oodua1stson:every tribe and language under benin empire before d coming of d white, is to maintain their distict language and culture. ondo and ekiti were already speaking yoruba, agbon, ika and delta igbos speak their language, benin does not like to force their language on any tribe that is why is an empire, not just a kingdom 1 Like |

Super1Star: I am not distorting history..It's just your people's saying I am re-echoing. Bro, your people say odudua came from up (sky)...And now, you are telling me Obatala and Orunmila are the ones who came from the sky. So you believe people came from the sky..haaaaaaaaaa.. Anyway, you are free to believe. But also believe Eko belongs to Bini and your Oba is an offshoot of us. |

Jesusloveyou: Why do you people like distorting history? Where were the Ekitis and Ondos paying their tributaries before the war of independence from Alaafin? If they were under Benin Kingdom, how come.they took part in the Yoruba civil war by teaming up with the Ijeshas? Please count Ika and the rest as part of your Kingdom but Definitely not Ekitis and Ondos. 2 Likes |

APCcrimes: Who told you Oduduwa came from heavens? Your ears heard what it wanted to ear. If you believed that Elijah ascended to him with chariots of fire or Enoch ascended to him without dying, Or Zeus descended from heaven according to the Greeks, then Orunmila and Obatala too can descend from heaven too. No one has a monopoly of th heavens except God Almighty. That is our believe and so be it. That is what is believed in yorubaland, in Nigeria Benin Republic Brazil Cuba and other carribean countries. 1 Like |

What I see on this thread is a case of a son denying who his actual father is! Every tom, dick and Harry knows that (Ile ibinu, bini) Benin originated from Yoruba. There is not thing to argue about, from cultures and traditions alone, one can tell that Yoruba is their father anyday, anytime. |

Rayhut:the discussion has been very interesting so far and from the argument I have learnt a lot. I have noticed something... the benin rulers before oraminyan were called ogisos meaning 'sky gods' and in ife, oduduwa was said to have come from the sky... hmmmm... just food for thought. Imagine oduduwa suddenly appearing in ife with a rooster and palm nuts in a way that cant be explained- either because of benin jazz ![]() just my 2 cents Let the arguments continue |

Jesusloveyou: You can control from Benin to Cameroon, we care less. Your language or culture have no influence on anywhere from Ore to Lome, whereas Yoruba has. Why is your language not spoken or your culture adopted? For all our conquered territories, they adopt our language and culture. Classical examples are the Eguns, a subset of the Ewes. Name a place where your language is spoken outside Benin? Yorubas can point to Benin Republic, Togo and even Ghana, down to Brazil Cuba and the Carribeans. 1 Like |

OBAGADAFFI: You are even minding those shallow minds. They thought because Benin Republic is bearing that name, it must hav been their territory. Dahomey Kingdom and the Yorubas were and are still the most dominant people in Benin Republic till today. Even the Dahomey Kingdom had to bow to the military war machine of the Yorubas at the end of the day and they were paying tributes to Alaafin before the advent of the Frenchs. They should show us 1 place in Benin Republic that speaks their language or that has a semblance of their culture. 1 Like |

OBAGADAFFI: Wrong. In fact the Ogiso Igodo, first ogiso of Igodomigodo (as Benin became called alongside the name Idu) was also called Oba-godo. He reigned from about 40BC to 16CE. Roman senate appointed Herod as King of Judaea in 40BC too. There were 31 Ogisos from 40BC to 1100AD. Between 1100-1169 was a time of turmoil as no male heir. Ekaladerhan had been banished in this tumultuous era. A noble man, Evian and later his son, Ogiame ruled. Infact Ogiame prevented Oranmiyan entering the heart of Igodo/palace. In fact, it took Oba Ewedo (1260-1274) to defeat Ogiamien army/supporting chiefs in several battles to enter Benin and built the new palace. About 90 years later. These battles are colourfully re-enacted and Ogiamie symbolically defeated before a new Oba can be allowed to enter Benin/Palace, at coronation. Last one was in 1979. History is alive in Benin, every old street, village, shrine, palace activity and all have a detailed history behind it. |

AreaFada2: Don't get it twisted. The Ogisos and Benin were existing as a people from time immemorial and you are not yorubas. But your present throne and present dynasty that was started by Eweka, the son of Oranmiyan, started the 1st line of Obas an a new dynasty that is still in place till today. 1 Like |

Super1Star: Nothing twisted. All verifiable stuff from daily activities, ceremonies, etc. From about 1169, sure by Oranmiyan & Eweka. That is settled and common history/knowledge in Benin. Also that the father of Oranmiyan was Benin prince Ekaladerhan that became Imadoduwa/Izoduwa in Ife. That was the only reason Oranmiyan was requested to come to Benin. This has happened more recently too. In 1714, British parliament requested Elector of Hannover, George to become King of England after death of heirless Queen Anne. George was a German relative (and protestant as Catholics were & still forbidden to be King/Queen of England) of English royal family. George spoke only German. Hence he appointed a chief minister (Robert Walpole) to run England while the king mostly stayed in Germany. That chief minister became the British prime minister we all know today. There are many other examples. If you read wide and travel wide, it makes you understand yourself and your history better. Our ancestors were far smarter, political, intriguing & organised than we believe today. |
