KUBA1987:
The ooni of ife didn't meet the europeans until the 19th century. And some people want to claim he used to be important.
You guys are players. The real kings of Africa all met the europeans around the 15th century or before, because the europeans were in desperate need of strong trading partners. The insignificance of the ooni of ife is such that either his throne is very new either he never was relevent and thus nobody went after him.

OrisaEsu:



The problem is that a whole lot of you don’t read. You rely heavily on mouth-to-ear narratives without conducting any independent study of your own. This is why one king can hoodwink everyone of you with Izoduwa fables.

Y0ruba:


Lewwwwwl!

I know you’ve been dying for attention.

I won’t give a lot of it to you, Ile Ibinu boy.

The documentation of your history is exagerrated. Your history proper began getting documented in the 15th century by the Portuguese and guess what, your king was telling them how my king, Oghene Nuhe was greater than him .

How empty your coronation ceremony is shows the Bini throne is lightweight with not much history behind it. King wey dey climd palm tree during coronation, is that one a king abi glorified palm wine tapper?

The highlight of your fame which is kingship & art were given to you by Yoruba. Thus, you can not narrate your history without talking about Yoruba first.

We own you people.

Chaii the tin pain this "Yariiba" boy ooi

How can yariiba own thier father?

If not for Benin prince oduduwa who wandered into your desert and taught you all Benin culture which you copy cats are not even getting right till date hence the buying of political thrones like the useless one in Ife

Hahahaha
I know the truth is bitter to swallow but you will swallow it!!

Y0ruba:
To the Bini folks on this thread.

Your land’s name was changed from Igodomigodo to Ile-Ibinu.

One of your kings, I think Ewuare, changed the name to Ubini.

It is the same way you people take our names and locations and give it names of your own instead of calling it what we call it.

Such as:

What the foook is Uhe when it is Ife and can be easily pronounced?

What the fooook is Oghene nu’he? Is Ooni Ife too hard to prounounce?

What the feeeeeek is Omononyan? Is Oranmiyan that much of a speech problem?

What the fliink is Eweka? Is Owomika that difficult to pronounce?

The list goes on.

We gave you the name Ile-Ibinu and we can render it however the fook we want.

By the way, Owomika was regarded as Olubini and this is why those of us from Ife refer to Benin as Bini.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Brothers agreed but paying tribute to any Of the tribes that now make up the Yoruba's is a big fat lie.

We all know it's the Crowthers and Johnson's that gave the Yoruba's an identity.

Y0ruba:



I don’t know who you are & what authority you possess to speak on another man’s ancestry.

The screenshot attached to the post shows the man’s ancestry, if this was wrong the Bini king at that time who followed the work would have vetoed it.

His mother’s name was Okunzuwa and she was of Ezomo’s descent.

Whatever opinion you have is your problem. The man aldready stated the ancestry of his father and mother.

Cheers.

Both of his parents were Edo. His mother, Okunzuwa was the granddaughter of Ogie Ezomo 1. Who was commander of Benins Army so Egharevba knew what he was talking about.

Y0ruba:
Egharevba’s A short History of Benin is the only thorough account of Bini owing to the access of the informant’s used in the work to the true nature and oral tradition of the ealier centuries. Egharevba collected his data from the generation that was very much connected to the primordial times and their informations were very much straight to the point because they had no agenda influenced by the politics and economics brought about Nigerian state and as well as the boundary problems attendant to it.

Most Bini works that followed this, especially the one by their king, is nothing but a paper driven by irredentism and chauvinism that began with the nationalistic urge to create Mid-Western region out of Western region when a harmless speech was given at a congress where Ooni and some Yoruba obas were recognized and the Oba Bini wasn’t.

A whole lot of Bini people have latched on to this nationalistic feeling driven by chauvinism and when Egharevba’s work is referenced they brush it to the side claiming Egharevba’s mother was Yoruba, hence he was not only influenced to be subjective by that, it also influenced the light under which he painted the Yoruba. An attempt to throw the man’s seminal work into dustbin.

