davidnazee: Did you read the topic of the write up. Mr monkey before doctoring the write up ..War is normal phenomena either win or lose but conquering is different ball game ..Benin lost war to igala too were they conquered? If Benin was tough has you people claimed they would move north to conquer the igalas and make their make in history ..i'm sorry for you people the relevance your oba has is in southwest due to historic tie ... look at your life trying to fabricate conquering Nri kingdom |

Obalufon: Even historians acknowledge this. That Yoruba would have owned everything to the banks of Niger if Bini had not been regarded as a sacred crown and with fraternal to Oyo. Without the ties to Bini, Ibadan alone is sufficient to wipe out Edoland and everything beyond. You see what they did when just Seriki Ogedengbe headed to invade them....how they pacified him. ![]() |

davidnazee: Ahhhh.... you beheaded Fearless warriors! ![]() ...but you are donating fresh sweet Edo pussy to Igala to fvk and save your town from invasion and beheadings. ![]() ....but you bribed Seriki Ogedengbe and gave him Edo slaves if he would just have mercy on you and not attack and behead your people. Cowards! Everybody in South had either thrashed you or accepted your bribes and changed their mind about invading you. Latest was 67...you should have bribed Biafra and save yourself this humiliation below. 1 Share

BabaRamota1980:this useless people don't know connection between oyo,ife.and owo. They are bastards son...their significance in ekiti and ondo is due to revered nature of stool of oba benin .Oyo controlled the coast from Lagos Badagry to portNovo to Lome. And gave Lagos island a degree of autonomy Oyo Will never go to war with Benin.. 1 Like |

Ibadan would have taken ilorin and drove the Fulani Muslim out of ilorin if we were united then..Yoruba nation didn't succumb to Ibadan rule over them after collapse of Oyo empire . Ibadan liberated ekiti ,yagba Okun ,osogbo and restricted the Fulani invaders to ilorin chased then out of our land ... where were the Edos when the Fulani occupied ekiti land but they are quick to claim it as being under their kingdom """ Nothing like Edo.kingdom but Benin kingdom""". Forest shield them from external aggression they can't withstand the igalas 2 Likes |

ghostfacekillar:Each war Benin fought against Igbo, Benin won. Some of these wars were even witnessed by European observers. Benin never lost a single war, even when an Oba died in battle. When Britain wanted to take over Igbo land, it's generals clearly stated that that task would be impossible so long as Benin was still standing. 1 Like |

Obalufon:The present day ekiti and Ondo-Akoko wasn't heavily occupied by the Yorubas but by Idoko, Ika, efa people etc when Bini kept attacking which brought emigration back to Eastern part from where they came from. Chima,the founder of onitsha,wasn't any son of any Bini Oba but Ika - Ibo man . There were Ika extraction in Edo before they had problem with the Oba . The migration then begun around 13th-15th century,Eastward and resettlement begun to happen by these different groups. Same problems took root with Urhobo,Isoko etc migrating away from Bini.Ika, and these other people were part of Edo before Oranmiyan came. And the maltreatment and heavy human sacrifices depopulated Edo. 1 Like |

Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Olu317(m): 6:34pm On Jul 23, 2018 |
Obalufon:This thread isn't about Idoko but Edo. Although I had to made mention of it because of some Edo lies peddler on here.Briefly, Idoko are Ata ( Igala ) offshoot people who were the aborigine amongst the Nok culture that changed their names at different times because of migration and parents names identification. They can be found in Benue, Ekiti,Ondo,Anambra, Edo etc under the guise of Igala .They were/are heavily influenced linguistically by Yorubas ,Ibos,Jukun,Bini people etc. 1 Like |

Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Olu317(m): 8:37pm On Jul 23, 2018 |
Obalufon:We aren't . Anyone whose family isnt connected to the people at ILE IFE isnt/aren't Yorubas. Oriki(panegyric) and Ebi system nailed who is/are of ancient Yorubas. The same way Ibariba(Tapa) intermarriages brought about the relationship with Yoruba is the way Igala-Idoko is related to Yorubas. I don't belong to the group of Yoruba that's economical or emotional about the truth. I say it as it is. Ebi system knock 'em all off. |

Olu317: we are OLU have you heard igala people speak..?. they find it easy to understand yoruba,, they are yoroboid .. just like the itskeri igala language contains 75% of yoruba lexicon |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Olu317(m): 9:25pm On Jul 23, 2018 |
Obalufon:If you say so but we are not. Kindly note, Itsekiri are Yoruba offshoot. Igala are not ,even if they are Yoruboid. Do you know the ancient Egyptians and Hebrew spoke a related language ? This didn't identified them as same offshoot. Infact they were brownish-Dark skin in nature that you hardly could differentiate them but only on tradition. The point here is that Yoruba had a system unique to them because of today. Yoruba may be related to Igala-Idoko via the after mentioned but doesn't go out of it. |

