TayserMahiri: Edo is a state not a region, though it was carved from former bendel state, part of former mid-west earn region, with present day delta, They got a rich culture and heritage, owing to the Benin Kingdom of old, the conquered some territories and their influence on them still sticks till date, They encountered the Portuguese, earlier enough especially via capuchin priests, before indulging the British, The Oba ovharewhen had feud with British, this led to outright decimation during the Benin massacre of 1897, the great Wall of benin was pulled down, the oba was exiled and incarcerated in calabar prisons, many heritage sites, temples, historic dwellings were dismantled, and the British carted away about, three folds of a thousand busts, artifacts, sculptures, etc They made away with them till this day, However, the Benin people got franchise for preserving their culture and traditions, with the Oba seen like a demigod. |

TayserMahiri: Lol, I didn't even notice the little details. I don't expect them to be wearing their traditional garb. Nigerians usually do 2 weddings, the traditional one and the Western one. Is this true for Kenya as well? I'm sure Kenya has old pre-western Marriage rites. Edo region is a historical region containing dozens of Edoid speaking groups mainly in Edo state and adjacent areas. The main ethnic groups are Edo, Esan, Etsako, Urhobo, Isoko, Afenmai(numerous groups), etc. The Edo were the founder of the Benin empire from the 12th century to 1897 when it was destroyed by the British. Some artworks from the Benin empire (Ivory and bronze works)

arinzeejikonye: Does this mean there are Benin people and Oba people in Edo state? They sure had a rich culture. The looting reminds me of a west african king whose head was returned after beingin Europe for many years... |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by 9jakool: 6:26pm On May 22, 2017 |
TayserMahiri: Most Edoid people live in Edo state and some are found in the neighboring Delta state etc. The Oba is the king of the Benin empire. The crown is preserved till today. Yeah Benin empire was looted by the British. Benin city was burned to the ground by the British and their artifacts were looted and sold to private collectors and some to museums in Europe and Americas. Till today, most have not been recovered. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 6:28pm On May 22, 2017 |
9jakool: Kenyans only have one wedding, and it always tends to me a mishmash of African and western. Good to learn about Edoid peoples they had a great empire. Its funny because I was expecting the Benin empire to have been made by the big ethnic tribes in Nigeria today. They had great skills of art making, like our local Kamba people. Do the Edoid people still curve? The Kamba curve them even today and they make $$$ by selling to tourists and medals for events.

TayserMahiri:Wenedem, when I said attitude, I meant, what is your opinion towards them. Sorry all for asking this silly question. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 6:32pm On May 22, 2017 |
TayserMahiri: The Oba from time immemorial has been the chief custodian of the Benin Kingdom, the Benin is an adulteration of bini by the Portuguese, the bini kings are the rulers of the Benin/edo people, I think the bini word came in place before edo, edo was used as a unifying factor, for what constitutes edo state today, apart from the 18 local governments with edoid groups of igbanke, Esean, akoko edo, etc, there are others of Isoko, urhobo in delta state, and even others in ondo, while the influence reached lagos, some part of Anambra, there is much Interconnection between bini and the yorubas too Below, I hope you are familiar with the most famous African mask, the mask of Queen idia, it was used as the face of festac of 1977,a celebration of African arts and traditions with the Caribbeans

9jakool: Oh, so Oba is the King!. My bad. I thought it was a community. The government should make some effort to have the artifacts returned. They should not be making money from the ingenuity of past empires |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 6:38pm On May 22, 2017 |
Hati13: What am saying wenedem, is that since most kenyans hardly encounter them, there is not much opinion about them. I don't know what other kenyans would say about this but I have never come across an Oromo. I don't even know whether they have any person in government. They tend to stick to the extreme north close to your border and engage in cross border attacks. |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by 9jakool: 6:49pm On May 22, 2017 |
TayserMahiri:Kenyans mixed everything together. Ok, Interesting. I think if you go to Edo state, particularly Benin city, there are still some people who do bronze casting and artworks. Yeah Edo are not the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, but they have a significant population. Because Edo had an empire does not mean that the big ethnic groups didn't have their own kingdoms and empires too. Kamba art is very beautiful.They look like arts tourists bring back from their Safari to decorate their homes. I also like the woodcarving arts of the Swahili coast. I heard there are still modern wood carvers. |

TayserMahiri: From past records idia is the mum to Prince esigie whom administered Benin city area, but by the death of oba ozobua, idia helped her son to subdue arhuan of udo area, which made him ascend the throne as the next oba. The line of bini kings believed to have fallen off sky came to be known as ogiso - igodomigodo. The Yoruba, there came a time when different empires and kingdoms rose, before the etymology of Yoruba came in place, The Oyo empire is rich, with Ile ife seen as the spiritual epicenter, while Oyo is administrative, Ife-bini connection, the bini-eko connection,even the moremi connection, the oranmiya-obatala-oduduwa controversial connection etc |

9jakool: Yeah, tourists like them to decorate their houses and the Kamba and Maasai curio shops do great business with them. It is hard for tourists not to buy them as they head back home. The swahilis also have great artworks. The art cannot die here so long as there is tourism.
