What is this one talking about? Who is Ugbe? Did the Oba of Benin make a visit to Ile Ife to argue on genealogy? Make Una de type with sense small small? I do hope you know Ooni requested that they visited the Orun Oba Ado not at the request of the Oba of Benin... Political moves lol .. A typical you, always changing people's words to suite your brainless ego.. I wrote two different comments on two different responses you gave, and you connoted all to one? Wisdom indeed is a scarce commodity.. My first response saying "The Benin Oba said it to his face" is concerning the nonsense you said about the Oba not able to talk about your so call Ekaladerhan fraud story and I shared a video to buttress that point and you later went further to say the Oba ate his word and the video showed clearly where the Oba's word was definite. Secondly, you talked about the Oba's visit to Ife and how he could not talk about the Ekaladerhan fraud and I told you how can he possibly talk about that when His purpose of visit was to appreciate the Ooni for gracing his coronation just as the Oba did in Sokoto, Warri, etc and you said why didn't he talk about it... Please, I am absolutely sure I am having a discourse with a pretty young girl who thinks she has read so much and could just vomit some nonsense in exchange for wisdom. Go back to bed, maybe your brain might generate little wisdom to survive the day without saying much trash as other days. TAO11: 1 Like |

I keep seeing Imperial Majesty everywhere and I am wondering if this is a lack of understanding or what... Was Ife ever an empire for that Imperial majestic title is meant for an Emperor who has/had an empire ... Una to de like make Una sef relevant, your Yoruba leaders mainly fought battle against themselves and not against outsiders compared to the Benin Kingdom, secondly, lot of things the Benin Kingdom possess are way higher than what your kingdom can ever attained, make Una forget population of your people.... You call yourself one and yet you dare not tell an Oyo man that he's an Ibadan man, he would fight you to a standstill, or tell an Ijebu Imushin man that he's Ijebu Igbo and he would fight you till death talkless of telling him he's an Abeokuta man lol.

TAO11: In history no body recognizes your Yoruba your Oyo, is only scholars you keep saying schooler unlike the benin that have eyewitness from European and Africa. You kingdom’s history lies on scholars from 19th century. Now you see the difference. Your history started in 19th century. You came here to put your mouth in a modeliz kingdom before colony? In my first map you brought you see how from Lagos to south east( present Ado Ekiti Ondo) was known as great Benin before While my last map of 18th century European and the world recognized that place as Benin Ado. I mean Benin Ado was what Ado Ekiti and Ondo was known recogniz and identified for. 1 Like |

oswardic: Stop crying dear your people are the ones that are actually blind to the truth! More so since oba erediauwa produced the fables in the 1970a that is making people like you rant here. Gi back before 1970 all historical records show that the benin monarchy is from ife, what im i saying sef even the revisions from the 1970 say that, they just want to twist things by adding the ekaladerhan story, a man who died where he ruled in ughatan, this traditions collected in the later 19th/early 20th century and by 1970s oba erediauwa and his fellow revisionist have turned ekaladerhan into oduduwa lol. Why not if you are bold give us any sources or evidence before 1970s of any written account of so called ekaladerhan?? I'm sure you can't meaning you want people to believe based on what you say and make up, meaning i can make things up today and because of a battered ego want it accepted? Please reason with your head plus there's absolutely no by evidence of anybody names ekaladerhan in ife or any by product of bini culture or language in ife. Meanwhile in benin there's a host of by products of ife civilization. Starting from 1. Spirituality: in terms of olokun, ogun, sango, ifa and a host of others. This names can all be broken down in yoruba and not in local bini language 2. The names of the kings. Many obas including the greatest of them all ewuare have names that is considered spiritual with metaphoric meaning in benin today but this names can actually be broken down in yoruba and the so called metaphoric meaning will be literal. Ewuare for instance was named after ogun before he became ewuare (ewu-a-re trouble-has-ceased) and his nickname was ogidigan(the great im English) broken down in yoruba as O-gi-di-gan - it is very hard/great. 3. The eye witness account of the oba of benin in the 16th century or so talking about an overlord whom be gets authority from called oghane which in the bini dictionary is said to be the o(gh)oni of ife, the name itself is gotten from and can be broken down in yoruba language. Eye witness account of oba eweka 2 praying for his ancestors in ife, then oyo before himself. Or what about Eweka 2 son Akenzua 2 attending and proud to be in the various yoruba council of chiefs meetings as a son of Oduduwa. If oduduwa is ekaladerhan and all trace ancestry to Oduduwa then why is it not benin council of chiefs? For your info oba of benin was the no 3 monarch in yoruba land. Nigeria politics has made the bini kingdom look so different because the local bini people are different meanwhile the monarchy and the aristocrats are mostly descended from ife 4. Last but not least in terms of common and popular names. We see yoruba prefixes for instance omo meaning child which in local bini language has a different meaning, oba meaning king which in local bini is ogie. Many of this words came from the ife settlers and bini became a bilingual kingdom with yoruba being the lingua franca of the benin palace and administration(all this is well documented by eye witness accounts) You really have no case. I'll make sure you bini liars are frustrated, you'll never get that validation you want from lies. I have said without number bini king is a great king, he's a direct descendant of Oduduwa and respected. Bini kingdom was a great kingdom let's respect ourselves and leave it as that.