Olu317: Whatever Ijebu is to Yoruba, thats what Itsekiri is. They are dotted to Ijebu same way Ugbodu is dotted to Owo. I will agree they (Itsekiri) are ruled by a dynasty that is an offshoot of Yoruba. |

Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Obalufon: 10:13am On Jul 24, 2018 |
BabaRamota1980:I believe you but igala and Yoruba are from the same source but split along the line we dressed alike speak the same language With some variation and they have their own account on oduduwa which I believe was distorted to suit them..Nupe and Bariba too has their own history regarding the Yoruba... igala gave birth to Nupe |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Olu317(m): 11:21am On Jul 24, 2018 |
BabaRamota1980:Nah! I disagree because Ijebu is a towering name that each group that found its way adopted as suffix to her independent clans in the same way the Ekitis did too. There are speculation that one or two crown(s) is/are older than Ijebu Odè. Itsekiri is a conglomeration of different clans of Yorubas that found her way to bank of the Atlantic and very little outside influence on her language, using Yoruba language as the 'evidence'. |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Olu317(m): 11:49am On Jul 24, 2018 |
Obalufon:To believe is different from the evidence before you and I. Convince me about the ébi(e) system in Igala with same cognate and I may see it from your perspective. As you seem to think that Igala gave birth to Nupe but the other way round is most like because of Igala has an account as the name of a man.Nupe-Ibariba-Borgu-Tapa existed before the Igala as a name.Go to Benue state and neighboring, you wil notice ‘Idoko' as a name amongst them . Why is this not amongst Yorubas? Tell yourself the truth my dear brother. If Yoruba is linked with these people,there would have been an account to this effect via a prince(s)/princess(es) migrants. Despite Nupe influence on Kabba,she still retain oral,panegyric, language, etc with Yoruba. In fact, there is a quarter at ILE that still speak same form of dialect with Yagba and Okun people as a whole even if there is slight deviation from the dialects. This can't be said about Igala- Nupe ,that you assume as linked to ancient Yorubas. If you refer to assimiliation, I wouldnt doubt because,this is the way intermarriages came in between different groups. Whatever account being claimed by different people are modern on Oduduwa. Beside, Odua had so many names that he was reffered and the Iconic of it all was ‘Oorni', Oonì O o nì ( owner of vast land ) . Many people want to be connected to him but are all these people his descendants ? Practically ‘no'. Like I had said,let us not engage on Igala- Yoruba connection on this thread. Note; my last take on it on this thread. Cheers. |

Olu317: yeah .. i will reserve my comment on Igala and yoruba on this thread but there are lot of etymological research on this subject Yoruba igala itsekiri yoroboid group I would not have talked about it if you hadn't mentioned the Idoko people they are not Yoruba but speak yoroboid I have heard them speak and I could understand ....they bare name like Ojo too.. Thanks Olu |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by Obalufon: 1:45pm On Jul 24, 2018 |
Don't misconstrue me I am not saying they are Yoruba but speak yoroboid ,(((itsekiri gala,)) I don't even see the itsekiri as Yoruba despite them speaking yoroboid I am very sensitive regarding such issues unless they claim ancestry from ile-ife (((igala means antelope coin from the excess antelopes in that region.... |

This thread is supposed to be about the meaning of Edo flag. But hateful tribalists that follow Edo matter throughout nairaland have come here to spew their unprovoked hate against Edo. You tribalists are obviously not happy with your lives. Otherwise why do you like derailing cultural threads with your nonsense. Find ways to better yourselves and your communities rather than trying to bring others down |

Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by lawani: 7:56pm On Jul 28, 2022 |
Olu317:I have deduced that the Oduduwa ruling family must have come from Egypt but at the time Egypt was ruled by a dynasty originating from Sumerian hence the mention of Nimrod by the prince that was crowned in Ile Ife. There is a good possibility that Ife was in Kogi state when Oduduwa came because there are some Ifes in Igala land till now and the Onu ife there does not bow to the Attach Igala. My belief is that the Jukun sacked that Ife or troubled them a lot and they relocated to Igbomokun in Osun state which they renamed Ife. I believe the bronze work found in Ugbo Ukwu is of Ice origin and it should be Ife Igala as Igala land is also in Anambra state with ethnic Igalas. The Igala as they are now are being ruled by a Jukun origin dynasty but their political system is still of the Ife. I think the human being ruling does not matter since many monarchs inside Yoruba land are also of varying origin. They have the equivalent of Ogboni which they call Oboni and the Attah Igala us under such a council called Igalamela meaning The nine elders of Igala. They are the ones actually in charge of Igala land but the dynasty is Jukun origin while the language is Yoruboid and they have at least two ancient Ifes on their land whose kings are definitely descended from ancient Ife royalty. |
