Where in Nigeria.? If they tell u that u are from Benin just know that u are not Benin oh pls u are Igodomigodo, all the Benin Oba did was sell the Igodomigodo people.
Well you tried with these history's but let me correct just one thing I know of, it wasn't Oba EWEKA that change the name IGODOMIGODO to EDO, it was Oba EWUARE the 1st who named it EDO. The name EDO was a man's name who saved him during his adversity before the throne... Benin has a great history so large, Oba ghator kpere isseee
You are one of the best narrators I've ever had listen to, informative, entertaining, culturally free expression. Could you do a series of African civilisation like Mali empire, Zulu, Ethiopian, ashati Moors, etc at least a mojor twelve. Yep it great for schools and education. Thank you chief you done masterful work. Lol you put " bad prenoiciation" as a disclaimer message 😂. I'd like to see a video of your international friends try prenoiciation of some African names and words just so us africans can have a good tickle at them.
Just got my results from an ancestry initiative. Im 98.2% African with 37.1% of that deriving completely from Esan roots in Nigeria and 28.6% from the Yoruba ethnicity. Thats why I watched this video, thanks.
You are not Esan, Esan were never taken as slaves, your genetic test is a lie, you are Igbo or yoruba, you quarter mixed slave with a neanderthal bloodline
My mother is benin and father is Yoruba and it's nice to have Nigerian parents of different tribes, because they have different cultural traditions and it's also nice see the contrast.
Hello I have a question do you no the Bamileke tribe ( Cameroon ) because a think Bamileke have some link with the Igbo tribe in Nigeria and I want to know if that’s true
You must be out of your mind, don't go and look for your land in Cameroon or Portugal that name you people BIAFRA. it seems that you don't know where you are from.
This is truth Yoruba people will keep denial this Because they said they are from saudi Arabia or from the sky... before all the kings in yoruba land, Benin kingdom already have a lot of kings before the Benin son Izoduwa (oduduwa) went to ile ife and became king in ille ife ... Ogiso and all the Oba in south are from Benin kingdom. Benin kingdom empire rule the southern part of Nigerian even across borders.....
It was Ewaure that changed the name to Edo from Igodomigodo not Eweka. And we Edo never refered to our people as Benin, it's what the Yoruba and Itsekiri called us because of our warring mentality.
None of the legends can be proven... hence why they're called legends. There are many legends that Dr Catel chose not to mention in these series because it's BASIC Nigerian history
@@ronuspirit they sure can be proven " that oduduwa is a Benin prince " can simply be proven by a modern paternal ancestry dna test same with the Lagos oba . ..the oba of Benin today is a direct descendant of oduduwa " so anyone who doubt oduduwa been Benin can ask for a DNA test period mystery solved.
As many people have pointed out, the pronunciation of Oba Ewuare was wrong. Dr Catel made a mistake by calling him Oba Ewure... but to be fair there is a disclaimer in the description of the video that states pronunciation may differ due to accent. Furthermore the origin stories Dr Catel choses to share in these videos are LEGENDS (or in some cases pure MYTH) and it's therefore entirely possible that they contain falsehoods or are untrue. This is because there are no written records of the true origins. Various different origin stories were transmitted orally by different peoples and Dr Catel is simply choosing to share the ones that he finds most interesting. Also bibliography and sources can be found in the description. Patreon link has changed from patreon.com/ronucreative and is now instead patreon.com/ronuspirit
@ besides the present day oba of Benin is a direct descendant of the so called oduduwa " why not just get an ancestry paternal DNA testing to confirm where they came from the yorubas think they can get away with lies but the modern technology is here to prove them wrong!!