Or any benin person or king before the 1970s ever said that. Can you tell me what actual eyewitness accounts say about ekaladerhan from the 1900s? Also can you tell me what eyewitness from the benin kingdom as written down by an European in the 16th century said about an overlord of the benin king the oghane. When you look at them all, they all corroborate everything TAO11 has said. No European will ever tell you the ife king ancestors are from benin no eyewitness account before the 20th century will say that from 2by2 bini itself.

oswardic:You can deny your own self all you want. In fact, that’s exactly what you must do. Lol. It’s a sign of conquest. [s]Did the Oba of Benin make a visit to Ile Ife to argue on geology? Make Una de type with sense small small?[/s]What nonsense is this one typing?? Lol. No one is asking your Ọba to argue, dummy. All your Ọba had to do was to simply tell us his “truth”. He may then later eat back some of his words (like he did at his own party), but they would have been out. Your Ọba came to Ife and could not dare repeat what he supposedly thinks is true. He cowered. Lol. Historians have said the Kaladerhan tale is fraudulen, your Ọba too apparently knows it’s fraudulent. [s]I do hope you know Ooni requested that they visited the Orun Oba Ado not at the request of the Oba of Benin... Political moves lol ..[/s]Lol. No. I actually know that the Ooni didn’t need your king’s permission before your king knows to call at the Orun-Ọba-Ado burial site. Even if the Ooni had truly randomly brought that up in the middle of their conversation that day, your king still didn’t have to go; but he did as the TV news report have stated in clear terms. Moreover, the issue is not even about who brought it up, when it was brought up, why did he agree, etc. No that’s not the issue. The actual issue is about what he actually agreed to go there to do. The TV news report state in clear terms that he (your king) went there to pay homage to Benin kings buried there. And that’s not the only site your king visited. He also was at the Oranmiyan grove. We know exactly what was done to him there. It’s an open secret. ![]() [s]A typical you, always changing people's words to suite your brainless ego.. I wrote two different comments on two different responses you gave, and you connoted all to one? Wisdom indeed is a scarce commodity.. [/s] You’re used to being cunning, obviously because you are surrounded in Benin by insanely moronic dullards who are very easy to trick. You’re about to learn a big lesson. Fasten your seat belt. Now, you’re claiming here that your say it to his face comment was a reply to my dared not mention it comment. Lol. Whereas, the actual reality is the reverse of what you are fraudulently claiming here: (1) You wrote at 3:57pm On Feb 03 that “it was said to your Ooni's face” (2) I replied at 4:06pm On Feb 03 that your Ọba “dared not mention the Ekaladerhan fraud” at the Ooni’s palace. In other words, you didn’t reply with say it to his face to my dared not mention it comment. Rather, it was I who replied with my dared not mention it comment to your say it to his face comment. You have just been exposed again for the umpteenth time as a delusional fraudulent nincompoop. Having now exposed you, it becomes clear that your reason for writing your say it to his face comment is to give the usual dumb Bini insinuation that your Ọba is FeArLeSs, etc. However, such dumb insinuation is rightly debunked when I pointed out his caveat where he noted that his own statement is not necessarily true for others. He knows his boundary, hence he debunked the very insinuation which you (among other slave-subjects of his) wish to push out. He ate back part of his words. [s]Secondly, you talked about the Oba's visit to Ife and how he could not talk about the Ekaladerhan fraud and I told you how can he possibly talk about that when His purpose of visit was to appreciate the Ooni for gracing his coronation just as the Oba did in Sokoto, Warri, etc and you said why didn't he talk about it...[/s]Wrong! ![]() You’re giving an excuse/pleading that the reason why your Ọba didn’t talk about Ekaladerhan is because his visit has nothing to do with that. This excuse/pleading doesn’t fly because while he was giving his submission, he brought up the Ife & Benin connection. You get the gist? ![]() However, he literally cut out the fraudulent part about Ekaladerhan. Why couldn’t he say his truth? Your Ọba is neither FeArLeSs nor BrAve after-all — contrary to what you (and his other slave-subjects) love to think. Yes, the purpose of your Ọba’s visit was more than appreciation. You heard clearly in that Channels TV report that your Ọba “paid homage” at Ọrun-Ọba-Ado at Ife. Your Ọba din’t pay any such homage when he visited Warri, Sokoto, etc. Or did he? ![]() ![]() [s]Please, I am absolutely sure I am having a discourse with a pretty young girl who thinks she has read so much and could just vomit some nonsense in exchange for wisdom.[/s]A young girl who brought down decades of Benin lies?? Yup! [s]Go back to bed, maybe your brain might generate little wisdom to survive the day without saying much trash as other days.[/s]You should take your own advice.

