Etrusen: The yorubas are lovely people is just Tao11 soiling them with hate and her obsession, the other outside culture thread knows benin historically suppressed their weak ancestors On real ground if you mention youre bini to a Yoruba man they would never want to see your anger I forget to do a screenshot on the yoruba hebrew thread when a Yoruba guy accepted the word oba is originally binis Do you know what she said when i showed her, she was speechless and claim, if the yoruba giy who admitted it was an author from dat dayi just know she just an afonja The real yorubasl dont tell lies She is just Obassed we bleeped her ancestors up |

Etrusen:Etrusen: Where is Oduduwa from? Me: He is a Yoruba man from Ife. Etrusen: Haha! You see, you didn’t answer my question. Me: [Rolls my eyes] I did. ![]() See the screenshot of where you quoted the answer. Etrusen: Oh sorry! Cancel that. That’s not my question anymore. My question now is: Do you agree with your own answer that he is from Ife? Etrusen (again): Oh wait! Let’s go back to my actual question — the one I asked to be cancelled: You didn’t write the word Y-E-S or N-O; therefore, I should have insisted that you didn’t answer my question. Me: For the new question: Yes, I agree with my answer that he is from Ife. LMAO! Now back to your cancelled question as you’ve requested: In English language, the word “yes” (in this context) has exactly the same 100% meaning as the phrase “he is a Yoruba man from Ife”. ———————— It’s tough engaging a dullard.

Re: Benin Remain The Center Of West Africa Civilization by Nobody: 1:30pm On Dec 07, 2020 |
Oduduwa is a myth, he never existed, he was created by people who knew how gullible nigerians are. Lack of education makes some people in nigeria to still believe there was an oduduwa. It is just a made up story ! Basically many nigerians lack the ability to think logically. They are ready to believe any cook and bull story without even asking for proof. This is one of the reasons rumors spread easily in nigeria, low IQ, lack of education... There was never an oduduwa ! |

Etrusen:Lol and Smh! He finally gets it. Sighs! ... It’s been a long day. Basic stuffs really have to be broken down for dullards. but you can start by providing the ife account the says he was a Yoruba manI have just finished the part A by showing you where I answered your question that Oduduwa is a Yoruba man from Ife. Now, part B is to show you where I already cited the Ife account that says so. Follow this link to page 5 where I already cited the Ife account in details. Read the comment while your eyes is open: https://www.nairaland.com/6291440/benin-remain-center-west-africa/4#96807302 just like tollboy you people want to make it look as if life started in ifeWhat is “you people” ?? Is that the name of a Chinese food?? LMAO! ![]() Well, stop feeling inferior over nothing. I actually can’t remember mentioning anywhere that life started in Ife. To read up on the scientific position on this specific topic, refer to the link below to another thread where I discussed it in details: https://www.nairaland.com/6286709/ijebu-vs-jebusite/8#96733169 please let's start by you providing the account or better still where the ooni of ife said oduduwa was an ife manWell, It has already been provided to you on page 5 — even with detailed referencing. You quoted the answer while still ranting that your request has not been provided. See the penultimate link for the comment, and read the quotations with your eyes open this time around. please I hope its not difficultThe only difficulty I see is the difficulty of making use of your eyes.

Etrusen: bonjovi787: Why do you continue in this line ? What does the words the ooni of ife said about a fictional character (oduduwa) change in the fact oduduwa never existed ? Please elevate your thinking, all this is rubbish. Stop debating about the life of a person who never existed. For all those who keep debating oduduwa, I hope you know that this is the kind of debate you are having: Where did batman come from: was it ife or Benin city of gotham city ? What about spiderman ? Did he come from ife ? What about hercules and aquaman ? Did they come from Benin city ? |

samuk: I do not dispute the founding or diversity of these regions... however, apart from Igede they had majority Igbo populations who were not under direct rule from The Benin Kingdom. Yes Benin also had great influence with her neighbours, but that does not mean Benin was all powerful. The Benin expedition of 1897: it took the British 9 days to conqueror this so called "empire"... with just over 1000 men who were mostly local conscripts. |
Re: Benin Remain The Center Of West Africa Civilization by Etrusen(m): 1:42pm On Dec 07, 2020 |
bonjovi787: bro she said he was an ife man I only want her to bring an account where the ooni said oduduwa was an ife man the thing is even if oduduwa does exist, different account have said oduduwa came from somewhere but she said oduduwa is from ife then let her prove it with my question. |
Re: Benin Remain The Center Of West Africa Civilization by Nobody: 1:42pm On Dec 07, 2020 |
Abovebonny: What do you mean by "influence" ? It seems to me that you deniers of the passed have coded the word "influence" I guess nigeria only has influence over the 36 nigerian states. Is the map below what "influence" looks like It is weaird how you guys keep boasting about how "easily the uk defeated Benin empire". I would have you reminded that nomatter how easily the uk defeated Benin empire, your people were under Benin empire and paid tribut to the Oba of Benin. I would understand your boasting about british war exploits against Benin empire if you were british or white or a racist white, but you are a black man ! a black man whose ancestors paid tribute to the Oba of Benin ! And for your info, your details are totally wrong. The british attacked Benin city directly, they didn't face the entire empire and they had maxim guns (maxim guns) and all sorts of weapons which would devaste regions in ww1. The maxim gun alone is credited for making it possible for europe to colonize africa. The british had 1200 marines and a bunch of black canon fodders. Benin empire and its capital Benin city didn't have the firepower which the british had. But even the british who fought said it was a hard fight and they were happy to have made it out alive.

Wonderful! ![]() ![]() Anyways, a Yoruba friend asked me to inquire about the historicity of these men: Eweka 1, Uwakhwuahen, Ehenmihe, Ewedo, Oguola, Edoni, Udagbedo, Ohen, Egbeka, Orobiru, Uwaifokun, Ewuare 1, Esegie, and many others.

Etrusen: I fail to see the point in discussing if a made up character like spiderman oops oduduwa came from ife or not. I fail to follow your logics. If someone claims spiderman came from enugu, would you be asking him to prove it ? |
Re: Benin Remain The Center Of West Africa Civilization by Etrusen(m): 1:48pm On Dec 07, 2020 |
TAO11: in page 5 you said ife tradition says he is an ife man but am asking you to bring any article where the ooni said he was originally from ife or you can also bring any account this one nor hard now |
