Those areas are historically yorubas, politically edo

They are akoko edo from a branch of akokos in ondo state benin only ruled over them

Edeyoung:
I posted this a fews years ago in one of my created threads

Edeyoung:
Nothing makes them yorubas in this picture


The headline tagging them yorubas was wrong those are not yoruba people

Edeyoung:
The namelust in ososo towns are yorubas

Claiming edo was a political move and not historical, tho edo ruled over them in historical times but originally they are akoko yorubas who fled to edo

Edeyoung:
So whats your version of ogedegbe lets hear it

Edeyoung:
.

Edeyoung:
(1) Ogedengbe never steped in benin city he only raided edo north to edo central

(2) were he stoped at igueben and was driven back by the esan warriors by the orders of the oba of benin

(3) Ogedengbe was later captured by the British and was later released untill he died in1910

Edeyoung:
Do you know why i like quoting you, you seem not to quit in the face of defeat, you will still find
Words to say, you are unlike the others who finds finds thier words while using as bait

Anyway i deliberately tagged you on this post i know you will run coming, and as soon as you do that, the others will come around....

Edeyoung:
Edo blog yea it is but it was an interview record made by a Yoruba man not edo


Edo blog only copied the audio speech into written documents

While you wont take it serious others will

Edeyoung:
Did ogedegbe venture to benin

Edeyoung:
(1) We killed the thug... Ogendegbe in esan land he never steped foot in benin how would he cross the benin walls and the ditch surrounding it

Ogendegbe was stop at esan


(2) Ibadan raided his people in edo north the yoruba people who fled to edo for oba safety
They still keep thier yoruba names today

BabaRamota1980:
Thank you for bringing this out. There was distinct division between Edo and Bini. Nigerian politics muddled things up and it was further diluted when Edo state was created. There is distinction between Bini and Edo. Edo are slaves, Binis are aristocrats and nobles. Yhese guys here Edos, none of them is Bini. They hope and struggle to be Bini. When i used to come here regular and spit on their ancestors i always tell them they can never be Bini. Their response is always that there is no difference or distinction, that Edo is Bini. Till date I have never heard Lagos monarchy say it was from Edo. They aleays claim Bini root. Ypruba dont give a fvk about Edo. Bini belongs to us. That has always been my focus here. Edos are slaves to Bini. I will fvk up an Edo person. They are witches. Becareful dont touch any broom on a stick. These people are wicked. Look in Edo history and you see its all about exile, banishment, treachery, enmity, uprising, poisoning. They are wicked. I tell Yoruba if you ever fall in love with anyone in Edo State make sure to do your homework and ascertain their ancestral background. They must be Bini, not Edo. Wicked people. I cant stand Igbo but I have sympathy for them because they have been through a lot. I cant stand Edo and I have zero sympathy for Edo. In fact ill fvk Edo up. These people are wicked. They anger me.

BabaRamota1980:
Edeyoung, i read the book attachment from TAO. Did you read it? Is a 24yr old man what you call small child? Its either you are lying or Dapper is lying. Both of you agree attendants to Oba are naked. So when did you start putting clothes on your attendants. When you began clothing them, what styling of clothe was used to cover them? You don waka enter trap now.

ayoola27:
I read the other attachment ...it clearly states that Yoruba were employed in the palace...as slaves ...not like it was their their lingua franca...

even father Columbine of Nantes was chased out of Benin because he angered the chiefs

I'm still waiting for the book sha

ayoola27:
what's the name of the book u posted

Edeyoung:
... again children and slave was not allowed to wear clothes until they are adult

Edeyoung:
... In benin ancient times slaves and children don't wear clothes untill adult age ...

Edeyoung:
Those were your people who escaped from thier yoruba areas to seek refuse in edo
They bear yoruba names and they are called akoko edo a branch from akoko people from ondo....
If ibadan raided them why truly didnt they install thier person as king

Agsin ogendegbe was killed in edo

MetaPhysical:
TAO,
God bless you!

We have not given Ijebu people their dues. There are records crediting Ijebu people as the origin of clothing and weave designs all over bights of benin and biafra. Their designs went as far as Calabar.

Just by studying Ijebu clothing and its distribution on the coast it also touches on the culture of Ogboni shoulder drape and certain patterns and motifs. Which should debunk the claim of gregyboy on Ogboni origin.

Edeyoung:
We civilized you guys and gave you clothes thought you all our worship even sold you as slaves...


You all came to trade with the whitemen at the benin river from your vsrious location were the oba laws fully influenced you......



You're lesving in dreams copy copy tribe

gregyboy:
Most yorubas wont even read or even debate thier own history, not to say other people's history


They keep arguing thier history all around myth with no scientific consideration or factual analysis this tribe called are know for living in denial.....

Even wen politics is concerned

davidnazee:
... And for your foolish talk about Benin speaking Yoruba, that is a big lie. It is not written anywhere that Benin spoke Yoruba ...

davidnazee:
Nobody (including scholars/historians) acknowledges this rubbish you wrote as significant enough to study or research ...

Edeyoung:
No sense bro,

If benins spoke lucumies language what changed, yorubas still speak lucumie today why only did edo change

Or was the french classifying all languages around the benin region as lucumies....

Or was the french man high....


What changed lucumies language in benin to edo language

Sadov gave a clear example that the lucumies were slaves in the palace and were still sold off by benins to the the whiteman as slaves

Edeyoung:
Like i maintained earlier benin was the known geographic focal point that's why, it came into the statement it was never included as speaker of lucumies as you are saying


Sandov didn't mention lucumies as a language in benin even when he reported the actvites of the palace


We knew the yorubas came to trade with the whiteman at the benin river at ughoton and Gelegele so the yorubas traders spoke thier language lucumies while trading at benin

So the french was not wrong.....


Today we still speak edo and yorubas still speak yoruba if benin spoke Yoruba why did they switch why only them.... If we are to go by your explanation

Edeyoung:
Start getting your fact right land grabbers edo state is bigger than ogun state you tribal bigot
Edo state is the third biggest state in Southern nigeria and we got oil and gas
In terms of natural resources no joke. no south western state can be in competition with edo...
If we are to select each south west state one one after the other against edo state they wont be a match anywere near Edo.....

We still waiting for TAO11 book

Edeyoung:
The fact it mentioned lucumies were employed in benin palace activities makes it already known that lucumies were distinct people from the benins.....

Areas surrounding benins still speak Yoruba (lucumies language today)

The yorubas such as Itsekiris ijebu and the whiteman used to trade in benin river and this people spoke the lucumies language and it was universal to them

Gregyboy screenshot further explains it....