oswardic:(1) Even your Ọba addressed the Ọọni as His Imperial Majesty. Yes your Ọmọnọba used those appropriate words when addressing the Ọọni. ![]() On Ife empire, see the attached old map made in the year 1513 showing the phrase “Realm of Ọɣọni” as the only sovereign worthy of featuring on a European map of the time in the “Nigeria” region. Moreover, see the scholarly submission below as per ancient Ife: “Occupying a key site on the route from the Bend to Ife, Oyo was probably one of the earliest-founded provincial capitals in the Ife empire.” ~ Robin Horton, “Ancient Ife: A Reassessment,” Journal of the Historical Society of Nigeria, Vol.9, No. 4. (1979), p. 115. (2) War within the same ethnic group/nation/people is replete throughout history especially for diverse, vast, and large groups. Even as small as Benin is, Benin kingdom still fought itself in the 1600s—1700s. See the statement below: “Towards the end of the seventeenth century,* a number of European observers noted that the Edo Kingdom of Benin* had been racked for some years by civil war. One of the longest accounts, that of David van Nyendael, reported that as a result of this civil war, Benin City had been sacked and in his day (1699-1701) was reduced to a ‘mere village’*.” ~ Paula Ben-Amos Girshick & John Thornton: “Civil War in the Kingdom of Benin, 1689-1721: Continuity or Political Change?”, Journal of African History, 42 (2001), p. 353. Moreover, the great Ọyọ empire conquered many non-Yorùbá kingdoms, e.g. Dahomey, Nupes, etc. Dahomey was a conquered Oyo tributary for about 100 years. Aje from Ibadan, Ogedengbe from Ileṣa, et al. all sacked different parts of Benin kingdom independently in the precolonial times. I hope your curiosity is now quenched. Lol. (3) Your comments are typically dumb. But the most dumb so far is this one about the Yorùbá dialects and subgroups. You sounded as dumb as an hypothetical dullard who argues that English people are not one because there are different subgroups within that big group. In other words, a dullard who argues that because a Scouse is NOT a Nothern Irish, then they are NOT both English people. Because Paul is NOT Peter, then they aren’t both of the same nuclear family. You deserve an award for the dumbest. Cheers. Cc: SirNewtonNG 11 Likes 1 Share

