KingOKON:Even though you were sacred to promise that you will read (because you know you won’t), I will, none-the-less, provide the book/article as you requested. The first known published work that features the name of Benin comes from the visit of D. P. Pereira to Benin in the late 1480s. His volume (written in 1506) contains a mention of his visit to Ijebu that year where he wrote about the Ijebu moat, the trade, the largeness of the city, etc. By the way, he also informed us that Benin has no walls. (p.183.) Oops! Did I have to let that out? I’d have to cross it out with a line: [s]he also informed us that Benin has no walls[/s] Great! Duarte Pacheco Pereira, “Esmeraldo De Situ Orbis,” (1506), page 182. Peace to you, child. ✌ 8 Likes |

TAO12: Let's wait for those you call upon. Let see if they are brain dead like yourself. Whilst we wait, let me add these few lines. You wasted my time yesterday explaining your dictionary evidence to you. You are either too slow to understand, or you were under the influence of intoxicant. Which was it? I even advised you on two occasions to get your head cleared and sober before going back to read the dictionary. I have to literally explain the content of your 4 lines dictionary word for word, line by line, it took hours, till this morning before you got the gist and you have now completely abandoned the dictionary. Your today's evidence is Samuk submission you are trying to take and spin out of context. So what is today's evidence met to prove? That Benin and Oba of Benin are Yoruba? Back to your dictionary evidence to prove that Benin people and Oba of Benin are Yoruba: The Benin people have no respect for the Ooni of Ife at all. The Ooni was equated to a piece of Kola after breaking the full kola into 5 pieces. In TAO11 lack of understanding of dictionary wordings, she thought her Ooni met God in heaven, I have to break it down to her that her Ooni in the context he was used in the Benin dictionary wasn't more than a piece of kola used for prayers to the gods. After I finally drilled this definition into her blocked brain, she got the gist and withdraw the dictionary evidence. Today, she wants to start with new distraction. Thanks to TAO11 delusion, Nairalanders now know the meaning of Ooni in the Benin dictionary. Oghene when used to refer to the Ooni of Ife means a piece of kola, after the kola is broken into five pieces. In the Benin dictionary, the Ooni is not up to a full kola, it's not even up to half a kola, Ooni is 1 fifth, 1 part of a kola after it's broken into 5 pieces. Let her resubmit the dictionary evidence if shame will allow her to do so. |

TAO12:. Dry, smoke some more Ogane weed maybe I will laugh then..... According to BobRISKY, from 1400s to sometimes in 1890s a suzerain to the Oba was in the know both by the locals and most Europeans. An immortal that eyes dare not see, in her exact words in Yoruba because what was spoken needed "SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATION" “Ibi ojúmọ́ ti ń mọ́ wá”. The said all powerful king resided to the East( SPIRITUAL) of the Oba......Ogane Weed smokers history To clarify further, the King of the Ijebus also in the 1400s did same, reporting of an all powerful king, his needs no SPIRITUAL interpretation because the King of the Ijebus spoke in precise Yoruba.......( no be small thing) If the Ijebu king also reported of the said powerful king, then we all be rest assured that the Alaffin of Oyo Empire and every other Yoruba king together with the Oba all knew of this "eyes dare not see king" a suzerain to them all. ....(Isn't that wonder, a king of kings and lord of lords all under his domain) For over 400years the Europeans after receiving this reports of the said suzerain never for once met his emissaries in Benin and Ijebu, instead within the territory Yoruba land to be precise, all manners of wars between Oyos, Ibadans, Egbas, Ijebus, Ifes, Ekitis, was forever raging on under the territory of a suzerain king an immortal that eyes dare not see....(I guess the Ogane just stays in the bush all year round) The Ijebu King reported to the Europeans of a suzerain, but when the sons of Mohammed came calling, BobRISKY the Ogane weed smoking machine did the Ijebus and other Kings reported of any such NONSENSE to them, rather most of this so called kings got converted and till this moment are bearing Islamic names while the so called descendants of your Ogane attends Church services. The sons of Mohammed were never told of Ogane the Suzerain of all but you want me to believe all your NONSENSE of an Ogane that the sons of Mohammed never heard or were told of. Between the Oba palace and your Suzerain subjects which traditional institute has been the most diluted? how has the external religion affected the Royal institution of the Oba and the others under your imaginary Ogane? This imaginary and weed smoking suzerain you are trying to create to massage your empty history that doesn't come anywhere close the Oba and his empire will do you no good. Till the end of this world never you compare your empty past and history to that of the Oba, your village stories you are trying to glamorize by spinning it here and there with everyday new tales will never sell. Your never had any SUZERAIN, never had anything, just TALES and FABLES of village stories. Ogane WEED is very very dangerous |

