Opiletool:
Oga shut up. Those who left Benin to settle in neighbouring yoruba towns were those who left ife to rule benin with oranmiyan, but later left oranmiyan at benin when they found the igodomigodo people unruly and unreasonably aggressive. Hence the reason oranmiyan himself had to leave the place after naming it land of vexation {Ile ibinu, corrupted to bini, then benin}.

When Oranmiyan gave birth to eweka, and left the Benin in anger.

Benin people claimed Oranmiyan is Benin.
Why is it that Oranmiyan that created Oyo didn't influence Benin culture on Oyo people?

Why Is it that some of Yoruba gods still dey appear in Benin...

The royalties in some part of ekiti are edos no doubt and some commoners who had integrated to yoruba culture can still be found there

And you guys refuse to accept that the royalties of Benin has Yoruba blood.

gregyboy:

gregyboy:

The edos did the thesame to the other part of yorubas
Its funny now that egusi and pounded yam is now a general delicacy in nigeria a food originally
Giving to idol

Okay let me not speak for others.
Lemme speak for my own city.
(Ondo City).

Please take 2 - 4mins of your time to go through this.

Pupupu, a female, was one of the twin children of Oba Oluaso, who was said to have reigned in Oyo in the 15th Century. The other twin, a male, was named Orere. Twin birth in those days was considered an abomination and a strange phenomenon, esemawe, as a historical source interpreted it. Conventionally, the twins and their mother were instantly put to death, to prevent the imminent bad omen which was believed to be synonymous with their arrival. But because Olu, the mother of the children was one of the favourites of the King, her life and those of the twins were spared. They were however with an entourage of slaves under the guidance of a hunter called Ija, sent out of the palace with a beaded crown and an Akoko tree, signifying their royalty. Those were to accord them the dignity and the reverence due to royalty. Again, their father against the tradition of multi tribal marks of Oyo, incised two long tribal marks, one on each side of the cheek. Oluaso was apparently conscious of the fact that he may not set his eyes on the children for a long time, hence those facial marks were incised on them, so that they would be recognizable any time they were seen or if they came back home. This explains the origin of the tribal marks of Ondo to date.

The group wandered through the forest till they got to a place called Epin, near Gbere, whose inhabitants were referred to as Ibariba. They were well received and catered for until the death of Oba Oluaso in 1497. They headed back to Oyo when the succeeding king did not treat them fairly, but Onigbogi, the reigning king had to send them back to a virgin land compassed about by Ife, Ijesa, Ekiti, Ado(Benin) and Ijebu communities. They later got to Igbo Ijamo (the forest discovered by Ija). The group apparently stayed in this place for some time. Eventually they found lgbo Ijamo unsafe and therefore continued their journey eastward, until they finally got to a place called Epe, not far from the present Ondo town.

They were in Epe for many years and as they journeyed on, they passed through a hill which is today known as Oke Agunla and one of the communities that make up the present day Ondo Kingdom. From this hill, they spotted some smoke and headed in its direction. There they met a man called Ekiri one of the original inhabitants of the area. The Ifa oracle, as was the usual practice then, was consulted on the prospects of the newly found location. The oracle instructed them to take along with them a yam stake (edo), as their walking stick. They were to poke the stick into the ground as they went along their way, and wherever the stick didn’t bond with the land, they were to settle.

The group left Epe and proceeded as instructed by the oracle until they got to a place where the yam stake did not penetrate the ground. The group chorused in surprise Edo du do, (The yam stake would not stick in). According to oral history, the word Ondo is a contraction of the sentence “Edo du do”.

Lari03r:
Lol, what repercussions did Fayose face?

Please don't further expose the sheer powerlessness of the Obas' when financial muscle is considered. Fayose was a thorn in the flesh to the man.

To the extent that Fayemi was disrespected by the Oba of Ado-Ekiti openly championing the cause of PDP in 2010 before the court judgment which ousted Segun Oni, and subsequently it took a while before they began to support his government after Fayemi's 1st term began.

Fayemi can dethrone all 16 of them if he wants, as he is the defacto Pelupelu(Authority) in the land as things stand.

Mentioning the Kiriji war from the Alaafin, I am disappointed by this information from the palace because the great Ekiti warriors who fought the wars were arrested by the British colonialists.

If the letter from the Alaafin was to invite the British, then it goes to show that Oyo which had fought with Ado-Ekiti within a space of 20-50 years, before the Kiriji wars with the Tapas', wrote those letters out of jealousy to stem the rise of mighty Ekiti Warriors, who would have gone ahead to conquer their enemies and seek to extend their influence.

So this Greek gift in form of a letter is not welcome, brothers we are, but let all Yorubas know that the sons of Oduduwa are the Kings and not the followers and generality of the Ekaaro Ojire people.

Oduduwa means "falsehood/trickery became a habit/character". Let that information sink in, then you will understand why the Kings are surrounded by Ogbonis and Oloyes, steeped in deep esoteric occultic mysticism.

The Kings themselves are from one source and they came to power via occultic schemes and they spread from Ikorodu to Benin using occultic powers of divination and sorcery to ascend the thrones, if this is the season for them to receive the sum total of the accumulated reward of their treachery and that of their forefathers, who are we to complain on their behalf?

