Lol, she keep deceiving her ignorant kingsmen who failed to pick uo simple history book to read


First picture depict, a setup human skull by the British to justify benin massacre on benin for her cruelty on human life's those skulls as you can see were neatly arranged by the British who picked the skulls from benin grave yard and set them up for photoshoot


As you can see that place the picture was taken is not an alter or shrine , but a palace chiefs house, which would be very unlikely to do human sacrifice, the British was not the first European to visit the oba ancestral alter, guess what, they never saw human skull on the oba royal alter

Second pic's shows a misinterpretation of a Yoruba man who based in benin, tagged by a European photographer as a benin man, unknowingly

If i am lying let her bring anoda picture of a benin man with such markings


You can see my screenshot, below i was creating a thread last year on basic misconception on benin history, it was too broad for me at that time so i abandoned it inmy browser till when i am chanced, i talked about how the British set we benin up with the notion city of blood, to justify the benin massacre

@Olu317, I have decided to do a color coding of the different ethno-linguistic groups listed in this manuscript folio by the Timbuktu writer Ahmad Baba in the early 1600s.

This color coding approach will make it easier to reference and compare the Arabic original with the translation prepared by John Huwick and Fatima Harrak for the Institute of African Studies Rabat, Morocco.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/12934147_3336ed29985b499e82c4e140b455b9fa_jpeg_jpeg62ecafabb59c692d4ba471597fdf16bb

The actual essay of Ahmad Baba from which this folio is extracted (and from where this translation was prepared) is entitled “Mi‘rāj al-Ṣu‘ūd” (for short).

The University of Alberta weblink below goes to the full translation of this particular essay with page 39 being the actual page in question here.

First of all, the “Ouyo” mentioned in the text is not Oyo. It is Ijaw. I have the material too, and it is made clear from other parts of the material that Ijaw is being referred to as Ouyo.

The rendition used for OYo in the same material is Eyo.

Secondly, the word you translated as invaded is actually infiltrated — with no connotation of military occupation whatsoever.

Finally, the text doesn’t talk of Benin having any control over any part of Lagos island occupied by indigenous people.

The only area the Binis were restricted to is the part of Lagos island allocated to them. It is from here they controlled themselves and report back to their King.

Be wary of unconsciously superimposing a general narrative upon a text.

Translation is not one and the same thing as interpretation.

After your lies, here is the actual translation in full:

"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. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the Yebous have seazed that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

And here is the book.

I am the person who first posted this book into nairaland, I did so in june. Notice how this scam artist conveniently hid the book, made no mention of me and made no mention of the topic in which I posted the book and captions and a translation. Notice also tao's lie :

"The only area the Binis were restricted to is the part of Lagos island allocated to them. It is from here they controlled themselves and report back to their King." In reality the book says very clearly that Benin belongs to Lagos as you can see by the translation. And the book also states that the governor of lagos gets appointed by the Oba of Benin.

Oni of ife presented as a spiritual leader, not a king: https://www.facebook.com/LateSirAdesojiMartinsTadeniawoAderemiI/videos/989866004541431
You’ve just proven yourself again to be nothing but a bald-headed, janus-faced, fatuous liar!

No where does the above 1948 video documentary say that the Ooni of Ife is not a king but a priest. Neither was he introduced as priest.

Rather, the video states at timestamp 0:14 and I quote here below:

The Ooni of Ife, spiritual leader of over three million Nigerian tribesmen, was one of the important arrivals”.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=989866004541431

And that is accurate because all Yoruba kings (that is, including the Benin monarch) are considered in, Yoruba religious belief, to be demi-deities — ikeji-õṣà.

Since the Ooni of Ife is the leader of all the monarchs of Yorubaland, this fact thus rightfully makes him the spiritual leader of all Yorubas (and Binis).

Notice that this 1948 meeting which held in Lancaster house and entitled “The African Conference in London” had the Ooni of Ife representing Nigeria in his capacity as leader of the south-west ‘tribes’ — which included the Binis among others.

This leader of the then south-west ‘tribes’ was not deemed to be the Alaafin Oyo, nor was it deemed to be the Omonoba n’Edo, but rather the Ooni Ife.

Note that he wasn’t yet honored as a British knight at the time. Neither was he yet a Governor at the time. He simply represented Nigeria in his capacity as a tribe leader — a tribe which included the Binis.


In addition to the above 1948 documentary, the attached pages below are from a 1903 publication entitled “Native Crowns”.

These attached pages from the paper shows the published summary of a proceeding in which the Ooni of Ife was clearly and rightfully identified as the leading monarch for all of Yorubaland.

This image you attached here traces to only one source as diverse and as versatile as the World-Wide-Web is.

The image traces only to a post from an unverified Facebook page of a certain apparent amateur who, nonetheless, self-certified theirs as a history page. smiley

This singular originator of this image (and Facebook post) — from where you have lifted this image — was severely roasted in the comment section of their own Facebook post for misinforming the public.

The Facebook poster (despite the multiple and consistent heavy criticisms in the comment section) dared not name even one source to prove that the individual in the picture was indeed an Ooni.

Neither could they substantiate the authenticity of the uncorroborated and sourceless footnote which they’ve edited into the anonymous picture. It was a clear case of propaganda gone wrong.

There is simply no evidence anywhere in all of history pages to back up their false and mischievous association of the Ooni of Ife with IfA priesthood.

Neither could the poster dare say a word in defense of their apparent mischievous editing — as there is no other source for such (apparent) falsehood.

In fact to be emphatic, there is not a single past Ooni of Ife (from Yorubaland’s photography era) who has ever adorned the circular-style beaded-necklace as shown in your image.

This singular fact alone instantly debunks your image (and its accompanying footnote) as a work of dubious and fraudulent propaganda. Lol! cheesy

As the 1903 attachments in my foregoing comment shows, the Ooni of Ife remains and was always the head of all Yoruba kings.

Stop lying to yourself and yet believe it. That’s the definition of madness. May God heal your miserable soul.

Your lies and more lies as usual. If you’re asking for what the text actually says without any twist and turns like you have in your fraudulent translation, then here is what the text says below:

Captain Horseley referred to it as Eco [Èkó] and that is how it was designated by the Yébous [Ijebus]; but it is not their domain, it is the Bénin’s [Benin’s] — who refer to it by the name Koráme [which is] recognizably the Curamo of the older Portuguese’s accounts, just as Ekó represents the Dutch hydrographers’s Ichoo.

Koráme and its mainland were linked in the past by a sand-spit between the great lagoon and the sea. However, the Yébous have, for a long time, seized that sand-spit whose eastern end has also been infiltrated by Ouyó [Ijaw] pirates.

Koráme thus remained isolated to the extreme of the great lagoon, and continued to be dependent on Bénin for its choice of governor or political leader.


Having said that, the false narrative which you’ve sought tirelessly to weave around this passage has been debunked (at the link below) by adducing an eyewitness text which is 242 years earlier than the above passage.

My analysis of that earlier text gives clarification and light to what is actually meant in the above passage.

One of the reasons Alafin was made the chairman of traditional council in former western region instead of ooni of ife


The British also went ahead in placing the ooni of ife as least important chief amongst various traditional rulers
