Etrusen: I will be dwelling in such mystical talks, i know how mythical tales distort true history Ogiso never existed they were stories to make benin royal stool divine, idu, owodo they were obas and not ogiso Stop thinking of adding yorubas to our history because i know the izoduwa mythical history is what you're aiming at, You want to draw the battle there, and discuss myth with your fellow yorubas 1 Like |

gregyboy: this clearly show u are not a Benin person but pretending to be one. I purposely decided to write some words in old Benin in order know if you true but u failed because I sense your words and writing. but to prove my a words were genuine areafada replied me fluently and u that call your self a Benin historian can't do the same and that makes me to wonder how u can be able to translate what u don't understand and I even doubt if you can even speak the language. this is the problem of many historians today in Nigeria trying to do what they know what they know nothing about. please go and start afresh because Benin is deeper than u can imagine SIGN OUT |

Etrusen: I speak the language fluently, it would be a shame for me not to, I write and read the benin pidgin writing and not the standard writeups That doesnt not change anything, Youre speaking rubbish and tangling our history with myth made up after 1914 Drop your pride and learn the truth Face me clear and prove all this nonsense you're writing Prove them, here dont write any benin to me again write in English or send your voicenote in benin |

Etrusen: Ask them here, Stop talking myth ask me the question I have lot of questions to ask you I hope you wont be lazy to type yoruba man Just bcus u write and speak benin doesnt make u benin, i know many people who are not benin but they do, If you believe in the oromiyan myth so much yoy shouldnt be lazy to type,.... I hate the fact youre claiming benin and even to the palace and still youre insulting we benins with your weak debate Afar can you trace the oromiyan history through document If this rubbish myth have to stop then the palace must first stop circulating it, |

gregyboy: how did u manage to interpret some of the words although some of your interpretation are still wrong e.g the one you said "add some wisdom to mine" and the one you said "I will ask Oba Ewuare". it's like my test for u must have stressed u out and I guest u have trying this all day but there is always no harm in learning areafada was able to read and reply me completely using Edo language you can use wisdom to find your answer from his work. we have no problem bro but you have to understand that even when you are good there are people who have been there before you came no matter the age. Benin history has been my mine focus more than half of my life even at that I still have people I admire. one love bro. |
Re: Did You Know Of Benin by gregyboy(m): 11:56am On Sep 16, 2020 |
[b][/b] Etrusen: Doesnt also change the fact that all your life studying on the history is correct Benin had so many parable, relating to the heavenly beigns, but those were myth benin used to leave in different segmented settlement before oba eweka united all the settlement as one, maybe those various rulers were nickname ogiso sky kings but the emerge of eweka who probably was still an ogiso himself wared, with other ogiso and defeated them and formed a bigger Which probably emerged a new dynasty called oba This is the possible explanations if indeed the ogiso did exist which i doubt because no evidence to than oral accounts, It could also be those ogiso kings were called oba and not ogiso like what we are being told obagodo were word coined recently, to attack the yorubas , but one thing i know is if indeed ogiso existed and eweka displaced them, definitely eweka was never from any Yoruba land Start your benin research history from there, the problem with most of you is you so much believe oral accounts and you read not evaluate but believe as longs as it appeals to your like then it must be truth..... This screenshot was done in 1969 in relation of what you heard from elders in the 70s Am not impressed the way you tell history, your knowledge on benin history is too dogmatic

Re: Did You Know Of Benin by Kirigidi(m): 6:34am On Sep 20, 2020 |
Etrusen:Don't mind him! We Urhobo-Isoko are even more conversant with history of the Ogiso era than that of the Oba era. This is because much of our ancestors migrated down south during the Ogiso Dynasty and immediately after the collapse of the Ogiso Dynasty. By the time the Oba Dynasty was established Urhobo-Isoko ancestors were already settled in their present locations in the Delta. Ancient Udo town is the ancestral homeland/point of origin of the Urhobo-Isoko people. We mentioned Udo in our story more than any other community in that ancient region. And Ogiso Kings feature in our folklores more than Oba kings. From our folklores, Udo is older than the present Benin City, and Udo was probably the earliest capital of the Ogiso Kings. |

