The first ogiso is Igodo, I delibrately showed you those two pictures of Statue Known as the child of Obatala(Oba-tala) and the Egyptian god Bes so you can see the plain similarity between the two and to let you know that even before any Ogiso or whatever the word Oba has been a Yoruba word except you want to tell me the Ogiso dynasty predates the Egyptans,

Omo oba ni edo means the son of the king that now resides in edo.

Oduduwa had 7 sons, one of them went to bini to become king.

AlPeter:
i never denied the presence of Olokun in Ife, what am telling you is that Olokun was introduced to your people by prince Ekalarderhan. Olokun is regarded as the favorite son of Osalobua, God, in Benin mythology which had been, long before Oduduwa. BTW answer my question. That OLOKUN FACE LOOK MORE LIKE AN ORA PERSON'S FACE

Charlesdock:
With the way you guys dey drag mata we would need to wake these our ancestor up oo to let them tell us the truth. Oya Oduduwa where are thou wake up by fire! .

waleola09:

The other time you asked me to use google to search for the name of the first Ogiso which I did and I gave you the answer to be Igodo and not Oba. Now I believe google is your friend too, so I'll like you to search for Olokun on google and see for yourself if it's an indigenous Yoruba orisha or not. And for your information sir, Olokun is not a man/son by gender she's a female goddess so it's obvious she's not the favorite son of Osalobua as you stated. Good night and happy night rest.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_Ogiso list of the Ogisos Note; the first is known as Oba Igodo or Igodo. Igodo means 'Brightly' Oba Igodo means 'shines Brightly' Note also the 28th Ogiso was Ogiso ODUWA.

I thought it's only their women that is filthy and unhygienic. People say that Yoruba women and doti are like Siamese twins. I didn't know Edo people consider all of them as doti people. Where is spanishkid to confirm this.

shinel:
Oba of Benin spokeman is a confused man...

'oni of Ife is a son of Oba of Benin' And we are not Yoruba race. What a confusing statement! We need clarity pls...

Super1Star:


There is nothing like Oba in the dynasty of Ogisos.

Oba started with Eweka 1, son of Oranmiyan, the great grandson of Oduduwa.

hotwax:
Even Benin people know they dont use Oba before. They use "Ogiso"

Aweka an Ife Prince went there and Install Oba and Omo'Noba in Edo meaning Omo Oba.

Omo Oba means son or subject of Oba. Someone who is accountable to Oba.

Omo and Oba are never Benin words. They were borrowed from Yoruba. Yoruba also sold them many artworks, terracota, weaving, fashion, Language and spirituals e.t.c.

Oba is a word for dominion.

[b]Ba [/b]is the verb meaning suppress or dominate

Oba is the noun.

Ba - alee: Dominate over a land. Thats why we call village head Baale.

Ba-ale: Dominate a house (head of the house)

Ba, Oba, Baale are yoruba words.

There is no crime in benin people borrowing it, but twisting facts is a crime.

Alubosa is not a Yoruba word. It was borrowed from the hausa. Its only a yoruba fool who will claim alubosa is a yoruba word.

Infact its an arabic word.

Benin people wise up.

AlPeter:
confirm things first, before talking. I gave a link check it up. Do you speak the language? do you know the meaning of 'UNKPO OBA'? If you do then no further discussion but i can bet.

oloyede252:
oh God.too much dense people on this thread..lemme ask you a simple question.was there anything like benin kingdom before the coming of oduduwa to edo land?if you're intelligent you will agree wiht the ooni.but you are too dull to understand.

hotwax:


Egbas and Ijebu discovered Lagos. They traded with Benin and Portugues. They sold artworks, Slaves, religion beliefs to Benins.

Why do benin worship Sango?

ESU ?

Obatala?

Be warded in knowledge and not just ethnic rants. We are one.

And when you guys trace your root, you fail. You dont know your root. Just because you hate Yorubas you are trying to erase your origin.

A Benin guy was saying Benins were from Igbo Land...I cried for him

hotwax:



Even the current oba of benin came to Ile-Ife for approval. It shows your age. Ask elders in your town (not an insult)

Super1Star:



All these one everybody is blowing nah grammar.

We are daring the Oba of Benin or his stooges to come out and say he is not from the House of Oduduwa.

Simple.

What is there in uttering those simple words as statement.

Super1Star:


Tell us what it means.

Let us take it from.there.

RaptorX:
You must really be dumb or just being silly if you don't know that the Biafran army captured and occupied Benin city during the mid west invasion, before they were beaten back in Ore on their way to Lagos. The federal army finally evict them from Benin and the entire mid west and chased them all the way to Onitsha .

ritababe:

It was the Benin People that gave the name Eko, which means "Camp" in Bini language. The Benin people usually settled here in Lagos. It was on one of those trips that they met Ile-Ife fishermen on the coast of Eko and they fought and defeated the Ile-Ife fishermen and few Benin people settled in Eko and few scattered population of Ile-Ife people always settled for fishing. When the Portugese came for exploration, the named Eko, which in Bini means camp, they name it Lagos, which means "Lake" in Portugese. You need to know the fact. Which is Oduduwa wasnt born in ile ife. He migrated from somewhere. So the question is where did he migrate from? The yoruba kingdom had existed before Oduduwa settled there. So where did Oduduwa come from? Why did he send his son to rule over Benin kingdom? Try and see the connection and analogy in this. TO be king you must be royalty by blood line. Hence he sent his son to Benin to rule over his ancestral throne cc. Lstar4real oloyede252 pulsa

The Benin Empire was so great that when the people of Dahomey wanted to choose a new name for their country, they didn't choose Oyo, or Ife, they choose Benin.

read the historical records of lagos in 1630s (the actualization of lagos)

JoeBlocks:
I await the Oba of Benin response to this.
