This PSquare and their family are simply useless people. They completely disappointed so many. This madness they are all doing is probably first of it's kind. I've never heard of it before.
itsme01: Edo State/Benin is a tiny kingdom, Yoruba have many kingdoms, Edo and Benin are less than 5 million (including your sisters in Italy), Yoruba are over 41 million spreading across two geopolitical zone, 2 countries and two continent
Please don't insult us by comparing us to Benin, because its insulting
And after all your garbage, your land is filled with yahoo boys whom you've now given crowns and made Kings. When you have real Kings, we would look your way.
Ishaq Akintola is an agent of confusion. Always trying to set the country country ablaze in the altar of religion. The world is moving on and all people like Ishaq Akintola knows to do is stoke religious controversy all the time.
First of all, this thread was opened by a fool for the exclusive pleasure of idiots. These are people with no sense of history who are basically crude manufacturers of history. One of them made this observation
macof: Well if I asked you too where Odùduwà came from, I have a feeling you would give a wrong answer too, despite being Yoruba yourself. They know yorubas in the majority don't know where Odùduwà is from and use this to their own benefit
To which one of the ignorant fools had this moronic response
lawani: We know Oduduwa described himself as a son or descendant of Nimrod and that is enough
...and then this completely unfortunate pig who is totally unconcerned about unraveling his chequered history but strangely has an inexplicable interest in the story of others. That's classical Yoruba hypocrisy in action being demonstrated by a yorubastard!
googi: Regardless of where Oduduwa came from: Oke Ora, Egypt or Ham. The centuries between Ife and Benin is too far for Ekalederah to make sense.
Obalufon: No point in talking, reiterating on known obvious fact ..live and die in your believe is your right ,,but the truth and fact will always be told
That you know this and still choose to engage in your long walk of foolery is a testament to the peculiarity of your delusion. Effectively, you are only able to influence and change only your opinions.
Obalufon: you guys delusional ..post any of your art work that is 12century most of your artifact were made after the Portuguese contact .......you are justifying your claim with ife chief stature carved out of stone ..post one of your artifact that was carved out of stone .,..is a known fact ife bronze art predate your Benin art ...and the terracotta are even much older ...
So even after all these days, you still haven't recovered from your hallucinations? Your burden must be a particularly heavy one.
Ashiru97: Mr English lecturer , am not here to have a war of word with you, but let me explain this to you, i choose to type the way i want so far my message is understandable. And for you to type all these trash, that shows your brain has being reek by inferiority Complex, that is why your people believe until they get to abroad they can never succeed, and that is why you always end up as slave and prostitute in libya. I think you need to see physiatrics to check your medulla oblongata you this fool, people like you can only belong to a curse and impoverished tribe, you this nonentity and a twonk and lest i forget your tribe is a minority that nobody it exist.
You are simply a pig headed, delusional baboon. Agbero wey dey repair generator under bridge. You have no pedigree and you are just a persona non grata. A dimwitted tribal mo®on.
Bounce off a$shole, you've contributed absolutely nothing here and that's the mark of a loser. Fvcking scumbag.
Ashiru97: It seems you are crazy, english is not my mother tongue and once again you are from irrelevant tribe.
You are a daft and shafty headed ignoramus. That you can even come online and shamelessly rationalize your mediocrity in the use of English(Nigeria's lingua franca) means you are indeed a dunce of irredeemable stature. Clearly explains why such an ignorant Jibe dropped from your stinking guts. You are one of the foul bastardz who bring disgrace to your tribe daily.
Ashiru97: Abeg my omoluwabi people stop arguing with people from irrelevant tribe
Here is another piece of shitt produced in Yoruba country. His poor use of syntax clearly tells that he is a non achiever and his greatest achievement in life is being an impoverished Yoruba fool.
davidnazee: Thank you bro for a very enlightening piece. I have asked them same question before when they said Aworis invited Benin. Why would the Aworis bypass all the Yorubas kingdoms and come to Benin? Even if it is true that Aworis came to Benin for help then doesn’t that proves Benin was a mightier, more powerful kingdom than all the Yorubas kingdoms and the Aworis must have seen Benin conquer and ruling over Yoruba lands hence it came to Benin for help.
The problem with the Yorubas is that no matter how much they lie and twist the truth their stories will always work against them and show that Benin was more powerful than Yoruba and ruled over the Yorubas.
