I've got all the love and respect in the world for Benin folks, and the achievements of that great empire. Edo people are like my brothers. So, best believe I'm objective as possible. And this isn't about superiority. It's about giving credits where it's due, to protect our mutual history.

Anyway, I'm glad you accepted that certain aspects of Bini religions were borrowed from Yoruba's, unlike these other folks living in denial. And a lot of things in Yoruba culture/traditions/arts were also borrowed from the Bini's and other tribes.

As for the moat, I'll speak based on FACTS, not fiction. Why isn't the Bini in the guinness book of records like the Ijebu moat? And how come the Ijebu moat preceded it?

Size of the two moats again to see which was actually bigger:

Benin Moat:



Ijebu Sungbo Eredo Moat:



^^^Can you compare 11 miles(Bini), to the 100 miles(Ijebu)?

Edit: I had to change the first source. That was hyperbole by Benin folks.

Its obvious the man doesnt want to do anything with his ex wife nor initiate any reconciliatory move but really want to be in the life of his daughter. Why will the ex wife deny him the honour of being with his daughter during the event?

Why must she spite him by going with another man in his own daughter best moment?

Am sure am not the only one who feels this way, I like being indoor and there are even times that even when my neighbours knock on my door,I might not even answer them.I guess am an introvert,i really feel safe being alone and am more productive being alone.This night a guy i know just knocked on my door even though i didn't open up.Anyone who feels this way should please share there experience.I feel weird.
Abeg o no insult person oo.Am a student though.
