Because all the other tribes in Nigeria actively work against the Igbo to suppress their entrepreneurial spirit and destroy they businesses or continue to punish them for the Biafran war that happened when majority of Igbo today were not even alive! Look at Lagos state always destroying Igbo houses and knocking down their market to sell it to China. Name any English speaking countries besides Ghana and South Africa that treat Igbos like sub-human beings? They thrive in the West, they are not stopped from engaging in their exporting and importing businesses. In Lagos they were beaten and prevented from registering to vote, they were beaten and their votes stolen and destroyed at gun point when the hey were able to vote on election day. The Igbo love Nigeria, they love doing business in Nigeria especially in places where they are hated the most for reasons I struggle to understand. If the Yoruba and Hausa tribes as a collective start treating the Igbo fairly. Majority of them will never leave Nigeria for more than business trips. Foreign countries now seek to keep them to themselves as assets and valuable Human Resources and they monitor Igbo children who perform well in school right from primary school in Europe. In the UK they are the best. Let us unite and one indivisible and diverse people of Nigeria that can not be manipulated to work against each other bu our despicable leaders who are corrupt, unpatriotic and incompetent. One Nigeria for all Nigerians.

The Binis wear wrappers like ancient Egyptians. They came from the Egypt and settled with people who were already there thousands of years before the mega lake Chad started to dry up. That started 8,000 years ago and they maintained contact for a while before being cut off or they choose to cut themselves off as our ancestors preferred the jungle. Look at the design of ancient Bini city? The jungle was encouraged to grow around the city walls. Conservative and care for environment. It would take Europeans 2500 years to become that advanced to understand global warming and the planting of trees to protect the environment. The Binis came with prio knowledge. Do a random samples dna tests of edo and delta state people choose 50 from each village and cities and the blood will settle your lack of knowledge. Quoting propaganda written materials without any historical facts or even a single Bini bronze to support the following works of fiction that you mentioned. I did a dna test to verify the history my father thought me before I even left primary school. He said we are so old as a people we once shared our lands with black giants. There is a story of Oba Ozoluwa wiping off the last of the 15 to 30 feet tall giants. In ancient Egypt temples still have pictures of giants taller than giraffes � doing their daily chores along side normal sized humans when the region was jungle and savanna before the desert forced our direct ancestors to abandon ancient Egypt leaving now it in the hands of other members of our families left behind. What is in the Yoruba blood if you did dna tests? Possible links that both you and the Igbos were once one people who lived in the lands that became Nigeria 25,000 years ago making the Igbos even older than the Yoruba. What legendary civilisations of man would your blood reveal? Except if you were privileged to have had Bini blood injected into it a thousand years ago or lesser before the white men came. The Yoruba were never strong enough to conquer tiny Dahomey (Benin republic) which was part of the Bini empire ruled by Bini people at one point who enjoy enslaving Yoruba people repeatedly. How come you rule over Bini? Is that madness or genetic stupidity? Is it contagious?

TAO12:

The earliest traditions of Binis themselves concerning the origin of the Ogiso monarchy (prior to your 21st century laughable sourceless revision) goes thus:

“Many, many years ago, Odua (Oduduwa) of Uhe (Ile-Ife) the father and the progenitor of the Yoruba kings sent his eldest son Obagodo who took the title of Ogiso with a large retinue all the way from Uhe to found a Kingdom in this part of the world.”

Chief J.U. Egharevba, “A Short History of Benin,” (1936), p.7.

What conclusions have the leading authorities on pre-colonial Benin reached with respect to this origin tradition of the Ogiso monarchy?

Having combed through & scrutinized the early Benin traditions of origins of the Ogiso monarchy, scholars have reached the following conclusion (on the basis of anthropological field work on Benin and the Edos):

“The third Ogiso became the last in their Yoruba, Ife line. He returned to Ife, but by that time the very institution of the supreme supra-chiefdom ruler had already been established firmly enough in Benin.”

D. M. Bondarenko and P. M. Roese, “Ancient Benin: Where Did the First Monarchs Come From?,” (2001), p.10.

In essence, you and your co-revisionsists without any source whatsoever are unfortunately inconsequential.

Peace!

