Seriously I read the trash the idiot quoted me in, he thinks people are stupid and daft as he is.
Let's not bother replying him again, he is Yoruba they can do anything to twists their history just to be on top.

teehay45:
going by the debate so far I think the following is clear

1 .there was nothing like Benin kingdom before oranmiyan went there to rule what the benin's had was igodomigodo

2. the title been held by the king or ruler of the benin's was ogiso or ogie b4 d coming of oranmiyan the grandson of oduduwa who his son Eweka was d first Oba of Benin abolishing the ogiso dynasty

3. another index in this debate is population and the popularity of the yoruba language over the benin's...is it possible for a population of less than 1 million to be dominant over a tribe of more than 15 million people when there is no major war or genocide

4. deities like the Olokun, Sango are more peculiar to the yoruba genealogy which is even confirmed by the western culture. how can the benin's lay claim to this


5. the word 'Oba' which the benin's lay claim to have been used by the earliest pple in Yoruba land even b4 the birth of Benin kingdom. one of the earliest Ooni of Ife was Obalufon, Obatala another popular orisha also comes to mind

we Yoruba's are suyalysing the Nupes and not the other way around, we were the ones that won the civil war for this country with our superior military tactics the only ones to have ever put the Fulani invaders in their place.

u Bini folks really have big issues. . why do you feel so threatened by Yorubas?

so Oba of Lagos stool is from Bini. ..
Oba of Bini stool is from Ife. ..there!


and btw the current Oba of Lagos dynasty (Ologun Kutere dynasty) is nt Bini but Ijesa. ..

macof:


But that's what Alake and Ooni are saying. . the ignorant esogban..a common chief is now saying nonsense


if Oba erediuwa is still alive he should say it himself that he was no connection with the house of Oduduwa

As an Ondo native and Uniben alumni, I reiterate that we have nothing to do with Bini! Bini clowns wouldn't stop to denigrate themselves! How could Bini rule Benin republic yet has no influence in Oyo which borders Benin Republic nor influence in Benin republic herself as opposed to the number of Yoruba natives cutting across the West to Togo and Benin Replublic?
How can Bini claim to have Okun god when thgey have no sea in the first place?
How about these clowns providing evidence to back up claims that Bini was an empire or that the Lost bastard was Oduduwa? LOL! The joke is on you!
That being said, Yoruba have folklores and at the same time, tend to give real men/women names affiliated with the Folklore!
For instance, Oduduwa is a folklore myth but at the same time, there was a person named Oduduwa, who ruled Ife for many years! Same as Ogun, Obatala, Sango and his 3 wives (Oba, Oya etc). We all have them in numbers as a real person and folklores! Don't get it twisted!

Bro I am also a uniben alumni don't u know the meaning. Of UGBOWO? It means where owo people were defeated I AM also attaching screenshots to show you ondo is essentially part of Edo state, if there can be ijaws ( an offshoot of Edo ). HOw then Won't Edos be indigenous?

The truth is in modern Nigeria we dont like telling ourselves the truth and everything is politicised that is why they even clamouring for more states .

Also if in your funny wisdom u argue Benin couldn't have controlled dahomey since its seperated by then oyo I ask u to Google cabinda (Angola ) and solve your own mental question .

Hehehehe You descendants of a masquerade (Oduduwa) won't kill me with laughter.
It's very obvious you all don't know shit about history. Why am I even replying you sef.

Benin, were the king is truly king. Is there anybody who questions the greatnes of this empire. Let not be sentimental here, even in buhari's speech he mentn on 4 precolonial empires. Sokoto, bornu, oyo nd Benin. We edos wud rather die on our feet than live on our knees. We have neva tastd subjugatn until the 1867, and as freemen we fought with all we had. Go ask the british hw long it took to cntrol edo land. Even when Benin city fell we fought on. HRH OKOJIE 1 of Uromi continued the war. Even wen the brits tried to force a king on us, it cudnt work, our monarchy is supreme, u cnt bend it...so dnt take us as being proud, its our nature as freemen nd chldren of the magnificent himself. I am #Benin# the city were a king is truly king. Oba gha to kpere

Ooni was not one of Oduduwa's children. He was a priest(ABORE) of a shrine that became a ruler after.Alafin of Oyo was one of them.

Alake is supposed to be called Alake of Ake not Alake of Egbaland.Egbaland is made up of Agura, Owu,Oke-ona nd Ake.Politics made him to be so addressed.He oversees a Quarter in Egbaland.He seemed not to be versed in history.

So is Ooni.At d time Ooni held sway none of Oduduwa's children was in Ife.That is d reason he is appellated as AROLE ODUA.

Oduduwa came from EDO(BENIN).

Ugbowo is now where Owo was defeated? I no fit laugh!
Have you've been to Owo before? Do you know many towns you would encounter from Uniben (benin city) to Owo? How could Owo be defeated in a place quite far from them? Just see the conjectures everywhere
Bini and lies, eh!
That reminds how the same senile bini people said Ekosodin was where Eko people were defeated! How could Eko be defeated in a place as far back as bini?
I ask again where was the phantom bini empire? Prove with evidence to back up claims that the empire even existed in the first place?
Yeye people!

These are Myths and Folklore's. These was never Sango or whatever.

Btw is it not the same Ooni that goes kneeling before Tinubu and Obasanjo to be nominated and installed as ooni. He should read his history books if his father did not.

mrDennis:
Am a proud bini man and I make bold to say I CONCUR ! If not for the fact that it was an abomination for a non-Benin man to speak bini back in the old days by now Benin would be a 'major' language second only to Hausa .

People who do not know facts don't know the IBO race/kingdom started after *EBO* meaning yellow man a prince of Benin kingdom was banished accross the Niger and the place was called *ONITSE* meaning "it's enough". Today it is called onitsha . And the whites who couldn't understand bini called them IBO (he-bo)

Ile ife learnt its bronze casting from Benin also it's crafts that's a fact , also bini kingdom was a a very diplomatic kingdom and thus we had lots of ambassaodors , thus the oranmiyan story

Truth be told this is a clarion call to all binis around the world to start putting pressure on FG to revert to regional system let's take ondo , delta, bayelsa and anambra territories back!
