You think your ego blackmail work on Wednesdays?
My dear if making firm stance on my land is called stealing and makes me a fool then I am a foolish thief.
Ubani and Opobo are not negotiable.
You can negotiate Lagos with Bini and Ijaw not us. We don't tolerate stupidity
Eastlink:
Nothing like the truth. What truth do you even know? If you know the truth then we can assume that Ajegunle, Olodi Apapa, Ondo south and Warri belongs to the Ijaws according to INC nationalist. We can also assume that Benin own Lagos according to Great Benin Descendants.
Before claiming to know the truth, ensure you look at the arguments of both sides before claiming Judge.
lol
who lives there?
who are the traditional rulers?
you guys should better move your strength to more productive things
you just wasting your time
So you had to travel all the way to Senegal to find a hazel eyed Fulani. I am sure by the time I travel to Togo, I will also find a hazel eyed Yoruba.
But in my own extended family, I have about 6 or 7 hazel eyed people,and they are completely Igbo, with no blood infusion from any fairer tribe for the past traceable 300 years
a Yoruba woman and all her children have blue eyes
You are only showing pictures taken in the 1960s. I need pictures taken in the late 1800s and early 1900 (not later than 1910s)
I can even guarantee that those fair ladies there are not completely Yoruba. They are either mixed with Europeans or Igbos.
Tomorrow, you start to tell us that FFK's sons have typical Yoruba complexion.
you guys have totally lost your common sense
I just taya
skybeauty:
All this “we are not igbo” flooding our cyber space comes mostly from Ijaw people. People don’t know that 60% of Niger Delta is IGBO with the remaining 40% having Igbo blood in their veins.
Nigeria is 97% eboe
china is 76% Eboe
Egypt is 92% Eboe
1. The first People to leave Igodomigodo, capital city of Igodo were the Urhobo, they know Benin as Akah.
2. The next set of People that left Benin was Prince Izoduwa, a banished Prince, banished by Oliha and the palace chiefs. When the custodian of the throne died, he was looked for, in the hinterland ( ife ), prior his arrival to Ife, history has it the clans there not united, he united them and has a son in Oyo as Alaafin while he remained in Ife as Diviner.
When the emissary from Igodo came to Izoduwa ( Oduduwa ), he was old and couldn't leave, hence he sent the last of his son, Oranmiyan in his stead, Oranmiyan lived in present Day Usen and renamed the place Ile'Ibinu which means land of the angry,
a. Brcause he didnt understand the language.
b. He didnt understand the politics played there
He said only a son born in Benin can rule Benin. He gave birth to a son named Eweka, and He returned to Ife.
Oranmiyan was the First One and 36th Ogiso ( Oba of Benin during His coronation )
The other People that left Benin was the Was an folks starting during the time of One Ewuare the first who changed the Name Bini to Edo in respect to A servabt who saved his Life. Harsh laws and injustice, running away from the law, made the Esan fled.
The other People who left Edo was Prince Opkameri, who formed the Edo north Chiefdoms, He later became Oba Ozolua who died during the Benin - Esan War.
The Itshekiris left at a later time, after Ozolua and before Esigie. Thier kings name always start with Oghiamen means Lord of Water.
During the Idah - Benin war, Esigie extended Benin rule accross the Niger ( Orisha - Ado, corrupted to Onitcha Ado ).
Also it was during the time of Esigie, Benin founded Eko ( Lagos ) a forward base in,doing business with the Europeans.
The king maker in Itshekiri and highest title holder is Ologbostere, a title with Benin Origin, recall the Delta state government issued it won't recognise the Olu if Ologbostere didn't approve his coronation which led the Oba of Benin to intervene. His reason were, it is against tradition to have a king of a Yoruba mother.
There are 3 version of bini language,
The old Akah variant
The old yoroboid variant and another which ive forgotten...
Lol
Even Owo has Benin ancestry and part of Ado - Ekiti.
Come with facts bro, I'm jobless today, lets make it fun with facts,
keep decieving yourselves
I know it must be painful loosing supposed vassals
I didn't read this though
so don't write an epistle next time
but I want to ask a little question
why does Itsekiri have a functional OPC (Oduduwa peoples Congress)?
argue with gregyboy your master in lies and tao11 has disgraced many a time