There was no time when it was mentioned in early Bini history that they were initiated or influenced by Ile Ife. In reality Ile Ife did not even exist as a village in the time of Sacred Eweka the first warrior god king of Bini. The British destroyed a capital of an empire and realised that the people of that empire survived their genocide and have many little kingdoms and chiefdoms that originated from Bini and the Bini would live in them forever so they distorted reality by saying an advanced ancient civilisation came from a very young one. But they stole over 1.5 million Bini art works and bronzes they couldn’t destroy because they were so advanced that the ancestors of white people lacked the knowledge and skills to make them. They are all hidden in museum votes. They document the History of Bini and everyone of them tells a story. The closets they came to mentioning the Yoruba would be that part of Yoruba land belongs to the Bini empire including their kings like the Deji of Akure. It’s these people the OYIBO’s used to destroy Bini history but they failed 100 percent. Just because you ignorant people talk rubbish on here does not make it history. Go write a book about it and see how the credibility of that book would be tarnished in minutes as a work of fiction. Fiction (what you guys talk here about Bini) is different from historical facts and stop quoting the last 300 years history. The current Bini Oba is a direct descendant of a family that has ruled Bini since before Jesus Christ was born. And his family is the second dynasty of Bini which even goes back before the days when the people that became Binis were ruled in Greek style democracy. That is an advanced political system of government by a United people who has an identity even before Eweka decided to kick all their butts and forced their evolution into an empire for easier administration. How old is Ile Ife and the Yorubas and at what point did the Yoruba reach a cultural evolution whereby they had a traditional political identity? After Oduduwa who was never a Yoruba Nan but an Arab or Bini man according to your history? So how can Oduduwa and his bloodline take civilisation back to the very civilisation that produced in him the first place? Given the fact that he became the paramount or dominant king of Yoruba land having dominion over Yoruba land and the Yoruba people and giving his children or grandchildren crowns at will to go and rule over the Yorubas who were way too weak militarily to challenge or disobey him. This was simply because they Yorubas were not that advanced before he came to then with some sort of army apparently. Only Bini women favoured by their Oba can have an army large enough to be given to their son as a gift can afford that in that time line. It takes wealth and great resources to just provide for such a military even today let alone just gift them to someone. It’s like giving part of the Nigerian army and it’s equipment to someone and saying keep this forever, go and kick butt somewhere else. Live and not die and have dominion. How can you now say that person now came back and brought civilisation to Nigeria? Did your mothers drop you guys on the head as babies? I hope I have put this stupid argument to bed? It’s become irritating at the lack of analytical and logical reasoning or intelligence of people who want to put a stamp on history without thinking about the holes in their story. The Yoruba collective is not half as advanced as bibi. No where in Yoruba land was a city built that was 20 percent as magnificent or as rich as Bini city 500 years ago. Bini was like ancient Egypt or Babylon the great. Only I’m Ghana did we find a ciy like that because they had abs knew the value of gold too. And history says the Gaa people of Ghana were out there to settle the land as a seed for civilisation by Bini. Bini sailed the Atlantic Ocean long before the Yoruba learnt to build cities and it’s why Eko Lagos was built by the Bini empire before some powerful queens used their connection to gift it to their sons as it happened throughout Bini history. The warriors who returned home to the eternal city of Bini are usually tattooed first or needed sons with markings on their body before they depart so the seeds of bastards do not claim the eternal city. If a Yoruba man ever sat on any small Bini kingdom in the ancient times for any reason and his father is not Bini origin he would be killed and sacrificed to the gods of the land as an abomination and that is fact. You idiots do not understand or even have the intellectual capacity to process and understand Bini voodoo traditions let alone see how Bini men would bow and accept a bastard on the ancient sit of their god kings. The Binis still don’t make outsiders chiefs. The Oba give you beads instead. How can a people who still think an outsider should never be made a chief accept one as king? Think idiots, think. Any Igbos or Edo state and delta peoples who know Bini traditions please correct me if I am wrong about these Bini practices I have mentioned. Apologies for insulting people on this platform but when someone’s stupidity stun you like this one is so shocked that you have to come down to the level of children to explain stuffs to them and part with an insult because they are either very lazy in their views or simply biased and stupid.

The following quotes is Bullshit as it meant nothing. In the 14th and 15th centuries my direct ancestors were speaking Esan and we had Bini families and family names. Today I am 75 percent Esan and we speak simplified Igbo and our ancestral family compound in Delta Igbo or Ndokwa land still have our ancient Bini name of the Bini Iyase we came from. Our traditions is very different from our neighbours and we made sure that they made no mistake that we are worth 7 of them, man to man and punish them on military punitive expeditions if they kill of of us and refuses diplomatic solutions beyond reason. We know our history and are incredibly proud of it as we were Bini’s military elite at one time and came from Bini royal lines. Does that mean we are now Igbo because our language is like Igbo now? No we still marry mainly from people that came from Bini too. You adapt to the languages spoken around you in any timelines just like we are communicating in English a language from the other side of Atlantic Ocean. Does that mean that Nigeria is English now? We use English language and even added it to our native vocabularies, us black Africans must be white people now as a result of a change in language using your logic. You lazy wannabe historians need to move your arses from your sofas and conduct proper research before making claims online to mislead others. Surely a people must know who they came from?

Christistruth00:


Use oritse wara mi Itsekiri Yoruba

Ise Orisa (Oluwa) wa Lara mi. Yoruba (Oyo dialect)

Gods handwork/ blessing is on me English

Yes brothers, these guys are ignorant as they come. The famous mascot of FESTAC 77 on the old Nigerian currency (haven’t seen a Nigerian currency in over a decade) shows the great Queen of legend Idia of Bini with 16 European ambassadors on head head to symbolise that white men including Portuguese ambassadors bow before the queen of Bini, the wife of a god King and the mother of the next god King. She opened up Bini. She had her own armies and can wage wars at will if she chooses. No Yoruba queen in history, past present or future had such a power or ever will for all time. Bini is not in the same Level or age of the Yoruba nation or anyone of its Kingdom. Britain knew this. It’s why they decided that it must be destroyed and erased from the map so they can colonise the colonies they later had in West Africa. No Yoruba city ever grew to the size of Bini and 500 years ago the Oba of Bini could raise a 1 million men strong army. The collection of Yoruba kingdoms under any are onona kanfo were never half that strong. It’s 100 percent impossible for the Yoruba nation as a collective to invade Bini and rule its Oba let alone tiny Ile ife? Seriously? Bini would have sent an army led by a woman to destroy or colonise it for such an insult. Bini ceded civilisations across west Africa including our neighbouring country republic of Benin named after the land of their ancestors acknowledge their origin as not Yoruba. Yorubas were never strong enough to conquer the armies of Bini women that marched into Yoruba land constantly and captured and enslaved Yoruba men and women selling them as slaves across the Atlantic Ocean in which was an evil thing to do as Bini fought a civil war to end whole sale slavery a thousand years earlier. So this retard saying an idiot from the west quoted the god King the person of an Oba of Bini bowing to an ordinary Ife King must have been dropped on their head as a baby. Go study your history. Bini is s civilisations that can be quoted on the same breath as their ancestors the black ancient Egyptians my direct ancestors.

