I am not sure Ipuke yoots will like this. A Biafran woman leaves her husband's house to go for some Kanuri heavies.
It is well

Don't worry OP. The hotel where they have lodged the encoders and hackers has been located. About 50 freedom fighters are encircling the hotel. They will be bled dry by Kalashnikov's and Ak's. They were warned. About 20% of them are YORUBAS.

Some part of me still can't believe she seriously meant that. If everyone on NL knows its a dangerous mindset then she should also know it's a terrible ideology.

But then, this is marriage where one cant afford to make a mistake.

I will try a bit of patience and dialogue and I hope my instincts dont betray me..

Thanks bro

The political or economic power of ancient kingdoms like Ghana kingdom, Songhai, Bini empire, Egypt, Ethiopia, e.t.c are not necessarily related to their current political influence, otherwise, Egypt would have been the most successful nation on earth. Rome, not even Italy would have been the most successful nation in today's Europe. Where is Rome today?.

Egypt brought civilization to the world; where is Egypt today?. Ethiopia was so powerful in the past that they were not colonized; where is Ethiopia today?.

Some ancient great kingdoms are not even heard of today, cause nothing is left of their former selves. Where is Songhai today?. It's just a name in the history books!.

Kingdoms fall!. Kingdoms rise!. Kingdoms reach a height at specific time in their history, and that's what the Bini empire did up to the 1800 century AD. As a matter of fact, the Bini Kingdom is globally recognized as one of greatest empire of the ancient world, not just in Africa.

Ife or and Oyo empires were an offshoot of the Bini empire, and that doesn't diminish the power wielded by the Oyo empire at their prime.

I try to avoid this kind of thread cause it leads to ethnic bashing, something I don't want to be part of. However, my theory about the cause of this incessant argument on Nairaland about who was greater or not, is that Yorubas today are more educated than the Bini's and could re-write history to their favour. Afterall, after the British committed so much crime all over the world, Mr. Oscar Wilde told them not to worry, because according to him "the only thing we owe to history is to re-write it".

[b]My simple questions for the Benins will be:

How long did a runaway price from Benin take to walk from Benin to Ife (Probably 3 months).
How did he survive without food and water for this period?
How can a man so dirty and tired after walking for months, be able to convince the people in Ife, he came from the sky (A better place lol)?
What language did their prince speak to the Yoruba's in Ife when he got there and how were they able to understand?
How did the Benin know that their prince was alive in Yorubaland?

If the Benin claim they own the OBA title, Why did they have to change from Ogiso Dynasty to a new Oba Dynasty?
If you believe that Oduduwa was a prince from Ogiso, there should be no reason for the Dynasty change, you guys would have continued with the Ogiso.....

My Opinion is that, the Benin knew that the was no royal Male blood to carry on from the last Ogiso Dynasty. The was serious trouble in the Kingdom, so they called for help from their closest Spiritual/Prosperous Ife people to send a Royal male to impregnate their Royal princess, so the kingship could continue (Since kingship is from the Male blood line).

Unfortunately, Since a new Male Royal Blood from Ife arrived, they had to change Dynasty from Ogiso to Obaship.

For starters, power or influence is not necessarily about population or landmass. Israel, for example, has a small population of about 6 million jews and a tiny landmass country compared to the hundreds of millions of Arabs living in nations surrounding it with bigger landmass but it wields a very strong influence in the middle east region. A country's population is not necessarily a determinant of its power or influence.

It is well recorded in the annals of history that the kingdom of Benin DID wield huge influence and conquered neighbouring ethnic groups which were subjects to this kingdom. However, the kingdom did not think it imperative to impose their language on their conquered territories as they thought of the Bini language to be 'royal', and limited only to a few people and thus allowed the ethnic groups under them to keep onto their languages.

I'm Ijaw not Bini but tired of seeing renewed ethnic clash...


I know where this will head to....

omonnakoda:
The person I quoted introduced the term "Ile-Ife" empire so he needs to educate us about it. You certainly have no manners and no upbringing that is why you keep spitting like a rabid dog.
I have no said anything about Benin Empire. What I do know and what I promote is good relations between Edo and Yoruba . Not childish sensationalism because you wish to create thread. Some of us see far ahead long after your idiotic thread and you will have returned to your deserved obscurity. Yoruba do not need gratuitous enemies
I can only apologize to Edo brothers and urge them to give you the treatment you deserve which is to ignore you as one would a mad man on the street

Please don't start... @OP!




Thanks!

Only a bastard like me and not a true omoluabi will go picking unnecessary and foolish fights.

Edo are brothers of Yoruba one way or another . We do not have any dispute with them. If you think it is funny or a cheap thrill you better go and find something to do.

If there is any misunderstanding with Edo we will resolve it with Iwa pele that real Yoruba are know for not like the descendants of slave masquerading as Yoruba

the ancient Benin empire covered different tribes.you can't compare the sort of power and influence the Benin empire wielded to that of any yoruba kingdom.

omonnakoda:
Idiotic and childish post.Shame!! You better grow up and find employment

Firefire:


I don't do this tribal talk stuff, but the truth remains that Benin Kingdom is a subset of Ile-Ife Empire.

Shalom!
