Very Interesting. Insightful.

@wbrogers93 We all come from God, we are all children of Abraham, however their are some ignorant tribes who try to change the cause of history, by claiming that they beamed down from the sky.

They all know that they are descendants of the Benin ppl. Be proud of who you are and where you originate from. "BENINU", as mentioned in Nehemiah 10:13 was a LEVITE!!

Long Live the Legacy of the BENIN KINGDOM!

@nprolog1 :WHAT! YOU ARE INDEED IGNORANT..LOL.... YOU NEED TO WATCH MANY OF IFE BRONZE AND OTHER YORUBA ARTS DISPLACED IN BRITISH MUSEUMS. YORUBA IS NOT A STATE LIKE BENIN, WE HAVE MANY STATES WITHIN YORUBA. IT'S LIKE SAYING THAT THE KANURI ARTS MAKE THEMS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KANO. YOU NEED TO READ MORE AND STOP UR SELF PROCLAMATION. YES INDEED BENIN IS AN IMPORTANT KINGDOM YET THAT DO NOT MEAN THEY ARE NOT SONS OF ODUDUWA. BENIN WAS GREAT THANKS TO ITS ROOTS,..YORUBA...LOL

@omoibile

It is well documented in history books that Benin was the most important African Empire which spreaded without the influence of Islam. Moreover I have never had anybody abroad talking about Yoruba arts, while Benin art is seen as a reflection of African History.

You see nobody who can brag about being well informed about african History without having any knoledge of Benin History.

My Friend Benin in those Days was as important as Roman Empire at least in riches, arts, organization...

@manuel60629 : YOU HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH YORUBAS AND MAY GOD HELP YOU IN OVERCOMING UR ISSUES. YOU ARE A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF WHY BENINS ARE KNOWN TO BE SO HATEFUL AMONG THEMSELVES. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STAND FOR UNITY OF NIGERIANS. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU HEARD YORUBAS ARE NOT ORGANIZED. FOR GOD'S SAKE THE WHOLE OF BENIN DO NOT REACH A TINY VILLAGE IN THE SMALLEST YORUBA TOWN AND WE HAVE MANY...LOL... YOU ARE PARANOID AND DELUSIONAL...HAHAHA

@omoibile It is obvious, that the Yorubas are not oganize like the Benins to these days, this lady's stroy has nothing to do with pride, back in historic any any powerful nation could fall for the other at a particular time. so i wonder what paranoid the Yorubas here.

@omoibile UR IGNORANCE IS BEYOND CORRECTION. CONTINUE TO LIVE IN A FOOL'S PARADISE. SIMPLE MATHEMATICS SHOWS INFLUENCE OF YORUBA IN WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND BEYOND, YET YOU CAN'T GET THIS INTO UR EGOCENTRIC MIND AND STOP UR FOOLISH PRIDE. A WELL KNOWN FACT IS THAT INDEED THE BENINS ARE THE FIRST BORN OF ODUDUWA WHO IS THE FATHER OF ALL YORUBAS (this confused ur fathers to claim Benin as first not realising that Yoruba had been as a nation which gave birth to u and other 6 natiuons of Yorubas)

@omoibile Well the only person showing signs of annoyance since on this forum is you omo izoduwa. we have been having constructive and logical argument until now. Am not going to go into long argument with you over this, the truth is laid bare in front of you, but you are too proud to accept it. Well I stand by my words too.