FairlyUSEDpussy:



God bless u ma........

I knew binis r synonymous to lying.....just needed to come up with evidences.......

Nothing gives me greater joy........than seeing u burst this mofos when they lie.......

HornyTave!!!!!show yo lying face Oooo

Your evidence is 100 percent bullshit you complete historical ignorant person. You quote the British who commuted genocide in Bini like they did in Lagos. They burnt down a city and stole over 1.5 million advanced bronze work so advanced at the time that the white man lacked the knowledge and skill to duplicate them. They all (western white nations from USA to Australia) had an orgasm when they saw them and bought most of them from the British. The tried to end the royal family by deporting them to die outside Bini. If they succeeded Bini would not exist any more. They tried their 100 percent best to wipe it from history si Nigeria can be colonised. The Oba of Bini in the 1400s can order 1 million men into battle. It takes political and financial organisation at the highest level of state to make that happen even today. The collective Yoruba nation never managed in their entire history. Bini city is older then the Yoruba nation by at least 1,500 years comfortably. Dig up ile ife and Benin archeologically and what is buried under the soil can never lie. Everything the white man thought fools like you was 100 percent lies. They never discovered America, they never discovered the river Niger or even Australia for that matter. 100 percent historical facts with balanced facts written by a British man Royal Navy submarine commander Gavin Menzies in his book with the tittle: 1421 The Year China Discovered The World. An international best seller that is rewritten history and that is just one of a dozen proven fact out there. The continent of a Europe was not mathematically advanced enough to even chart maps correctly or calculate longitude and latitude for a few after. They were just a bunch of tourists on the high seas using maps drawn by the Chinese to navigate the seas going to places other men had been to and telling lies to their own people when they returned home. The Pope knew, their kings knew. And you historical idiots don’t know your history and you use the white man as reference. He colonised your brains � and gave you a different narrative and like unintelligent people completely falling away from their ancestors you never questioned anything they said or ask questions. If they said your ancestors lived in caves and on trees for 25,000 years until they brought knowledge you swallow it hook and sinker because oyinbo said so. Ewu! �

I am an historian, I was amused at your story for I know that story well. In reality Bini bronzes and artefacts are much older than Ile Ife and the Yoruba as a political collective of kingdoms. Even the Igbos are related to the Yoruba according to certain dna tests. The Yorubas were separated from the Igbo at some point in their history if this was true but it needs further dna tests to verify this scientist claims. Because some of the Igbos migrated from ancient Israel when or before the Roman Empire colonised the Middle East. The Igbos claimed that Yoruba land was submerged under water along with the Niger delta which was a swamp in the ancient times. That would place them around 25,000 years ago if it was true. Dna tests says my mothers ancestors lived in Nigeria 25,000 years ago and migrated from somewhere else traveling across Africa on the coastlines. She also have ancient Egyptian bloodlines like my father who came from Bini. A people in west Africa have an even more older version of ancient Egyptian alphabet, knowledge of constellations etc. That was verified on tape. They are among the few or many migrations to West Africa as our ancestors preferred the jungle and they saw the great mega late Chad the biggest on the planet during up over 8,000 years. They choose Nigeria because of the river Niger which changes its causes and flowed downwards many times just like the Nile changed its course. The current Oba of Bini came from a very long line of kings in the second dynasty of kings which is older than any historical Yoruba kingdom. Sacred Eweka the first founded the Bini empire and he is at least over 1000 years older than Oduduwa so Oranmiyan’s so is just a name sake and not him. Archeological dig of Ile Ife and Bini would also tell you which was older. Bini predates Ogodomogodo. The Binis know their history and ancient locations and the king is practically forced to travel through them all before he can be crowned Oba of Bini. We have seen the age of Igbo Oku and Aro Chukwu because of a little archeological dig. How old do you assume Bini would be? Two the Bini royal line are a direct branch of ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and god kings who were black Africans who abandoned Egypt when the desert started to kill their jungles and threatened their civilisation including wars from Asia etc. The current Arabs who live in Egypt came from migrant warriors who were rewarded with lands as mere military servants of the gods of Egypt and it’s documented on archeological digs. The others came from Arab and Muslim conquest. The damaged the pyramids and used its stones to bu the city of Cairo. No true black who do that to the monument of their ancestors. Only migrants do that throughout the history of man on this planet. The ancient Egyptians were a pre- Bronze Age civilisation too. And the dominant nation or empire on the planet when all nations of the Bronze Age collapsed in domino effect from the mighty Babylon to the great warrior empire of Assyria. Only Egypt survived and kept the knowledge of man which the moors of West Africa took to the Hyberian peninsula of Spain in Europe to reboot Europe’s western civilisation out of the dark ages. They were Muslim Africans and that led to our colonisation and the racism blacks suffered because white people fear us based our great ancient past and the resources at our disposal. I am a direct descendant of these black ancient Egyptian Africans and my dna test placed many pharaohs in my bloodline on both sides of my family and I am from delta state and know my own history. My village came we came from Bini elite. Today I only have 75 percent Bini blood left in me. Ife produced magnificent bronze works on the level of the Bini empire bronzes for a while then the Yoruba lost that knowledge. The bini still do it. Maybe the Bini men that came with their crown prince Oduduwa and prince Oranmiyan died without passing on that knowledge found passed down in Bini from father to son continually for thousands of years. Bini ruled west Africa all the way to Senegal once. They left settlement of people all across west Africa including Ghana. Benin republic �� next door to Nigeria cane from Bini and they still do bronze art work and voodoo worship to this day. Why did Ile Ife lost the knowledge of bronze art works after being so advanced? It was never destroyed in wars? Maybe because it was an imported knowledge from a more advanced ancient civilisation with an advanced city complete with city walls and defence water most surrounding it with buildings using bronze roof sheets and the most expensive currency in the world bronze used to decorate its buildings until the British burnt it down and a jealous rage and did the same in Ghana. Only the Bini and Ghanaians the the people they influenced wear wrappers along with the Igbos like ancient Egyptians. Food for thought? Parts of Yoruba land including Lagos state were the colonies of the Bini empire when the British destroyed the empire so they can colonise Nigeria. Fact. Bini founded Eko known as Lagos because of the Portuguese who served the mighty Bini for 100 years as mercenaries. The bones of Oduduwa need to be dug up for a dna test to settle this debate once and for all. He came from Asia or Bini according to history as he was no a Yoruba man. Another undeniable historical fact.

