their heads exhumed and buried in Ife. (ii) That the Edo Ekaladerhan is an entirely different person from the Yoruba Oduduwa or Oranmiyan. And so forth. Other interesting information to consider about the so-called Bini "scholars" who disagreed with Egharevba on the Ife connection are as follows: (i) The so-called Bini "scholars" (namely: S. B. Omoregie; Edun Akenzua; D. U. Edebiri; and Air Iyare) who FIRST came up with the "Ekaladerhan is Oduduwa/Oranmiyan" theory did so at different times during the early 1970s; whereas Chief Egharevba collected his accounts of Benin history in as far back as the early 1930s. Whose account then is closer to the sources, Chief Egharevba's or the revisionists'?? (ii) More importantly is the fact that these so-called Bini "scholars" are actually no scholar or historian, but amateur revisionists. And as is to be expected in their amateurish "historical works", no attempt is made to cite the sources of their strange information, nor did they make any attempt to name any informant. (iii) Like I have demonstrated earlier, their revisionist attempt has be unanimously debunked, time and time again, and forgotten by historians of Bini history worth the name all over the world. (iv) In sum, it is not for amateurs to decide who is an authoritative historian and who is not. No, that is the job of experts and scholars. And as I have once shown in the words of Dr. R. E. Bradbury, Chief J. U. Egharevba's account of Bini history was collected: "from well selected informants who had grown to maturity before 1897. The memories which they retained of past traditions had not had much time to be overlaid and distorted by pressing interests and the new problems of the modern world." Elsewhere Dr. R. E. Bradbury, writes in relation to Chief Egharevba's work that it: "has become something of a classic, known and relied upon not only in Nigeria, but by scholars all over the world, (as) ... a valuable, indeed an indispensable, pioneering work." cc: cbrass macof Olu317 rhektor seunmsg geosegun Obalufon 5 Likes 2 Shares

gregyboy: Debunk? "Theriously"!? You probably have no clue what the word "debunk" means. No, you didn't debunk nothing. I remember clearly, you only complained about your own cluelessnes regarding how the internet works in verifying academic references, and that I should help you. |

gregyboy: Shsharap! It was Oranmiyan who changed your village's name from "Igodomigodo" to "Ubinu" which the Portuguese came ---- some 300 years later --- to pronounce as "Benin". Otherwise, explain how the Europeans will suddenly ---- for strange reasons ---- call your village "Benin" instead of its actual name "Igodomigodo". Your "logic" (if it may be called logic) is obviously leaky. |

TAO11: Nigga as i said earlier it is a Portuguese name and you admitted to the fact it is Ile binu =does it sound benin i guess no Portuguese could have coined the word on thier own from their own language If i am to accept the word is a yoruba word then the binis were correct when they said oduduwa was their son |

gregyboy: "tHe PoRtUgUeSe CoUlD hAvE cOiNed ThE wOrD oN tHeIr OwN fRoM tHeIr OwN lAnGuAgE." Oh my goodnes! So I've been talking to a joke. And Yes, Oranmiyan named your village "Ubinu" land, and added before leaving that only a child with some Edo blood can tame their savagery and backwardness. He said this and left, leaving a Yoruba/Edo hybrid child behind to tame them. If he --- Oduduwa --- was their son (although scholars of Bini history have shown this not to be the case), then that will make Oranmiyan also their son, and hence Oranmiyan will never have made such a statement along the lines of: only a child with some Edo heritage can tame them. The fact that he made such statement and then left demonstrates that he wasn't one of them, hence neither was his father/ancestor, Oduduwa as historians have submitted. 6 Likes 1 Share |

gregyboy: Nigga learn how to use common Google. The world is fast leaving you behind. I have provided the full references to the statements I quoted. That's the onus on me. You must be willing to do the job of typing those references (or the quotes) into what is known as Google, press the enter key, and watch some miracle happen. Dont be afraid, try it. Google doesn't bite. 2 Likes 1 Share |
