1. The council of Elders place and the front view of the palace

I must admit The Yorubas have a rich history, beautiful tradition and a great story. I got to learn how the Ile Ife, Oyo, Benin Kingdom and other parts of the yoruba land became one

evansjeff:
Whatever they fed you with in that palace, please know that BENIN KINGDOM IS NOT AND CAN NEVER BE PART OF YORUBA LAND.

Sobasojek:
Hope you know ibadan alone can run down your 2 by 2 3 local governments Benin kingdom. So stop making mouth okay because Edo witches, prostitutes and armed robbers are too small for Ibadan alone talk of Oyo or the whole Yoruba race

So whatever stupid mouth you ugly poverty stricken mofos from wretched Edo state make, let it remain in your backward Edo state okay. Be warned before i send Sunday igboho to bring the head of your weak oba of Benin for me

evansjeff:
Just imagine what a human is vomiting pit out of his mouth.. Exactly how people become unfortunate in life without even knowing the reason

Sobasojek:
E pain am . You’re warned

Tell me if anything good has ever come out of your dead backward wretched poverty stricken Edo state. All Edo state indigenes I know are poor, wretched and ugly just like your foolish oloriburuku oba of Benin

A state known for armed robbery and prostitution
All your sisters and mothers even exported prostitution to Italy as well as cultism.

Edo state is known for dead s structures with everywhere looking like 16th century with poor roads, malnutrition and ackward looking witches everywhere.

I’m very sure that I have bleeped your useless olosho mother before based on say Na una trademark

Even the gra Benin has no single tarred road. All Edo youths i know are doomed forever

The Oba of Ife is the top in Hierachi in Yorubaland. according to Legend. One of his sons known as Oranmiyan, was sent to Igodogogo (Now Benin KIngdom) , he conquered the Kingdom and He became the first King of Benin. According to history, he was having issues with the people of Benin because they didn't like his style of rulership. So he made his son Eweka the ruler and left Benin for good.

On leaving Benin he settled at Oyo with his men, he became the first King of Oyo. He was a great warrior and he fought all through the South West all the way to Benin Republic , This is one of the reasons why Oyo Empire is so feared. Then after conquering all the major cities, he felt the need to go back home. He returned to Ile Ife with his army and he unseat the ruling King in a very peaceful manner. He told him he is back to take his fathers throne and he would appreciate if he moves elsewhere. LOL . The King had to move because Oranmiyan was a great warrior

Asapchris:
Then you are bastard in Benin land.

No reasonable person should mention this dude again he has nothing reasonable to contribute.

The truth is not every Edo person is a Bini person or from Bini Kingdom. If you're truly from the Bini kingdom forget your pride and ego and do take a trip home, then ask from the royals if there's any historical links between the yorubas and the Bini people. You will be shocked at what you will discover. The naratives these days is mere jostling for supremacy between the two. That's why each is claiming one came out of the other. If there's no link such stories won't come up. But who is trying to distort the story is another story.

Do you ever asked yourself why the Bini kingdom and every Yoruba king is addressed as Oba?

Oba means king, and all Yoruba kings are known as Oba but with a title like Alaafin, Ooni, Eleko(Lagos) etc while that of Benin is Onibini.

People of Bini royal blood truly understand the relationship of the two kingdoms, unfortunately it's might be beyond the comprehension of the enemies of this great nations. Take your time to dig and see what you will come up with.

ThatFairGuy:
Why are you angry?
He lied?
If course Benin is Benin or did he said otherwise?
That story he briefed is what I've also read about binis. Ile ibinu, ubini Which later transformed to bini.

You have to go and learn your history. He never marginalized Benin

Alexis11:
He said Yoruba and Benin had relationships and it is easy to understand because of proximity and boundaries. He never said Binis were Yorubas.

STOP TRYING TO FEEL IMPORTANT BY ALL MEANS.

