Benin artwork is not smilar with Ife artwork

Those Ife artworks was not made in Ife point of correction, tho found in Ife but researchers says it wasn't made in Ife, those artworks were purchased by art merchant that came not from Ife but other unknown places to sell to the Ife and ondo people who made use of it


See I am more well read than you're

The Benin artwork is very different from Ife, Benin have artworks and Ife does too
meaning that Ife taught not just Benin art but also igbo ukwu too that also had artworks, that sounds funny stop forcing Benin and Ife connection to grow your history

First Ife artwork was made from about 12 to 13 century Benin artworks started in 15 century 200 years after Ife artworks had gone extinct so who come magically teach Benin, so people cannot mircalously have talent for art and the ruler would help in enhancing it

The techinqes and design are different in both Ife and Benin artworks like you said Ife art is realistic

The usage is purely different Benin was for ointmental and recording keeping, purpose, Ife art was for religious purpose

The chemical materials for the artworks are different from both tribe

Lastly Ife people didn't make their artworks they were purchased from art merchant that may not be from Ife reason why the artworks do not show their cultural identity

Saying Ife thought Benin artwork is like saying Europeans came to teach us how to eat, if one person developed the talent for art in a community which is a free gift from God the oba who appreciate it will find ways to enhance it... Can't that happen, must it come from somewhere


The question is why did Ife not teach her fellow yoruba neighbours close to them the artwork.. Why benin, why benin head burial
Only Benin don't you find all this fishy


Read the previous message on the orun oba ado origin

You said Ife artworks are purchased. From who o? You can add that Benins sold it to them. 😂 See don't disrespect a culture that helped ya culture. It's möronic of you to do that.

You also said Benin artworks aren't similar to Ife artworks. I no blame you maybe you missed art class in school. Pic 1 is Ife art and pic 2 Benin own. Use ya eyes see the truth and erase the lies. In art textbooks, WAEC exam questions etc they always state similarities btw Ife and Benin art. Small time you can blame Awolowo that he n other Yorubas tried to annex Benin. Na good thing them wan do una. But if you all aren't synching no p. Yorubas don't want people that ll be annoying them too.

You said Ife art didn't show yoruba cultural identity. It's obvious the gods has cursed you. One of the most popular Ife artworks is bronze statue of Ooni Obalufon (pic 3). Na Benin man abi? Check pic 4 to see image of a Yoruba woman that looked liked you v seen her before. That's the level of the realism.

Painment that Yorubas are superior to Benin tribe is hurting you, gregboy & other Benin touts here. Continue and those that do it in real life too, make una continue. Na ya history you dey scatter!

I v read about Egharevba. You all should be proud of him cos he has one of your earliest history. Go online, go to Wikipedia etc. Everyone knew Oranyan gave Benin the name as Ile-Ibinu and it was his son that was Eweka. Una fit corrupt am to Emeka o make Igbos drag una taya!
For now, freely download this and enjoy history of Yorubas. You go see where them get their name: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://archive.org/download/historyofyorubas00john/historyofyorubas00john.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwim3YDrr_yCAxVtX0EAHTvyBSkQFnoECAwQAQ&usg=AOvVaw11a0s_-oalDRZwT0denpi8
Lastly, when more facts on Orun Oba Ado gets out, you ll be more perplexed.

Thebadpolitican:


Do you know benin have a strong cultural presence in ekiti and ondo, benin conquered those areas you're half baked in history don't call yourself names you're not entitled to

Ask why ayelala is only found in edo and ondo

As for the olokun it is there in my screenshot it says the worshipers of other orishas in the town of the ondo they are in would come to their house to join his parents who are Benins to watch in amazement the process of olokun worship

This link would also explain the presence of Benins in ondo

This is the link to my screenshot if you insist on reading it whole... You should!
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://edofolks.com/html/pub70.htm&ved=2ahUKEwiV3-eO4PDpAhU6AmMBHaZeCvAQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2O2tdvNLC9WstfBOJD11C3&cshid=1591573439261

