@Opeyemi Olawoore igodomigodo now Benin, has had 31 kings even before yourself acclaimed progenitor was born. yariba is a language and not a tribe, there are more than nineteen different ethnic nationalities that now speak oyo-ibadan language, that does not make you yariba. that is why the oba of lagos rejected your yariba propaganda and claim Benin ancestry, same with the olugbo of ugbo land. keep dreaming.
You dey mind dis slaves, dia eye go soon clear
I swear, When China is thriving for economic innovations these clowns are living in the past
@@riverstate396 😂😭 So you have to call an emote people slaves all because of what because you're pained that the yorubas founded your kingdom?? This is hilarious. The inferiority complex is loud
I've given you evidence and corrected you with facts but you keep spreading this bigoted narrative with no basis in history or academia. You're seriously pained and so you will be all the days of your life
Ooni dynasty started before Oduduwa and before Ogiso in Benin..Yoruba is a language of the Yoruba people who their origin is Ile Ife,it is also a language spoken with different dialects in every part of Yoruba land .The present Oba of Lagos is originally from Benin,the other three families sharing the throne of Lagos Island with the present Oba of Laags are Yoruba people,the royalty of Lagos island is connected to Benin,but the Awori people who are the land owners are Yoruba people,.Olugbo of Ugbo land never rejected Yoruba language.Ugbo people migrated from Ife to their present location in Ondo state and they are Yoruba people and Yoruba speakers as well,the Ugbo king and the Ooni of Ife are only fighting for supremacy but they are both Yoruba people,.Edo people are the people of different ethnicity with different languages.Yoruba is a race not people of different ethnicity.Yoruba people have their Yoruba towns and cities where Yoruba culture and tradition are practised
One who believe in intellectual honesty is characterised by readiness of mind to scrutinized what one believe to be true and to pay sufficient attention to other evidence available Edo is a community of a diversity of culture.have U ever ask urself that the artifacts that was unearthed in Benin palace was also found in Ife palace? archeological evidence prove shows that the Ife artifacts is older than that of Benin. I do believe that the Benin migrated from ile-Ife but they are not Yoruba.
I appreciate your honesty and lack of bigotry many of your brothers show. But the premise that yoruba people gave birth to benin or benin people gave birth to yoruba people is erroneous and the cause of why you think you need to counter by sayingybenin migrated from ife and not yoruba or the reason some of your brothers show extreme hate.
The relationship is in monarchy or kingdom formation. The people who migrated to benin was the monarch(ewekas father) , some chiefs and Thier companioms servants etc. They formed the benin kingdom and influenced the spirituality and certain cultural elements including a bit of language as well as benin was a bilingual kingdom. That's where it ends. The benin people remain their own people
It was all propaganda by the British invaders, ile ife never had bronze casters let alone casting bronze, or can you refer us to Ile-Ife bronze casters guide located in Yoruba?? All those bronze sculptures were all made by the Benin's during the time of oduduwa and sent as royalty. If ife thought Benin bronze casting, why didn't they teach oyo, ijebu, aworis, ilesha, eko, Ado-Ekiti, Ondo etc bronze casting? Do be fool.
@@paulphilip257 Lol 😂 everything is propaganda.
Do you yourself believe that, so anything you don't like is propaganda but what you like isn't propaganda?? A documentary was done during akenzua time and in the documentary the benin people were clear and rebugged racist remarks that the bronzes were made by portuguese they were so clear they learnt it from ile- ife and made it themselves. I guess Jacob egharevba, oba akenzua, oba eweka 2,all the palace chiefs who were egharevba sources were all
Your question is so silly, because you don't know and you're asking like you know because you're so desperate amd locked up in an imaginary competition with ife or yorubas. The whole world knows bronzes were made in ife, there's enough evidence for it, bronze casting ended in ife a long time ago so there's no much people still doing it however they're still few families who still pass on the knowledge.
Lol there was bronzes in ijebu and owo too and many neighbouring kingdoms near ife. You're just embarrassing yourself and showing yourself an illiterate and one who doesn't read. You are basically showing you're very pained. Is this even an objective discussion lol. And I'm not the one who told your people to say they learnt it from ife, that's benin tradiotons from the casters themselves written before post 1970s revisions. Stop crying baby 🤱 you'll be fine 🙂😢
@@toyosioyejobi309abeg na when you go get sense🤷♂️
@@jefexiyamu204 is this supposed to be a rebuttal or a cry of frustration and pain? 😂
It's so hilarious how much this guy tries to link oranmiyan so much to benin😭😂 oranmiyan has an oriki, same as oduduwa he has absolutely nothing to do with benin other going there to extend ifes influence
Have you ever seen a normal human from that palace?
Too much noise
This guy is not interested in Edo true history
How do you mean, what do you know apart from propaganda and falsehood?