They always work with reverse logic. Its practically their stock in trade.
Moneywomen17: says the person who says an interview from one ajayi bembe which was just oral with no source is a more peer reviewed source than one written hundreds of years ago with great detail. If u are given a research and ur teacher ask u osaz use a peer reviewed source regarding the demographics history of Lagos u will present ajayi interview instead of this historical document below hmm. Is that what u will do.
Get the hell off my lane and stop replying to my comments. You are deluded and I said I don't want to engage you any further. Keep up with your delusion and illusions. You certainly enjoy mental relief from that.
But moneywomen17 pls i need a picture or any prove showing oba of benin shrine at ife where the oba of benin buried thier heads in ife ....it is a well renowed statement in the nation with the help of fone lets realy prove it truthfulness ....if you can justify it.with a tangible prove not just a written prove but a picture showing it even probably an head on an oba if necessarily... I would join the yorubas to attack the edos....
Don't waste your time with this people. They are jokers and manufacturers of history. This banter can continue forever, they'll keep being comical. Every damn thing they call history are simply comedy of errors.
Moneywomen17: like I said my point prove all controversial the one u posted and the one I posted each contradict each view cuz they are hungry boys taking one side. Price Adebiyi is a bonafide son of Lagos a prince who said awori owns Lagos not bini, not Yoruba. The awori are Yoruba that’s a fact perphaps he means the particular sub tribe of Yoruba awori not other Yoruba either way doesn’t matter another real lagosian clearly state Benin Doesn’t own the land even oba akiolu says so too. But do u know who are not hungry boys like the people u listed up there and I listed is the British with historical account of the moment long before any of this modern pseudo historians are born and they documented who owns Lagos island and it’s none other than the Yoruba end of discussion if u like bring another hungry boy I go bring my own hungry boys at the end of the day the historical document written not Mumbo jumbo state who clearly own the land. Thank god British wrote things down
Highlighted in bold is what convinced me you are lost. It would only amount to a waste of time engaging you any further. Layi Ajayi-Obembe is still alive for you to consult. You like many other yorubas(excluding the Awori) are simply atohunrinwa as far as the Lagos question is concerned.
Moneywomen17: see ur life so when the British came to Lagos everybody during the time said it was Yoruba land not edo. When white land somewhere they communicate with the lander both the leader and the citizen and document everything and all what they documented about their interactions only points to yoruba. The politics of today of which even ibo are claiming Lagos despite them not knowing what or where Lagos was before the British and bitter angry people giving different false account in interview with no source but just their own stupid opinions holds no water. If the words of the British or the Europeans who travelled and documented things hold no water then we might as well discard every thing that they have said and start listening to modern day pseudo historians who are already claiming their people are from the Middle East and claiming Hebrew and Jew. There is no reason to lie about who ur people are hundreds or two hundreds years ago to the foreigner British in the 19c but there is definitely reason to distort history now in the 21st century simple as that. In the case the only genuine historical document written by British regarding their colony which was their first colony is the right account any other is just trash and fraud simple as that. And during the time of the British it was not a contentious topic it’s only contentious right now due to recent distortion from some camp the British remains a good authority regarding a colony which was theirs from 1862 to 1960 almost 100 years. U don’t spend close to 100 years in a place without knowing the root of the place beyond the words of the lander.
Dudue, you are confused and irredeemably lost. You contradict yourself effortlessly. You are here writing down jargons and posting crap, in another breath, you claim you would keep bringing 'hungry boys' to back up your baseless claims. These same hungry boys are the ones feeding the white man with opinions riddled with subjectivity.
Anyway, you are only 17, ask your elders. I won't talk to you henceforth!
Moneywomen17: like I said my point prove all controversial the one u posted and the one I posted each contradict each view cuz they are hungry boys taking one side. Price Adebiyi is a bonafide son of Lagos a prince who said awori owns Lagos not bini, not Yoruba. The awori are Yoruba that’s a fact perphaps he means the particular sub tribe of Yoruba awori not other Yoruba either way doesn’t matter another real lagosian clearly state Benin Doesn’t own the land even oba akiolu says so too. But do u know who are not hungry boys like the people u listed up there and I listed is the British with historical account of the moment long before any of this modern pseudo historians are born and they documented who owns Lagos island and it’s none other than the Yoruba end of discussion if u like bring another hungry boy I go bring my own hungry boys at the end of the day the historical document written not Mumbo jumbo state who clearly own the land. Thank god British wrote things down
Now you are coming to the table. The point is; the whites are also subjective because they asked the opinions of these people you call 'hungry boys' before forming Thiers. The only advantage they had is that they were able to read and write before people on this clime, but that doesn't mean what they write can be taken as authority. When a white man writes about what happened in Europe, I wouldn't doubt that, but when a white man is coming to tell stories in Africa, he is mostly advancing the opinions of subjectivity especially in contentious topics such as this.
