Ile Ubini meaning I ran away from Bini. That was when Ekaladeran ran away from the Bini palace due to some conflict that was cursed by one of the kings wife. On reaching ile ife he was accepted by the Yorubas.Then he assume another name IZODUWA , meaning i have choosing the part of wealth. |

9jacrip: Your analogy does not stand when challenged by accurate facts. The Oooni does not even come close to the place of a 'father' in this supposed 'family analogy'. When Oranyan left Ife in an expedition against Mecca, he left all his treasures in Ife and made the High priest, Adimu 'caretaker' of the throne and the royal charms. Note that the Ooni is not even of the bloodline of Oduduwa or Oranmiyan, for that matter. Here's an excerpt from Samuel Johnson, History of the Yorubas, one of the earliest and forthright accounts of Yoruba history: When Oranmiyan was sufficiently strong, he set off for an expedition against "Mecca" to which he summoned his brothers, to avenge the death of their great-grand- father, and the expulsion of his party from that city. He left Adimu one of his father's trusty servants in charge of the royal treasures and the charms, with a strict injunction to observe the customary worship of the national gods Idi and Orisa Osi. This is an office of the greatest importance pertaining to the King himself • but how slaves or high servants are often entrusted with the duties of the master himself is well-known in this country as we shall see in the course of this history. We don't want any revisionist history, please. |

As at yesterday I thought it was ignorance on the alake's part, now I understand better, he does not want to accept the truth from Esogban, no rather he seek something else to clear their doubt on the state of throne in Benin by hearing the Oba of Benin speak... I will advice that all well meaning Edo sons and daughters desist from this thread. There seem to be a "conspiracy" floating somewhere. 2 Likes 1 Share |

9jacrip: Now let us do some serious thinking. So Oduduwa fell out from the sky? And you believe that over the Bini version of a prince of the Ogiso (Gods of the sky) dynasty escaped persecution and wandered into Ife a small settlement and was proclaimed King because of his prowess. Which story do you think is more plausible? 1 Like |

forgiveness: The name 'bini' could have come from anywhere and not from 'ile ibinu'. Just as someone mentioned earlier, the Yorubas had an educational headstart and advantage and by virtue of their position wrote historical books before the Binis and used this advantage to their favour. It is widely said amongst the Yorubas and some Binis that Bini comes from 'ile ibinu', whereas in reality it could have come from somewhere else. Also, there is this tendency by Yorubas to interpret or ascribe meanings to any word from the Yoruba language, totally ignoring the possibility of the word's origin from elsewhere or the existence of word co-incidences amongst languages in the world. If the word doesn't make any direct sense or meaning, then it is concocted into something else or twisted into a 'proper' Yoruba word or sentence. |

jerseyboy: I told some of them same when this issue came up some years ago. They have brain but can't think They keep making noise trying to tell how bini's are related to Yoruba and how oduduwa Fell from heaven/sky with soil that's spread across the face of the earth. The world must have been without form and void, water everywhere and the inhabitant lived like fish before oduduwa came and transformed everyone to human. Nonsense |

247Dior: Lol. In the real sense of it, there is no Oba of Lagos, just Eleko of Eko. Oba of Lagos is more political than historical and his tiny kingdom is the tiny Eko. When the big Yoruba kings are talking - Eleko dares not open his mouth. Else they will take his crown and let the Idejo Chiefs take over Eko. Heck, the Idejo Chiefs are more powerful than Eleko of Eko or if you want to call it Oba of Lagos. |

Nwaoguta:Leave that one joor you no do history atall?. Oranmiyan son to Oduduwa went to benin. He married a benin and their son became the first oba of Benin though the Benin has an existing dynasty befor Oranmiyan generation start. after leaving Benin Oranmiyan establish Oyo kingdom(Oyo Ile which was destroyed by the fulanis jihadis) and became the Alaafin meaning the owner of the palace. So clearly speaking Benin should be number two but because Oranmiyan became a king in Oyo and in yoruba kingdom a father will always be the head. And about Alake issue he should go and sit down. when was the Egba kingdom established? what about ketu and the rest of Oduduwa's children? fourth ko eighteen ni |
Re: Yoruba Obas: I Stand By My Ranking — Alake by Nobody: 1:56pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
Looool. Now I see why Egba folks had to keep fighting so many unnecessary wars throughout their history. These folks are very troublesome and they fought almost everyone lol. Egba - great warriors and great in battles lol. However, this isn't the time for disunity and I bet the Ooni is regretting the visit now. Alake can NEVER be higher than Awujale on any ranking. And you can't rank Ooni ahead of Alaafin - never. This man needs to back off and stop letting his insecurities cos the Ooni recognised Awujale as higher than him, cause more disunity. It was also an Egba King that caused problem during the old western region. As for Bini, Yorubas own ya Oba dynasty. Cry from now till eternity and re-write history, but you can't the Oba name. That's a Yoruba name. You worship Yoruba Orishas. And Ife and Owo, Yoruba civilisations, will always be the origin of the knowledge of ya artworks. A lot of ya clothes came from the Ijebus. Keep faking the funk - the Oba of Benin knows the truth. 1 Like |

Re: Yoruba Obas: I Stand By My Ranking — Alake by Nobody: 2:17pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
Charlesdock: Stop distorting Ijebu history. Ijebus have always been part of the larger group called Yoruba today. Just cos Ijebus were never under Oyo, which is like the nucleus of Yoruba history today and Ife - that doesn't mean Ijebus aren't Yorubas. Ketu and the other Yoruba groups in other West African countries were also never under the Oyo cluster. Ditto Owo, Akure, and Eko but that doesn't negate the fact that they're Yorubas. Ijebus lived in Oyo and there were many Ijebu settlements all over Yorubaland throughout Yoruba history outside Ijebuland. So if they're not Yorubas, why would they be allowed to move freely? Heck, Iseyin, an Oyo town, was founded by Ijebus. And when you read all the Yoruba wars - Ijebus were active in most of them. 2 Likes |
