Praise Names Of Omo N'oba N'edo by macof(m): 9:08pm On Aug 29, 2014 |
Benin City is a reserve of rich traditions and high reverence for the traditional monarch (Oba of Benin), who once led a powerful Empire. One of such traditions is the habit of addressing the Oba of Benin by various appellations instead of his actual names as sign of deep respect and awe. It is no wonder, therefore, that the Oba of Benin is known by several appellations. Such appellations are: Ovbi' Umogun Oza The Child of the Oba whose mother hailed from Oza Ovbi' Ekpen N' Owa The son of the home leopard Ovbi' Adimila The son of Adimila Ikeji Orisa Second in command to the gods Agbaghe, N'Ovbi Olokun Olokun's son, the cynosure of all mortals Abieyuwa N'Ovbi Odua N'uhe The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife). Ovbi' Ada, Ovbi' Eben The child of the owner of the Ada = scimitar and Eben = royal sword, Edo symbol of sovereignty. Ovbi'Ekenekene ma deyo The son of beauty that never fades. Ovbi'Ekuaho N'Olo, Ovbi'Ekuabo N'Olo The son of the rocky arm, the brave and powerful Ovbie Ikpinhianbo kpuru no Gb'oduma The son of the short fingered man that was still able to kill a lion Nohien utete no gh'ughe s'omwan The king on a hill, who sees more than everybody Ovbi'Oghonwan nei bun aro The son of the fearless, who looks without twinkling his eyes Ovbi'ode, ode n'ohan ren mu' ete The son of the warrior whose enemies got frightened at the announcement of the approach Uku Akpolokpolo The mighty that rules Ovbi' Adolo no dolo uwa dolo utomwen/b] The son of the wise judge and peace maker who combined wisdom and wealth with long life [b] Ovbi' oven owie no gbaisi The son of the morning sun that covers everywhere Ovbi' Akpogunla, ogie no y'igho b'owa The child of the womb of Akpogunla - the warrior who fought big wars and built a house of cowries Oba n'osa A king that is god Ovbi' otolo n'olomi; Ologberonmwon nei rie iruen, ebo, ayemwinre eminiminimini The son of the water controller, the son of beauty itself, the starter of things and the person whose reign saw people with many tongues These appellation are in cognissance of the greatness of the Omo n'oba ne edo, the Oba of Benin. 1 Like 1 Share

macof: Which Oba's mother hailed from Oza? And would that be Oza-Aibokunla in Edo State or Oza-Nogogo in Delta State? I know both Ozas are related, but I want to know if someone knows which side specifically in Oza this Oba's mother (who I suspect is Ewuare) hailed from. |

But oba That is the kinglist taking by Roupell's 1899 a year after benin was invaded the king list never included oromiyan neither did Roupell's mentioned it in his book, after 1930s talbot took is own kinglist and included oromiyan, esekhure took is kinglist and absconded oromiyan Bro our king never came ife stop priding your self Ill gotten history 3 Likes

Greyboy, Why are you so bent on denying the obvious with illogical arguments and ursupation of Yoruba culture as yours e.g recently Itsekiri Ile-Ibinu, Ogboni, Okun or Oba? This is too glaring. Unless you are not a real Bini, Edo form of Osu or outright slave of Oba. Your denials and formation are too obsessive to be persuasive. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

gregyboy:Shut your stinking lying mouth, @gregyboy aka @Edeyoung I wonder where your rotten brain got 1914 from when Roupell himself who collected the data from Benin in 1897 stated clearly that the first Oba of Benin (Eweka1) is a Yoruba man from Ife. Moreso, this specific data was already published as at 1903 by H. Ling Roth in his “Great Benin: Its Customs, Art and Horrors, F.

Edeyoung:Don’t be dumb gregyboy, aka Edeyoung. The evidence was provided at the very instant I substantiated the statement with its reference. I am not sure you realize what burden of proof is. H. Ling Roth, Great Benin, Its Customs, Art and Horrors, F. King & Sons Ltd., 1903, p.7. The book is available free in digital form online. I also have a copy. In case you’re wondering, I didn’t give birth to you. So stop feeling entitled that I must provide you with books. Although I may choose to assist you and your parents, it’s you and your parents’ responsibility — not mine — to provide you with books. My burden of proof is to substantiate any claim I make with the relevant statements and their appropriate references. And I have done exactly that. It then becomes your burden, and not mine, to check up the material and cry bitterly at your regular corner; or return here to prove that the material does not contain what I have attributed to it. . . . Furthermore, my comments are not directed at you per se. So stop getting too excited, you’re actually a nobody. ![]() My comments are intended to expose you to everyone as the blind, sad, desperate, insecure, bigoted, lying Bini propagandist that you are. My comments are intended to allow sane readers follow-up on the referenced materials so as to acquaint themselves with historical information. cc: macof, fluteman, Emilokoiyawon, laiperi, MelesZenawi, googi, RedboneSmith. 5 Likes 1 Share |

gregyboy:Please stop that! The Ogiso Dynasty was very real. I am Urhobo and our migration history is centered around the Ogiso era and not the Oba Dynasty. Urhobo-Isoko history tells of migration of our ancestors from ancient Udo when it was under the Ogiso Dynasty. The Binis may have lost records of the Ogiso period, but the story of the Ogisos is still very strong in Urhobo-Isoko folklores and ancient stories. Infact, we are more familiar with the Ogiso story than with that of the Oba, because much of Urhobo-Isoko ancestors have left (due to the crises that followed the collapse of the Ogiso Dynasty) before the emergence of the Oba Dynasty. Up to date, there is more mention of ancient "Udo" town (which was the capital the kingdom ruled by the Ogisos known as Aka kingdom) than "Benin" in Urhobo-Isoko folklores because as at the time our ancestors migrated to our present locations the name "Benin" has not come into use. 3 Likes |

Kirigidi:@Kirigidi: Please note that the comment of the guy whom you just quoted is a manifestation of his internal troubles, viz. cognitive dissonance. The only reason he has chosen to delude himself to this extent is so that he can avoid the next obvious truth — which is the fact that a foreign monarchy from Yorubaland (i.e. the ‘Oba’ monarchy) came at some point in history to supplant his indigenous Edo monarchy (i.e. the ‘Ogiso’ monarchy). He is deluded, brace yourself. 2 Likes |