Abohboy:This narrative has been debunked by the the Lagos traditions numerous times. Benin, in the past, owned only the piece of the island which was conferred to it by the native owners. Other immigrants owned a different piece of the same island as conferred to them by the natives. Outside of the island, no other piece of land in “Lagos” was conferred on any immigrant by the Aworis. So, when we use the word “owned,” we must use it in the actual historical context, so it doesn’t appear as if it’s aboriginal ownership or ownership by force. Here is how the Lagos traditions (which is earlier than the later-day reactive Benin accounts) put it: “Some little time after the Olofin's death there began the peaceful penetration into Lagos of settlers from Benin. The Binis probably realised that they would not be able to occupy Lagos by force, as they had already been so decisively beaten in their attacks on Iddo, and it is thought that they were also prevented from further aggression by superstitious fear, the dying wife of the Olofin having pronounced a terrible curse on any further invaders from Benin. Whatever may have been the reason, the Binis arrived with no great show of force, and permission was asked of the Lagos people for them to land. This permission was granted, probably with no very good grace, although at that time Lagos island was very sparsely inhabited and there must have been room for many more settlers.” ~ Sir Alan C. Burns, “History of Nigeria,” 1929, p.43. Cc: rhektor, nisai 4 Likes 2 Shares |

TAO12:where can we say he is wrong there abi you nor get brain ni, in That comment you quoted he is so right. The Ooni of Ife is Oghene'n'uhe, in the case of the Ooni it is streamlined to mean god of Ife or Ife people. When you say Oghene in Benin, nothing close to the Ife or their king will resonate, you have to add N'uhe for it to make any meaning. Another classic example is Osa'negor, the Enogie of Egor who was referred to as the god of Egor in Benin, he holds the record of one of the oldest king in Benin predating the present dynasty. When you mention Osa, it won't make any meaning in reference to Egor. But when you add N'egor it would. Get a life, you will need one 4 Likes 4 Shares |

No, you’re not an authority on Bini language, sweety. A linguist of Bini language is. And one of such linguist is Hans Melzian. So, see the attached again for where he pointed out the fact that the Bini word “oghene” has more than one meaning, one of which is the name Ooni. He didn’t have to add “n-Uhe” to the “oghene” in order to realize this. EDORODION:Have you noticed that when history points out stuffs ‘good’ about Benin, you all accept it? But when history point out what appears to you all to be embarrassing (even though it’s coming from same historical & linguistic authorities), you cry persecution. In other words, the whole world is somehow against you to catch you. LMAO! Is this observed trend the result of some PTSD, or is this simply the result of paranoid personality disorder? You all may have to book an appointment as a whole ethnic group with some psychiatrist. Or you all may just simply grow up, to accept the fact that life happens and certain things already happened in the past which present emotions can’t change. Your dictionary of Bini language was written by Hans Melzian, with Bini informants in critical instances, and published in far away London. The whole world is not out to catch you. The same folks who point out what you feel are lows about are those who also pointed out some of your [little] highs. Peace! 3 Likes 1 Share
