Oba of Benin Visit J Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History

[@crownedking2567]

Thumbs up to Yoruba arts and culture.well done to Lagos state the pride of the Yoruba race .

[@fatfarmers7360]

Tump?

[@paygorenewableenergy312]

Really? Prince Izoduwa of Bini (Oduduwa) civilized the Yorubas hence they were able produce that pittance of arts compare to that of the Bini well known over the world. The FESTAC mask to celebrate Nigeria was a product of the Binis. Without Bini, NO Nigeria, let that sink into your thick skull.

@@paygorenewableenergy312 Where is the prove that oduduwa is a Bini man, in fact there was no name or no place or land being called Bini until a Yoruba prince named the place a land angry people, you people were angry with him because he was not one of you,if he were to be one of you, you people would happily accept him and welcome him back as a son of your elkadera or Izoduwa. None of the so-called sons of your Izoduwa came back to Ogiso land like your mumu king who visited Lagos to vomit rubbish and say we are from Ogiso .

@@paygorenewableenergy312 You better learn history from the right sources. All these your lies will not take you far. You claimed that Bini civilized the Yoruba, yet, the same Yorubas are better than you in all ramifications. Your so called Prince Izoduwa has no place or space in Yoruba history. Bin language is only spoken in Edo state whereas Yoruba is spoken 8 states ( south west states, Kwara and Kogi state), Cuba, Brazil, Togo, Benin Republic, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago and so on. You (Binis) can only hope to be like the Yorubas and not the other way round.

That’s why we are building the Benin Riyal Museum in Benin. So thanks with your EMOWA you can build that in Ghana.

[@oscarlagoke8920]

Aworis …the owners of Lagos migrated from ile-ife

[@paygorenewableenergy312]

Migrated to Ife from where? The said Awori are the warriors that accompanied the Prince of Bini Izoduwa which the Yorubas corrupted to Oduduwa, they''d tell the world that he fell from the sky (other name Prince Ekaladehan) which Yoruba claimed to be their pregentor. The Awori don't really speak the Yoruba language, they speak Yoruba with a mixture of Edo language the emigrated to Ota, attracted by what Omo no Oba called the Nucleus. Downtown Idumota, (Idumagbo, City Centre in Bini language, also Idumota, evening settings, which the Yoruba don't know the meanings of these names). Even "IDO" meaning Ode Edo, IDO is the area you see before heading out of Eko.

Aworis are some of the soldiers of Benin Kingdom that accompanied Prince Ekaladerhan from Benin, they don't speak Yoruba, their dialect is a mixture of Yoruba and Bini language. Do your research if you're capable.@@oscarlagoke8920

[@yummybims2991]

@@paygorenewableenergy312 Stop writing lies on every platform. No matter how you try, nobody can change our history. Awori speak pure Yoruba language. No Lagos indigene speaks "Yoruba with a mixture of Edo language" or pure Bini/Edo language. Lagos indigenes speak pure Yoruba language. Yoruba history never said that Oduduwa fell from the sky. For God's sake, LEAVE YORUBA ALONE. Even if they claim, their Oduduwa fell from the sky, is it your problem? Where did your own IZODUWA, Bini founders and all your ancestors come from? The very first human being on the Bini land, do you know where he came from? Go and claim Onitsha and leave Yoruba land alone. After all, your ancestors also settled in Onitsha. Rather than making their own state and region great, they are busy claiming other people's ancestral land.

Ogun the god of iron in Yoruba land is also known as ogun in Benin, and all of a sudden Beni’s are not Yoruba’s, Beni’s pls come back home before the gates get closed. Our culture is BIG,and highly respected all over the world. Oba ato, ape o , asee! 🙏

[@paygorenewableenergy312]

Binis are NOT Yorubas, and NEVER will be, just because Prince Ekaladerhan (Izoduwa) ended up by accident in Ile Ife, and when his father (The last Ogiso OWODO) died, the Prince was meant to ascend the throne, being well established in Uhe (Bini reference to Ile Ife) he sent his son (Omonogha which the Yoruba corrupted to Oronmiyan, was the meaning of Oronmiyan in Yoruba language? Crickets!!!) that's the only reason a child born to a Bini Prince got involved with the Bini culture which he didn't quite understand because he was born in a land where people speak Yoruba, and called the Bini people "IBINU" which the Portuguese corrupted to BENIN. Omonogha later established the Oyo Kingdom.

Who the heck is J Randle? Why would an English name be named after a Yoruba Cultural & Historical Centre? A returnee slave perhaps who settled in Eko? This has been my argument all along, how can enslaved people (Yoruba) know their history? If they do, let them come up with dates events and evidences to show the world as to that of the Binis.

