I'm so glad she she said benin is the origin of civilization . This is very true . This is the first time I've seen an african coronation especially a Benin oba coronation. I can see some of the guest are kings from other regions and countries. It's great to see royalty from benin ,hausa,yoruba,and Igbo celebrating together. Nigeria and benin is rich in culture
Well said, though all the Monarchs (Kings) present were from the North, South, East and West of Nigeria 🇳🇬. There were no foreign kings present only foreign ambassadors of other countries.
No doubt Edo's r beautiful ppl with d gr8test kingdom n empire. Very honored to witness dis part of history my beautiful history. God bless Edo n Yoruba ppl.
Nigeria and Africa by extension must find ways of uniting in its diversity. The cultures are too rich and beautiful to degenerate into sameness in the name of unity.

Barry Gold The people of Benin Republic are originally from Benin Kingdom(Modern day Edo state/Benin in Nigeria)...They had to come ask for permission from the Oba of Benin to name their country after Benin Kingdom(Modern day edo state/Benin in Nigeria) And which is where they migrated from,when they got their independence from France. Do your research and thank me later!✌🏽
@@kingmartin3990No we have NOTHING to do with Benin 🇧🇯, we DO NOT have the same ethnicity. This is Edo, Nigeria 🇳🇬, not former Dahomey now Benin 🇧🇯. Use the same internet to educate yourself. Btw the Edo people/tribe can only be found in Nigeria and it’s a minority tribe.

What has Oshomole done? He left the state denying the Edo people from basic amenities such as electricity, and we say he did well? No he embezzled the state.
Oranmiyan from Ile ife was sent by Oduduwa his son. He ruled very well in Benin and loved by the pople. But some were rebel against him and made the kingdom very difficult to rule. He impregnated a woman before he left. Oranmiyan later left Benin to found Oyo Alaafin and refer to Benein as the land of vexation means Ile Ibinu (Ibinu Kpabi). The City adopted the name Ile-Ibinu but when the European came they could not call the name but call the city Benin. Till today they call Benin City. The love people pleaded with Oranmiyan not to leave was very annoyed with the situation and promise not to have another King until Oranmiyan wife give birth. He later gave birth and named Eweka meaning the Oranmiyan has came back. And Eweka became king at a tender age. Till today the Eweka dynasty still ruling in Benin. Called Oba Of Benin.
Ekaladeran (what the Yoruba call Ododuwa) was a Benin or Igodomigodo Prince who left ( due to some circumstances) Benin to found Ile- ife kingdom who later sent his first son called ORAMIYAN to Igodomigodo/Benin. ORAMIYAN later left Igodomigodo/Benin Kingdom to found Oyo Kingdom although before leaving he impregnated a Enogie ( Duke) daughter who gave birth to Eweka. Therefore, the Benins/Igodomigodos are the Ruler of Ile-ife and Oyo Kingdom in now called Yoruba land ( which was given to them by Hausa traders). Btw, I'm not Benin but the truth must be told.
Ewaka is a Yoruba name too.The name Eweka was corrupted from a Yoruba statement OWO MI KA which means I caught it in Yoruba and that indicated the first statement made by Eweka was in Yoruba.The Benin people arguing that their Oba is not a Yoruba should continue to deceive themselves.There is nothing like the history has it that Oduduwa left Benin and went to Ife in Yoruba history,the Yoruba history has it that Oduduwa was not Ekalederan and he never came from Benin.It is a big lie that Oduduwa came from Benin
@@paulphilip257 How do you came about the name Benin if there was no Yoruba before because Benin was named with Yoruba language Ile Ibinu.The name Yoruba is a name the Yoruba people are proud of,the Yoruba people do not care about what other people think about the name
The Benin never came from Yoruba/yariba, Benin was corrupted from ubenu, which means home of beautiful pageantry, so I don't know where you get your ile ibunu or what ever. In what century did the name Yoruba/yariba came into existence? What is the meaning of Yoruba/yariba? The Benin gave the Yoruba/yariba people kingship, in the person of oduduwa. So keep deceiving yourself
