who is the first Oba of Benin Kingdom?

The first Oba of Benin kingdom wasn't captured by history because nobody around in that era knew how to write. Now you read or heard of that fairytale of oronmiyan and oduduwa, dude it is only a fairytale made after colonisation, it has nothing to do with reality.

BABAawoo47:
oyo empire nko?

Oyo was never an empire, there is no eyewitness evidence to back Yoruba unsubstantiated claims about oyo. To was a small kingdom which the Fulani invaded and partially annexed.

Destroyerofyeeb:
E no go better for una . The hate wey una start Na we go complete am . Mumu people always getting manipulated by ibos. You slowpoke literally worship Yoruba dieties from Ogun to ayelala to olokun . Go fvcking read some history

How about you stop making claims about us for a change, how about you stop harassing us instead of complaining that we are not showing appreciation for your harassment! We are not Yoruba, our monarch is not Yoruba. Now leave us alone !

Destroyerofyeeb:
Now I know why these Benin people hate Yoruba for no reason. Their oba is a Yoruba man of yoruba ancestry

So now you define history as "whatever a pro Yoruba blogger says" and whatever is speculated in a unknown, undated and un referenced paper ? So long it claims Benin is Yoruba.
For your info, the only reason an Edo would not like you guys is because of your unending harassment and your "I know Benin better than Benin people" attitude and your unending attempts at forcing your culture and fairytales upon others, that is also what made the Oba of Benin to lead the Midwest out of the western region. You guys are just crazy.

ivolt:
None of your kings since Eweka I, the son of Oranmiyan ever denied their Ife origin.

The current British monarchy came from "inconsequential" Germans.
The pope with zero army in the year past were installing powerful kings in Europe.

BTW, there are many precolonial maps, it is dumb to ignore others and choose one that
suits your narrative.

Dude, do you realise that you are spewing nonesense?
Oranmiyan is not a person who actually existed, that is just a fairytale! How old are you ?
The thing with Europeans is that they actually have PROOF ! Europeans have eyewitness written documents to claim the links between their monarchies. You have no eyewitness written document ! Just so you know, the tradition of naming our monarchs by putting a number after their name came directly from the British ! There is no Eweka 1 !
Your lack of knowledge is huge!
You are stvpid that you claim a village head gave an emperor his crown !

FreeStuffsNG:
Ooni, speaking in Yoruba, said, “The crown presented today to Oba Sharafadeen Babalola is from the Geisi Ruling House, Ile-Ife. It is the grace I enjoy, being the king. The crown will bring peace, harmony and tranquility to Ijagbo.
Aaşe wa!

Congratulations Kabiyesi, congratulations to the kingdom of Ijagbo. This is how most Yoruba Alaiyeluwa and royalty that was started by an Ile Ife Prince like the Yoruba Oba of Benin royalty in Benin etc, got their crown from Ile Ife.

The way you guys are obsessed with Benin is incredible, what in hell links Benin to this event, yet you had to mention the Oba of Benin whose title your monarchs keep using fraudulently as if they have forgotten their own titles. You clearly lack understanding of history and seem to believe the current political structure in the land mass of Nigeria has always been in place.
Let me open your eyes a little, here is a Precolonial map of Africa, locate Benin on it, and look for Ife on it. That will tell you the difference in importance between Benin empire and Ife village !
Do you know how insulting it is to say that the king of a large sovereign country got his crown from a village head called Oni of Ife ?

Most of you guys don't understand that Benin Kingdom/empire was a country ! An independent country until it lost a war to the UK! What exactly was Ife if not a village !

ariesbull:
Keep asking or do you think Nigeria fought Biafra the way you think ukrianians is fighting Russia


Many European countries led by British fought Biafra

France, Ivory coast, South Africa and some others countries supported Biafran seperatists. Britain supported the Nigerian government. End of story.
You guys love to lie to yourselves.

ariesbull:
They fought Biafra on the premise that they don't want to see another Japan in Africa ...so they fought Biafra the British

How did "they" fight Biafra? What the hell are you talking about ? Biafra had a lifespan of 3 years and you are saying "they" fought Biafra because "they" didn't want a Japan in Africa ? Biafran propaganda is eating your brain, mate.

Ibime:
Be quiet, did you not see the data is from Rosstat

Keep fooling yourself with propaganda. You Putards really believe an average Russian is rich, bunch of jokers

Below is reality in a Russian village


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLrlPs1lLgE

I see you are one of those guys who keep shouting "putard". How much does nafo pay you guys ? Don't you see that the fact you are all repeating that word which doesn't belong to the dictionary shows you guys are part of a cult ? You brought a paper from Moscow times which is an anti-Russia propaganda paper, I informed you about that and you returned insults upon me. Where did I say that the average Russian is rich ? And why should I even care of the wealth of the average Russian ?
Russia is the country with the largest land mass on earth. It takes a train at least one week to go from one end of Russia to the other, I don't think it is possible that every inch of Russia is very developed. But to go and quote propaganda against Russia as if it proves a point is not a smart move. I specifically gave you a village in Russia so that you will see the least developed settlements in Russia and even those are above what your propaganda paper claims is the situation for 20% of Russians.
Look at Russian cities:

People soaking garri talking about poverty in UK and USA

People who shit in the bush have no business raising shoulders

The Moscow time is an anti Russia propaganda.
You are confusing propaganda with knowledge, mate.
Here is a visit to a Russian village.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_1vtzv49B4
I put a village because I want to show the worse in terms of Russian infrastructure, not the best, so that you can see that you are being fed anti-russia propaganda from Moscow times.

