coldiz: Can you even compete with Ijebus in all aspects of life I'm not even comparing Edo to Yoruba, that's disrespectful - let's compare Edo to Ijebu lol... We will colonise Edo state, if we really want to... Edo is irrelevant!! |

shymmex: [/s] Oh this dude is comical as f2k. I ask again since when did Obiagu have the ability to speak Yoruba? Did he magically learn the language in months or wetin? I asked you a question pertain that link provided by you or did you miss it? By the way, if he used his original id to ask the first question why wouldn't he just use it again to ask that same question since he has nothing to fear as supported by his action the first time. ROFLMFAO. So he went and learned a new language in remarkably months just to pretend to be yoruba or just to embarrass una with this thread. I laugh die. Dude you are hilarious. |

Thank you, That is why I decided to leave this thread. There is no point for the outburst really, I have a saying What would be would be. I also apologise to the Igbos and anyother person that felt insulted on behalf of me and other yorubas here. |

shymmex: [/s] You are still not answering my question. Obiagu yoruba, when did he learn it? how did he do such an impossible task of learning how to speak and write in a separate from his language in just few months. Biko answer second question By the way, if he used his original id to ask the first question why wouldn't he just use it again to ask that same question since he has nothing to fear as supported by his action the first time. ROFLMFAO. So he went and learned a new language in remarkably months just to pretend to be yoruba or just to embarrass una with this thread. The answer to your question: Obiagu started the thread, now answer my question pertaining to your accusation to him. This is too comical. Anyway dude, you ain't even have to answer. I just wanted to laugh and you gave it to me. |

The annoying thing is, in a few months time or maybe a year this same kind of topic will be repeated except perhaps in a different form and people on both sides may go to such extremes that I can never easily recuse myself from commenting on the topic. Anyway, I think I'll retire permanently from commenting on this type of topic. |
Re: Do Edo (Bini) People See Themselves As Yorubas? by OneNaira6: 6:29pm On May 27, 2012 |
shymmex: [/s]Dude you are too funny. Because an Igbo person speaks yoruba, according to you that means every-other Igbo should also be able to speak Yoruba. LOL so ,following that line, it should imply onila, onlytruth, odumchi, ejine, etc including I should be able to speak Yoruba. Dude you are funny. I am aware he cannot speak, the same way I know onlytruth, onila, etc cannot speak Yoruba nor Hausa nor ibibio, etc. The words are never used in their conversation pattern, etc. Anyway dude I told you you didn't need to answer. Though I started out seriously but your lack of words sortof showed a comedian aspect therefore I clinged on to it. You do not need to keep digging yourself into the hole anymore. I careless about the answer anyway |

PhysicsQED: Everyone in Nigeria is God's gift to Nigeria - but that doesn't negate the fact that edo history overrated.. You guys need to stop including us among the people you conquered, Ijebus are proud people.. We don't even respect the Oba of Lagos, his kingdom starts and end on Lagos Island... Awujale is our King - and Oniru is more important to us than the Oba of Lagos. I don't talk bad about Bini till you guys start mouthing off about people you never lorded over... I don't hate any Nigerian group - but you guys need to stop disrespecting my own group, period. |

Re: Do Edo (Bini) People See Themselves As Yorubas? by PhysicsQED(m): 7:43pm On May 27, 2012 |
Shymmex, if you really think what you wrote was a totally reasonable or not emotionally compromised reaction to what I wrote about Ijebu and Benin and that it doesn't suggest some kind of grudge, then fine, but I can't say that I agree. Just for the record, you, and not I, brought up the issue of conquest of Ijebu in that other thread. I never brought it up because I never made it a point on this forum to specifically focus too much or dwell too long on the conquest aspect of Benin's history, although I know that there are other Edo posters that may dwell on or over-emphasize that to the annoyance of other people. When you asked about Ijebu and Benin it did not read like you had that much emotional investment in what the answer was, so I gave you an honest answer. There are many things I am unsure of in this world, but what I wrote in answering your question is not really one of them. It was not about disrespecting your group or 'mouthing off', but just a straightforward answer about some of the sources (there are others) in which to seek information that would resolve your question. I hope it's clear that my response was not due to disrespect for your group or others. Once again, see you later. |

shymmex: An observation @shymmex. For someone who professes broad-mindedness - no doubt acquired through much study and experience - elsewhere on these boards (https://www.nairaland.com/908378/survey-nigerians-most-educated-u.s/5#10546349, you do yourself a serious disservice by drawing on an ethnocentric card every so often. Why do you get riled so easily and resort to throwing toys out of the pram with such alarming frequency? I have seen you start discussion-threads geared to elevating the debate about the way forward, where you often provide pretty sound analysis - at least to begin with. But it must also be said that you always default to the lowest common denominator, allowing inconsistencies and double-speak to hold sway, at a particular prompt. Why? What is the mission, bro? Each generation must, out of relative obscurity, discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it ~ Frantz Fanon |

Bini ok its just that the edo people are fewer in population than the yorubas and the yorubas are more educated that's wgy they been turning the story round haba Well yoruba and igalas have the same resemblance of language ok I think I will start a thread bout this |
Re: Do Edo (Bini) People See Themselves As Yorubas? by Obiagu1(m): 12:59am On May 28, 2012 |
shymmex: It's funny how threads like this about Yoruba are created by igbo posters (obiagu1) - and most of the clowns who troll, and post dumb comments on the same thread are igbos... You guys are inbred with tribalism, and hatred for Yoruba people.. Abeg, don't link me with this thread with silly title. How would someone ask such a silly question: Do Edo people see themselves as Yorubas? That's pretty dumb! In addition, I don't speak Yoruba and I don't use multiply monikers. I despise people like you and Alh Harem that have multiple monikers. It's pretty much a character disorder; you can't be 2 or more different persons at the same time to make a point. If I have to comment or create a post, I do so being me and will defend my position with logic. I don't have character disorder like you. |

UncleJJ: Truth be told, this is just another conspiracy by the Yoruba people to dominate anything or anyone they can. Yes, Edo and Yoruba share some history but its not enough to say the Edo come from the Yoruba's , even though this is what i was taught in the past. Bt, as we all know - back then the Yoruba "dominated" the education sector and it would have been easy for them to bury the truth. SMH!

Hmmm. . .it's really only on NL that I've heard about any Edo or Edoid people perceiving Yorubas as being cowards and backstabbers/betrayers, but I guess I can only speak for and vouch for the people I've come into immediate contact with. Other people will doubtless have their own differing views, though I'd prefer it if they didn't pretend like they were speaking for entire groups when expressing their own views and opinions. 1 Like |