@@paulphilip257 There was no country known as Nigeria before it was named Nigeria but the Nigerian people has been existing before the people became Nigerians just like the people from Ife kingdom,Oyo kingdom,Ibadan Oluyole Kingdom,Ijebu kingdom,Egba kingdom and other Yoruba kingdoms has been there before they were called Yoruba people.The coming of Oranmiyan from Ife proved that and naming Benin with Yoruba words Ile Ibinu also proved that too.People has always been there before they were named.The meaning of Yoruba should not border you as long as the Yoruba people are okay with their name,the interesting thing is the Yoruba people are proud to be Yorubas because they do not denied being Yorubas.No matter the definition of Yoruba or what you people called Yoruba,the Yoruba people do not care and I don`t care either
@@paulphilip257 Oramiyan that named Benin came from Yoruba land Ile Ife and he returned back to Ile Ife.The Yoruba people brought Obaship to Benin not the other way round,you had Ogiso in Benin before Oramiyan came and the Yoruba people made Oduduwa a king themselves according to the instruction of the Ifa oracle.Oduduwa was not the first Oba in Yoruba land,he met the Oba thrown in Ife/You can not give the Yoruba people Oba because you never had an Oba in Benin before the arrival of Oranmiyan, when Oduduwa came you had Ogiso not Oba.If Oduduwa is from Benin and you had Oba in Benin before he came to Ile Ife he would have been an Ogiso not Oba.Oduduwa do not have any relationship with Benin people according to the history of the Yoruba people,you Benin people can not know the history of the Yoruba people than the Yoruba people.Benin name came from Ile Ibinu,it is in the history of the Yoruba people and Benin history.You Benin people said you drove ekalederan that never existed out of Benin and he ran into the jungle because he was afraid that he might be killed,so how can you later said you gave him to the Yoruba people as Oba when you Benin people drove him out of Benin.You never had Oba in Benin before Oranmiyan and the Yoruba people came to Igodomigodo.Oranmiyan ended Ogiso dynasty and started Obaship in Benin,he also changed the name of Benin from Igodomigodo to Benin with Yoruba language Ile Ibinu
The members of the family of the Benin Oba are Yoruba people with Yoruba blood.The Benin people are always ashamed to accept that the Yoruba people took over their leadership so they always say that Oranmiyan is the son of Oduduwa and Oduduwa sent Oranmiyan to Benin.Oranmiyan was not the son of Oduduwa and Oduduwa did not sent Oramiyan to invade Benin because Oduduwa was already dead before Oramiyan came to Benin.Oduduwa had only one son named Okanbi,the biological father of Oranmiyan was Ogun,the son of Oduduwa was the second husband of the mother of Oramiyan so Okanbi was only a step father to Oranmiyan,The mother of Oranmiyan has already given birth to Oranmiyan before she met Okanbi the step father of Oranmiyan.Oduduwa did not know or met Oranmiyan neither was he alive when Oranmiyan invaded Benin.The father and mother of Oranmiyan were Yoruba people completely.Ogun the real father of Oramiyan was a warrior and a real Yoruba man.Oduduwa is not from Benin either,the royalty of Benin is complete Yoruba too,the Yoruba people brought royalty and crown to Benin,the culture they are demonstrating in this coronation is the culture of the Yoruba people not Benin.Ogiso system was the Benin culture and Ogisos have no crown ,it was from Ile Ife Oranmiyan brought the first crown to Beninr.Ile Ife people brought Obaship to Benin and ended Ogiso dynasty.The Ile Ife people colonised the Benin people and named Benin as well,the Benin people can not deny that they were colonised by Ile Ife people
@@felixtamasang3033 Am sure about my history because i studied history, so you are not the one in the position to tell me to leave history because history must be talked about. How are you sure am talking about what i don't know, you Benin people are the people talking about what you do not know everytime on line and making unnecessary claims
@@felixtamasang3033 Your Oba was not born then too, so he should Keep his Story to himself, the Yoruba people have a complete different history about Oduduwa and Oramiyan, your Oba told his false Story to manipulate you Benin people because of his selfish Interest and the interest of the royal family .The Yoruba people Oduduwa is not the son of any Ogiso according to the history of the Yoruba people. Before Oramiyan came to Berlin Oduduwa Was already dead. Oranmiyan was not a direct son of Oduduwa either. Oranmiyan was a kid when Oduduwa died
Because with ogiso dynasty, kingship wasn't inherited. The eldest in the land gets the title and people easy usurped the position. But with establishment of Oba, the position started passing through lineage and heirs. Get it?
