YourNemesis:d British empire was d largest empire in d world at that time so u expected them to come with d Queen of England to fight a small homogeneous empire like Benin.the empire was duly represented here,they didn't need half of that 1200 personnel when they strolled into other kingdoms and turned them to slaves. I think u should give kudos to this great Benin empire for their strong resistance. we are no weaklings bro unlike our brothers. ironically u don't have any issue with a single family dominating the united kingdom be it a male or female or u probably think they r d best family in the UK. its high time we stop paying much attention to little things and focus on the real deal.we are Africans we can succeed with our cultural heritage without tampering wit it.we should focus more on honesty transparency, accountability etc 3 Likes |

nextstep:when u say "half of its citizens", am sure u mean both gender cos we have a class system in d country that isn't gender sensitive. D core of d system is about access to resources and power. Those in control of d system discriminate both genders. Many Nigerian youths are wasting away not cause they are women but simply because those who control d system are only interested in furthering their personal interests. Look at d quota system that weeds out merit in favour of who no man and were u come from. Look at d way we sacrifice merit on d altar of mediocrity based on connection. Many Nigerians are suffering and it cuts across gender |

ednut1: Does it matter who was King or Queen when Britain invaded Nigeria? What mattered was it was a very long, endless line of male genealogy that laid the foundation and pillars on which the British might and heritage stood. Too bad Europe lost its finests of the male specie during WW2. |

What a ridiculous conclusion by the Benin Kingmakers. So the atrocities of the men did not make them ban them also. Sadly, we still make decisions as senseless as this in this day in Nigeria. |

Youngjohnosas: How come there are so many Yoruba speaking towns all around Benin? How do you deny the fact that the Yorubas were more advanced than their Benin relatives. What do you know about the old Midwestern history? I read about someone saying we are living in a suni muslim country and I wonder were he has gotten that information. According to what I was thought, Nigeria was almagamated. The other person is talking about ancient Egyptian history just to discredit Christianity and yet everything he or she knows about Egyptian history is from the Christian bible. Whatever Egypt had then and now isn't the first nor superior so there is no need to pontificate over that thrash. Ham founded Egypt on falsehood yet the very first world empire was set up somewhere around modern day Iraq by his grandson, Nimrod and his wife Semiramis, still on occult falsehood. Before Ham rebelled and becomes self acclaimed idol, his father Noah was a prophet who sought the face of the most high God and his other children most especially the eldest son, Shem preserved his father's faith till date. There is original (humble) and there is impostor which is loud and without foresight you can't tell the difference or rather you must have a spiritual calling to recognize the real. |

postmann: WWII all occurred by a supernatural design or intelligence. I am very proud my grandpa was a veteran, still have photos in our village house. Do you think it is possible for Benin to switch on to matriarchal monarchy someday, upon the foundation the males are currently laying down? The first human civilization in Egypt after the death of Osiris they had Isis elevated to a position even more sacred than her husband-son (Osiris), the mother of god. In the Bible she was worshipped as the Queen of heaven. You can also see an example in the Catholic church. |

brodalokie: I don't see the Binis or any other patriarchal monarchy system in Nigeria switching to matriarchal monarchy. Whatever be the current foundation the males are laying down, doesn't present a valid, spiritually backed opportunity for the female folks to unsurp authority. This is spiritual. As for Isis, it was never about her. Whatever the myth was. It was about her husband's throne and the rivalry between King Orisis (her husband), her husband's brother and rival to the throne Set, and their son Horus, who later became king. |
