samuk: eeyah... You obviously can't connect words ... I see the oftrepeated Benin fear for reading. Having already mentionied too much Jokes in relation to Abdominal Pains, you still demanded clarifications and spoonfeeding to know that Jokes induce Laughter which, if too much, causes abdominal pains?? ?? ![]() ![]() Wow!!

gregyboy: Hahaha: see another cop-out. So that the picture can continously scream I am 1060 ... I am 1060 ... I am 1060 ?? ?? ![]() ![]() ![]() He initially claimed no such dating of an Ife art work exist. But as soon as the link (to the thread where the journal was attached) was provided. The music changed to ... oya let me see the picture of the artwork. Anyways, if an academic peer-reviewed journal article published in The Journal of African History publishes the dating of some Ife artefact going back to the year c.1060 we know it's so. We sane and stable people don't have any reason to trust gregyboy and forsake scholars. ![]() ![]() And we don't wait for pictures to talk. ![]() ![]() See reference one more time to the journal article that published the result: D.

TAO11: Without even knowing it, you are terribly in love with Benin. When the Benins revealed that they were exploring Benin relationship with the Niger Benue confluence area, you immediately reminded them that Ife used to be in that area, you even stated that there is a town there called Ife. You unwittingly claimed that the Yorubas came from the same area. I said wow, this babe is ready to move her almighty Ife in Osun state to Kogi state in other to show that the Ife the Benin are looking for was in Kogi. She is out to claim Benin for Ife by fire by force. You can only see the pain in Babaramota's reply when he read that the Benin are questioning the Benin/Ife relationship. Metaphysical hasn't been himself since and TAO11 is ready to move her Ife to anywhere the Benin looks. The Yoruba love and obsession with Benin is something else. 1 Like |

samuk: Nope! Another lie. I never told that to any Benin who was trying to live in Ryder (1965)'s past which has been trashed by scholars. Rather, I was in fact telling that to my Yoruba brother who tried to bring it up, that he needn't go that far. And that was the first and only time I alluded to it despite knowing it as a fact. I challenge you to point out where I had any such discussion with a Benin. Lair And the point was not that the Yoruba people descended from the Igala people (to correct your deliberate twisting), No! --- It's the other other way round. ![]() ![]() Guys wait oo, wait oo ... Is what I'm asking for too much that you all should stop lying?? Is it too much to ask from Binis?? ?? 1 Like 1 Share |

davidnazee: Come to think of it, how would they be able to tell their history without Benin and afford not fighting themselves or reigniting old animosities. Benin is the way they prevent themselves from retelling the history of how they used to kill themselves. Take Benin out of their history, you begin to hear how 1. Modakeke once sacked their almighty Ife. 2. How Ibadan conquered and enslaved follow Yorubas and sold them to the white man. 3. How Oyo once sacrificed other Yorubas to their gods. 4. Fights over disjointed versions of their history. So they desperately need Benin to avoid retelling these tales. |

TAO11: You are only confirming your obsession with Benin to hide your own civil wars including the wars other brought to you. Yoruba and their Fulani conquerors would be an interesting history. |
Re: Benin Kingdom In Edo State Remained Part Of The Expansive Yoruba - Ooni Of Ife by TAO11(f): 3:54pm On Apr 13, 2020 |
samuk: We never denied internal conflict. Even the Fulani fight was internal between a Yoruba army that aligned himself with them to help fight his own people. The fact that you often bring Yoruba internal crisis may give everyone the impression that Benin did not have civil war. Yes Benin did have civil war.

TAO11: No Great Benin wasn’t reduced to your shallow and foolish interpretation of “mere village”.. Scholars and historians agree that Benin only declined towards the end of 19th century due to British activities in the area. The civil wars only resulted in a temporary setback and loss of territories for Benin but it quickly recovered from it after the wars and regained its territories and dominance over your Yoruba ancestors till towards the end of the 19th century.. Go and read it, it’s in the archives. |