Benins and yorubas are almost very different

The way edo state is close to a yoruba state is just thesame way kogi state is also close to a yoruba neighboring state, but yet
Yoruba in kogi state still retain their yoruba Ness so why is that of the Benins different if we were truly yorubas proximity can have a little effect but no a whole effect on a tribe that is entirely different from another tribe

So common sense didn't tell you it was Yoruba influence in Edo that made them not only influence the palace but have people so close to them. Since you v agreed Ogun, Ayelala, Olokun etc are Yoruba boys, no qualms.
Mind you, Benin people dey worship Ogun so don't say you guys are animists. Ogun was one of the oga welders for ancient Yoruba times. He's very talented & was given war Chief title. Anyways am not her to teach you history as a priestess.
My msg to you is clear now. You n gregboy v the right to protect ya heritage but don't do so with lies on another people's own. Me personally wished Yorubas cut ties with Benin cos it's indeed Ile-Ibinu, land of vexation. Naso una take annoy Oranyan that time & that man na hot tempered person.
Peace!

You want to intimidate me? Who gave Lagos its name? Is the word Lagos a Yoruba word? Are you not aware that all the Yoruba settlements carry or bear Yoruba names till date? So how come Yorubas founded Lagos without naming it according to native parlance? Colonial maps were based on crude estimates because the explorers and expeditors remained much at the coasts, so little was known of most areas. They used the people they like to dominate others.

Hello, I ll give you a link to some history of Yorubas. Don't let any pained Benin boy to tell you trash. Actually Benins are pained like Igbos over success of Lagos so they want to claim things that aren't for them. More so, they v been so rude to ab extent that I advise Yorubas to cut ties with them. So that in future they can go separate in their landlock nation. All being said about Yoruba influence on them are extremely true. They lacked facts. They ll say Yoruba words but can't tell it's deep meaning. They are taking advantage of some naive youths to misread and misinterpret everything Yorubas did to Benin. The meaning of Benin is Ile-Ibinu which was name Oranyan gave to them. See names like Adesuwa which is also Adesewa and the syllables are (Ade-su-uwa & Ade-se-ewa). Ogun, Olokun, Oba etc. Words those mofos can't tell it's story. Look at Ife artworks and Benin artworks. In the 15th century, Oba Oguola sent for bronze casters from Ife to reach them bronze sculptures. Yet one mofo here said Ife artworks weren't made by Yorubas but was purchased. It's obvious there are plots to decimate Yorubas. Seems pained tribes are tired of Nigeria. Nevertheless Yorubas ll continue to wax stronger with or without Nigeria.
Pic 1 Ife bronze head.
Pic 2 is Benin bronze.
You ll see Ife own is more realistic.

My screenshot to you says even the Portuguese called it eko, curomo meaning ekonuame the full word the Benin gave to the lagos settlement

The Portuguese had their own name they gave the settlement they likened lagos as one of their city in Portugal called lagos and they nicknames it in their text as lagos interchangeably with the word eko

You, gregboy and other Benin scavengers has been roaming this site spewing tràsh. Your statements are incoherent cos of lies you spill. You ll carry screenshots that even pointed more fact that Yorubas had more influence on Benins. While I reply all ya lies with truth, I ll rough handle you with more facts, logic & common sense posts to show that you are just a strong head boy like Ologbosere, the fetish chief that ill-advised Oba Ovonramwen.
Na that string head dey make you disregard Yoruba history from Benin.
Before you cough, what's the meaning of the word Benin?