The Yorubas know they don't have history, this is the they are jealous of benin historical heritage. How could a tribes that claims to have established empire be sold into slavery as the Yorubas
@@davlid100 we are not lying bro pls just upgrade your research by trying to know what is Ekiokpagha Treaty firstly sign by eweka ll secondly by Akenzua ll thirdly by Erediawa 1979 again try read the short history of the Benin's by Jacob u egharevba then everything will be clear to us
Great history told but as one has said the kingdom changed by its name was from Oba Ewuare who changed the name from Igodomigodo to Edo Bless for your insight my brother , keep up the good work on sharing historical content of African history
Ofcours their culture and language were great. I'm not talking about that. You're making the wrong assumption. I'm exploring the history of my edo heritage. Many historic facts and stories you can find in books and scriptures. I'm wondering if they wrote some back then. So I could read them. +are you saying thet edo people were atheïst?

Hello, My name is Merlène De Medeiros I am 23 years old I was born in France. My grandfather Jéronimo De Medeiros was born in Porto-Novonau Benin. I am mixed race of a father from the island of Martinique and a French mother of Nigerian and Hello, If you agree I would like you to tell me more about this culture and translate a sentence into the Yoruba language written for me because I would like to get a tattoo in the Yoruba language. the following sentence: Kindness perfumes the soul. Thank you so much.
You spelled Ewuare as Ewure. Knowing that Ewure is goat in yoruba. Was that a mistake or on purpose. If the latter is the case, I find it insulting to the Edo people. If, on the other hand, it was a mistake, please do well to correct it. You have done a great job otherwise. The name is EWUARE the great. Which is also the current Oba"s name. Making jest of it is unacceptable. 4:25
You are been fool by Erediawa thinking he can eradicate first indegineous history of the Benin's by Jacob u egharevba where all the fact were writing about ile ibinu
This argument is not necessary. A genetic test will answer the question about the origin of Oduduwa. If he is from the middle east or Benin or even somewhere else.
There no argument here....the oba of benin said it publicly while other yoruba kings where with him....even before then we the binis know it already...
I am yoruba and the history we know was that Oduduwa came from Mecca after his father was murdered. Using the magical powers passed down to him from his father, crown and staff he commanded the whirl wind to take him to a land to rule. He dropped down with a chain from the sky in Ile Ife at the time when Ife warriors were loosing a war and were being taken as captives by their Enemies. Oduduwa helped in winning the war and was later chosen as king by the oracle. He went back to rescue his brothers and cousins in mecca and brought them to ile Ife after he dreamt they were in trouble. After they stayed for a while in ile Ife they were given materials to go and create other kingdoms. According to the history Benin kingdom is one of them which explains why there is a form of similarity between Ife bronze and Benin Bronze. It also explains why the king of Benin is Called Oba which is the Yoruba word for king This is what I was taught and heard From my elders
Yea the mecca is actually Benin empire. We understand why they change the story..but they cannot change the DNA ".most yoruba kings today have Benin origin including ooni of ife. DNA cannot lie.
That is very wrong story you learned. I would like you to ask your elders in yoruba land if there was any word like ' OBA' as resent as 1960s. Oba is an Edo language and never yoruba. There is a yoruba term or name for kings and chiefs. The term oba was simply copied from Benin, Edo because of the kingdom popularity. In addition to that the word 'Eba' the food made from garri is also a Benin, Edo language term introduced to into yoruba language through Lagos in the late 70s. The yorubas never used to eat EBA all they used to eat was Amala. From origin EBA has been a the major food the Benins Edos. Ask the elderly people at home, they will confirm what i am telling you today.
@@davlid100Yoruba didn’t originate from Benin, or vice versa. We just have the same ancestors. We’re pretty much the same people if you go far back enough.
There is no genetic ethnic called Yoruba. A hundred and fifty years ago no ethnic national called Yoruba. Yoruba was created by British. British gave you name and identity.
Yeah , that is what totally boggles my mind.He keeps bring up Yoruba , by doing that he is not referring to any particular people. So , in continually referring to Yoruba, Nigerian history to me is even more mysterious not less!
Please try to always get your pronunciations right. Mistaking Ewuare with ewure is an abomination. Oba Ewuare the Great was the greatest of all Obas and Ogisos of Benin. It would make sense to verify pronunciations from indigenes before going on air. Thanks.
