Ideadoctor:


lol. that was really funny, the language was ugly in sight,I wonder how it will sound

Etrusen:



how did we start it first ?
You open tribalistic trends to spites the Yorubas and hate, I love my tribe and I respect other tribes, have you ever seen me insulting Igbo trends? No,that is because they stay off my tribe, but if they say anything against my tribe then I will attack them, to be sincere gregyboy boy is the one that is calling insult on your tribe

Edeyoung:



Yoruba is the worst language ever, it iriitate me
You have come with your nonsense again
With all d gbo gbo. Inside d language makes me puke is just that u guys are littered everywhere like crocoach, you can do but speak it,

When edo man speaks his dialect one will think he is about to cause war

That of the yoruba language is full of cowardice

Ideadoctor:

TAO11:
Objective: To demonstrate with new evidence that my rag — that is, @gregyboy is one and the same person with the moniker @Edeyoung

Audience: Those who may have missed it when I did a similar thing some months ago with other evidence:

Cc: Ideadoctor, gomojam, macof, RedboneSmith, RuggedSniper, googi, scholes0, Newton85, Balogunodua, babtoundey, reallest, nisai, DenreleDave, SaintBeehot, Amujale, Afam4eva, Ofunwa111, LegendHero, Barbilius, Juliusmalema, pazienza, Obalatule, ABULARdotCom, LukasPodolski

Proof:
Edeyoung created a topic namely “The Title OBA Is Indigenous to Benins”. See the embedded screenshot below for the evidence of this:
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12846307_98610ddff0e24fc496bd42b6a7eab4f1_jpeg_jpegf75cfc9d205394c0399ce34f2bc590e9

One of the first “Replies” he received on the thread is from a certain @Ayoemrys as seen in the embedded screenshot below:
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12846309_bdefc8c8cbf648848acd9cd2d68872bb_jpeg_jpeg512f12ba3df2e1addc6d05df83cdfc13

Following @Ayoemrys’ comment, another Nairalander (@Luckyheart) “Quoted” Edeyoung’s original post and inquired for the “Source” of his jibber-jabber.

Edeyoung replied [i.e. “Quoted”] @Luckyheart’s inquiry as shown in the embedded screenshot below:
www.nairaland.com/attachments/12846310_cf48e67f7e7648b190079b92d8f360a4_jpeg_jpegd3d7453bc98afdf591371dfba76dc41a

After replying to @Luckyheart’s inquiry, Edeyoung was now set to also reply to @Ayoemrys’ comment. But something went awfully wrong this time around.

Yes, Edeyoung replied [i.e. “Quoted”] @Ayoemrys’ comment. In fact, in his reply to @Ayoemrys, he proudly identified with his own post while again naming the source of his inspiration — just as he had done in his earlier reply to @Luckyheart.

This time around however, he forgot that he had already logged out of his Edeyoung moniker, and that has now logged in with his alternative moniker namely gregyboy. See embedded image below:

Q.E.D.


Summary:
Having multiple accounts is no big deal, except if the intention is Ill, and if it arises out of inferiority complex as is the obvious case with @gregyboy AKA @Edeyoung.

Cheers!

Edeyoung:


In sport, history, politics, culture

I dont understand

The last time i checked bini is carrying nigeria culturally around the world


The red coral breeds won in the south is off bini origin

The pounded yam and eguisi traditional delicacy is what nigeria as termed general food

What else ooh untill we win nigeria presidency seat right... Lol

babtoundey:


Pounded yam is now Benin...!
How about jollof rice, salad, bread and butter? Don't you think they sound Edo too? Slow boy.

With time, we will e hearing from you folks that the seat of Olodumare is an extension of your empire.

babtoundey:


Busted and even overbusted. Gregboy is equal to Edeyoung.

And the idiot is even quoting himself "why did they equate you as me.."

He thinks everyone is as slow as he is.

Apparently, the Yoruba language came to the rescue of all West African slaves, including the Edo slaves who both at home and in slavery were subjected to the Yoruba language. Wonderful!

