Troop to the land of skull miners and human part dealers. Godforbid!!

Keep deceiving yourself, your generation are all over that region but I wonder why they haven't mine their skull yet.

NORSYK:
That's the only business that thrives in that region

But your generation won't stop trooping to that region to push wheelbarrow and hawk puff puff

[quote author=gregyboy post=89718250][/quote]Lol Ada Ogun that is part of Yoruba culture is what you claim is Benin lol

Do you even know the way Benin king use to dress with beads was how Yoruba kings used to dress in the past?

ernieboy:
oga which history did u study in school? at what time was Benin ever a colony of yoruba, infact apart from the old oyo empire, the yoruba never even has a strong empire that was capable of holding vasal states. the eradication of history from school curriculum by obj has really affected many of you.

Yoruba never has a strong empire but I guess dahomey kingdom was part of Hausa empire.

Benin was a Yoruba Colony

gregyboy:
We gave the title oba to yorubas when our oba led military conquest to yoruba areas since 1400
During the time of oba ewuare


Ww are researching if truly Oronmiyan really cane to beninas you said but no evidence not evem from the oyo son book history of yoruba writing by Samuel johson in 1897 samuel johson wrote that oromiyan never visited benin


I teied to also find writing record from European in benin on benin-ife relationships but there Was no mention...


Oba title is indigenous


Oba eweka of benin told the story if it's origin to ife for political reasons just the way your oba stole the title oba to raise the yoruba monarchial prestige to the world

Benin was a Yoruba Colony go and read your history again

Igbosmoker:
I don't know why some yorubas are so obsess and want Benins to claim yoruba as cousin.

You claim oduduwa fell from heaven, some even claim he trekked from middle East to ile ife, you don't see benins trying to persuade you people out of your myth stories.

Even oba of Lagos can attest to it, there's the king in ondo that claim he's from Benin, there are many king's in South West that claim Benin origin and they all have our symbol of authority but you'll never see a Benin king claiming he's Yoruba

No Yoruba is obsessed with Benin and want Benin for anything, we are more than enough but it is just annoying when you guys peddle falsehood online.

You will never see a Benin king claiming Yoruba when Benin king is actually a Yoruba man lol, keep deceiving yourselves

temptnow:
But the South South that have been feeding you ungrateful people nkor

Why are you in severe pain?

TheGreatFinesse:
Only one rice Mill in the whole useless region

So why are you in so much pain?

The same useless region your generation won't stop trooping to and cry marginalization whenever they threaten to chase away your parasitic ass

agadez007:
Geddifock outta here

look for an Oyo or Osun man,You are not worthy of my reply

Keep this kinda practice among Igbo

agadez007:
Do states need to share borders before they influence each other??
This one is not even a pure Ekiti man,Ekiti and Ondo states are a mixture of Yoruba and Edo people

What do you think the Ado in Ado Ekiti means

We don't do that pure or fake shit, you guys do in Igbo Land to refer to yourselves in Yoruba Land.

You are really very stupid assuming it was really true Edo influenced Ekiti and they named a place in Ekiti, what does it prove?


Britain influenced Nigeria. We adopted their language and they also named us, does that means we are no longer Nigerians?

Igala people also influenced Igbo In Anambra, even Edo people influenced Igbo in Onitsha does that means they are no longer Igbo or they are fake Igbo ? Go and buy sense

agadez007:
Its even somebody from Ekiti talking
Pass the Device to an Oyo person,That's the real Yoruba people,Ekiti is mixed with Edo blood

We don't have fake or real Yoruba like Igbo have fakes or real Igbo, all Yoruba are real Yoruba

Sammy07:
Going by their logic
He said
Oba means shining and is an etymology word.

While it means King.

Why is it that Only in interpreting their Oba as a title (Omo'oba n'oba....) it means Shining

While Interpreting Oba in some of their names
means King.

While Obaseki doesn't mean King or shining.


Like I don't go to school? that they'll be twisting my head with lies.

