AHCB:
Oh come off it men. Ease off a bit, will you. so, free from Esan and Bini are you from?

trustyshoess:

Oh so you're done throwing a tantrum over being unfollowed?

AHCB:
lmfao. Take a chill pill, girlie. If I threw a tantrum, believe me you'd know and you'd definitely feel it.

Anyway, it's nice knowing you. Cheerio.

I'm an Edo man, but I'm not a royalist. That's exactly how I would handle it if it happens to me. He won't get her and I will embarrass him. Everyone deserves to have their rights respected. To the oba, his rights; to my daughter, her rights.

trustyshoess:

You're the one getting worked up over a simple question!
Cheerio

lalanice:
issorite sire.

atleast I know some Nigerians who make mouth until shii actually goes down.

AHCB:
Oh yeah. Tell me about it. Seems you want to get back at me for hitting you below the belt.

JuanDeDios:

You don't get it. You think that once someone perceived to be "powerful" encroaches on your right and decides to carry you away you should just fold your arms because this is Nigeria. Ok. Carry go.

trustyshoess:

Well I won't stoop down to your level. What i want is to get you off my back. What's the problem though I wonder. Can't you just leave me alone, ignore my "crappy" posts and bother some other unfortunate person huh?

AHCB:
Urg, WTF? Who's talking about level here?

Sorry girlie, I don't do teen drama.

Cheerio.

lalanice:
no... I think you don't get it.

maybe u think they'd send ppl to come and drag the girl from your hand like old times.

laudate:

The person who called you "daft" the other time, was so right!!

meforyou1:
respect your big brothers. Binis own lagos. 1st oba of lagos was a bini man

bright007:
All these bloody afonja are here displaying their frustration .

Because they have no respect for constituted authority and elders, they are busy insulting a king higher in power and authority than their own.

meforyou1:
God bless you my sister. A prominent lagos indigene, Chief Layi Ajayi said it in clear unambiguous terms that lagos belongs to binis. He said it clearly that lagos is not yorubaland. And lagos is not part of south west

Alariiwo:
Binis can lay claim to Onitsha not Lagos.

In Lagos, we have Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Badagry, Surulere and more areas like Ikeja, Ayobo etc. added later.
Binis only held one part which was Lagos Island. Times have changed you hear?

Omo igbo go home and master your boundaries, stop acting like a monitoring spirit of Yorubas

I thought this delusion ended with the flatees...I ve not the faintest idea they ve got peeps who are more delusional than them...hahahaha guy wake up day don break na.

laudate:



Since IPOB-Igbo rascals like you lot, have decided to start carrying Bini-Yoruba matters on your heads..... here take these tablets of panadol for your headaches. If symptoms persist after 3 days, consult a psychiatrist and not a doctor.


I don talk say I no go laugh today, but.....

laudate:

Don't be fooled. It is still the IPOB-Igbo youths that are making the provocative, demeaning comments on this thread, trying to knock the heads of two ethnic groups together....who else?

meforyou1:
are igbos binis? Or is the prominent lagos indigine, chief layi that says that lagos belongs to binis, an igboman?

meforyou1:
meforyou1 is an afonja coward. After gani adams the carpentar, it is you meforyou1 the bricklayer that will become the next army commander of the ineffectual yoruba army. The next aare kakanfo of osogboland

meforyou1:
oba oranmiyan was buried in benin. U reversionist

dukie25:
Seems present Oba is a member of APC, his father was apolitical.
The saying "Oba no dey go transfer" is now just a saying.
This Oba is denigrating and demystifying the revered stool.
Oba Akenzua would be turning in his grave.

babaolofin:


Thanks. Nairaland historian. I believed you reviewed the book written by the late Oba of Benin in 2004.Funny people are on social media.
No serious person ever believed what has been recorded over 800 years ago with physical sites
& proofs to be changed by an history in 2004 without any detail research & proof but only recourse to ancestor for revelation. Oranmiyan staff at Ife would be transferred to Benin. Alaafin of Oyo & Osile of Oke-Ona Egba whose ancestor was Oranmiyan will come to nairaland to read 2017 history an update to the 2004 books written by late Oba of Benin. As for me & other royal blood in Yoruba land we believed in our centuries old history except Ife is no longer first home of IFA oracle in this world & Araba Agbaye (IFA chief priest world wide) will no longer be at Ife.

laudate:

Are you Layi Ajayi-Bembe's megaphone? Did he employ you, to advertise his philosophy? Didn't Zik say that Onitsha was established by a Bini man? Why don't you announce that one loudly too? Let everyone know that Onitsha belongs to the Bini, while Asaba and parts of Nsukka belongs to the Igala!

dictbennie:
I thought they said the Oba doesn't leave his palace?

step1:
so oba can leave his palace . too many lies with this edo history

Alariiwo:
Bini people and jealousy.

Their Oba don dey jealous Ooni that ascended the throne of his forefathers Oduduwa.

If not for civilization, Binis should be paying homage/tithes to Yorubas as per big brother wey we be to them.

historyworld030:
An other example of a citizen of a zoo. First of all, you seem to be unable to understand that Benin Kingdom and Benin city are two different things. Benin City was the capital of Benin Kingdom. The ruler of Benin Kingdom is the Omo n'Oba n'Edo. Lagos was part of Benin Kingdom and so was Onitcha. Claiming that Onitsha belongs to the "Binis" is like claiming that the south of france belongs to the inhabitants of paris.
Instead of understanding that it is the same people whom leave in Benin City, Onitcha and Lagos, you people have described the situation in the stupidest way possible.

historyworld030:

"Recorded 800 years ago" ? By whom ? There was no such thing as yoruba 200 years ago ! And your ancestors didn't have a written language !

babaolofin:


Young boy, only yahoo boys don't bother to carry out deep thinking & intellectual analysis of serious issues. So all your Edo history of 1400 & 1500 are thrash? So your history professor did not teach you that Ife Head which was unearthed 1938 & taken to museum abroad when scrutinized at the museum laboratory was found to be between 1300 or 1400 century. Also Benin work of arts that were taken abroad were to be between 1440 & 1897 during the empire. This shows that there were intellectual properties made by highly intelligent people of those era. Amalgamation of Nigeria in 1908 is more than 100yrs and whites have been to Africa decades before that. Where did you get your 200 yrs history of Yoruba non existence or history not recorded. We cannot leave social media for yahoo boys & noise makers alone. We know they bring traffic for blog owners but very few people want knowledge.

historyworld030:
First of all the amalgamation was in 1914 and not 1908.
You don't have any knowledge about history, you don't even know the meaning of the word.
I am not sure of the dating which you gave of the ife head and it is totally irrelevent.
Nobody knows the people which actually prodused the ife heads. My guess would be the Edos given that they were the only people whose palace was found decorated with advanced Bronz casting.
Also the finding of those heads doesn't imply the existance of the yoruba people in the period in which the heads were made.
After taking a look at precolonial maps, it is easy to notice that nobody was refered to as yoruba around 200 years ago.
You are the "yahoo historian". Besides don't be a fool, you do not know my age. I'm 30.

babaolofin:


Thanks for noticing the amalgamation date which Jonathan celebrated his centenary anniversary in 2014 it was not intentional, 1908 has a colonial history as well. Your age reveals you. Ife head was buried in Ife by Benin. In the nearest future, your ancestor or rulers or historian will claim Ifa migrated to Ife from Benin. I know have learnt something.