In the video report below, many African-Americans of Edo ancestry trace their roots back to the Edo kingdom of Benin.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxDve0rwQbM

Yes, African Americans. Yes, the same people whose ancestors found themselves in the Americas via the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Yes, they trace themselves back home to Benin kingdom.

Now I know your insecurity and defense mechanism would kick in to cause you to pretend to be unsure of how their Edo ancestors got enslaved and sold off in the first place. Lol.

Well, the testimony obtained from the Edos themselves by the late Professor R. E. Bradbury during his ethnographic survey of Benin kingdom is very telling in that regards.

Refer to the embedded image below (from page 112 of R. E. Bradbury’s “The Benin Kingdom and the Edo-Speaking Peoples of South Western Nigeria”, 1957) for some educative information in that regards:

Now, that you’ve found out how your people were enslaved and sold-off by the Yorubas, the difference you must now realize is that many Yorubas who were sold-off fought their freedom back home.

However, all the enslaved Edos (on the other hand) remained slaves in the Americas perpetually ad-infinitum.

Obalatule:
We are not your brothers cos we don't share blood, what you have with western Igbos is a story of simple migration and return migration.

Bini used to be a thriving kingdom that attracted various stocks of Igbos from their homelands: craftsmen, juju men and merchants alike.

When Bini kingdom casted they jejely started returning towards their Kith and kin in the East

Don't misconstruct our stories of returning from bini to mean we are Edo people.....even Igbanke people in Edo state today know they are Igbos not edo

You bini nairalanders are supposed to be tired of this your tomfoolery here by now

adadike:
being the oldest tribe in Nigeria, I believe the great igbos once rule over Benin empire and to an extent yorubaland. The story of moremi even confirmed it. I also heard that in those days even till date, that before a new king will ascend the throne of Benin , emmisaries must be sent to Nri. I heard it's done in secret to avoid pride and insults

Edeyoung:




Grand master of everlasting slavery even in modern days

ok now let me ask

is this thread related to Yoruba ?

Edeyoung:



Santeria and candomble = the religion of slaves



Ife art =not made by ife people called ife art because it was found at ife


The one i stoked would be a foolish search


The ones i left unstroked reminds me yorubas slavery which you should be ashamed of

Comparing benin influence international to that of yoruba is useless

Edeyoung:



Pounded yam and eguisi is edo

Ewedu and amala is yoruba food

You never missed an opportunity to misinform the gullible and less informed. You prey on people's ignorance alot, I don't know if this is deliberate or you are just less informed yourself or you don't think about your logical conclusions before you present them.

You start by presenting a faulty narrative to prepare your gullible students and then support your hypothesis with unrelated citations to make your argument look and sound authentic.

Your submission and citations doesn't explain how some genetically Edo people ended up in America.

Reasons why your logic is faulty:

According to your own citations/reference, the raids into Edo North by either the Nupe or Ibadan happened after the middle of the 19th century.

1. Your reference didn't say that Edo villagers were captured and sold into slavery, this is your assumption.

2. By the later part of 19th century when these raids in Edo North were said to have occurred, transatlantic slave trade was already banned in America. See below.

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that provided that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect on January 1, 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution.
Long title: AN ACT to prohibit the importation of slaves, into any port or place within t...
Effective: January 1, 1808
Enacted by: the 9th United States Congress

3. Though there were still illegal trades in slavery up till 1870, most of the cargoes went to the sugarcane and cotton plantations of the Caribbean.

4. People of Edo origin/heritage could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through other means but not through your wishful thinking.

5. There are people and tribes from Lagos, eastern Yoruba, south east, south south and middle belt Nigeria that traces their origins to Benin. Edo indigines could have become victims of the transatlantic slave trade through anyone of these people/tribes not through Nupe and Ibadan raids in Edo North in the middle to late 19th century when Benin was in decline.

6. I have already disproved that Ogane couldn't be Ife, please stop deceiving people with it.

7. Archeological study of Ife dates the earliest settlements to the first decade of 16th century. Ogane/Benin history was recorded in the 15th century.

8. Ogane was said to be in the opposite direction from Benin, not the direction of Ife.

9. Ogane was said to be a 20 moons or months travel from Benin and a distance of about 900 miles, Ife is less than 200 miles from Benin and the journey couldn't have taken 20 moons or months.

