OfoIgbo: You are saying rubbish and the video you posted was baseless in the first place. What are you trying to prove with the video? It is just one uninformed narrator claiming Oba of Benin is greater in rank than Ooni without any fact and he was clearly roasted in the comment section. I was expecting to see evidence to show Oba of Benin was greater but the video turned out to be the usual nonsense from uninformed people without any proof or reference to how he came about his claim. All I just showed you was the hierarchy in place in the picture of 1937. You can clearly see that the Oni was in the middle as the highest in rank among the Yoruba Obas and the Oba of Benin was equally seated in the picture. At least they never used rope to drag Oba of Benin to be part of the sitting and he clearly understood what the gathering was all about. I showed you pictures to back the claim while you showed the video of a narrator saying rubbish. |

Etinosa1234: The white man is just the Governor of Nigeria. You can clearly see that the Yoruba Obas were only taking pictures with the Governor normally and the highest in rank is the Oni of Ife based on the seating arrangement. The Oba of Benin sat willingly on his own and I don't see where they put rope around his neck to be part of the Yoruba Obas. |

Hellraiser77: He claimed the video he uploaded is about how the Obaship are ranked. Then I just showed him a picture of the sitting arangement and rank of what is clearly called (The Yoruba Obas). The Oba of Benin wa sclearly seated and you can see he was lower in ranking when compared to the Ooni. Now the wuestion should be, why did Ofoigbo uploaded the video in the first place? What is he trying to make us learn from the video? OfoIgbo: |

Insecure bush-children will not kill me. LegendHero, is this what you’ve been tolerating from bush-children?? ![]() (1) One of them still insisted that Awolowo (born 1919) was the one responsible for the documented statements of the 1850s and 1901. Interesting. I finally brought out the Nri-ness (i.e. dumbness) in these children. ![]() (2) I also see the bush-child trying to bring up the archaeology of Ife as the reason for Ife’s primacy among the Yorubas (perhaps after realizing how his AwOlOwO straw exposes his dumbness further). Can someone please inform the bush-child that the first archaeological excavation of Ife was in the year 1910 by Leo Frobenius, and as such post-dates the 1850s and 1901 documented statements about Ife’s primacy which I shared?? ![]() (3) Bush children, as expected, couldn’t possibly grasp the nuance of the statements from where the Johnson brothers tried to shift Yoruba’s capital to Oyo. The bush-child confused himself between cradle and capital. To educate the low-life bush-child as always, Oyo never at anytime claimed to be the cradle of the Yoruba people. ![]() (4) Regarding the YouTube videos, an independent, neutral and academic source (such as the British Museum documentary) which states very clearly that the Oba of Benin pays homage to Ife is obviously an authentic source of valid historical information than whatever defensive and insecure beer parlor tales emanate from Benin which is itself is the embarrassed party in this scenario. In case of doubt, see the documentary again one more time. Remember to go specifically to the time-stamp 48:22 — 48:38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQY_Jd--pwI Good luck! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Check Buhari well, have you ever seen him seat at the far corner in any official picture in Nigeria?

@LegendHero: In relation to the picture you shared, the actual title of the meeting (facilitated by the colonial governor) is “Conference of Yoruba Chiefs” — with the Oba of Benin as member. The report of the first one of these conferences held at Oyo on 31 March and 1 April 1937, notes in its introduction as follows: "The chiefs were seated in horse-shoe formation with the Oni of Ife, as head of the town from which all Yoruba have traditionally sprung, at the centre, and the Alafin of Oyo at the western and the Oba of Benin at the eastern end, an arrangement which gave general satisfaction." Refer to: "Conference of Yoruba Chiefs, Oyo, 31 March to 1 April 1937", mimeographed, p.1. During the second of this conference held at Ife on 16 and 17 March 1 1938, the question of permanent membership was raised, and after deliberation a list of permanent members was announced with the name of the Oba of Benin in third place after those of the Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo. Before the end of the conference, a proposal was made to extend the membership scope to include others from the Western Yoruba provinces. This proposal drew comment from the Ooni of Ife to the effect that this would create certain problems, including that of language. Then he said, 'We understand the Oba of Benin: he is one of us, and today we come together as the children of Odudua'" --- Refer to: "Conference of Yoruba Chiefs, Ife, 16 and 17 March 1938", mimeographed, p. 44. |

