just leave that guy, he is confused.

ABULARdotCOM:


Why are you being mischievous? Where did you take the screenshot from? And why is your false representation of Sokoto calipate including parts of Yoruba land and other Middle belt minority kingdoms?

At what point in history does your false picture depict? Did you know at some point in history the Dahomey kingdom your picture excluded from Oyo Empire, was a tributary to Oyo itself? And what is parts of Kwara doing in the picture?

And can you provide documented proof of the so called "Aro confederacy" you smuggled into the picture? Thank you in advance.

ABULARdotCOM:


No, he is not comfused, but spreading falsehood! You don't leave people like that alone.

Balogunodua:

Greyboy boy has been retired by TAO11 he is now a politician...

Balogunodua:

The Around Confederacy were villages of 5 huts each scattered round the forest so that makes it hard for the British to wipe them out in a day.

[face palms] I HAVE DONE EXACTLY THAT.

The only thing you have to do is read. [I know the word “read” scares the soul out of you]

See the stu.pid map he spreading about now. Does that look like 5 villages to you? They even had the guts to include Ijaw kingdoms in their rubbish.

Same map added north Central kingdoms to Sokoto calipate! Some people misconstrue the influence Hausa language has in the north with Sokoto calipate.

Sokoto calipate is a Fulani thing, and the spread of Hausa language in Northern Nigeria and other parts of Africa was the work of great Hausa men like Mansa Musa.

Rubbish!

I don't know if you're on Facebook, but if you're, you need to check one of the Ogiamiens named Igbinazaka Ogiesuyi. He's given the Benin revisionists and Ekaladerhan people sleepless nights.

ABULARdotCOM:
Can you guess the age of that Greyboy (or whatever) you are arguing with?

TAO11:
Well, considering how they reason (and how they conduct themselves generally) they must be teenagers — so, somewhere between the ages of 13 and 19 is my best guess.

Those guys are really giving the dull Bini 1970-revisionists a hard time.

I’ve seen some of their YouTube videos. I like how they’ve refused to be bought over and how they have proven to be a true son of the soil.

But the only are where I disagree with them is their insistence that the Oba people should leave and return back home to Ife.

I mean, that would be really hard. No wonder the Oba people have been insisting otherwise.

I will also check out the Facebook video you recommended. Thanks!

Newton85:
I'm not talking about Facebook videos though. I'm talking about his Facebook posts.

[s]Shut the Bleep up, you dimwitted sub-slowpoke! Ekiopagha treaty is about Oba of Benin (the foreigner) paying rent to the Ogiamien, the real owners of Igodomigodo and descendants of the Ogisos. Your Oba is not a descendant of the Ogisos. If he were, "Ogie" would be his title, not Oba. If he were, his praise names wouldn't include "Ikeji Orisha" or "Ovbi Adimula." And no where did I claim that the Ogiamiens were "superior" to the Oba of Benin, you lying clown! I only claimed they are the real descendants of the Ogisos, and that's a fact. Still waiting for you to tell me what the Ekiopagha treaty is all about though.[/s]

The map is actually rather accurate as it represents the political state of Africa in 1880, I just focused on West Africa.

[s]Dahomey Revolt 1823: the Oyo army sent by Oba Alaafin Majotu was categorically wiped out by the forces of King Gezo of Dahomey, thus ending Oyo's hegemony in the region. [b][/b]Alpern, S., 1998. Amazons Of Black Sparta. 2nd ed. [Place of publication not identified]: C. Hurst & Co., p.166.[b][/b][/s]
Therefore by 1880 Dahomey had not been a province of the Oyo kingdom for 57 years.

Kwara was formally part of the Oyo kingdom, until General Afonja rebelled and with the help of the Fulani's and local Muslim populations formed the Ilorin Emirate. Upon its formation power switched to Emir Abdusalami dan Salih Alimi -a Fulani- who's reign saw the IIorin Emirate become a vassal of the Sokoto Caliphate. [/b]Lovejoy, P., 2004. Slavery On The Frontiers Of Islam. 2nd ed. Princeton: Markus Wiener Publishers, p.55.[b]
The vassal state of IIorin continued to expand in the 1830's until it was halted at Ibadan where its borders remained relatively the same until 1897 when it was annexed by the Royal Niger Company.

Aro-Chukwu which lasted from 1690 - 1902 had the largest monopoly on trade (mostly slaves) within eastern/southern Nigeran and parts of west Cameroon. Please note that this was a "confederation" not an empire or kingdom so don't get confused. The map simply shows the area under the influence of the Aro-Chukwu trade monopoly.

Tears, tears and more tears...

If the Ogiamen really leased a land to the Oba, why isn't he brave to show us the boundary of the land leased? Because its a lie

Ikeji orisha don't mean anything in Benin and I don't expect Benin chiefs to speak a word as praise especially when they don't know the meaning

Lastly the Ogiamen are not the descendants of Ogiso...

Keep bringing ur tears... U have not even been able to answer a single question and u allow someone that doesn't even rule his area in sakponba road to be deceiving u

Newton85:


Yeah, "tears tears tears" indeed, yet you're the one reporting me to your to your Nairaland bosses like a lily-livered coward. The irony. Ikeji Orisha doesn't mean anything in Benin, same way Oba doesn't mean anything in Benin, "Ikeji Orisha" is part of the praise names of your Oba, same way Oba is also your King's title. It's also the same way Yoruba deities like Ogun, Osun, Shango, Eshu, Olokun don't mean anything in Benin yet they're worshipped by your people. Bloody coward.

Abovebonny:


I am not "black" I am mixed race of Igbo & English heritage.

I don't know why you people love to over exaggerate Benin's scope of influence.
Perhaps a small minority of independent Igbo villages west of the Niger paid tribute to the Oba's its likely, but the Igbos were not a united entity.
Talk case specific and stop saying Benin ruled everyone and their ancestors abeg
Next you will tell us that the ancient Egyptians also paid tribute...

What Benin Empire?!?!?
It was a kingdom get a grip man.

lack of firepower is no excuse for lack of resistance, Benin folded in 9 days... 9 freaking days
Anglo-Xhosa wars took 100 years to finally conclude.
The Anglo-Ashanti wars lasted for 76 years, ending at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Zulus wiped out the British at Isandlwana, worst defeat by the British at the hands of an inferior foe.
Anglo-Aro war lasted 1 year & yet the majority of Igbos still resisted British conquest.
Ekumeku resistance fought the British for 31 years.

Benin had many warriors but their tactics, superstition and leadership caused their quick demise.
