travelwaka:Dude, forget this your legend. No history of any war with Benin never mind conquest. The writer of what you read smoked Oshogbo weed. Oduduwa was a Benin Prince banished from Benin. Till today Ooni still has to slaughter 7 black cows everytime before ever traveling to Benin. It is not because of crossing 7 hills and rivers to reach Benin. Are there no rivers and hills on the way to Abuja, Enugu, Lagos, London, America, etc? Why is he not mandated by tradition to kill black cows first before going to those places? Benin people ordinarily prefer to dey their own jeje. But you guys from Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Sky chain, Egypt, Nubia, and mountain all at the same time keep peddling silly legend.

mrugly: d first ruler of Ife (Oduduwa) was d first son of Ogiso Owodo by d name Ekaladerhan who wandered frm Udo town (capital of ancient Aka Kingdom) to escape injustice, nd at d end arrived in Ile-Ife where he was welcomed, acceptd nd finally made dia king. It was probably as a result of divinity displayd in his personality dat promptd d Yorubas ova whom he ruled to give him another name "Oduduwa". Rememba dat d Yorubas believd Oduduwa migrated frm d "east" to rule over them, nd Benin City is "east" Ile-Ife. . History of Benin Empire:- The original people and founders of the Benin Empire, the Edo people, were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who called their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings were commonly known as Ogiso. Igodo, the first Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace intrigue and battle for power erupted between the warrior crown prince Ekaladerhan son of the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left the royal court with his warriors. When his old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty was ended as the people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as natural next in line to rule. The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan, who was not known in Yoruba land, somehow earned the title of Oni Ile-fe Izoduwa which is now corrupt to yoruba language as Ooni (Oghene) of Ile-Ife Oduduwa and refused to return, then sent his son Oranmiyan to become king. Prince Oranmiyan took up his abode in the palace built for him at Usama by the elders (now a coronation shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Osa-nego, was the ninth Enogie (Duke) of Ego, by whom he had a son. After some years residence here he called a meeting of the people and renounced his office, remarking that the country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu (by which name the country was afterward known) and that only a child born, trained and educated in the arts and mysteries of the land could reign over the people. He caused his son born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in his place, and returned to Yoruba land Ile-Ife. |

EdoDefence: The truth is not every Edo person is a Bini person or from Bini Kingdom. If you're truly from the Bini kingdom forget your pride and ego and do take a trip home, then ask from the royals if there's any historical links between the yorubas and the Bini people. You will be shocked at what you will discover. The naratives these days is mere jostling for supremacy between the two. That's why each is claiming one came out of the other. If there's no link such stories won't come up. But who is trying to distort the story is another story. Do you ever asked yourself why the Bini kingdom and every Yoruba king is addressed as Oba? Oba means king, and all Yoruba kings are known as Oba but with a title like Alaafin, Ooni, Eleko(Lagos) etc while that of Benin is Onibini. People of Bini royal blood truly understand the relationship of the two kingdoms, unfortunately it's might be beyond the comprehension of the enemies of this great nations. Take your time to dig and see what you will come up with. 1 Like |

AreaFada2:You just poured out my mind. Leave these Youruba people who are bent on flaming the Ambers of tribalism between Binis and their tribe. If e set, you guys will run o Just like Oramiyan pick race and vamoose Igodomigodo. From tine immemorial, the Edo man likes doing things his own way jejely, but if you try to show him superiority be rest assured he will put you in your rightful position: which is nothingness. I'd advise my Yoruba brothers to face their fight with Arrewa and Igbos, just leave Edo man out of your wide mouth so you don't loose the little respect we have for you guys. A word is enough for the wise. 1 Like |

Aksnoopy: Pls get your facts right. The Modakekes are not slaves but descendants of great Yoruba warriors of mostly Oyo extraction. They left for Ife after the carnage visited on their land by the rampaging ILORIN army. It's natural that the then ruler of Ife offered them a parcel of land to settle. Afteral they are Yorubas, and yorubaland belongs to all Yorubas. The war between the two was a misunderstanding that was later resolved. The Modakekes may have tactical advantage over the Ifes cos they are born warriors like the people of Ibadan, while Ife has never been interested in wars not try to annex any other communities like other Yoruba kingdoms. That war is over and the bad blood has evaporated. 4 Likes |
