You are the people the North used to dominate Nigeria. Nigeria had 3 regions North Western and Eastern but it was only the West a referendum was held to Divide and Weaken it to stop it's accelerated progress, it was developing faster than France. The politics and betrayals, envy, jealousy of by Benins of Yorubas led to the creation of Mid-west and the Premier Jailed. Unfortunately the North took over the Mid-west oil and under developed it. Why did the minorities of the North not Divide? from Hausa Fulani? Why did the Minorities in the East not divide people like Ijaws and calabars? Today you deny you are not part of the West and you were never part of the East or North. Yorubas know your ancient history that's why Awolowo gave consent for the creation, You are a sub group of Yoruba outcast in history. Yoruba used Mystic power to colonize Benin up until today no body in Benin can mess with the Oba who the whole world know is a Yorubaman from ife. Even he himself admits to this that he is from ife.

1) you are a kid who is very unintelligent.
2) show me proof of the emperor being from ife which was a small village until 1912! Whereas Benin was already an empire in the 1400's
3) the thing is you confuse your yoruba dogma with reality and you try to impose your yoruba fantasies about my people on my people.
You yoruba have no real history, your ancestors migrated from Brazil where they were slaves !
4) your entire fairytale-history revolves around claiming Benin, claiming the Oba of Benin...
5) and you believe you know my history better than me ! Look, you are supposed to learn my history from me ! Not teach me my history ! How fools whom have never set foot on Benin soil believe they know Benin history better than Edos and want to teach it to Edos ? You are deluded. For the last time, we are not yoruba ! Leave us alone !

These crazy yoruba: "our mythologies claims you guys are yoruba, therefore you are yoruba and you must accept"

Just to re-establish the truth, because too much nonsense gets written by tribal biggots on nairaland:

1) ogiso, igodomigodo, oduduwa, orammiyan are fairytales, they were created in littérature by politically motivated revisionists. They belong to the world of the imaginary, not to reality.

2) Benin was an empire and its capital is called Benin city

3) oyo was never an empire, oyo was a small and weak kingdom which got soundly defeated by the fulani.

4) there is no historical relationship between Benin and Ife

5) most of the people who call themselves yoruba today are not actual yoruba, they are either Brazilian slaves, or dahomians, or jebu or oyos (true yoruba) or .... All these groups are unrelated.

That is a big Fat lie Yoruba does not argue about Hausa history or Igbo history or Ijaw history but we argue about you Benins because you are a sub group of Yoruba, you are not separated by ocean or sea with the Yorubas, infact it will take 10minutes to walk from Yorubaland to Benin. in the Benin republic they are speaking Yoruba with Yoruba OBAs, then one Benin kingdom who speaks polluted dialect of yorubadoid language thinks the whole world came from Benin kingdom when his Oba is from Ife.

Let me advice you don't give yourself high BP over Yoruba claim over Benin, the history of Ile-ibinu is in the palace of ile-ife go there you will see 2-3000 yrs history of relationship between Yoruba and Benin. A royal rivalry caused the narrative war between the OBAs because it's a matter of Ego who is superior and who is junior.

During the Civil War it was Yoruba soldiers who took Western Nigeria and destroyed Biafra at Ore, Benin, Warri, Asaba ore which the Boarder of Mid West and West. The Mid-west was captured the people subdued, women, men, girls ran and rushed to the West Yorubaland this is war remember war crimes against deluded Benins were comitted and Biafra soldiers had no mercy. You couldn't run to North or East. The North couldn't have saved you it was the Neighbors Yorubas that mobilize forces and entered Mid-west now Biafra and restored the fallen And captured Benins. If you were in Western Nigeria Biafra would never have captured you just as they couldn't capture the West.

Ghostwon6512:
When a normal person meets you, he asks you about your history, when a yoruba meets you he thinks he knows your history better than you and can teach it to you ...such delusion.

It seems most yoruba need history lessons, they don't even know their history but want to tell other people those people's history.

To yoruba, history is just a propaganda for politics, they don't really care about the truth, they care about creating a perception.

This is why yoruba lie so much, the truth has no value for yoruba and it doesn't matter at all.

I'm tired of talking to you, you just keep repeating your lies and fake reasoning like a broken record.

So now you also claim Ife has a 2300 year record of Benin history:
just one problem though, our ancestors couldn't write or read, writing was brought to our region by Europeans whose first contact with us was in the 1400's. You are just not smart enough to know this. You are a fanatic kid who believes all the lies your yoruba elders have told you. Just tell me what kind of magic made the "yoruba" access written form of language more than 2000 years before it arrived in the region ?

