Aro never liked to rule over people ...they just do trade fight and beat you if you try to tax them but would never rule over you

Even when they have aro villages they would never attempt to expand

Igbo soil is supreme to Igbos that's where we are buried ...we can own your land ...to us it's like owing a card it's just a measure of wealth ...not that we wasn't it to be Igbo land
Yes I understand that Aro conferencey was never a conquering power
I'm saying it settled and estimated colonies in western Cameroon Bioko and some minor parts of equational guinea

Lmao. Igbo hated themselves thus were found in several isolated Hamlets separated from one another because the Igbo didn't want to end up in a pot of soup by their next door Igbo neighbor. That was why they isolated themselves. That was how the Whites found them. Several Isolated Hamlets, Uncivilized, Naked and eating human flesh. Go and read history.

But once civilization was brought to them, their innate greediness and wickedness (reason why they eat their fellow human) started to show thus the reason why they wanna steal people land as well as act hateful to those who accommodate them.

This is the relationship between the ancient Benin and the Yoruba. The First king of the Oyo empire was a Benin man.

On the death of the last Ogiso, his son and heir apparent Ekaladerhan was banished from Benin as a result of one of the Queens changing the message from the oracle to the Ogiso. Ekaladerhan was a powerful warrior and well loved Benin Prince. On leaving Benin he travelled to the west of the present day Nigeria to the land of the Yorubas. At that time the Yoruba oracle said that their King will come outof the forest and when Ekaladerhan arrived at Ife, hewas received as a King. He changed his name to Imadoduwa meaning "I did not misplace my royalty" and became The Great Oduduwa of The Yoruba Land.

On the death of his father, the last Ogiso, a group of Benin Chiefs led by Chief Oliha came to Ife, pleading with him to come back to Benin to ascend the throne. Oduduwa's reply was that a King cannot leave his Kingdom but he had seven sons and would ask one of them to go back to Benin to rule as the next King. Oranmiyan, the son of Ekaladerhan aka Oduduwa, agreed to go to Benin. He spent some years in Benin and came back to Ife after his wife gave birth to a son named Eweka. Eweka I became the first Oba of Benin.

Remind me again which people fought and killed themselves till the point they begged British to come rule over them ?

Remind me again which people are scared of forming their own nation because they know they would kill themselves

I don't know about what people you're talking about.

But Yoruba have been ruling themselves since time memorial. Oyo empire for example. The Yoruba were found civilized and clothed with their aso oke and adire. Not eating human flesh.

Sokoto didn't.

It was Afonja who invited Alimi to help him in Ilorin because he was scared of the punishment Oyo king would give him after he disrespected the Oyo king when he was posted to oversee Ilorin town. At the end, Alimi betrayed and killed Afonja in Ilorin.

When Yoruba heard about what transpired, Yoruba went to ransack the whole Ilorin. It was at that moment that the White arrived. So they had to go fight against the Whites.

The whites said Igbo were cannibals!

Even some places in the southeast today are still cannibalistic. My friend's father escaped by a whisker. He narrated his experience back then while he was narrating his ashewo life before he became a Pastor. He said while he was doing his Waka about during his NYSC days in Abia, he arrived at a small village where only one road leads into the village. He almost entered despite something whispering to him that this is strange but he didn't care until a girl who was walking the other direction caught his ashewo eyes as usual then, so he abandoned entering the village. Afterwards, he was gisting his friends at the camp about the strange village, then one Igbo person familiar with the place said "Na God save you. You would have ended in a pot of cooking soup by now 🤣

That guy is not from Bini but one senseless Igbo boy. That's the new agenda, they keep creating impersonating claiming yoruba or Bini to spew trash.

All what you said is bull shit. The Oba of Benin is a descendant of Oranmiyan who was one of the sons of Oduduwa the king in Ile-ife. Did you know that the Obas of Benin don't bury their kings with their heads but take them Ile-ife?

What is this human rituals loving , child molesting liking, rape indulging , amala munching bonobo talking about ?

You Yoruba will forever keep twisting history and spreading propaganda as you are known to do but the truth will never be buried, ask the West how fare they.

We Benin own Lagos , we always have and always will. A day of reckoning is coming for you YORUBA, a day when all sins will be revisited.

Don't worry

Don't kill yourself before your time. Go to Lagos and claim your land. In fact you can start selling the remaining land and collect taxes.
