valirex: Unfortunately for them Benin history was written, so nothing they can do about it. For those of them that don't know, in the 1400s when the Europeans arrived Benin, they met a city ringed with moat or Iya with nine gates. Benin was a gated city. Below are the nine ancient gates of Benin. THE NINE ANCIENT GATES OF BENIN KINGDOM The ancient city of Benin, as it still is, was the principal city of the Benin people. It had only nine access roads into it across the moats. The access roads had gates which were guarded by keepers. They are as follows: 1). Iya Uzebu: This was situated near the present day Yangan Fish market, and it provided access from Uzebu and Ughoton. All overseas travellers to Old Benin got into the city through this gate. 2). Iya Osuan: This gate would probably have straddled the moat between the present Igbinedion road near the press centre,and the Nigeria Police Headquarters at the end of Okada Avenue, GRA. 3). Iya Urh'Ogba: This gate straddled the moat between the police Headquarters and Sapele road, near the ministry of works, providing entrance into the city for the town's and villages of Iyekogba, Ivbioto, Etete, Ohoghobi, Uhie etc. This city gate was probably destroyed by the British Expedition force that came in through Ologbo to gain entrance into the city in February 1897. 4). Iya Ivbiyeneva : This gate was constructed across the moat where Sokponba road today becomes Upper Sokponba road. It leads to Ugbekun, Oka, Idogbo, Ukhiri, Avbiakagba and the whole of Iyekorhionmwon districts. Tradition has it that the Iya got it's adjunct, Ivbiyeneva, from the fact two brothers, Ogiamien and Obazee once inhabited each side of the road on the inner side of the moat. A big tree is said to have outlived each of the two brothers, Ivbiyeneva. The two trees were still there until the later end of the 20th century. 5). Iya Uhunmwun Idunmwun: This gate straddled the moat somewhere between the premises of the immaculate conception College and Edo College, Benin City. It provided entry into the city for the villages of Ihinwinrin, Ulegun, Avbiama, and to the site of the earlier palace of the Ogiso's, the dynasty of the ancient Benin Monarchy. 6). Iya Akpakpava or Iya Ok'Edo: This gate is where Akpakpava road breached the moat system. It led to the Ikpoba River, and beyond to the Isi district, the Igbo areas of today Eastern Nigeria, and the Northern Nigeria territories. 7). Iya Ewaise: This is where Ewaise road, Idunmwun Ewaise, breached the moat system, near today's Aburime maternity, after the Dawson road junction, into today's large areas of New Benin. 8. �. Iya Ero: This gate opens access to the Urubi Estate of Chief Ero, one of the ancient Edion Nisen. The gate led to Uselu and beyond Yoruba land and to Eko (Lagos). 9). Iya Isekhere: The gate which led from Ibiwe to the Oloton, Ihogbe and Oliha districts, which then opened access to Use and Egor along Unuame forest to Udo town. At each of the nine gates, a filled in Earth road, or a bridge crossed the moat. Each bridge was guarded with a gate, and near the gate was a pill-box or sentry house where the keepers of the gate stayed. They collected presents in cash and kind from the traffic passing through the gate, ama ze n'uko n'urro, ai la(without giving the gate keeper his dues, there is no passage). At dusk, the keepers shut the gates and traffic across the moats ceased until the following morning. This was interesting as entry into the city was controlled and monitored. Anything out of the ordinary was reported to the palace of the Oba of Benin. These served three purposes. 1). Security 2). Population Count 3). Economic network Excerpt from Birth to Death.

samuk: The two Co-chairmen of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) know themselves, and they are: (1) The Ooni of Ife presently in the person of HIM Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi. and (2) The Sultan of Sokoto presently in the person of Alhaji Dr. Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar. ————————— Others, including the Oba of Benin are mere floor members. @Samuk, is there anything you’ve ever typed on Nairaland which is not a lie ??

Re: Oni Was A Chief Priest by samuk: 8:56am On Dec 25, 2020 |
TAO11: I have consistently made myself clear that the Benin empire/kingdom ended in 1897. Benin was not the first empire/kingdom to come an end. Rome, Egypt and Greece were all once great empires that came to an end. Whoever is the chairman and co chairman of today's Nigeria traditional rulers is irrelevant to the history of Benin which is cast in stone. History that was made on the battlefield spanning centuries with thousands of lives lost is different from a political history on paper. The only people the Sultan have spiritual leadership over are his Northern and Yoruba muslims. His influence is not felt in the domain of the Oba of Benin who remains the spiritual head of all irrespective of religious affiliations America is the leader of today's free world, few centuries earlier America was just one of the several colonies of Great Britain. Mind you, I am only still trying to come down and operate at your level of reasoning because going above that would be an overkill. |

samuk:[/s] Jibber-Jabber as always! I like your huge ambitions though. However, you must curtail your delusions. In other words, the words “Rome”, “Egypt”, and “Greece” actually can not fit together with “Benin” even into the same library. Haha! Wait, I think the reason why the Benin stool was inconsiderable in the National leadership of traditional stools in Nigeria is because Benin kingdom is no longer at the height of its power today; while Ife and Sokoto still remain at the height of their respective powers till date. /s Shebi. Oh wait! Or we should say they cheated Benin kingdom and did pOLiTiCaL eLeVaTion for the rest? Shebi? Which narrative must we sing along sir? LMAO! Having said that: wait, did you really have to remind me that hundreds of thousands of Edos are actually under the spiritual loyalty of the white Pope — including you and all your Obas till date from the 1400s ?? Did you really have to remind me to bring up this disgraceful (to you) historical and contemporary information? Just a few days ago, you were caught talking about your generosity because of the Spirit of Christmas. I would have expected you to mention the spirit of Igue festival. LMAO! You slave for your oppressors, yet you had the audacity to tell the Yorubas what religion to freely adopt and not to adopt. You should advice Oba Ewuare instead. It’s another day oo, @Samuk. Don’t let me rough handle you again this morning. Just maintain!
