Facts about Oba of Benin compare to yoruba
Oba
1) yoruba standpoint based on mythology
while the Edo take the reality option
2)yoruba see oduduwa(izududuwa) as god
descended from sky while the benin know his birth through Ekaladerhan
3)oba was never yoruba title until recently
adopted
4)yoruba has the population that why scholars
beliefs them. the most.but that not a basic-
comparing American english to the British because they has world power so you wont
conclude american own english?
5)reason some part of nigeria speak yoruba
including some part of edo is due to migration
and displacement in search of food and human
relation-the edo only conquered but lack zeal to teach bini language. presently we have edos
in ofigi idah kogi state where i just graduated.
6)the yoruba empire-oyo empire in my
secondary school days why exclude bini
empire?,because we have three major tribes in
nigeria Bini empire conquer most part of nigeria and
present republic of benin with the help of the
Oba.presently edo is scatter in all part of nigeria.
SIMILARITIES
as though much similaraties it a long story
but we believe that the alafin of oyo and his people are our brothers from the same
oranmiyan because oranmiyan came to benin
to to give birth to Eweka 1.He was one who
left benin and returned to Ife. But by the time
he got to ife his father oduduwa or
Ekaladerhan may has died inconclusion if any chief is so envy of oba of benin(may him live
long) back to back from the time we fought
the white and the legend queen mother was a
hit and if you so much desire that title"OBA" so
much COME AND COLLECT IT".stil remain my

OP, just like the Oba of Benin Palace, you are wrong. The word, oba, is not a title for any king in Yorubaland. That is why we talk of Ooni of Ife, not Oba of Ife; Alaafin of Oyo, not Oba of Oyo; Owabokun of Ijesha, not Oba of Ijesha; Soun of Ogbomosho, not Oba of Ogbomosho, etc.

the Edos deal with reality not myth the truth will soon come out

when i was in uniben in 100l
we were given a book to read cram and pass a course gst 112 and 122 the course abut nigerian people and culture.the course is still done in uniben today.it is stated there in the book that a yoruba prince went to benin kingdom got one of their daughter pregnant and that he establish thr benin kingdom with his father as the overall ruler
and he left the town benin becos the people were soo troublesome and mad him angry all the time. so all he always refered to benin kingdom as ile ibinu.that the land of vexation.meaning benin

What do you mean by dysfunctional whitemen version of history? By extension it means we have been given dyfunctional training on Accountancy, Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture etc. You dont have to deny the existing facts to suit yourself.

Lagos (EKO) was established as a WAR CAMP by Oba ORHOGBUA in the 1500's. It was an attempt by Oba Orhogbua to control the present day coastline of Nigeria about 600 years ago. Oba Orhogbua had been trained in Portugal in one of their naval schools. He understood the power of navigation and sea power because , the Portuguese power was based on naval power then. On his assumption to the throne, he organised either independently or with the help of the Portuguese, an expendition to established control over the present day coastline, extending from Togo, the present day Republic of Benin down to the borders of modern Gabon.

1)Before Oduduwa came to Ile-Ife,there were 16 Kings in Ife and some of them had the word 'Oba' as a prefix to their names e.g Obatala,Obalufon etc
2)The Edo word for king is Ogie or Ogiso and they later adopted the title of Oba after Oranmiyan,the son of Oduduwa established his dynasty in Igodomingodo(Benin).It was Oranmiyan that later called the place Ile-Ibinu( later corrupted to Ibini-Bini-Benin) meaning 'Land of vexation' and left the place for his Son,prince Eweka to become the first Oba of Bini