LegendHero: It was just a picture of those that addressed themselves as Obas (which btw, is originally an NRI title) in the western region. The oba Benin has spoken. True Benin people have spoken in both videos. The Ooni was a Benin prince that was sentenced to death. Alaafin was also a Benin man. Both thrones should really be paying homage to Oba Benin, just the same way the ancient Obas used to pay homage to the ruler of THE KINGDOM TO THE EAST OF BENIN, NRI. The Ooni and the Alaafin's ancestors are from Benin. The Oba, Ooni and Alaafin in order of seniority, should resume paying homage to the Eze NRI. What do you all think? |

OfoIgbo: Nope, it is not just a picture, it is a proof of statement showing that the Oni of Ife is the highest in rank among the Yoruba Obas while Oba of Benin is below him in ranking. Go back and read the description in the proceedings I uploaded and the text TAO11 showed! The oba Benin has spoken. True Benin people have spoken in both videos. The Ooni was a Benin prince that was sentenced to death. Alaafin was also a Benin man.So Alaafin is also a Benin man? Now I don't actually know what to say. Who is now a Yoruba man since Ooni and Alaafin are both Benin man? Both thrones should really be paying homage to Oba Benin, just the same way the ancient Obas used to pay homage to the ruler of THE KINGDOM TO THE EAST OF BENIN, NRI.You are saying nonsense yet again. TAO11 already lectured you multiple time about this and you should henceforth desist from saying rubbish like this on a public forum. The Oba, Ooni and Alaafin in order of seniority, should resume paying homage to the Eze NRI. What do you all think? Lol, hierarchy given by who?

LegendHero: This was majorly why the Benin oba was at the forefront of seeking the establishment of a Midwestern state, because Yorubas sought to dominate everything because of their population. I can guarantee that the Benin oba had no hand in branding himself a Yoruba. The Willink commission report properly detailed the Yoruba treatment of the western minorities. So I am not surprised that the Yoruba Obas who were many, ensured that the Benin oba was buried in a sea of Yoruba rulers. The Benin people properly spoke their mind, by leaving the western region and asserting their true identity. No Benin oba has ever told us he's under the OONI, who's even of Benin ancestry 3 Likes |

OfoIgbo: So the Yoruba Obas put rope on the neck of the Oba of Benin and dragged him to Oyo to identify as a Yoruba in the conference of Yoruba Obas? You are boring me with all these nonsense of yours. what is my own with Willinks? How does that correlate with this? What should we do with it? Benin people themselves are not useful to me, infact I am not interested in Benin or what they represent. That was why I initially told you on the early page of this thread that both Igbo, and Benin history or culture is none of my concern. So don't think Benin is that useful to me! However since you initially dubiously uploaded a video saying it showed hierarchy, i had to include the image of the Oba to counter your ridiculous claim to put you in the place you deserve. 1 Like |

OfoIgbo:Excuses! Excuses!! and more Excuses!!! Mid-western state or what did I just hear you bush-child say?? (Please bear in mind that Wester Region itself was founded in 1939) The attachment below shows a quotation of the account collected by Captain Ernest Roupell from the Benin palace in the year 1897. As it is shown clearly, the Binis themselves (without any Yoruba pointing a gun at their head) informed the British captain that their first King (Eweka1) was a Yoruba man from Ife. — Captain Roupll’s Officials quoted in H. Ling Roth (1903), p.7. The specific details they narrated to the British by themselves (as at that year 1897) is quite different from how the Yoruba traditions put it. But at least they were honest enough to admit early to the Oyinbo man that their first king was a Yoruba man from Ife. cc: LegendHero 2 Likes 2 Shares
