.... Stop using yoruba interpretation for benin words, stop it... Omo n'oba.. The n' cannot be omitted which yorubas are currently doing to give a yoruba false meaning why are they skipping the n' in the word.... Its like saying, i am going! in English another person says, i am also going! there is a big difference between the two words tho look alike but the 'also' is a big difference there and it changes everything Omo n'oba which can also be spelled as omo n' ba is the appropriate short form of the king of benin title.. Oba is the corrupt word used by the Portuguese and European and yorubas. Omo n'oba nedo means the child that shines for the edo people... The oba title is a praisal name If it was the otherway around like you interpreted as a son of the oba, that would be 'ovbioba' not 'omo n'oba' in benin Note we benins never addressed the oba of benin as oba instead omo n'oba which was the appropriate short form... Until after the creation of Nigeria the name oba of benin became widely used and accepted by the edos And till date the edo locals still address the king in edo language as omo no' nedo The word oba had come into the yoruba lexicon through benin conquest on thier land its a usually thing to know to the title of thier overlord and they had referred him as oba The oromiyan sojourn myth is a fairytale , |

I'm a Benin person, but I'll like to know the factuality of this claim. From my years of knowing that title, it has always been pronounced with the meaning of "...King of Edo" and not "...that shines for edo". |

gregyboy:ỌMỌ is actually the title or appellation of the Ọba of Benin. Ọba means ruler (all borrowed from the Yorubas. Ọmọ N'Oba is simply means Ọmọ the ruler. Ọmọ ni Ọba ni Ẹdo is how the king of Benin is appropriately addressed in Yoruba as that is the language and tribe of him and his ancestors. Just like saying Alake ni Ọba Egba, Alafin ni Oba ni Òyó etc. ỌMỌ being the title or appellation, Oba being the common noun for ruler. Ọmọ N'Oba N'edo in the Edo language dictionary and vocabulary simply means Ọba the Ruler of Benin

Omo means child, pikin Ur king na pikin... |
| jaymichael(m): 9:33am On Feb 17 |
illicit:Yes. Omo means child and the also the appellation of Oba Bini because he is the "child" of the Ooni of Ife. No Benin person born of a woman can go to the Bini palace, stand in front of the Ọba of Bini and say He/she is Ọmọ. It is like going in front of the Ooni in Ife and say you are (the) Ooni. Abomination. 1 Like |

Stephen0mozzy: I don't believe you're benin maybe igbo or yoruba but, i believe you base there Anyways... All titles given to kings has meaning to the particular culture the word may signify a position, or any role The word president mean ruler.... But to the Roman's it has a deeper meaning because they own the word they know the atory behind it..... |

jaymichael: Omo no'ba nedo ukwapolo( the child that shines for the edo people Omo =child No= that Ba= shines Ne= for Edo= we benins I have broken it down we edos don't speak yorubas so i don't know where the ni, and the yoruba interpretation is coming from Benin and ife never even had any interaction until after 1914 oromiyan fairytales was forged During indirect rule system, but yorubas wont rest about it because it hurts their ego so bad about the reality Lastly underline your point in that edo directional i don't get what you're trying to make out of it Lastly we have ovbioba(child of the oba) Ovbiogie(child of a Duke) |

gregyboy: Ur king is our boy... |
| gregyboy(m): 12:34pm On Feb 17 |
illicit: Unless proven Oba from ife came to benin not Urhobo, not Agbor but benin yet he came, without leaving a footprint unless the name... His regalia are edos, ada and eben is edo, the wives dress edo, all the names of the chiefs in the palace are edo names lastly there is no idols like ogun, ayelala yorubas are dragging with benins that belongs to them... In the palace of the oba od benin Ao what evidence can you use to convince me That the king od benin came drom ife... |
| illicit(m): 12:37pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy: The prove is in the title Omonoba Alaafin is the Oba, your king is the Omo Nothing more, nothing less... |
| jaymichael(m): 12:49pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy:I don't do fairytales, I provided a reference from your EDO LANGUAGE DICTIONARY, Very likely written before you were born. OMO N'OBA N'EDO = OMO THE RULER OF BENIN. Give verifiable reference for the rubbish you just typed abi pulled from your hairy anus I can also tell you that My Edo friend also says it also means "The flying dragon that flew down from heaven" If dem born you well, can you call your Oba "NO" or "Ba"? You call him "OBA". |

