Olu317: is it because your name carries Axxemen ? A bloody clown,even the monicker you use belonged to Yoruba. After all yoruba created that group . Have you no knowledge of who owns confraternity that begun in Nigeria's university,especially UI and Uniben in the 1960s ? You are pained and you lost control like an abnormal child. Obviously, someone Iike you need not be on NL because you are not fit to chat with my cotemporary nor me. I can't just imaging you being on this thread ? Anyway NL is for all even if such is still a todler like you. You have no knowledge of what you embark on because you have no regard for people who is far older than you. Typical nonsense
So you have finally stooped so low to the point of quickly claiming ownership of an evil invention as cultism that has wrecked immeasurable havoc on the educational system of Nigeria? There's nothing desperation wouldn't lead a man to do. Please, nobody is dragging that with you. You should also claim Satan as well.
BabaRamota1980: Dude...we appreciate your effort but please no one ffoces you to stay in here and endure the disturbance.
Edo is a perpetual rebel. This thread will cure their witchcraft. We are not backing off....you vacate if you find this offensive.
Yorubas are reserved and very slow to go to war but when we do its total demolition to the enemy. We have demolished the Ekaladheran hoax. Edo fables about its greatness will equally be demolished. ....on this thread.
The "Goodboys" are not here yet. If they jump on this thread Edo will be sorry. Shymexx, Mayor of Lagos, Imperial Yoruba, dk1...and so on.
BabaRamota aka babasuwe is far dumber than I initially thought him to be. Clearly the heat is getting to you. Please, do everything to contact those names you mentioned. We are the new sheriffs in town. If you want peace, you'll have it. But if you want trouble, I am ready to drag it with you and your ilks even if it rages on endlessly. Remember, this is still cease fire mode, amnesty period would soon end.
BabaRamota1980: Owodo is a dimwit, there is no other way to qualify a man who believes killing his only son and heir to throne will open wombs so queens can begin getting pregnant and birthing children.
Ekaladheran, will you do that?
This is definitely the funniest comment ever made on this thread. You be original Babasuwe...Lol.
Well thank you for at least accepting that there was an Ogiso Owodo, then also accepting that he had a son by the name Ekaladerhan. At least we've beaten serious sense into your head. You are still going to confess on this thread that Oduduwa was Ekaladerhan - you'll surely get there.
I am a little bit more benevolent at the moment and that's only because of Moorish. I usually respect people when they want to be reasonable. But enjoy your amnesty while it lasts, because if your continue being recalcitrant, I'll bring out the big gun.
BabaRamota1980: You have not heard one word of denigration from my post. In fact when they throw a dart I dodge it and i respond back with facts. Example.....Ogiso Owodo for a fact is a dimwit.
There are many ways to win an argument. Use of saucy and denigrating words is not one of them.
Lol.... Here is a man who lives in an alternate reality. So in your dictionary, dimwit is a word used in adulation abi?
You should cease writing in English and completely write whatever you want to in Yoruba.
Moorish: I do want the trajectory of this thread to change for the better
Are we going to argue back and forth forever?
I am sure the Edo peeps here have some respect toward Yoruba Heritage
and I am sure the Yorubas same
While I cannot disagree with what you've said here, it's imperative to understand that this thread was originally started to deride the Edos.
The yorubas were obviously harboring some sinister motives when they immediatelye after this post was made began peddling outright falsehood about the purpose of the Oba's visit to the Ooni. Both parties spoke and acknowledged that the visit was purely on a courtesy basis meant to entrench greater love and cooperation between the two groups, but to the surprise of many, the Yoruba were everywhere including Herr claiming the Oba went to complete his coronation-thats an insult and such insult cannot be left to just cool off at least for posterity's sake. Meanwhile it was repeatedly pointed out to the yorubas that the Oba had a tradition of visiting fellow monarchs of his stature after ascending the throne and in this case, Oba Ewuare actually began by visiting the president, then the Sultan, some other smaller monarchs and then the ooni. But strangely, only the visit to the ooni elicited unnnecessary commentary. This is purely mischief. Edos ordinarily don't tell Yoruba story or that of other groups, we believe everyone should tell their story however they please, but when these incursions by yorubas into Edo history is becoming a hobby for them, then, the records must be set straight, no matter what and at any cost.
