The word official means approved by authority... The Story that Ekaladerhan is Oduduwa has been approved by Benin authorities ie Akenzua and Erediauwa... That makes it the official story of the origin of the Oba of Benin.. Not the fuss u are spewing here... Pls what makes Cyril punch story official when not accepted by authority? What was Cyril sources sef if not from the same Benin people... Oral traditions vary in communities... The Yoruba Muslims believe Oduduwa came from Mecca, the Yoruba traditionalist believe he came from the sky. Even in Benin history, there are different accounts as to the death of Ewuare 1, the story of emotan, the story of Arhuan and this stories get altered as time goes on What makes an oral history accepted is when it is accepted by most people of which the ife story is not So Cyril story is not valid especially as there was no known written work where he got his story from apart from the oral stories which can be twisted depending on who is saying it Samuk |

[quote author=samuk post=97599440][/quote] All these story to fuel your Ego war is normal thing in Yoruba land ,we fight among ourselves we kill ourselves we are dreaded warriors , If Benin fought with Ado ekiti and conquer them is normal phenomena. Even Rome was defeated by Germanic barbarian tribe.. Benin should have gone for the Ijebus kingdom atleast it would showed their strength and military capability .i know Even Benin suffered lot of defeat from the Igala s |

Obalufon: Lmao.. let's use ur logic... As great as the Oyo Empire was, why didn't they fight and defeat the Fulanis... It would have shown their military capability instead of fighting who they knew they could defeat ordinarily |

Etinosa1234: Gbam, what more can I say, don't mind the yeye girl, she wants to promote one version of oral history that have no eyewitness evidence over another. The Oduduwa story is nothing but oral history that can't be backed up with eyewitness historical evidence. Who was there that documented Oduduwa life. The Yoruba know they have no history, that's why they are now forcing the Benin to come down to their level to start discussing oral history. |
Re: Oni Was A Chief Priest by Etinosa1234: 1:50am On Jan 01, 2021 |
Obalufon: Lol I've read it... only the surface tho and here's what I saw The Oyo Empire was defeated by the Nupe and borgu in the year 1789 and 1783 respectively The Dahomey decisively defeated the Oyo Empire in 1823 and continued making raids in the kingdom The Fulani collected Ilorin from you using ur own people, besiged Offa and destroyed the capital of the Oyo kingdom Oyo ile Is there anything I should know abt the invincible Oyo kingdom? |