@@yuyhajoseph4767 still making noise as usual, what do you know about history of west African or great Benin empire?
Edo people are part of the people called isrealite. Priest in Israel where called kohen. Which in Edo is ohen.
The part that was left the Benin kingdom because they didn’t want to live under the conditions against their purity in lifestyle and culture. Those things are in the Torah, very opposite of the Benin way of life
@@jacksanders5985 if you want to hide the people called isrealite call them isrealites. Those people never call themselves isrealites.

Oba of benin is from ile-ife. Please go and ask Chief Isekhure were Oba come from .Oba should tell us his father village. Ogiamie family is the own of Utantan igodomigodo.
Foolish talk!
@rosemary onyia he is not from ile-ife
oromiyan is a son of oduduwa

@@ohuehonesty9993 Oba of benin use his own mouth to tell the whole world that he his from OROMIYAN grandchild from ile-ife fact. I'm from Osadiaye family from ldu igodomigodo fact. Oba family is from YORUBA why are you people hiding the fact from Idu igodomigodo shame on you. I'm the same age with Robinson Eheneden Erediawa Ewure 2. He should leave our land we don't need him again. King Ogiamien owns the land not Oba fact. The land is angry with him because he's a wrong man in our land. King Ogiamien ghator kpere lseee lseee.
She is correct .
last year you claim uhe in edo. few month ago he claim uhe in kogi . now he claim uhe is now benin is this guy serious about history or propaganda....telling those grown up people a poem funny guy
Will you Keep quiet there. i have been following izoduwa for the past 4 years now on social media... there's no historical account that he gave that uhe is in edo or benin... He has always been keeping it straight on uhe history..
Bro, Uhe is Ufe.
He should accept that Bini was created as a satellite trade town to the south by Ufe 😔.
Don't you think this Ekaladerhan changing his name to Ooduwa is quite suspicious?
Ans: "that's because the Ekaladerhan and Ooduwa stories/legends are two different and incompatible stories, that had to be linked by a useless, ridiculous and unnecessary change of name by the protagonist of the story".
Enjoy bro/sis