Moneywomen17: Steveosaz right now u know cuz I have this thing called a life but when I have time I will be back to make u cry more.
Hehehe, running away with your tail in between your legs. Typical yo-ROBBER cowardice. When you come back, you must tell us why you chose to recognize a slave boy(ooni) among royals.
Moneywomen17: e pain am kingsango is American and u thought he was Yoruba that’s why u opened ur big mouth to say trash and he kingsango knows little he didn’t even know sango bear Jakuta during his life time and how did u edo boy thinks he knows more than me what did he say that was right and I was wrong point it out. Ur dynasty in Benin is being ruled by the descendants of oranmiyan a Yoruba man. The ooni na ur king father and ur king crown na ife own am if that hurt u take the advice akiolu have to ibo and jump enter lagoon. Ur Ogiamien u know the landlord of ur Oba Palace has told u several time his tenant is a Yoruba man from ife who is ruling u listen to him.
Lol... See this frog head! KingSango knows nothing, while you ain't any better yourself. No Edo person even listens to the Ogiamiens, they are jokers that can only find relevance among ogogoro drinking Yoruba's. Meanwhile, Yoruba is a yesterday creation. In those era under debate,there was no such thing as Yoruba. In Benin, ooni is known as a slaveboy of Oduduwa who himself was a son of the Ogiso. So no respect for Ooni. We even have higher regard for the Alaafin.
WONDER This is a piece written by another Yoruba chap elsewhere. The guy totally exposes the fraud called ooni who all these Yoruba mental Lilliputians here have been fighting tooth and nail defending. I keep saying it, Yoruba has no reckonable history. What they call history is just cut and join comedy. This is the nonsense they now want to import into the Edo story. But sorry, No road!
adecharly: All human beings are equal before God; the Almighty. He is our Sustainer. The Creator of the worlds. However, God in His infinite wisdom has created man and placed some above others. It is a providential design to achieve universal order, harmony and peace. He has placed the kings over their subjects to ensure coordination. I love history, and I loathe history being distorted. I am neither an ethnic chauvinist nor jingoist. But I have special affinity for history. It is worrisome when people concoct genres of myth in the face of impeccable facts. I wish to delve a bit into in the history of Obaship in Yorubaland ,with a special focus on His Imperial Majesty, The Alaafin of Oyo and His Royal Highness, The Ooni of Ile-Ife.
History has been so kind and friendly to the Alaafin that he does not need to get into any battle for supremacy with any Oba, either in Yorubaland or anywhere in the universe. No other Oba had combined humility with royalty to meet the demands of modernity like the incumbent Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Kabiyesi Iku Baba Yeye,Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III .
According to impregnable sources of Yoruba history, Oduduwa is the ancestor of the Yorubas. Oduduwa gave birth to a son, Okanbi. Okanbi gave birth to seven male children (Oranmiyan, Olowu, Alaketu, Onisabe, Orangun, Olupopo, Oba Benin). Nowhere in history is Ooni mentioned as one of the Yoruba Royal Families. The Ooni is no blood relation of the seven sons of Okanbi. Historically, Ooni has no traditional or political authority in the Yoruba hierarchy. Riches and political fame of the Ooni from 1954_when Ooni Adesoji Aderemi was made the Governor of Western Region by the Awolowo Administration cannot undo the pristine history or invalidate the truth about the Yoruba race.
History has acquainted us with copious facts that Ooni is known to have been appointed by the Alaafin as the custodian and keeper of the rituals and oratory of the gods in Ile-Ife. The stool of Ooni was never known to be big on hereditary kingship. Oonis have been the descendants of Adimu the Olorisa, instead of being the direct descendants of Oduduwa. The Alaafins of Oyo have been the paramount kings and rulers of the Yorubas. Alaafin, in recognition of his leadership,had intervened in numerous boundary disputes involving the territories of the Ooni and Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland
Some years back, when Oba of Benin visited Ile-Ife, the comments made by Ooni Sijuade (I am happy to welcome back my son and brother to the land of our ancestor, Oduduwa) was quickly refuted by the Oba , through his response:"who is the son of who?"
