KingOvoramwen1:
Better go and find where you are from you are no Edo man, you fvvcking impostor..... Your Heritage is Ewedu !

But according to your history and ours we are from benin. Chief Bembe and Oba Akiolu confirmed it.

KingOvoramwen1:
Ignore that guy, he is and ewedu eating Yoruba boy, I have demolished him on numerous threads before now..... You see how he is shamelessly trying to claim Edo heritage ..... This Yoruba's are really really uncultured

Yes I am yoruba. I never said I was not. I only claimed the heritage is Benin because that is the truth.

Yes I love ewedu

historyworld030:
You need to understand the word "History".
You guys often confuse it with the word "story".
What exactky do you mean by " the europeans arrive" ?
For your info, history is based on evidence, written documents (written hundreds of years ago, that is the kicker), not your usual story story.

Hahaha very ironic that this is coming from an Edo man. Your history was written by the last oba who even schooled in ibadan

historyworld030:
So your answer to my question is an other question ?
Can't you just answer a simple question ?
I am asking because it seems you didn't see the irony when you claimed that the Benin Kingdom didn't extend as far as ...wait for it..."Benin Republic". You can say such a thing and not feel dumb ? SMH

Ok since you can answer my question then it is clear you are really confuse and cannot understand the irony of your question. The people with you people is that you believe your bullshit too much and has removed all logical thinking .

First of all Benin kingdom not an empire did not conquer any thing to the west. What we had in a Lagos then were villages of "primitive" settlements. The ijebus back then did not even consider us as a treat to their thread ( well that is another topic) the Benins were going to Benin republic for trade but arrived in present day Lagos island and were loved by the people (on second visitation) not that you had any influence in benin republic. Back then present day Lagos,badagry to port novo ajasan etc where all considered together as slave coast based on the heavy slave trade going on in that axis and given the fact that the monarchy was of Benin heritage (Which I am part of) they called it bright if Benin and hence the name Benin republic.

Benin had no influence, name , culture and monarchy beyond Lagos island.

I don't want to go to deep history with you of anago etc

historyworld030:
Go and tell that to the british museum and the european libraries who host historical documents which actually prove each step of Benin History.
I posted pre-colonial maps on this thread earlier.
I know you guys would like the Benin Kingdom to not have had the glorious past it had, but Benin did have its glorious past either you like it or not.

I hope you realise that there was history before the Europeans arrived?

I also read when you typed about any war the "yorubas" fought with the British.

I will not go far, just read about Oba Kosoko. I also want to mention he was of Benin heritage

historyworld030:
first of all the guy whom you are quoting is ijaw, not Edo.
Also you are quite strange in the sense that you claim to be of "Benin heritage" and yet you insult the Edos, all on the same page.


Just one question: where did benin republic get its name from ?

Before I answer your question, where did cote d'Ivoire or ivory coast, gold coast or ghana, slave coast or nigeria get there name from

Please point to me 2-3 evidence of Benin presence and influence in benin republic

So many lies and exaggeration with Benin history

I am of Benin heritage but lying you got to even Benin republic not to talk of Togo is just crazy

liohan:
The problem with Nigerians especially the educated ones is that history seems to be a non-existent event.
First, that folklore is a made up one. No Benin man believes that shit. Benin likely migrated from the Noks, many of their art and metal works show that.
Then the other issue here, which is whether Ijaw residence have the right to constitute a ruler over their domain.
Legitimately, there is nothing wrong with that. Gele-Gele might not be Benin land. Because at the height of its power Benin Kingdom extend to present day Togo. Gele-Gele, The region around Edo, Delta and Kogi States were vassal states to Benin with many of them claiming origin from Benin.
Whether the Ijaws in Gele-Gele migrated to the region or they are aborigines. Living there for centuries have made them owners of the land. Note that it is this same issue that is the bone of contention between Israel and Palestine, the former argues that they lived in the land before the Arabs and the Turks expelled them from the land.
Besides, where would people who have lived in an area for centuries mass-evacuate to?
Is it that they should not have a leader over themselves because of a traditional folk tale that is centuries old? Bleep that! Benin should also tell Lagos not to have an Oba because Lagos was once a colony.
After all this we should know that except Benin becomes a country, all lands belongs to Nigeria. Lands that have no direct ownership except on the mouths of folk tale tellers, should not be an avenue for a bigger group to lord over a smaller one.

benin extended to Togo many are mad but few are roaming the street.




TOGO !!!! ARE YOU BENIN PEOPLE SMOKING ?

Adagba1:
He is not ibo,ibo are peace loving people,he is ipob

true

utenwuson:
the level of your stupidity is totally unacceptable....... it will lead you to suicide Kaaba boy

He is not from kabba. He is ibo

Probz:
Hold up. Don’t you have to claim descent from Ile-Ife and Oduduwa to be considered truly Yoruba?

Nope

Tell me this is not yorubiod

bright007:
All these bloody afonja are here displaying their frustration .

Because they have no respect for constituted authority and elders, they are busy insulting a king higher in power and authority than their own.

show us the insult ? no one has insulted the oba

fatiaforreal:
For me , this is a welcome development. We're no more in 1500, The Oba must leave his palace if there's need to do so.
Kabiyesi o! Oba atopegheeeeee!!!!

What is kabiyesi in edo language no be etoge porporo again

so oba can leave his palace . too many lies with this edo history

I am yoruba but I don't support this. We love igbos

nobaga:
While I share Ajayi-Bebe feelings about the intentional exclusion of Lagosians from the scheme put together by Tinubu from Oragbiji in Osun State, Ajayi affiliation conceding Lagos Island to Benin is misplaced.

Bini itself is Yoruba regardless of the politics of the day. The ligua franca in Bini palace until recently was Yoruba, their gods are Yoruba and the names of the royals until recently are Yoruba.

Oduduwa came before Christ and existed not only in Yoruba history buy in that of their cousins worldwide including Ijaw before Ikalehan appearance in the 14th century.

Ajayi-Bembe cannot reconcile that by claiming Bini and Awori are the same. That is pure self serving. He can get away with that by claiming all Yoruba are cousins.

Aromire own Isale Eko a descendant of Ogunfimonire, an Awori from Ife own Lagos from Isheri to Isale Eko.

That is it. I am from isale eko and I am awori and we are yorubas. All these are you political talks. I wonder why all these Tinubu boys are toying with our identity

onward4life:
EDO is EDO

No Merging

Only Connection is Oshomole through Modern Day Politics. If not...

#SakponbaRoad

Shut the Bleep then and stop this awori bini connection. You can bring up Lagos is bini and yet no connection with yorubas. What is wrong with this new generation of ignorant boys

Funny you

You have duke

Tinubu
Atiku
Peter obi
Jonathan
Even Fayose

StanUc:
I appreciate your immense kindness

If you can't see my PM, send me a mail via stanleyuc.opara@gmail.com I'll reply you

Thanks

Ok got it

I wonder why you people are creating threads on Lagos. I am an awori man and we are yorubas. FULL STOP.

Even the oba or bembe cannot deny that. All 5hat is happening is political. !!!!!.

StanUc:
It's certainly not an insult but a clear show of kindness. I'm not certain I even merit this level of kindness. But all the same you are welcome.

Ok once they pay I will comment on this very thread

Btw I can't check my pm.

StanUc:
University of Ibadan

Ok they start paying, if you would mind, I don't mind giving you some of my money. Hope you would n0t consider it as an insult

Sorry I have typing from my phone and this tend to auto-correct.