Moneywomen17: shut up if u want to see another controversial account here read the interview like I keep telling u an interview of prince from Lagos ruling family even akiolu said he never claimed Benin own Lagos. Like I keep telling u and it’s being said by prince Adebiyi all the false claim are by hungry people and just politics. The true historical account is in what the British document a non bias Europeans not what people started making up in their backyard after some drink of ogogoro.
Stop being a dishonest fool. First of all, the so called prince Adebiyi is a contender for the seat of the Oba. He is part of those who has a court case with the monarch. But while you want to quote Adebiyi denying Benin ownership of Lagos, the man also denounces the yorubas as strangers too.
Moneywomen17: no not real lagosian but from a osu ibo whose from the east of the Niger telling super story. U are real desperate to find prove for ur lies davidnaze smh why not accept the truth and get some ice cream to console u lol.
Loser!!! This is what happens when you get to the end of your rope, you suddenly begin to use derogatory language on the writer while being unable to counter the veracity of his findings. Real loser indeed!
Moneywomen17: dumbass Lagos is a state created from Lagos island to merge with places in the western region in 1967. In the modern Lagos state like u say in ikorodu epe it’s plain ijebu who are the people who are first settler and owner of the land there is no awori there same with badagry ogu . Lagos island where awori is are the first settler 100% no edo co-owned it with them.
Again your foolishness. Ask anyone familiar with the customs of Ikorodu, they'll tell you that till today, the kingmakers in Ikorodu are an elite group who can still trace their origin to Benin. You distorters are only wasting your time.
Moneywomen17: shut up there now he resorts to recent interview given after he realizes his foolishness regarding the LASG document he was holding on too. This is another interview granted by two indigene of the same soil that approve that awori was owner of the land not Benin. Ajayi Bembe na hungry man simple. I will keep posting British account that experience things first hand without any politics or bias and explain who they met and owns Lagos island which is none other than Yoruba. Edo and ibo boys can kill them selves if it pain them that much
This small boy is a dickwad! You went to bring up an interview by that same useless and hopelessly compromised historian called Akintoye who we had destroyed in some pages back?! Hahahahaha... LoL Then you went to bring someone who is president of a pirate group called Eko foundation. Ajayi-Obembe is a household name in Lagos. Read the interview and hear the man destroy you lilly livered chickens with hard incontrovertible facts. Ajayi Obembe was president of Lagos descendants Association - a more recognized group. Even the Oba of Lagos had alluded to this in time past. The previous Oba of Lagos too, Oyekan had also said something to that effect. So what hocus pocus are you spewing?
davidnazee: guy this screenshot you did says Awori settlement was earlier than that of Benin settlement.. Awori settlements was the island of Iddo, Benin settlement was Lagos Island.. In the present day Lagos state, the first settlers were Aworis and Edos amd the Yorubas are migrants.. I know you are hurt by the truth but deal with it..
That 17 year old boy knows nothing. First of all, he should tell us his state of origin so that we could properly place him. I bet he is from one remote interior village, yet claiming Lagos to be his father's property.
The link below is to an interview granted by a son of the soil in Lagos; a royalty with blue blood who is giving the true account of things as it was. He is Layi Ajayi-Obembe. Let all these bastardz tell us their own ancestry and stop twisting other peoples own. Storyless people http://punchng.com/bini-not-yoruba-are-original-owners-of-lagos-ajayi-bembe/
[quote authorMoneywomen17 post=68738736]can’t u read the quick notice involved Yoruba cuz apparently the ijaw s were being marganilised by the Hausa and the Yoruba due to the fact Hausa and Yoruba apparently own 85% of the oil block in the region and if u have been to the same south south from top position to even the cleaner position of the oil companies are dominated by the Yoruba. The quick notice was not well received by the Niger delta that was why it was withdrawn quickly end of story. Meanwhile am still waiting for u to bring where Yoruba involve south south when arguing with Ibo they always say ibo should stop attaching by force to south whenever they say ss/se end of discussion. What exactly are Yoruba ungrateful to the Niger delta for that u keep saying. Meanwhile the ijaw leader already apologized and say the militant were just misguided youth who are regretful of their action but if u wanna hang on to it to feel better I can’t blame u cuz u definitely need it[/quote]First of all, it's not quick notice but quit notice. Again, your dishonesty is what is now making you want to make it an extraction of only Ijaw. The quit notice was expressive of the minds of most Niger deltans. The list of those who signed it clearly reveals this and should serve as a microcosm of that. If you like, deny all you want, it doesn't change the fact and reality on ground. Just continue buying enemies for yourselves OK.