In your story the queen actually tried to kill Oduduwa out of jealousy because is mother was lower compared to the other wives of the Bini king at the time. He was clever and talked his way into a permanent exile and vowed never to return. This solved the fear and the dilemma of the palace guards who knew that it was a forbidden taboo to kill a Bini royal let alone the only surviving prince of a bloodline. The king Oduduwa’s father was given a false oracle prophecy by the jealous queen and a priest that the gods want him to kill his only son so his wives can have many sons. I think the king couldn’t father sons for he had many wives and concubines and yet only one son. Stop believing the history that the white msn thought you. First he killed your religion and your gods made you worship his, then you honoured his ancestors instead of yours. Then he took your name and identity and left you traumatised before he enslaved you. Open your eyes and stop needless arguments my fellow Africans, research your history and learn more facts to update or correct what we already know. 25,000 years in Nigeria and all we know is 3,000 years only? Why?

Cleansing rituals for traditional reasons is a religious ceremony that should have been done in private with few people present including representatives of very close relations as a sacred ceremony. Instead they turned it into a public exhibition for voyeurs and photo opportunists. Perverted peoples who act disgusted probably went home to self-service themselves after the show. They look more like a nudist couple in a nudist marriage ceremony than people being punished. They were just shaming them. Given enough money and opportunity those two probably sick siblings would ran away and do it again if they were in love, Sharing that horrendous experience could become a further the problem they could simply kill themselves if they are not strong enough to survive that public humiliation. One would expect village elders to be wise, intelligent without going to school and not deliver justice with raw emotion and anger. Shame on them.

Primitive and backward people still carrying out jungle justice in this day and age. These are the moments when I am ashamed to be a Nigerian. Those of us who live in the west can show stuffs like these to our friends about our country. What they did is a serious taboo yes. Call the police, let the law deal with them if the natives are still primitive. They should get a lawyer and Sue those perverts for indecent exposure, degradation and violation of their fundamental human rights. These village idiots should understand that Federal republic of Nigeria is a circular democratic nation with laws and constitution that can be enforced. Maybe the boy raped his sister or had power over her to make her do what he wants and she could be a victim here. Penalise them in other ways but never a public humiliation and degradation like this. That community is 100 percent wrong in how they handled this sad episode making them criminals in a civilised society and they should be sued and I don’t care whatever and retard would say. This is 2021 not 1800.

Half of the young people who live in Nigeria are backwards mentally, colonised spiritually and reprogrammed beyond redemption by their former colonial masters. They are reprogrammed living zombies and don’t even know it. They hate their own culture and think that their ancestors were a backward race simply because they practiced a different religion from Christianity and Islam. Who cares really? I am proudly Nigerian, I am proud of all of our ancestors from Bini to Bini republic, Ghana and the Hausa tribes beyond the Great mega Lake Chad of 8,000 years ago the biggest lake on the planet back then, I am proud of my ancient Egyptian black ancestors. Africa belong to us black peoples and it’s the biggest and most blessed continent in the world. The planet is nothing and would be nothing without Africa. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the world want us Africans to be here. They (the powers that he in the west) keep us busy with civil wars, epidemic outbreaks etc and keep busy manufacturing weapons and selling it to us to wipe ourselves out so they can take our continent when we are all gone. Africans are so stupid and blinded they can’t see the big picture instead Nigerians argue and insult each other instead of being learning out to live together peacefully and becoming united so
We can lead the African continent and her peoples to a greater destiny and an amazing future with the resources at our disposal. Leave our cultures and traditions alone, and that includes the gods of our ancestors. Yes juju and voodoo or whatever you choose to call it. I live in Europe and they still practice medieval cultural traditions every now and then and they enjoy wearing costumes mimicking the lost culture of their ancestors from the dark ages. We haven’t, colonisation didn’t take it all from us. Most Africans have lost the most important part of their identity and history.

Muslim West Africans colonised Spain once before Europeans invaded Africa for revenge and with intent to destroy everything that makes paradise special. Yes some of our ancestral religions and practices were not that good and would have been evolved or be dumped over time. It’s sad when you see a Nigerian write Igbo as Igbo. That person is either an illiterate or a sad lost soul without identity. White peoples learned how to carve ivory like the Binis and they just weren’t that good at it and they make excuses like they didn’t have enough access to ivory. Almost all of the great and larger populations of elephants in Africa were slaughtered in just 200 years since the arrival of the white msn and he still can’t carve ivory like the Asian or African because these skills evolve into perfection over time and he is too young to master it so he gave up. West Africans don’t even have an idea of Africa’s history or the last 25,000 years in West Africa. White peoples brought modern technology because black Africans woke them up to kickstart the renaissance and the dawn of western civilisation after the dark ages. White peoples with their religion (Christianity and technology also deliberately destabilised and enslaved and underdeveloped African and brought global warming because they are very young as a race still learning at a terrible cost for the planet. Now they are planting trees. We learned to live in the jungles and rainforests by maintaining balance by not destroying it at all cost for profit over 50,000 years ago. Egyptian black Africans gave Europe progressive farming, knowledge about how to read and write and the calendar that was modified to the one you use today. Until modern technologies changed farming Europeans were still farming like ancient Egyptians did using cows or horses. Same method. Books were burned in the dark ages and the Moors brought mathematics to Spain from India and translated Greek knowledge from Arabic back into European languages. Nigerians need to respect their history, traditions and culture. Forget that nonsense they say about Juju or Voodoo in Nigeria. The British Royal family is superstitious too. They keep crows in the palace because they believed that something bad would happen to the nation or kingdom when those black birds are gone. Christianity and technology couldn’t change that. They even clip the wings of the poor bird and feed them enough to keep them trapped there. Christianity and Islam are a good religion if practiced well yes. As a Christian I can tell you that bringing those two foreign religions to Africa was the worst thing that ever happened to our beloved continent. Christians along with their musli collaborators commuted the worst crimes in the history of man kind for centuries. “The trans Atlantic slave trade of black peoples. Many ancient peoples were destroyed and plucked out of their motherland never to return home. Their identities, names and religions changed on the pain of death forever and we never got and compensation. Once the slave trade ended the white man congratulated himself for finally becoming a civilised being and compensated himself for the loss of their slaves. In other words, if you owned black African slaves at the end of slavery you have won the lottery jackpot. They paid out huge sums of money that ensures that most of the descendants of these criminals are still rich today and the institution that came out of them are world class today. The black man now freed was forced to work for another 7 years for free, his ancient motherlands were divided and invaded for profits. The white man used foreign religions to enslave us Africans socially, psychologically, to program our thoughts and to control us mentally with a remote control called the Bible and to dominate and assimilate us culturally. Look at Nigeria and this Fulani incidents. It would never have happened if Islam, ethnic and tribal divisions wasn’t a major factor. We should praise the Bini empire, the Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa tribes and all of our indigenous ethnic groups for keeping our culture and traditions alive and we must do whatever it takes to keep these practices alive, record and abolish they ones that we perceived as bad so long as Christianity and Islam did not enforce those views. Only morality should. The British and other white European and Western nations do not love Africa and never would. They just see us as an all you can eat, ripe juicy meal ready to be plucked for free or at the cheapest cost and that view would never change unless we resolve our differences and unite as a continent against Europe economically. Copying them wouldn’t make us civilised enough in their views. They wrote the rule book. They see colours even when they pretend not to. Only 40 percent of them are fair and love us and those of them that do are the common ones without powers. So they can’t really make a great difference. The powerful once worship paper money and the would do anything to keep things just the way they are and they are very smart, very clever and can play us like we are pieces on a chess board. They killed all of their old gods for business because Christianity was just business to them at first. Kings used it to control their subjects. It was used to enslave African Americans. Wake up Nigeria, appreciate our culture and look back to our cultural identities and unite so we can sprint out from the past to our future knowing who we were and who we can be. Who are you and who do you want to become. That should be the question we should be asking ourselves. The Bini coronation ceremony is beautiful, there is nothing bad about it.

