Great! But that narrative about Yoruba origin from Nile valley is wrong. Everything started from Ground Zero, and thats why Ile-Ife is within point zero point on the latitude and longitude (equator). Even this modern Ife, where this arts are derived from is much younger than the more ancient Ife, which was more to the north of Nigeria and were same people of the Nok Culture.. Compare the artwork at 13:21 to a Nok Culture terracotta displayed in the link below, 2nd from left on front row. Nok was around 1000 BCE. www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=576113405&sxsrf=AM9HkKnISPSmoq36mAdQIVmT7yxGSSq27g:1698156157035&q=nok+culture,+museum&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZ94zU7I6CAxUFrmoFHdY9D0AQ0pQJegQIBxAB&biw=384&bih=677&dpr=1.88#imgrc=eoshO1_n-iP_dM

Border with zamfara is even good, i have heard these people say they created EDO Kingdom in far far far away Japan.

@@AIupclose lol all kinds of crazy things bini youths like to say

This man is looking for cheap popularity. He should go and do some good research about the historical past about these people in Nigeria.

Dreamer...Stop trying to claim greatness, go and claim your Fulani cousins!

Stop lying, show us the evidence as there has been no prove. You realise there is also a place called Ife Kogi state? Yoruba give up your nonsense with your falling from sky rubbish.

@@oyenmwenefevbeoghogho7978 What more proof are you looking for? The same place your Oba of Benin has visited??? Don't be lazy and make your research. Even on this very CZcams you will get the answers

@@jaymanjay2835 So CZcams is what your tribe use to call research? See your head, Ile Ife that was built by Portuguese in 1543 is where our kings were buried from 40BC?😂😂 We want to see archaeological evidence, Our palace has denied this claim many times. You people should stop lying, you are not our relative's, you only trying to attach yourself to Benin Kingdom historical glories as Ife has none. Claim your Fulani cousins! Yoruba, stop lying to the world, Oba of Benin throne was not banished, Oba Overamwen was sent on exile, died there and this son resumed the throne. I really hate strangers like Yoruba trying to tell Benin history, let Edo, Urhobo and others tell it not you. You are not part of our identity!

@@oyenmwenefevbeoghogho7978 You see why I called you lazy?? Who told you there was not archaeological evidence to back up the claim that previous Oba of Benin heads where buried in Ife? Hahaha it is the joke of the century to claim Ile- Ife was built by Portuguese. I will still refer you to the simplest place, your Oba of Benin(Ado) has gone to visit the site. Simple find it on CZcams. Of course palace of Oba of Benin will keep putting out other narratives out and we completely understand the pressure coming from the Ogiso/Ogiame descendants. Ile-Ife established Obaship in Benin. They were lots of migrants that moved around the 11-12 centuries to the present day Edo state, the Usen people are migrants from Ile Ife as well. The Olu Awure or Alawure of Usen which you corrupted to Elawure are also parts of those that migrated with Oranmiyan. This are fact that are very traceable simple make your research and stop dwelling on propaganda😊

@@jaymanjay2835 Show me the link to the video where he visited the grave since you have it. I hope you are not going to show where Oduduwa or Oranmiyan was buried where he visited. We know Yoruba and lies very well. Yes, your ile Ife was built in 1543, I bet they didn't tell you that most of you people were under Benin Kingdom empire for over 300 years. British invasion gave you life and we can see it, stop trying to attach us to your nonsense.

How did he pay homage? You are aware that Ooni kills 2 cows when Oba of Benin visits Ife, Ooni must also kill 5 black cows when he visits Benin Kingdom, why is that? Benin Kingdom doesn't have to kill anything. Why did you think Oduduwa kept such instructions? Keep deceiving yourselves!

Oduduwa was from Benin!

Ile ife did not give birth to Benin Kingdom...That is absolutely rubbish!

@@oyenmwenefevbeoghogho7978 so how did Obaship started in Benin? You people just don't want to accept simple history facts with evidence right in your face.

Ile ife gave birth to no Yoruba city talkless of Benin. The only thing great about ile life is the affiliation with Benin. This art work ile life is carrying is all Benin empire.

TV hahahaha keep twisting history. Even your Oba of Benin stated clearly that every historians agreed that Oranmiyan came to the land Idu Igodomigodo and fought, meant a lad that gave birth to Ado whom is later called Eweka for Oranmiyan and he established Obaship in that land. We all know what the propaganda of the runaway price that Oba Erediauwa cleverly put in his book, just because the Aborigines of the land reminded him of the Obligation of Ekiokpagha treaty. So he distorter history to suit his narrative.

@@jaymanjay2835 Stop lying on Our Oba he never said that! Always deceitful! The video is on CZcams..Why does Yoruba people specialise in lies? He said Oduduwa was on exile in Igomigodo who later found safety at Ife...But he said for peace to rain, let Benin people let Yoruba believe what they believe and Benin Believe their own. Ooni of Ife is the last person right now we Edo want to hear...we absolutely hate him...Evil man...Do you not see how he has planned with other evils people (arisco, Ooni and one governor) against our Oba, the case is in court in Lagos!