Ogiso changed it from IDU land to IGODOMIGODO and the Oba changed it from IGODOMIGODO to Benin Kingdom. So many Ogiso didn't practice hereditary but Oba is hereditary but same people and one family. Ọba gha tó Ọ kpére....isẹẹ
The Benin people shoud stop telling fake story here.Oduduwa was not the father of Oranmiyan and Oduduwa had only one son called Okanbi.Before Oranmiyan came to Benin Oduduwa had died so Oduduwa did not sent his son to Benin.Oduduwa did not even know Oranmiyan.The only son of Oduduwa named Okanbi only got married to the mother of Oranmiyan after she left Ogun her first husband but she has already given birth to Oranmiyan before she met Okanbi her second husband.The biological father of Oranmiyan was Ogun.Oranmiyan was a complete Yoruba man with Yoruba blood,he was raised up in Ile Ife,he was a son of a warrior called Ogun who was a Yoruba man ,the mother of Oranmiyan was also a Yoruba woman.The mother of Okanbi the only son of Oduduwa was also a Yoruba woman.Oduduwa was not from Benin like you Benin people are saying either.Ewaka the son of Oranmiyan was the man who only had a Benin mother
Are you not ashamed of yourself? With this your writing you still fail to tell us here who is Oduduwa! Who's Oduduwa's siblings Who's are Oduduwa's parents? Who are Oduduwa's Friends? Yorubas have different versions of History. You people are so stupid by telling the whole world that Oduduwa fell from the sky. The other day the Ooni said Oduduwa was from Arab. Up till now the yorubas refused to tell us the Origin of Oduduwa. Now you are saying that Oduduwa only have one son mean while the yoruba Historians said Oduduwa was the father of Oromiyan. Just see the way you are fooling yourself
D only first class yoruba king known to history is d alafin of Oyo who happens to b d second son of oranmiyan while the oba of Benin is d first son of oranmiyan, d ooni is a priest assigned by d alafin of oyo to take care of oduduwa shrine in ife not to sit on oduduwa throne bcos he's not worthy to sit on it as he does not have d blue blood of oduduwa,,oranmiyan happens to b d heir to oduduwa throne while d oba of Benin is d heir to oranmiyan, oduduwa is d heir to ogiso throne in Benin ,,d throne in which d oba of Benin sits on,ogiso had only one son named oduduwa, oduduwa had 7 children out of which d first two are girls and oranmiyan is his third child and first son making him his heir according to tradition,,oranmiyan first gave birth to eweka in Benin before he went to Oyo ,therefore eweka is d first son of oranmiyan before oranmiyan gave birth to d second alafin of Oyo who is his second son,,,d Yorubas sees oduduwa as a God but the Edo's know he is not a God but the son of ogiso,,after oranmiyan left Benin he couldn't stay in ife bcos his father (oduduwa) was still alive nd he can not leave in the same palace with another king after sitting on d ogiso throne in Benin, so he left for Oyo and bcam d first alafin of Oyo,,upon d death of oduduwa he (oranmiyan)was called back to became d king but he declined on d ground dat he was already a king in Oyo and so he asked d slave priest(ooni) to take care of d shrine in ife,,upon d death of oranmiyan his second son was crowned d second alafin of Oyo and he also declined going back to ife on d ground dat d ife throne does not belong to him but belong to his fathers first son (Oba of Benin) who was already sitting on a more ancient throne in a more developed city (benin ),,and so d ooni lineage continued as keeper of d shrine but never sits on d oduduwa throne,,,,,,from dis little explanation I have to say d Oba of Benin is more higher and mightier dan any Yoruba king,,
Paul Philip To you Benin people, your Story may be right but to the Yoruba people your story is Wrong. The Ooni of Ife is far greater than the Oba of Benin, because it was from Ife they brought Obaship to Berlin and the thrown the Ooni of ife is sitting on top is the throne of the King of Ife and from Ife and it was the same thrown Oduduwa sät upon, the Yoruba people crowed the first Oba of Benin. Before the greatness of Benin Ife was great, the greatness of Benin started when Oranmiyan came to Benin with the Yoruba people not during the Ogiso era and not when Benin was called igodimigodo. Oranmiyan was an Ife prince not Benin prince, his mother was a Yoruba woman and he never had any relationship with Benin until he brought Obaship to Benin neither can he speak Benin language, he named Benin with Yoruba language and his son Eweka Was named with Yoruba words Owomika which was corrupted to Eweka. Before Oduduwa came to Ife there was Obatala and other Obas have also ruied Ile Ife. Oduduwa met the throne of Ife when he came to Ife, during the reign of Oduduwa, it was true that the Ooni was a preist, but Oduduwa himself gave him the right to sit on the throne he sät on, the Ife has been existing before the arrival of Oduduwa. The first Alafin of Oyo was not the second son of Oranmiyan, the first Alafin of Oyo was Oramiyan himself, so the first Oba of Benin was the son of Oranmiyan who founded Oyo, though Oranmiyan established the Oba thrown of Benin before he founded Oyo but There was Oba in Ile Ife before Benin. The Yoruba people know there history and they are not forcing it on any other tribe in Nigeria, the Yoruba people are only stating the facts. The Story of the Benin people has always been been unacceptable .by the Yoruba people ,Ife is far older than Benin as well.Oduduwa himself has no relationship with Benin according to the history of the Yoruba people. If the Benin people agreed that Oramiyan started Obaship in Benin and the Yoruba people changed the name of Benin with Yoruba, these two activities has proved the supremacy of the Ife people over Benin people without no doubt