Everything the earlier writer said about the Yoruba tribal history with regards to monarchy in Yoruba land is correct apart from the lies about Bini history. It isn’t factual. Don’t tell me that Oduduwa gave his grandson a time machine to go back in time to found the Bini empire? If you continue to link your ancestry to Bini then your tribe is a child of the Bini empire and it’s as simple as that. The correct Oba of Bini considers himself (office of the Oba of Bini) to be older than the Yoruba tribe as his first direct ancestor sat o. That throne over two thousand five hundred years ago. Yes 500 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Sacred Eweka the first and second are not Yoruba and they lived in a different time line over a thousand years before the Yoruba origin history. Sacred Eweka the first conquered 250 villages settlements or towns to form the Bini empire. Some Bini chiefs people believed that Oduduwa is an only son of a Bini king who went into permanent exile (long story). He was asked to return home after his father’s death and he refused because of his vows. He sent his grandson instead. The boy was too scared to live in Bini and he returned to Ile ife after he was ordered to leave a seed behind to continue his grandfather’s ancestral bloodline. He left a song behind and he was never crowned an Oba of Bini. The Oni of Ife and all Yoruba kings are lower than the Bini king according to this history if it was factual. One fact remains that the Yoruba were never ever strong enough to conquer the mighty ancient Bini empire that whose peoples predates the Yoruba by thousands of years just like some of their ancestors in ancient Egypt. It’s why the Bini Obas wear wrappers like their Egyptian cousins and the kings of Ghana. No king in Yoruba apart from the colony of Lagos dress in that manner. It’s more logical for Oduduwa to be a Bini or Arabian man because he is not Yoruba and came from a different land so fact check the origin history of Oduduwa before you try to reduce the ancient age and history of Bini. That is pure ignorance, deception or an abomination on your part. To settle this dispute as that is what it would become someday. Dig up the bones of Oduduwa or his earliest sons buried in the 4 corners of that beautiful palace in ile Ife for a dna test and you will find 75 percent to 100 percent dna test confirmation of Bini bloodline as some descendants of Bini matched with the god kings pharaohs of Egypt. Only an ancient race has that blood. The Yoruba is a young tribe although over a thousand years or more older than the Hausas who are a very young tribe. Kings have been dug up for dna tests all over the world. It’s important to rewrite history correctly so we all can know who we were.

Places with enough capital always import goods and food from poorer places. It doesn’t matter if the supplies come from other regions with a country with individual home nations like in Nigeria or in the UK or from abroad. The customer is the boss and is always right and supply is useless without demand. The north got lucky because if the south blockade trade with the north start to trade only with the east then Northern Nigeria would wake up to find itself in an endless multi generational poverty that would last for decades. All the desert based countries can trade in cattle and tomatoes. Plus fresh tomatoes can be imported from Western Europe so the south don’t really need the north. All it would take is one year of hardship. Or we can farm, eastern and southern Nigeria has the best farming land on the African continent. Lagos is the backbone of Africa’s economy and as a formal capital is no man’s land. The east can provide these food and cattle can be shipped in from abroad. These parasites receive votes from the south. Kick them out of government in the next election and we can have a United country with our diversified economies. Both regions of the country depends on the oil wealth of the Niger delta people to survive so Nigeria is a parasite nation that feeds on oil and treat the region that produce this oil as sub citizens instead as the hen that lays the golden eggs. Nigeria is and would be 100 percent nothing without oil. We lost our farming economies decades ago. We lack the capability to maintain a small and easy thing as farming. All lot of issues need to be addressed for us to have a genuine National unity. One indivisible and United Nigeria must be an equally fair one. Kick out the Fulani cattle tribes men from Nigeria if they are not Nigerian Fulani people then let them return as migrants with Ecowas stamped visa and their cattle trade must be regulated and taxed. They are parasitic criminals and they must never be allowed to carry any weapons in Nigeria ever again. Our government should provide protection for every intelligent life forms within Nigeria or we must vote them out of office every election year if they are useless.

And by the way the great Oduduwa the mighty ancestor of the Yoruba land is not a Yoruba man. He is either a Bini man as the Bini empire claim or he is an Asian man who migrated from Mecca � in Saudi Arabia Arabia with a little nation of people and followed to join and rule the people that would later be known as Yoruba peoples. Either way that mighty man of legend is not of the same dna as the Yorubas. If this debate is to be settled then the Yoruba nation should have a petition and petition the kings or Obas who are direct descendant of Oduduwa to do a dna test or dig up and re-bury the great man himself with a mighty national ceremony just to obtain his dna for tests and millions of people would probably be found across the world who carry his genes � in the blood. Wouldn’t you want to know if you came from such a mighty man? His teeth and dna will tell us where he was born and who his ancestors were. Plus his dna would settle the date and history of his origin for once for all time of he was a Bini man or from across the Sahara desert on the other side of Africa or from the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. I am not diminishing the strength or greatness of the Oyo empire but you have over exaggerated it’s boundaries. The river Nile is the longest river on the planet and ancient Egypt ruled the whole of it and lands inside Arabia all the way to the borders of Babylon including ancient Israel. Read the Bible it’s mentioned inside. Where is the written or historical facts in stone, clay tablets or statures for the Oyo empire? Even Dahomey a former Bini colony invaded Yoruba land, captured and sold its peoples into slavery during the cross Atlantic slave trade with an army of women the Amazon warriors. Where was the mighty Oyo empire during this time if it was so great? Sleeping?