Moreover, The British as it was in their tradition recognized lineage as meaning supremacy and legitimacy, preferring to sign the Treaty of Cessation with the Alaafin as the Head of the Yoruba Nation.
Also, on August 8th,1960, when Sir Adesoji Aderemi held sway as the Ooni of Ife, Alaafin Bello Gbadegesin Ladigbolu II was appointed the Chairman of the Council of Obas for two years, Oba Adesoji never batted an eyelid. In 1962, when Ooni had ceased to be Governor, he reverted to his traditional stool and was attending the meetings of Obas which had The Alaafin as the Chairman. When the first term of Alaafin Gbadegesin expired, he was reappointed for another two-year term. The Alaafin was reappointed for the third time in 1965 until the military struck.
In 1966, Lt Colonel Adeyinka Adebayo made the Ooni Chairman and the Alaafin his Deputy. Only the Alaafin,among other Obas, protested the awkward appointment and sought redress, as Alaafin does not play a second fiddle to any Oba in Yorubaland. In 1976, the military government had to reinstate the Alaafin as the Chairman of the Council.
It is also a distortion to address the Ooni as "His Imperial Majesty". This is another gaffe! Only the Alaafin is addressed as His/Your Imperial Majesty. You cannot assume the title when you have no empire you rule over. Alaafin ruled over a vast empire (From Ilorin to Dahomey and to some parts of Ghana; Ashanti) while Ooni did not have that royal privilege.The Ooni is better addressed as His/Your Royal Highness. This is history,my people!
The preeminence and supremacy of the Alaafin is obvious from the above assertions and as deeply espoused in many Yoruba books of history. We should not distort the history by pitching the Alaafin against the Ooni. Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi made an unequivocal statement on his coronation day that he was not into any supremacy contest with the Alaafin. Therefore, Alaafin remains the undisputed leader of all Yoruba monarch.
Moneywomen17: is kingsango Yoruba so how does his opinion hold weight. Ur dumbass probably didn’t know he was not Yoruba but an African American who is a follower of sango. I respect for holding on to an African tradition especially the great Yoruba own but he talks a lot of things he doesn’t know.
Now, let me answer you. You've been fouling this place with your putrid stupidity all the while without contributing anything meaningful but rather holding forte for an ooni who is a slave of Oduduwa the Edo boy.
You say KingSango is an American, yet he seems to know far more than you who is in one hut in the bush of ile ife cooking history. Tell your ooni to go to the palace of the Alaafin for proper education on his history. When he is through, he should also see the Oba of Lagos to collect certificate, then quickly report to the palace at Benin for blessings. Until then, he would continue bowing down before politicians.
Look at Buhari and the Queen of England, that's how you bow to greet royalty, not royalty bowing down to greet politicians as seen in Buhari and Ooni. That's because even Buhari (Fulani man) has been told and is now aware that ooni has no royal roots. He is a slave and an impostor. No respect for such people.
They are finally denying ekaladheran... Same ekaladheran that you sons of a dimwit Ogiso Owodo claimed is the founder of Ife is no longer of relevance in death.
Ekaladheran is beginning to taste sour in your mouth.
Yorubas have slapped him out of your tongue, you have given up on your hero....you now run away from ekaladheran...ehhn
Edo chiefs must hear this....
Ekaladerhan's place in Edo history is very clear, it's lost souls like yourselves that are developing high BP over a non issue. I repeat, if you know Oduduwa's grave site, then, you've found Ekaladerhan's.
But you must tell us where ooni is from. This is a classical case of house boy becoming king and that's why slavery and slavishness is a major defining character of the Yoruba's because you people are ruled by slaves. Ooni was never a son of Oduduwa like Alaafin, but was only his slave who took up title upon the death of that poor old man who himself is also a stranger in ife.
BabaRamota1980: In case you are wondering why i double posted, its deliberate, to mock you........i wanted to make sure I "accompanied" the first post with a duplicate.
Not a good enough effort. You should have accompanied your off road post with several more duplicates. Just one is a lazy mans effort.
rhektor: Are you sure you've been following this thread from the begining or you just decided to write something for the sake of making comments? One of you admitted that the omoN'oba accompanied but now you are here to twist that again?