You keep claiming easily debunked stories of "yoruba soldiers liberated Midwest"...who did this to you that your brain seems dead, I know the Nigerian army led by two Edo officers liberated the Midwest, everybody knows it, it is on record, that is a quite recent event, but somehow, you believe you can lie about that.

Your Yorubaland is in Brazil where your ancestors were slaves before they were transported to our land just like the Liberians and Sierra Leonians were transported to where they are today.

Also your reasoning of: "some people in Benin Republic speak yoruba, therefor Benin kingdom is yoruba" just shows how incredibly dumb you are.
Just some information about Benin Republic: Benin Republic changed its name from Dahomey to Benin Republic in the 1970's, it copied our name, not the reverse, also why did nobody copy the name of Ife ? Why copy the name of Benin whereas the so called yoruba are much closer to Benin Republic ?
Historical parasites trying to devour Benin history, that is what you are.

I'm telling you about Yoruba Africa history you are showing an old European world map. Do you think the current world map is accurate? You were colonize and created on those maps. The days I speak there were no maps or ink or paper. The days of the gods there were no Europeans or slave trading. Note this are histories of 4000_3000yrs. Benin itself is a Yoruba word. It was corrupted by Portuguese. Anyway no one is claiming you just telling you history at our disposal. There is nothing desirable about Benin to want to be associated with or claim is it cultism, prostitution and other vices are what Benin are known for, what Yoruba just keep telling you people is always watch your backs when fighting the Yorubas so you don't destroy yourselves because your Geography in Nigeria defines you as Yoruba Territory. If Nigeria is to be Hausa Igbo and Yoruba.

Actually those maps predate colonisation.
You are a total ignoramus, you know nothing you talk about.
I don't believe you have finished secondary school, you know absolutely nothing, yet you are seeking to spread your thoughts which are nothing but ignorance.

You actually don't understand what the word "history" stands for, you are telling stories, not history. History is based on eyewitness written records, all you say is based on nothing. Just empty fairytales.

To discuss history, you need to quote documents like the maps which I shared. It seems I am giving yet an other deluded yoruba a free quality lecture in history.

Also the fact you think "an old European world maps" is irrelevant to history shows your stupidity, you think it is new documents which better describe the past ?
Are you 12 years old ?
So someone born 200 years from now would be better suited to talk about your life experience than you ?

Those were slave trade route and who told you Yorubas were thought how to read and write by the Europeans? Are you deluded or what? So it was Europeans that thought Yorubas bronze and iron casting? Ok history started from 1800? You lack native history, Yoruba had been existing and had their own civilization before Europeans came here indace when Europeans came to Yorubaland they were shocked by the knowledge and development of the Yorubas and this over 5000yrs ago. Go to IFE, go and study at Obafemi Awolowo university and learn history

1)You clearly don't see the difference between having a past and having history.
2) everything on this world and beyond has a past ! But not everything has a history !
3) again, history is about eyewitness written records, which yoruba don't have (except slavery in Brazil) ! But Benin does have that of an empire.
4) so you believe, yoruba had a written language of their own ? Your stupidity is beyond what I thought.
5) why do you just keep making assumptions ? The maps which I posted have nothing to do with slavery and your claim is totally irrelevant to the discussion anyways.
6) you just keep making bigger and bigger claims backed by nothing but your mouth, now the 5000 years claim...is this just ignorance, stupidity, delusion or just compulsive lying ? I really wonder:

Egypt has the longest history in the world (around 5000 years), europe's history is around 2000 years, Chinese history is around 3000 years, but I guess yoruba somehow have a tie with Egypt...funny how the rest of the world missed this and only yoruba know about it. Yoruba delusions of grandeur are just amazing.

When the gods have decided to curse somebody, they first make him mad.

How a kid would just wake up one morning and declare he know everything better than everyone is beyond me. Especially if the kid knows almost nothing.

Your education is a waste so you thought history started from the Europeans and Egyptian. You definitely know nothing about how the present world came to be. You think 5000 yrs ago Egyptians and Chinese were existing then the Black man Yoruba were not. Your education brainwashed you. Benin is a colony of the Yorubas hope you don't mistake Benin Edo state for Benin empire it would be like comparing Benin republic to Benin Edo state now ask yourself what's the relationship between Benin republic and Edo state, do you speak Benin in Benin republic? Or Yoruba? The Word Benin is a Yoruba word, Oba is a Yoruba word, Benin Oba is a Yoruba Oba this is even recognized by the British during Independence .
Also Yoruba had their own written language before the Europeans came, there is a lot of history predating the Europeans there was a time the Africans ruled as kings of Europe for over 700yrs. You only know European history, Europe only got ahead of Africans after discovering the Steam Engine and physics which is recent 300-400yrs ago

You have no logic, no knowledge of history and you don't even understand the very concept of history.

