Shut up! He is a historian, and you sh!t as well as a sh!t eater. grin

He never agreed to any of your Bini lies.

The only point he agreed with you on is when YOU admitted to having nothing to offer. cheesy

Shut up there. He is not a historian, he is just another foolish revisionist like you bringing another confusing account about Ife history pushing Ife further in mythology rather than reality..

OgboAto:


This is unclear, care to reword? Thank you.

There really isn't more to share on it. Let us just say that it was Oyo that said Oduduwa descended with a chain & again migrated from the East.

This East has been taken to be Mecca by Oyo Muslims; Sudan by Prof. Biobaku; Egypt by some old fellow with degree in Theology; & lastly, Igodomigodo/Ughoton by the Bini.

All of these Mecca, Sudan, Egypt & Igodomigodo/Ughoton claims were attempts to hijack the East migration tradition. Now what I think I just need to share with you is that this tradition of origin is not Ife's record of the origins of Osin Ora [Oduduwa] and that your people & king wrote a story to respond to a false narrative from Oyo.

If Oduduwa was Osin Ora like u said, when did his name change from Osin Ora to Oduduwa, why is he called Oduduwa and not Osin Ora? Is oduduwa is middle name, surname or title? Why is he known as oduduwa and not Osin Ora?

I know u will say his name was Osin Ora Oduduwa Adebola smiley smiley

Young man were do you think we are from yoruba

I hope you have been following the thread and you now know edo was mever part of Oduduwa but only jumped into the story for political reasons

So you are the freak saying Benin is from Nupe and Igalah.

Are you not informed that the original Ife is not the Ife we have now, and that in the old Ife there was one nation and everyone else branched out from the common source as their origin?

So if you are from Igala Ife is not your mate. You are from a group who has claimed that they are cousins to Yoruba Ife.

Why do I need to care if you come from Yoruba or not?

The ones in Igalah you claim to come from say they have allegiance to Yoruba.

Look at how you guys have rubbished your history on internet. Very tragic!

I did not even want to go into the old Ife argument yet with them.

Little did these guys know that the Niger-Benue confluence that Ryder (1965) suggested (although wrongly) as the Ogane's kingdom was with Ife in mind.

He argued with many citations that Old Ife used to be in the Niger Benue confluence, and that's true. All scholars agree. Till date there is till an Ife in Idah. Their key deity is called Olojo. Their king goes by the title Onu.

But the strong point scholars brought up against Ryders suggestion of the 1400 Ogane being there is that, as at the time d;Aveiro documented in the late 1400 today's Ife had been established many centuries earlier.

An editorial by a renowned Yoruba professor and historian.

Posted to the web July 7, 2004

The origin of the Benin and Yoruba empires of old have come to the fore and they have been subject of intense debate.
No doubt the origins of the two empires are obscure being deeply buried in legend and mythology and it is not easy to say what amount of history or the amount of embellished history they contain. In truth these traditions which on the surface try to account for the origin of these empires are perhaps little more than ideological chatters legitimizing the political systems, traditions, cultures, etc. of the people. This general position not withstanding, it is worthy of note that the Benin through their well renowned Arts and Craft recorded their history and event in addition to the account of the guild of oral recorders. The most contentious of this debate for now, however, is the Benin-Ife historical connection.

Many historians and social anthropologists especially the Yoruba historians have been greatly impressed by the tradition that the Yoruba Kingdom fathered the second Benin empire. According to Prof. A.B.Aderibigbe, "obviously there is an attempt in this story to gloss over what in fact was an alien imposition." Along the same line, Prof Michael Growder said that this tradition could be "a convenient legend to disguise what in fact was a conquest by the Oduduwa party".

Here however, the following points are worthy of note: First the Ife-Benin connection has been vigorously questioned by Prof. A.F.C. Ryder. He had pointed out that this tradition which seeks to connect Benin with Ife is suspect. He argues that throughout four centuries of contact between Benin and various European nations, in particular Portugal, there was no hint or reference to this relationship between the two empires. The tradition was not mentioned or recorded by any writer until after the British occupation of Benin in 1897. He also pointed out that the city of Ife is believed to be younger than Benin and therefore could not have fathered the second Benin Empire.

Second, according to Prof Ryder, by 1485 Benin was an impressive and large city. Judging by the evidence of European visitors, it was perhaps the largest and most impressive city which the Portuguese saw along the west coast of Africa. Recent archaeological evidence would seem to indicate that Ife was built probably not before the first decade of the 16th century while the capital of old Oyo, Yatenga, was built much later. This would seem to show that the complex political system of the Yoruba which the Benin Kingdom is believed to have descended must have originated much later than the Benin Kingdom.

Third, much of the evidence which is believed to corroborate the claims made in the traditions comes from enthnohistory, that is, historical speculations based on assumed logical sequence of development in the political system. This is most unreliable.

By the 15th Century, the Benin Kingdom had achieved the height of its greatness. It remained the most powerful and the largest Kingdom in the forest region of West Africa until about the end of the first half of the 17 century. During these two centuries of its ascendancy Benin empire stretched as far west as Lagos, Badagry and Whyidah (Dahomey). On the north-west it stretched as far as Ekiti, Akure and Owo. Towards the north, it stretched to Ishan Country and the southern position of Idah. Finally on the east it incorporated at various times various portions of Ika-Ibo and as far as the River Niger.

Prof. Biobaku has suggested that the eastern fringe of what is now Yorubaland was in pre-Yoruba days thinly inhabited by the ancestors of the modern Benin people, a people which he called the Efa. And if recent archaeological evidence would seem to indicate that Ife was built not before the first decade of the 16th century thereby making it to be younger than Benin, then the Oranmiyan tradition has been miscon-strued and the Benin version (The Oba of Benin's version,), not Egharervba's version, becomes more tenable.

You're so bitter. Tell me why!!

If you tell me I will talk to the Igala/Nupe people to please accept you as their slave. Your application will be granted.


And the only reason why I've been requesting your parents (and not you) to talk to me is not to insult them.

I'm doing that only because Im sure you must be dvmber than them.

Hahaha ... Have you forgotten to have brough this copy and paste before to my table and you received serious flogging for it.

You then promised never to be stupid again. Now you broke your promise of no-more-stupidity.

See link below for a reminder of the serious flogging you got on this same copied and pasted m0r0nic Benin lie above.

Ask your parents to call me, I will show them pictures of their Obas' skulls.

I know my comments are on google. And I am so so so so excited about it. grin grin grin grin That's the idea. So that I reach a wide range and variety of audience that all may know the truth about the suzerainty of Ife over Benin Kingdom.

The link I posted where I flogged you on that copy and paste lie shows that no Yoruba (let alone Yoruba Professor) ever said anything of such.

Check the comment at the link for a refresher. I know you're amn@siac. grin grin grin grin


You also lie for a living. Who cursed you??!!
