gregyboy: A four-letter word is what you are, sir. FOOL. Privileged fool. because there were instances of recorded war between Igala, Nupe and Benin, then Benin must have come originated from either of them .Tell us, which of the two conquered you, foist on you Oranmiyan, Eweka, Oba, iyaaba, Ogun, ailala Olokun and co? Nupe or Igala? 3 Likes |

babtoundey:. So all that education and sophistication you guys speak of is just the art of foul language and insult? How uncouth. Which war did anyone win to foist Oranmiyan on Benin? After winning a war against Benin, Oranmiyan still could not enter Benin City but resided in a village (Egor) outside Benin throughout? And it took three Obas later to get into center of Benin to erect the current palace? If you say you are educated, let it at least show in your manners. How can Benin originate from Nupe or Igala? On what cultural, royal tradition, philological or historical basis? Do you know that relationship between peoples are studied by experts? That for example The Fins are closely related to Hungarians and not their Nordic neighbours like the Danes and Swedes? Tribal hubris doesn't make anyone look smart these days. Knowledge is out there for those who truly seek it. Yes, it takes decades to do but worth it. It's one thing to be foul-mouthed on a anonymous forum. Making sense is another. 1 Like |

And it took three Obas later to get into center of Benin to erect the current palace? So there was Oranmiyan? Your Benin brother said there was never Oranmiyan in Benin history. Your account that he made it to a village in Benin contradicts his. "How can Benin originate from Nupe or Igala? On what cultural, royal tradition, philological or historical basis? Do you know that relationship between peoples are studied by experts?" I didn't say Benin Originate from Igala/Nupe, your brother said so. I was even questioning the claim. If you want clarification on how Benin came from Igala/Nupe, ask your brother. I'm sure he will be bold enough to educate you on that. It's one thing to be foul-mouthed on a anonymous forum. Making sense is another. It is funny and ludicrous you noticed I used uncouth words for this first time and took it to heart.

gregyboy:Oba Ewuare at his coronation in 2016 recognised Omonoyan/Oramiyan as the first Oba of the current dynasty. Previously because he wasn't really widely accepted as the King and because he left after some years, he wasn't considered the real founder of the dynasty but his son Eweka I who was born and bred in Benin land and only left the throne upon his demise. I am not going to disagree with what the Oba has decreed. Current Oba is a very thorough technocrat by training and prepared for the throne since birth. Historically the belief is that Oramiyan left Benin to found Oyo Kingdom. That for a long time made the Oba of Benin consider the Alaafin as a brother. Disagreements between both were quite rare. Though of course rivalry existed especially later as Oyo expanded to become an empire. 1 Like |

Greybog and AreaFada are two Edo's who I like because they are always here defending our history as a people. I know one thing for sure, we will never know everything, even till date people still doubt if Jesus even really walked this earth. As for Oronmiyan being the first Oba, I think he was crowned king even though he never sat on the throne, it is on this premise that the Present Oba made such declaration. We can't say Oronmiyan never existed in Benin history, one thing the Edo's do since they had no writing skills then, they preserved history through art and immortalizing person or things. The first moats dug around the city I think should be around siluko road. The siluko axis down to Udo have been a very old part of Benin. That's the axis where you have the Oliha palace, that the axis you have the Usama palace. The whole Uzama quarters is in that axis. Along that axis you have a place called Oronmiyan quarters. Down that axis you have Useh where Eweka played that game and got his name. Along that axis you have Egor village and down that axis you have Udo. So all these places are there for us to see. Am learning from you both sha. Oba GHA to kpere |

