HISTORY OF AGBEDE

Agbede is a Muslim town in the Northern part of Edo State. It has been in existence since the 13th century. It is the door way to the Northern part of the state.

Naming of Agbede

It is said Agbedes were the original makers of the artifacts in Benin before their exodus into the northern part of the political geography called Edo State.

It is also said that the first Agbedes were originally unemes. Another school of thought holds that Agbedes and Unemes were blessed with creativity in approaching arts.

The name Agbede is gotten from Yoruba which means blacksmith. Their naming was the reflection of their occupation. Though, the knowledge of blacksmithing among them is extinct. The Agbede people can be called Agbedes (Anglicization). But, they call themselves in their language, Gbede.

Precolonial Agbede

The Agbede country was the kukuruku (Edo north) administrative headquarters of Benin Empire. In fact, jacob Egharevba in his classics succinctly put it clearly"The headquarter of the colony or province of the old Benin empire in Kukuruku was Agbede."

Agbede was also the administrative headquarters of the Nupe empire in Kukuruku/otoesan. Agbede Ayuele country's king, Oba Abdullahi (successor of Oba Momodu) served as the Head of kukuruku until he handed over to Otaru Momoh and he offered prayers for him. Relationship with empires/kingdom Edit
Agbede established trade, educational and Islamic relationship with the following enviable historical empires;
1. Illorin Emirate

2. Kano Emirate

3. Kogi kingdom (probably igbira)

4. Benin Empire

Agbede is an Etsako town, if there was no stint of yoruba in Edo, how did she get the name Agbede, these are issues we don't want to address! Agbede cannot be translated in any of the Edo languages, only yoruba literally to mean blacksmith, this also goes to lay to rest the fact that in the distant past, yoruba was also spoken in Benin where the Agbede group migrated from.

What are you saying


Are you this wise🙄

Did you see any artworks in agbede to prove your point they were blacksmith did you see any relics of artworks in agbede to further prove your claims to be fact I guess no

Because the name sounds yorubish then they must have come from yoruba no other thought comes into your head at all


Agbede sounds edoish too

Ede' = could mean day
Agbe = you can't beat

Meaning "you can't beat the day"
It can also be interpreted as such in edo language only the agbede people can explain better

Do not also forget during the slave trade yorubas militia raided edo North some settled there and never left some yorubas ran from Thier home town due to war to settle with the edo north people

If you put this little information together it will help you to understand why the edo north has an element of yorubas in them instead of imagining some nonsense primary school oromiyan history

What of if the edo people were the people who settle last amongst the orginal agbede people who were originally yoruba, did that thought come into your mind because they trace origin to edo doesn't mean the original habitant were original edo