You wouldn't even qualify to be a pupil of a student of mine.
Keep repeating yoruba fanataisy about Benin even after it is proven false in front of your underperforming brain.

Deadlytruth:


You obviously don't know anything about history. Biafra forces were chased out of the Midwest by the Northerners dominated Nigerian Army who were earlier on deployed to the Midwest by the trio of Tafawa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Akintola to wallop the Western Region and decapitate AG after imprisoning Awolowo. Haven't you ever heard that shortly before the war broke out Awolowo was impressing it upon Gowon to order Northern origin soldiers out of the Western Region?


You are speaking like an ignoramus. Not every Edo State person is from Benin and Benin is not synonymous with the entire Edo State. Get yourself educated about this and stop the self embarrassment. Awolowo was jailed for treason by the collusion of your own brothers Akintola and Faani Power with Ahmadu Bello, Azikiwe and Tafawa Balewa. No Edo State person had a hand in it. In fact Anthony Enahoro, an Edo man, was jailed alongside with Awolowo due to his solidarity with Awo, so stop talking thrash. All that you Yorubas suffered in the hands of Zik was due to your own decision to hobnob with Igbos' by way of allowing them get into political positions in your own region thinking you were fostering unity in the South. You were warned but you never listened. A Yoruba man, Herbert Macaulay, founded NCNC and handed it over to Azikiwe an Igbo man,' thinking he was cementing Southern unity only for Azikiwe and Igbos' to hijack it completely for themselves, use it to form alliance with the NPC of Hausafulanis and started using the alliance to fight against you Yorubas. How was that the fault of Edo people? In fact when Awolowo was to proceed to the center, his personal choice was to hand over the AG to Enahoro, an Edo man who had been very loyal to him, but Afenifere refused and mounted pressure on Awolowo to hand it over to Akintola who was already showing signs of disloyalty to the party and Western Region interest in general. Enahoro and Edo people calmly accepted that wrong decision by Afenifere and Enahoro continued to be loyal to the party despite that glaring injustice. Even when Akintola later commenced his madness and treachery in full force, Enahoro didn't come out to start mocking Afenifere, rather he continued to battle for the salvation of the party to the extent of being jailed alongside with Awolowo. Wasn't it the Mbadiwe and other Igbos' whom you all voted into the Western Region Assembly through the NCNC that ended up disrupting every attempt to impeach Akintola when Akintola became a threat to Yoruba interest? Was Mbadiwe an Edo person? Have you people learnt any lessons from that? Didn't you still vote Igbo men and women into Lagos House of Assembly recently despite how much Igbos' hate you Yorubas and always work for your downfall? Have you Yorubas ever voted an Edo person into Lagos House of Assembly? Tinubu has appointed a lot of Igbos'as cabinet members in Lagos yet Igbos' insult him and hate him but reasonable Edos who are in the majority have never insulted him or the entire Yoruba race despite Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and even Sanwolu never appointed an Edo man a commissioner in gratitude for Enahoro's standing by Awolowo through thick and thin. So what exactly are you saying? If Edo people broke away from Awolowo to align with Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello as you claim, then how come Enahoro the foremost Edo political leader of those times was jailed alongside with Awolowo? You must be a kid. Enahoro actually resigned as Editor of Zik's newspaper, The Pilot, and also resigned his membership of Zik's NCNC to join Awolowo's Action Group when Zik betrayed him in 1948 over an anti-colonialism symposium. Go and study history deeply and stop listening to beer parlour gists. The agitation for the creation of Midwest Region predated the Western Region crisis and was championed by Akenzua beginning from far before independence hence it didn't really have much to do with the issue between Awolowo and Azikiwe with his Northern friends. Even Awolowo himself wasn't against the creation of Midwest, and as the foremost federalist in the entire Africa, he made it clear that the minorities must be allowed to have their own regions. His only grouse was with the hypocrisy of Zik and Ahmadu Bello who wanted the minorities of the West have their own region while resisting same for the Eastern and Northern minorities. Awolowo himself gave his consent right from prison for the creation of Midwest, so stop saying what you don't know.

Who and who in Edo ran back to the West during the war? You delude yourself. You lost parts of Yoruba land (i.e. the Okun and Illorin areas) to the North far before Nigeria ever came into existence. Even when Awolowo was trying to get those places back into the Western Region it was the Azikiwe whom Herbert Macaulay and other Yorubas gave prominence to in Yoruba land that played the spoiler role against Awolowo. I guess Azikiwe was an Edo man, right?
You people promoted Azikiwe among you and he later used the influence he got from it to fight and harm you to please Northerners and the British but you turn around and blame Edo?
What you don't know is that the Nigerian Army was mostly dominated by Hausafulanis, Igbos and Yorubas and Edo was helpless because they had less than 5 officers in it unlike the Wazobia tribes who had hundreds and thousands of their men in it due to quota system. If Edo people had had as much as any of the Wazobia tribes, do you think either side of the war would have ventured foot into the Midwest and left there alive?
Could any other tribe mess with Edo people in the pre-colonial era when each had its own sovereign army and kingdom?