The history of the Yoruba peoples as portrayed by the Yorubas on this thread is incomplete and a lot of false information was thrown in to big up your royal lineages. There is a lot of accuracy and inaccuracies as well and the influence of the Oyo empire was over exaggerated. Some Bini chiefs flame that Oduduwa was a Bini crown Prince who went to Yoruba land on exile (not known as Yoruba in that timeline) some say he came from Mecca at the dawn of islam. Either was he is not a genetic Yoruba man. Your history says so. He came from somewhere so place Yoruba royal history to a date and time frame. Dahomey is now known as Benin republic ��so as to show the entire world the origin of their nation. They probably came from ancient Bini probably during an ancient rebellion to end slavery over 1500 years ago and it’s probably why the raised the Yoruba nation for slaves during the train Atlantic slave trade with their female Amazon warriors of Dahomey. Where was the mighty Yoruba nation or its warrior Oyo empire when a bunch of girls raided your people and sold them as slaves to the west? And you deluded people thought Oyo empire was that great and it ruled all of Yoruba land? Seriously, is anyone that stupid to believe that nonsense? Lagos was a Bini colony that was founded by Bini war chiefs just as half of the Yoruba land from Ondo upwards to Bini at least were colonies of the Oba or emperor of the Bini empires. Even Delta state and some parts of Igboland and rainforests closer to Delta have traditional rulers, chiefs or kings that originated from the Bini empire and the ceremonial crowns proves that even if they changed their names to blend in. Go and read book titled: Oba Ovonramwen Nogbsisi written about Bini and the Ondo colony in the timeline when the British conquered and colonised Nigeria. There was never a time when any Yoruba kingdom was strong enough to challenge Bini let alone conquer and rule it so forget that imaginary illusion. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean under Nigeria and parts of west Africa is known as the Bight of Bini. There was a time in pre recorded history when the Bini empire ruled the waters of west Africa’s Atlantic Ocean and their people were seeding civilisations across west Africa and their military influence went all the way to Ghana and Senegal. They didn’t rule the north of West Africa because they preferred the jungles and rain forests around the river Niger or else the ancestors of the Fulani and Hausa related people wouldn’t have found any land to settle on when they arrived in Nigeria. This is probably due to an even more ancient ancestry that happened 25,000 years ago after the last global ice land and the Sahara desert claiming lakes, trees and jungles across Africa. Some of them came from ancient Egypt, the Congo region and Nubia hence the advanced technologies that they had below the British empire burnt down the city and destroyed their civilisation. The Yoruba peoples also influenced pockets of settlements across west Africa and so did the Igbo people. In fact recent dna tests showed that the core of the dna � of the Igbos and the Yoruba’s came from the same genetic ancestry thousands of years before they became a distinctly different people who dislike each other as it is today. The current oba of Bini is the 25th king of the second dynasty of kings in Bini. Yes, that means that the throne has been passed down continuously in an unbroken line of emperors and kings from one father to son or sons in the same family for over 2,500 years. How old is the Yoruba race again? The Igbos are much older and the Hausa race and the Fulani are the new arrivals to Nigeria in terms of centuries. Bini is thousands of years older in different incantations of it. I myself I am a Delta Igbo speaking man born and raised in Lagos. My ancestral Kingdom 4th king reigned in the 16th century before he was buried alive and kingship stopped until less than two decades ago when another brave prince became king with the blessing of the government of Delta State. My people came out of the Bini empire and our king has an Igbo title (Eze, means king Igbo land) and my family name is still a Bini name denoting our rich history. Our culture is like the Bini and we still marry from people who came out of Bini. The Bini civilisation is the greatest in West African history of all times in terms of success, wealth, military history, art and craft and the development of city defences. The Bini city ancient wall and the defensive moats of water to defend it is the biggest man made city wall in the recorded history of our planet earth. Not e en the mighty Roman Empire ever dared to built anything close to that or any European civilisation past present and future. At best the white man built moats and walls around a single building called a castle. Apart from tiny city walls or Roman emperor Adrian’s wall in Britain. There were times when black giants lived in Bini city as well as ancient Egypt. And point of correction for those historical idiots who compared the Yoruba culture or empire to that of ancient Egypt. It is incomparable in any way. The ancient Egyptians were thousands of years more technology, sociocultural, religious and generally more advanced than the Yorubas were or will ever be. I know that for a fact because I am an historian who came directly on the male and also female lines from the ancient god kings of ancient Egypt. The Bini empire was ruled by mortal god kings nice as well so compare that, yes mighty kings worshiped as gods by their subjects. Which Yoruba king was worship while they were alive? Yes the mighty Songo after his death, what a great man that was. A real ancient god king who reigned in the age of Islam unfortunately and wasted by the Fulani. The Egyptians ruled the whole land all round the waters of the river Nile at some point in their history. As for that idiot again the river Nile is longer than the Niger. The Nile is the longest river on the planet. Check your facts again that person saying false and inaccurate nonsense. The Egyptians also ruled ancient Israel in biblical times with historical verifiably facts and knowledge written in stone and that includes the lands going half way to the boundary of the ancient city of or empire of Babylon. Ancient Egypt survived the fall of all ancient civilisations of the early and late Bronze Age when super powers of the late Bronze like the mighty warrior race of the Assyrian empire collapsed. Only two black African nations (the First Nations in the known last history of man kind in the last 25,000 years at least) Egypt, Ethiopia and Nubia (Kush) survived that age intact. My direct ancestors and their family led by house of Ramses under pharaoh Rameses the great slaughtered the sea people (a combination of subjects of all the fallen empires and more) nine nations in all who had a mighty navy and raided Egypt and many nations with a mighty fleet of ancient war ships greater than the Viking’s who came thousands of years later. The fought with iron for the first time and used warriors who sprinted at Calvary and chariots and were like Alexander the Great’s armies at times. They were unbeatable and they probably helped to