@@RobbySyzing-mt4zo ooni of ife is not a direct blood line of oduduwa, but a child of a pregnant woman proposed for sacrifice, whose life was spared because of her pregnancy, the child she gave birth to later became ooni in charge of oduduwa shrine, but elevated to king by Awolowo for political reasons. Be guarded
@@paulphilip257 The Ooni you are talking about was the first governor of Africa Oba Adesoji Aderemi,that was the Ooni that existed during the era of Awolowo.The issue of the first Ooni was after the demise of Oduduwa,centuries back when Awolowo don't even know that he will come to this world or ever lived.It was true that the first Ooni has no blood relationship with Oduduwa and he was a preist but Oduduwa placed him on his throne because all his children has gone to create other kingdoms before he died,for example Oranmiyan went to create Oyo and he was the first Alafin and his family were war lords fighting wars up and down,the son of Alafin called Afonja founded Ilorin he was also a great war Lord too,Ondo was also created by one of the twins children of Alafin,the whole Oyo state was also from Oyo people,While Other children of Oduduwa also left to start creating kingdoms like Akure ,Ekiti,Elesha,Ijebu and so on.Even the first inhabitants of Lagos ,the Aworis also left from Ife to Lagos,they are the children of Olofin .The children were not in the palace when Oduduwa died.Ooni was so close to Oduduwa before he died because of his role as the chief priest of Ife,that was what resulted to why Ooni could be able to sit on the thrown of Oduduwa,since the children of Oduduwa decided to be independent .The Ooni was a preist before,that is true but he sat on the same throne of Oduduwa as a king when Oduduwa died up till this present moment.It is not all the Yoruba people that are the children of Oduduwa either because Oduduwa met the Yoruba people in Ife himself
The Oba of Benin is not correct concerning the issues of Oduduwa,Oranmiyan,Lagos and Dahomey,he manipulated the issues with wisdom to satisfy his selfish interest and the interest of his Benin people and that is not how a trust worthy leader should behave publicly,but am sure that he knows deep down that he can not deceive historians with his fake history.Oduduwa met the Yoruba people in Ile Ife,Ile means land in Yoruba while Ife means expanding,the land that is expanding is the meaning of Ile Ife,just like the Yoruba people named Benin with Yoruba language ILE IBINU which means land of vexation or anger.Before Oduduwa came to Ife sixteen Obas has ruled Ile Ife,the names of the sixteen kings were Obalufe,Obalaye,Obaloran,Orunto,Obalufon,Obadio,Elesije,Ejesi,Ejio together with seven others,there is always a leader in any good society or else there will be uncomfortable situation,Oduduwa was not the first Oba in Ile Ife.Oba has been in existence in Ile Ife before the arrival of Oduduwa.Oba is a Yoruba word for king.Ogiso dynasty has also been in Benin before Oramiyan came to established Oba a Yoruba system of leadership in Ile Ibinu now called Benin.The thrown of Ile Ife was empty before the arrival of Oduduwa ,the oracle predicted that the new king will soon arrived .When Oduduwa arrived he arrived with a crown in his head and prince do not wear crown,so the Benin people should stop saying he is their prince,the crown in the head of Oranmiyan has no similarity to Ogiso system either.If Oduduwa was from Benin Oranmiyan his son will not established the Yoruba system called Oba in Benin a place where Ogiso dynasty has already been established,If Oduduwa was the first Oba in Ife and he was from Benin the kings of Ife should be called Ogiso not Oba,Oba is the Yoruba language for king while Ogiso means king in Benin language.Oduduwa is not from Benin either.the mother of Oranmiyan was a Yoruba woman too.The Benin people never owned part of Lagos or Dahomey either.The Awori people were the first settlers in Lagos and they are the indigenous people and owner of Lagos right from the start,the Benin people only became part of the royalty of Lagos just like Oranmiyan a Yoruba man became part of the royalty of Benin,The Benin people were never landlords in Lagos,the whole Lagos belongs to the Yoruba people.The Benin empire was fenced round and the fence is within Benin,it does not extend to any part of Lagos or Dahomey,it is Yoruba land that extend to Dahomey,there are Yoruba speaking people in Ketu in Dahomey up till this present moment,there is no place in Dahomey where there are people speaking Benin language.The republic of Benin people are complete different people with different language and tradition,they have no relationship with the Benin of Nigeria.Benin people should stop twisting history to suit their interest.We studied history so we can not be fooled by the Benin people at all
Instead of opening your mind to receive knowledge but you rather allowed ethnicity and quest for supremacy to blind your cognitive mind. I wonder how you manage your home. Internet troll. Yoruba Bigot.