Your enemies are the Igbos' whom you keep sacrificing for despite they hate you and call you all sorts of despicable names. Look around Nairaland and you'll see some Yoruba monickers supporting the threats of Igbos' that presidency must be their turn or else. Some would say for equity and fairness, it should go to the very East which threw equity and fairness to vote for the very Obasanjo whom they knew you Yoruboids didn't want hence just to spite you. They voted against your Abiola and colluded with Abacha to deny him inauguration but they turn around today to talk of equity and fairness and some of you Yorubas join them to chorus it as if you have forgotten what you passed through in their hands when Azikiwe was governor general and also when Ironsi was Military ruler. Igbos' have taken over Ojo, Ajeromi-Ifelodun and other LGAs in Lagos completely. They have been terming Lagos a non man's land since before independence and till now. They insult you with claims of developing Lagos and that you Yorubas sell your lands to them and later become their tenants yet you vote them into Lagos House of Assembly and appoint them as commissioners but you leave all that and start chasing after Edo State which is very far away from you and whose people don't call Lagos a no man's land despite they even have a historical stake in Lagos. You obviously don't know your real enemies and it is a pity.

During the parliamentary proceedings of the Old Western Region before the creation of Midwest, the Awujale who was the chief whip would begin by formally greeting the Ooni of Ife, Alafin of Oyo, Deji of Akure, and declare that he had saluted all the Yoruba monarchs and then proceed to sit down without saluting any of the monarch from the future Midwest areas. This means he didn't recognize any of them, be it Oba of Beninz Olu of Warri, Dein of Agbor, Otaru of Auchi, Onogie of Ekpoma, the Urhobo and Isoko Monarchs as Yorubas. To this, none of these unsaluted monarchs would object because they knew they weren't really Yorubas. I guess you now know more than Awujale himself who correctly didn't recognize them as Yorubas, right?

I couldn't agree more with you, even as a Yoruba man myself, thanks for schooling that ignoramus Jagunlabiodua. He must be one of those gullible Yorubas I've always spoke about, who see Igbos as their friends despite glaring evidence to the contrary. My people are are obviously under a spell(for the lack of words) because I can't fathom why anyone would continue playing the big brother role to someone who despise you, and doesn't hide it, yet you keep extending hands of fellowship. One of these foolish Yorubas even went as far as starting a GoFundMe campaign for Peter Obi, and I asked myself, who bewitched us? Will we ever learn lessons? Why are Yorubas so carefree and nonchalant to see that Igbos are our number one enemies? I worked with men from the SE for many years in the same office and I can say it without mincing words that the hate transcends just nairaland or online trolling as some kids would make us believe. An Igbo man will become governor of Lagos State one day with the way Yorubas have been sleeping on the bicycle, I really hope we retrace our steps soon but I doubt it because most of my kinsmen just have eyes but cannot see.

I have been emphasizing that if, by design or by accident, an Igbo man succeeds Buhari, that is when some of these shortsighted and shallow thinking Yorubas you described above will understand that Igbos don't really hate Hausafulanis as they currently pretend to, and the Igbo president will never use state power to fight Hausafulanis despite all their present cries and allegations of misgovernance and marginalization against Fulanis. Rather it is Yorubas they will use that state power to fight and pull down to total irrelevance. If Zik could use the little power he had as Ceremonial head of government to instigate Ahmadu Bello to so pummel Yorubas to the extent of not minding seeing Awolowo rot away in jail, then one can only imagine how terrible it will be fior Yorubas if an Igbo man gets hold of raw executive state power. The problem actually is that most of these indomie generation Yoruba youths know nothing about pre-independence and First Republic political history. Same with our Edo youths of age 35 down. The latter are even worse as they don't read at all but see everything in Nigerian politics from the narrow tube of the Jonathan's self inflicted 2015 defeat.

Igbo will and can never rule over Yorubas it will never happen. The only thing Igbo want to use power for is to opress the Yorubas, take Lagos, install their governor, wishful dreams, The Edo's are part of those sabotaging Yorubas in Nigeria. They are trival and not strategic but I feel Buhari has opened everyone's eyes now. The Benin guy contesting history with me is a school pupil. Simple question he can't answer do they speak Yoruba or Edo in Benin republic. Benin does not start and end in Edo state.