Moneywomen17: e pain u well it seems like u can not even read what the Lagos website statement says, it says that according to several controversial account which means it’s not definite awori were the indigenous settlers of Lagos island but that Benin came to subjugate it is false and that’s the controversial account Lagos government were talking about. It says other Yoruba sub tribe like ilaje migrated to Lagos not that the whole Yoruba migrated cuz awori were already there I wonder how u think u can just lie when the document u posted is there for everyone to see. Ekiti migrated to Ibadan doesn’t mean Yoruba are migrant in Ibadan. Awori owns Lagos till tomorrow and the British weren’t bias against anybody they say the truth like they saw it, The Whole of Lagos colony which is Lagos land was founded by Yoruba. The truth can not be hidden the British were honest on who they met on ground and who controlled the location and there was no single mention of edo there cuz they are not dumb Yoruba is the language, culture and everything there. Again read the document again this time get some ice cream like a bitch to console u of ur tears. Again am telling u of wat happen in case of war the ibo will go back to south east like 1967 and the ibo and Hausa again will go back home to the north and east like in 1993 cuz they know reality is different from nairaland. Edo and ibo ranting about Lagos on nairaland stops on nairaland when push come to shove like June 12 they go pick race comot to their side. Meanwhile u should be more worried about Edo State in case of a war u guys are minority and ur state will likely be merged among the big 3 I trust the ibos they are already saying south south and south east is biafra so u are probably joining them the real war booty are likely minority tribe of which edo is one lol. Read the authentic British document once more and digest it if British like Yoruba so much them suppose say na we own all Nigeria lol liar like u are must make something up.
You are a complete dunce. Reading and understanding are your biggest problems. The screenshot from the LASG official website is very concise; Short, clear and simple. How you weren't able to comprehend that is terrible.
Go back and read it again. It need no interpretation, its written in the simplest form of English language such that even a primary 2 pupil wouldn't have any difficulty understanding it.
No wonder your age got stuck at 17. While your numerical age increases with the turn of the calendar, you wisdom age is stuck there
davidnazee: If you like interpret and twist the details in the document anyhow you like.. Lagos state govt acknowledges Awori and Edos as the first settlers in Lagos and Yorubas as Migrants.. It could have simply said Yorubas are the first settlers but if it put 'controversial accounts as you said" on its website for the whole world to see then that accounts is true. Edo founded and developed Lagos.
[quote author=davidnazee post=68738489]Guy, stop wasting your time with that clown. What do you do with a man who can't read and understand? He foolishly denies everything even though he is facing a different direction. That fool would still deny his paternity, it's only but a matter of time.
