DOTian:

No
It was there all along..
Just that the locals didn't know what to do with it because they were busy with owameda...

And yet it was still “founded” by the 110 year old man

Lori irọ

Kudos to the phantom founders

Ebi2233:


I have Yoruba tribal marks too, because I was born in Yoruba area.
come and claim me as Yoruba

OIL RIVERS STATE
…Why Ibeno opted out - IBENOS DENY BEING IJAW

The National Coordinator of Ikpoto Akwa Ibom, one of the several groups campaigning for Etteh, Mr. Nsima Uwak, however, says the Ijaws know that Ibeno is not an Ijaw territory and cannot, therefore, lay claim to it. According to him, Ibeno was founded by Mbang, a brother to Ukpabang, the progenitor of Oron Nation. “This informs the wide acceptability of Etteh among the Oron,” Uwak said.

Ijaws can claim for Africa.

Ebi2233:


You are more confused than Buhari.
Tell Sowore from Apoi West clan, that he is not Ijaw. And tell both the Ijaw National Affairs Commissioner and the Ijaw Youth Council President Worldwide both from Obolo that they are not Ijaws.

Lmao. Sowore is a Yoruba man even with tribal mark. Anyways Apois (which I highly doubt will follow any Ijaw nation) and arogbos can do whatever they like, just know that the entire coast is Ilaje territory and a NO-GO Area.

... Anywyas, everyone have said their own.

jneutron4000:
We know how you migrated to Ese Odo in Ondo state, make Una no do pass Una self Una dey live there peacefully and una get all right to live there but if 9ja breaks today, no single part of Ese Odo wey no go dey under Yoruba Nation. As I speak now, in some part of Ogun creek there are some Ijaws who have migrated to that place now, and they are giving birth and as well aggregating their community, we welcome them and maybe in the next 500 years to come, they will start claiming ownership if they do not integrate properly. That Yoruba Anthem has being passed, if not for the Nigeria government using their constitution, una go get the mind to even protest against am before?

Gbam.

Ebi2233:

Whatever you say, is your personal problem what is an enclave, then what did u say? Them no tell your mumu say I study English and literary studies, for University.

Thief Ole... Una wan carry people coastline dey go ijo republic. Lmao.... If you need a guide, You better check Adaka boro's ijo republic for cross reference of where you should be claiming.
Akwa Cross nation have been sleeping, Ijaws will soon steal you people's entire coastline..

Ebi2233:


Okay, go and tell that the Obolo man who is the Ijaw National Affairs Commissioner and the other Obolo guy who is the Ijaw Youth Council President Worldwide.
Them no tell u say that time wey them say Ijaw Youth Council President kidnapped, that was the Obolo guy

Ijaws with their double logic....

You people claim Ibenos, and Obolos/Andonis that don't speak your language as Ijos but at the same time want to claim Apoi that don't eve now what ordinary water is in Izon..

See the Apois you people are claiming...smh.

Ebi2233:


Tompolo is from Gbaramatu go and tell him he is Itsekiri.
Deputy Governor of Delta state too,
Tell him too.

You have reading problems.

I said Gbaramatu are an enclave. Did I say they are Itsekiris. ?

Ebi2233:


The present Ijaw National Affairs Commissioner Patrick Erasmus is an Obolo man from Andoni LGA. Rivers Ijaw.

The present Ijaw Youth Council President Worldwide.
Timothy Peter Igbifa is from Eastern Obolo Akwa-Ibom Ijaw, another Obolo person again.

Obolos are not Ijaws, talk less of Ibinos. Face the truth brah.....
Andonis are not Ijows in majority.... That is the truth.

Ebi2233:


In this map which of them are not Ijaws

lol, some of those tiny tiny fishing camps and hamlets you guys are labelling as "towns"... some of them not even up to 200 people are in Itsekiri lands.... You people stylishly renamed some of those towns into Ijaw names to make them irrecognizeable. Una rename Aja igbo dudu (black forest) in itsekiri. Gbaramatus are an enclave in itsekiri, abi you didn't know that?

Una label all your Ijo camps, but how about all the settlement of others in those lands you people want to steal.... you think you can wish them out of existence because you didn't label them??

The truth of the matter is that Ijaws can not claim anything beyond Forcados river.