This is just the problem of africans, especially we Nigerians. Yoruba is saying their own kingdom is the best blah blah... Edo man is saying his own. Abeg pls.. so, why are we going to succeed when even on the traditional level we cant coordinate ourselves.. it is a shame
logbene great penu Edo man is here Liking and loving is great 👍 culture and tradition but the Yorubas and all others are hating on us get the fact straight. Obaghatokpere Ise...✊🏿
This is very false, First of all, there is no such thing as “Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan” in Benin oral tradition. Neither was any oduduwa banished as collected by earlier benin writings ekaladerhan and oduduwa are completely different personalities These are only present in Benin forged stories which were invented in the 1970s. I would clarify. Historians, for example, name these forged stories [of “Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan”] as the Benin “deliberately unauthentic” stories. Do historians regard these stories as forgery simply because they woke up on the wrong side of the bed feeling that way? Obviously not. These [“Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan”] stories are found to be forgeries for the simple reason that much earlier documented Benin tradition debunks these stories. For example, some eighty (80) years before these [“Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan”] stories were invented, Mr. Cyril Punch had documented the Benin tradition about Ekaladerhan. Mr Cyril Punch’s documentation of the tradition about Ekaladerhan around the year 1889 (and quoted in Roth 1903) shows categorically that Ekaladerhan has absolutely nothing to do with Ife. The beginning and ending of the Ekaladerhan episode from Mr Cyril Punch’s documentation as quoted in H. L. Roth, 1903, pp. 53-54. is as follows: Ekaladerhan fled Benin due to a grave scandal; he then founded the kingdom of Ughoton; he ultimately reached a mutual solemn compromise with Benin, namely that: His “independent sovereignty” is allowed at his new kingdom of Ughoton, the Binis eventually allowed him his independence at Ughoton - the only condition they gave was that he is not allowed to return to Benin. Following this documentation of the Benin episode of Ekaladerhan (which shows both his independent sovereignty at Ughoton and his truce with Benin); Chief Egharevba also grew up to independently collect the same tradition about Ekaladerhan some fifty (50) years after Punch. It took another 80+ years after Punch for some Binis(Omoregie 1970, Edebiri 1970, Akenzua 1971, and Iyare 1973) to to attempt a reversal of the already documented Benin episode of Ekaladerhan which the Oba being coronated in view now popularized The first of these Bini equates Ekaladerhan as one and the same person with Oranmiyan. However, those who followed his lead thought it was better to equate him with Oduduwa instead. The extant, classical and “official” Benin account is that Ife founded your Oba monarchy. It wasn’t until the 1970s that some binis claimed that Ekalderhan is Oduduwa. The first of this said ekaladerhan was oranmiyan by chief omoregie then at the time of the coronation of the oba in view ekaladerhan was now oduduwa himself. Even going by Benin sources (the earliest indigenous Benin sources on the subject for that matter), says the Ogiso chiefdom dynasty itself of “Benin” was sent from Ife to benin Many years ago, Oduduwa of Ile-Ife sent a son - who took the title of Ogiso - with a large retinue from Ife to found a kingdom in this part of the world. ~ Chief Obakhavbaye of Benin, J. U. Egharevba, “A Short History of Benin,” (1936), p. 7. Furthermore, Oduduwa(odu to da iwa.. The source or creator of being or wisdom) is a yoruba name with a meaning in the language. There's no record of any ekaladerhan in ife or anything indigenous benin in ife. Where oduduwa came from is very clear it was the hilly settlement of oke-ora near the ife bowl this is collected in ife oral history, instead we see a lot of yoruba-ife influences in the benin monarchy for example in the praise appellation of the oba for instance; ovbi adimula(son of adimula(a title of Oduduwa), Abieyuwa N’Ovbi Odua N’uhe The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife), you don't see ekaladerhan or some izoduwa there. Also the names of the past kings of benin which can't be broken down etymologically in bini i.e ewuare formerly prince OGUN then became ewuare(ewu-a-re.... trouble has ceased) ogidigan(o-gi-di-gan means it is very great or tough in yoruba) the bini dictionary itself is filled with a lot of words which are clearly referenced from the yoruba language. The ugie oduduwa festival celebrates oduduwa and oranmiyan and not ekaladerhan or ogiso owodo
@Mr Rapan Pass This guy, you're so obsessed and insecure. This is history written down academic. It's no dream. You literally have no evidence to all your claims apart from what's in your head. Are you literate at all? I don't do my papa pass you papa I give academic authentic written history
@Mr Rapan Pass Lol stop embarrassing yourself bro. Yorubas are not magicians we didn't write it. How can you survive academia if everything that you don't agree with in relation to benin yoruba relationship is written by yorubas. It's a childish and silly rebuttal
@Mr Rapan Pass You have mental problems. Obviously you have no good rebuttal so you have to resort to cheap baseless false attacks. Shows me you're really suffering from inferiority complex. I don't need to prove the greatness of ife and the yoruba. Your anger, frustration, and attacks when exposed to truth proves it. Keep crying dear😂😭
Why is it that oni of ife throne is not hereditary because the person that started the throne is not a yoruba man, why is it that there is no yoruba empire? The elaje, owo, ekale, they not yorubas by ancestry go and ask them
I'm so glad she she said benin is the origin of civilization . This is very true . This is the first time I've seen an african coronation especially a Benin oba coronation. I can see some of the guest are kings from other regions and countries. It's great to see royalty from benin ,hausa,yoruba,and Igbo celebrating together. Nigeria and benin is rich in culture
Well said, though all the Monarchs (Kings) present were from the North, South, East and West of Nigeria 🇳🇬. There were no foreign kings present only foreign ambassadors of other countries.
No doubt Edo's r beautiful ppl with d gr8test kingdom n empire. Very honored to witness dis part of history my beautiful history. God bless Edo n Yoruba ppl.