Moneywomen17: shut up there fool when it comes to tribalism in this country who’s hand is clean. Go to the Facebook u go to any chance ibo gets he calls Hausa aboki gworo alamijiri chewer same with Yoruba who is called ofe mannu and Yoruba do same in return. Everybody hate each other in this country. In delta state alone the three tribe of ijaw, uhrobo and itsekiri were literally killing each other like foul. Look here this was the reason a quick notice was issued by some Militants groups from the Niger delta and not the whole south south and it had nothing to do with Yoruba but arewa ultimatum to ibo the militant only took their chance to issue their ultimatum so as to benefit something and the quick notice was withdrawn very quick and told not to be taken seriously so the reason why u still lie here I do not understand. The oil companies in the the same south south are dominated by Yorubas it will not be so if they have no friend in the south or do u think the fact u lie like there is nothing called internet or like we don’t even travel ourself is lost on anyone. And another lie whenever yoruba argue with ibo on nairaland which can be verify by anyone Yoruba always tell the ibo to remove the south south whenever they try to bring them into it, the phrase attach by force came due to the fact the ibo always wants to use south south to deflect which Yoruba will not have again another lie from lieosaz. Third everybody knows the north are counting sheep and goat in the north both Yoruba and ibo and so many southerners agree on that but apparently except edo now according to lieosaz. Lastly the only thing u said that makes sense in all ur comment is that skin color doesn’t make us one, friendship is earned with years of alliance and trust not just cuz ooh we are both black. http://punchng.com/ndelta-agitators-give-northerners-yoruba-quit-notice/ http://dailypost.ng/2017/09/02/niger-delta-militants-withdraw-quit-notice-yorubas-northerners/
I keep telling you that you are a complete dick head. The quit notice given to the yorubas and northerners(strange bedfellows) by the militants in the Niger delta was clearly the pulse of the people. Though it was called off, but it is a pointer of what would possibly obtain in the future. The issuance of that quit notice was born out of the irritation the ND people had with the disrespect from the ungrateful yorubas. If you had a brain bigger than that of a frog, you should easily have questioned why the yoruba should be given a quit notice by thier fellow southerners in a dispute involving igbos and Hausa/Fulani? That is a clear expression of how many in the south have come to see you. They regard you people as a helpless appendage of the area dominion and as such should be out cast with them. The withdrawal of that quit notice was only political and that was actually part of what brought sanity to those northern youths.The quit notice to the yorubas was largely supported by a vast majority in the Niger Delta. Ask from anyone within the region and they'll tell you. You now believing the trick words of the man who wrote the withdrawal of notice who was simply being politically correct while taking a pacifists posture shows that you are simply too dull for your own good. The same man in the same statement drummed support for PANDEF and its leadership, a group he had dismissed in the past.
The Igbos have clearly won the hearts of many within the Niger Delta. Even though in the advent of a break up of Nigeria, the Niger Delta would certainly not form a country with the igbos, they however feel more sympathetic to the igbos than pair up with yorubas.
It is your very character of dubiousness that has led you into countering a known fact online that the yorubas are in the foolish habit of insulting the entire south south whenever they have quarrels with the Igbos.
Like I said earlier, the quit notice issued to yorubas by the militants was well received to a certain degree. It wasn't just an Ijaw affair, but many within the region saw reason for its issuance. Even the make-up of those who issued it had a good spread across the region. You guys remain the only black sheep in the south.
Yes Moorish is right. We have to see the bigger picture. The world doesn’t begin and end in Nigeria or Africa. We have to be united because we have large groups of nations outside of Africa that don’t wish us well.
The whites the Chinese are here colonizing us. All the global powerhouses are big nations with large populations. Like USA, China, Russia etc.
We have to take a strong stand against tribalism and embrace each other and lift each other up. We have great potential.
Indonesia, Ireland, Germany, Italy were all countries that were made up of different tribes and ethnic groups before they united and became one.
Let’s unite and embrace one another If you go on YouTube and some forums and social media sites you’ll see how oyinbo people trash and abuse Africans/Nigerians. They say all kinds of evil stuff.
We need to wake up
Well, for now, the white man isn't our problem. The tribalism in this country is principally propagated and championed by the yorubas and the Hausa Fulani. I can even tell you that those Hausa Fulani are more liberal and broad minded than yorubas sometimes. Let's not blame the white man for everything. I am a social media enthusiast and I brood across lots of platforms. These yoruba people are in the habit of throwing darts at other ethnic groups without provocation. Go to Facebook and even here on NL and see them display their crude and primitive behavior. They'll insult the entire south south whenever they are having clashes with the igbos, forgetting or rather being shamelessly ignorant of the fact that the south south has several ethnic groups housed within that region.They are practically worse than the white man many Nigerians and Africans usually try to demonize. I used to have a favourable opinion about them until social media came and exposed their clannishness and pettiness for all to see. They have no difficulty in trying to disrespect other ethnic groups. This is the very behavythat has earned them many enemies in this country. This is the same behavior that drove Awolowo to claim that the northerners usually count goats and sheep's as humans during censuses. It was their constant hurling of insults and derogatory language against the entire people of the south south that led to them being issued quit notice to get the hell out of the entire south south when the north issued same to the Igbos. They also have people in those areas, but they sit down in their huts and foolishly be insulting other people unprovoked. This is the same reason why no one takes the Yoruba man as a friend in the south.
