Ifiokumo: Osu,you sha want to show your stup*dity! Tell me the connection with Yoruba and where should be South South Capital. Yoruba borrowed the word "OBA" from Benin, I am not challenging you rather the Oba of Benin to spell the word OBA using Benin alphabets. Right from page one of this thread, I have read less than 20 comments from Edo people but if the thread is about Yoruba and Edo you will see 1 million Edo comments from Osus masquerading to be Edo. What gave me joy is that the Yorubas that hitherto ignore you descendants of gorilla are serving it back to you hot. 2 Likes |

MENELIIK:so you actually believe there is any such thing as precolonial yoruba alphabet ? I swear you yoruba are on crack. It is a fact that none of your chiefs beared the title OBA in the precolonial era. Instead your chiefs were refered to as oni, alafin, alake...the word Oba was used for only one King, the Oba of Benin. It is for that same reason Oba palace is not called "Oba of Benin palace". The word Oba is the title of the King of Benin Kingdom. The Benin empire was large and powerful, therefor the title was revered by all, but in the precolonial era, none of your chiefs would have dared call himself Oba because they knew the punishment. It is in the colonial era (late into it) that the title was copied by your chiefs in place of the title "sir" which they had earlier copied from the brits. |

Proloy1 so the names obasanjo xx obayemi xx obayemi and etc b borne by awolowo and obasanjo et c were b copied from b Benin?;. The way you people reason get as e an be. Oba is Yoruba for king. Alaafin sango is called obakoso meaning the king did not hang himself 3 Likes |
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by Nobody: 4:24pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
lawani:My own name has "Oba" on it. What better way to name your son than to attach it to the word Oba to give him luck and hope he becomes as successful in life as the mighty emperor of Benin empire. You need to reexamine how you think. Haven't you seen people naming their children after a person who did something great ? Just try and roll your head around simple facts which you can veryfy: your chiefs didn't call thrmselves Oba until late in the colonial era. Early in the colonial era, your chiefs used the english word "sir" in the stead of the word Oba. For example, you would have oni of ife sir rotimi |

prolog2:The word ijoba means govt. Oba means king and Benin bears a Yoruba name meaning vexation. What I am trying to make u see is that people have been bearing oba for ages because it is Yoruba for king 3 Likes |
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by Nobody: 4:34pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
lawani:here we go again, you are being completely illogical. I am looking for logics behind your statement, and I have found none. Why does it pain you guys so much to recognize the obvious ? I mean some of you guys decend from slave returnees and this is the thing which vexes you ? No Benin is an Edo word, you guys need to stop smoking crack. You claim "Ijoba means government", my question is: what point are you trying to make ? How does that relate to the topic ? I gave you logical and veryfyable things, you should rather focus on that than going completely mad while trying to prove something which is false. |

prolog2:ahahah bini is Edo word?I wish you luck in your dream to recreate the bini empire which went down by the 18th century. The original binis who were Yoruba are gone forever 1 Like |
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by Nobody: 4:43pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
lawani:Actually, the word is Benin and it is the name of the empire and its capital. Benin Kingdom/Empire and Benin City. The name of the people who inhabitate the empire is Edo. And we were defeated by the british in the late 19th century, not the 18th century. You are just too dumb to get a single thing right. And once again we were never yoruba, you guys need to research your own history and stop trying to attach yourselves to our history. Some of you came to your location through slave returnee ships, your ancestors were slaves in brazil and your cousins are still in brazil. |

prolog2:Benin city was defeated by the Brits not empire which had declined earlier. The bini were tributaty to ibadan and at some point to akure 2 Likes |
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by Nobody: 4:52pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
lawani:You really are dumb, the Benin empire was still active when the brits invaded, when will you fools finally understand that Benin City is only the capital, the city in which the King lives. The kingdom is much larger. The Benin empire never declined until we were defeated by britain. There is no historical document talking about Benin declining. You yoruba who can't accept that the Edo had a better situation than yourselves, you just imagine that we must have faced the same fate as your mythical oyo. Don't reply me again, you are way too dumb. |

Soon when france invades nigeria, some will say, they invaded abuja, not nigeria, nigeria had declined earlier. Morons. |
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by lawani: 4:59pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
prolog2:Benin was tributary to ibadan, the former towns under Benin had become independent like the anioma and the ekitis who were subject to ibadan as well. Benin was not calling the shots anywhere in the 19th century. Prove me wrong |