Ibo man, you no go dey your lane now. Go search your Ibo history from Israel that had long rejected you

​@@AIupcloseDon't mind him... 😂😂

Tell them, because they don’t do proper research before coming to CZcams. Benin is a great empire of its own

It’s embarrassing 🙈 how I know this and I’m neither a expert or a Nigerian but the “ experts “ get it wrong? 😑

@@mikhailmaimoonahoward when talking about benin art and benin kingship you would have to talk about the yoruba as benin kingdom and the yoruba kingdoms were in the same region sharing knowledge and culture. The kings of benin came from the yoruba city of Ile-ife, and the artists of benin did as well. that is why historians treat benin and Ile-ife arts in the same topic

Not the entire ondo sir,some towns in ondo are older than ile ife according to archaeologists

Ile don't have date or how he came about Benin have history how everything began Does story they are saying most of them are lie

Yoruba av history because all Yoruba migrate from ile ife including your that Benin go to Togo Benin Republic an soo many speaking Yoruba country go an meet there king they will tell you that there forefather migrate from ile. Including your Benin 'how many people migrate fom Benin total noo" if you don't know history go an sleep if I may ask you a question can you please tell any idol (orisha)that came from Benin that Yoruba is worshipped total no even one but let can tell you more than 10 Yoruba orisha that from Yoruba that you people worship like ogun sango obatalla ayelala olokun an soo many are they from Benin all is from ile ife'you people too argue talk about oba there's oba in ile ife before Benin even before oduduwa' like obatala obalufon obaluaye obamiran there all rulling on there own territory's oduduwa is not even first oba in ile ife but the first oba of Benin is from ile ife 'I respect oba of Benin soo much I respect the throne of Benin because ile ife an Benin av a good history an good relationship am not from ile ife' why is everyday is about ile ife an Benin wy not with other's is because of relationship an history an you my Benin Kingdom people always insult yoruba but the ibo people that's trying to rewrite your history that you don't have anything common with you are trying to embrace them insuiting yoruba that that's don't even a time for nonsense argument let come together an make great' great ife great Benin Thanks

@@agbajeadetokunbo9584 u are wrong bro is saving gods make a relationship or make someon greater no. We are not relate we speak different language our culture is different,,,,,,, for example Jesus Christ is from Israel does that mean every Christian is from Israel I don't want to argue with you What I no is that Benin is not yoruba Yoruba is not Benin And oromiyan is not the first king in Benin 31 Kings have ruled Before oduduwa or oromiyan came I want to ask a question who is the first king in ile ife

It would be better Ile Ife shut up too. How do you think Benin should be relegated by mere archaeological material dated back to the 11th century.

​@@nmg1909 You Benin people should be the people who should shut up and stop making false claims and unnecessary noise,the Yoruba people are not the people responsible for the examination,the people responsible are international professional archaeologists,and archaeological materials don`t lie,there is no doubt that Ile Ife is older than Benin .There are other international examinations proving that Ile Ife is far older than Benin,apart from this particular archaeological examination or the issue of who is older between the Yoruba people or the Benin people ,the Yoruba people are too big to be compared with the Benin people in any aspect of life

@@robertsycing1954 Don't mind That nnamdi, he is not even a Benin, he is an ibo/igbo, They are Culture vultures

Oduduwa descended with chain to ile ife in his second coming. He was there with obatala during the creation in the first phase of ile ife know as ife oodaye, during this period only the 401 Orishas were in ile ife…. If u want to know more do ur research abt Yoruba mythology.

Shame you don't even know these basic questions about Benin but yet you guys will be arguing. Should a Benin person give you the answer now, you will disagree, It is best you can get all this your answer from the Benin royal monarch book written by Oba of Benin, on sale on Amazon or book stores! Peace!

@@oyenmwenefevbeoghogho7978 Thank you my brother is very big shame can you please tell me the really answer .

@@sadebayo5428 I am NOT your brother or sister. Like I said earlier, you can get the answers from Benin monarch book written by Oba of Benin, all your answers are there because you will still argue it with me that is the Yoruba way- I must be right! I have it, over 500 pages, an eye opener!

@@oyenmwenefevbeoghogho7978 Ok thank you first am not here to argue about supremacy but to enlighten ourselves.First all the questions I asked I have the answer as a historian and researcher not as yoruba man or Benin man,secondly if you want to know the hidden information about yorubas and Benins go to Egypt,Greece , Portugal and Britain.I don't believe in any book written by any kings in Nigeria as a researcher most of the books written by our kings in Nigeria are purposely written to boost their throne and supremacy over other kings,even the number one history book of Nigeria that you will found in any countries libraries or in universities the book of samuel ajay,if you are a historian and researcher you will know that samuel ajay books reviewed many truth but also hidden many truth because he wanted to boost oyo over others because he was an oyo man.Let me give you one info go read Jacob's book his from benin and his one of benin historian that I respect alot because of the information I got from his book when I was making research on lagos and it environment.

Thanks for the book recommedation. If really are an historian or acedamic, you would know it is best to get the right straight from the right person because none of us know his family history than himself, he is the direct descendant, not you or me. Although some of your people claim it as if they are his biological father or they were there!🤣🤣

All these Benin children, it amazes me how you all come to a public space as this to show the height and level of your foolishness. Imagine you a mere nobody telling a Professor of History how to present results of his history research of Africa. All those jargon ,false and distorted history you people write allover social media is not new. We know y'all trying really hard to be relevant but writing false narratives as you claim above just to suit your egos everywhere on social media will only rubbish your shrinking little Benin Kingdom.

@@AIupclose First of all his research is not a peer reviewed research which means it hasn't been critically evaluated to meet the authenticity standards of scholarly research. His hypothesis and empirical data are wrong. Let's test just one of his hypothesis. He assumed, that because Benin moved her capital from Udo to Ugbekun then it automatically means the first arrival of Ogiso came from Ife mean while there was nothing like Ife at that time. Additionally, Udo is closer to the Benin river far to the Oghortun of current day Niger Delta. How did old pot found be archeology translate into Ogiso came from Ife?. Have u even read the paper? Have u check the proximity of the said location s?. Go and educate your mind before u start calling people children. Note: His p-value, mean N, standard deviation are all wrong thus constituted hug varience and outer layer. A professors can be wrong. By the way, do u know if I am a professor?.
