Young man, in Benin everyone came from different places,some came from anioma area, others have Urhobo ancestry, others with Ijaw, a huge chunk are aborigines from the Ugo area, by far the oldest of all Edo towns, a town that is said to have been around for over 5000 years, this is a town which most Edo folklore revolve around. Others from Udo, another ancient Edo aborigine town which Other chunk of Edos migrated from. In Edo, we are not delusional, everyone knows where they came from.

Nonsense story from Edo blog.
Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man
Edos migrated from ile ife

Abdul4trust1:
don't mind him. Ogbona is Etsako central and they speak Etsako not Igbo.

Why are they putting on the distinct Igbo cultural red cap in that picture?

If you were sticking your tale to the Oba family, maybe I won't debate with you. The Obaseki family is ancestrally Igbo. Go and tell him he is from Ife and see if you won't be beheaded. Everyone knows where they came from in Edo we are not clowns

Revolva:


You are correct but the part you said onitsha is 100 percent Igbo is totally wrong

Oga some town in onitsha are from igala and they settled there and from there also into asaba,

The obi of onitsha is of Benin heritage ..somehow

Asaba is 100% Igbo territory both linguistically and culturally.

richiepolymer:


This is an insult to Etsako people.
I expected this comment to come from people like you.
Ogbona may have meaning in igbo but it also has another meaning in Etsako language. Etsako people have no bearing, link whatsoever with igbo people. Etsako language has its roots in the Edoid language. Yam is celebrated even as far as in the gwari kingdom. Let everyone enjoy his ethnic diversity and stop all these traits of domination and expansionist tendencies. Even if Nigeria splits today, Etsako people will return to the Midwestern Nigeria province created by plebiscite of 1963.
Edo culture is seen as far as Onitsha but we don claim ownership of onitsha...all these igbo online warriors always trying to misinform people should stop!

Shut up. These people here are lost Igbo blood in Edo. Why are they putting on Igbo traditional attire. After Hausa-Fulani, Igbo is the next dominant tribe in Nigeria, stretching as far as SS and Middle-belt. Some parts of Edo are Igbo.

Bleep off
. The entire South east state merged together
Is not upto one edo state

Why wont we claim you all both the Igala that conquered the igbos in south east were ruled by binis

Edo conquered SouthEast and also bigger with 16LGA. U are yapping rubbish.

Kundagarten:


As long as they live in our dear state, they're Edo people.
Onitsha have a lot of Edo culture, why are we not claiming onitsha? There's Asaba and the rest of Anioma people who have similarities with Edo people.

They're Igbos in actual sense but they have their own language since they were carved into Edo State against their wish and being far from their SouthEast brothers. I urge Ohanaeze Ndigbo and IPOB to reach out to all Igboid groups in Edo State particularly. Igbos are great and large.

That dressing is undeniably Igbo. However they may not be Igbo.

U lied. Ogbona people are Igbo. They may not be speaking Igbo language due their forceful creation into Edo State but their root and ancestral heritage is Igbo.

Igbo ebuka(Igbo is large and big), stretching to SS and Middle-belt.

OGHENAOGIE:
You idiotic majority tribe like to colonize people how are they Igbos cos they dress in that clothing... U better format that your useless Brain

Shut up. Igbo has been a dominant and second largest tribe in Nigeria. It wasn't a coincidence that Igbos in SS and Middlebelt still promote their cultural ties with Igbos. Ohanaeze and IPOB MUST reach out to Ogbona and other Igbo subgroups in Edo State. Looking at their attire and the New Yam Festival, Igbo is written all over them.

Despite their dressing they may not be Igbo. At the most they will have some Igbo connection in their history. But today they can't be called Igbos because the Igbo connection is now almost non existent.

Dullard, whether I (or my brother) thinks the word “Yoruba” comes from the phrase “Oyo is the king” — that’s our personally view in the 20th/21st century.

However, what our forefather say w.r.t. the etymology of the word “Yoruba” is that it comes from the phrase “Ori Obba” — the “Head King”.
own to say in the 20th. And this was recorded in writing in the mid 1800s.

