history2901:
Well, I hate to repeat myself, I already gave a list of Benin influence. Benin never enforced language, therefor that is not felt, except the word "Oba" which means king in all yoruba languages. And once again be carfull to always be precise when you speak. You mey have noticed that each "modern day" yoruba identifies with a real tribe: egba, awori ...
Thereforit is much more likely that the "Yoruba" in Benin republic identify with a real tribe and accept the connotation of being "yoruba".
Sometimes you guys just need to use your brains.

Accepting the connotation of being yoruba. And this now change thier formal language to yoruba language. You will be good in comedy

history2901:
Once again, I am saying that the word yoruba or (y..ariba) is most likely in reference to oyo people. And it has been used in our era to unite a bunch of tribes with a common past (Benin empire).

Now this tribes nw unite trow away the language they spoke before and their culture now adopt the the yoruba language and culture you can be so desperate to make a point the word "tribe" must chattel another meaning in ur dictionary

Oshodi means one who does the odd thing/action

Eti Osa means the edge of the lagoon

I am not sure what Eko means.

Always ask when you are not clear.

Binis ruled Lagos briefly. They never founded it neither were they the indigenous settlers.
Even then, they have lost it to the Yorubas forever.

Wake up!

oshodi is not Lagos, Lagos is quite different from what you think.

Well the kid may be insane (in your opinion), but the kid did prove all his claims, and isn't that all that matters ?
You guys are sounding like that pope who rejected the idea that the earth rotated arround the sun, because to him the earth was inhabitated by the children of God whom God made the center of the universe. So when a scientist would come up with a proof, the pope would have that scientists works burnt down and the scientist would be executed. Because people who live by dogmas are afraid of logical thinking and proofs. they must eliminate those. Broaden your mind ! Have debates with thoe with whom you disagree, listen to their proofs and see if you may just be wrong eventhough you were extremely convinced of your being right.

Best qoute on this tread.

Seun, please start looking into picking meaningful quote, there are lots of reasonable people on this forum.

All I'm clamouring for is for you guys to intensify you quest for Biafra cos we're booting you outta all Nigerian state and the FCT very soon.
Confused animals who insisted of developing Lagos (a Nigerian state) but wants to leave Nigeria, yet, their ever cursed land is filled with craps.

Lagos was initially called Nnwalagos, Lord Luggard changed it to Lagos.
Research now has it that by 2020, the population of Igbo youths will be less than 50 as they would all have been slaughtered in Asian countries as a result of drug offences.
We are awaiting when you will receive your own order to go develop Indonesia. We all will be here to mock your ass.

Just like i told the other Awori guy engaging them from the 3rd page, you will only waste your time arguing with these deluded guys. We know the reality on ground and its gonna be a waste of time arguing with people living in far away South East over our own land. I am from Epe and have stop engaging Igbos about the history of Lagos, when they have their biafra then we will see what happens.

Is that the more reason why you all want to finish all your people with rituals and skull mining.......so as to be less than the Igbo's population of 50.

we all know that coastline and oil producing lands which all belongs to ijaws was ceded yo Yoruba's in the name of ondo state. ESE odo local government and ilaje all belongs to ijaws and this is evident in the name the villages and the people bear. the entire coastline of ondo is made up of only ilaje LGa which is purely ijaw 100%.
what of Ogun? we also know the coastline of Ogun is also inhabited by the ijaws and that is the reason for the militant activities going on their. when ijaw militants attack Lagos they run back to their lands in Ogun creeks. we all know that Lagos belongs to the benins as history and the oba of Lagos testified. Yoruba's historically was not fishers or ocean dwellers. this lands was annexed because of proximity, the population and political influence of Yoruba's. Because yorubas helped the north in the war they were compensated with peoples land.
who will speak for the minority Benin's and ijaws?

Benin pipo ar born warriors we colonized ad lived in almost every state in the western part of nigeria..starting from ondo to lagos..Our warrior ancestors spared osun formerly known as ife "the barren land".We spared it becos the oni begged for his dare life.We had mercy on him becos the binis are merciful and diplomatic in nature.we now levied a tax on him, the Benin tax collectors nick named it "your money or your life" tax..Dats how we spared ife and the oni.. we now crossed over to lagos and seized it from the Aworis,eguns and co.
Una think say na only una Sabi history baaa?Ohk now!lets go there

Are you still asking who will speak for Benin's and Ijaw's
You just spoke for them!

You guys are pathetic. So the north has now been drawn into this. What slowpoke you are!
Just listen to yourself; "The Yoruba help the north in war, so they came down west to chase ijaws and Benin's out of Lagos"... This is the dumbest comment ever on NL.
Dude, you're qualified for a Nobel Laurette in Stupidity.
You outrightly dabble into issue you're very naïve about.
Your nativity knows no bond.
You'll sit down in your cesspit down east and been spewing trash about other tribes.

