My own is when will Edos have a central language? The dialects are too diverse stretching from Edo to Delta, Kogi and Ondo. Na because say we no get central language we dey appear small for these pipu eye. Can someone open a thread where we can learn simple Edo (Bini) sentences? I go like learn. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Moneywomen17: Moneywoman, here is more account of Great Benin exploits in Yorubalands. Copied from the scholarly work and research of a honest Yoruba guy. "Eastern Yorubaland felt the impact of its powerful eastern neighbor, Benin. When Benin invaded Ekiti between 1818-1823, the aim was to quell provincial revolt and regain control over the region’s economy. Indeed by reasserting control over the trade routes, which linked it with Yorubaland, Benin strengthened the position of its long distance traders, the Ekhengbo (from Ekhen Egbo) (ekhen, traders; egbo, forest). Akure and Benin traditions agree that the invasion of Akure was precipitated by a commercial dispute following an attack on a Benin tobacco trader, Ogonto, who was accused of violating an Akure law. Even though the information is scanty, it is possible to situate the Benin invasion at this time and the economic dispute at its root, within the context of the rise in the supply of slaves by the wars in Yorubaland and Hausaland. Benin traders would have desired to tap into the northern Yoruba slave fields as well as send foreign goods into the interior. They would have also wanted alternative markets, even if temporary, to counterbalance the disruptive effect of the Nupe political crisis on Benin’s trade with the Niger. Consequently, Benin soldiers, under Ologbosere Imaran and Ezemo Erebo, carried out punitive expeditions, which left so much destruction that the fear of Benin lingered on till the early years of colonial occupation. Several Ekiti, Akoko and Owo towns were sacked and in them were created Benin colonies under the Balekale (consuls). With the victory, Benin reasserted its control over trade in Ekiti, Owo and Akoko, and Benin enclaves in Owo, Akure, Ikere and Ado-Ekiti became the nexus of trade between Benin and Yorubaland. Both Akure and Idanre traditions agree that owing to Benin commercial activities, a nineteenth century ruler, Deji Gbogi and an influential woman, Olokoju both of Akure founded Alade village/market (near Idanre) as a meeting point for Ekiti, Idanre, Ondo, Owo, Ijebu, Benin and Ijesa traders. Imported items such as guns, salt and metal implements from Benin were sold as far as Ilesa, Ekiti and Ilorin. This earned the Ekhengbo the distinction of being called the “first long-distance traders in Ekiti.” Although the Akure king’s list seems to put Igbogi in an earlier century, the reference to the importation of guns would put his reign in the mid-nineteenth century. Most significant was that commercial metal products point to the position of Akure as a regional market. As we shall show in chapter four, Benin traders undermined direct commercial contacts between Ekiti and Ondo for a greater part of the century. Immigrants into Ekiti also included traders, soldiers, administrators and their dependants from Benin. These colonists set up farm in the forest straddling the Akure-Idanre border and occupied what is now called the Ọgbọn Ado (Edo quarter) of Ado-Ekiti. Similarly slaves captured by the Benin from some Ado villages and some refugees were settled at Ikere where they established Ogotun, Afao, Are, Iluomoba and Agbado quarters, all named after their previous towns." Truth is Benin owned and still has claims to Eastern Yoruba. It is Benin territory. 1 Like 1 Share |

Moneywomen17: "a section of Ekiti historians like Atolagbe who adduced to the pre-eminence of Oore as the most senior Yoruba and Ekiti Oba was linked to the fact that Oore signed the 1886 peace treaty which the British coordinated with Alaafin of Oyo and the Oowa Obokun amongst others. The Oba of Benin was also made to enter into treaty with the Alaafin of Oyo. Under this treaty, the Oba of Benin would have Ekiti, Ondo, Edo and other parts of his traditional areas of influence as part of Benin zone of influence, and it would be free of Oyo territorial incursions, while the Alaafin of Oyo would have the Western and Northern Yoruba territories" |

I want this debate to end Now Benin is conquered territory So is yoruba land No matter how much we glorify our nations We fell to another greater nation, Britain I want a Yoruba country. The south south do not like us. The igbos don’t either But all three of us are being controlled and ruled by the north It is unwise for us to keep fighting It only benefits our collective oppressor I was respectful towards Benin But you people kept dishonouring my heritage I will say this Nigeria is doomed I want out So I call for a cease fire between southern tribes I think enemies can unite to fight a collective enemy who is a.nalfucking them both It’s over |

davidnazee: Binin have always been wary of Owo. In fact when a Bini chief becomes ambitious the Oba will dispatch him on war against Owo. Its a predictable end, a new person is installed to replace the dead chief. This fable about controlling Eastern Yorubaland is another of the many self-grandized stories concocted and handed down by your forefathers. Its a hoax! 1 Like |

Go read this journal, page 13. These are books written by your own folks. Your hoax is contradicted by their scholarship work. We have not yet introduced Yoruba scholars or European scholars into the mix. Can you imagineiyour embarassment if we open the floodgate here? We will reserve them....the works of your own scholars are suffice for now to support our position against yours. 2 Shares

We can also see how the Oba craftly diminished powers under the control of Edo chiefs. He did in Udo, he did in Uselu. Edos worship a foreign monarchy that brought Obaship to them and also rebranded society from Iso or Edo to Ile Ibini. We have never heard of an Edo kingdom. What we know is Bini kingdom. Moreover, your elders knew this would be a very difficult pill to swallow, so they made it acceptable....instead of water to swallow the pill, they gave you glass of koolaid. Till today the sweetness of that koolaid lingers on your tongue, you worry less about the pill. It doesn't matter that Oranmiyan is a Yoruba, nor does it matter that his dynasty is Yoruba, or that he rebranded society and gave you a Yoruba identity, Ile Ibinu.....all the sweetness of the Ekaladheran story is enough to quell the bitterness of conquest by Yoruba. ![]() ![]() We are your father any day!

Stop throwing tantrums and cheap insults. Answer my statements. I say Yoruba is your father any day! We can explain the foreign title, name and bloodline of your monarchy. You cannot! Omo Oba is not Edo word Ile Ibinu is not Edo word Oranminyan is not Edo name There is no Edo kingdom There is no Oba or Omo Oba anywhere else in Edoland. Yoruba is your father! We will bring a 3rd dynasty to rule you if your obstinacy does not stop. We will separate Biniland and throw Edo people under Itsekiri or Ijaw. 1 Like 2 Shares |