The early written records that mentionss Ife was during the early fourteenth century High Florescence Era when the well-known adventurer, historian and travelor[b] Ibn Battûta(1325–1354) them in his travelogue. Here we read (1958:409–10) that southwest of the Mâlli (Mali) kingdom lies a country called Yoûfi [Ife?] that is one of the “most considerable countries of the Soudan [governed by a] …souverain [who] is one of the[b] greatest kings.”[/b] Battûta’s description[/b] of Yoûfi as a country that “No white man can enter … because the negros will kill him before he arrives” appears to reference the ritual primacy long associated with Ife, in keeping with its important manufacturing and mercantile interests, among these advanced technologies of glass bead manufacturing, iron smelting and forging, and textile-production. Blue-green segi beads from Ife have been found as far west as Mali, Mauritania, and modern Ghana, suggesting that Battuta may well have learned of this center in the course of his travels in https://kwekudee-tripdownmemorylane..com/2014/09/ife-people-ancient-artistic-highly_14.html?m=1 4 Likes |

googi: Thank you for this comment. The fraudulent gregyboy has tried this "Nupe" misidentification of "Yufi" with me on another thread where I made him regret it by give him thorough flogging which made him run away quiet as usual. See the link to the reply here: https://www.nairaland.com/5761595/benin-kingdom-edo-state-remained/36#88487170 Thornton(1988) himself which he relies on for his bigoted identification of "Yufi" as "Nupe" only alludes to it cursorily. It wasn't like that was specifically what the paper was out to identify and address. Moreover, "Thornton specializes in West-Central African history (i.e. the Kongo-Angola polities) and their diasporas, and Nigerian history is a bit of a side-step from his main areas of focus." This is where is comparative strenght and interest lies --- that is, Central African military history. I have given him a classic work whose primary focus is on the identification of Ibn Battuta's "Yufi". He ran away quietly after finding out the truth, only to escape down here to continue peddling what he escaped from elsewhere. ![]() The work I cited clearly alludes to the popular misidentification of Ibn Battuta's "Yufi" as "Nupe" before then proceeding to clarify that "Yufi" (in West Africa) as documented by Ibn Battuta in the 1300s, is no other place than "Ufe" aka "Ife". gregyboy is only mad that his Ubinu, or Ubini, or Ibini didn't get noticed historically until a century later --- which is even by coincidence.

TAO11: They are exposed already. One will find it hard to believe that the same gregboy that is today shouting "no connection" believed otherwise just one or two months a go. How someone can be bold enough, to turn history and facts into Nollywood film in the making that can always be altered to suit the taste of the director, audience and producer is unimaginable. His findings tell him there was no connection between Benin and Ife yet it failed to tell him where Eweka came from and how he got the alien system they are proud of today. Even if you must ditch a lie, you must be very certain you have arrived at the truth that cannot be refuted so that you won't have to give the untenable excuse like "we are still making research" or "we are still in the process of working out where we came from". I won't be surprised if tomorrow he comes up with another joke which of course he will tag truth and facts. TAO11, You've done very well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AreaFada2: I am an Obaseki. My family great grand father Chief Agho Obaseki is Anioma. Anioma are Edo people. The mistake many Nigerians keep making is that you confuse your current ethnic decided with what was is the precolonial era. You guys should understand that Benin Kingdom was a large country with Benin city as it's capital just like London is the capital of England ! Would you consider the people of London to be an individual "tribe" of England ? No, the people of London are part of the people of England ! Many of them have ancestry spread all across England because the capital attracts people from all over the country. That is a common thing ! So there is a need to think deeply and stop confusing what we have today with what the situation was in the passed. P.S: Why don't you guys ever use precolonial maps in your speech ? On the following website, you will have several precolonial maps. https://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/64869/africae-tabula-nova-ortelius Use documents written by eyewitnesses rather than story story. You are a smart guy but, I keep wondering why you can't give up the oduduwa myth, the ogiso myth and the oranmiyan myth. |

gregyboy: Gregyboy, you are not the right person to tell anybody anything "bluntly". But since you insist on telling things bluntly to your brother. Let me tell you things bluntly: you are not very smart and many times what you say are an embarrassment to Edo. Although you are right when you say there was never an oduduwa nor an oranmiyan, there was also never an ogiso. You need to consult with others like Samuk and Davidnazee before some of your comments. They are smarter than you and on the same team as you ! That is me saying things bluntly. |
