Hhahaha stop appropriating Yoruba cultural monuments and edifices. You took a picture of Sungbo Eredo and wrote Benin wall on it. Benin imaginary storybook wall that has all crumbled and the only thing left is a heap of mud being washed away gradually by Edo erosion. 100 Likes 5 Shares |

OP I have you time today. Enough of all these lies 1. The picture you displayed is NEVER bini but Sungbo's Eredo which is located in Ijebuland aka Yoruba http://originalpeople.org/sungbos-eredo-africas-largest-man-structure/ 2. Benin KINGDOM NOT AN EMPIRE. Do you know what an empire is ? ![]() 3. Benin kingdom wall IS NOT ONE OF THE LARGEST MAN-MADE WALL. STOP THE LIES. In Nigeria alone we have larger man made structures than benin wall. - Sungbo Eredo - The Queen Amina Palace. Just to mention a few 4. The british never fought benin, they simply conqured it. It is on record that only the Igbos and Lagosian fought the british I don tire sef. I no get energy wer I get before Anyway keep deceiving yourself 93 Likes 7 Shares |

![]() Wow. The Binis are creative. Too bad the great wall is gone....but they've replaced it with Calabashes of sacrifice. From Upper Sakponba, to Ikpoba Slope, From Ekiadolor to Isiohor, From Uselu to Ekenwan From Aduwawa to Ugbor From Upper Mission to Agbor Park to Akpakpavwa Every junction is adorned with these festish sacrifices. They are the only tribe in Nigeria not to completely let go of tradition. No matter how born-again, spirit-filled they may be, they totally adhere to their traditions and superstitious beliefs. They respect the Oba so much that they can't even turn down his request if he asks to shag their wife. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Great Wall of China is 8,000km+ and Benin is 16,000km. So it's not 4 times the length of great wall of China. Moreover, your pictures don't correlate and is there anything like "Benin empire"? 5 Likes 1 Share |
Re: FACTS About The Great Wall Of Benin by naija4jump: 8:18pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
there is the wall. it was not an empire.. the towns were fighting each other. so they build a wall to block others from attacking them. benin has had history of obas for several years.. alot of the people you find in benin city are immigrate, not originally from the place. many cities in nigeria has obas in the cities and towns 2 Likes |
