And how did he know Benin was not civilized as Oyo since he was never there?

One question

Do you believe Ododuwa fell from sky with a bag of soil in his hand that is spread across the face of the earth today? I need your sincere answer

that is our mythical origin just like the Jews have their, Abraham came from present day Iran by t nobody say he was an Iranian, for he was nothing but the progenitor of the Jews.

ritababe:
your first kind is a bini man true or false?

he was our progenitor, our father, where he came from was irrelevant what you are trying to infer is like me telling Europeans they are Africans because they came from Africa.

AreaFada2:
But religion is mind control technique before na.

In my local Anglican church, if not for Afro-Caribbean immigrants, it would have turned club house since. We have less than 10% whites attending it.

Except maybe USA, whites have long moved on from religion.

true sha
I thought you were a religious dude being hypocritical about the Yoruba religion as nothing but mythological while believing your religion was factual, but I can a see that I was wrong about you, my sincere apologies.

I thought you were a religious dude being hypocritical about the Yoruba's religion as mythical while believing in yours as real, but I can now see you are not like that, my sincere apologies.

ritababe:
really?

yes China
check it out on your own time, I mean our history is practically the only history that was not successfully cleared out by the slavemasters , the only history and tradition that survived in the Americas, our language is spoken all over there, the numo ero head of the Cuban "STATE CHURCH" is one of our son considering he came to ile life to prostrate to the ooni of ife, same with Brazil where we have kings ruling regions. " WE ARE FAR AHEAD OF YOU".

brownlord:
Who said that?

he did by not going along with them and rather sending his son to them.

AreaFada2:
My brother, you wonder how impeccably educated people like Yoruba simply discard science and logic to cling to mythical stuff like someone turning into a river. Very amusing I tell ya.

the same with the genus IQ Jews and European Christians clinging to God creating heaven and earth, and the Christians clinging to Jesus walking on water.

ritababe:
exactly, they know how to start war and when the war start they start crying for help.

we Yoruba's are suyalysing the Nupes and not the other way around, we were the ones that won the civil war for this country with our superior military tactics the only ones to have ever put the Fulani invaders in their place.

brownlord:
He said what?

I said he was more interested in overseeing the affairs of the civilized Oyo empire than the Benin empire.

Jesusloveyou:
a simple question to settle dis rift,- before dividing d country into region then state, who was d head of d empire, - benin kingdom(empire) and yoruba kingdom or empire, we are only aware of benin kingdom,nothing like yoruba kingdom, benin kingdom extende from ondo to onitsha, and is because of sharing into region and state that reduce d benin empire, in Ooni of ife view- because benin were group into western region that makes he think benin is under yoruba empire, for ur information we only had benin kingdom which extend to lagos and cotonou even togo, d president of togo bears bini name

the president of Benin republic bears a Yoruba name and is a Yoruba man, there are Yoruba kings in Benin republic, and there are far more Yoruba's in Togo than there are Benin's there I.e adebayo the Togolese striker.

brownlord:
Izoduwa I know, oduduwa I know not

what difference does that make he chose the Oyo empire to rule over and sent his son to rule over the Benin empire

check out the "Oyo empire" before spewing your ignorance.

brownlord:
metal what?

So you rather believe oduduwa Fell from heaven/sky with a bag of soil that's spread across the face of the earth than he was a prince in Benin who got banished and wandered into the forest, right?


Was earth without form and void, water everywhere and the inhabitant lived like fish before oduduwa came and transformed everyone to human?

Why not think along the line, that the bini prince got banished from Benin and went into the forest, discovered by Yorubas and then regarded him as God sent and made him king than they tales of how he felt from sky with soil and all trash you are fed with.

As a child, there was always a saying that "Oba owns the land from here to oversea" I kept wondering in my ignorance then how it was possible. It got to a stage before I said to myself what they actually met was in every country, state or town was first ruled by an Oba before other forms of government was introduced.

oduduwa falling from sky and other stories you are fed with that made you believe he's descendant was sent to Benin doesn't make sense any sane person than a prince banished from Benin and found in another region and was regarded as god sent since and then made oba

dude what did I say and what are you saying, I said you learnt metal works from us, check out for yourself the head of ice bronze work which predated any metal works in Benin.

lovings:
Very soon the Yorubas will also claim Calabar, Asaba, Uyo, Onitsha, Agbor, Ekot Ekpene, Opobo, Port Harcourt, and Bonny or even some part of Cameroun as expansive Yoruba kingdom.


