You are just dumb, what's this link gat to do with what you asked me and the reply i gave.

You asked why awori have a different language then I enlightened you that it's a different dialect but same language. And all you could do is to show me a link .

Are you sure you are okay at all?

VirginFinder:


The Oba cant say those things ascribed to him. He will soon come out and deny it.

I stand with documented history anytime anyday.

For the records, there were Yoruba settlers (mainly Aworis) in Lagos Island long before the Binis were invited to rule them when they kept suffering persistent attacks by the Dahomey empire. Unfortunately, Oyo empire couldnt protect them hence the Binis came to their rescue.

Only the first 3 kings were of Bini ancestry. The third king was childless, this led to his sister (a princess) marrying the high priest (an Ijesha man) to produce the current line of Obas with Yoruba ancestry.

These are facts gotten from the Lagos Island palace and other sources.

I have seen the dynasty chart before; showing how the dynasty shifted from Bini to Yoruba,

Till tomorrow, Lagos Island Obas will be Yoruba.

Still same incoherent rants and spit splashing. Ikedi, Say something new for once in your pathetic life.

history2901:
First of all tell these chiefs to stop calling themselves "Oba",
I mean, it is flattering that they just keep copying Benin. But it gets very annoying at times.
The only Oba is the Oba of Benin !!! That is his title, stop copying it ! keep your alake title or whatever and leave the Oba title for its owner !!!
And yes, if you fall under Lagos then chances are that the Eleko is your King.

history2901:
How nice, do you want me to modify that wikipage and turn the awories into a bunch of aliens coming from jupiter to conquer the earth ? I can do that.
Look seriously, stop confusing myths "oduduwa" with actual history. It makes you look retarded.

bounty007:


try harder..

lagos is not a yoruba enclave..nothing new.

Oba just literally bleeped you guys..

Bleep.

Draei:

Kindly check the historical foundation
of the word ''oba'' on Wikipedia & tell us
if it belongs to binis. Cuz its more like you
are the factual opposite of your moniker.

Kindly read my post about wikipedia. And then come back for a serious discussion.
Wikipedia is not a historical document, nor even a trusted source of information in these matters.
You should kindly refer to historical documents such as pre-colonial papers or even colonial papers calling people and their titles.
Nw that is history

history2901:

OK, now you guys know, all the big tribes, haussa, yoruba, igbo are actually unions of several tribes which have a certain common history (in most cases). The igbo tribes were once under the ancient country of Biafra, some of the Igbo tribes were under the Benin empire. Most if not all Yoruba tribes were under the Benin empire at some point. The haussas have these same kinds of common histories as well

Guestlander:



How come Oranmiyan was the first ruler of Benin to be called Oba? Was the title specially invented for him by the Benin people?

Omofunaab2:




Lol, you just said most Yoruba tribe if not all were once under the bini empire.

Guy, Change your moniker from history to liestory

history2901:
I don't have any historical document about Oba Oranmiyan, therefor I can not have a rational discussion about him. Therefor I pass.

Draei:

Exactly what i expected from you. Had
Wikipedia said its a benin word, you would've
hopped in here to support that same platform
which most of y'all run to whenever you're
hungry for knowledge 'bout unknown issues.


I can even remember a particular benin
writer who treated the word 'oba' and
attested it to the westerners in one of
his books. Anyway, nuff said, believe what
you wanna...ain't much of flawless business.

Guestlander:


If you have no historical knowledge of Oranmiyan then you have no business discussing where the title "Oba" came from.

history2901:

1) Man, pre-colonial maps don't lie.
2) The fact that all yoruba chiefs and kings have copied the title of the Benin crown is also an other evidence.
3) The fact that Dahomey renamed itself in order to copy the Edo name is also an other evidence.
4) The fact that the title of the Benin crown means King in all Yoruba dialects is also an other evidence.

history2901:

I think you don't clearly understand the expression "Historical document". If you have any about Oba Oranmiyan then please share.
But you have none, nobody has ! Because We didn't have a written language when Oba Oranmiyan is said to have lived.
It is weird how you guys keep trying to punish me for being honnest. You must be real full blooded 419.