10. Ogane does not sounds like Ife, Oduduwa or Ooni.

11. Please don't tell me that there were artworks found in Ife older than 16th century, even if this is true, which I doubt, it doesn't prove they were made in Ife.

12. Hope you will not come back with insults as usual after you have been lectured.

TAO11:
Wonderful!

But to respond to this for the purpose of putting the information out there:

(1) I’m not sure who announced Igbo as the oldest tribe in Nigeria, what I’m sure about instead is that the oldest human bones found in the whole of West Africa comes from Yorubaland — Iwo-Eleru to be precise. It dates to circa 7,000 BCE.

(2) Moreover, at no point in ancient times did the Igbos rule over any Yoruba kingdom (i.e. including Benin kingdom) nor did the ancient Igbos even rule over one another.

(3) The Moremi episode actually has nothing to do with a group ruling over another group. It also has nothing to do with south-easterners of present-day Nigerians.

Rather, it relates to guerrilla raids on the ancient Ife city by disgruntled Ife residents who had been expelled to the forest (or igbo in Yoruba language).

While the Yoruba word for for “forest” coincides with the name of the south-eastern Nigeria ethnic group, I am not sure if this name also mean “forest” in the south-eastern language.

Moreover, the Moremi episode is conspicuously absent in the traditions of the Igbo people of south-eastern Nigeria.

Yet it is present in both the traditions of the Ife people as well as in the traditions of the Ugbo* people of which the Olugbo is king.

*”Ugbo” is an Eastern-Yoruba dialectal variation of the same word Igbo — Forest. The Ugbos trace their roots to a party of the expelled Ife residents.


(4) I would let the Binis here explain themselves as to whether or not Benin (in addition to sending to Ife) also send emissaries to Nri on the ascension of a new Benin king. LMAO!

In the meantime while we await the Binis to clarify whose servant they really are, see the two attachments below for some context.

Cheers!

[s]
Tao11 the pathological liar ....you have ressurected me by mentioning Igbos again in your unending stream of lies which I will thrash one after the other


( 1) Igbos remain the oldest Distinct group of people in modern day Nigeria with a history dating back to 6,000 years ago
The remains in Iwo eleru(which are not really human remains as you claimed) dates back to 43,000 years while yorubas only started settling the area around 12th century, how could this be the ancestors of Yoruba people?

Igbo people that spoke a language very closely related to modern igbo resided in Ile ife before yoruba started coming into the area from modern day Kogi state.

(2) Obatala who is the first Oba in Ile ife(Igbo omoku) is an Igbo priest, so clearly Igbos ruled yoruba in Igbo omoku (ask me for evidence)

Agreed the moremi episode has Little to do with modern day south Eastern Igbos but with a distinct Igbo group that inhabited ife(Igbo omoku) prior to yoruba arrival(s).

The moremi stories are absent in the history of South eastern Igbos today simply because it has nothing to do with them, the Igbos mentioned in the moremi story are now in ondo state as the ugbo people and they preserve alot of their Igbo traits till this day.


To anybody doubting the Igbo roots of ugbo people note that the most successful ruler of ugbo/igbo people while they where in ile Ife(Igbo omoku) is named "Ekenwa" ....how Igbo does that get?

The last time I devoted a flogging session to you, you wept profusely to the mods that I bullied you.

You were subsequently ignored because you lacked the stamina to soak in the torture without complain. I really do hope something has changed this time around.

I do not [wish to] waste precious [productive] time debunking a teenager’s WISH-LIST. LMAO!

If you have have anything that looks like evidence for any of the items on your wishlist, then knock on my door.

Nigerians are already convinced that your Oba is a Yoruba man from Ife.

No amount of damage control from you can undo that. I did the damage. [wicked laughter].

[Moreover] ..., the Yorubas raided and sold your daddies [and mommies] into slavery.

Yet, you’re here arguing that the Yorubas only used them for [ritual] sacrifice and not for sale.

For now, go and play with your mates. One of them is already waiting. See below!