Re: Oni Was A Chief Priest by TAO11(f): 1:58am On Jan 01, 2021 |
samuk:This has been debunked in my foregoing comment. 2. Some of you here are parroting Ife as your new homes because you no longer know where you originally descended from in African because of the circumstance in which your ancestors found themselves in Nigeria amongst the south western people of Nigeria.I see flood of tears! Anyways, Ife is our shared cradle of Yoruba civilization -- because we are Yorubas. And in addition to being a Yoruba (Awori & Ijebu) whose cradle of civilization is Ife, my mother is a princess of Ile-Ife. Yes, I know the foregoing information would definitely move you to tears because you are not possibly born of royalty; and as such you’re are bonafide slave of the Yoruba-Oba of Benin. Yes, “slave of the Oba” is the ‘proud’ title which every Bini man and woman must bear for being unrelated to the non-Bini Yoruba-Oba dynasty who rules over Benin Kingdom. 3. Most original people or owners of south western Nigeria don't subscribe to Ife or Ooni supremacy, this is still evidence today. After almost 100 years of the political creation of Ife as the cradle of Yoruba nation, …Oh wait! You’re still hung up on this your 100 yEaRs pOliTicAl cReAtiON after you quietly soaked in the disgrace only a couple of days ago?? LMAO , the Ooni and Ife is still struggling to gain any recognition from the Oba of Lagos, Awujale of Ijebu, Olugbo, etc, the superiority of the last Ooni was never recognised by the AlaafinWhatever personal tussle these Obas have with specific occupant of the Ife throne rather than with the Ife throne itself is counter-discourse. It is clear from their respective ancestral histories, textual evidence and old photographs that the Ife throne is the origin and root of their respective thrones. What is incomparable is that within Benin City in itself right under you Oba's nose; the Ogimie family has refused till date to acknowledge the supremacy of your Oba. Moreover, the Enogie of Ologbo has also publicly undermined your Oba. Let’s not even talk about the Ijaws in Edo State. 4. If Ife was genuinely the cradle of Yoruba civilisation and not a concocted and fabricated lie, there wouldn't have been supremacy tussle amongst south west monarchs.You mean if Benin was truly paramount there would have been no questioning of its authority right under your Oba's nose within the same city from olden times?? Is this what you have in mind?? Lol! 5. The supremacy of the Benin monarch is not being questioned by any monarchy in the entire south south Nigeria because Benin is real while Ife is a fake political imitation.“Repeating my lies many, many times will eventually cause my gullible Benin people to believe me” ~ Samuk, 2020. Moreover, the Itsekiris and Ijaws within Edo state as well as the Ogiamie family under your Oba’s nose have all publicly undermined and ridiculed your Oba’s alleged hegemony. 6. All Oba of Lagos from present to previous sees the Oba of Benin as their royal father not the Ooni. They see themselves as Benin descendants not Ife.FALSE! Regarding the part of Oba Akiolu’s interview (which the Binis have clung to as a source of hope, at the expense of his disclaimers); the statement here (on a closer and more careful consideration) does not actually say what it has been assumed all along to have said. The Oba’s specific statement in question at timestamp 5:00 of the official video (or timestamp 0:12 of the Binis edited video) says and I quote here as follows: “The first ‘Oba’ of Lagos is a male descendant of Oba of Benin”. To examine this statement closely and strictly as you would want us to, this specific statement does not necessarily refer to Ashipa as it has been assumed all along. It could plausibly be in respect of Ado his son. (1) It is not uncommon that both Ado and Ashipa are often equivocally at different times regarded as the first king — just as it is not uncommon with Oranmiyan and Eweka among the Binis. At an instant in the traditional narratives, Oranmiyan and Ashipa are each simply regarded as progenitor and not Oba. In the same breath, at other instants in the traditional narratives, each is both progenitor as well as Oba. (2) Furthermore, the phrase Oba Akiolu used, viz. “male descendant” actually has nothing to do with what we’ve assumed it to mean all along. The phrase is not the same thing as “patrilineal descendant”. “Male descendant” simply recognizes the child to be a descended son from an ancestor — the ancestor being a Benin Oba in this case. Nothing is said about the son’s mother or father. The descent from the Benin Oba could have been through his own mother or through his own father, in either case of which he is still a “male descendant” of the Benin Oba. In the light of this closer examination and scrutiny, it becomes obvious that Oba Akiolu’s reference in his own specific statement here is to Ado the son of both Ashipa (the Yoruba progenitor of the Eleko dynasty) and his Bini queen. Having exposed the foregoing, it now becomes more obvious why Oba Akiolu could have issued a disclaimer (at timestamp 5:45 of the official version of the interview — embedded below with Channels TV logo) declaring that Lagos does not belong to Benin Kingdom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOsp9VLRFno In order to hide this particular disclaimer issued by the Oba, the Binis went through the stress of downloading this original video from Channels TV's YouTube page and editing out the parts containing the disclaimer. They then proceeded to upload their edited version to a private YouTube account from where they’ve copied the YouTube link and pasted to Nairaland to further promote their business of deception. Lol. Notice the Channels TV logo on the official and original version from Channels TV YouTube page which I posted above. Compare that to the Rubik's cube logo on their own edited version (from their private account) as shown below. The Benin fraud didn’t begin today, and it’s probably not ending anytime soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvaiC_djW8o ———————— For references to the Lagos account, see the following: (1) Rev. J. B. Wood, Historical Notices of Lagos, West Africa, 1878. (2) Rev. J. B. Losi, History of Lagos, 1914. (3) and Sir Alan Burns, History of Nigeria, 1929. I have repeatedly posted a screenshot of the relevant page from Sir Alan Burns' work on the Lagos account which is said by Robert Smith to be based on the first two. 7. You will hardly see real Ife here on nairaland debating what they know to be lies. Only the wannabe without historical roots are here parroting Ife fabrications and lies.“Repeating my lies many, many times will eventually cause my gullible Benin people to believe me” ~ Samuk, 2020. 8. Yoruba can only try to sell theirs lies to those that don't know or have history. Benin itself is history others study and the average Benin person is very much at home with history and can't be intimidated and cowed by insults from nitwits without historical roots.“Repeating my lies many, many times will eventually cause my gullible Benin people to believe me” ~ Samuk, 2020.