Interestingly, Egharevba was at no time connected with Yoruba by blood. He had migrant relatives who dotted few places in Yoruba land & other area - this is normal for everyone, he was at no time Yoruba.

See the screen shot attached below & please consider saving it for future use in the case they come with the ‘His mother was Yoruba’ narratives.

European sources are largely not "eye witness" accounts. The concept of historical document belongs to the topic of Historical Source which can be either primary or secondary category. Africa lacks written records therefore the concept of historical documents are majorly considered secondary source

direct me to any reputable historian who has ever debunked oral traditions as a valid source in African history, it is in fact impossible,
Types of Historical sources include ; texts, objects, abstracts and oral
oral and abstract sources will always be included as a source especially in africa

And just because something is written doesn't make it historically accurate, hence the need for Source scrutiny

He apologized through the governor of Edo state.

Like the amicable settlement between Ile-Ife and Modakeke, right?
Human relationship is not easy. Let them vent as long as they don't get violent.

Christistruth00:


Oranmiyan was a Yoruba man,and because he set up the monarchy of Benin ,Benin became his tributary ,that is the way the Yorubas do it even the Ga of Accra paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo in the seventeenth century.Benin means Edo. Dahomey is mentioned separately.
As the Alaafin of Oyo Benin paid tribute to Oranmiyan, respectfully the Oba of Benin will not dare deny it.

biafranation:
You notice how Igbos or IPOB are not interfering in whatever they are doing with Gani Adams, had this been Nnamdi Kanu, Afonjas will invade that thread. Wicked things!

iamrealdeji:
the head of a Yoruba king must not be seen like this. a Yoruba king must wear either crown or cap,he should rather wear skull cap(Kufi) instead of leaving his makes head like that. you can never see any Yoruba king's head except it he had not become king then,its a taboo in Yorubaland for a king's head to be seen

vonxe:

Who is stopping you? Go and take over Ekiti, Ondo and Lagos States! Whereas, you own no single plot in Ondo that shares boundary with you but Yorubas owns lots of miles in your 7 LGA! Ekiti has nothing to do with Bini than in the past when some princes of Ife (in whom my Great-grandfather was included) were looking for land to settle, move to Bini area and later returned westward and settled among the Ulesun people of Ekiti. Ekitis fought Bini expansionists to a standstill just the way they later fought Ibadan. Ekiti, the smallest Yoruba state, with 16 LGAs, is more than double of your small Bini of 7 LGAs with less than 40% Bini population in 2 Ovia LGAs.

You don't deserve reply at all because your behaviour online is the worst I have seen, even than that of @historyworld031! This gives you up as a kid with little intelligent contribution but insults; and I will not accord you with one reply again. Bye, Bini revisionist, you can assert your energy on Ijaws that are coming for your little igodomigodo.

Look at the useless reply you typed and look at the post you responded to , now you will see you are an illiterate

Lool wtf is Bini?... Is dat a specie of ewedu in your fathers backyard?

We talking empires here.... [b]Keyword: cut across ethnic divides

lx3as:


You simply know nothing!
You binis are very funny and hard learners.

Oba is a Yoruba word which was adopted by Bini for Eweka since he was the son of Oba of Ife ( Omo Oba Oranmiyan), the Ooni. So Bini that used to have Ogisos now gave Obatala, Obalufon, Oba Eledumare - Oba to ba Lori oungbogbo to Yorubas?

You're just a revisionist like your fellow binis with little brain for research but insults and arriving at kangaroo submissions.

Safe yourself the stress and ask a Bini that understands Yoruba language the meaning of Oba in Yoruba. You don't simply deserve reply any more since you people believe 7 local government areas overshadow and wiser than over 177 local government areas. I only pity you when Nigeria will divide and Igbo and Ijaw will subjugate Bini once more; we can only guarantee save passage for Omo Oba ni Edo.