Fash20:
I disagree with this though. If a government becomes corrupt and anti people, who should come to the aid of the citizens. In a stable country where the system works, coup cannot happen. Coup only happen in 3rd world country where corruption is rampant.

The issue with coup is that it does not really solve the problem the people face because coup plotters always make the same mistakes made by the government they replace.

Not only that, his definition of moving from the past is: reward the guy who did you harm and punish the guy who tried to stop him from doing you harm.

dermmy:
Yes Russia murdered its people in the past. Joseph Stalin was a monster I hate him for all his deeds against the Russian people but Russia didn't commit massacre in Africa unlike the West did starting from the days of slavery down to the 21st century.

One thing which most people don't realize is that the USSR's paranoia was totally justified, the USA had planned to nuke the USSR but didn't have enough logistics so the USA needed a few years to gather the logistics, during those years, the USSR discovered its own atomic bomb, that is the only thing which aborted USA's plan to nuke the USSR.

USA has been obsessed with destroying the USSR and now the Russian Federation since the ending of WW2. At the ending of WW2 Patton even stated that the USA fought the wrong enemy, that it would have made more sense to fight the USSR instead.


In WW2 german (Nazi) soldiers ran from the red army and straight into the hands of American troops who didn't have to fire a single shot, the Nazis felt at home and safe with the Yankees who acted more like the saviours of the Nazis than their enemy in WW2. (This is a description of a period of time around and before the end of WW2, this doesn't describe the entire period of the war)

WrriterNig:
As if the West will ever move past Nazi tyranny history. Even up until this day. They never forget 9-11.

History books and "polite" societies always say "Nazi" instead of "germany" as if those were two different people. Nazi= Germany from 1933 to 1944.

It seems that president zelenski is hiding in bunkers in Ukraine. Indeed many photos of him with his country's soldiers show them in bunkers.
It is strange that this is what nafo keeps accusing president Putin of doing.
NATO propaganda is just too lazy, it just reverses roles between Russia and Ukraine in many cases.

dermmy:
Russia stood behind Africa in the liberation struggle against colonialism and Western Imperialism. Russia funded, armed and trained the ANC in their struggle against apartheid South African regime while America and its western counterparts gave their full support to the apartheid regime. When Patrice Lumumba was killed Soviet Russia denounced the West and honored him by introducing a postage stamp with Lumumba's picture on it. Go and look into Russia and Africa's relations from the cold War era.

Also the only country in Africa which survived colonisation by the same west (which nafo says is Africa's friend) is Ethiopia and it got help from Russia to do so.

lagosrd:
Show me one country the Russian gift has helped. Self determination without capacity is death. You country will be turned to a battle ground. Those who bombed Hiroshima are still alive . Learn history

So you are advocating for Africa to be enslaved, ok.
This reassures me in my previous assessment that you needed to be ignored.

Karnice600:
Now take up your senseless case again and give me an answer to this question;

Is it colonization that made your country unable to deliver 24 hours uninterrupted power supply and without a rewarding system for medical doctors that are now leaving in droves for greener pastures?

Drink some warm milk and face your mental problems.

lagosrd:
So what does Ethiopia looks today, their capital cannot be compared with Benin city. Even their citizens are on a mass exodus to Israel on a journey they may not return for ever

So your point is that we should give up self determination to the west ?
Otherwise, you mean that freedom for Africans is a bad thing and we need to be subjugated by the west ?
This is a thing with you guys who keep praising the west, you are mental slaves who wish for nothing more than to officially be a slave to the west.

lagosrd:
When sanctions starts flying up and down, I don't want to hear anything. When the same west that has given up on the baits they initially set for you suddenly jack it up your throat, I don't want to hear anything.

African leaders that are lazy and corrupt, they will not do any meaningful development with whatever you given them.

How else on earth do you describe a group or leaders who went begging from a country at war. Despite the war Russia and Ukraine have good power supply to their various citizens except those war thone areas. Africa is still leaving in the dark despite avalanche of resources .

Russia has nothing to give Africa except for rebellious tools that will not do us any good. How many technologies has Russia transferred to any African countries but they are all over with military operations.

Good luck to everyone.

What is the only African country which defeated colonization ?
Answer: Ethiopia.
Who were the colonizers ?
Answer: the west.
Who helped Ethiopia to defeat the western colonizers ?
Answer: Russia.

I rest my case.

Akuruoulo:
U are not a pro Russia , but a braindead putard.

