Which war did Benin ever fight Are you people joking or confusing Dahomey with Benin? Even their existence in Lagos was because Oyo and Ife princes went to call them to come and take their share. They never fought any kind of war please. Maybe skirmishes with Esan villagers. You people are funny . Oyo fought Fulani, fought Nupe, fought Hausa, fought Dahomey, fought within themselves. All this while Benin people were hiding in their fortress. When you talk war please do t mention Benin again ever! Benin was just a pass through for travelers/migrants from the West into the SS and East. It was like a hub, that is the reason why it was successful. Nothing like subjects there, except the areas where Benin Princes went to establish. All within the small area of SS and one state in SE 7 Likes 1 Share |

That ur nonsense claim of ijebu driving Benin has been debunked on this thread that u shamelessly ran away... https://www.nairaland.com/6142177/lagos-part-western-nigeria#94297117 The Benin Empire started in the 15th century.... The Portuguese hadn't come then.. so stop using baseless claims of guns as an excuse of Benin Empire Besides how was Oyo Empire more successful when it ended earlier than Benin as a result of internal struggles...

Etinosa1234: In the days of Alaafin Ojigi and Basorun Gaha Oyo ruled over Benin including Benin City And yes Ijebu drove Benin out of Lagos in the 19th Century that is why Isale Eko is all that Oba of Lagos has let as his domain ( about 1 square mile of Lagos) . Ijebu own and rule over more more than 300 square miles of Lagos... Go and read the Osifekunde's 19th Century Slave narrative to confirm that Ijebu defeated and drove Benin out of Lagos and took back the Land from them

baby124: BOTH DAHOMEY AND BENIN , OYO RULED OVER. ""This King ( Alaafin Ojigi) in order to show his undisputed sovereignty over the whole of the Yoruba country, including Benin, sent out a large expedition which struck the Niger in the north, near the Ibaribas, (Niger State) and coasted along the right bank until they arrived at the coast and returned to Oyo by the Popo country (Dahomey). Great exploits were reported of the leaders."" Alaafin Ojigi ruled over all the territory on the right bank of River Niger from the Lower Bariba Country (Niger State) , all the right bank of lower River Niger all the way to the Coast and along the Sea Coast to the Popo Country in Dahomey. cc: TAO11, Olu317,LegendHero, MinorityOpinion, BabaRamota 3 Likes 2 Shares

Let me shock you even more: Ashanti and the Ga of Ghana paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo in the days of Basorun Gaha That partly explains how and why Basorun Gaha the Prime Minister became such an arrogant king maker ,king destroyer and tyrant . Basorun Gaha may be the reason why Yoruba's hate but can wait patiently to outmanoeuvre despotic rulers. It cost 4 Alaafins their lives before the 5th Alaafin Abiodun outsmarted him and finally killed him burning. him to ashes. He controlled all the territory from the West Bank of River Niger all the way to and including the Ashanti of Ghana and all the Coastline . The territory was bounded in the North by the River Niger of the Bariba Country (Niger State) ccOlu317 ccTAO11 14 Likes 7 Shares

It's really obvious that there exist a big space of hatred in your heart towards the Benin's. What really your definition of civilization? U made mention of low intelligence quotient(IQ) and low self esteem,I blv Alaffin of Oyo is a patient to that illness,y such an old man and his household dey bleach,probably the gods order him to?, or he was ashame of his original skin colour (low self esteem)? All over the world Benin is still been refer to as an ancient city the cradle of black civilization and u come here to claim glory of the copy and paste civilisation of a western television, u also mention how the then Western region exploited Benin to their own advantage.u are so funny, b4 d coming of the white man system of govt who exploited who, as far as otun in ekiti,where was Oy0,y e no protect his brother's...

Dartilo:Just shut that your smelling mouth just like that of oba of Benin Benin and civilization can never be used in the same sentence As you can see the records are there, first tv station, first private tv, first university, first university teaching hospital, first research institute, first dualized road. All these started right in Ibadan in Oyo state No one knows your foolish oba of Benin apart from deranged myopic oloriburuku idiots from Edo state like you and alayebaje edeyoung. Your oba of Benin controls just 500,000 people at most and no one regards him outside Edo state unlike the great Alafin of Oyo Just tell me one good thing backward Edo state and the weak inconsequential Benin is known for. Just mention one thing aside armed robbery(Benin trademark) and prostitution Even cultism idiotic Benin youths like you do today started in Ibadan but people in Ibadan are wise to drop of cultism unlike low iq Edo indigenes who are proud cultists which validates that typical Edo youth is senseless just as their inconsequential olofo elenu shipoti alayebaje oba of Benin Other youths dey find money, Edo youth still Dey do cultism 2 Likes |
