Stranac: Very correct. Many people do not know that non-Benin people have risen to high positions in Benin Kingdom in the past and still do. A lot of Iyase (Prime Minister & second in power to the Oba) have come from outside core Benin areas. Two have come from Akure (Ado-Akure) and most famous is Okoro-Otun. A street is named after him in GRA Benin. Another is Otokiti from Bayelsa. The current Iyase (Chief Igbe) is of Urhobo origin. Benin has a lot of meritocracy historically. People of various tribes who excelled in war became heroes. Example is Ogogobiaga who was Igbo. Several Esan people too. Most people do not know for example that Asoro, whose statue is at Ring Road was a Yoruboid Benin person from Iguogho in Ovia, not from Orhionmwon as some presume. The tribal politics we have in today is fairly recent. 1 Like |

OfficialAPCNig: Ure ignorant on history..... The story is simply when benin got to asaba they made it a colony after later the years a son from the Royal family bearing the igbo name in asaba went to rule onistcha the igbos maintained their true origin apart from the royal families there Thats why u hear upper eweka rd in onticha gotten from oba eweka in benin.... Yoy also hear osadebe over in edo is osadebamwen you also here okoro which is common in benin Delta nd igbo name..... |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by OfficialAPCNig: 11:13pm On Jul 03, 2018 |
gregyboy:Keep deceiving urself. Just listen to yourself. A son from the royal family bearing Igbo name. Does that make sense to you? Eze Chima is from Aro but resident in Benin. He migrated to Onitsha to establish Onicha. Iweka is purely Igbo. Iwekanjo means Anger is dangerous. Osadebe might be Bini, I don't know, but it also have meaning in Igbo. Okoro is Igbo meaning A youthful male. Onicha might be vassal of the ancient Bini empire but was never founded by any Bini prince. Bini claimed they founded Ijaw, Yoruba, Igede in Benue, Anioma, Igala and almost all ethnic groups in the South. Keep grabbing lands. 3 Likes 1 Share |

gregyboy:You are changing the narratives now. Your brothers claimed Onicha was founded by a Bini prince. |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by gregyboy(m): 7:56am On Jul 04, 2018 |
OfficialAPCNig: That is my broda not me maybe he misused his words wrongly no sane person would claim that ... Eze chima was just a royal migrant from asaba who established his royal stool on onitscha pple He mainted his fathers heritage at asaba who came from edo probably benin went even aware eze chima established a kingdom in onitscha |

Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by gregyboy(m): 8:14am On Jul 04, 2018 |
OfficialAPCNig: But i dont agree on you on d aro story have read it All but it doesnt relate it was formed and written by a man in aro who is fathers told him oral traditions of aro and later went ahead to link it eze chima..... Aro is folklore dont utter ur history because of pride |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by OfficialAPCNig: 8:24am On Jul 04, 2018 |

This flag represents the practice in Bini palace to keep and use indigeneous Edo men as blood sacrifice to their royal ancestors in Ife. If you notice, this is image of an executioner and the red stand for blood. 2 Likes 1 Share

OfficialAPCNig: Have you read the history of Onitsha? It was founded by migrants from Benin kingdom so it is very correct to say Onitsha was founded by Benin. 2 Likes |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by OfficialAPCNig: 10:08pm On Jul 04, 2018 |
davidnazee:Onitsha was founded by Eze Chima. Does that name sound Edo to you? |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by davidnazee: 11:20pm On Jul 04, 2018 |
OfficialAPCNig: Who was Eze Chima in Benin? Was he born there? Do u know if he actually a Benin man that changed his name after migrating? I heard he was a nobleman, a royalty when he was in Benin. Do you really know who he was? I don’t know that’s why I’m asking. |
Re: The Meaning Of Edo Flag Of Benin Kingdom by davidnazee: 11:23pm On Jul 04, 2018 |
OfficialAPCNig: Is it true Benin once ruled over Onitsha? If it is true then was it by conquest or by blood relations with founders of Onitsha? |
