That is the Current Oba Of Benin Praise names

Anyway present the Pre Amalgamation Oba of Benin Praise names so we can see if Ekhalerderhan and Izoduwa are there I know they were not because even in the 15th Century Oba of Benin told the Portuguese that Ooni of Ife was his father

By the way Ife also Founded Benin and the Ogiso dynasty there

The history of oromiyan in Benin was formed and forged in the old western region to intergret the Benins and the oba as yorubas even to the extent of giving him the second position and displacing the alafin who was originally the second after the ooni of Ife although tho the oba of Benin accepted this offer at first but things didn't go as planned the other yoruba monarchs and together with the alafin of oyo was not happy with this new arrangement that the oba of Benin who is second after the ooni of Ife can't even speak yoruba language and so many other complains ensued from there, again the oba of Benin had a fall out with awolowo and other benin political aspirants and as a result pulling out of western region became thinkable and as soon as Midwestern region was created the oba of benin refuted the false history and the yorubas kings fired back and soon after the oba of Benin forged a counter history of ekaladeran and since then the history that started on falsehood became held seriously by many people who are unaware

So why did Egherevba Benin Historian write about the founding of the Oba dynasty by Oranmiyan and why did the Oba Of Benin reward him by making him a high Chief afterwards

As we speak the Oba Of Benin's Palace has listed Oranmiyan as the first Oba of Benin

It is you calling them liars

This is the same Oba Of Benin declaring Oranmiyan to be the first Oba of Benin

It is you who said that he is lying

[b]High Chief Esotericist Monday Wehere, JP explained further: “What is today known as Benin Kingdom started as Igodomigodo nine centuries ago. It was founded by Ogiso Igodo and it existed for 300 years before King Orominyan of Ife invaded Benin. During that invasion, Orominyan fought without any success. Before then, Orominyan came to Benin with a strategy. He brought a large number of Yoruba men into Benin long before the proper expedition. These men went into relationships with our daughters who started having children for them. By the time Orominyan came to attack Benin in 11th Century, the number of the Yoruba-born children was high. In spite of this, however, he still failed in his attack.

When Orominyan was returning to Ile-Ife without achieving his aim, as one of the strategies they invented, he deliberately impregnated a princess, the daughter of an “Enigie” – duke or king in Benin under the then Ogiso. The princess’ name was Elimide. He left her behind before returning to Ife. It was Princess Elimide that gave birth to the first Oba of Benin, Oba Eweka 1, who, after becoming an adult, was invited back to Ile-Ife, alongside other children they had secretly produced through our daughters without our knowing their game-plan.

Up till today, they still live in a place called Yoruba Quarters in Benin City. It was at that Ile-Ife meeting, which had Eweka in attendance that these children were told the reasons they were given birth to in Benin, that it was Oba Orominyan’s desire to use them to overthrow the then Ogiso Erebo and his dynasty, which was then known as Igodomigodo. They were all made to swear to an oath never to betray Eweka, who was to become the Oba of Benin, if they eventually succeeded.

Expectedly, this particular war was protracted as many people died on both sides. The carnage was much. It was, however, difficult for the then Ogiso to use extra force, as he felt his grandchildren were being used in the war. He kept saying the children being used by the Oba to prosecute his war were children of Benin daughters, even though they were now supporting their father’s side to fight the Ogiso.

It was at this point a truce was called. As there were no victor and no vanquished, Ogiso Erebo was told there was no way this large number of children born by Benin women for Yoruba men could be repatriated, since they had already been integrated into the heart of Igodomigodo. He was told the only way to maintain peace was for him to divide Igodomigodo into two kingdoms. Let the oba take a part, while he would hold on to the other part.

If Benin truly found Lagos you’ll still see traces of Benin legacies in Lagos, but that’s not the case . Just as British foot print will always be on it’s colonies . Even in America you’ll still see British foot print some of their Towns and street are British names .

Of course they share a close tie because the Yoruba conquered Bini via Oranmiyan...even their kind prays for his fore bearers.