Edo no be Yoruba

EdoDefence:
I will feel important, if I am not important you won't try to align your people with mine

Edo no be Yoruba

Alexis11:
In all honesty, you guys are not important to Yorubas in anyway. You are not even up to Ijebu by landmass or Ijesha in population or greater than Oyo in history. Yorubas will honourably delete any tie with you guys by the time your insults and hostilities grow in the nearest future.

And Yes,
YORUBA CAN NEVER BE EDO.

Afonja can never be ẸDO
ẸDO NO BE YORUBA

Opposite the Palace is the Enuwa Square, once you see this place you know you are about to Enter the Royal palace

Please go and learn about history of the benin Kingdom and Yoruba Kingdom. They have been one strong ally , Nobody is causing any marginalization. I am only talking about history of their long term relationship and how it came to be

lekki1444:
nigga keep quiet. yoruba and benin were allies. i am a product of a benin and yoruba merger in the 1600s when some members of the benin kingdom travelled to ikorodu and merged with the yoruba. till today in ikorodu there are two obas, one oba of benin extraction called the Olisa and then another of yoruba extraction but all the benin people of back then all bear yoruba names now. the commisioner for transport for lagos state Dr Fred Oladeinde and the CEO of polaris bank Dr Tokunbo Abiru are a product of that merger and these two are from ikorodu and have yoruba names now but their heritage is benin from the olisa faamily

mrugly:
Now, to start with. Oranmiyan didn't conquered Benin(since he didn't wage any war when he got there). The story is this: The Benins came to Oduduwa and asked him to be their king and Oduduwa refused but gave them Oranmiyan (his last son) to go and rule over them.

Why the Benins came all the way to Ile Ife to ask for king( Some of you might ask)? Well, I can't fully say as there are some stories too that emancipated from Benin Kingdom that Oduduwa's origin is from the Benin Kingdom and that he is part of the Ogizo dynasty (if I could recall the name) which translates to the SKY DYNASTY. Legend also says that he(Oranmiyan) was the one who gave them the name Benin because, AS THEY SAY when he got there, he discovered that there ways of life is full of wrath, so he called that place ILE IBINU which translates to the LAND OF WRATH. It is true that he left Benin in anger when he saw that he was unable to change their ways of living.

You mentioned about conquering every Kingdom in southwest, go through your history book again and check if he conquered the Ijebu Kingdom.

Benin and ife never happened bro, it was astaged mythical tales to unitr both kingdom for political gains

d first ruler of Ife (Oduduwa) was d first son of
Ogiso Owodo by d name Ekaladerhan who wandered frm Udo town (capital
of ancient Aka Kingdom) to escape injustice, nd at d end arrived in
Ile-Ife where he was welcomed, acceptd nd finally made dia king. It
was probably as a result of divinity displayd in his personality dat
promptd d Yorubas ova whom he ruled to give him another name
"Oduduwa". Rememba dat d Yorubas believd Oduduwa migrated frm d "east"
to rule over them, nd Benin City is "east" Ile-Ife.

History of Benin Empire:-
The original people and founders of the Benin Empire, the Edo people,
were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who
called their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings were commonly known
as Ogiso. Igodo, the first Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained
popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was
succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace
intrigue and battle for power erupted between the warrior crown prince
Ekaladerhan son of the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In
anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left the royal court with his
warriors. When his old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty was
ended as the people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as
natural next in line to rule.
The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan, who was not known in Yoruba land,
somehow earned the title of Oni Ile-fe Izoduwa which is now corrupt to
yoruba language as Ooni (Oghene) of Ile-Ife Oduduwa and refused to
return, then sent his son Oranmiyan to become king. Prince Oranmiyan
took up his abode in the palace built for him at Usama by the elders
(now a coronation shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a
beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Osa-nego, was the ninth Enogie
(Duke) of Ego, by whom he had a son. After some years residence here
he called a meeting of the people and renounced his office, remarking
that the country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu (by which name the
country was afterward known) and that only a child born, trained and
educated in the arts and mysteries of the land could reign over the
people. He caused his son born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in
his place, and returned to Yoruba land Ile-Ife.