Before we heap all the blame on the white man, let's first of all tell ourselves the truth. I see a white man as a better friend and ally than to claim brotherhood with another senseless African who tells lies and behaves badly simply because we share the same skin color. There are several kind and humane whites white there are many hopelessly evil blacks.
Obalufon: you people are claiming Lagos we will see ..We have the Aworis in Lagos island and the mainland children of olofin from ile-ife ijebus water side in epe ,aja and ikorodu from and the gberefus egun people in badary ...we are waiting for you people ..
Can you be honourable for once, I mean just once. When you want to share videos, share videos of the Alaafin and not this king with very many controversies hovering around his head.
Loooool you have strong imaginations there my friend. I won’t fault you, it is poor knowledge of History you have displayed as usual. You have spoken through the lenses of politics, an abstract stuff that does not necessarily indicate a person or a people’s relations.
The stupid disunity talk people bandy around about Yoruba is a vestige of Ekitiparapo internecine war in Yorubaland. Prior to this war, all regions of Yoruba sustained the ‘Ebi’ system and operated within its ambits.
The Egba & Ijebu rivalry is a healthy one that began with minor conquests pre-colonial era. Today, they get along well & have conflicts too like siblings of the same parents do. Nothing special. If you had spoken about Egba & Oyo hatred, you may have scored some points.
Ijebu & Ijesa do not share a proximity and barely come in contact if not for the much more globalised state of things. Ijebu & Ijesa have always shared a good relationship all through the war & peacetime period in Yorubaland. You’ll barely hear either one stereotyping the other like Ibadan/Oyo elements stereotype the Ijebu because they blockaded them from coastal trades in the 18th/19th century.
Take out modern politics, you’ll hardly find any crack in Yorubaland NOT even within the bounds of religious differences.
Focus on your Edo division and stop imagining nonsense about Yoruba folks.
Cheers.
You almost sounded sensible before the usual yoruba dubiousness and distortional traits reared its head. Call it politics or comedy, that's your cup of tea. What it is is what it is. It doesn't change the fact that you people are a divided and fragmented lot.
Meanwhile, school yourself properly on what politics truly is. Politics is ubiquitous and reflective in all aspects of social interaction. The point is; your people are divided.
You should save your advice for your fellow yoruba people who actually started this thread with the intention of pillaging Edo history and distorting facts. Yoruba people have an unhealthy obsession with Edo people - something we find very irritating and uninteresting. On the other hand, the Edos totally do not care about what the yorubas do with and amongst themselves. The entire NL is filled with yoruba people engaging in online wars with everybody. They would quarrel with the Igbo, quarrel with the Edos, claim lordship over the Itsekiri, Urhobo etc. This shameless behavior is why we are right here and it's buying you people more enemies than you can imagine. Many of the others usually ignore your usual tirades, but some times, it has to be addressed.
prolog2: dude, I am getting tired of your divisiveness. The ennemi is the yoruba, not fellow Edo.
Yes, but that doesn't mean the yoruba love themselves either. In fact, the yorubas probably have the greatest divisions amongst themselves than most of the other ethnic groups in this country.
The Egbas and the Ijebus rivals. Both of then usually emasculate the Yewa/Awori people. Within Ibadan, various quarters are after each other throats.
Moneywomen17: that was a pic of an art not the original. Look below of the ooni in Brazil u see the statue of oduduwa head u see the crown on the ooni head look further see how they are bowing to the great oonirisa arole oduduwa. So what was the pic u posted has to do with anything.
You are a dumb retarded maggot. How can foreigners who you claim worship your slave boy ooni present him with the most distinguishing Edo/Bini symbol and not the clearly different Ife ast symbol and yet he accepted it?
They were only telling him that while he is welcome, he should send greetings to his father in Benin. Sons receive awards on behalf of their fathers.
Loool damn. A new thread needs to be started with this very epic discovery.
Picture 1: ooni receiving Benin mask(on behalf of his father the Oba of Benin)
Picture 2: Edo mask and symbol of FESTAC 77. Compare with picture 1
Picture 3: Ife mask which is very different from Edo mask.
Question: why didn't they present ooni with Ife mask? And what message were they actually passing across to him? Of he and his subjects couldn't deduce that they were being reminded of Benin superiority over them, they they are all irreversibly daft.