CAPACITY
Unlike Benin City
Capacity is not the name of a city
But is what you need to build a city
Capacitate yourself with the necessary capacity
And you can build your desired city
Even in the face of adversity
I salute the ancients of the ancient city
Whose capacity built Benin City
Benin City, the land of my ancestry
Benin City, the land of my nativity
Benin City, home sweet home to me
Cradle of ancient civilization, Benin City
Where the Oba is king truly
I recall in their first visits to Benin City
The white parties did marvel at the city
Because in building Benin City

This is Benin City in Edo State Nigeria...Not Republic of Benin
Barry Gold The people of Benin Republic are originally from Benin Kingdom(Modern day Edo state/Benin in Nigeria)...They had to come ask for permission from the Oba of Benin to name their country after Benin Kingdom(Modern day edo state/Benin in Nigeria) And which is where they migrated from,when they got their independence from France. Do your research and thank me later!✌🏽

Oranmiyan from Ile ife was sent by Oduduwa his son. He ruled very well in Benin and loved by the pople. But some were rebel against him and made the kingdom very difficult to rule. He impregnated a woman before he left. Oranmiyan later left Benin to found Oyo Alaafin and refer to Benein as the land of vexation means Ile Ibinu (Ibinu Kpabi). The City adopted the name Ile-Ibinu but when the European came they could not call the name but call the city Benin. Till today they call Benin City. The love people pleaded with Oranmiyan not to leave was very annoyed with the situation and promise not to have another King until Oranmiyan wife give birth. He later gave birth and named Eweka meaning the Oranmiyan has came back. And Eweka became king at a tender age. Till today the Eweka dynasty still ruling in Benin. Called Oba Of Benin.
Who asked you ?fake historian.
Oduduwa is an exiled Prince from the land of Ogodomigodo now called Benin, he went to ife to rule over the Yorubas
You should be bold to tell us the father of oranmiyan and were he came from? Oduduwa is a Benin Prince who rule over the Yoruba people.
Fake news
Ekaladeran (what the Yoruba call Ododuwa) was a Benin or Igodomigodo Prince who left ( due to some circumstances) Benin to found Ile- ife kingdom who later sent his first son called ORAMIYAN to Igodomigodo/Benin. ORAMIYAN later left Igodomigodo/Benin Kingdom to found Oyo Kingdom although before leaving he impregnated a Enogie ( Duke) daughter who gave birth to Eweka. Therefore, the Benins/Igodomigodos are the Ruler of Ile-ife and Oyo Kingdom in now called Yoruba land ( which was given to them by Hausa traders). Btw, I'm not Benin but the truth must be told.
dangote my guy so smart bad guy.
Oba gha to kpere
Ewaka is a Yoruba name too.The name Eweka was corrupted from a Yoruba statement OWO MI KA which means I caught it in Yoruba and that indicated the first statement made by Eweka was in Yoruba.The Benin people arguing that their Oba is not a Yoruba should continue to deceive themselves.There is nothing like the history has it that Oduduwa left Benin and went to Ife in Yoruba history,the Yoruba history has it that Oduduwa was not Ekalederan and he never came from Benin.It is a big lie that Oduduwa came from Benin
What is the meaning of Yoruba/yariba? Was there any kingdom know as Yoruba/yaribawa kingdom in the past?
@@paulphilip257 How do you came about the name Benin if there was no Yoruba before because Benin was named with Yoruba language Ile Ibinu.The name Yoruba is a name the Yoruba people are proud of,the Yoruba people do not care about what other people think about the name
The Benin never came from Yoruba/yariba, Benin was corrupted from ubenu, which means home of beautiful pageantry, so I don't know where you get your ile ibunu or what ever. In what century did the name Yoruba/yariba came into existence? What is the meaning of Yoruba/yariba? The Benin gave the Yoruba/yariba people kingship, in the person of oduduwa. So keep deceiving yourself
@@paulphilip257 There was no country known as Nigeria before it was named Nigeria but the Nigerian people has been existing before the people became Nigerians just like the people from Ife kingdom,Oyo kingdom,Ibadan Oluyole Kingdom,Ijebu kingdom,Egba kingdom and other Yoruba kingdoms has been there before they were called Yoruba people.The coming of Oranmiyan from Ife proved that and naming Benin with Yoruba words Ile Ibinu also proved that too.People has always been there before they were named.The meaning of Yoruba should not border you as long as the Yoruba people are okay with their name,the interesting thing is the Yoruba people are proud to be Yorubas because they do not denied being Yorubas.No matter the definition of Yoruba or what you people called Yoruba,the Yoruba people do not care and I don`t care either