One thing which can be observed in most cults is that they give a name to those who do not belong to their cult. Your cult created the name "putard", and like a good cult member, you use it like a pro. Other names which your cult used in the past were "assadist" and "orcs", and much further in the past, your cult used to say "nigger lover"... You may be surprised but it is the same cult, they let black people in now I guess.
I remain with a free mind. I do not wish to join a cult, much less a white supremacist cult.
I give fair assessments on situations based on my own thinking, which is very sharp.

OKOSISIBF:
bro I'm pro russian too. I'm just stating my fears. Relationships between countries have been known to go sour throughout time

I'm not pro Russia, I'm pro common sense and I locate my interests. I follow my interests and never in a million years will I support white supremacist nation of Ukraine.
When this new phase of the war started (early 2022), I was briefly siding with Ukrain, until I did my proper research and realized I was being duped by western propaganda/media.

OKOSISIBF:
I love the relationship Putin is building with Africa nations but I'm afraid if we reject his offers he could get furious and bomb Africa or deal with Africa politically. I just have to believe he's not a dictator though

What you need to do is to get disconnected from your western propaganda. You have very irrational fears.
I'm not saying president Putin is a dictator, but what does him being a dictator have to do with his relationship with Africa?
Is he the president of an African nation ? Or of Africa as a whole ?
The westerners have entrenched their propaganda into your brain, you think what they want you to think.
Go and ask all the victims of the USA if they felt good about the fact the USA president was not a dictator.

Do you know which countries bombed African nations in the past years: France, usa, uk...
Ask the victims of those bombings how they loved the "democracy" bombs which fell upon them.

The true problem of Africa is lack of education.

Bluffly:
This is how Africa undermine themselves. One European country summoned all African countries to a summit. Can we have Nigeria-Europe summit

Invitation and summon are the same to you ?
Jesus, it must be hard to be your friend, especially when one is inviting his friends to his wedding.

dvkot:
are they bored of Ukraine already 🤨

300 million is a drop in the bucket, at the same time the USA is taking weapons away from Taiwan and giving them to Ukraine and also giving Taiwan orders of USA weapons to Ukraine instead of Taiwan.

dvkot:
be like una know una self before cos all this shots are too personal and totally unrelated to this thread

😅 Yes their arguments are way too specific for me to believe they do not know each other.

Pacesetter123:
Yes, for supplying you with fertilizer to boost food production, for supplying you wheat to make bread so you won't die of hunger,for supplying you weapons to fight Boko Haram you created yourself,for pardoning your huge debts that you couldn't pay for donkey years.
So what more. " problem" do you want them to cause you?

Don't mind him, like many he doesn't think for himself, he is a human photocopier. He repeats what some other people (whom he thinks are great) said or their general feeling.

The only country in Africa which defeated colonisation (Ethiopia) got help from Russia to defeat the same western countries which are claiming to be friends of Africa.

After the war between Russia and NATO in Ukraine, Russia will have a huge excess of military equipment and an enormous industrial production rate (military and civilian). There are chances that countries like Nigeria might be about to decently equip their armed forces after this war. Russia will definitely become the biggest defence equipment provider in the world.

seunny4lif:
What France did in French speaking [Africa] is beyond whatever British might have done

The British committed a genocide on the Indians.
The British committed a genocide on the Edo people.
The British committed a genocide on the aborigines (Australia)
The British committed a genocide on American Indians.

The British didn't treat everybody the same way, and the British were not better than the French, perhaps your own people didn't get the same treatment as my people did, but don't generalize your case.
The map below shows what Benin kingdom was before fighting Britain.

⚡Soldiers of the Presidential Guard in 🇳🇪 Niger arrested the Niger's President Mohamed Bazoum inside the presidential palace

Weird I thought the president of Niger would be a black man, not a Tuareg. I mistook.

doncartel:
The owner of Google is Sergey Brin who is a Russian, that’s why they have that opinion.

The second world war was 80% won by USA. They defeated Germany and Japan simultaneously. Did Russia participate in defeating Japan? No. Everybody knows that it was America who bombed a hell out of Japan thereby resulting in the Japanese surrender.

So Russia won the Eastern European war but USA won the global war.

Russia entered late into the war against Japan, but it still did enter (after defeating Germany).
The USA didn't dare to enter Europe untill Russia had already soundly defeated Germany and it was already clear that Europe was up for grabs. Who did the USA fight in Europe: soldiers already defeated by Russia and German children provided with little training and weapons.
In Japan, for your information, before Russia joined to fight Japan, the Americans were not alone. The Chinese, other Asian nations and even us Nigerians were fighting against Japan alongside the bastard British.

Anybody who knows anything about WW2 knows that the biggest battles of that war were fought by the soviet union. And by the way, who reached Berlin first ?

seunny4lif:
If you get it then you get it but if you don't I can't explain oooh

Russia riding leopard tanks 🤔
How nice of Germany to provide those tanks to Russia 😅
Ukrainian/NATO propaganda is often times very lazy they just switch roles between Ukraine and Russia and then they call that the news.
