Well people can claim whatever they like but without any proof it's just nothing

But you Bini folk like claiming what doesn't concern you. .it has become a habit

macof:
ok what are the original names

Since when did we start taking mother's lineage over the father's in africa?

Yes yes all empires have a testament long after their collapse, nothing special with Bini particularly not in lagos. Look to Aniocha people for that

AreaFada2:
Well, when you see people subscribe to insults, hate, tribalism and bigotry, it is usually because they have NO knowledge of history. Any history or emperically reproducible facts based on dispassionate discourse and analysis.

I deliberately decided against ignorance and learn at every opportunity. Try it, it's very liberating indeed.

You often hear some Igbo spitting venom over Biafra and so called betrayal. Benin people were neutral to begin. Anioma people were still in Midwest cabinet and even still privy to meetings of SMC in Lagos. Until Biafra invaded Midwest and occupied Benin.

So, if you people are not solely allowed to write our history, it becomes distortion? Really? Through the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French and the English, Benin history and its territorial reaches were pretty well documented. But hey, we gave them up long ago.

But is not the same Anioma that Igbo East of the Niger don't really rally round to create a state for? With them preferring Adada and others?

Surprisingly, an Anioma just became governor of Delta State after 24 years, whereas an Anioma was first Premier of Midwest with full support of Edo people. I still remember childhood family friends from Anioma in top positions in goverment/civil service/Academia in Bendel. The Unukegwos, Ebies, Animeles and more. They did pretty well in Benin and were fully at home.

I doubt if any serious empire will leave it's capital city without walls. Not only it's capital city but any land that needed protection

A wall is the first call of Defense

macof:
I hear his mother was yoruba tho. But even Ado is a Yoruba name

macof:
Actually Akiolu is descended from an Ijesa man not Bini
The last Oba of Lagos in the Bini(Ado) dynasty was Akinsemoyin, although this family stil exists they cannot become Oba
The current dynasty is Ologun Kutere son of an Ijesa priest and sister of akinsemoyin

Anyway if you know anything about lagos you will know that the Bini descendants see themselves as Awori yorubas nothing more nothing less

But mercy is not.
Jesus said 'I will have mercy on whome i will have mercy.'

Be careful cuz anyone can lead you to hell.

tonychristopher:
I wonder how you get this analysis and they are apt and nice


Come to think of it ..if Benin was a great empire why building moats and walls ...who are they afraid of


Rome never built walls, Greece never built wall even Igbo ukwu NRI kingdom never


This a new dimension

wytecat:
Those were Bini of Yoruba extraction, not yours, they have nothing to do with you iboid new Benin. They came to Lagos and the locals(ijebu and Awori)hosted and gave them farmland and taught them fishing just like they did to the Egba and Oyo.

The Ondo people have already asked you to tell them when the ruling over them happened, but you avoided the question.

Going for green pastures is not the same as conquering, learn the difference.

Yoruba/Lagosians are still accommodating centuries later.

Ugomba:
I am not talking about our history here.. I am not a hater, just wanna set things right..
Edo is Edo, Anioma is Anioma.. Everybody should stay on his own.

laudate:
Yeah.... I heard about this. Did you also read about the massacre of civilians at Abudu, during the civil war??

lygn19:
Edo state people are theives.
the only Edo existence in the ss was because of the Edo empire, they tried to Edoize everybody even igbo land, but just as the ikwerres when they had the chance they changed the igbo names in ikwerre land to mk it sound ikwerre, SS minorities are Edo but they dont bear Edo names but prefer to bear igbo names.

lygn19:
they were edo people when ur cursed forefathers went and was pointing them out as igbos so that they would be killed by federal troops during the biafran war? .
Edo people are just pained that they are the most useless, cursed amd backward people in the ss thats y they keep trying to claim anybody thats a success, just like the thieves and gold diggers they are,
from claiming Lagos as benin land u are taking it to other parts of the SS, a thief is a thief.

Here's actually an excerpt, albeit it was written by Emeka Esogbue but it is a direct summarization of Emma Okocha books.

"It was this battle that gave birth to Murtala, a “Local champion” called Ibrahim Haruna and Ibrahim Taiwo of the Nigerian Army. Africans first had the practical experience of the word “genocide” in Igbodo where hundreds of lives were lost in the Nigerian civil war. In Isheagu, the case was not different. It was here that the ulterior motive of the Nigerian troop clearly unfolded.