@@paulphilip257 Oramiyan that named Benin came from Yoruba land Ile Ife and he returned back to Ile Ife.The Yoruba people brought Obaship to Benin not the other way round,you had Ogiso in Benin before Oramiyan came and the Yoruba people made Oduduwa a king themselves according to the instruction of the Ifa oracle.Oduduwa was not the first Oba in Yoruba land,he met the Oba thrown in Ife/You can not give the Yoruba people Oba because you never had an Oba in Benin before the arrival of Oranmiyan, when Oduduwa came you had Ogiso not Oba.If Oduduwa is from Benin and you had Oba in Benin before he came to Ile Ife he would have been an Ogiso not Oba.Oduduwa do not have any relationship with Benin people according to the history of the Yoruba people,you Benin people can not know the history of the Yoruba people than the Yoruba people.Benin name came from Ile Ibinu,it is in the history of the Yoruba people and Benin history.You Benin people said you drove ekalederan that never existed out of Benin and he ran into the jungle because he was afraid that he might be killed,so how can you later said you gave him to the Yoruba people as Oba when you Benin people drove him out of Benin.You never had Oba in Benin before Oranmiyan and the Yoruba people came to Igodomigodo.Oranmiyan ended Ogiso dynasty and started Obaship in Benin,he also changed the name of Benin from Igodomigodo to Benin with Yoruba language Ile Ibinu
The members of the family of the Benin Oba are Yoruba people with Yoruba blood.The Benin people are always ashamed to accept that the Yoruba people took over their leadership so they always say that Oranmiyan is the son of Oduduwa and Oduduwa sent Oranmiyan to Benin.Oranmiyan was not the son of Oduduwa and Oduduwa did not sent Oramiyan to invade Benin because Oduduwa was already dead before Oramiyan came to Benin.Oduduwa had only one son named Okanbi,the biological father of Oranmiyan was Ogun,the son of Oduduwa was the second husband of the mother of Oramiyan so Okanbi was only a step father to Oranmiyan,The mother of Oranmiyan has already given birth to Oranmiyan before she met Okanbi the step father of Oranmiyan.Oduduwa did not know or met Oranmiyan neither was he alive when Oranmiyan invaded Benin.The father and mother of Oranmiyan were Yoruba people completely.Ogun the real father of Oramiyan was a warrior and a real Yoruba man.Oduduwa is not from Benin either,the royalty of Benin is complete Yoruba too,the Yoruba people brought royalty and crown to Benin,the culture they are demonstrating in this coronation is the culture of the Yoruba people not Benin.Ogiso system was the Benin culture and Ogisos have no crown ,it was from Ile Ife Oranmiyan brought the first crown to Beninr.Ile Ife people brought Obaship to Benin and ended Ogiso dynasty.The Ile Ife people colonised the Benin people and named Benin as well,the Benin people can not deny that they were colonised by Ile Ife people

How are you sure am talking about what i don't know, you Benin people are the people talking about what you do not know everytime on line and making unnecessary claims
@@felixtamasang3033 Your Oba was not born then too, so he should Keep his Story to himself, the Yoruba people have a complete different history about Oduduwa and Oramiyan, your Oba told his false Story to manipulate you Benin people because of his selfish Interest and the interest of the royal family .The Yoruba people Oduduwa is not the son of any Ogiso according to the history of the Yoruba people. Before Oramiyan came to Berlin Oduduwa Was already dead. Oranmiyan was not a direct son of Oduduwa either. Oranmiyan was a kid when Oduduwa died
Benin people should tell us why oramiyan abolished the ogiso dynasty I want to know.
Because with ogiso dynasty, kingship wasn't inherited. The eldest in the land gets the title and people easy usurped the position. But with establishment of Oba, the position started passing through lineage and heirs. Get it?
@@oekuase6633 you are right..
Ogiso changed it from IDU land to IGODOMIGODO and the Oba changed it from IGODOMIGODO to Benin Kingdom. So many Ogiso didn't practice hereditary but Oba is hereditary but same people and one family.
Ọba gha tó Ọ kpére....isẹẹ
Oramiyan didn’t abolish Ogisoship in Igodomigodo. The last Ogiso, which was the father of Ikaladeran (Oduduwa) was banished due to what he did.
.
The Benin people shoud stop telling fake story here.Oduduwa was not the father of Oranmiyan and Oduduwa had only one son called Okanbi.Before Oranmiyan came to Benin Oduduwa had died so Oduduwa did not sent his son to Benin.Oduduwa did not even know Oranmiyan.The only son of Oduduwa named Okanbi only got married to the mother of Oranmiyan after she left Ogun her first husband but she has already given birth to Oranmiyan before she met Okanbi her second husband.The biological father of Oranmiyan was Ogun.Oranmiyan was a complete Yoruba man with Yoruba blood,he was raised up in Ile Ife,he was a son of a warrior called Ogun who was a Yoruba man ,the mother of Oranmiyan was also a Yoruba woman.The mother of Okanbi the only son of Oduduwa was also a Yoruba woman.Oduduwa was not from Benin like you Benin people are saying either.Ewaka the son of Oranmiyan was the man who only had a Benin mother
Are you not ashamed of yourself? With this your writing you still fail to tell us here who is Oduduwa!
Who's Oduduwa's siblings
Who's are Oduduwa's parents?
Who are Oduduwa's Friends?
Yorubas have different versions of History. You people are so stupid by telling the whole world that Oduduwa fell from the sky.
