The ijebu have no word as Eko, we have ekosodin in Benin,

Fuckkkkk off obsessed bitch

AreaFada2:


The two common names for camp in Benin are Eko and later Ago. Ago became more popular for temporary civilian or farming settlements later. Though both were used militarily before too.

Benin is a very dynamic language. Words gain preference over others over time.

I like to watch Urhobo and Isoko films for example. There I hear words with clear Benin roots. Some were words still popular with old folks decade ago, all now late. In 25 years many people will believe that "kokodia" is purely only Urhobo word for coconut.

Okoro is pure Benin name for princes. Crown prince before investiture as EDAIKEN is called Okoro nokhua (Grand/Great Prince). Today Okoro is Urhobo name for "gentleman'.

Some only know Okoro as an Igbo name.

Etinosa aka ayoola27, is there any reason why you chose to lie to yourself??

Isn’t that the definition of madness??

The remaining part of that translation which you’re afraid to type says:

“ •••the Benins’ — who refer to it by the name Korame [which is] recognizably the Curamo of the old Portuguese’s accounts, just as Eko represents the Dutch hydrographers’ Ichoo.

Clearly, the name Korame which the Binis used was based on the old Portuguese’s “Curamo“.

While Eko itself is (SAID BY THE SAME BOOK) to have been coined by the Ijebus — based on the old Dutch’s “Ichoo”.

These words clearly flowed into Benin lexicon (based on this material), and not the other way round.

So, it is clearly a loose-loose for Benin.

Why aren’t you honest with yourself?

Stop letting people decieve you i am benin and i can swear with my life the Yoruba history 9f Oduduwa in Benin began aftee d British ended d empire



Can you swear with your life Oduduwa history is true in Benin, that would be d questions remember you are not an ife person before you start judging or swearing with your life you cannot know better than the people that have d history , i am benin and we know the story of Oduduwa in edo is a media attention story and not historical like people think


Ask yourself did European ever see benin-ife relationships over their 400yrs in benin, the answer is no


Read the screenshot it was written by a European
Benin history researcher

He is a European who dwells is research on benun history

Unclekayfarms:

My brother find somewhere go sit down Jo. We're talking of Oranmiyan as the first Oba of Benin, you're mentioning his great grandfather.

There was nothing like Benin before Oranmiyan enter Igodomigodo town.
I'm half Yoruba by the way

Etinosa1234:
See translation of the French text

Captain Horseley called it eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs.

But some one wants to tell us that korame was borrowed but Eco was not

gregyboy:



The ijebus called it a short form of Ekoname, since they couldn't fully pronounce it

So they decided to call it Eko a short form of Ekoname

Etinosa1234:


According to the French translation, it says that the Benin call it Korame....

Its not expected that the foreigner be able to write our word very well...

The korame doesn't have a meaning in Benin word and we don't Start words with the letter "k" and when pronouncing Ekorame, the "e" would be silent (Etrusen, hope I'm correct in this) esp if foreigners pronounce it. .

Now given the fact that Benin had more influence in Lagos(Eko)than ijebu, it's more logical that the Word Ekorame (camp of waters) given by the Benin was shortened by the Ijebus to eko... Thus Benin are the originator of the name Eko

Now if she says that korame was gotten from the Portuguese word curamo, its only logical that the korame would mean cure also in Benin as it is in Portuguese

An example of Portuguese word in Benin is spoon
Spoon means colher in Portuguese
Spoon means ekuye in Benin..

This debunks the claim that korame was a borrowed word


Samuk, areafada2, BornRicch

Etinosa1234:


That's the logical explanation ...

But Tao wants to tell us that the land owned by the Benin and named Korame as mentioned in the text was borrowed from the Portuguese due to being referenced while the name that a complete stranger gave it is the original and unborrowed one even when it was referenced by the Dutch also

This Cross dresser is the definition of double standards itself

Maybe she wants to tell us that the Yorubas influenced the Dutch...

Areafada2, Samuk valirex edeyoung Etrusen

Etrusen:




korame have no meaning in Benin

but Ekorame / eko_ame means camp of waters in Benin

like I said before each Eko in Benin were given the name because of the circumstances surrounding it e.g like what gregyboy said Ekosodin meaning camp of the Osodin of Benin, eko _ okhae meaning bachelors camp etc

the korame is a corrupted benin word just like Sakponba which was also corrupted from Sokponba. the corruption always come in as a result of the inability for these foreigner to speak the word

for example the first E in Ekorame is obvious when spoken by an indigene
but always silent when spoken by foreigners thereby making it sound as Korame

Etinosa1234:

In fact I've seen strangers pronounce ekosodin as kosodin....
The e there is pronounced like an "a" and is Silent .. Thanks boss

Etrusen:




let her tell us the meaning of korame in dutch or Portuguese

definitely you expect someone to name a place with a word that have no meaning in his tribe

Etinosa1234:


Even the paper that Christistruth00 was carrying up and down to deceive people states that the Korame/Eco belongs to Benin clearly... Thanks to nocomment2 that translated it, I won't have known

Before that time, did the Oba of Lagos say or not say that he was a descendant of the oba of Benin

Etinosa1234:
••• For u to understand better, the letter says that" the land, eko, belongs to Benin... Who named it Korame"... •••

Also he states that the Benin were the ones who named Eko which was obviously shortened by the Ijebus[/color]

He goes further to note that the Korame is the same as Curamo in other Portuguese reports just as Eko is Ichoo in Dutch reports...

The word Eco is never said to be coined by the Ijebus... Rather it states that the word Eko and not Eco refers to the Ichoo by the Dutch

But If u say that the word Korame was gotten from curamo as seen in older Portuguese reports•••

•••, it is also logical for u to conclude that Eko was gotten from Ichoo as seen in Dutch[/b] Stop the double standards,..it won't favor u

Also... If u believe that Korame was gotten from the word curamo (Korame has no meaning in Benin), •••

••• then it would be best to tell us the meaning of Eco in Yoruba... Not Eko as this are two entirely different words as used in the text

In fact, the text expressly says the land "Eko" belongs to the Benin