When Benin was Benin they had a Garrison stationed in Lagos communicating with hq in Benin same would be true of ikwerre and etc. Nothing like that in the 19th century |
Re: Edo State Should Be The Capital Of South-South by MENELIIK: 5:23pm On Nov 29, 2018 |
prolog2: Oga, there was no empire in pre colonial southern Nigeria other than Oyo nothing like Benin empire rather Benin Kingdom also the word Oba in Yoruba is King while terms like Ooni, Alaafin are titles used to differentiate the Kings in Yoruba land. You may also wish to note that there is no king referred to in Yoruba land without the word "Oba". For instance, if you are addressing the King in Oyo, the standard is " The Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi". After using the title, then comes the word "OBA" 2 Likes |

lawani: Yet they are the ones picking Yoruba names and titles my friend leave tales by moonlight and face reality Garrison ko Granada ni. You can discuss that with Delta, they have sympathy for you, the Yorubas are the fathers of your fathers |

It is clear the yiruba supremacists commenting here are either children either very slow uneducated adults. I have already responded to all your new comments in my previous comments. I therefor decline any further interaction with you guys, read my comments and get educated, it is free. Good bye to the foolish ones. |

totit: Why it MIGHT be fake? No longer fake but might be. Hehehe you see the reason you are foolish. See how you are sweating all over the place writing rubbish like a 5 year old, i wonder the audience you are trying to impress, lol..they must be clapping for their village champion. My friend anybody can have an invention that was not properly documented for the records but did not in anyway refute or invalidate his genius nor his invention. I bet you if the man was white there would not have been any need for your kiddish bickering cos you would have believed him without any shadow of doubt. And mind you if he was lying, all the organisations and body in charge of science and inventions in America like National Science Foundation(NSF), DARPA, NASA and other reputable organisations would have sued for imposture but non of that has happened, only people like who are by the corner trying to thwart a Guru's lifetime achievement that you your family or your useless amala tribe could ever get close to are busy spreading cheap lies.. Get your facts right and stop being mislead by like minds like you. Emeagwali remains the father of internet if you have a problem with it take him to court and prove him wrong there. America's former President Bill Clinton holds Philip Emeagwali in very high esteem as a genius and a great mind, do you want me to leave his report and take yours or the junk source you are peddling. All those nonsense you put up here are not new, i have seen and read all of them sometime past including one claiming Emeagwali's wife uses a different name on his husband's website. All these childish image and character assassination to me is all because of his title FATHER OF INTERNET which Oyibo will never accept from a black man. He won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize ($1,000) for price-performance in high-performance computing applications, in an oil reservoir modeling calculation using a novel mathematical formulation and implementation, this award shows only one thing, GURU! Did he also not win the award? Or you also wanna debating in futility like a rabid dog to your embarrassment?? You local yoruba champions only wish Philip Emeagwali was from your tribe so you can hype him like you hype Wole Soyinka who's works are as useless as his grey hair. Next time debate with your mates not people like me with higher IQ than the entire yoruba race. |

IloveToMess: Lalalalala You crawled out again you thought I won't be available to expose your limited knowledge and lack of information ? No , you are a long thing My friend , what does this even mean,below ; My friend anybody can have an invention that was not properly documented So, you almighty genius remembered to " patent " his yeye website but couldn't do so with his almighty father of compilation invention Are you being funny or not , like seriously Like WTF!!! What that even mean Are you serious about that or just trying to be fuc..king funny with me?? How can the so called " almighty genius " according to you , that's a well known inventor failed to document his invention Just tell me you are just being plain naive or funny He won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize ($1,000) for price-performance in high-performance computing applications, in an oil reservoir modeling calculation using a novel mathematical formulation and implementation, this award shows only one thing, GURU! Yeye yeye. He won gaddam nothing but on papers and no one is denying that. But that wasn't on merit nor because he invented something it was another oyinbo work as seen below ; Patented Inventions Or The Invention Of Patents? Read the damn facts and get it into your stubborn head for once , it will do you a lot of good. How stupid can one to claim you invented something without " Patent ". So, yes, you are right you should go and play with your mates I am far above your league and you are way way below my standard to even say the list. Now, answer a simple question ; is Phillip an inventor or not ?? What did he invented apart from some sort of paper work competition he participated in?? He is the father of internet as he claimed ?? Let me expose you the more. Waiting ..... Crawl back here I want some answer. Mofo 1 Like 1 Share |