The people were now scampering for the safety of their lives having experienced what happened in Igbodo and some other places. In the Midwestern region, able bodied men went into hiding leaving women and children at the mercy of advancing soldiers. The people of Benin went identifying their Ibo-speaking neighbours from house to house for executions."

I am sorry to disappoint you useless op...my own ekpeye trace our origin back to amawo in present day abia state..so shove your useless hypothesis up your sleeve and get a job!!!

Kingsley1000:

asaba history is linked to nteje in oyi lga in anambra,they ve same tradition,norms&values even dialect

lygn19:
Edo people dont have a reputation of being greedy and domineering against neighboring tribes, I guess u guys were showing ur generosity when ur Benin empire wqs busy rampaging southern Nigeria capturing everybody they seemed fit?
now not only are edo people petty thieves they are also Big liars am not surprised doh.

lygn19:
see mumu.
an Edo thief opened a thread,
to tell us y and how the entire southsouth are edo and y are blaming me for it, blame ur ancestors for cursing ur people into a useless state. Edo people are the only ones in the southsouth that are forcing themselves on Niger delta because they know how useless they are.
thief

Sarassin:
I would say it is a certainty that the NT was tampered with. As far back as the 2nd century CE the likes of Tertullian complained bitterly of changes to the composition of the scriptures as did others. Writings like the "Shepherd of Hermas" and the "Clementine Recognitions" were at one time considered canonical, they were removed for very frivolous reasons, the Apocalypse of John (Revelations) only just managed to get into the NT at the very last gasp, it was considered "un-Christian".

rexbuton:
He [Nero] was known for having captured Christians
burned in his garden at night for a source of light. -Wiki

read up acts 5.28.

the Catholic church did not save Christianity,; they were part of. the plan. if Christianity was conquered Christ would have been a scam. those rites and rituals you mentioned are not part of the body of Christ . the only ritual of the church is baptism by immersion and fasting. every other thing is a scam.

ace1:
From what Sarassin wrote, there's a possibility (Here's me assuming again) that the new testament could have been tempered with. Why I say this? I've read articles about some books not included in the bible. Also, the writers of these books could be anybody

Syncan:
Thanks for the mention, so much misconception , a bit too busy for now. The OP needs to take his own pill and study more.

uboma:
Stop complicating issues.

Give a yes or no answer.

@ topic, the Roman Catholic Priests have no power to pardon the sins of anyone. No man born of man and woman, can.

The evil satanic replacement in catholic.

Matt16:13-19 (Paraphrased)
And Jesus asked His disciples saying, Who do men say I am?
Some said, they say u r the prophet, some say John the Baptist,and others Jeremiah.
Jesus turned and said to them, But who do YOU say I am? ( You go everywhere with me, see all the miracles done, u sleep where I sleep, eat what I eat. WHAT and WHO do YOU say I AM)
There were all quite. But Peter spoke up and said " You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Jesus answered and said to him,flesh and blood had not REVEALED this to you
Jesus answered and said, you are peter, and upon this rock (which ROCK?) I build my Church... Why didn't jesus say, upon you Peter the Rock, why did he say, upon THis rock, again which rock?
Was it on peter the Church is to be built or on the Revelation Peter had of who Christ is?
It is that revelation that keeps christians even wen they r threatened with death.

THE POPE IS NOT A CHRISTIAN, he is CATHOLIC.

Anas09:
@macof.


Look around, any Catholic that seems to be serious abt Christ, has elemets of Pentecostalism in him/her. They ran along to bring Charismaticism into the Church because their sons and daughters were all running off.

@Ubenedictus.





U asked me how I could tell if Father Mbaka wrote that piece. A devote Catholic sent it to me. If he intended to exault Mbaka, I don't know. If that piece was written long before Mbaka was born, and it has Mbaka's name on it, then it goes to say, Mbaka is an intellectual thief. To plagiarise another persons work and put his name on it. Its stealing. He is not better than Muhammad of Arabia.
Lol. An holy spirit inspired piece. Lol again. O Well, if you don't know the holy spirit, how will you know His Modus Operandi?
Telling people to do something, but laying curses on them if they fail to do it? Can u find freewill in any of that shit?
Ubenedictus you fall my hand.
