I’m not sure how you read my comments though.

I never asked if you’re afraid. I was getting to know if you have a question.

But it’s all good that you said you’re now okay.

Bye-bye, abeg.

See speech just because I call am insecure

Weil on Mr Igodo!

Your tales by moonlight is becoming so irrelevant as you and your ilks are confused and can't even agree on one beer parlour's tales you call Bini history...

If I asked you now, who is the first oba of Bini? or what do you know of Ekiokpagha treaty or the meanings of Ogun, Aiyelala, Umole, etc you don't know! And you call yourself Bini historian?

However, it would be nice if you all meet and agree on one story before you confront TAO11 that has been giving intelligent responses and great submissions. I believe she spares from her precious time to respond for posterity.

Christistruth00:
From the Yorubas Obas conference 1937 proceedings
Hosted by Sir Bernard Boudillon Governor General of Nigeria
on 31st March and 1st April 1937



Quoting last paragraph of first page:

“The Chiefs were seated in a horse-shoe formation, with the Oni of Ife ,as the head of the town from which all Yorubas have traditionally sprung at the centre ,and the Alaafin of Oyo at the western and the Oba of benin at the eastern end, an arrangement which gave general satisfaction.”



CC TAO11 ,Macof ,Olu317, Legendhero

Yes, you are right about arrangement. Although, Bini's over written egocentrism account remained the reason for false information , being peddled by their e-warriors. But I am not
perturbed.


Respect and cheers,
Olu

Insecure soul... I thought u said u dont respond to Benin tales again... See as u contradict ur self... Its ur insecurity that's making u to jump back on the thread after saying u won't respond

Boy, who is the first Oba of Bini?

What is Ekiokpagha treaty?

What is the meaning of Ogun?

When you can respond to this in detail with fact, I can school you a little; I don't normally respond to kid like you.

Oga Tao11 has done nothing to keep me out of answers u can ask her for your self.
I am not among those that can't prove what they argue except I want to be quiet for some reasons or when the opponent take it insulting then I will distance myself.

gregyboy:
1. Oba of Benin
Some say that the Oba of Benin, or Omo N’Oba, is the highest traditional ruler in Nigeria as he wields influence over the Edo people and is a popular figure in Nigeria. He heads the historic Eweka dynasty of the Great Benin Empire. It is also said that the Yorubas in Nigeria descended from the Benin people, hence the tittle Oba is being used to mean a king. The title of Oba was first created by Oba Eweka I, Benin Empire’s first ‘Oba’, who ascended power between 1180 and 1300. His son, grandson and now his great-grandson, Ewuare II were traditional rulers of Benin in modern-day Nigeria.it is to be noted that The oba benin would not be totally regarde as a Yoruba oba from historical viewpoints, but due to the fact that oba of benin for political reasons in the past regarded himself as one, on the bases of Diplomacy and friendship we have no choice than to honour it and regard him as one, the oba of benin rule extended to the present ogun state, lagos, ekiti oyo, osun and ondo tho much of his influence were minimum in some states lije oyo, osun and ogun but that would not be true for the others oba ghat to kpere ise......


2. Ooni of Ife

The Ooni of Ife is the most powerful king in Yoruba land. The current Ooni of Ife is Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi . According to the Alake of Egbaland, the Ooni is the first of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland just like the Sultan of Sokoto is the highest ruler in the northern part of Nigeria. This is because his supremacy dates back to the origin of the Yoruba tribe. He is also one of the most influential figures in Nigeria and he recently married Queen Morenike Naomi Oluwaseyi, a prophetess.


3. Alaafin of Oyo
He is the second in line in the ranking of Yoruba monarchs in Nigeria, Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III was born 15 August 1938 and he is the current Alaafin, or traditional ruler, of the Yoruba state of Oyo and righful heir to the throne of its historic empire. His dynasty dates back to the old Oyo empire which recognizes him as the emperor of the Oyo empire. He is among the list of the richest Yoruba king in Nigeria


.4. Alake of Egbaland
Fourth on the list of ranking of obas in Yorubaland is the Alake of Egbaland . He is the paramount Yoruba king of Egba, a city in Abeokuta, Ogun State, southwestern Nigeria. Egba consists of Egba Alake, Owu kingdom rule by the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oke-Ona and Gbagura. He was the one who cleared the air concerning how the monarchs in Yoruba land should be ranked starting from the Ooni of Ife to the Awujale of Ijebuland.


5. Awujale of Ijebuland
He is the least on the list of 5 powerful obas in Yoruba land. His kingdom, Ijebu (also known as Jebu or Geebu) was a Yoruba kingdom in pre-colonial Nigeria. It was formed around the fifteenth century. According to legend, its ruling dynasty was founded by Obanta of Ile-Ife. The current Awujale of Ijebuland is Sikiru Kayode Adetona.

There is a recent tussle as to who is superior between the Oba of Lagos and the Ooni of ife (Yoruba Emperor). This should not be so as history backs the Ooni as the most superior paramount ruler of the Yoruba speaking people.

How do you even know that am from kwara state bro?
Am definitely more yoruba than you of you don't know.

Why should it be only ife and benin who should be having conversation here when obas from various other yoruba regions seems to be listed in the OP?

Once again oba of bini is not a yoruba king and can't be the first on the list.
The op needs to understand this.

If oba of benin is removed fron the list then the number one should be alafin for me and not ooni

Your not even a yoruba yet wants to decide which yoruba king should come first. Smh

I don't really care anymore about who comes first in the list but please and please just remove oba of bini from that list cause he's no yoruba Monarchy.

I made my own clear from 2011. In fact my plan was to be a bridge between both sides. As a person at home on both sides.

But our SW people easily insulted and cursed at anyone that had an opinion different from their own. That shifted my position and hardened. I do not like dictators or those who have no respect for others. Respect is not by dobale. That can be hypocrisy if you then go past him five metres and say ma da loun.

Same way I became a big supporter of President Jonathan when I saw how SW people demonized anything, no matter how good, innovative or timely, the act was.

You guys are something else, if i ever be half yoruba i would be so shy to air it publicly

Tribes of coward, and inborn slaves to d fulanis

I only said that to pull a stunt on that guy

Am a full blooded benin.... An i also pray to take upon a bini lady,.....

So my family will take years before another tribe will dilute it,