[@crownedking2567]

Your king of Bini used the camp they settled in Eko as a trading post to sell your people to the Portuguese as slaves. It's generally known that your kings sold your people and other people from other tribes for mirrors , sugar and guns

[@paygorenewableenergy312]

I tell now go and verify what I will say here, it was forbidden then to sell a Bini persons as slaves. The slaves were from Oyo Kingdom where the Fulanis were capturing and selling Yorubas to the Portuguese and the British. Did you wonder why there so many (Yarribas as the Fulanis refer the Yorubas) in South America, Brazil Cuba etc., The history is there for you to read, Awolowo tried to hide our history in the school curriculum, teaching you lot about Mongo Park instead. Every child in the Benin Kingdom knows the Bini history which is the Nigeria history. @@crownedking2567

Read about John Randle (100% Yoruba and Lagosian) here - "DR. JOHN RANDLE, M.B., C.M. (Edin), 1888 ‍ Dr John Randle, a prominent Lagosian, built a public swimming pool in 1928 in King George V Park, later to become the Love Garden- a much loved recreational area. This grand gesture was inspired by the refusal of the British Colonial Office to build a swimming pool for Lagosians to learn how to swim. On completion of the pool and garden, Dr Randle handed over the facilities to the Lagos Town Council with a maintenance purse to ensure its upkeep. On the 1st of February 1855 in Regent Town, Sierra Leone, John Randle was born to Thomas S. Randle and Sarah Randle. Thomas Randle originally hailed from Oyo, in Nigeria. He was among so many uprooted and displaced people transplanted to Sierra Leone in the early 19th century due to the general upheaval and destruction created by the intra-tribal wars of that era. John Randle had his early education in Regent Town, and then attended the CMS Grammar School in Sierra Leone, and in 1874 enrolled as a student dispenser at the Colonial Hospital in Freetown. After John Randle had qualified as a Dispenser, he was sent to the Gold Coast (now Ghana) on an assignment as a Dispenser and Public Vaccinator to vaccinate the people during an outbreak of smallpox. In 1884 John Randle left for Edinburgh, he enrolled at the prestigious University of Edinburgh in Scotland where he had formal medical training between 1884 and 1888, graduating with a gold medal in Materia Medica. He returned to Lagos in 1889 and was appointed an Assistant Colonial Surgeon in the Lagos Colonial Hospital. Dr. Randle was the 4th qualified African medical practitioner in the colony. He had a turbulent career in the colonial service, and never backed down on his rights. Dr. John Randle fought for the same rights and benefits that the British doctors enjoyed. He subsequently left theColonial Service to set up a flourishing medical practice in the Colony of Lagos. Free from the control of the Colonial Service, Dr. JohnRandle had time to indulge his passion in politics. He earned recognition as one of the leading exponents of native public opinion in Lagos. In 1899, Governor William Macgregor made him a provisional member of the Legislative Council. In 1908, in the wake of the water-rate agitation in Lagos, Dr. John Randle was at the forefront to launch the first Political Party in Lagos- The Peoples Union, which he served as the founding President with Orisadipe Obasa as Secretary. Dr John Randle was a member of the British Medical Association; his success in the treatment of yellow fever was among his contributions to modern medicine. His writings on the incidence of cancer among Africans, and the treatment of guinea worm were published in the British Medical Journal. In Dr. John Randle’s Will, he made generous philanthropic bequests to science and made provisions for medical scholarships. He endowed Professorial Chairs and donated his medical books as well as journals to the Fourah Bay College, now the University of Sierra Leone. Significantly, he established a Swimming Trust in his Will, with prizes, to encourage swimming among the people of Lagos as a sport and to abate drowning in the Lagos Lagoon. Dr. John Randle’s legacy to humanity lies not just in being one of Nigeria’s pioneer medical doctors, a politician, a philanthropist etc.,but also as the man from whom many seeds have sprung up, who has left behind a multi-generational family with a wide kinship network of illustrious and patriotic citizens spread across Nigeria, West Africa and the diaspora. Dr. John Randle has been memorialised by the nature of landmarks named after him, and books published in his honour by succeeding generations with a keen sense of history and purpose who regard him highly as a man of distinction worthy of emulation. “The interests of his people engaged his attention unceasingly….” (British Medical journal, August 4, 1928) On the 27th of February 1928 Dr John Randle died at the age of 73; his life is to be measured not by the number of years he lived, but rather by the love shared, the memories made, the joy given and the blessings received."