jaymichael: Please circle the omonooba in the dictionary |
| jaymichael(m): 1:39pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy:If you decide to be blind, sorry I can't help you. I am not an optician. |
| gregyboy(m): 1:53pm On Feb 17 |
jaymichael: Lol.... I don't have a good eyesight please you can help me encircle it |
| jaymichael(m): 1:55pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy:If you are smart, since I have given you the Title and Author of the dictionary and the reference page from the screenshot. You would look for the dictionary, and read for yourself. The dictionary was not written by a Yoruba nor a foreigner. The dictionary was written by A BINI PERSON. NB: Check the highlighted and the underlined. You will see it clearly. ỌMỌ the APPELLATION FOR THE OBA OF BENIN. ỌMỌ N'OBA N'EDO = ỌMỌ THE RULER OF BENIN.

jaymichael: Do you mean... The one i marked with red...? It only said appellation! don't you know the meaning of appellation? It wasn't even giving the meaning of omo n' oba but rather it was still on a discussion on omo....
|
| jaymichael(m): 2:10pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy:You see the "appellation" part but you no see where the underlined start from the bottom left to the top right That water wey you drink from palace strong o. How does it feels being an Ovien-Oba sef?

| gregyboy(m): 2:42pm On Feb 17 |
jaymichael: Did he say the child the meaning of omo n'oba Is the child of the oba? Nope! It was only explaining the omo in the attachment with the rest words and at the end it made it know, omo no oba is a king Stop misinterpreting to justify your own thought he never said omo n'oba means the child of a king it was only using omo n'oba to explain omo as an example If you're to belive your own thought then ask yourself apart from oba what else did oromiyan fairytale bring to the oba palace...you can use as evidence You're fighting for yoruba ownership of oba alone but left other evidence |
| gregyboy(m): 2:46pm On Feb 17 |
jaymichael: Did it say child of the oba.. If he is to explain it that would be another topic in the dictionary |
| jaymichael(m): 2:50pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy:. it says OMO N'OBA N'EDO - ỌMỌ THE RULER OF BENIN. There is no BA BO SHINE or whatever rubbish you wrote there. It doesn't say OMO N"OBA N'EDO means the child that shines for Benin like you lied. It says the meaning of OMO N'OBA'N' EDO is ỌMỌ THE RULER OF BENIN. Repeat after me ỌMỌ THE RULER OF BENIN |
| Stephen0mozzy: 3:19pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy: Epa, I'm probably more ovbiedo than you. To present self-interpretation as though its a fact, is just plainly unnecessary. Oba Ewuare II is King Ewuare. The additional titles (Omo n'oba n'edo uku akpolokpolor) does not remove the title of Oba from his name too. Languages often have similarities, it doesn't mean that one tribe that shares same meaning of a word owe their ancestry to the other. Plus, all arguments not founded in documented history, is just a party of egotist trying to show who has a bigger ego. |
| gregyboy(m): 6:46pm On Feb 17 |
jaymichael: You can find the word piece by piece if the dictionary is we detailed instead of being ecstasy about the word omo... The dictionary was only explaining omo (child) in the sentence omo n'oba nedo... Only the omo... To further help you you can go and search for the different meaning that makes up the word Either orally or literally you already got omo and oba because we both share same word thanks to we benins for introducing it to you lot you can go further to ask for the rest instead of concluding you know every syllable in the sentence that is not even yoruba When you're done then ask yourself Why can't they find idols that both yorubas and edos tend to share in the palace of the benins it can only be found in the street of benin as utility idols, why is the oba of benin not dressing in yoruba oba attire since inception, why is there no corrupt yoruba names of chiefs that came from ife to form the oba dynasty we should see names like Balogun if not the exact name but a corrupt form, or even names of street . Our imprint in yoruba lands can be felt... Without any deep search our edo families can be found in Lagos, ondo and Co even the names of our street, our artworks can be seen in ondo Lastly the other thing that seem similar again between benin and ife is the artwork that both made in the past but still distinct apart, the designs are different, the materials are different the ideology for the usage is different, while the benin artworks were found in benin, that of the ife artworks was found scattered all over osun which further suggest ife wasn't the originator of this artworks |

