Shymm3xx:
Anyway, the Oba of Bini needs to join his brothers at the council of Yoruba kings cos without Olokun and other Yoruba gods, the coronation wouldn't have happened. And I clearly saw pictures of Olokun worship on the coronation thread from yesterday.

The King shouldn't be a prodigal son. He needs to come back home.

Great people with rich history/tradition.

ENDTIMEgist:
The real King even the Ooni of Ife had to come and witness how his fore father would be crowned and collect words of wisdom

walosky:
But is it true that the Oba would not see his son till he dies according to tradition?

saintdennis:

Lols

Ok the christian God most southern nigerians serve does it mean we're israelites?

The Arab Allah most northern nigerians serve does it mean they're saudis?

Lol! The new Oba in his speech just described how oranmiyan came to Benin. Said he is a direct descendant of oranmiyan & a true son of oduduwa "my father". Dts what he called him.

You ipodians can now shut ur mouths. Or not. U can keep displaying ur foolishness on nairaland.

Oba my Nigga...

Much respect to you Sir and your Office.

May your reign be long and may it bring good things to the entire Bini Kingdom and its people.

If you can just use your office to close down UNIBEN... You will be the Greatest Oba Ever Liveth (GOEL).

ENDTIMEgist:


Y did he say that word? Because Oduduwa is not what the yorubas claim he his. He is Benin ever ask your self how the Benins communicated with the Yoruba , Benin has never been conquered by any kingdom

Shymm3xx:


No correlation whatsoever. You can only make comparisons if this were about imposition.

Yorubas in general and Bini never went to war and neither subjugated the other, apart from tiny eastern Yoruba kingdoms. So, how come ya king does everything Yoruba? I know a bit about Olokun worship cos I read a lot about Afro-Brazilian history and their culture - and it's big over there. And Olokun is a Yoruba religion.

d33types:




Chai uniben don suffer.. Oya bros make we go VC office make im apologise..him be my nigga

Shymm3xx:


Lol. They won't hear you, though - cos they're in denial.

Even the name "Ogidigan" looks Yoruba. Anyone with knowledge of Yoruba etymology needs to translate it (cc: macof).

Another Yoruba territory conquered via a Bini vagina - not war.

Yoruba sons doing great things.

God bless the new Oduduwa king.

Why are they holding his hands?

I have seen this in the Ashanti tradition, but they do it because the King is wearing so much gold, Niggas need to help him stand up under the weight of all that bling.

FACTS ABOUT THE YORUBAS AKA AFONJAS


( 1 ) . Their story of
kingship began with Edo
prince and the Benin
recorded History .
( 2 ) . Ayayi crawder said,
little were know about
yoruba existence,
meaning they were not
part of Nigeria of today
boarder or were in small
settlement close to
dahomy. yoruba are half
muslims and those with
African traditions copied or got them from Benin
civilization . I doubt if they not immigrants from dahomy
mix with Benins or other fulani- hausa from Niger
. Bishop Samuel Adjayi Crowther (c . 1809 – 31
December 1891 ) Was the first African Anglican bishop
in Nigeria . Born in Osogun (in today's Iseyin Local
Government, Oyo State , Nigeria ) . His grandson was
Herbert Macaulay
( 3 ) . Yoruba have dublicity of kingship with the process
highly politized to being traditional . A system they try
copy from Benin but can 't get it real like the Benin
Kingdom. Edo Obaship is one of the most revered
institutions in the world because of the way it has
sustained its awesome prestige with strict and
meticulous attention to ancient traditions of valour ,
discipline and integrity . Edo chieftaincy titles cannot be
bought or conferred on non- indigenes or frivolously .
Every Edo chief performs a peculiarly sacred duty
and responsibility to the people of Edo. It does not make
sense , therefore , to think that a people who would not
and have never conferred their chieftaincy titles on non-
indigenes, would voluntarily invite , accept, or surrender
to non- indigenes as their kings . Due to celestial
origins , the Edo monarch cannot eat out and cannot be
diverted from full time palace duties to hustle
for contracts .
( 4 ) . Most of today
yoruba religion are
Benin Origin , Olokun ,
Ogun , Iha oguega (ifa ) ,
oronmila, Esago
(shango ) , Ayelala etc .
Many Benin traditions
and spirituality are
stillfully documented by
yorubas in high places
as YORUBA ? (Never mind the Edo man ' s christian
mindset quickly dening Edo have niothing to do with
African traditional religion , agreeing they are foriegn to
Edoland . . . LIE ) .
Although the Great Edo ( Benin ) Kingdom were not major
participants in the trans- Atlantic slave trade , because
the Obas (Kings ) believed that their subjects were too
valuable to sell away , and their noblemen had need of
war captives on their own farms , the influence of Edo
religion and medicine has still been substantial upon
the people of the Americas .
According to Mason (1996 ) , it has been widely
accepted that Olokun ( god of the sea ) worship
originated with the Edo and spread to the Yoruba ( p. 2) .
In fact, the most prominent part of Edo cultural
traditions that has made its mark in the New World is
Olokun worship. Olokun (god of the Waters ) worship
originated from Urhonigbe and then became prominent
at Ughoton around the Ethiope ( Olokun) River . The
priesthood and rituals were firmly established at the
time . Some of the possible points of contact happened
early. During the Ogiso Period , trade with the Yoruba
and Igbos was quite extensive. Olokun worship may
have spread to those areas through traders . Prior to the
Oba Period , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was initiated into
Olokun as a chief Priest while he stayed at Ughoton ,
before his moving westward with his followers to
establish Ilefe ( Ero , 1999 , p . 108- 109) .
Once he arrived , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa brought Edo
traditions to those areas and was a King of his new
community called Ilefe , which could be what yoruba call
IFE. . From Ekaladerhan Izoduwa ’ s loins , the Yoruba
dynasties may have began. However, it is certain that
Olokun is an Edo divinity whose worship spread to the
outlying Yoruba areas.

Shymm3xx,

We have argued here many times before.

Even though you find it hard to believe, Benin was an empire. Whether you admit it was only Eastern Yorubaland & Lagos only, makes no difference.
Benin was an outward looking empire. Even the Romans adopted several gods/godesses from their Greek & Egyptian provinces, be it Zeus, Diana, equivalent of Isis, etc. What makes you think Benin adopting such gods abnormal?

What is more, Oranmiyan was raised in Ife. He came to Benin with many Yoruba courtiers. One of them was Oloton. Oloton was added as the 6th Uzama senior chief, now seven in total, which people erroneously call kingmakers like the 7 oyemesi of Oyo. Chief Oloton remains an important shrine keeper till today.
My point is that no doubt those courtiers would have included religious priests, bringing many deities.

At a personal level, in Benin imperial times, my ancestors brought unique family deities from Eastern Yorubaland, that I believe do not even exist in most other parts of Yorubaland. Until around 40 years ago, those gods were very jealously kept. Some are still very much there, though the worshippers are dying out.

Most successful empires adopted things from other lands. Benin has appointed two Ado-Akure people as Iyase of Benin (non-hereditary traditional prime minister & second in command to the Oba) & a prince of Brass (Bayelsa) in the last 300 years. The current Iyase is of Urhobo heritage.

I cannot understand why that should degenerate into a supremacy battle.