As we may have it Benin wasn't organised or a powerful kingdom in the early times, in the beginning they were several villages who had Thier various leaders called ogiso they were several ogiso( sky kings) in the various settlement of Benin. at this time Benin was not one, the various settlement with their own ogiso existed independently. there were no one ruler, until a man called evian, killed a spiritual beast that had been disturbing the various villages surrounding Benin. which the various Ogiso heads couldn't handle and he found favour in the Benin community and the villagers came together to make him the oba of igodo. he ascended the throne as eweka the first
He was blessed with mystical powers and the people likened him as the son of a God, the Ogiso who refused to surrender their sovereignty where forced and the kingdom was formed, this several ogiso heads became chiefs in the new kingdom called ogidomigofo
Which later renamed as edo during oba ewaure reign and turned Benin during the Portuguese arrival who had corrupted Ile binu from the itsekiri warnings that had earlier told them not to venture into Benin City during their arrival and inquisition about the edo people
Years after eweka had died his son expanded the kingdom further Benin on several occasion
Lost some villages under the kingdom that had to be brought back through force, the king of the sea (ogiamen) was a powerful ruler who had ruled the river banks of Benin is territory was independent of Benin even when the Benin kingdom was long establish, oba ewakpe who was a conquerer had waged war on his kingdom that lasted for years but his kingdom was too strong to be defeated lots of lives was lost until an agreement was reached by the ogiamen that Benin would one day take over his territory which was a sure thing, because Benin was flourishing and expanding unlike his territory and that if they have to join Benin that the oba of Benin would respect is terms,and that every oba that ascends the throne would always come and buy his sovereignty from his family at every coronation in terms of paying homage and that if the contract is broken they can choose to live the kingdom, this practice continued for centuries until after Benin empire was brought down by the British and that tradition was stopped by the oba, the only way the ogiame family could use to attack the oba was by false acclimation Of his illegitimacy

Just the way the yoruba were brought into one canopy by awolowo during the formation of Nigeria so as evian who became the first oba of Benin united the kingdom

The Benin kingdom consist of the 36 Benin families

The Benin empire consist of lagos, ondo, ekiti, delta and Co....

The yorubas and other tribes that have issues with the oba of Benin would always use the screenshot to support their claims that the oba of Benin is a yoruba man, not until you ask them, if there is any trace of yoruba titles or names or even idols in the oba palace that can trace that the oba of Benin is a yoruba man, then they will be left dumbfounded

On our way to the Dangote fertilizer plant, close to the refinery, our boat berthed at a jetty that was described to us at the first port in Nigeria at Epe.

We were told Bini people used the port mostly for cargo exports.

Uptill now, there are old pre-colonial warehouses with nameplates with inscriptions like John Holt, Osborne, Goldie etc pasted on those warehouse.


It's a pity that the African man allowed his hisptory to be penned by the west while the African was busy chasing after crickets, bush rabbits and squirrels in the bush to satisfy his dainty palates.

Epe was an Ijebu Remo Port so was Ikorodu and
Ibadan was their Biggest Customer
That was why they refused to join in the Ijebu war against Ibadan
Lekki is also Ijebuland
The Itsekiri were allowed to have free access to the Ijebu Ports because of their Ijebu roots
Ilajes also played a big Part.there and are also indigenous to the Area

for example Ambode's mother is Epe Ilaje

TruthsFM:
most of past Obas of Benin was buried in ile ife. Check google on it.


The historian who first came out with such a fallcious statement that the oba of Benin heads were being buried in Ife, was a benin historian with the name Dr jacob Egharevba.
Egharevba earliest work is a mix of oral traditions and speculation which he corrected in his later works, however as a matter of fact it's a traditional practice in Benin that kings of the various vassals state, under Benin control would come back to bury the previous king heads in Benin in order to notify the oba that the previous monarchy was dead this journey to Benin can only be carried out by the incoming successor who will stay in Benin for months or years to learn the ways of the Benins before going back to take his father's position as king. however this practice was never a tradition in ile-Ife as no other of the supposed oduduwa sons had a burial site making it suspecious and fallacious from Egharevba who was equipped with the Benin oral history and had mix oral tradition of the Benins with his imagination to forge the orun oba ado tradition which he termed in his book `Ile Ife the final resting place of the oba of Benin' Egharevba had writing with no consultation or whatsoever and was not even close to the palace to begin with, his works lacked referencing other than just pure selfish intrest he could derive from the then watern region the edos where under at that time, Frank Willet a french historian did an excavation on the very orun oba ado site in 1969 hoping to find some truth in what yoruba belive to be an historical site, all nine site the excavation took place was empty and nothing was found in them it is of most importance to note that at the time the supposed myth of oromiyan visit to benin, her name was still called igodomigodo and not yet ado that originated from oba ewaure a long distance predecessor of oba eweka 1

The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife).
(Odua of Ife is the same as oduduwa of Ife)