Smh
Understanding is clearly your problem. If the Oba of Benin was a guest of the ooni and the ooni says they should jointly visit certain places, what's do you call that in English? Especially a place within the domain of the ooni? The question is, what is the symbolism of that dirty little box and also produce pictures of the visit.
Akenzua accompanied Erediauwa accompanied Ewuare II accompanied.
Arent you ashamed?
I told you guys we will get you to a point where you will deny your Ekaladheran when we mention him in your presence.
So each of your Obas, in succession accompanied to go see the heads of their ancestors and not one of them dared ask about the resting place of Ekaladheran?
They know there is nothing named Ekaladheran in Yorubaland. Why waste time asking for something that does not exist?
They know the truth of Orun Oba Ado....so they accompanied, like you said, and paid homage to the heads of their Yoruba fathers. The ekaladheran is non entity. No one know of him.
No shrine, no oriki, no legend, no totem, no folklore, no history.....he is a HOAX!
•Where is the evidence Oba Akenzua ever visited that little dirty box you call Orun Oba ado?
•Where also is your evidence Oba Erediauwa visited the same dirty box?
•Even Oba Ewuare II, there's nothing convincing he did. But let's even say he did, I maintain he only ACCOMPANIED your stranger ooni on the ooni's excursion since he was his guest. But then, also provide your clear pictorial of that visit and let's also see the rights performed there. I await you.
Obalufon: you people are myopic as your thought..i sent a picture of saraki paying obeisance to oni risa..the picture you base your argument or claim on was taken in motion oni was only praying for him or exchanging pleasantry not bowing ..our oni is very humble man
Your Ooni wasn't being humble, he is very well aware that he is first of all a stranger occupying a seat that doesn't belong to him. This has always been the argument of the Alaafin of Oyo.
Yoruba people shaaa... Lies are your companions. You are here calling it picture in motion, meanwhile, another Yoruba guy earlier said the ooni was suiting down and was about standing up. Hehehe, that's how you twisters have always been twisting everything.
Anyway, here is your ooni again bowing to Fulani Buhari. Then see the respect Osinbajo is giving to Oba of Benin.
Alaafin of Oyo is the true Yoruba monarch, ooni is a stranger. Tell him to reconnect with his origins.
prolog2: When talking to yoruba, don't be too gullible, there is no proof that Omo n'Oba n'Edo ever visited any orun oba ado. No video, no picture. Just some other yoruba rumours.
Nothing like gullibility. I am only putting their food back into their mouth. That if at all, such visit ever took place, what is its symbolism? If a man comes to your house and you decide to take him on a tour, its just an empty tour with no significance.
This is the picture I was referring to. Though, nothing in it indicates anything like Orun Oba Ado.
The dynasties created by Oduduwa children visit his grave when they are in Ife. They pay visit to Ooni and they visit and pray at Oduduwa shrine, the Founder's cenotaph.
Edo says Ekaladheran is the founder of your dynasty and he is buried in Ife.
So then why did Akenzua visited Orun Oba Ado but not Ekaladheran's when he was in Ife?
Why did Erediauwa visited Orun Oba Ado but not Ekaladheran's when he was in Ife?
Why did Ewuare II visited Orun Oba Ado but not Ekaladheran's when he was in Ife?
The reason is because Orun Oba Ado is the only recognised Founder's shrine you have.
In fact Ooni had mentioned that he would take Ewuare II to see the shrine of Oranmiyan his ancestor but because of time he could not do it.
There is no constraint in schedule that will keep Ooni from taking Ewuare II to see Oranmiyan.
So why did your Oba not go see Oranmiyan? Why did Obas before him not go see Oranmiyan?
At least you all agree that Oranmiyan was the father of all Omo N'Obas. So why are they paying homage to the shrine of Eweka and his descendants but not to Eweka father or Oranmiyan father?
Please answer this pertinent question.
I like this dude, he keeps entangling himself. You have already answered your questions. While other Yoruba kings go to Ife to pray at Oduduwa's tomb(wondering how true this is), you agree Bini kings refused doing same. The answer is simple; In Benin tradition, kings don't pay homage to their sons, its a taboo. Because Oduduwa is a son of Ogiso Owodo, he cannot receive adulation, for a son he is.
