OrlandoOwoh: I'm not comfortable with states changing their logos. In the US, some states have been using the same logos, anthems, flowers, etc for hundred of years. Nigeria doesn't have that luxury. |

OfoIgbo: I have narrowed down the names of explorers of importance whose exploration records should be investigated 1. Ruy De Sequeira (1472 exploration) 2. Joao Afonso d'Aveiros and German astronomer Martin of Behaim (1485 exploration). The first name is at times written as John Affonso d'Aveiros
I also noticed something of importance when I was reading a brief bio of Oba Ozolua whose real name before he ascended the throne was Prince Okpame.
In one of my previous messages in this thread I alluded to the fact that in Umu-Nri clans, aliases or nomenclatures will normally be attached to one's Oba title. I gave a justification to why the first Oba of Benin adopted IWEKA. Another example being that the current Eze Nri has a cousin whose real name is Prince Onyesoh who is an Oba. His full Oba name being Oba Agbalanze, just like Prince Okpame became Oba Ozolua, thus showing a major similarity between Obaship in Nri and that in Benin. Maybe Yorubas do fhe same, I dont know.
Oba Ewuare was reigning during the period of the 1472 exploration while Oba Ozolua was the reigning monarch during the 1485 exploration.
Portuguese archives will have anthropological details of these 2 explorations and I believe the HIGHLY REVERED MEN FROM THE EAST will remain standing at the end of the investivation. Who knows? Maybe the reports will say a lot about huge Yoruba influence in Benin, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Enough of the talking. This is the time for hard facts. perhaps you mean manufactured facts aka fantasy or fiction. The Portuguese records were destroyed in an earthquake, there is no reinventing of the wheel save for uninformed persons who subscribe to half-bakedness. If you claim to have any "new anthropologies", chances are you are just being mischievous. Nothing new about that anyway. |

Kanoro: No... I this isn't in the actual continent of Africa and it's not supposed to match it geographically accurately. Also where don't I sound American? "It has arrived" is typical Nigerian or African terminology. It's not the actual African continent but you used African place names. |

Mogidi: This was what I responded to:
Was this logo designed by someone from Edo state?
Does this logo belong to Edo state? if that is not the Edo state logo, then all you have to do is let us know. You should also inform the poster, not me. You can design a logo just for fun and post it on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/2671928/logo-ideas-design-logo-urMy critique is based on the fact that I do scrutinize art. Dont take it personally. |

There is something very fishy about all this.
Yorubas are not the fall guy, the Igbos involved should look outside Yorubaland for their answers.
Closer to home no doubt, check the people who don't like you.
Yoruba are very accommodating to visitors, we are actually more courteous to visitors than ourselves .
I am not an example though, I follow my own pattern. |

thorpido: I doubt infertility is peculiar to the rich.You probably just hear more stories about the rich because they have money and other resources to seek solutions. True, but poorer people don't seem to have fertility issues. And they can't afford many of the things rich people can. |

Kanoro: Basically the coastline of Otiile has a different shape. West Africa curves outwards and has a large gulf. Otiile does not. With that said, It was impossible for me to put Benin to the east of Oyo without sacrificing it's coastline. I wanted Benin to have a coastline due to the fact that it has Eko. maybe you mean ouidah. |