destroy most of these mighty military empires nations. Egypt was the dominant and unrivalled great and mighty super power on the planet in that age and rightly so. They were greater than the USA is Today. They built cities of stone while the Yoruba built cities of mud (no disrespect intended just stating facts) giants lived in Egypt in ancient time too and they were as tall as giraffes �. There are pictures on Egyptian temples supporting this claims even Today despite the fact that the Smithsonian museum in the USA has bought and stored away all the burial bones of giants found all over the world despite a hundreds of USA newspapers articles proving this. They have convinced the world that giants didn’t exist. It’s sad and pathetic that intelligent humans today believe in dinosaurs and yet they don’t believe in the possibilities of giants existing despite the Bible saying that the world was full of them once upon a time. They doubted the planet that made dinosaurs and dinosaurs mammoths and their smaller cousins elephants, giant lions and smaller lions including sabre tooth tigers and smaller tigers. Know your history Africans. Ancient Egyptian god kings or pharaohs of upper and lower Egypt built statues of stone so tall that they are taller than palm trees and they built so many within each city and my ancestors built so many cities like this and some are bellow water today like Heraclyon. My dna states that my mothers direct ancestors has lived in what is now known as Nigeria for 25,000 years continually and in ancient Egypt and the Congo previously before that. 300 thousand years of recorded history in our bones. What were our ancestors doing during all of this time that we should allow the white man to tell us who we are or should be? They tested the mummy of the pharaohs and my dna matched many. Blood � don’t lie. Yes black peoples did cross the Sahara desert into Nigeria as was claimed by one story of Oduduwa that I learned as a child and it was confirmed to me during my visit to the palace of the ooni of Ile Ife before he went to a Yoruba festival in Brazil. Ancient Egypt was built by giants and black peoples before they gave land to their military their servants and other migrants as they were not racists as racism was created by the white man intentionally to diminish and demote us black Africans because of how great we once were and our potentials. They fear us so they abuse us racially to put us down. The servants and migrants were the ancestors of the later period Egyptians that the people who live there today came from apart from the dark skinned Egyptians. The pharaohs married Princess from all over the world. Their scholars studied the stars of Milky Way galaxy thousands of years before NASA just like their friends in South America did. The planet was connected once in trade and travel so it’s not the current western civilisation that connected it. They didn’t discover anything apart for themselves as they were tourists who became terrorists everywhere they go because they ended up conquering people who helped, them, welcomed them and showed them kindness. In fact Europeans couldn’t read, write or create meaningful and advanced work of art until they schooled in ancient Egypt and that included the Greeks, study their earliest written work. The Bini empire were equals of the Portuguese for 100 years until they let their guards down and paid the price for trusting the parasite British empire servants who destroyed them. Our ancient Egyptian kind prefer the shades of the jungle and when their world was being killed by the Sahara desert they migrated to west Africa in different migration waves at different times of the history but only after they saw off the ancient world and left rulers behind. They went everywhere, been there, done that and got the T-shirt and the world is still inspired by them and continue to learn about them today. They were so awesome the white man stole their dead bodies to the west (mummies) Please don’t ever compare Egypt to any Nigerian tribe again, it’s pure stupidity and lack of knowledge. It’s like illiteracy, Nigerians are too intelligent for that so please study the written and oral history of West Africa at least before you talk nonsense on these platforms before falsehood becomes history like the west did to us. Only Bini and a few empires achieved greater things. Some of the people who built the Bini empire came from this batch of migrant mixing with locals. Not everyone have the Egyptian blood sorry. It’s rare royal blue blood. Rameses the great grant child of SETI had over 100 children. Yes black people also lived in West Africa continuously for over 25,000 years before that. There is 250,000 years or more of African history destroyed or unaccounted for. Egypt gave the world the current calendar we used. The Phoenicians of Africa and rulers of Sicily in Italy before the Greeks and Romans gave the knowledge of advanced ship building to Europe including mathematics etc and trading skills as well as the alphabet that made education possible in the continent of Europe and they were wiped out and sold into slavery for their contribution by the Romans. The British destroyed Bini and reduced its influence to what it is today. A tiny minority in Nigeria. Bini is to west Africa what the tiny city of Rome is to Europe. Bini had bronze and copper the currency of the world in that timeline as decoration on their walls. It’s like pasting £100 or $100 notes on buildings to show how rich you are. See how rich this civilisation was? Their art work is priceless and the white man refused to give it back despite returning white owned art work stollen by the Nazi during World War Two. Gold was melted and sold. These are unrecorded history only found in the over 1.5 million pieces of Bini art that was looted by the British empire when they intentionally burnt Bini city to the ground to hide their crimes. They did the same in Ghana, the golden symbol of the country was melted and sold never to be seen again. Nigerians and Africans need to learn their history to know the great things their ancestors did and know that greatness is in our blood and if we all unite and stop our stupid religious, political, ethnic and tribal divides we can lead Africa into a great future so Europe can stop looting our continent and pissing on us as a continent. Now the Chinese fancy their chances to buy us out because we are now known as the stupid race while our leaders sing cumba ya and wave Chinese flags on projects like a bunch of unpatriotic illiterates. The Yorubas are a great people and can be greater instead of becoming the puppets of the Hausas we should all Unite as on true and equal Nigerian individual home nations in diversity committed to the development of our continent. We are the home lions of Africa and our ancestors were the first men to be worshiped as gods by other men. How awesome is that? And please stop saying Ase when you talk about Oyo empire. Mentioning facts and errors within facts would not make it true like a prayer. We are all students of history and we need to continue to learn and write down our continents history someday so our descendants will not forget how great they were and can be.
