TAO11: Shut up there. He is not a historian, he is just another foolish revisionist like you bringing another confusing account about Ife history pushing Ife further in mythology rather than reality.. |

OgboAto: If Oduduwa was Osin Ora like u said, when did his name change from Osin Ora to Oduduwa, why is he called Oduduwa and not Osin Ora? Is oduduwa is middle name, surname or title? Why is he known as oduduwa and not Osin Ora? I know u will say his name was Osin Ora Oduduwa Adebola |

gregyboy: So you are the freak saying Benin is from Nupe and Igalah. Are you not informed that the original Ife is not the Ife we have now, and that in the old Ife there was one nation and everyone else branched out from the common source as their origin? So if you are from Igala Ife is not your mate. You are from a group who has claimed that they are cousins to Yoruba Ife. Why do I need to care if you come from Yoruba or not? The ones in Igalah you claim to come from say they have allegiance to Yoruba. Look at how you guys have rubbished your history on internet. Very tragic! 1 Like |

BabaRamota1980: I did not even want to go into the old Ife argument yet with them. Little did these guys know that the Niger-Benue confluence that Ryder (1965) suggested (although wrongly) as the Ogane's kingdom was with Ife in mind. He argued with many citations that Old Ife used to be in the Niger Benue confluence, and that's true. All scholars agree. Till date there is till an Ife in Idah. Their key deity is called Olojo. Their king goes by the title Onu. But the strong point scholars brought up against Ryders suggestion of the 1400 Ogane being there is that, as at the time d;Aveiro documented in the late 1400 today's Ife had been established many centuries earlier. |

TAO11: So if u agree that old Ife was in Niger Benue confluence and u say it was Yoruba then u mean Yoruba originally came out of Niger Benue area, idah to be precise?? More confusion and contradictions from the Yorubas. You guys are a lost race. But I wish you luck as u try to discover ur roots. U probably came out of Enugu. |

TAO11: See this fool. Are u not the one that said old Ife is in idah. or u are quick to loose ur sense? Keep looking for ur origin.. u won’t find anything because even your ancestors don’t know their origin. Yoruba history started with Oduduwa when he arrived from Mecca. |

TAO11: Shut up and read this article from one of your uncles... An editorial by a renowned Yoruba professor and historian. Vanguard (Lagos) EDITORIAL July 7, 2004 Posted to the web July 7, 2004 The origin of the Benin and Yoruba empires of old have come to the fore and they have been subject of intense debate. No doubt the origins of the two empires are obscure being deeply buried in legend and mythology and it is not easy to say what amount of history or the amount of embellished history they contain. In truth these traditions which on the surface try to account for the origin of these empires are perhaps little more than ideological chatters legitimizing the political systems, traditions, cultures, etc. of the people. This general position not withstanding, it is worthy of note that the Benin through their well renowned Arts and Craft recorded their history and event in addition to the account of the guild of oral recorders. The most contentious of this debate for now, however, is the Benin-Ife historical connection. Many historians and social anthropologists especially the Yoruba historians have been greatly impressed by the tradition that the Yoruba Kingdom fathered the second Benin empire. According to Prof. A.B.Aderibigbe, "obviously there is an attempt in this story to gloss over what in fact was an alien imposition." Along the same line, Prof Michael Growder said that this tradition could be "a convenient legend to disguise what in fact was a conquest by the Oduduwa party". Here however, the following points are worthy of note: First the Ife-Benin connection has been vigorously questioned by Prof. A.F.C. Ryder. He had pointed out that this tradition which seeks to connect Benin with Ife is suspect. He argues that throughout four centuries of contact between Benin and various European nations, in particular Portugal, there was no hint or reference to this relationship between the two empires. The tradition was not mentioned or recorded by any writer until after the British occupation of Benin in 1897. He also pointed out that the city of Ife is believed to be younger than Benin and therefore could not have fathered the second Benin Empire. Second, according to Prof Ryder, by 1485 Benin was an impressive and large city. Judging by the evidence of European visitors, it was perhaps the largest and most impressive city which the Portuguese saw along the west coast of Africa. Recent archaeological evidence would seem to indicate that Ife was built probably not before the first decade of the 16th century while the capital of old Oyo, Yatenga, was built much later. This would seem to show that the complex political system of the Yoruba which the Benin Kingdom is believed to have descended must have originated much later than the Benin Kingdom. Third, much of the evidence which is believed to corroborate the claims made in the traditions comes from enthnohistory, that is, historical speculations based on assumed logical sequence of development in the political system. This is most unreliable. By the 15th Century, the Benin Kingdom had achieved the height of its greatness. It remained the most powerful and the largest Kingdom in the forest region of West Africa until about the end of the first half of the 17 century. During these two centuries of its ascendancy Benin empire stretched as far west as Lagos, Badagry and Whyidah (Dahomey). On the north-west it stretched as far as Ekiti, Akure and Owo. Towards the north, it stretched to Ishan Country and the southern position of Idah. Finally on the east it incorporated at various times various portions of Ika-Ibo and as far as the River Niger. Prof. Biobaku has suggested that the eastern fringe of what is now Yorubaland was in pre-Yoruba days thinly inhabited by the ancestors of the modern Benin people, a people which he called the Efa. And if recent archaeological evidence would seem to indicate that Ife was built not before the first decade of the 16th century thereby making it to be younger than Benin, then the Oranmiyan tradition has been miscon-strued and the Benin version (The Oba of Benin's version,), not Egharervba's version, becomes more tenable. 1 Like |

gregyboy: You're so bitter. Tell me why!! If you tell me I will talk to the Igala/Nupe people to please accept you as their slave. Your application will be granted. And the only reason why I've been requesting your parents (and not you) to talk to me is not to insult them. I'm doing that only because Im sure you must be dvmber than them. |
