TAO11 now have two assignments on her hands.

1. To prove that Benin/Ife relationship is older than 1800s.

2. To prove that the creation of yarriba of Yoruba by the white man is older than 1808.

Until she accomplishes these two simple tasks many people will no longer take her seriously, it will be a waste of time to engage her.

Poor her I can see another long sabbatical loading....

Anybody whom is not using his brain to the fullest is not my brother and should change tribe to join one of the bastard tribes descending from slaves and slave raiders and uncle Toms: eg yoruba.

Bro leave that Juliusmalema alone... He's obviously a disgruntled kid who thinks Igbos didn't associate with any other tribe throughout history...
Funnily enough the tribe was a scattered something prior to the amalgamation of Nigeria and there is a high probability of Benin exerting on some of the villages due to its influence..

His style
a)Enters a thread where Benin-yoruba is arguing
b)then when he sees that Benin mention Igbo, he'll jump and say that Igbo has nothing to do with Benin
c)when confronted with facts, instead of returning back with facts, he'll start crying on the thread calling it falsehood and deflecting it to the Yoruba to save him from his ignorance...
d)rinse and repeat

That Guy thinks he's wise...

According to him,
Olaudah Equaino is a liar and he that was born less than 300 years later is saying the truth
According to him,
Nnamdi Azikiwe is a liar and he that was born few years after Zik died was correct
Now according to him
Crowther is a liar and he that doesn't know the origin of his own village is correct...

If Juliusmalema ever bring any fact to support his claims, I go baf naked...

That boy nor wise... Make Una nor dey engage am

TAO11 has been reduced to repeating herself like a broken record since your Igbo brother dismantled her with his history of Yoruba videos that supported and tallied with what the Benin have been saying.

She was rattled beyond beliefs, your Nna bros rocked her world to foundation.

She is now struggling to debunk the fact that her precious Yoruba is a baby creation of the white man in 1808, as if this is not bad enough, she is still unable to prove Benin/Ife connection beyond 1800s.

You Igbos better save those video for the days the Yoruba decide to take on you guys.

Somebody is in severe pains. Someone has activated “life in denial” mode Somebody needs a recount just like Trump. grin cheesy You both share the same IQ apparently.

You may live in denial for all I care — as long as it helps you cope with floggings.

@Juliusmalema can you please confirm to this heartbroken block head that his dumb attempt to pitch Igbo against Yoruba has failed on arrival.

Please remind him to address his ancestral problems which I’ve healed up for him, rather than look for escape via pitching others.

cc: RedboneSmith

please provide your reference were Asaba claims affinity with Nteje in Eastern Nigeria and to a lesser extent with Igala.

I hope you will not come back next time to tell us that most tribes claiming Benin ancestry starting doing so recently.


It is somewhat sad that people still do not understand that relationship and ancestry do not mean the same thing. I was really expecting the screenshot to say the ancestors of Asaba came from Benin. It doesn't say that. Of course, there was a relationship between Asaba and Benin. How else do you explain the Benin titles used in Asaba and other cultural imprints from Benin in and around Asaba?

Let me get on my laptop later, and I will share screenshots of three different versions of Asaba origin collected between 1879 and 1914. All of them agree that the founder or Asaba was Nnebisi from Nteje. One or two also mention an Igala prince who also came and joined Nnebisi's people. None mentions Benin.

NB: I have never claimed everyone manufactured Benin origin in recent times. There are places like Aboh, many Ika towns, etc that mentioned Benin part- or full-ancestry from their earliest documented traditions. I maintain however that there has been a great expansion of claims of Benin origin in comparatively recent times. Ekpeye, Ikwerre, Etche and even Ohafia claims of Benin descent belong to this latter wave of Benin claims.

I'll post the Asaba story when I get home and can use my laptop.

Did you read that document properly? Did you skip where it says that the Asaba people migrated to Asaba from the sovereign of the Oba of Benin due to wars?

Did you read where a clear distinction was made between Asaba people and Ibo/Igbo people of which they were amalgamated?

Did you read were it says Asaba people have different habits from Ibo/Igbo people?

Did you read the part it says the Asaba people still retained Benin words, phrases and habits in 1875?

Did TAO11 borrowed you her lenses?

A short story about Benin Nairaland liars:

A Benin man (Mr X) living in the village once asks his Benin friend (Mr Y) the following:

“Where are you come from”?

As he (Mr Y) attempted to answer: “I am coming from ‘to- -‘ “

Mr X had disappeared into oblivion.

The king then sent men on a mission to locate the fleeing coward (Mr X).

Upon finding Mr X under his bed, disguised in his wife’s garment; he confessed that he had thought Mr Y was about to mention ‘TAO11’ — instead of ‘town’


End of the story!
.
.
.
Key takeaway:
Do not be a Benin liar, otherwise TAO11’s terrifying lie-busting presence would be engraved on your heart for a long time to come.

TAO11 will chase you around in your dreams. TAO11 will be in your head. TAO11 will be on your lips as you speak. TAO11 will be on your finger as you type.

Be warned!

Chillax. I'll post three entire versions, free of ambiguity. There was a war with Benin in the time of Osemwede (called Osomadi in Asaba traditions). Asaba people fled and later returned to their land, after the army of Benin left (I'll post this too, if I find it.) This whole talk about migrating from sovereignty, etc etc, due to wars, etc...sounds like an allusion to that war in Osemwede's time than to any claim on the part of Asaba to have been of Benin descent.

Northern Nigerians still retain Arabic words, phrases and habits in 2020. Means very little.

I guess you didn't see the above from RedboneSmith submission. Small tribe that everyone is claiming one way or the other. The Yoruba are not left out of making claims of relationship with Benin. It shows how special we are.