Meanwhile, there has never been any cultural symbolism of an Oba of Benin visiting your little unkempt box called Orun Oba Ado. It was the Ooni who decided to show him the little box, the Oba of Benin only accompanied the ooni for that excursion. And that's why Oba of Benin didn't perform any ritual there because the place is an Ife creation and carries no symbolism.
KingSango: You have no rank over me or over Edo or Benin. None of You have any rank over each other. The Alaafin and the Oba of Benin belong both to the Kings council, there is no rivalry with them. They work to better Nigeria. So how subjects are rivalrying? You are a subject not a king.
Cults were behind the slave trade just like they are now behind evil human trafficking.
Afrikans all over the world love to form evil cults mixing sex magick and sodomy all in one. This is the curse not tribalism. Isn't Bobrisky Yoruba? Is he a protected member of Ogboni Confraternity? That's devil worshipping Freemasonry where they practice sodomy rituals. This isn't original Ogboni for you have strayed from the lessons of your good king Sango who hates witches.
Evil cults are behind tribal wars too and this comes directly from the story of Ayelala. Y'all need to cleanse the land of devil cults no matter the cost or suffer the wrath of God for your transgressions. 90 percent of your resources are wasted on criminal mafia spending on greed and sin. We have the same curse in America where Black people are members of devil cults. It's the same phenomenon wherever Blacks are they are forming evil gangs based in satanic worship to exploit their own people. Way at the top of all these evil cults are Europeans running it all. Ignorant cult members haven't figured out this is how the European is ruling over all Afrikans. It's a curse that you bring upon the whole by satanic practices. God does not play dice with the universe. Everything has a cause and effect.
Thank the Egun for Ifa because I would have never known without Ifa that Blacks are involved in Satanic worship like Europeans and Jews. Raping children and creatimg homosexual populations. Then lying like they don't know where homosexuality comes from. Freasomry and Christianity are satanic faiths that come from Egypt.
Again there are 3 Sangos. The Sango I come with is the Irunmole. Who I can command to flood whole cities and cause natural disasters. I choose out of love to warn you only. You have no idea the power of Sango. Mixing herbs to cause a little lightning is nothing. As the avatar I can cause a whole nation to suffer endless severe weather. Consult Ifa before you approach this stranger.
Sango ti roogun Oya Se.
Ase
Love Sango
Highlighted in bold is the only thing I agree with.
See Yoruba versus Yoruba doing a dirty fight... Meanwhile it appears one of them is fraudulently manufacturing history again.
Read this...
KingSango: No one knows exactly the life of Sango even in Nigeria there's conflicting stories.
Knowing a spirit is about having a relationship with the spirit. And how can I not have a relationship with the Baba of twins and I'm a twin?
There are 3 Sangos.
The Alaafin of Oyo
Sango Kuso
And the Irunmole Sango, the God of fire, fire is what causing lightning and thunder.
Ase
Love Sango
Then this...
Moneywomen17: stop saying what u don’t know this guy there is one sango and who after his death was deify and accepted as part of the Yoruba pantheon just like so many people Like ogun, osun and others. He was the king of oyo and was deify in his death to be a god simple.
These are people who have been making failed attempts at rewriting Edo history, yet they don't even know their. You don't even know the number of Sango's that there were... No wonder, you kept losing wars and had many of your lands fall under Edo control. Every single day, someone would just wake up and add a new dimension to Yoruba history- complicating an already chequered history.
My advice to you people; set up a council, separate the chaff from the corn. Remove all these nonsensical inventions, streamline your perspectives. If you can do this, them we might just take you a little bit more serious. Tomorrow, someone like Kingsango would publish a book filled with comedy of errors and Yoruba charlatans of that era would be quoting it recklessly.
BabaRamota1980: Stop wanking yourself over article that talks about Benin and Yoruba.
Give us input about your own history and legend in Ekaladheran.
Thats the purpose of this thread to solve the Ekaladheran mystery. You were doing good in the first 25pages but shake yourself loose and make Edo proud. Talk about Ekaladheran and Ife.
Steveosaz says he is buried in Ife. Is this true?
