.

how logical is your statement above, you said the Yoruba until recent call Benin people as IFA people, you said the Benin taught IFA divinations to the Yorubas.....are you serious or just been mischievous? through out the world everyone knows that the Yoruba people invented the IFA divination system, the IFA chants are recited in Yoruba, mentioning the experience and life of Yoruba orishas and prominent deified anscenstor. Orunmila was the actual founder of IFA, with his philosophy of " what has happen before is still what will happen,nothing is new under the son" orunmila traveled the length and breadth of Yoruba cities teaching them IFA, orunmila had compiled 256 0du( verses) these verses contain all experiences that everyman pass through in life, in order to memorize the enormous odus,orunmila used the mnemonic device of chanting, chanting makes it easy and fun to learn the 256 odus, any one who succeeded in learning the odus is called a " Babalawo" an initiate,to recognized and distinguish odus orunmila use a form of binary coding, a specific odu is represented by a specific pattern, palm nut is used to acquire pattern of odus for divination,opele is another instrument used for divination..... Yoruba ifa divination was introduced to colony States such has Dahomey and Bini, it was introduced to the igalas through normal religious influence, IFA as gone worldwide as a result of the Atlantic slave trade. please we should not misinform people just to feed our tribal pride and ego

Guy, the purpose of what I posted was not to show or imply that the Oba of Benin version was right, how could you even come to such conclusion when the same reference said archeological findings dates Ife to the 16th century.

If you are familiar with the Benin/Ife relationship, you would realise that Oranmiyan coming to Benin was dated to the 12th century, how could this be if archeological findings only dates Ife to the 16th century?

Please always read and understand. I submitted and highlighted the bit that was relevant to my argument, I could have deleted the rest I didn't agree with but it would have been disingenuous.

I like to present the full picture and then debate it rather than presenting half of what was said.

I hope I have made myself clear enough, besides this is not the first time of reading my submissions on Benin/Ife relationship and I expected you to have known my stand on it by now.

samuk:
there was nothing like Benin until the Portuguese call you that your name is bini

Can you now see why I said it will be very difficult to educate you? Your knowledge of history is very limited.

The Portuguese didn't name Bini, they met the name bini, Ubini which they anglicised Benin.

But there was nothing in resemblance to Yoruba in Nigeria before 1800s that was either misspelt or anglicised.

Maybe it's best you stick to your Fulani rulers in Kwara rather than trolling Benin related history to display your ignorance.