This is a version of Benin Yoruba people disagree with the oduduwa history Mothing on ground suppprt it Who are the edo peolple that went to ife ? History noyed that oduduwa die long time and oranmiyan was grandson!! Oranmiyan got to Benin to benin through expedition and began oba dynasty but he could not stay and left in anger.
Please do research again regarding all your rubbish story. Point of correction to some of your mistakes. 1, Ekaladeran never have a dispute with his brother or any body. 2, Oronminyon is not a grandchild to ODODUWA rather he was a direct first son of ODODUWA
@@ojooluwarotimi9292 U right. I just found out that Oduduwa had long gone before Oranmiyan was even born, and that Oranmiyan was in another generation. Thanks
They were in the forest region which was dense with forest making relative expansion hard plus nigerian area had the third most ethnic groups at a certain which was hard to unify them under one language and such
OZOUR that Benin 🇧🇯 (country) is The kingdom of Dahomey who were slave traders, it has NOTHING to do with this Benin Empire (Edo tribe/people ) in Nigerian 🇳🇬 and STILL EXISTING with the Oba being one of the most respected monarch in Nigeria and Africa. Use your internet to educate yourself!!!
Remember, Mr narrator. Edo people came down from Nile valley ( EGYPT ) to their present location in west Africa. No body name them Edo in west Africa. "Exodus in Holy Bible" Men we came a long way.
What y’all doesn’t know bout Benin history is that before the coming of oduduwa , there are people living there who are called Ogiso, it is said that they have been inhabitating in that land 2000yrs before odudwa, also Yoruba called odudwa as there progenitor NB according to history odudwa come down from heaven with a chain after obatala his brother was drunk when olodumare (God) sent him down from heaven to earth another history claim that odudwa was a prince in Nile valley (Egypt) to short it there are certain people these legends met (Benin and Ife ) we just called them the founder Bc of what they did that cannot be forgotten, so the matter of Benin and Yoruba you are related through marriage , Benin is not founded by odudwa while Yoruba land too is not founded by Benin
Pls I will like you to update your research by trying to find the meaning of 'Ekiokpagha Treaty' 2) the short history of the Benin's by Jacob u egharevba I think by then you will understand who the Benin's are thanks

@@braitkhamadetokun8578 what is the meaning of Yoruba (yariba)? Where did oduduwa (izoduwa)came from? If not Benin?
@@paulphilip257 Oduduwa was never from Idu/Igodomigodo. He was of the Sudan-Nubian region and not Bini.
That is as far as your research and informant could go.
What they told us in Nigerian language was that oduduwa came from Saudi Arabia. How e take change to edo
And you believe that nonsense??? Does his descendant oba of Benin " and ooni of ife In anyway shape or form look like arab to you???
The truth is in the paternal DNA testing. Most yoruba kings are from Edo. By way of oduduwa.
Oduduwa was from the east and east of Ife was Benin
So, you believe that lie? Have you been able to trace his origin in Mecca? He dresses like African Royalty, do you see that in Mecca?
Its so sad this empire was burned to the crown.
First
Me sha no believe say yoruba come from edo o 😕
Most of the yoruba kings have edo origin " and a modern DNA testing can confirm that.
Oga yoruba comes from edo believe it
Please try to always get your pronunciations right. Mistaking Ewuare with ewure is an abomination. Oba Ewuare the Great was the greatest of all Obas and Ogisos of Benin. It would make sense to verify pronunciations from indigenes before going on air. Thanks.
rubbish benin kingdom
GLOBAL INITIATIVES FOR HUMAN RIGHTS G your mom
GLOBAL INITIATIVES FOR HUMAN RIGHTS G ko ni dafuen
@@Femi- useless Oba of benin
@@Femi- Oba of benin is as useless like Clement Eranomigho the online begger
Ewuare the Great
AA!JJ what are you doing!?
Lol your pronunciation of Oduduwa and Oranmiyan are so off.
Very off
Its Oba Ewuare 1
This is a version of Benin
Yoruba people disagree with the oduduwa history
Mothing on ground suppprt it
Who are the edo peolple that went to ife ?
History noyed that oduduwa die long time and oranmiyan was grandson!!