BabaRamota,
It's just simple linear logic OK. The Bini's don't care about where Ekaladerhan was buried because his legend had it that he never returned to Bini. So wherever he was finally buried is of no consequence. But, if you Yoruba's now want to make an issue out of it, then the onus is on you to tell us where Oduduwa was buried and that would certainly be Ekaladerhan's burial spot being that Oduduwa/Izoduwa/Ekaladerhan is the same person.
So you can contact Obalufon to provide you that information since he claims to be of the lineage of the banished Ekaladerhan/Oduduwa.
Thats why we are proud to say your Oba comes from a long lineage of superior race in Ife.
Edo has never had a king. Even your Ogisos were supervisors sent from Ife to oversee your land. When they messed up your chiefs returned to Ife to beg for a new class of rulers. Ewuare II is the descendant of proud race. You had Chiefdoms in the period of Ogiso and Kingdoms in the period of Omo N'Oba.
We gave you civilization and pride. Without Yoruba you are nothing!
We are going to separate your land and put you under Olu of Warri next. If he doesnt want to deal with your rebellion we qill bring Pere of Gelegele to rule over your land. Im sure the Ijaws would love to be your next dynasty of rulers.
Your name should be BabaRUMOR, the conjurer of history. I have been saying it and I repeat it again, Yoruba is not an honourable tribe. Its just a conglomeration of cowards, loud talkers and a slavish people. Everyone in yorubaland is a quack historian and that has been evidently proved here.
Now get this, Yoruba are undesirable elements. The south east hates you, the entire tribes in the south south think you are trivial and a treacherous people that should never be taken serious. In the north, the Hausa Fulani see you as tissue paper they use in wiping their asses. So please, never write Yoruba and pride and honor in the same sentence-thats grossly incongruous.
The Itsekiri are a loyal tribe to the Edos any day, anytime. An Itsekiri man sees himself more at home with a Bini man that he possibly could with a yo-ROBBER crook. Even though of late, Yoruba have been making series of failed attempts to annex Itsekiri to themselves claiming that Itsekiri language is quite similar to Ijebu. However, the Itsekiri see themselves as an arm of the Edo people. The Urhobo are another distant relative of the Edo. So it's usually nonsensical when stupid Yoruba's say Edo is just one state. Meanwhile, Edo has existed for centuries if not millenniums, where as Yoruba is just a yesterday creation. As at the time the Edos were interacting with the Portuguese, there was no such thing as Yoruba.
This dubiousness of Yoruba people in creating history is the reason why the Ijaw, Urhobo and Isoko people of Delta state hate the Yoruba's and would never forgive the Awolowo family for the treachery of Awolowo who in yo-ROBBER standard fashion of manufacturing history, decided just as he had done in several other Yoruba areas to tinker with the traditional arrangements in what is now known as delta state. When he was to recognise a former Olu of Warri, rather than appropriately recognize the man as Olu of Itsekiri, he went on to confer on him the controversial Olu of warri title - something that would later lead to loss of several lives being that the Itsekiri don't own Warri. Funny enough, clownish yo-ROBBERs are here talking about Ijaw and Urhobo. Una no get shame at all.
As at the time of the Ogiso dynasty, there was nothing like Ooni. Ooni was only born at the expiration of the Ogiso dynasty and that's why till eternity, Oduduwa would continue to remain a stranger in Ile Ife.
Whatever Yoruba claims Oduduwa knew, he brought the knowledge from Benin.
Obalufon: i'm glad to know ogedengbe conquered you people ..he would cut of the head of oba but it would a taboo to cut the head of oduduwa lineage
I like you dude, you are really comedic. Now you've gone into the realm of wishes. But the saying goes that; If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Sorry for Ogedengbe and even bigger sorry for you. But be consoled with the ever haunting knowledge that Oba of Benin had the Deji of Akure beheaded.