Or I wasn't educated

Please leave them and let them claim whatever they like or else you will just be stressing yourself, goodnight

Maliqcious:
please name the supreme kings in yorubaland apart from formal benin colonies in Yorubaland that Uses the title Oba. Please non-benin Oba is never a yoruba name it was borrowed from the Yorubas. You can tell from benin names. Periodt

Which Benin Colony are you talking about when Benin itself was a Yoruba Colony?

Sammy07:
I told you the guy no go school.

In onisha.
They call it like this.

The Obi of Onisha, Igwe so so so.

In Yoruba
They call it like this.
Alaafin of Oyo, Oba so so so.


Why didn't he say Obi of onisha should be addressed like.

The Obi of onisha, Obi Vincent Emeka

Or they should say.
The Igwe of Onisha, Igwe Vicent emeka

Honestly I don't like arguing with them same as many Yoruba because they will make it seem like you are the one trying desperately to associate with them where as we really don't give a f.uck.

The best thing is to leave them to claim whatever they like, "Oba" that a five years old know it meaning in Yoruba is what they claimed Yoruba stole from them.

gregyboy:
... Wetin you dey talk guy....

You dey talk nonsense


What does title represent



The benin oba title is

Omo n oba nedo ukwakpolopolo ewuare no gidigan (full title)


In short form he is called omo n oba or oba

You are the one talking nonsense. Everyone know "Oba" is a Yoruba word

You said name like "Ooni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo, Owa of Obokun, Alake of Egbaland" etc are the real names of kings in Yoruba Land but they are just titles like that of Benin you called "Omo n Oba nedo"

The only difference is that Yoruba usually call out their kings with their titles in any publication. "Oba" means King in Yoruba but we call out our kings with their titles.

Lastmankc:
What is the meaning of olaniyi? Or Ramuotu? Those names have funny meaning in ibo dialect

Olaniyi means "Wealth have Honour" in Yoruba


Ramuotu is a Muslim name from the Quraan

gregyboy:
What i said was it was adopted in the 1970 as general title to represent kingship in Yoruba in replacement of sir


Benin got this word oba to yorubas long time ago while conquering you lot

What is this one saying?

Oba means King in Yoruba Language but words like Ooni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo, Owa of Obokun etc are all titles.

Sammy07:
If it means Bright.
I have two questions.


1. What does Obaseki means


2. Give me 5 Edo words that's has Oba in between, and tell me their meanings

Guy are you new on Nairaland?

Stop arguing about Yoruba and Edo, let them claim whatever they like

Tmb78:
WEAR YOUR GLASSES IGBO MAN
NO YORUBA WOMAN IS FINE O.THEY ARE ALL UGLY.THEY DON'T EVEN MARRY BECAUSE THEIR MEN ARE CONSTANTLY RUNNING AWAY FROM THEM.

Pls,maintain status quo,don't deviate from your usual rant.
Yeye

You must be referring to your Gorilla looking Igbo women with hairy body and Yam legs

Yoruba women don't marry but who are those getting married every Saturday across Yoruba Land? Very stupid Nyamirin

Kudos to Aketi

Tranquillity360:
Don't mind Ibos.

Even If we don't have money to throw owanbe party,we will just sell one of our land to chukudi.

We must continue partying

Like Chukudi the Gala seller have the money to pay for the Land tell him to pay his Yoruba Landlord first for his house rent

Tranquillity360:
No Igbo man will eat this shit...

But you can eat this shit, you call Nsala?

I know he must be a Yoruba man, Congratulation

Kudos to Lagos state government

Ezmans:
A tribe that have lost all there property to other tribe, mile 12 market to hausa, alaba int & trade fair to igbos, the only thing they get now is standing on the sun opening there dirty mouth & begging for 50 naira from motorist, shame on you people

Lost all their properties to other tribe but none of your generation is on forbes list

The same tradefair that was closed down last year and all Igbo were crying online before they opened it and an Iyaloja was installed in Alaba without Igbo consent.

delawal:

How many industries mention one?
