Niiiice. It will teach us in the South and Yorubaland specifically how to gradually learn to live and wean ourselves of dependence on killer Fulani cows for our daily protein intake in preparation for the eventual showdown. And since the SouthWest has the highest purchasing power in the country & also the 1st / 2nd most populated geopolitical zone, therefore where the Fulas make the most income/money from selling their cattle in all of West Africa, we can gradually divest the money we would rather spend on cows elsewhere. Fish farmers and Chicken / Turkey producers, Snail farmers get ready. Pig rearers and those interested in herding goats commercially should also rise to the challenge. Merchants of blood can go fu*k themselves. 188 Likes 9 Shares |

And how is that different from a Rosary with crucifix on a catholic's neck or a Japamala on a Buddhist or Hindu's neck?? Besides, is Yoruba written on the mans 'bumbum'? How did the poster know his ethnicity? Charms & amulets are a prominent feature of many African cultures from east to west, north to south. One of the major issues with the use of social media the world over is that people believe anything they see on SM without asking the important questions. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Vardanes2: Ghana is NOWHERE as diverse as Southern Nigeria, talk more the whole of Nigeria. Botswana even far less. Ghana might have a couple of tribes, but it is politically and demographically dominated by the Akans, spearheaded by the Asantes. Botswana literally comes from the Name of the homeland of the Batswana people. Botswana is a homogeneous country (pretty much) with inconsequential ethnic minority communities. |

LukasPodolski: Bros you can’t be boasting with the cosmopolitan population of Ilorin saying one polling booth there will cover entire townships in Kwara south and yet in the same breath be re-iterating that the city is 90% muslim. Ilorin that I know today is not even 70% muslim talk more of a whole 90! You either talk about just the native and their average populace or the city as a whole with its huge population but also in all its diversity. Don’t contradict yourself. 1 Like 1 Share |

TAO11: Actually Europeans have been known to make such spurious claims about various African ethnic groups in that era, based exclusively on the littoral kingdoms they managed to make contact with along the coastlines such as Dahomey, Benin, Ashanti and a cameroonian coastal kingdom known as Biafara. It is all lies they went back to their home nations in Europe to cook up in tales of wild and exotic Africa in an era of restrained ability to navigate the interior and various issues with cartography. They made such lavish statements and even said there was a vast chain of mountains in the interior of west Africa spanning from east to west known as the Kong hills.... Of course we know better now that they were all untrue. ohhhh and of course like you righty said if the people involved don't have an intergenerational oral history of it happening, backed up by cultural and geographical realities on ground, then it is of course downright false. 7 Likes 1 Share |

As for Ikwerres, I don't really give a F what kind of stories they cook up just to dissociate themselves from the Igbos, including going all the way to ile ibinu to claim their fore-bearers came from there... that is an internal matter in the eastern region. But you see in this our Ghana (Aflao)-Togo (Kpalime/Lome)-Benin(Seme Kpodji, Ifonyin/Idi-Iroko)-Nigeria quadri-border region ehhn ....

Watch how they will go from..."No, we don't call a queen Olori and it isn't even a Bini word" to.... "The Oloi/Olori of Benin is different from the Yoruba Olori" to.... "It is a shared common word from Niger Congo" to...... "It is an original Bini word that entered into Yoruba" .... Benin people, una DOH!

TAO11: In Owan part of Edo North they use “Oje” While others still use “Ojie” Last names like Aidenoje/gie//je Eidenoje/jie/gie Aidelogie/jie/je Can be found all over Edo... meaning you do not challenge the KING. The target word here being King. All buttressing the points we are trying to make here. Once you start understanding Edo languages and traditions - it is just actually quite easy to bust these peoples lies. The problem is usually that most Yorubas don’t understand the inner working of Edo land and their language- but majority of them do have some knowledge of ours, hence most times it is easy for them to weave a backstory by looking for loopholes in Yoruba oral traditions. I call it “afterthought“ or “retrospective history”.. They’ve become actually quite good at it. 11 Likes 7 Shares |

babtoundey: Ohhh okay. They have a mother tongue called Oko. They are not exactly Yorubas though. If they eventually become Yoruba it will be by assimilation and not foundational ethnic affinity.... That process is already complete or near complete in some closer villages like Ikakumo and Ayanran in northern Edo (as an example)

samuk: The Benins have always wished this to be the case unfortunately for Benins it isn't .. and the shadow cast by the Oba from Yorubaland will forever continue to loom heavily over Benin's entire existence. But don't worry, I understand the feeling. I guess the following Yoruba towns and villages did not exist until recently ko? Ilu Omoba - Ekiti Obajana - Kogi Obadore Omuo - Ekiti Gaa Oba - Kwara Too much to even start listing. Also, all the Oja Oba (Oba's market located usually beside the palace and right in the middle of the old quarters) in virtually every Yoruba town didn't exist either... Just google Oja Oba and see the plethora of locations you get. From Ilorin to Akure to Ado to Ibadan to Osogbo to Kabba to Oyo township.. These institutions are not called Oja Deji or Oja Alaafin or Oja Obaro or Oja Olu. They are known as Oja Oba throughout Yorubaland. Even Obalufon from ife who has a famous copper alloy mask circa 1300s was also given permission to be Oba by binis who were probably still at crossroads whether to completely ditch the Ogiso title or not. You Benin people are just Jokers. One mistake (or maybe it is actually deliberate) that you people usually make is that y'all make automatic assumptions due to the lack of knowledge of Yoruba language you people automatically culturally appropriate anything from Yorubaland in your kingdom and misrepresent some very fundamentally Yoruba things even in Yorubaland. Someone from Urhonigbe than has absolutely zero Idea that Eti in Yoruba means ear, edge or bank and Osa means Tide or Lagoon in Yoruba language will just come from Siluko road and start talking about how Eti Osa local government means "Power of God" and how the first settlers came from bini land. If I start making a list of Yoruba and Yoruba derived words and calques in the Bini language, I will get to page 13 on this Nairaland lasan. smh 15 Likes 15 Shares |