Pushing it anything beyond that will give you guys SERIOUS problems.
The Entire coast is dominated by ilaje up to Ogheye eghoroke and Agogboro... {Even into parts of Ugborodo , although the itsekiris are the customary land owners there}. In Warri North the Itsekiris are the Majority.... Ilajes are also significant, followed by Ijaws. ....The Benin river estuary and the Warri Kingdom is dominated by ITSEKIRIS. The ijaws there are in enclaves and their migratory history to some of these places is well known, including those who moved up the Osse and Siluko rivers into edo forest reserves to lumber trees for making dug-out canoes business.... So tell me, how you people want to connect the whole thing and pretend like there aren't others there, and on land traditionally belong to other tribes for that matter.

To make matters worse, these expansionists are even claiming lands belonging to ibeno and Obolo that speak Benue-Congo languages related to Oron, Ibibio and Efik as Ijaws.... Ujons are jokers.

WesternOligarch:



Thanks for this, I'd do well to read the article. Although am not sure if they where masonic groups, probably just common interest groups.

Description on the Yorubas of The Bahamas

While black communities grew in size and number during the nineteenth century, outlets for their participation in greater society remained relatively small. Social organizations outside of the family unit were largely absent for Nassauvian creoles. What little Afro-centric organizations existed in Nassau, such as the few “Yoruba Societies” that dotted the Bahamas after 1836, had light membership. And, while evidence suggests that some black Nassauvians were members of masonic organizations since at least 1817, it is not clear whether any masonic organizations in Nassau actually accepted non-whites for the first half of the 1800’s. This suggests that any black masons in Nassau had migrated from other areas after receiving masonic initiation [12]. Besides family life, religion was the only consistent mode of social organization for Nassau’s creoles in colonial times. Methodists preachers had clearly reaches most of Nassau’s enslaved population during the 1700’s, and beginning in 1801, black Baptist churches began to appear in Nassau. Despite their tremendous presence in Nassau, however, creoles were often excluded from participating in most public institutions, relegating their social role to that of second-class citizens.

Is that a drainage path / covered culvert underneath the building?

Another fake profile opened specifically to bash Yorubas, spread false narratives and ferment trouble …lol

More that 80% of Yorubaland unions are still Yoruba to Yoruba…. You mentioned all the celebrities with some form of mixed heritage like 4 or so of them… but what about the 1 zillion that are 100% Omoluabi?

Better go get a job to do you this man.

Abohboy:


I was looking for documents written by African people before European Contact or at least before the 1800s not European notes on Ile Ife i've already read those severally.

I was the one you quoted, and what I said was that both oral literature of we the people involved as well as the earliest written records from the European explorers point towards ife. I didn't say Africans recorded their history in print or writing. And TAAO's reply gave a very good example of such written sources with an additional layer of orally documented reportage.
Don't conflate the points.

Ancient Yoruba renditions of the notorious solomon's knot on old Benin ancestral altar..... smh

Abohboy:


The fact that you think that the Benin Bronzes were made in the 1800s shows your stupidity date of discovery is not the same as date of creation.

And on top of that stupidity you go onto say that there are only 16 pieces of Yoruba bronzes not Ife bronzes but yoruba bronzes which is a blatant lie even if we only concentrate on Ife there are at least more then 30 Ife Bronzes

It is even funny how benin people have such an obsession with brass casted work when in Ife, there were various media of artistic expression ranging from Terracotta/Ceramics to Metallic to Glass all extremely old- infact much older than the Benin works.
Like someone already earlier mentioned here, most Benin people of this present generation are not critical thinkers and are mostly all crass/shabby revisionists that can't even do the job right.

^^ Was just about to reply him , then I saw your reply.
Good one.

Ife civilization is waay older than anything that has ever come out of or connected to Benin in its current or any of its earlier forms.

As a matter of fact- the civilization of Benin traces directly back to Ife- which was the oldest nexus of civilization in all of tropical west and central Africa. Examples of these flows are in religion and spirituality, linguistics, myths and legends of creation, arts and artefacts, archaeology and the royalty… Including oral and the earliest written/recorded historical records.

Ekiti

…

gregyboy:
He was not appointed by the oba of benin, he is illegitimate, and thus is reign would be short-lived....

You can't cheat traditions and expect the gods to favour you... The ifa that choose you to be king is a foreign entity in edo monarchy... A king is born and not ordained

Nonsense

It seems Yoruba descendants are quite numerous in this country sha.... The culture is even attracting more natives and expanding it seems.

Sierra Leone should make Yoruba a National or official Language already.