@@paulphilip257 Hey bro! I come I peace.
I think it would be okay if you actually knew this about the origin of the name Yoruba.Enjoy..
the name “Yariba” was first attested in a
treatise by a 16th-century Songhai Islamic scholar by the name of Ahmad Baba to refer to the people of the ancient Oyo
Empire,
Ahmad B aba’s 1613 essay, titled “Alkashf wa-l-bayān li-aṣnāf majlūb al-Sūdān” (translated into English as “The Exposition and Explanation Concerning the Varieties of Transported Black Africans”), mentioned “Yariba” among ethnic
groups Muslims were justified to enslave.
In his 1806 treatise titled “Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra, Ala L-Ibad,” Sheikh Usmanu Dan Fodiyo referenced Ahmad Baba’s essay and contested some of its claims. Ahmad Baba had written that “the people of Kano, some of Zakzak [Zaria?], the people of Katsina, the people of Gobir, and all of the Songhay” were Muslims who could never be enslaved.
Since Dan Fodio didn’t think the Islam in Hausaland at the time was authentic, he needed to justify his jihad, so he responded to Ahmad Baba posthumously by asserting that what was true of Ahmadu Baba’s claims 200 years ago, “might not necessarily be true at all other times, since every scholar relates what he sees in his own days.”Dan Fodio’s son, Muhammad Bello, wrote Infaq al-mansur in 1813 where he also responded to Ahmad Baba’s 1613 essay, and had cause to mention “Yariba.” In other words, the name “Yariba” had been used to refer to people of the ancient Oyo Empire at least 200 years before Dan Fodio and his son, Muhammad Bello, used it.
That invalidates the claim that it was the “Fulani” who “gave” the name “Yariba” to people in today’s western Nigeria. In any case, “Yariba” doesn’t mean anything in Fulfulde.
As etymologists remind us, before a word is attested in writing, it must have existed several years in demotic speech. That means “Yariba” had been in use much earlier than 1613 when it first appeared in writing-which is hundreds of years before the Fulani encountered the Yoruba.
Now that we have established that it is chronologically impossible for the Fulani to have “given” the name “Yariba” to Oyo people, where did the name come from? It’s obvious that Songhai people (who are now found in Niger Republic, parts of Benin Republic, and parts of Mali as Zarma and Dendi) have called Oyo people some version of “Yariba” since at least the 1500s. But the name may not be original to them, either.
The name “Yoruba” owes lexical provenance to the Baatonu people of Borgu,
Oyo’s immediate northern neighbors, whom contemporary Yoruba people call Bariba, Baruba or Ibariba. The Baatonu
word for Oyo people is “Yoru” (singular), “Yorubu” (plural). The third person reference to the people is “Yoruba.”
“The name was probably sourced from Songhay contact with Borgu, later reinforced through interviews with Baatonu
slaves in Sierra Leone and popularised by European travellers like Clapperton and missionary documentation, such as
the works of Samuel Johnson in the nineteenth century”.
This isn’t a far-fetched proposition because Songhai, Borgu, and Oyo had deep cultural and historical ties. For one, it was
Songhai-speaking Mande people from ancient Mali who brought Islam to Borgu and to Yoruba land, which explains why Islam is called “imale” in the Yoruba language.
Two, the three polities share several common cultural vocabularies.
Interestingly, the Baatonu people (more than 80 percent of whom are now in Benin Republic) don’t call other Yoruba groups “Yoruba.”
For instance, they call the Yoruboid groups in Benin Republic Kawo (plural Kaabu or Kawobu). “Yorubu” is reserved
only for Oyo Yoruba. It’s obvious that Ahmad Baba wrote“Yoruba” as “Yariba” in his 1613 essay because Arabic, the language in which he wrote, does not have the vowel “o.” The three dominant vowels in Arabic are “a,” “I,” and "u".
Obviously, both the Fulani and the Hausa copied the name “Yariba” from the Songhai who in turn copied it from the Baatonu people of Borgu. I speak the Baatonu language natively; if the name “Yoru” had a meaning in the language, that meaning is lost now. But there is not the faintest whiff of derogation in the name when the Baatonu people use it to refer to Oyo people. Nor does it mean anything even in Songhai.
What is significant, however, is that people of Western Nigeria aren’t called “Yoruba” today because the Borgu people
called them so, or because they were identified by a version of that name by Songhai, Hausa, and Fulani people. They
self-identify as “Yoruba” precisely because returnee slaves of Yoruba descent chose the name, popularised it, and encouraged people in the region to embrace it.

Fulani And Origin Of The Names “Yoruba” And “Yamiri”
NOTES FROM ATLANTA WITH FAROOQ KPEROGI

FORMER Minister of Culture Femi Fani-Kayode started a healthy national conversation about the constructed-ness of collective identities in Nigeria when he repudiated his “Yoruba” identity because he said the name owes etymological debts to the Fulani and that it has pejorative denotations and connotations. This is, of course, both a historical and factually inaccurate.
As I pointed out in my preliminary intervention on his claims on social media, the name “Yariba” was first attested in a
treatise by a 16th-century Songhai Islamic scholar by the name of Ahmad Baba to refer to the people of the ancient Oyo
Empire, which included all of present-day Oyo State, most of Osun State-and parts of Kwara and some western Nigerian states.
Ahmad B aba’s 1613 essay, titled “Alkashf wa-l-bayān li-aṣnāf majlūb al-Sūdān” (translated into English as “The Exposition and Explanation Concerning the Varieties of Transported Black Africans”), mentioned “Yariba” among ethnic
groups Muslims were justified to enslave.
In his 1806 treatise titled “Bayan Wujub Al-Hijra, Ala L-Ibad,” Sheikh Usmanu Dan Fodiyo referenced Ahmad Baba’s essay and contested some of its claims.

But the name may not be original to them, either.
Dr. Hussaini Abdu, in his forthcoming book titled Partitioned Borgu: State, Society and Politics in a West African Border
Region, makes the persuasive case that the name “Yoruba” owes lexical provenance to the Baatonu people of Borgu,
Oyo’s immediate northern neighbors, whom contemporary Yoruba people call Bariba, Baruba or Ibariba. The Baatonu
word for Oyo people is “Yoru” (singular), “Yorubu” (plural). The third person reference to the people is “Yoruba.”
“The name was probably sourced from Songhay contact with Borgu, later reinforced through interviews with Baatonu
slaves in Sierra Leone and popularised by European travellers like Clapperton and missionary documentation, such as
