ayoola27: How can i belive something that is false. Let me make it easier for all of us to understand better, the notion that Africans sold other Africans into slavery is false, the Arabian fundamentalist were the real culprits. All the blame of slavery lies at the feet of the Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers. The Arabian fundamentalist started a human trafiking racketeer in Libya. In other words, they began a new slavetrade. The only Mzungu you'll see me quoting are the righteous ones, the pro African ones i.e Martin Bernal e.t.c Africans invented the concept of literacy. That is to say, it was due to the diabolic and destructiveness of these foreign extremist religions that many of us arent aware of these facts. Perharps you ought to get a copy of the book "Black People Invented Everything' by Sujan Kumar Dass. |

ayoola27: Lol. Thought I should highlight the fact that YOU KNOW that the French Father who visited Benin Kingdom in 1640 DID INDEED DOCUMENT the fact that the lingua-franca of Benin Kingdom is the Yoruba language. Listen again to your statement which proves that you know this: "... Benin people speak Yoruba in their kingdom ... the same Europeans wrote about [it]". Cheers! 2 Likes |

Amujale:In Perbi, Akosua (April 5, 2001). "Slavery and the Slave Trade in Pre-colonial Africa A Ghanaian historian said Slavery was widespread in Africa, with both internal and external slave trade". According to "Welcome to Encyclopædia Britannica's Guide to Black History" In the Senegambia region, between 1300 and 1900, close to one-third of the population was enslaved. In early states of the western Sahel, including Ghana , Mali , Segou , and Songhai , about a third of the population were enslaved. pls lemme see ur own source... anything else..u won't get a mention from me 2 Likes |

ayoola27: You're deceiving yourself. Learn to read properly. You are agreeing with me that there was never a slavetrade on the African continent prior to the distruption of the Arabian fubdamentalist and Eutocentric warmongers. The above book covers Ghana slavery 15th and above. What is the point in citing content that is afterwards. The point i am making to you here is a historical fact. There was never ever a slavetrade on the continent prior to the arrival of the Arabian fundamentalist and the Eurocentric warmongers. |
Re: Benin Was A Yoruba speaking Empire. by TAO12: 11:28pm On Jun 09, 2020 |
ayoola27: Okay, thank you for admitting point blank, without mincing words, that Benin Kingdom did indeed use Yoruba language as its lingua-franca as attested by the documentation of the visiting French Father in the year 1640. Cheers! 3 Likes |

ayoola27: Again, inconsequential content.You are sinply making the point for me. All the countries you mention was either colonised or under the control of foreign governments. Enslaved by whom? You're quoting 1300, slavery lasted for over 2000 years dude. The point i was alluding to is that chattel slavery and the slavetrade was invented by the Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers. There was no such thing as chattel slavery or a slavetrade prioe to the distruption of the Arabian fumdamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers. |

Re: Benin Was A Yoruba speaking Empire. by Amujale(m): 11:51pm On Jun 09, 2020 |
ayoola27: Check the dates you are posting? Let me put things into their perspective. The horific Portuguese campaign begins in and around the 1300's, and the Arabian slavetrade precede that. Eurocentrist tend to bring up their own history of slavery in our continent in an attempt to justify their horific attrocities, but they have failed. Any slavetrade that occured from the point that the Arabian fundamentalist began their evil campaign, either the Arabian fundamentalist, Eurocentric warmonger or both were in charge. Slavery and slavetrades was started by the Arabian fundamentalist in the First Millenium, around the 600's. Again, there's no evidence anywhere in history of a slavetrade on the continent prior to the First Millenium, and that was due to the Arabian fundamentalist warmongers. And that ties into the fact that there never was chattel slavery or a slavetrade anywhere in African history prior to the distruption of the Arabian fundamentalist and Eurocentric warmongers. Assuming you have any evidence to the contrary, kindly post it here. |

Re: Benin Was A Yoruba speaking Empire. by Nobody: 2:30pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
gregyboy: I am only insisting that there is nothing like edo-igbo analysis. it is only a myth and not existing. TaO11 here clearly stated with verifiable evidences that Edos/binis are yorubas right from the dawn of times and have shown proof...Ooni stated the same. So how do the edo/igbo analysis crop with such facts as stated above already existing. This shows that there is no history like that and shouldn't be allowed to breathe. Over time, I do defend binis but with history critically researched I came to realize that they are more of yorubas politically and culturally. Same here and around, yorubas always see Edos as their own. I have even been told same off here. So you see our stance has a root cause. |
Re: Benin Was A Yoruba speaking Empire. by TAO11(f): 3:09pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
Osagyefo98:Just to clarify what my evidence-based argument has actually been: The Edo people are Edos just as the Yoruba people are Yorubas and the Igbo people are Igbos. These are all distinct ethno-linguistic groups What I have demonstrated with evidence, however, is that the current dynastic monarchy of the Edo people is a foreign one originating from the Ife subgroup of the Yoruba people. ••• Over time, I do defend binis but with history critically researched I came to realize that they are more of yorubas politically and culturally •••.Absolutely! 1 Like |

TAO11: Good but you can't agree with the latter and try to disagree or segregate with the former. I only pigeonholed the real life case as it should be accordingly. So I am not wrong in saying both are same people..( Edo-Yoruba). It only gets conflicting when trying to segregate history that keeps converging more and more. |
