Culture / Re: What's The Ibo-yoruba-bini Connection? by proudlyYoruba(m): 3:29pm On Nov 26, 2017 |
proudlyYoruba:Diiet, What is clear is that neither Oduduwa nor Oranmiyan coveted the Benin throne. Oduduwa delegated the throne to Oranmiyan. Oranmiyan, interestingly enough, abdicated Kingship thrones twice in favour of his sons. He abdicated the Benin throne in favour of an infant offspring in order to set up a new Empire at Oyo Ile. He thereafter abdicated his throne at Oyo ile in favour of an adult son in order to take up the Ife throne when it became vacant. Clearly, Oranmiyan’s home and heart were in Ife. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Diiet:It is just ego bro. “I therefore stand before you as the 40th Oba of Benin, a direct descendant of Oranmiyan, the son of Oduduwa, whom the Benin people of that era knew as Ekaladeran, their self-exiled prince who later became ruler in Ile-Ife. The Benin people recognise Oduduwa and his origin but it is not our place to force this recognition on others outside our boundaries.“ The history of the world is a shared one and there will certainly be unexpected connections in the future. This is, thus, a time for unity and not divisiveness, a time for mutual respect, recognising that our wholeness as people is so much more than the sum of our parts.” 2 Likes |

ProudToBeAZombie:We worship same gods also. The Okun people practice Christianity, Islam and traditional African religions. Although, Okun people practice the worship of Orisa like Sango and Ogun and the consultation of Ifá (or Ihá ) as the other larger Yoruba subgroups, prominence is given to the worship of ebora , believed to be spirits who live in forests, caves, mountains, stream or rivers. |

ProudToBeAZombie:WIKI The individual historical accounts that state that the Okun people migrated from Ile-Ife is very popular and highly acceptable among the people. In version of Yagba Oral tradition for instance, the man that led a group of people to their present location was sent from Ile-Ife to establish the settlement but did not return over a long period of time to give an account of his expenditure. When he eventually returned and explained that he lost larger part of his acquired land to some other migrants, he was blamed for the loss. He responded thus in yoruba, Ìyà àgbà ló jemí , the clause from which the name Iyagba or Yagba was coined. Ade Obayemi however opined that the okun people are aboriginals in the Niger-Benue confluence and may not have migrated to their present location from Ile-Ife .[3] The turn of events that followed the Nupe military incursion of the 19th century left the Okun people as minorities in the Northern Region of Nigeria , separated from their kiths and kins in the southwest. [4] Till date, not so much is known about the Okun people even among other Yoruba subgroups. Furthermore, some still hold the opinion that they are not Yoruba . This opinion however, cannot be correct since the Okun people speak obvious Yoruba dialects, can still trace their roots to Ile-Ife by oral traditions, and share similar cultural traits with the other Yoruba groups. These reasons and more have made historians like Ann O' Hear to call attention to the need for further research on the Okun people and their history. |

One thing is sure Yoruba and Benin are the same, though they both contest 'for superiority'. The area benin was occupied by Igodo something led by Ogiso. The ogiso era would be replaced by the oba era, and the name of the kingdom would be changed from Igodomigodo to Edo by Oba Eweka I Oba Eweka the first Oba of Benin is the son of Oranmiyan, the prime heir to the throne of Ile Ife and the founder of the Oyo Empire. The binis claimed they exiled a son Izoduwa (actually i believe he is in the Congo), they claimed Izoduwa is Odùduwà the first king of the Yorubas. The Igalas are a Yoruboid group but I don't know their ancestry. There are claims that Onitsha is a colony of the binis. That seems to be the connection I might not be right ooo 1 Like |

Clentuzbaba:As for the present you are right on point but for our past history, you are wrong sire. Have you taken ur time to read books by Africans and neutral rather than European accounts. Have you opened books on 'HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA' and 'WHEN WE RULED'. Have you heard of the Mali empire which the lowest scholar has atleast a over thousand collections of books, the Benin empire, the Igbo ukwu art, the aso oke making. No, you haven't. Africa was rich and but was plundered and destroyed. Just look if i want to see the wonders of my forefathers i have to get to Europe. The Great wall of benin, the Ghana empire. The richest in the history of humanity is African is Mansa Musa of great mali, a man who bought close to 6000 scholars from Mecca, a man who singlehandedly brought gold down for ten years. The scholars of timbuktu now an improverished town in Mali knew our world (earth) revolved around the sun when their counterparts in Europe believed it was flat. Our books where burnt, our royals killed, our philosophers murdered. That was our AFRICA 1 Like

Kalapizim:Do i have to explain this to you? Countries all over the world have Submarines. Submarines are effective in military because they allow a stealth way to enter into enemy waters and possible attack. And because other countries have also expanded their navies to include submarines, it is an absolute must for the Nigeria to also have submarines to counteract. Military sophistication zero and you claim u are giant of Africa. Submarines are most prominent in navies; however, they are also used in other venues. In recent decades, they have become much more commonly used as a research tool as well. They allow scientists to travel deep into the see and study deep water sea life. One of the thing used to know how developed a country is is SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. 3 Likes |
