Thanks for this nice post.

I want to write something on my blog about stolen artefacts, and I need get one important piece of information. I want to get some data by the Oba's representative that he talked about in the below TV show, when a white man returned a stolen artefact stolen by his grandfather in 1897 in Benin.

Do you have access to the Edo monarchy and can you help me get some information?

A depiction of an execution on an all red colored flag is the most psychopathic idea of a flag a nation can think of.
I however agree with you that Nigeria's flag is utterly boring and totally devoid of creative ideas. It looks like a flag dat was hurriedly put together few hours before the independence day parade.

AreaFada2:


A quick note here. Benin is not a tribe. It is more of a culture. The sub-tribes make up the Benin people. A remnant of a previously very diverse Kingdom/Empire. Reason is within the current core Benin areas, there are still indigenous, Yoruboid people (Usen, Utese, Iguogho, Egbeta), Izon (Gelegele) & Igboid (Igbanke) people.

The monarch sits at the top of that cultural heritage with Benin language as the central language. Benin is just called a tribe for simplicity sake. But the imperial history still reflected in the culture is much more complex.

Stranac:
No sir,i dont have it

Stranac:
Do you know what i love about edo??..its there unity and togetherness,you will see benin man supporting esan or other tribes so far he can do the job well..

Every culture and tribe in Edo state has a role to play both in development of the state or the oba palace

AreaFada2:


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.

OfficialAPCNig:

Onitsha land never belonged to Edo at any point.

Even your wack history says that Onitsha was founded by a Benin Prince called Chima.

Does that sound Edo to you? Chi ma obi means God knows the heart.

Obi is Igbo for heart or Palace not the corruption of Oba.

So never drag Onitsha into your delusion again. You didn't claim Asaba that is closest, it is Onitsha you want to claim.

gregyboy:


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.....

OfficialAPCNig:

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.

No one claimed benin established any territory we only went there to rule while the people mainted their identity ...in all the place in nigeria benin influence spread to apart from edo nd skme part of delta they all were foreigners who were ruled under benin just like d British did to Nigeria same we did to Yoruba's by sending our son there to rule them ...but they were never edos
Proves shows it that the second ooni in history after odudwa bore edo name for god and edo name for king

OfficialAPCNig:

You are changing the narratives now. Your brothers claimed Onicha was founded by a Bini prince.

gregyboy:



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 Aro 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

OfficialAPCNig:

Fixed.

It seems you are just part of the few sensible Bini historians.

gregyboy:



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

OfficialAPCNig:

So you are saying Bini know our history more than us?

gregyboy:

Anyhow u say it ....is ur history

BabaRamota1980:
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.

No Edo person has ever be sacrificed by the palace.

It always been your kind, the palace sacrificed some and the rest sold into slavery.

davidnazee:


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.

OfficialAPCNig:

Onitsha was founded by Eze Chima. Does that name sound Edo to you?