Stephen0mozzy: The oba of benin is in a game or was in a game Of superiority battle with yorubas this thing started during our time in the western region as they insulted the oba of. Benin during western region meetings the pay back was trying to overlord the with the forged history they saw it coming and they refute it Ife and benin historically never meant but the yorubas even tho they know this will never quit because when we edos tell our glorious history they feel hurt by it the way they can get back is to tell the fake history of oromiyan sojourn in benin |
| jaymichael(m): 7:49pm On Feb 17 |
gregyboy:How does all these gabbage you typed show Omo N'oba N'edo meant the rubbish you asserted earlier. Even your Edo brethren don talk say na rubbish you dey talk. Edo is your language as you claimed, it shouldn't be too difficult to prove like I did with linguistic evidence I provided from your own Edo dictionary ỌMỌ means CHILD and OBA meaning CHILD and also the appellation or the TITLE OF THE RULER OF BENIN and Ọmọ N'Oba N' Edo meaning "ỌMỌ THE RULER OF BENIN. |
| gregyboy(m): 8:26pm On Feb 17 |
jaymichael: Lol..appellation Go and find every meaning of the word that makes the sentence if they still mean what you're putting up there then you win.... Until then you have an assignment You still have lot to prove i listed many buttress in my last mention to you which you have decided to skip but then wallow only on emotional blackmail from a book you're forcing meaning to I will advice you to visit my profile to get a brief recap about what i stand for.... For ages Until then your dictionary readings are full with emotions if the author wanted to explain omo n'oba he will explain it separately |
| jaymichael(m): 6:48am On Feb 19 |
gregyboy:You dey among those tiktok morons wey call themselves historians. Show evidence or reference for the jargons you typed you no fit. At least I have provided something verifiable as a reference, you haven't presented even tissue paper or sanitary pad as evidence. Show something at least even if na rubbish, just show something. Appellation simply means NAME or TITLE. 1.Ọmọ is the Bini word for CHILD (borrowed from Yoruba of course). 2. Ọmọ is also and APPELLATION, NAME, TITLE for the ỌBA (of Benin). 3. ỌMỌ N'OBA N'EDO iin your language means ỌMỌ THE RULER OF BENIN. Not that rubbish shine for Bini or the nonsense you wrote there. The Bà tbat means light or to shine like a dull red colour ♥️ in ur language wuth the "Do" tonal sound doesn't mean king OBA with "MI RE" tonal sound. Then no burn you or your fathers well to call your OBA "BÀ" Them go use una serve the next UGIE ODUDUWA or AGUE OFHENE festival. |
| gregyboy(m): 8:13am On Feb 19 |
jaymichael: I see you have gone tl read and you have learnt you just repeated what you habe been saying back to me nothing new... Even one of oba of benin praise name is his own name, omo no'ba nedo Omo = child No= that Ba = shines Oba=its shines Nedo= for edo You can go, amd fumd this word in, tje dictionary word to word, if it says something different screenshot it and send to me to make it easy ask, a benin person orally you are free to record it, i mean ask a benin person every single word that i broke down Stop using yoruba interpretation on a benin word.... Lastly while you're at that you can help me answer some few more questions How come the idols both the benin and yoruba share together that yorubas happens to claim came from them can't even found in the palace of the oba of benin, why also? Why does the oba of benin not dress in an ife attire since inception, no corrupt yoruba names of chiefs that could tell the benin palace had a transformation at a time, no yoruba idols, where is the evidence unless the name oba we share together and we all know it was taken from benin to yoruba lands during our conquest in their lands |
