oturugo: Oba Overanwen did not betray anyone nor was he betrayed. The Oba met a superior fire power and he surrendered. Apart from the Oba, the same superior fire power was responsible for the collapse of Aro confederacy, Ekwumekwu etc in Igboland. Spot on. That was how they managed to decapitate the long juju of Arochukwu after a protracted war fare with the Aros in the 1800s 1 Like |

Decency75: the book written by Ola Rotimi ( The gods are not to blame) explained it all. You people should go and read the book. NO. Gods are not to be blamed is a greek mythology rewritten into African setting by Late Ola Rotimi. There is another book titled after the king. |

This was a true story: Ovonramwen Nogbaisi came to be the Oba of Benin in 1888.[1] At the end of the 19th century, the Kingdom of Benin had managed to retain its independence and the Oba exercised a monopoly over trade which the British found irksome. The territory was coveted by an influential group of investors for its rich natural resources such as palm-oil, rubber and ivory.[2] The kingdom was largely independent of British control, and pressure continued from figures such as Vice-Consul James Robert Phillips and Captain Gallwey (the British vice-Consul of Oil Rivers Protectorate) who were pushing for British annexation of the Benin Empire and the removal of the Oba. A British invasion force headed by Phillips set out to overthrow the Oba in 1896. The force's weapons were hidden in baggage, with troops disguised as bearers. Phillips plan was to gain access to Ovonramwen's palace by announcing that he intended to negotiate. Ovonramwen's messengers issued several warnings not to violate Benin territorial sovereignty, claiming he was unable to see Phillips due to ceremonial duties. Having been warned on several further occasions on the way, Phillips sent his stick to the Oba, a deliberate insult designed to provoke the conflict that would provide an excuse for British annexation.[3] Phillip's expedition was ambushed and all but two were killed. Subsequently a military operation against Benin in 1897 led by Harry Rawson resulted in the burning of Benin City and the deaths of untold numbers of its inhabitants. Although the British had orders to hang the Oba, Ovonramwen escaped, but later surrendered. Ovonramwen was exiled to Calabar with his two wives, and died there in 1914. Note: Oba Ovonramwen happen to be the greatest of all Oba the Benin kingdom has ever have and by his exile he restore the culture of the Benins of which the British till today so respected among other tribe in Nigeria 1 Like |

ROSSIKE: BORN YESTERDAY YOUR FATHER! I saw the authors you quoted. ALL BLOODY GOD-DAMNED AKATAS! ALL OF THEM! except that nincompoop martin benal who makes absurd claims that Greek civilziation depended on Africans and Phoenicians and Egyptians! WHAT A MONKEY! As though the Greeks were not capable of forging their own civilization. Its a great insult to the Ancient Greeks. Ive never read more bogus and hoax works in my life. Ive stopped reading any theory by akatas concerning the origin of African Tribes. THey should stop poking themselves in our histories and distorting it. I HATE THEM. IT IS HIGH TIME WE AFRICANS STARTED GOING INTO THE HISTORY/ARCHAEOLOGY/ETHNOGRAPHIC FIELDS and DO SOME RESEARCH OURSELVES AND WRITE OUR OWN TRUE HISTORY! BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE WRITES THEM AND DISTORTS IT ACCORDING TO THEIR PREJUDICE. these akatas have no identity so they are trying to falsely forge New Idenitities to make them seem great. bunch of drug addicts. |

PAGAN 9JA: dude! i like you. but i've never met an african named "cohen." that "webster" sounds equally suspect, but unfortunately some of our people do have those slave names still. btw, some akatas aren't so bad. some, no less than the percentage of nigerians (shame!), are very interested in our/their heritage and its survival.

There was functional system that the british met.A system that was functional and harmonious.A system with morals and objectives.With human intellectuals and ingenuites.Unlike the present day nigeria. The british came with high firepower and coward africans into surrendering,decimate the system and recolonize them.But at the end of the day,the power that wins is that of mental freedom. 3 Likes |

During the civil war the ibo rejected them and left the at the mercies of the Fulanis, before their Oba Cried out in Yoruba language,then the Yorubas came to their rescue but Landuage don change so they are no where to be placed on the Geograpuical entity.
