Nisiw366: Carry your oromiyan made uo myth away from benin history it was made in 1914 by the Benin for political help from yoruba Oromiyan and oduduwa are fairy-tale that never existed The oba of benin was feared in the entire Nigeria although he didnt conquer most of the territories is influenced stretched on, Oba ewuare was the first king who first expanded the kingdom of benin into foreign territories of igbo and yoruba he was at a time condemn for too much waring, the other obas who followed were cautioned from waring like ewuare during this period the oba benin were still war kings.. Overtime the benins began expanding for econmic purposes areas were they didn't find economic importance where left alone The Lagos occupation by benin was not intentional not until aworis began attacking the benin traders in lagos and only the use of force by the oba of benin could bring the end on aworis violence on benin traders this was the reason lagos was occupied and the aworis came under the benin rule It is also a known fact that the Benins really Wasn't the first tribe the Portuguese encountered the Portuguese actually encountered many tribes like aworis, ijebus at the shores Before they discovered benins the itsekiris Who described benin as ile binu angry people had led the Portuguese to their overlords the benins in the hinterland... Since the benins were already controlling large territorie and well organized the Portuguese sort to make friendship with the benins and wrote to the Europeans on the country benin this brought the interest of many europeans to African shores Areas the benins didnt exercise control over was greatly influenced by the benin rules, after the occupation by the benins in lagos the ijebus traders were displace for almost 70yrs until the benins pulled her total influence from lagos in the 17century...and the ijebus came back trading with the europeans, oyos were also displaced from ekiti and ondo during the yoruba civil when they invaded ekiti and ondo with the help of the oba of benin the oyo army's were defeated in the late 1800 of the ekiti parapo war... The benins has also supplied the major weapons used in the yoruba civil war and the benin were heavily feared, in the yorubas and igbo areas, there is also a saying in ondo that just as the oba of benin commands respect on earth so as eledumare commands respect in heaven The clothes sewed in benin was taking as far as Ghana, saotome and dahomey to be resold by the europeans, it was also documented that the king of whydah( Dahomey) now known as benin republic were good trading friends with the oba of benin in the past, when they usually come to trade in lagos island and badagary areas were the oba benin power streched over, more reason they took the name benin republic in honor of the friendship with benin The screenshot was translated from french to English with a goggle translator.. It was originally from a French documentation in benin 1 Like 1 Share

fcbgotel: Are you saying Oba of Benin ranks above the likes of Ooni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo etc? I doubt that. Oduduwa, their historical father gave birth to seven children. During his death time, all his children were not home-based. He however had an aide who, though wasn't his biological child, knew about his power sources and top secrets. The 'aide' was afterwards made to occupy the ancestral seat (as a reagent) and became the pioneer Ooni of Ife. His first biological son, the pioneer Alaafin of Oyo believed he was superior. The superiority tussle is the feud often passed down to new Alaafin and Ooni. Luckily, the present Ooni accepted Alaafin as his father for peace to reign, basically due to age difference. Politically, they are all first-class monarchs? Oba of Benin is not the first child or 'reagent'. He's just one of his children. So on what basis is Oba of Benin the greatest? 3 Likes |

Nisiw366: Are you going to force him Because the benin royalty streched a political hand of friendship to the yorubas in the 1914 for political benefit and some baseless history was formed from thin air Does that now make the oba of benin yoruba Thr benin people will sue yoruba kings for using the title oba which they adopted for title in 1930 1 Like |

Nanaborga: The Itsekiris are not the first inhabitants. Upon the realisation of others that were largely present at the time, the olu "of warri" was then created with the aim of acquiring the entire region as a kingdom under the Itsekiris. This prompted others that have been around even before the Itsekiris to establish kingdoms in their territory to forestall any form of encroachment. The kingdom of Itsekiris may only have been around longer than others, they are not the original settlers. |

There's consequence in Yorubaland for misleading people with history you're not sure of. I would rather keep quiet than be saying things that I cannot proof. However, in my primary school days, History told us that Benin was founded by one of Oduduwa children either Eweka or Ewuare. I'm not really sure. 3 Likes |
