Blackrevolution: The Benin And Yoruba Origin Fuss!!! by BlackRevolution(m): 11:01am On Jan 09, 2014 |
THE BENIN AND YORUBA ORIGIN FUSS!!! What appears to be an unending controversy surrounding Yoruba and Benin origin so far had given way to a copious number of books, articles, and lots of symposiums. However, one has to be a bit careful, as many writers parading as historians in order to justify their illusions on this matter had candidly attempted to distort history by so doing. Many in an attempt to ethnicize this issue has falsified the work of a historian as a “job for all”. Little do they know that no one has any birthright to proper justification with untainted objectivity to issues like this but the historian. Not all writers can sport in the shoe of a historian, as its one shoe that can only go well with many years of proper training, work outs and unyielding love for facts. This is not an attempt for any justification but a somewhat heads-up for spectators on this issue. This is no moment to argue that the Yourba hegemony had Bini under its influences or the Yoruba genealogy has Bini under its tree and this is not to say also that the Bini Empire created the Yoruba kingdoms. On the contrary, this is to signal spectators to be mindful of what they read about this controversy, as the way of authority lies chiefly in the inks of a well-bred historian. But to think Bini Empire that came into existence after Oduduwa created Ile-Ife, would somehow be the source of origin of the Yoruba kingdoms is nothing but a classic joke a stand-up comedian can put together. In an effort to distort history, Bini historian Jacob Eghareva, stated that the founder of the Yoruba race, Oduduwa, was a Bini Prince, Ekhaladeran, who having escaped from the hangman's axe, found his way to Ife, and thereafter crowned himself!!! Remain vigilant, not all books are history books!!! -Anonymous

Benin people know their history and are superior to Yorubas, Oba of Benin don't take bribe, while Yorubas Obas are the highest fraudsters of black race, they took bribe from Abacha and sold Abiola to him. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Even primary school kids can read the historical points and conclude that Oduduwa is a Benin Prince. So while the Yorubas surely existed before the coming of Oduduwa, Oduduwa himself originated from the benin kingdom. 1 Like |

BlackRevolution:You are hiding the truth, Oba of Benin is a truthful man and superior than all Oba of the Yorubas, and Benin people know their history very well. Oba of Benin don't take bribe while Yorubas Obas love and take too much Bribe, they sold Abiola to Hausa/Fulani North, when Abiola was about to die he cried and ask his Yoruba Oba brothers why they did this evil to him. |

As far as I know, the Benin and Yoruba royal lines intersect through a Bini prince who was self-exiled settled in Ile-Ife. His son Eweka I started the present dynasty which exists till this day through Oba Erediauwa. If the Oba of Benin thinks Yorubas came from there he had better back it up with evidence, same applies to historians. |

BlackRevolution: i repeat that your post is bogus. can you give us a detailed explanation on how the so-called prince started the yoruba race? and before he moved to Ile-Ife, who and what tribe are the indigenes of ife before your so-called prince.... or are you saying the prince name is Adam and went there with Eve? and in reply to this : Bini historian Jacob Eghareva, stated that the founder of the Yoruba race, Oduduwa, was a Bini Prince, Ekhaladeran, who having escaped from the hangman's axe, found his way to Ife, and thereafter crowned himself!!! Does crowing him make him the forefather of the Yoruba Kingdom? |
