the yorubas has always turned history upside dwn for a very long time in their favour... but truth is the yorubas actually came from the binis, the word that turned out to be 'yoruba' today was given to them by the bini's even lagos was named eko' by the same bini's....however i feel dis is all unecessary by the yoruba obas (political obas) cos if they truly want to knw where true monarchy is in the whole of nigeria they knw where to find it....BENIN KINGDOM.....OBA' GHA TO' KPERE 9 Likes 1 Share |

Olabestonic001:No part of Benin speak Yoruba, don't mistake Edo for bini Makes no sense Example of Yoruba tradition the bini's borrowed or worship Some tribes like urhobo and others have their root to Benin but don't speak the language, there could be a reason for that. In all reality, the Esogan saying they've nothing to do with Yoruba's and still claiming that the Ooni was a descendant of Bini is very contradictory. And lets all know that The Ooni is the traditional Head of the Yoruba race worldwide even up to some Brazilian's Yoruba's and why claim seniority if you're truly senior? Ooni should just continue in his process of uniting the Yorubas. [/quote] 1 Like |

Elitist beings with little contributions to the society...unless you count them buying Rolls from Coscharis... Wish we could scrap this traditional rulers thing away, the British are seriously gunning to make theirs irrelevant. I doubt they pay tax. They are treated like super mortals at the expense of hardworking and tax paying Nigerians. here they are talking about lineages and historical hullabaloo instead of mentoring the Traveller and forcing him to stay at home and work. 2 Likes |

I think it really did not add up for Benin to be claiming they gave birth to ooni.the population of Benin is like 10% of Yorubas. and from onset the name Oba has always been used. it's just that they use more of the AKAs e.g the alake of Egba land. All i know is the oba of benin is also very powerful and highly respected as other yoruba Kings. Born2Breed: 1 Like |

People should not forget that the Benin’s were very strong people with documented history. Although not written but perfectly passed by word of mouth and craft. I have always said that the story of Oduduwa is fake? He never existed. Come, how can you believe that he came from Mecca and another story said he came down from the heaven with ladder. I am not a mumu. If you tell children of this days about Oduduwa, she will surely stone you with question that your generation can never answer. I respect goes to the Benin. The name Eko was named by Benin’s. They conquered several wards in the Yoruba kingdom. The Olokun festival and Oro are still celebrated in Benin. The artifacts to this tradition were taken from shrine after conquering. |

ritababe: There is nothing like oduduwa as far Benin is concern, Izuduwa is the name ( I have chosen my destiny) this makes sense since he was reported to have been approached by bini's to come take over the throne of his father but refused and said he has been made a king in Yoruba land |

folks4luv:that does not prove anything. The Benin Kingdom had been in existence long before the Oyo kingdom, that is an historical truth. They were ruled by KINGS CALLED THE 'SKY KING'. Oduduwa according to the Benins was a prince who ran away from Benin and later settled at IFE. Imagine the people asking him who he is and him telling them he is A SKY KING then you'll understand the story behind him coming from the sky. The Benin Kingdom controlled most of West Africa then and his regarded as the first true Monarchy in the region 2 Likes |

Oga, take am easy o, follow the trend carefully. It was Alake of Egba Land that listed the hierarchy of kings in Yoruba Land and rated Oba of Benin the 3rd and oonin of ife was trying to settle it that no one is claiming supremacy but all he is after is unity among the traditional rulers erusen: |

MrPresident1: That has long been settled. Ododuwa was a Benin Prince, banished and wandered through forest, first reaching Owo area before Ife. Benin is roughly 70 miles east/South East of Owo, Owo is roughly 70 miles East of Ife. Hence Ekaladerhan entered Ife from the East! But Yoruba somehow think some mythical figure from Mecca it is. ![]() ![]() If Ododuwa was Benin man in the first place, how can Benin Royal family be Youruba? ![]() ![]() Benin and Yoruba people had lived where they are now over 4,000 years before Ododuwa. Even if Ododuwa was Yoruba & Benin Royal family is Yoruba origin (which it is not) how does that make all Benins Yoruba? British Royal family is German, are all British German? Even though Anglo-Saxons left Germany & Denmark in 5th century AD, you cannot call them German. Swedish Royal family is French, are Swedes therefore French? Mexico once had an Austrian King, did it make all Mexicans Austrian? Former Greek Royal family is German-Danish, are all Greeks now German-Danish? ![]() ![]() Just because Benin gave up its rights to provinces in Eastern Yorubaland, Delta & elsewhere as a British pre-condition to restore the monarchy in 1914 doesn't mean people should change history. 6 Likes |
