gregyboy: so u do know the itsekiri kingdom was established in the 15th century. The first Europeans to arrive in what is now present day Nigeria were the Portuguese they first called Benin empire beny during the reign of oba ozolua in 1472 and 1486AD. The Portuguese admitted to finding a very developed kingdom with a very advance system. This visits and subsequent interchanges lead to king John II of Portugal who reign from 1881 to 1895 to exchanging correspondence with the king of Benin on peer like basis. |

The similarities between tangut empire, China empire and Mongol empire may have been because Mongol empire used the tangut military in conquering China so during that time they may have traded among one another which may what have brought the similarities in art. |

goalernestman: IF what u a saying is true why don't u provide other maps to prove ur claim instead of using the same old map and the oba of Benin descendants may be the oba of Lagos but he got the crown from the aworis who occupied a part of Lagos not all of it. if that is the case then why do we have ijebus in Lagos who claim to be the first settlers of Lagos. The reason I mentioned that not all maps are accurate and I never argued with u about the bight of Benin as I said they may be the most favoured by the Portuguese. |

WOW quite impressive how much u know about the TANGUT language spoken by the ancient tangut empire. THE tangut empire also known as the western xia but called tangut by the mongol empire, might not be as large as it but was also quite large covering over 1,000,000 kilometers. IT was subjected by the mongol empire. THIS long forgotten empire is known for TANGUT script an other reason for the famous of this kingdom is the xixia tomb where the xia emperor where buried it longs somehow like the Egyptian pyramid. |

goalernestman: AND WHAT WILL I find out that I don't already know yeah sure u got ur map that clearly shows Benin kingdom conquered all of Nigeria but u have to figure out that not all maps made by Europeans are accurate. Alot of maps I saw always have Yoruba controlled the whole of South west and some even misspelled Yoruba like one map called it YARRIBA and because u could only find one map out of countless u belief ur map is accurate. 1 Like |

How is that Igbo?[/quo Listen carefully and pay attention to my words I try to keep this as simple as I can I know you have difficult with comprehension especially things beyond your limited mental faculty There is no tribe called Nsuuka in Delta what they have is USISA or did u mean the Nsuuka in igboland. I am not here to have a language battle but to clear ur misconceptions and ridiculous grouping of distinct tribes has one with the igbo race and if u have nothing important to say then I advise you to keep ur irrational opinion to yourself.

goalernestman: That's it man u never listen how many times do I have to tell u that Benin kingdom never conquered ijebu kingdom. If u bother to check records u would know that ijebu kingdom was never conquered by any kingdom and during that time after oyo empire the second most powerful kingdom is ijebu kingdom. Since u said oyo empire didn't exist won't that make ijebu kingdom the most powerful kingdom get u facts straight next time. |

goalernestman: What is the problem man is like on every site I always have to see ur name posting the same old crap has usual. Anyway by wall kingdom did u mean the great wall of Benin the second largest wall kingdom in africa after THE GREAT WALL OF EREDO in ijebu. And biafra is not even what igbo people called themselves during that time and Benin was never the capital of Nigeria the map u keep posting everywhere is fake if that is ur only point u have to say. The Portuguese would neve first arrive in calabar it would be Lagos probably the part that belongs to Benin. |

olaitoro: First of all, I would like to apologise for your know-nothing,featherbrain, simpleton mentality. That has refused to free itself from colonial and happy slave mentality. How can you call Delta, an Igbo tribe, have you no respect. You are no different from the cultural ignorance colonial rulers and foreigner. The "concept Nigeria" is fraud. You have contacted the senselessness of the foriegner. You out of your myopic nature decide with your fellow dim wit to say Delta is Igbo because you know your tribe is nothing with crude oil. Nigga must you famz. Let your tribe focus on their resources. You have disrepected Africa by compelling to the Scramble of the Continent. There goes another man, who have been whitewash. By the way that was not Igbo but Ukwuani. Fire ur knowledge I was also taking about other east tribes u cling to other tribes forcing them to believe in ur biafra mentality. I know u insulted me in igbo and yes I understood everything you said so I belief is time i insult u in Igbo to ENI TI GO A DIA NU IHE OFUMU AND NOW IN UKWUANI ENA KWE ELA. SO u know, there are ukwuanis in rivers state and since u are an expert on geography where is rivers. |

I refuse to categorize myself as a Yoruba because I am against the colonial mentality that "all southwest" should be classified as "Yoruba". We were all tribes before ethnicity. That is why I love native America, they refuse to be address as an ethnicity but a tribe. I am just tired of hearing Too, Benin empire because these other tribe in Yoruba had empire. Let's other Yoruba tribes free ourselves from mental slavery and really I'm quite fluent in English by may guess I'm more fluent than u Neanderthal for the record how many Benin people are on the list of richestmen in africa.