gregyboy:
The historian who first came out with such a fallcious statement was our very own benin historian with the name Dr egharevba who had several imaginative writeups in his earliest historical works of friction, at this time the edo people was still in the western region. he wrote against the benin people to promote his carrer in the western region the benin people had found themselves although is father was a benin man his mom too was a yoruba woman from ondo state, he wrote with no authority and was not even close to the palace, his works lack referencing other than just selfish intrest his later works were he corrected most of this notion, was not made circular by the yorubas that took his baseless works serious never the less frank willet a french historian did an excavation on the very orun oba ado site in 1969 hoping to find some truth in what yoruba belive to be an historical site, all nine site the excavation took place in nothing happened to be have found in them ascertain to the earliest work of dr
Egharevba as works of friction

You guys aren't serious.
You all can debunk the genuine history as you liked. But know this & know peace, all of you in Benin ll need Yorubas one day & you ll be disregarded. Lastly, Lagos wasn't founded by Benins. Ashipa that brought Benin influence there and became their first king is an Awori man. His name is a titled chief in Yorubaland and there's no Ashipa title or origin name in Benin. If it's existing, tell us the meaning.
More so, lineage of Ashipa ruling Lagos ended with Kosoko in the 1800s. You mofos should stay clear of Lagos.
When you need Yorubas, you all ll be reminded of how unruly you are after Yoruba culture influenced Benin positively. Names, words, kingship etc.
So all Benin trash can getat!

Read this

The history of oromiyan in Benin was formed and forged in the old western region to intergret the Benins and the oba as yorubas even to the extent of giving him the second position and displacing the alafin who was originally the second after the ooni of Ife although tho the oba of Benin accepted this offer at first but things didn't go as planned the other yoruba monarchs and together with the alafin of oyo was not happy with this new arrangement that the oba of Benin who is second after the ooni of Ife can't even speak yoruba language and so many other complains ensued from there, again the oba of Benin had a fall out with awolowo and other benin political aspirants and as a result pulling out of western region became thinkable and as soon as Midwestern region was created the oba of benin refuted the false history and the yorubas kings fired back and soon after the oba of Benin forged a counter history of ekaladeran and since then the history that started on falsehood became held seriously by many people who are unaware


Read this

The historian who first came out with such a fallcious statement that the oba of Benin heads were being buried in Ife, was a benin historian with the name Dr jacob Egharevba.
Egharevba earliest work is a mix of oral traditions and speculation which he corrected in his later works, however as a matter of fact it's a traditional practice in Benin that kings of the various vassals state, under Benin control would come back to bury the previous king heads in Benin in order to notify the oba that the previous monarchy was dead this journey to Benin can only be carried out by the incoming successor who will stay in Benin for months or years to learn the ways of the Benins before going back to take his father's position as king. however this practice was never a tradition in ile-Ife as no other of the supposed oduduwa sons had a burial site making it suspecious and fallacious from Egharevba who was equipped with the Benin oral history and had mix oral tradition of the Benins with his imagination to forge the orun oba ado tradition which he termed in his book `Ile Ife the final resting place of the oba of Benin' Egharevba had writing with no consultation or whatsoever and was not even close to the palace to begin with, his works lacked referencing other than just pure selfish intrest he could derive from the then watern region the edos where under at that time, Frank Willet a french historian did an excavation on the very orun oba ado site in 1969 hoping to find some truth in what yoruba belive to be an historical site, all nine site the excavation took place was empty and nothing was found in them it is of most importance to note that at the time the supposed myth of oromiyan visit to benin, her name was still called igodomigodo and not yet ado that originated from oba ewaure a long distance predecessor of oba eweka 1

https://www.nairaland.com/7683383/another-reason-why-benin-ife

Answer me this one
provide me Any Evidence Of Benin-ife Connection Prior To 1475 To 1914, written or artefactal wise, Note Europeans documented every aspect of Benin life including food, human scrafice, her civil wars the Europeans ethnograpger visited the Benins palace from their first arrival till the fall of the empire, but how come they didn't see Benin-ife Connection, Benin carrying their dead oba heads to Ife throughout 400years contact with Benins