TAO11: Can you see why I said the Yoruba and especially you Tao is not smart. You come up with your nonsense citations and references knowing that most people don't examine them. I have just gone through your so called year 2000 translation of a supposed 16th century Islamic text and found references to Ade Ajayi and Ajayi Crowder. Why would a supposed simple translation from 16th century Arabic text to English reference a 18th century Ade Ajayi and Ajayi Crowder. Where these figures in existence in the 16th century when these supposed Arabic text where written? Obviously the Yoruba in the text came from late 18th century inputs of Ajayi Crowder not the original Arabic text the same way modern interpretations of Benin kings in Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, etc are written down today as Oba. I will like to see the original 16th century Arabic text that states Yoruba. I can get it interpreted by the Arabs around me. 2 Likes |

samuk:Yours is a clear case of a dummy who thinks himself as cunning. Show me a screenshot of the page where you found that the actual body of the translation mentions the names: Micheal Crowder, Ade Ajayi, et al. You may need a dictionary at this stage to appreciate what a translation is and what a translator's annotation (or footnote, or commentary) is. Yes! Both you and I know that you understand exactly what you’re doing. Or don’t you? You’re only trying hard to cover up for your mess up. And the best way you thought to do that is to pretend to be ignorant of the meaning of “translation” and of “footnote”. You obviously never get tired of being disgraced. Do you? I will like to see the original 16th century Arabic text that states Yoruba. I can get it interpreted by the Arabs around me.@samuk, I know this is only one of your cheap pleadings with which you seek to save face and soak in disgrace whenever it becomes unbearable. However, I decided (for the fun of it) to painstakingly read through some of the early 1600s manuscript folios of Ahmad Baba’s “Mi‘rāj al-Su‘ūd“ to extract the actual folio in question for you. By so doing I will be giving you the fresh and golden opportunity to be creative with yet another special pleading. As such, find embedded below the actual folio from where the translators have done their translation — showing the list of the ethnic-linguistic groups with Baba’s Arabic original of the name “Yoruba” particularly highlighted for you. www.nairaland.com/attachments/12924497_5f8c8fcd48c848d2b88df144cbb2812c_jpeg_jpegf6b00ae4ee5f6daa0c3a908bef599eb7 The link below goes to some more folios of this same manuscript where this particular folio is also present. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/The_Ladder_of_Ascent_in_Obtaining_the_Procurements_of_the_Sudan-_Ahmad_Baba_Answers_a_Moroccan’s_Questions_about_Slavery_WDL9661.pdf Compare and contrast with the earlier translation as embedded below: http://www.artsrn.ualberta.ca/amcdouga/Hist347/autumn%202012/additional%20readings/ahmad_baba.pdf www.nairaland.com/attachments/12916030_35bd589040034203aa5d7d687c1da64a_jpeg_jpeg5d6dcb71a92c88b75b7bd3b5b6f4593f www.nairaland.com/attachments/12916031_bce6e5f2e3254df19e5858797b6be638_jpeg_jpega9555b89c3b33922d09a96bffaab55da Cc: LegendHero, macof, RuggedSniper, DenreleDave, Saintbehot, reallest, gomojam, Balogunodua, babtoundey, Ideadoctor, ABULARdotCom, TheLionofLasigi, Olu317, Amujale 9 Likes 4 Shares |

When you are being beaten, you quickly retort to insults to end the debate. A well educated person with good upbringing and etiquette and sound knowledge sticks to the point.

Translators give annotations to their translations of ancient and classical documents in order to provide modern readers with details and the historical context around the writer’s discourse on certain obscure or cursory passages, phrases, sentences, or words. Have you ever seen a Bible (in English) before? That is an example of a modern translation of an ancient document. The footnotes in these Bible translations are not there because the Bible scholars/translators were conspiring to sTeAL beNiN HiStOrY. 2 Likes 2 Shares