Yorubas do not only have hate and foolishness in abundance, they have greed and fear as well.

Bini kingdom made it clear that they are not part of yorubaland rather that the Yoruba settlers borrowed their word "Oba" and some of their cultures.

Benin's are not part of the Yoruba land, but they are part of the oduduwa ( odu-to-da-iwa) dynasty; which created the Yoruba race.

omoseth:
It seems the Ooni really wants to steer up controversy at this early stage of his reign. I was really expecting him to have refrained from joining issues. Edo ne mose! A Land where Kings are born and not made#Proudofmyrootandculture

Oba gha okpere..Iseeee!

you learnt metal works from us.

Analysiscorner:
Exactly, my dear! In Igbo traditional society, there is no adult that frowns at a widow having a lover in her late husband's home. Rather, many atimes, they encourage her to stay and bear children for the husband.
It is only adolescents who are immature that go to poke nose on the affairs of such widow and her lover.

in Yoruba tradition it is disgusting.

[size=13pt]Most sensible answer BY FAR!![/size]
I definitely don't support sex outside marriage but last time I checked the woman is a widow!!!
What she does and who she does it with is strictly her business as her husband is dead.
And why would the step son keep saying that it is his father's house? At 41, shouldn't he either be living in his own house or building his house?
?

Its his fathers house and in an African culture your father's house is yours.

SemuhleB:
**** How is the step mother whoring around? Is she still married? Is she having sex with multiple men? She is single and having a boyfriend is allowed as she is not cheating. That house is also her house so it also belongs to her. So must she go and do it outside or do it in a hotel for the rest of her life? So all those men who remarried new wives or in relationships should also respect their deceased wife by never spending time with them at their own house? Surely you are not this moronic. I am suspicious about the son in law. I won't be surprised that he has the hoohah for his step mother and that's why he was so against the relationship and attacked the guy. He could have spoken to his mother in law sincerely about it but he decided to kill instead. I mean if you stab someone in the head what did he expect would happen

your supporting the bi&&tch because you are birds of a feather, damn you Sa girls are wh&&&res.
How can she bring another lover to her late husband's house, knowing fully well that his son her step-son lives there, that was very disrespectful of her. Considering the possibility that the mans family probably just tolerated her seeing as she was not their mother, and the house definitely belongs to the mans children she definitely is a LovePeddler.

stfu dude that is yabatech gate, and not some office.

Clone2020:
You can do the opposite of these and still not succeed. Success is also 10% luck.

what are you saying
tho you might not succeed but at least you should try and be optimistic as well as persistent.

1. There is no need to rush here if you still have parents willing to take care of you, its even better if you do and save up all excess flow of cash.
And also not all tough decisions made are right, sometimes you need to cool down and think.
2. Goals and plans without execution and luck is a waste of time.
3. Well this categories are idiots.
4. Also idiot's a lot of religious fanatics fall here.
5. Switch from doing things you force yourself to do to things you love, I.e your passion; and you will thank me later.

The wise ones are now abandoning the despotic sole administrator to his fate

His support base has waned and the camp of the 'enemies' (good and disappointed masses) is swelling by the day.

He isn't slowing down and will never do.

Indeed, Buhari has become a rolling stone heading down the abyss through a steep slop.
Every wise man must give chance and only push from behind after he gets past.

Safe journey Buhari

Damn dude you have finished me with laughter and truthful words
I was once his supporter but now I can see he is clueless and partial to his corrupt friends and blood thirsty Fulani herdsmen.

k

America is a ticking time bomb.

k
this is lovely
he seems like a really nice guy

LordAdam:
The truth is simple. SR has already provided one side of story. One of the major reasons why the president traveled to the UK was for a medical checkup. Apparently, his doctors needed more time to take more tests and give him a clean bill of health. To not cause murmur and uproar for just staying back, the presidency was quick to tag it a vacation.

Why would they tell us the president is on vacation only after he has gotten to his vacation spot? With the myriad of problems in Nigeria, does it not make sense to tell us weeks beforehand. Even, in the US where presidents are used to having annual vacations, the populace know before hand. This is not change and since he says he is a man of integrity, he should be honest and upfront with Nigerians, not providing room of doubts and conspiracy theories.

Na so Yar'Adua own take start. I wish PMB well, a peaceful vacation, and more grease to his elbow when he resumes his duties.
