afonja, I am not surprised, smh, go and bury your heads in shame, I know it was the likes of you that were insisting that the crown prince must come to ille ife before his coronation, eye service backstabbing afonja trying to claim supremacy by editing history to in favor of afonja just to claim sophisticashit

cbrass:


You don't even know your history cos if you do you will know all bini monarchs are descendants of oranmiyan, or didn't u read it in the post? Educate your mind

2dugged:
so says an afonja, keep waiting in Ile ife for the Oba of Benin to show up, una go grow white hair tire, the will be crowned the sky will not fall

cbrass:


Why don't you debunk what I said rather than trying to be ignorant

asuustrike2009:

do you know how many persons will be employed indirectly (seasonal employment). those guys have made up their mind so let them be

dear afonja read and be enlightened, From verifiable history, Benin Kings were once referred to as the Ogisos meaning KING OF THE SKY, this was long before Ekalerderhan or Oduduwa's Grandfather, they were a proud and prosperous kingdom. Ekalerderhan was the son of an Ogiso banished from the kingdom who on trying to introduce himself to a people who could not understand him but were awed by his presence must have pointed to the sky and they mistakingly think he came from the sky and made him king. The benin people later realised that ekalerderhan was wrongfully banished when is father died an expedition was sent in search of the banished prince this expedition got to ife and found the prince who refused to leave his new kingdom but instead sent his son this was the beginning for the relationship between the too. Oba in Benin has 2 meaning shining or reddish, Omo n' Oba means the shining child, am sure you are smart enough to relate it to Ogiso. What bothers me most in the yoruba claim is how an educated person will choose to 'ignorantly' believe that someone fell from the sky.

It was an unfortunate day for commuters as the roads were blocked.

As much as I respect traditions and their rulers, it is unnecessary to block roads and ground activities in a town because crown prince is moving to palace. Ifjust moving to the palace was worth so much, a day should have been declared public holiday to save people the kind of stress I went through in Benin on Saturday. Not nice.

Are you complaining? The Prince must hear this Oya come and chop came,

May his years be long, and his reign peaceful.

last bullet,if after reading this you still chose to spread you fake tales, I can't help you,Ogiso Owodo was the last Ogiso. The break came because there was no heir. This is called the interregnum period.
Prince Ekaladerhan was the heir to Owodo. But the Prince's step-mother called Esagho schemed to get him killed. Faking a message from an oracle priest, and claiming that only his death would avert disaster in Benin. Sadly & reluctantly Owodo accepted it, for the welfare of his Kingdom.
But the Isiewmenro (Royal Executioners) who took the prince to the forest to sacrifice could not bear to kill him. They made him swear an Oath never to return to Benin but run for his dear life. He did. He travelled towards Owo (70 miles due North-West of Benin). Then he moved towards a village now called Ife. Ife is also roughly 70 miles West of Owo. So he entered Ife from the East. A prediction Ife people had been given about a ruler coming from the East.
With time back in Benin, Esagho could not produce an heir as she had hoped. Owodo later got suspicious and sent other emissaries to the oraclist. That was when the scam was revealed. But it had become known that Ekaladerhan through divinity was in fact alive but he could not be traced in Owodo's life time. So the crown remained vacant. So Evian (now Ogiamien family) became ruler as the most powerful local chieftain of Igodomigodo (as Benin was called then) but NOT a King.
In the meantime, Ekaladerhan has found fortune in Ife & made king. He exclaimed that "Izoduwa" meaning I have been favoured/achieved my destiny. This became Ododuwa. A similar corruption of name would happen to Ododuwa's grandson in Benin two generations later. The exclamation "Owomika" in Youruba became Eweka I of Benin.
In fact my relative is the duke/chief of the ancient village (actually now part of Benin metropolis) where Eweka made that exclamation in About 1170 AD. In just over a week from now, The Crown Prince will be making a similar exclamation (at exactly same spot as 800 years ago) near my relative's ducal palace. That exclamation is what his Title & name will become for life.
And all his children and descendants will henceforth bear that name as surname. Except his first son who will chose his own regnal name when crowned in the future.
Ekaladerhan was known to be alive already so the search continued for decades. Until he was traced to Ife. He refused to return, having sworn an oath not to. But he sent his son "Omonoyan", basically meaning beloved child. What was called Oranmiyan by Ife people.
Oranmiyan was accompanied by yoruba courtiers including Oloton. Chief Oloton today remains in charge of Royal ancestral shrine. Oranmiyan's son Eweka I restored the monarchy in Ogiso line. Benin people were ready to keep the stool vacant for decades then, just like they did while Ovonramwen was in exile in Calabar for 17 years.
So Ife people came to be very welcome in Benin & seen as our relatives. Even after Oranmiyan left.
Now we all know Yoruba versions of Ododuwa: from coming from the Sky to coming from Mecca. Judge for yourself what is scientifically possible.
Idia was the mother of Oba Esigie. Esigie ruled from 1504 to 1550. Idia was the wife of Oba Ozolua. Both her husband and son go down in history as successful warrior Kings/emperors.
She was a warrior Queen Mother with her own Royal Regiment personally commanded by her at war front. She played a major role in helping Esigie expand the empire. Europeans even accompanied Esigie to wars in Eastern Yorubaland & extolled Benin war tactics including Ifianyako (encirclement) of enemy soldiers.