Re: Did You Know Of Benin by Kirigidi(m): 7:39am On Sep 20, 2020 |
gregyboy:Guy, I'm a pure Urhobo man. We know our history of migration. Ancient Udo was our ancestral town during the Ogiso era. The Binis are our ancestral brothers because we are all descendants of Idu. |
Re: Did You Know Of Benin by gregyboy(m): 7:59am On Sep 20, 2020 |
Kirigidi: Ok, so how do we know you guys migrated from ogiso era, what is the prove according to benins the ogiso ruled during the time of no sun or moon Udo was a rivalry town to benin and nothing more than that, the rivalry started during esigie and his elder brother aruhan Am still yet to fiquare why an urhobo is on a benin yoruba thread, when other edo are yet to have a say.... The moment we include you urhobo In edo republic you start reining hell on us..... If you're pretending to be urhobo you would be caught, soonest, probably you're a mixture of both yoruba and urhobo, you will be caught in no time Would you pardon me to give you a screenshot from edo website that says urhobo migrated during the oba reign, Or can you tell me what is unique in this urhobo culture that tells the urhobo ogiso migrated during the ogiso era |
Re: Did You Know Of Benin by Etrusen(m): 8:25am On Sep 20, 2020 |
gregyboy: Oga an Urhobo man have every right in the world to involve in this talk because they are ancestrally Edo speaking people he is making his point on how the Benin is you are arguing on no sun and moon udo has been in existence many years before Oba esigie and arhuan if you think udo started during esigie then it is funny |
Re: Did You Know Of Benin by Kirigidi(m): 8:30am On Sep 20, 2020 |
gregyboy:We Urhobo-Isoko have no business with the Yorubas; we are not related to those cowards. I'm surprised those cowards are laying claim to the establishment of the Oba Dynasty in Benin. How? Was it through war or the Benin people just surrendered themselves without a fight to be ruled by a Yoruba Prince? It sounds unbelievable because the Binis are known to be tough in battle and always proud of their independence! Furthermore, I haven't heard of any tribe the Yorubas have ever defeated in war during pre-colonial time. People who could not even defend Ilorin from the Fulanis because of their cowardice attitude, are now claiming to have founded the Oba Dynasty in Benin. As for Urhobos link to/ or history of the Ogisos that should be dealt with another time. 1 Like |

Etrusen: I never said udo started during esigie reign, scientific research carried out on both site benn and edo came out edo is older than udo The urhobo man should keep shut he has no fucking right to speak on edo history, people who will deny edo at the slightest opportunity I know you my friend is looking for the opportunity to put your ogiso myth, i will be waiting for you to bring prove..... You have all the time in the world, ogiso my foot |
Re: Did You Know Of Benin by RedboneSmith(m): 8:44am On Sep 20, 2020 |
If Ogiso is just a myth, how come stories of Ogiso are very widely known? Ogiso is ackowledged in far away Urhobo. And even in my axis in Anioma, the Ika people are conversant with Ogiso. We will be fooling ourselves to think the story has no historical basis. Archaeological work done on the Benin earthworks shows that they began before 12th and the 13th century when the Eweka dynasty started. This shows that the work of political centralization had begun in Benin before the time of Oba Eweka. And this fits with the tradition of a pre-Eweka dynasty in Benin, i.e., the Ogisos. 1 Like |

Kirigidi: The benin-ife myth was a political move made by eweka11 to unite both tribe through diplomatic myth...., the various yorubas also did this too and claimed one ancestory to ife for political reasons I have read benin history both oral, scientific, and various old writing document and am still reading, and am still thinking to correctly place benin history.... Etrusen, account is from purely oral account i bet if he had even decided to go against or questioned any of the oral accounts he had read Or even decided to research benin history from scratch all this i have done..... If as early as 1969 a European author could point out benin were altering their history then you must know there was really a distortion The more we read and research, the more we can place the correct history if we are to follow oral accounts alone, then when cant tell the correct history The scientific research carried out on udo and benin to discover the ogiso origin, turned out that benin is older than udo.... From the look of history, udo during the 1500 was not fully part of benin they maintained their own sovereignty, and they were rivalry towns to benin, until 1500, when war broke out between the two towns.... And benin fully occupied them to the kingdom We must be very careful telling history the most little information is very vital |
