OgboAto:


History shows only the king & few chiefs are of Yoruba origins. Only a part of the political & art history of Edo ties with that of Yoruba. There's no need to appropriate.

MelesZenawi:


Moving back doesn't mean going back Benin but simply moving back to the root. To where you guys rightly belonged.

That's the right step to go.

Your kiths and kind locked out by border closure shouldn't suppose to be..

GidiWoodsMan:

what fucking root. stop talking nonsense unless it's meant to be a joke
this is how people start when they want to revise history

Gabkosh:
Osu, where do you come from. I heard you belong to bush with monkeys, so when are you people going back to your monkey family?

MelesZenawi:


You guys too like Nigeria. Always clinging to it with the last drop of their blood.

Op listed benin republic as part of greater Yoruba...even Togo and all an empire.

Move back to your old empire..


West/north their lifeline lies In Nigeria.

kibraaminase:
Can someone give us account of how different Yoruba towns came with their different dialects?

Dartilo:
PLS and pls do not add BENIN to ur theory,i am a benin boy and it annoys us when yoruba try to attach demself to benin,we EDO are not yoruba neva...

Pls wetin b yoruba empire me m juz hearing dat for d first time,yoruba is a recently used name to call diff ethnic pple as one...

M nt here to trade words pls but as a direct descendants of idu,igodomigodo it annoys me to c our history has been distorted

MelesZenawi:


You're not serious. It must be added.

You don't want it added but you can add that others(Igbo) migrated from Benin. Is this not also distortion of history?

Gabkosh:
Is this one crazy, did you see Benin in the list? Who the hell is Benin. You Benin people that always want to get attention. Wetin concern us with benin.

Dartilo:



Learn to control ur emotion wen u r in an arguement and always be open minded..i did not look at the list thoroughly bt i read d comment and i was replying to those dat said Benin should be included...


Pls did i quote u

OgboAto:



Only the Bini monarchy & certain Bini chiefs have Yoruba origin. Before the Yoruba encounter, Edo folks existed & after the encounter, the Edo folks continued to exist. Edo is Edo, they're not Yoruba.

MelesZenawi:


Edo can't be Edo.

Where did they come from?

Who are they?

History shows Edos are Yorubas.... because there is no how you will discuss the history of Edos without Yorubas...#Fact

Dartilo:



You cant and shouldn't add wat does nt belong to you,benin Neva migrated from ife,d relationship is still in contradiction because benin would tel u oduduwa is a benin prince dat was banish and dat oranmiyan returned back home...

Let me assume wit u guyz dat benin are yoruba because of oranmiyan so therefore itsekiri are benins because of their olu who is from benin

MelesZenawi:

You don't want it added but you can add that others(Igbo) migrated from Benin. Is this not also distortion of history?

MelesZenawi:


Sometimes I tire for Nigerians

Bini has so much in common with yorubas....Is it names, food, words or even way of life.

You have olusegun in Edo and in yoruba
Same as Rotimi, Ade, even segun or something like that..

History has a correlation through oruminyan.

You may put it put under normal circumstances

Edo is yoruba and yoruba is edo....both. Has Oba as their king...

These are basic things we can see...I don't understanding what u guys are disputing.

Which history shows Igodomigodo is Yoruba?

Benin Kingdom in Edo is Yoruba territory — Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/198255-benin-kingdom-edo-yoruba-territory-ooni-ife-adeyeye-ogunwusi.html

Atigba:


Majority of Igbos in south east migrated from Igodomigodo, I have clarify that here before.

Again, stop equating Igodomigodo with Yoruba, the Yorubas already knows their boundary. Some certain chiefs in Benin migrated from Ife doesn't mean IDU children in Igodomigodo are Yoruba.

Be warn




Mention d name of some of the chief,dont come online to start saying what you do not know juz for d sake of supremacy battle...

D day u guys accept and acknowledge the true origination of oduduwa,frm dat day EDO will c u all as brother,because u cant not distort their history to mke u superior and also claiming brotherhood...

Benin has always stand wit d fact that oduduwa was their son who escape excution and ran away to a new land...

Ile ife means i ran and i escape in Edo language

Izoduwa means i have choosen my path of prosperity in Edo language

Dartilo:






Dis is nt if Edo is yoruba or if yoruba is Edo, benin didnt migrate from ile ife,since yoruba is an almagamation of nations who traces their root to ile ife so therefore benin should be excluded

Edo and yorubas are just brothers. Evidence lies above.

Atigba:


Some benin chiefs share ancestral root with Ife and they are not up to 2% in Edo State.

They migrated to Igodomigodo in 1170AD. That doesn't mean people in Igodomigodo are yoruba.

Igodomigodo has been existing for thousands of years with IDU children before these so called Oduduwa came from Sudan or whatever they migrated from to Ille Ife.

The original occupants in Ife are Obatala which Olugbo of Ugbo is a descendant of.

MelesZenawi:



You even have the effrontery to come back here to write this trash again.

Well I don't blame you. The same distortion of history is what you are against and at same time propounding another one.

All the histories we have read says otherwise to your claim except what you and Dartilo are. Twisting.

Atigba:


Oni of Ife know what he is talking about, he should first tell us how his father fell from sky

Dartilo:





The oni was surpose to b a spiritual head and not a king,oni accordingly to history was a slave to oduduwa ,running errands for oduduwa and he took over aftervd death of oduduwa because his sons hve found nice and better kingdom else where,the numbet one monarch has always been d Alafin of oyo..

So if d history is in it appropriate narrative y is it dat today d stool of oni is superior to Alafin,dis is part of d distortion of history so u donot accept information from him as a tru source of knowledge...

Pls correct me if i am wrong,we r all here to learn
