I hardly know anything about the history of both kindgoms but this line of argument is very, very, very STRONG! “For instance, the one they call the Oba of Lagos, these are recent adaptations. In the 50s, there was no Oba of Lagos, what we had was the Eleko of Eko. That is the title of the King there. In Ibadan, you have the Olu Ibadan. You come to Abeokuta, you have the Alake of Egba land. You come to Oyo, you have the Alaafin of Oyo. In Ilesha, you have the Owa-Obokun of IIesha. So no Yoruba monarch had as part of his titles the word Oba except the Oba of Benin. “That word Oba is indigenous to Benin. It is only in recent times you find everybody bearing Oba. When the Western Regional conference of traditional rulers took place in Benin City in 1942, go and check the attendance, there was no other monarch in the whole of the Western Region then that bore the title of Oba, except the Oba of Benin. 1 Like |

There's no controversy about the fact that was stated by the Ooni. Oba is a Yoruba word meaning King. Kings in Bini were known as Ogiso or Ogie. Obas of Benin are subject to the Ooni...because they're his children (from time past). |

cecegorz: There was no Oba in Lagos and many other places because they were not a fully qualified towns. E.g. Ibadan was a farm land. It had no Oba. However, Oba existed in Ile-Ife, Oyo, Abeokuta e.t.c. Let us enlighten you. Oba is not a title in Yoruba land. Oba is a spirit being. Thats why they worship the throne. There is a spiritual festival for that. Oba is a chieftain title in benin..because they borrowed it and dont know the value. Yorubas have Witches, Sango, Obatala and other gods. Oba is another god. The post of Oba was dated far longer than the existence of Benin. There are archeological proofs |

if Edo is not part of yoruba a answer this question The First King of Benin is eweka son of Oranmiyan how come first son of oranmiyan became King in Benin if u already have King existing? Why does is necessary to bury the head of any late Oba of Benin at Ile Ife ? why is it compulsory to receive the blessing of Ooni before a King is crowned in Benin? ![]() |

This story has been done to death. Does Benin Kingdom has a relationship with the Oni of Ife: Fact Yes. Whether the man that later came to be Oduduwa was from Benin or Not, the fact is that an ile-ife prince Oranmiyan was invited to rule over Benin Kingdom when there was no one to rule after the former king died. HE got married to Benin Princess and started a new dynasty. Does the Benin Kingdom predate Oduduwa: Yes...Long before Oduduwa appeared in Ile-ife, Benin has had a dynasty of about 30 kings known as ogisos (rulers of the sky). 2 Likes |

Stop spewing trash every where. Am sure you believe Oduduwa fell from the sky. Use your head. EDO kingdom existed long before the Oyo Empire it took a Bini prince to create the Oyo Empire. The Bini prince was the one who gave you the Bini cultures and traditions. Dude read not just use wikipedia. Do you even know that the Benin Kingdom resisted the British forces which led to the destruction of the Kingdom and Banishing of the Kingdom. YoruBadGoon: |
