Eberejesus111: Your Igbo analysis is bloodily wrong and misleading. If you don't history, research before posting. |

Eberejesus111: The problem with many of you Nigerians is that history is not a science to you. To you, it is a thing to be manipulated in order to fit whatever the purpose you have today. Whereas to people like me, history is a science, studying the passed. Only the truth matters to me, no sugar cutting, just facts. What happened in the passed ? It will take time before many Nigerians are evolved enough to reach this level of sobriety. Your long essay is just an other rewriting of history to make everybody feel good. There is no record of any such thing as "oyo empire" and there is no record of south-south people going to nri for "fair jurisdiction" wtf ? |

MelesZenawi: Precolonial maps of Benin Kingdom: Some of the maps: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b77595185.r=Benin?rk=21459;2 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b7759521n.r=Benin?rk=21459;2 An other map of Benin made in the 17th century once again: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b530530714.r=Benin?rk=214593;2 An other map of Benin from the 17th century: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595583b.r=Benin?rk=193134;0 This one date to the 19th century: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b846939 Contrary to you, I only say what I know to be true and can prove. You are talking about"history" and don't realise there was no such thing as "local government" 200 years ago, or perhaps you believe the British met a country called Nigeria and a president of Nigeria. |

ghostwon: LOL. After all the "I am after truth" and history is a science You ended with "there's no record of Oyo empire" rendering yourself no different from those you say pursue history for their own manipulative agenda 3 Likes |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 2:06pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
ghostwon: Not against you. Contain your Benin kingdom in Edo or you can stretch to Urhobo but anything coming to R.Niger is Igboland. That's all. I am not against your empire. |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 2:14pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
macof:Instead of making your empty statement, why don't you show me a record of oyo empire. The first record about oyo shows a dying and week kingdom being put to sleep by Fulani and it's citizens being sold into slavery. How that translates into an empire is beyond me. |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 2:15pm On Mar 07, 2020 |

ghostwon:you can go around the areas of the former Oyo empire yourself and find first hand exposure to the evidence since books written on Oyo empire don't convince you |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 5:56pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
macof:Nope, sorry I can't go around an inexistent thing. Oyo empire exists only in Yoruba imagination and history rewriting works of fiction, oyo was a small weakling city-kingdom which got put to sleep. |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by macof(m): 6:52pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
ghostwon:OK then your previous statement has been rendered worthless. You are after all the blabbering not after history but some ethnic bigotry Soothe yourself.. Like I said before ignorance is your comfort zone 2 Likes |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 7:23pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
ghostwon:Fact is that Benin kingdom is only 5 to 8 local government areas. QED. |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 8:29pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
MelesZenawi: Once again, you resort to a previously debunked claim of yours. The borders of Benin Kingdom are drawn in these precolonial maps which I have already addressed to you 3 times: ghostwon:These borders cover several regions within and outside what we now call Nigeria, way beyond your so called local governments. So much for your claims with no knowledge. You are just an other arrogant Nigerian who believes he knows better ( even though he knows nothing) and refuses to learn.

ghostwon:please carry your fake map and go. Your kingdom has no weight . It's jurisdiction starts and ends in Edo state. If you need land, buy one and stop looking for one to grab |

MelesZenawi: Reply: The source of the maps are on the maps. The website hosting them is owned by one of Europe's best 2 libraries. So try again, if you want to claim the maps are fake. What is fake and stupid however is your claim. ghostwon:

All these people opening their mouths today would not have been bold enough to talk if the British had not burned Benin city to the ground. Benin city was the capital of an empire called Benin Kingdom/Empire.

Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 9:20pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
All these are pictures of precolonial Benin city. The truth shall always set us all free.

Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 9:25pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
Benin empire was a developped country. You guys are here talking about tribes while Benin empire was a modern nation. Developped way beyond your tribal considerations. (According to the European visitors) A nation comparable to the kingdoms of Europe. Sorry if this hurts the feelings of the low self esteemed people whose ancestors didn't have such a mighty empire to show. |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 9:35pm On Mar 07, 2020 |
I am showing all of you the way: history should be fun, it should be about discovering things, not making them up. All that matters is the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmrdunRXfbw |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 6:49am On Mar 08, 2020 |
ghostwon: Not only developed nation but developed continent.. A Benin/Edo man is a Yoruba man and both has striking features and resemblances. both share so much is common both culturally and otherwise. Coming here to be talking about 5 local governments instead of join Yorubas in pursuit of Oduduwa republic is a misnomer. Benin kingdom today starts and ends in Edo state. |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 11:11am On Mar 08, 2020 |
MelesZenawi: You are clearly retarded. I have proven all your claims to be false and you keep repeating them. I have no more time for you. Have fun creating your own reality on nairaland like your fellow Yoruba mentally ill people on nairaland. Go and create your Spiderman Republic, all you descendants of Spiderman (or do you call him oduduwa). |
Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by Nobody: 2:38pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
ghostwon: I am not yoruba nor Oduduwa. Your Benin kingdom is non of my business as far you doesn't encroach in Igboland. Bini man is same as a yoruba man. Igbos has their own history entirely different from thosee two. |