Moreover, no where did Ajayi Crowther say the word “Yoruba” derive from “Yarba”/“Yarriba”. He simply said this is how the Hausa people pronounce it in their own attempt.

The key-word here is pronounce it. Enrol in a primary school if you actually need to know what the word “pronounce” means.

Some Yorubas till date pronounce “Ìgbò” as “Yi.bo” — that is their best attempt, not that they give the Ìgbòs their name.

Lastly, the word “Yoruba” (or any of its non-native pronunciation) has no meaning whatsoever in any Northern language.





Gregyboy, if I came to this life a second time; I would still choose you as my slave.

The last statement you wrote it in tears


I will admit you escaped the Yoruba issue....
Not until i will stumble on another but for now
shalom....

i b won catch cruise... Chaii e pain me, i know that Yoruba thing never end just need to stumble on the right source...


Nah bitch you didn't escape shit....

Ajayi crowther never told us the origin of the name yoruba, he only said how the hausas pronounced it,
Meaning the hausas could given the nane to the yorubas to any foreigner who inquired about the yoruba people

Deceive in hausa is Yaudara which may have been mispronounced by ajayi as Yoruba.. And was further mispronounced as yoruba

Now you have to convince me that the hausa wasnt the originator of the name yoruba by bringing an 1800 article or book supporting your claims from an interview by a foreigner inquiring from a yotuba local the origin of the word yoruba
.
Even the title ile binu was fron tge itsekiris who the Portuguese contacted to know about the edo people

As for now it still stands... Shalom

You should understand Nigeria history properly before you csn grasp things out


The fulani migration into hausa state began in 1800 by 1820 their jihadist began they overthrew... The hausas kings and established their emirate.... And their jihad continued

Benin in the mid 1800 was facing internal Civil war, which made the oba of benin loose is life, after the oba death another succession crises began between who would be king... Sucession tussle... By this time benin had already pulled out from trading with the europeans and was facing issues within herself a plague struck benin during this period guess the Spanish flu benins were dieing from unknown diseases.. That was brought by the europeans who always entered benin city to see the oba... So the empire was weak...
This doesnt not mean it wouldn't bounce back... Because it wasn't the first time benin was burnt completely to the ground and was rebuilt and vassal state were recaptured

But there is a story of ekpende shrine in benin he was a powerful diviner, who was sent by the oba of benin to warn the jihadist against trespassing edo territories... He was believe he disappear from benin to auchi environs and when the jihadist saw is mythical powers they redrew back.... But kogi their nearest neigbour was already conquered making it easy for social and peaceful pentration of islam from neighbouring islamic areas like 6kogi to influence their edo neighbours auchi

As for the yoruba raids like ibadan the news came to benin late but when the oba heard of it he sent an esan army to dispatch the Ibadan slave raiders out of edo north... And they fled
This were all attended to when benin was in severe crises within herself...
But non of this invaders could even come to esan areas because they were stopped at their first attempt and they withdrew the benin and esan were untouched by any invaders


So don't mind the yoruba coward TAO11

These aren’t recent from bloggers.

Your kings have Yoruba praise names some of which were collected by R. E. Dennet 115 years ago from Benin.

See 1st screenshot featuring Adimula, Õṣa’keji, et. al. Tell us the meanings of these if they are Bini words.


Your screenshot is an opinion of a certain Ryder from the year 1965.

Guess what has happened between 1965 and 2021 in the field of historical scholarship of African history.

The field of historical scholarship of African history has unanimously debunked that opinion from Ryder.

See for example:

A. Akinjogbin (1967), F. Willett (1973), R. C. C. Law (1973), R. Horton (1979), A. Obayemi (1980), R. Smith (1988), B. Adediran (1991), D. Bondarenko (2003), S. A. Akintoye (2010), A. Ogundiran (2020), et al.

A summary of this unanimous conclusion of scholars is aptly put in a 2016 publication as attached below in the 2nd screenshot below:
