Please who are ilaji. Look I am not here to fight you: all I said was for you to educate yourself. I have bini blood and relations of Benin heritage. I am a yoruba-Edo- itsekiri lover. We are one people

SicilianMafia:
What is the Yoruba there?

Please read the story again. If i don't deny my Benin genealogy why should you deny others

I thought there was nothing yoruba in present day Edo. So many history twisting...... na wa

AdaFonju:
It will be in your best interest to avoid the Ijaws, ask yoyr fathers to tell you the stories of warri crises when itsekiri men started writing Igbo mans house on their properties. You are all Yoruba people and you will bw sent back to your kith and kin in the west, you claim to be from niger delta but speak Yoruba language who are deceiving

I find this statement very stupid to say the least. Is Niger delta homogenous. Is it not just a region ? Why can't yorubas be found there ? And yes we have opc in delta state. Kill yourself

Aboki made a statement; ijaws started threatening the itsekiris. How stupid are these people really.

Some people will say they introduced ogboni olorogun etc to yorubas and how their civilization spans 20 million years

9jakool:
It's fine as long as they identify as Yoruba. Yoruba is still Yoruba regardless of where they originate from whether it's Ile-Ife or not.

You still they answer am, lol They have their heads really up their asses. Remember they claim the oba does not leave his palace unlike yoruba kings, as God will have it,,,,,........................ we known the rest

AxxeMan:
WtF is Bini? Hahaha it is [b]Benin! And it is of Portuguese origin and our history is well documented unlike some people who cliam they came from a piece of plot in ife with no historical evidence to back it up apart from stories from the moonlight concocted at Ibadan printing press

And you think Yoruba is a Yoruba word ?

Hahahaha You people have no ethnic history or relevance until awolowo came into politics![/b]

Good !!!!!! At least we are heading some where. So before the portugese came, what were benins describing themselves as.

for example

Before Yoruba they call themselves is omo oluabi or omo oduduwa or olukunmi

Before Italy was formed they called themselves romans

etc

Ok Ekiti is bini, Ondo is bini, Lagos is bini. LOOOOOOOOOOOL

WE HAVE A LAGOS AND EKITI PERSON on this thread and I think we have done a good job at rebutting that.

Also I would like to state categorically that the day day Bini stop claiming ile ife origin was the day they lost Itsekiris, Aworis, the whole of ekiti and the whole of Ondo, Akoko Ondo.

In fact I met a young man from Okada with his name called Nosa and he categorically said they speak Yoruba from the part of town he is from. Meanwhile he was not the first I met with which claims. I have even met some Ikwerri people claiming ile ife origin (This I find strange).

Now the question to bini people

1. How come you so called empire has been getting smaller and smaller since you started claiming every group originated from Bini

2. The major archaeological discoveries you claim came from bini has since been discarded as lies

3. A recent discovery of glasswares dating over a thousand or two ago was found in ile ife was it bini that introduced that as well ?

4. Why didnt bini's continue with the Ogiso, why did they change it to Oba which is a yoruba word ?

5. Why until recent did the bini's start claiming yoruba words as theirs ?

6. What is the meaning of Iyoba mask ? Who is iyoba and meaning in Bini

7. Explain how a small civilization (Bini) has so much influence on larger groups such as Yoruba given that they are close proximity.

8. How come binis claim they conquered Benin republic but they have no influence or folk tale on them

9. Even the lagos you claimed you conquered, was the oba there ? I am from the Eletu family in Lagos Island which is a bini name and of benin origin, there is no folktale of such in the family genealogy so I would like to know where they got this information from.

10. How can you conquer to Even Ghana and Ghanaian know nothing about bini in their folktale but the Indigenes on Accra who are the Ga people where the word Ghana came from said they originated from Ile ife . Hmmmmmmmm

11. Why is it that until the last Oba, your Kings are buried in ile Ife ? What happened ? And those that correlate to the steady decline of the bini influence

12. The Itsekiris for have now started saying they are of Yoruba origin which you claim they are of benin. Hmmmm more declain

13. The Ijaws claim you or yoruba origin and even took part of your ancestral land to place a full king NOT UNDER THE OBA.

14. Up in the north the Ishans have started showing some resentment towards they over bearing influence of the Oba bini. Hmmmmm

I can keep going on and on.

Or is Ajasan a bini word or name now ?

very insecure people indeed. Just like their previous Oba. I am of bini origin in lagos but ......

Let's not fight while buhari and his fellow theives are comfortable. I mean what is wrong with Nigerians

kitaatita:
Forget what you read from South East and South South online urchins, Buhari as a person remains a trusted individual

My man, I am a lagosian and not from any ss or se. Buhari is a failure. Is it not obvious !!!!

During the last administration, we all blamed GEJ for the never ending scarcity and when he tried to resolved the issue by increasing the fuel price aka removal of subsidy we even blamed him more and even worse we protested. We even threaten to remove him and as a Leader he was, HE LISTEN TO HIS SUBJECTS and found a solution.

WHAT WE HAVE NOW

We have a president with an over bloated ego, made himself a petroleum minister and even worse an illiterate with not tertiary training in petroleum economics or even engineering and does not listen to anyone.

Indeed when a God want to punish an evil nation He gives them wicked and senseless rulers.

To those still supporting this government, I would say they are the true enemies of Nigeria !!!! I dare say we are the ones undoing ourselves. Imagine an illiterate on the street convincing an educated person that an illiterate 78 years old man is better than an educated 54 yrs old PhD holder.

Just wow !!!!!! Just look at the state of the Nation. What a country !!!!!

The civil servant is not a serious fellow.

Olu317:
Ignorance is the greatest CERTIFICATE you bought! I won't answer you anymore because I have screenshot what Bénin mean. You people are chronical liars. I can't understand when BINI became the superpower that she was named after Dahomey whom were described based on their interaction with French Colonial expansionist. Ride on.

I have told you that are funny sets of people. I am a bini descendant from Lagos but ....

Good history. When was this written ?

Which empire

I think you are mistaking. Benin is very different from bini

The word bini is from a corrupt word Ubini which mean land of vexation

Benin republic was was formally Republic of Dahomey but after a revolution they renamed it republic of Benin after the bright of benin.

Bright of benin was formally named slave coast which was use by many countries

AHCB:
Wow! So much hate and story telling from nigerians about SARS brutality. I'm not surprise anyway.

you don't understand, these people are robbers in uniform

It is quite shameful

mr1759:
what kind of stupid write up is this. do you even know ijaw? the ijaw in Benin here do not understand the ijaw in bayelsa why speaking yet you call all of them ijaw because they are aquatic in nature but me as Benin man I hear almost every thing Esan man speaks, who are u to say Esan and Benin are different , go and tell ooni of ife that ondo and osun are different depicts they have different languages outside the general yoruba they all agree to speak.
back to your stupid claim there is bini community in Delta is called oza nogogo, also in Lagos though that one is scattered, there is Edo community in ondo etc

the population of benin ppl in Europe alone is 1,200000 (one million two hundred thousand) while bayelsa the home of ijaw the population is not 600,000 ( six hundred thousand ) in Benin the population of ijaw has never produced them a councillor in ovia southwest local government where erosion brought the ijaws to few years back

It is not scattered we know ourselves

Iyabo ojo is from Edo state and not a Yoruba actress.

Ijaws are trouble makers tbh. Gelegele is under oba bini. Fact ijaws just loves grabbing land

jossy404:
Any update regarding LSS induction?

Hopefully before the year runs out

I am not as free as I use to. Anyway believe any lie or your "truth" based on the account of the last Oba.

historyworld030:
It doesn't suffice to claim that there is evidence, you have to show that evidence. Omo yoruba.

Evidence of Benin influence in Lagos or what ?

historyworld030:
shut the fvck up and take a look at the precolonial maps.
You don't know what the truth is, because you were not there six hundred years ago to witness the stories which you are telling.
Historical documents are the only true windows into the past and I have posted some. Look at them and stp peddling stuuupid stories.
You are certainly not Edo, stop impersonating us.

Ok can you map out the part it show all that to be Edo conquered territory.

Again I never said I was Edo. What is wrong with you people. Go back and read my post.

KingOvoramwen1:
This step1 guy and the other one called obalufon/olu327 that guy don change moniker pass mama shukurat pant , I don dey demolish them for culture section norbe today , this guys are clowns and jokers , thier medicine dey my Gucci bag and I dey administer am without mercy they know me well..... Very soon this one will change moniker again once I am done with him

Please don't be foolish.

historyworld030:
Once again confusiing history with story.
Fables and religious tales are not History, they are mere stories.
History is backed by evidence
Evidence in the form of precolonial notes and maps.

Now you are confusing me because the zenith of Benin kingdom was 16th century which was when Oba Ado arrived isale eko. This is not story but there are historic evidence and account to proof it.

historyworld030:
Dude, that is exactly what you have been doing.

Not at all. Very wrong

KingOvoramwen1:
You are just yarning rubbish of no interest to me..... Don't ever in your life claim Edo heritage it isn't for the likes of you, even if you did have a drop of Edo blood which is not likely , it has since been eroded by ewedu, so nice try impostor but its dead on arrival

So Benin lineage and greatness is no longer by blood but by supporting lies. So if I claim that Lagos or Ghana is Benin I will be a proper Benin man.

historyworld030:
I just dont understand these yoruba guys.
They want to reduce Benin relevance while at the same time they want to claim Benin heritage.
They claim you as their brother only in order to reduce your worth.
What kind of person would want to have a brother who thinks insulting you is the best way to claim you as his brother.

No yoruba man will reduce Benin relevance. Your relevance will always speak out. I mean your Oba has left his palace to meet the sultan of sokoto to talk of your relevance in Nigeria
