The problem seems to be that there is not a lack of quantity these days, but truly of quality

But you dont see any thing wrong with a woman who gives her husband just once a whole MOnth.

I doubt the ancient Edo and Yoruba people were debating like this.

PhysicsQED:
Keep fooling yourself with wikipedia quotes and nonsensical reasoning. There isn't a single f.ucking thing about Lagos that's special. Much of it is a dump and is has no cultural significance to anybody. It's entire reason for prominence are a combination of geographical and historical factors (Benin monarchs founding it, and later its prominence in the slave trade), nothing to do with Aworis or any other Yorubas making it into some great city. Some Benin people turned it from a fishing village to a significant city, some Yorubas made it into a slave trading hub, and it has no other importance.

Even debating with someone who hasn't bothered to read any Benin history, but relies on wikipedia, of all things, is pointless.

Some runaway Benin people influenced the founding of Onitsha, and lo and behold, there is a monarchy in Onitsha (Obi of Onitsha) (Obviously there are other monarchies in Igboland, but this one was a little more prominent than most of the others)

Some Benin prince went to Warri and lo and behold, there is a monarchy in Warri (Olu of Itsekiri/Olu of Warri).

Some Benin monarch went to Lagos, but simpletons would have us believe that they simply went there to fish and mate with the natives, who were the true builders of the city into an important commercial center. Pure nonsense. You obviously know nothing about just how imperialistic Benin was and why they were so successful. For a rudimentary introduction, mull over this:

There are many many other books, if you're interested. Or you can remain ignorant, and dream that a tiny Yoruba fishing village became Lagos simply because the Yoruba fishermen spontaneously decided to build a real city.

Na Una know, the set of Yoruba people that do call other tribes Ibo when they realized they can speak Yoruba are the old Yoruba men and women, i was once called an Ibo guy, felt angry and wanted to lash on that woman, lol because she was so bad annoying when she even pronounced the so call Ibo, too bad it sucks,   and for some people's information, it is Ibo not Igbo ok?

honeric01:
It's Ibo not Igbo, let everyone go and make research, stop following the crowd ok? well the Edo's are not from the descendant of Oduduwa, the Edo descendant is actually the first child of Oduduwa not the last child so go and study very well and then come and prove me wrong
