We have Bight of Benin, but no Bight of oyo, no Bight of ife, no Bight of Yoruba, no Bight of oduduwa, no Bight of ooni. Why is that ?

Yoruba guys, try and stop being so self absorbed.
You need to see beyond your noses.

The only emperor in the south goes by the title Oba and he lives in Benin city.

When you generalised the best group of people in Africa with this baseless and senseless tag of empty vessel you demonstrated your weak educational background that's bore out of hate, envy and outright stoopidity. Many like you grew up with this hate because your forefathers were weaklings worst more than the Fulanis with their dominating agenda, but were swept aside by superior powers of the Yorubas.

Just as your forefathers lack wisdom and sound judgement that lead them to destruction many like you have inherited this self destroying traits as well. You always fight battles that you will loose. Love chest beating and shouting of Nzobu only... You loose always.

Another dumb logic as is to be expected from one of our conquered subjects at Ile-Ubinu.

There is "Bight of Benin", but NO "Bight of France", NO "Bight of Russia", NO "Bight of Britain", NO "Bight of America", NO "Bight of Germany", etc., hence Benin is greater? You see your life?

I doubt if you know what a Bight means, or what the Bight of Benin signify historically; otherwise you wouldn't have messed yourself up and bare your ignorance this way.

Anyways, the Yoruba language is spoken in other African countries apart from Nigeria, all thanks to the exploits of ancient Ife and the Great Oyo Empire. Please name me one African country where Edo language was adopted.


Moreover, why did you shy away from telling everyone here that the kings of Benin kingdom paid homage to Ile-Ife??

I posted this fact (on the other thread) and I noticed when you saw it and quietly fled to "guest"

Have a look at it one more time referring to time stamp 47:16 to 49:00 of the British Museum historical documentary below:

[s]You are clearly mentally ill and you have a lot of time to waste. Which is normal, mentally ill people have all the time in the world to waste. I on the other hand, I have a real life. Responsibilities, a job, bills to pay and all. It seems that in your madness, you expect me to be here in nairaland exchanging with you full time ? Look, you have no knowledge all you do is write long speeches full with lies and have whomever is doing a logical discussion waste his time disproving one by one your unsubstantiated claims (which all turn out to be lies), your obvious and naive lies, your ignorant claims and so on...I believe your are having fun on the internet creating your own reality, but nobody has time for you. The only people you can fool are already fools to begin with and one day when most Yoruba (even your supremacists) are educated enough, your comments will be dessected by your own people as examples of the worse lies told by s Yoruba and defence if debunked Dogma.[/s]

TAO11:


I didn't ask you for the above ocean of tears.
Rather, I simply asked you to defend why the Oba of Benin pay homage to Ile-Ife.

The expert testimony of the British Museum documentary I attached states this very clearly.

You were obviously shaking as you read my comment and as you type your replies. Haha!

Sweet!

The Oba if Benin never paid ant homage to the ooni if ife, not even in the ooni of ife's wildest dream.

Precolonial ife was a small village ! Benin was an empire with its capital Benin city, s built city, street lights beautiful palaces, strong military...It is only in the head of a mad supremacist that you would have a powerful emperor pay hommage toba village shrine keeper called ooni of ife.

Why there is no Bight of France: the Mediterranean was named way before France was created. That is why there is no Bight of France. You know countries are born, there is no country which has always been there. You might have heard about the Roman empire, the Greek empire, the ottoman empire...

When Europeans ventured in the region, they made maps of what they saw, and as expected they mailed the Night of Benin after the superpower of the region: Benin empire. They did not name it Bight of Yoruba or Bight of ife or Bight of ooni or Bight of oyo or Bight of alafin or Bight of Jebu ! Stop arguing against reality for Christ's sake !
