shut up he said it is almost bigger, and here it is bigger than ebonyi imo and anambra with some kilometers remaining what will you call thatt if not for the attention seeking bastard that you are you should have gotten his point from the get go it is 17800 dummy

TAO12:

(1)You Sharrap dummy, because almost bigger is NOT the same as almost as big.

(2) And he said “all” Ibo state, and all means all.

(3) Stop clutching at straws and rather task Edo state govt. to invest heavily in basic education.

davidnazee:
[s]This rubbish you post here is not different from what shekau and boko haram is doing in the north.. 1000 years from now a lilliputian like you will say boko haram conquered Nigeria and shekau a hero..
good thing is that people in that time will also hear stories of Great Benin kingdom and its conquests of the Yoruba race..[/s]

davidnazee:
Benin kingdom conquered eastern yoruba and founded the colony of Lagos.. you have to agree on these facts as painful as it is.
I know you are from the part of yoruba that felt the full might of Benin kingdom that's why you feel so much pain.

UGBE634:
you are the definition of madness before he said it I already knew the kilometre because I am not dull like you who had to go and check it. that should not been enough reason for you to raise alarm if you were not trying to prove a point. as it stands Edo is one of the most educated state in Nigeria and we glory in quality education at that we are not he slowpoke and slave tribe

No mind that idiot bro.. actually she didn't understand my point. She be fish brain..

UGBE634:
[s]Na fish brain her brain na book he dae, if you ask am say he name na Tao he go say make you prove am. nor dae follow am argue she dae argue like lawyer-to win and not to say the truth. Not that it's not there now but because you you in particular can't prove it,she wants the world to believe it's not there. she is a failed soul and a chronic liar.my happiness is that she have enough knowledge of Benin history and she knows the truth she will only delude her self that she is deceiving the world on nairaland knowing the truth herself she would then go in and cry bitterly. selah ! don't disturb yourself with her she is a failed cause[/s]

TAO12:
Evidence please.

I need the testimony of the supposed conquered Yoruba kingdoms.

Not the same statement like yours which emanate originally from Benin.

davidnazee:
See the nonsense you are posting again. Your post only calls them raiders and bandits. and it's all word of mouth probably not true. I said it before, u are a fish brained yoruba..
Below is how truth and facts are presented.

TAO12:
Yes slave raiders are raiders. LMAO!

And those are words of mouth — the words from the mouth of your own people.

One wonders why they ridicule themselves with a lie.

davidnazee:
This is how your people were conquered by my people.. all the towns listed there are presently in about 3 yoruba states. e dey sweet me sha..

UGBE634:
It's bigger than anambra, imo and ebonyi state combined. when he said almost I understood what he meant technically he is not wrong

TAO12:
Like I said, Edo state govt. needs to invest heavily in basic English education as a matter of urgency.

(1) The quotation (without original source) speaks of invasion & fighting.

(2) Bini dullard was seeing imperial colony & rulership.

Who did this to Benin people?

———————-
On the other hand, the attachment below of conquest and slave raid speaks for itself.

The Oba of Benin couldn’t do jack to either Ibadan, or Ilorin’s, or Ilesha.

Igboid:


29 to 17 is not almost. I don't know who is your maths teacher but your parents deserves some refund.

davidnazee:
Chai it is paining you.. your paper only says yoruba was behaving like boko haram (same people tho) raiding poor little villages carrying innocent people.
But below is how our disciplined military conquered your forefathers, founded new cities for them..
Edo people of Great Benin kingdom conquered and ruled eastern yoruba..

davidnazee:
40million people choked in a 29ksq and 7 million in 17ksq.. I still say Edo state is almost as big..

Compare the following two scenarios:

(1) Yoruba strolled into Benin kingdom, conquered your people, captured them, and sold them to the Americas — unchallenged on the spot or later.

~~ Original Sources: Edo people’s testimony to Dr. R. E. Bradbury during his survey of Benin kingdom.

(2) Benin people came in to a thinly inhabited part of Yorubaland, They were met with heavy resistance. They lost some of the battles — leading to the death of Iken for example, among others.


The difference is as clear as night and day. You should do better to save Benin kingdom.

Igboid:


There is no choking in SE.
On the contrary we have many free lush greenery spaces, which is why herdsmen want to die on top our forests.

Edo is sparsely populated because your ancestors engaged too much in invasion of neighbors through wars. Wars we know cost lives and worst still, you had a human sacrifice culture too.
Too many internal civil wars caused by Oba succession by his numerous princes also took lots of lives in Edoland.
The End result is a sparse minority population currently on aggressive expansionist drive to claim non related neighbors who don't speak Edoid language as part of Edoland in desperate attempt to swell your population and be regarded as a majority.

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria yet accommodates up to 20million people.
Yet even in Lagos you still find free spaces.

SE is 5 times bigger than Lagos and with about 2twice the population.
Common sense should tell you that we have lots of empty forests. Especially when we had since imbibed the habit of building upstairs. And not waste lands building BUNGALOWS.

davidnazee:
[s]U really don't have sense.. yoruba just like boko haram can only raid poor little villages.. just as ur paper said, that's all you can limit yourself to.. Come out for open battles una go loose or run just like ogedengbe.
Take a look at how an established army from a Great Kingdom fight battles.[/s]

How is this description of Benin’s activity in the Eastern Yorubaland area the same as having a colonial rule or imperial rule over those Eastern Yorubas?? How??

The difference is as clear as night and day. You should do better to save Benin kingdom from my grip.

[s]Is you tiny village among those listed below? I'm very sure yours is amongst the ones my ancestors destroyed..Thank God I'm never on the losing end[/s]

TAO12:
Mr man channel this your energy into bringing forward the part of the video which convinces you the most.

Comment it out here on Nairaland, and let me shred it into pieces for you here on Nairaland.

I can’t waste my time watching a video that I don’t have the platform to debunk right there in the comment.

You claim to have no time to defend Benin with your best argument from the video.

Yet you have enough time to type up all the above off points and inconsequential pleas.

Ogbeni shift and come back letter. Don’t quote me if you’re not bringing your best arguments from the video.

Fezz:
[s]From your statement here it's quite obvious you are on pay roll from a royal/political house to debunk the history of Benin Kingdom on Nairaland whether authentic or otherwise. It's quite a shame though because if you are truly a historian I'm quite sure you will study any historical material that comes your way to understand the true history of the Benin kingdom, but instead all you are concerned about is how to debunk historical facts on Nairaland even if such historical facts are authentic. Thanks for exposing your true agenda to the public.[/s]

davidnazee:


You are going too far to those African countries sef.. Edo state is almost bigger than all the ibo states put together..

TAO12:
This is the type of delusions that makes me flog you people’s skulls into pieces.

Edo state = 17,802 km²

The Ìgbò states = 29,525 km²

Now tell me why I should not flog your skull into pieces.
