Bini has become irrelevant in today's scheme of things. The entire population of Bini people is not up to that of my local government area in Anambra

We are and will continue to be relevant,
No Niger delta without mentioning Edo state

The kingdom of Benin began in the 900s when the Edo people settled in the rainforests of West Africa. By the 1400s they had created a wealthy kingdom with a powerful ruler, known as the Oba. The Obas lived in beautiful palaces decorated with shining brass.

Gradually, the Obas won more land and built up an empire. They also started trading with merchants from Europe.

For 200 years Benin was very successful, but in the 1600s the Obas started to lose control of their people. By the 1800s Benin was no longer strong or united. The kingdom came to a sudden end in 1897, when a British army invaded and made it part of the British Empire.

How did the kingdom begin?
Around the year 900 groups of Edo people began to cut down trees and make clearings in the rainforest. At first they lived in small family groups, but gradually these groups developed into a kingdom.

The kingdom was called Igodomigodo. It was ruled by a series of kings, known as Ogisos, which means ‘rulers of the sky’.

In the 1100s there were struggles for power and the Ogisos lost control of their kingdom.

The Edo people feared that their country would fall into chaos, so they asked their neighbour, the King of Ife, for help. The king sent his son Prince Oranmiyan to restore peace to the Edo kingdom.

Oranmiyan chose his son Eweka to be the first Oba of Benin. Eweka was the first in a long line of Obas, who reached the peak of their power in the 1500s.

Oba Ewuare was the first of five great warrior kings. His son Oba Ozolua was believed to have won 200 battles. He was followed by Oba Esigie who expanded his kingdom eastwards to form an empire and won land from the Kingdom of Ife. Ozolua and Esigie both encouraged trade with the Portuguese. They used their wealth from trade to build up a vast army.

The fourth warrior king was Oba Orhogbua. During his reign, the empire reached its largest size. It stretched beyond the River Niger in the east and extended west as far as present-day Ghana.

Oba Ehengbuda was the last of the warrior kings. But he spent most of his reign stopping rebellions led by local chiefs. After his death in 1601, Benin’s empire gradually shrank

..

Did he say that?

It's possible all these celeb with money can do anything. Under higHness

wirinet:

They are itsekiri sounding names.

Itsekiri names are more like afonja names, those land belongs to bini bro, oil producing part of ijaw is bini/ijaw land ceded to ondo to make it look like Yoruba people have oil, when they have nothing

Andhominem:


Was Bini once part of Western region or not Btw, you sound like a pigidiot...

So every tribe under old western and Midwest should now be yoruba,
Edo , bini, esan, Uhrobo (edoid) isoko(edoid) , kwale,delta ibos, are all yoruba
Your foolishNess is amazing

Andhominem:


How can it be ceded to Yoruba when it was part of Yoruba from the onset

How can bini land be part of your stinking afonja land

Lordvaryx:
Mothers and son(Especially,first son) have this kind of special tight bond.

Father's and first daughter also have this bond between them

It's actually useless, that's the truth

Kagawa10:


You dey mad. Bini eediot would have to jump over Ondo and Ogun before they can lay claim to Lagos. If you don't mind yourself, we go scatter that Bini sef. All your Bini kings heads are in Ile ife after all.

Oguso goat.

Go and ask your ancestors what we did to then, anso stop throwing insults like a typical afonja vultures

Kagawa10:


See this one. I already stated that only the royal throne has Bini blood, not the natives.

Besides, we all know why the children of the royal house have been emphasizing on their Bini blood after some Yoruba folks had wanted to forcefully remove Oba Akinolu and his royal families. It was a royal house politics which didn't concern the natives of eko island and these natives are the Aworis.

Question that should be asked is what bini culture did the Bini king leave in the royal house let alone at eko island at large? None. Because the royal house wasn't even a pure Bini blood to begin with. It has been diluted right from the start when the first king married a Yoruba woman who gave birth to a female child who eventually married a Yoruba man that replaced the Edo king.

What I'm saying is that the fact that the Awori once had a Bini king over them doesn't make them become foreigners in their own land. Except you have turn into a British or have your land become a British land as a result of once having British leaders in Nigeria, you're only speaking trash.

I have already told u that aworis are settlers in lagos they paid their royalties to the Benin that owned lagos,
If you don't want to belive that you can believe whatever your mutilated history tells you, ,because that's what afonjas are good at, changing history to favour them, even when they have no fact
Kiss my ass from osogbo and don't quote me again

Kagawa10:


OSU rat, tell us how the Bini jumped over Ondo and Ogun state to own Lagos state which is farther from Edo state? You don mad. Tell us any Bini culture in lagos.

I don't have time to argue with ugly afonja vultures

LazyGold:



Awori Own Lagos and Not Benin, we are talking about the Original Settler on a Land, not some terrorists from far away places that came to the Land before they were chased Out. Dahomey people paid tributary Status and Royalty to Oyo Empire does that means Benin Republic is also part of Yoruba Land?

https://www.google.com/amp/thenationonlineng.net/rubbish-say-lagos-no-mans-land/amp/

You don't know what you are saying, lagos remains part of benin empire

LazyGold:


You know that's a Lie, Awori were the first settler in Lagos and we have told this History many times but you people still keep the disrespect coming. No Yoruba Change History because all the Evidence is there

Go and make more research and stop ranting,

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/12/benin-people-owned-lagos-aworis-paid-royalties-erelu-abiola-dosunmu/

Benin own lagos state, and not afonja,

LazyGold:



Lagos belong to the Awori people not benin and Ijaw, but that Rant of Lagos is a no man's Land will be the thing to get you in trouble i promise you.

Aworis are settlers in lagos state, they paid their royalties to the original owners which is benin and ijaws,
You afonjas are good in changing history to suit ur lazy ass

Iamgrey5:
Bro areas like Epe, isheri/ ikeja, Ibeju - lekki and Ikorodu amongst other numerous places had no with Bini kingdom and they had their own monarchs

Most Yorubas from this areas belongs to Yorubas of the ilaje, Awori, ijebu, some Egba and gun( a non Yoruba group from Dahomey)


The only Yorubas to have s with Bini were the Aworis on the island,


It is believed that in the quest to expand the Benin empire around the 16th century, the then oba of Bini ordered the invasion of lagos island, but on getting to the island the peaceful Aworis struck a deal with the Bini army.

They decided to pay tributes to the oba of Bini in return to keep their lands.

Thus, the oba of Lagos originated from Bini, but he doesn't own any land in Lagos. It still belongs to idejo chiefs ( the Awori chiefs).

However, the coming of the British put an end to payment of the tributes.


Read the full lagos history bruv.

Iamgrey5:
Stop reading fake history

The Yorubas in ibeju

ikorodu


Epe/ lekki


from ota, isheri to Ikeja



Even on the island the Benin monarch that ruled doesn't own any land it belonged to the idejo (Awori chiefs) A Yoruba clan also found in Ogun state.


I will agree with you that the Binis were the first non Yorubas to arrive at Lagos, not Igbos, not Hausas not even the British.

Go and read your history books

You don't know what you are saying you are the changing history to suit you and your people
you come from one village in Ogun or Osun or Oyo, and try to re-write the history of EKO!!!

dhardline:

dreamwords:

Afonja land is as barren as Bleep,,
Iboland has a lot of resources from crude oil , gas reserve etc,