While the traditional institutions must be respected, we need history and context to set our opinions right at a time when cultural realignment may be in sight.

Paragraph 1 -3
Fayose suffered disgrace and was humiliated during Ewi of Ado's daughter wedding. (in a church)
Even mimiko and other kings couldn't intervene.. He was disgraced.
He even came back to Ewi palace and beg cause after the election was over he was not able to enter government house or so. It happened in 2018.
Did you know how fayose humiliated Ewi in 2003

Paragraph 4
I didn't say Fayemi can't dethroned them.
But ther will be chaos and crisis in the land and the governor won't be able to curtail it.

Paragraph 5 - 6
I don't know about that.

I hope she won't be giving the Boko Haram information if eventually she was released.
If not release her

helinues:
Do you understand what Emirate means?

Told you the Guy IQ has minus (-)

Isinweke:
You people have been trying to create fake history.

Keep deceiving themselve.

Bini is older than Yoruba
Benin Kingdom is older than all Yoruba empire.

Yorubas are Benis. Not the other way round

What the fvck??
Yorubas are Benins??
How??
Explain??

helinues:
How many Emirs are in Kwara state compared to Obas?

Are you minding him
He said ilorin is Ilu Orin Ilu Orin ko. Ilu banta nii...

SciLab:
It is in Ilorin (ilu Orin) and ran by the Emir Sulu-gambari who is a subordinate to the Fulani-run Sokoto caliphate.

Lol...
Ilorin is not (Ilu Orin) have you seen where you're wrong ..

So, ilorin now translates to all Yorubaland

SciLab:
Does yorubaland have a fulani emirate? Yes!

Yorubaland was colonized. Case closed.

Where does the Fulani emirate stays?
Where is he's reach?
What part of Yorubalamd was colonized
Evidence?
How many towns have Fulani emirate?
What is the language of those/that town(s)

SciLab:
Does yorubaland have a fulani emirate? Yes!

Yorubaland was colonized. Case closed.

Finally I've seen your IQ... It has a minus (-) sign..

SciLab:
The Dahomey colonized yorubaland after defeating their warriors with menstruating and pregnant women fighters.

Fulanis also colonized yorubaland and put an Emirate in it.

Facts and Factoids.

Sorry oo.
How many towns in Yoruba Land speaks Fulani or has emir?

Lemme see your IQ

Mymynd4u:
You are probably sick or demented

Where did bini colonize
Where did igala colonized


Pls rethink again n write sense

Try to read history.
I might not say colonized but has influence

Mymynd4u:
Remove ondo state..... Don't use close promixity to judge

I had to intervene at this junction


I think Benin has influence in Owo people

Fayemi should ask Fayose the aftermath when he wantoto remove Ewi of Ado Ekiti

Fayemi should read about what caused the death of Bode Thomas...

He's well grounded in Yoruba, why is he behaving like an outsider??

Regional government

Lol...
Audio money. That will end in the hands of local governments chairmen

gregyboy:
Edo/benin families can still be found in edo and ekiti till date
You are simply stating the obvious

I did mention it in my post

by the way, is it because I mentioned pounded yam?

Note that Yorubas have been eating yam long before You start your empire...

gregyboy:
Edo/benin families can still be found in edo and ekiti till date
You are simply stating the obvious

I did mention it in my post

I'm only responding to born2breed that says Amala is Yoruba food..
Which is wrong...

Those that liked Amala very well are those that were conquered by Oyo empire...
From Oyo to Ogbomosho to Kwara then Osun...

Ondo, Ekiti, Ijebu, Egba.. Ijesha don't like Amala as much as the states I mentioned above...

You can never go to Ekiti or Ondo and tell us Amala is our best food or we liked it that much, you go receive a sounding slap..


Pounded yam and Eba is our food.


Now back to u, you said Edo and Benin families are found in Ekiti.
Where in ekiti??

Born2Breed:
Sometimes it's good to be a little less silly when mentioning others. You are definitely being hyper silly now.

That's the plain truth deal with it.
Not all Yorubas liked Amala or fancy it.
You just sit down in your house and dishing out false info

Born2Breed:
Any Benin occasion without pounded yam and egusi is incomplete.

Yoruba's are always amala n ewedu while the Igbo's are akpu and bitterleaf soup or oha.

Sometimes if you don't know what to say just shut up...

Oyo and Ogbomosho axis like Amala and ewedu...very well

It's not common in Ondo and Ekiti..

Pounded yam/Eba is our food for Ondo..

I don't for once like Amala.

Oga oooo

babyfaceafrica:
Are those plenty... Native!!

They are not native

babyfaceafrica:
are they native there?

The Apoi's of ondo state are not yorubas, they migrated from Apoi clan in Bayelsa state just like the Arogbos that migrated from Gbaraun in Bayelsa state...the Apoi's bear Yoruba names nd speak like them because of the influence of their neighbours I.e the ikales and the Ilajes..Even the arogbos include some Yoruba words to the Ijaw dialect they speak...As I am talking to you, the Apoi's have traced their origin to the Apoi clan of Bayelsa state which speak the same dialect ijaw like the Arogbos and have started calling their kids ijaw names