Oranmiyan got to Benin to benin through expedition and began oba dynasty but he could not stay and left in anger.
Please do research again regarding all your rubbish story.
Point of correction to some of your mistakes.
1, Ekaladeran never have a dispute with his brother or any body.
2, Oronminyon is not a grandchild to ODODUWA rather he was a direct first son of ODODUWA
Liar. He was presumed to be the last son of Oduduwa
Oranmiyan is not ODUDUWA's direct son
@@ojooluwarotimi9292 U right. I just found out that Oduduwa had long gone before Oranmiyan was even born, and that Oranmiyan was in another generation. Thanks
How come the Benin Empire didn't want to expand their Territories all Across of Africa ?
They were in the forest region which was dense with forest making relative expansion hard plus nigerian area had the third most ethnic groups at a certain which was hard to unify them under one language and such
The name is 9ba Ewaere
Benin was a slave 'empire', a people who practiced human sacrifice and cannabalism. But you go ahead and be proud of that!
OZOUR that Benin 🇧🇯 (country) is The kingdom of Dahomey who were slave traders, it has NOTHING to do with this Benin Empire (Edo tribe/people ) in Nigerian 🇳🇬 and STILL EXISTING with the Oba being one of the most respected monarch in Nigeria and Africa. Use your internet to educate yourself!!!
This narrator amuses me with his weird pronunciations but he is abreast with reality. 👍🏽👍🏽
Remember, Mr narrator. Edo people came down from Nile valley ( EGYPT ) to their present location in west Africa. No body name them Edo in west Africa. "Exodus in Holy Bible" Men we came a long way.
Oga I beg go for history. This one is not related at all
Shut the fuck up! Africa existed FIRST!
@@adesinataiwo7941 u dis taiwo i am sure u b Edo mix blood
What y’all doesn’t know bout Benin history is that before the coming of oduduwa , there are people living there who are called Ogiso, it is said that they have been inhabitating in that land 2000yrs before odudwa, also Yoruba called odudwa as there progenitor NB according to history odudwa come down from heaven with a chain after obatala his brother was drunk when olodumare (God) sent him down from heaven to earth another history claim that odudwa was a prince in Nile valley (Egypt) to short it there are certain people these legends met (Benin and Ife ) we just called them the founder Bc of what they did that cannot be forgotten, so the matter of Benin and Yoruba you are related through marriage , Benin is not founded by odudwa while Yoruba land too is not founded by Benin
😂🤣🤣😂
They nothing like Edo empire it was Benin empire, it becomes Edo kingdom after the British conquest
it's Ewuare the great not Ewure the great🙄
It is pronounced Oba Ewu-Ah-reh and not Ewure which means goat in Yoruba. Please fix as it is too bad how you said it. Thanks for everything else
im happy to know that im a decendent of him

Pls I will like you to update your research by trying to find the meaning of 'Ekiokpagha Treaty' 2) the short history of the Benin's by Jacob u egharevba I think by then you will understand who the Benin's are thanks
Most yoruba obas have edo ancestor by way of oduduwa..a modern paternal DNA testing can confirm this. Thank you.
@@davlid100 is that the fake history porpoted by erediawa in 1996 you people are following, if you don't know your history you don't know where you are coming from neither know where you're going.
@@braitkhamadetokun8578 a simple paternal ancestry DNA testing can confirm this...no room for argument!!
@@davlid100 you are right but can the oba render himself for it?
@@braitkhamadetokun8578 oba or ooni of ife any male in that family will do. An ancestry paternal DNA testing will bring out the truth if they are Benin or Saudi Arabia Hahahahahahahahaha..
Ubini not Ibinu am tired of this people.
EWUARE not EWURE. EWURE means Goat.
Oga UA-camr pls do well to pronounce the names... Thanks
Oduduwa did not reign in Benin
And if there is anybody that should have the correct history
It shouod be the ife peolpe

Oh wow... Zulu empire is not currently on the project path... Cause I'm focusing on empires in and around the area that became Nigeria. However Home team history has done a great video on Zulu empire. You should check him out.