Jameseddi1:No. Ondo and Ekiti was never under Benin kingdom. Cc: SirNewtonNG The traditions of Akure (and the Eastern frontier in general) has the following to say: “An interesting perspective on this subject was given by the Oore of Otun[-Ekiti] to this author during visits to the Otun palace in the 1970s.* According to the Oore, the true picture was that Ekiti kingdoms did not really see Benin as an enemy. … The Oba of Benin was regarded as a “brother” to some Ekiti kings. Paying tribute to the Oba of Benin was out of the question. … In Ado and Akure where bloody battles occurred, there were a special factors at work.” ~ Prof. S. A. Akintoye, “A History of the Yoruba People,” Amalion Publishing, 2010, p.216-217. Before moving to what the “special factors at work” in Akure, etc. it is important to remember that Eegaging in battles, conflicts with a group is not one and the same thing as being “ruled over”. Now to the specific factors leading to the conflict with Benin by the Akures, et al.: “According to Owo traditions, a large colony of Benin traders sprang up in Owo and a large colony of Owo traders sprang up in Benin. From Owo, Benin trade spread rapidly into Ekiti and Akoko. Akure, to the north of Owo, became a major center of Benin trade, with a large colony of Benin traders. … Wherever there was a sizeable colony of Benin traders, they had the habit of organizing themselves into a community with its own “chiefs,” topped by a head chief with the title of Olotu-Ado or Olotu Ekiran. They also developed the practice of sending their tributes to the Oba of Benin through their Olotu Ado. Usually, these head chiefs wanted to be seen and treated as representatives of the Oba of Benin. Their unmet expectations in this regard came to play some part in causing conflicts with Benin. According to Akure traditions, the first coming of Benin troops to Akure, during the reign of Oba Ewuare of Benin in about the middle of the fifteenth century, was caused by a major confrontation between the Akure government and the leadership of the Benin trading community over a dispute between some Akure and Benin traders in the Akure marketplace.” ~ Prof. S. A. Akintoye, “A History of the Yoruba People,” Amalion Publishing, 2010, p.213. It must have become clear to now at this point that the Yorubas of the Eastern frontier do not subscribe to the mouth-to-mouth jokes which you all regurgitate to one another at your backwater. To think you actually believed everyone in the world agrees with you that your “dad is the strongest in the world” is wholesomely pitiable. I can only ask that you grow up. To conclude then from what the traditions of Akure, et al. have been shown to say; it is super clear that the pictures being painted to you in your back water is the very same picture that kid siblings tell one another — i.e. “our daddy is the strongest in the world.” “On the whole, the movements of Benin’s men in arms appear to have been intrinsically actions in support of trade and traders. Benin was a great trading state whose rulers paid very close attention to its citizens’ trading activities. The Oba of Benin himself was the patron of some of the most important trading associations that organized trade to various territories outside of Benin. It is in the context of the activities and traditions of these trading associations that we must understand most statements in Benin claiming many distant lands as places in which the Oba of Benin had influence.” ~ S. A. Akintoye, “A History of the Yoruba People,” Amalion Publishing, 2010, p.217. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Jameseddi1: Bro, you are suffering from severe insecurities. TAO11 please leave this guy abeg. Wetin be this. Aworis weren't recognized that's the argument. Are you some troll? I forgot bini are only good for trolling. Now the same europeans who you hate because they either destroyed 2by2 or they still maintain the truth about the foundations of the bini kingdom are the people you love now because they named landmarks like a bight the bight of benin, so that means what now?? Trade was done with the bini which wss the most powerful kingdom in the south south present day nigeria coast hence the naming. The same europeans who talk about bornu empire, sokoto caliphate, mali empire, the nupe kingdom, the hausa city states, the oyo empire or the ijebu kingdom whom they traded with for a long time too and put those names in their maps you never recognize but you are fighting over bight of benin, that's what gives you life in 2022. See how stupid you are ![]() No one is arguing over the greatness of benin but you want to reiterate that with lies, falsehood and some show of superiority. Like I'm wondering what point you are making over the bight of benin like so what about the entire GULF of guinea?? Do you even know the bight of biafra is named after biafar people in Cameron? Do they now own the whole of the southeast of nigeria or how is that a symbol of their greatness? Like do you know what geograpy and nomenclature entails. How down bad are you? How dumb and insecure are you to make asinine arguments like this How insecure are you especially of the yorubas. It's not our fault oranmiyan and his descendants still rule you all till today please. Like we were talking about oduduwa and ekaladerhan falsehood, we have talked about the yoruba spirituality in benin, we have talked about the true historical traditions of lagos which shows a synergy between yoruba awori and yoruba bini to found the kingdom of lagos, now you lot can't say anything anymore you resort to look at the map see bight of benin ![]() |

TAO11: I mean you are right, they were trade disputes and skirmishes and in Akure you had a prince who had maternal bini connection but paternal royal Akure connection installed at some point, infact he was many of the sons of the deposed deji who was born to one of the many daughters of the benin king, that shows that there was a synergetic relationship between the two before the conflict. And yes some tributes of trade was eventually settled to the bini king but that's not conquest at the end of the day and after 60 years or less the tributary stopped |