Obalufon: where is Ekaladerhan buried i need a DNA TEST on him ..please ..you people are off shoot of ile-ife.. but you were far away from the source that is why you were in turmoil before you requested for king from ile-ife your source.. you people speak language from the older lexicon of the source ..have you heard of oro ife? language barrier is what is causing the issue ...gberufu of badagry , egun even dahomey claim ife as their ancestral lineage up to togo, why are you people distancing yourself from the source of creation ife ooye olori aiye gboogbo ibi ti ojumo ti mo ..200yrs ago we were seen as one .. talk about benin conquering down south of the niger ,,but your histroy will not becompleted without mentioning ekiti ondo Lagos why
Shebi you say you are a product of Oduduwa's loins? If you can point to Oduduwa's tomb(it doesn't matter even if it was yesterday you people created one since historical manufacturing is your favorite past time) then, you have also found Ekaladerhan's tomb.
Olu317: So you think to be humble mean Ooni bows ? I know your problem. If one is exhausted of information, such turns to comical means to stray away from truth. . This is exactly the scenario with Edos. Do you know your Oba Ovaranwien begged the British Army when they invaded your tiny Kingdom? Google is your friend, or you can check such information on bbc . Did you not know Ovaranwien tried to bribe the British Army,when he came out of hiding in 1897 ? Disgraceful to my ancestry because as a king,you must not be captured alive in Yoruba folklore,simply shameful because Iku ya ju ésín lo. Did you not know that Ozolua was the one through which the distortion of who to become king changed ? This is because once they refused to consult IFA ,doom set in. Okpame( Ozolua) was the third son of his father and he changed the system of Obaship in Bini. Where on earth did you get the first son as the person to be the next king if not distortion by Uzamas in connivance with Ozolua ? Edos and distortion are like 5 and 6 .Did you not know the reason for small population of Edo was because ,the use of human sacrifice was extremely high ? Yet attah Igala waged war on Edos, no wonder, Auchi is Igala/Nupe/Kwarafas/Hausa enclave. You are so ignorant that you failed to realised Ijebu fought against the same British and the British Army lost some men, yet the Awujale and other Obas didn't ended up in exile. You Edos are the ones trying to distort history but the current Oba Ewuare II has clarified it stylishly that Oranmiyan was a Yoruba man with O ba title. In simple narrative, Yoruba have conquered the real traditional heads that governed Edo or Benin natives who were referred to as “Ogiso”, the title,which said to be derived from the description Ogie n ‘oriso (meaning King in Heaven) which evolved from the wisdom and knowledge of managing the local affairs of the people and forever ,O ba will reign till the end of time. This is the reason You practically have no knowledge of Edo and Bini history like your most celebrated Jacob Egharevba ,even Osarhieme Benson Osadolor that carved the real Bini Kingom as within Edo. If it is a lie Google his work or get a hardcopy and post . All of you ,who are Ogie n oriso descendants are classical clowns
You clearly run a circus show. Lol. After all your fabrications, you failed to tell us how Oba Dosumu or Docemo cowardly signed off Lagos to the Brits for two cents. Your cowardly exploits are second to none.
Obalufon: you better go find your stray prince ekaldheran before dog eat his testicles. without his balls you go lose your lineage .. how many fulani you see for yoruba land but they are busy killing your people for edo without any resistance na mouth you get
Obalufon, Ekaladerhan is your ancestor since you want us to believe that you are a direct descendant of Oduduwa this is because Oduduwa/Izoduwa/Ekaladerhan is all the same person under a different name at different times. So take note.
After all, you Yoruba's do say; omo ale ton fowo osin juwe ile baba e. Stop behaving like a bastard. Its not good for you.
Obalufon: what is wrong about the picture saraki approached the oba on seat and gave decent greeting oni welcome him with open heart as a son . he stood there receiving the blessing of his father . ..Saraki is the senate president of Nigeria..you people are so fool of yourself .. if saraki visited him palace and his no more senate president of Nigeria he will prostrate to honor his ancestor
This is why and how you people keep twisting and maligning history. Even with a picture, you still paint a different scenario. This should tell the state of mind of you folks.
A king when seated and wants to acknowledge greetings from his subject would pat that subject on the back, but in this case, your ooni didn't only bow, he received the handshake with both hands while Saraki offered only one. This is even a kings that usually has a staff in one hand.
No matter where you meet the Queen of England, she would never greet you in such a way. The Queen is highly respected in and outside the Buckingham palace. And same for the Oba of Benin. That's because royalty is royalty any time, any day.