So you know Ekaladerhan was a forged history. Anyways Orun Oba Ado existed for a reason. In future, there ll still be more evidence of Benin coming out of Ife. Oranyan in Benin isn't a fallacy. Yorubas aren't dragging Benin to be their junior by force. In fact, the two tribes can be separate cos I dislike undue insults am seeing Benins throwing at Yorubas. And na dem go lose pass the day Nigeria splits cos it's a landlocked state.
One of the evidence of Ife-Benin connections can be found in the artworks of Ife bronze and Benin bronze. Leo Frobenius unraveled Ife bronze n terracotta in 1925 in Ile-Ife. The artworks are so similar to Benin art except that Ife artworks were more naturalistic (looking more real). Also, theirs a narration that towards 15th century, Oba Oguola sent for casters from Ife to teach Benin artisans cire perdu. It's so obvious both tribes shared ideas looking at the artworks.
In all, I think the disagreement of Benins in the correlation of their history with Yorubas deals with them trying to be of their own independent nation which is normal.

Make your gov to protect you. It's his duty. Trap those destroying your farms and deal with them legally without giving a hoot about religion or election!
They v committed punishable offenses so Osun people should do the right thing.

Adesuwa is a Benin name it could sound similar we can only draw Conclusion if they have thesame meaning not sound, words sound alike alot

Adesuwa mean road to success or road of success
What does it mean in yoruba?

Yorubas state which is ondo has boundary with edo villages it is normal for some of this idols to be found in Benin some benin villages are bingual benin&igbo, benin&yoruba and Co Benins dont worship idol as much, we are mainly animist. worshipers of the deceased but we have few idols of our own, olokun ayelala and ogun


Benins and igbos share many words too, should we na say Beninz are igbos too

Think

Let's start with this.
What's the meaning of Olokun, Ayelala & Ogun? Shey na Ondo Yorubas teach una again?
Don't you reason that Benin was the most distant to aboriginal Ile-Ife thereby making them the most distant & out of touch? That's why they v similar culture to Ondos. Anyways tell the meaning of those guys above cos you v to tell me where Benin inherited or manufactured them. I m a daughter of fact & history.
Adesuwa means Ade has good character. It can also mean Adesewa. It's originally an Ondo name cos they are the ones that called iwa (character) as uwa. Ade-se-ewa, Ade-su-uwa in syllables. Oya break it down in Benin word.
If Benin's aren't idol worshippers wetin animists dey worship? Anyways that's bone of contention.

ImmortalCrown, this pig called VeryWickedGoat is here.
Lemme help you lynch him here. The word Yoruba is from the name of descendant of biblical Nimrod named Yarub-aq-khatan.
Source is from History of Yorubas by Rev Samuel Johnson written as far as 1921.
Hos tribe isn't writing at that time!
See more below cos his bad thread has been removed.

eagleu:
When Fulanis used to allow History of West Africa to be taught in high schools, we learnt that Yoruba, Nupe are some of the Banza bokwe, or slave state(not original states) unlike Katsina and Kano that were the original Hausa states

Fulanis themselves were the vagabond states. Their history was fallacious!

VeryWickedGoat:


What was Yoruba called before Hausa named them Yoruba?

Aku or Kaaro Oojiire people cos of their mode of greetings. Read below and be sane or I spank you like your mom.

sotall:
Yoruba was used to describe the Oyo people by Hausa traders.

The word "Yoruba " means cunning.

No. Yoruba was the name of a descendant of biblical Nimrod named Yarub-aq-khatan. It means warrior.
The Hausas were first ethnic groups that traded with Yorubas and knew some of their early history. So the name of Yarub-aq-khatan was used to call them cos before, they were known as Aku or Kaaro Oojiire people . Aku is from the word eku which is used in greeting as eku/aku aaro, eku-aku osan, eku/aku ale etc.
Mumu Hausa Fulanis traders that was scammed in the early 1800s were the illiterates that lacked pronunciation and called Yarub as Yoruba.
Moreover it's smart to be cunning. You can't lose guard in this world.