Another of oba of benin's praise names is

Ovbi' Adimila
The son of Adimila
oduduwa was also known as Olofin Adimula
Which was his Title

Notice there is no mention at all of any Ekhalerderhan of Igodomigodo or izoduwa a whole Crown Prince of Benin that got lost and the renowned Accomplished Benin Palace Praise singers are not at all interested in his case
It can only be a lie

They did not mention and neither are they looking for the lost Ekhalerderhan .

izoduwa too is not happening anywhere in oba of benin's praise names but they called Oduduwa , the great Odua of Ife his Father

So with their own mouths they themselves have already given the evidence that fully demolished and destroyed their case which had no legs to stand on in the first place and have confirmed with your own Mouth that the oba of benin was indeed oduduwa's Son
There is nothing left to drag because it is settled

The history of oromiyan in Benin was formed and forged in the old western region to intergret the Benins and the oba as yorubas even to the extent of giving him the second position and displacing the alafin who was originally the second after the ooni of Ife although tho the oba of Benin accepted this offer at first but things didn't go as planned the other yoruba monarchs and together with the alafin of oyo was not happy with this new arrangement that the oba of Benin who is second after the ooni of Ife can't even speak yoruba language and so many other complains ensued from there, again the oba of Benin had a fall out with awolowo and other benin political aspirants and as a result pulling out of western region became thinkable and as soon as Midwestern region was created the oba of benin refuted the false history and the yorubas kings fired back and soon after the oba of Benin forged a counter history of ekaladeran and since then the history that started on falsehood became held seriously by many people who are unaware
Do you have any proof for what you are saying or you just want to comment?
Do you know the Ogiamien royal family of Benin?
Thank God they are still alive and kicking.
They will tell you the real history of Benin as it affects them.
How they were scammed by Oranmiyan of Ile Ife,the father of Oba Eweka 1,who built Benin Empire.
This story is the story everybody knew and still knows.The late king formed another story of Oduduwa blah blah blah which nobody believe because it has no root and it was formed to undermine the Ogiamien royal family.
Yoruba from Ile Ife started Ogiso and later Oranmiyan's son,Eweka brought Obaship to Benin.
Yoruba owns Ife,Benin,Ogiso,Oba and everything about Benin.
I have proofs.Old proofs not falsehood written by the late Oba of Benin whose great,great forefather was also Yoruba.
Pls,let us discuss with facts only.Ciao..

There are some proofs above there.🖕
Those eulogies cannot be changed,that Oba would have changed them.

All these stories are trash. Nobody has denied Aworis were from Ife but the question is, when the Benin migrant came, were the natives not there?. I ask again, How did Yorubas chase benins away from Lagos?, why is Yoruba language and culture predominant in Lagos?, why are the Yoruba the land owners in Lagos?, why are they the ones selling land in Lagos?, How many benin have a family house in Lagos?. These are my questions i want benin people to answer, otherwise, everything na empty noise.
i am looking for the historical account of how Yoruba chased Benin out of Lagos, pls, anyone with the document should send me a link.


They were not chased away ..some of there grand fathers gave birth to your grand father ...This matter is bigger than you . All the past obas of lagos except one were buried in Benin....how come it was so ? Have you ever pomdered why they were buried in Benin?

Omo n Oba Erediauwa was a confused man, who spent a lot of quality time disowning his ancestors history.
Most of the pre and post independence Pictures of Awo, with the Western Nig royal fathers, are with Oba Akenzua, Olu of Warri, Oni Adesoji Aderemi and Alafin Oyo Oba Ladigbolu 2.
Is Oba Akenzua not aware that he is not Yoruba, and so shouldn't be rolling with the Yoruba Obas?.
Today Yorubas'are gradually ignoring the " Ibini arokunsayo ", because of that revisionist late Oba Erediauwa.
Yorubas' knows that Bini our our relatives, but they said they are not, best of luck to them.
Ibini arokunsayo means Ibini who are always happy whenever they see the Atlantic ocean.
Arokunsayo is Ibini people Oriki, there are more, but this is the only one I can remember.

Self delusion. Benins are migrants in Lagos, who settled in a tiny island. They were accepted by the aggreement of the natives to establish an organized structure. Yorubas had been trading with the Portugese decades before benin arrived on foot. Lagos is a status symbol of Yoruba culture and tradition, benin has no footprint. Yoruba dominate everything and everywhere. Maybe the Oba of Lagos with benin ancestry were burried in benin but as soon as the last king with benin ancestry died and a Oba with full Yoruba ancestry was installed, a new custom began.