Little Benin's that is locked up In just Benin and still In a local fight with the Esans over land issue, showed now travel way down to claim Lagos, when the indigenes, Aworis, Eguns, Epe, ijebus are still alive.

Your brain need total formatting.

"Lago is not Yoruba land", Oba Akinolu

Ijaw basically own the water front property, go and see Arogbo Ijaw in Igbokoda.

This one Army enter Ondo today burning houses and killing families, i hope the ijaw in Ondo are safe on their land?

For the last time. Benin and Esan are not in any conflict. We love each other. i really don't understand why these "yoruba" guys just keep making stuff up !

Oxtonguy:
@history2901 Esan and bini aren't collaborating deep down you know the truth superiority context common between the two tribe http://kwekudee-triddownmemorylane..co.ke/2014/09/esan/ishan-people-ancient-warriors_21-html?m=1. And only oyo are yoruba, before colonalization. the other state is a political tin . The political thing is powerful that it change lagos, osun, ogun ekiti and ondo to yoruba people the political thing in Nigeria even reach benin republic and togo. Taking about roman empire there imfluence can be felt on it subject down to language. what benin infleuce?

So you resorted to using a blog as proof for your claim.
Let me put it simple, as an Edo I don't see any difference between Bini and Esan. We have the same leader: Omo n'Oba n'Edo.
We have been together for thousands of years. We are Edo ! It is not possible that we fight each other. Esan are just as involved in Benin history as Bini are ! In our language we barely even use the word Bini, we refer to ourselves as Edo !!!!! You guys should stop trying to become spokespersons for other tribes and other traditions of which you know nothing.

If you are Edo then you can call yourself Bini, Esan... whatsoever I don't care, you are my brother.

How come Oranmiyan was the first ruler of Benin to be called Oba? Was the title specially invented for him by the Benin people?

That guy is ignorant and very arrogant. He knows nothing about Oranmiyan and still arguing with people that knows better than him, even comparing a mighty Yoruba nation with that tiny Benin. Oranmiyan brought the title Oba to Benin, even the new Oba of Benin said same on his coronation. Read it here;





Oba Ewuare II, who explained why he should be regarded as the 40th Oba of Benin contrary to the belief that he is the 39th Oba, said: “There may be some divergent views about the origin of some of our ancestors but there is unanimity in the shared heritage between the people of Benin and Ile-Ife in identifying Oduduwa as a forebear of kingship in parts of Africa and Nigeria of today. “Historians all agreed that Oduduwa sent his son Oranmiyan as requested by elders of Benin to return with them as ruler of their realm. Oranmiyan stayed in Benin, but his stay was short. But by the time he left he had a son known today as Eweka I. Oranmiyan’s time in Benin was however short-lived, he was an Oba. So he was the first Oba after the Ogiso dynasty, he established Obaship in Benin. Therefore the listing of past Obas should start from Oranmiyan. This actually made my late father the 39th Oba of Benin while I am the 40th Oba of Benin.” The new Oba said he will pay due attention to

Guestlander:


If you have no historical knowledge of Oranmiyan then you have no business discussing where the title "Oba" came from.

God bless you.

SIRmanjar:

GOD bless u man..The Aworis ad other indegenes of lagos are not Yorubas but yoruba culture influenced them that's why they speak yoruba.

See them, Aworis are not Yoruba they are probably yeebhoes.

history2901:
All yoruba chiefs, ooni, alake, alafin, even village heads, all of them copied the title from Benin: "Oba".
And yet they won't admit who their senior is.
Even a country in the south-west which used to be called Dahomey changed its name into "Benin-republic".
There must be something great about this Benin that everynody must just copy Benin.

Honestly, you are just disgracing yourself on this thread. Go read about Oranmiyan and you will come back to apologize to the Yorubas you are denigrating on this thread. Yorubas are not your mate in everything.

You guys don't seem to understand English or the basis of a rational discussion.
I don't discuss legends and myths, I only discuss documented HISTORY.
I take things at an accademic level.
You guys are way too backward.

Go to a good university and learn the meaning of the words "HISTORY" and "PREHISTORY". Get some education please.

hundredhunndred:


You are already throwing insult but will cry to the mods when i retaliate. Your Oba of Benin must be a fool for saying Oranmiyan brought the title Oba to Benin. You are ignorant and even showcasing it to the world in 5D, stupidity is truly embeded in your DNA.

I wasn't throwing any insults, I sincerly think that you are not intelligent enough to have a discussion with me and I am only stating that.
I am not surprised by your insults, that is the only way you can act since you lack the necessary intelligence to make a case.
Why should I expect a monkey to act with civility.