The other day the Ooni said Oduduwa was from Arab. Up till now the yorubas refused to tell us the Origin of Oduduwa.
Now you are saying that Oduduwa only have one son mean while the yoruba Historians said Oduduwa was the father of Oromiyan. Just see the way you are fooling yourself
D only first class yoruba king known to history is d alafin of Oyo who happens to b d second son of oranmiyan while the oba of Benin is d first son of oranmiyan, d ooni is a priest assigned by d alafin of oyo to take care of oduduwa shrine in ife not to sit on oduduwa throne bcos he's not worthy to sit on it as he does not have d blue blood of oduduwa,,oranmiyan happens to b d heir to oduduwa throne while d oba of Benin is d heir to oranmiyan, oduduwa is d heir to ogiso throne in Benin ,,d throne in which d oba of Benin sits on,ogiso had only one son named oduduwa, oduduwa had 7 children out of which d first two are girls and oranmiyan is his third child and first son making him his heir according to tradition,,oranmiyan first gave birth to eweka in Benin before he went to Oyo ,therefore eweka is d first son of oranmiyan before oranmiyan gave birth to d second alafin of Oyo who is his second son,,,d Yorubas sees oduduwa as a God but the Edo's know he is not a God but the son of ogiso,,after oranmiyan left Benin he couldn't stay in ife bcos his father (oduduwa) was still alive nd he can not leave in the same palace with another king after sitting on d ogiso throne in Benin, so he left for Oyo and bcam d first alafin of Oyo,,upon d death of oduduwa he (oranmiyan)was called back to became d king but he declined on d ground dat he was already a king in Oyo and so he asked d slave priest(ooni) to take care of d shrine in ife,,upon d death of oranmiyan his second son was crowned d second alafin of Oyo and he also declined going back to ife on d ground dat d ife throne does not belong to him but belong to his fathers first son (Oba of Benin) who was already sitting on a more ancient throne in a more developed city (benin ),,and so d ooni lineage continued as keeper of d shrine but never sits on d oduduwa throne,,,,,,from dis little explanation I have to say d Oba of Benin is more higher and mightier dan any Yoruba king,,
Paul Philip To you Benin people, your Story may be right but to the Yoruba people your story is Wrong. The Ooni of Ife is far greater than the Oba of Benin, because it was from Ife they brought Obaship to Berlin and the thrown the Ooni of ife is sitting on top is the throne of the King of Ife and from Ife and it was the same thrown Oduduwa sät upon, the Yoruba people crowed the first Oba of Benin. Before the greatness of Benin Ife was great, the greatness of Benin started when Oranmiyan came to Benin with the Yoruba people not during the Ogiso era and not when Benin was called igodimigodo. Oranmiyan was an Ife prince not Benin prince, his mother was a Yoruba woman and he never had any relationship with Benin until he brought Obaship to Benin neither can he speak Benin language, he named Benin with Yoruba language and his son Eweka Was named with Yoruba words Owomika which was corrupted to Eweka. Before Oduduwa came to Ife there was Obatala and other Obas have also ruied Ile Ife. Oduduwa met the throne of Ife when he came to Ife, during the reign of Oduduwa, it was true that the Ooni was a preist, but Oduduwa himself gave him the right to sit on the throne he sät on, the Ife has been existing before the arrival of Oduduwa. The first Alafin of Oyo was not the second son of Oranmiyan, the first Alafin of Oyo was Oramiyan himself, so the first Oba of Benin was the son of Oranmiyan who founded Oyo, though Oranmiyan established the Oba thrown of Benin before he founded Oyo but There was Oba in Ile Ife before Benin. The Yoruba people know there history and they are not forcing it on any other tribe in Nigeria, the Yoruba people are only stating the facts. The Story of the Benin people has always been been unacceptable .by the Yoruba people ,Ife is far older than Benin as well.Oduduwa himself has no relationship with Benin according to the history of the Yoruba people. If the Benin people agreed that Oramiyan started Obaship in Benin and the Yoruba people changed the name of Benin with Yoruba, these two activities has proved the supremacy of the Ife people over Benin people without no doubt
@@RobbySyzing-mt4zo ooni of ife is not a direct blood line of oduduwa, but a child of a pregnant woman proposed for sacrifice, whose life was spared because of her pregnancy, the child she gave birth to later became ooni in charge of oduduwa shrine, but elevated to king by Awolowo for political reasons. Be guarded
@@paulphilip257 The Ooni you are talking about was the first governor of Africa Oba Adesoji Aderemi,that was the Ooni that existed during the era of Awolowo.The issue of the first Ooni was after the demise of Oduduwa,centuries back when Awolowo don't even know that he will come to this world or ever lived.It was true that the first Ooni has no blood relationship with Oduduwa and he was a preist but Oduduwa placed him on his throne because all his children has gone to create other kingdoms before he died,for example Oranmiyan went to create Oyo and he was the first Alafin and his family were war lords fighting wars up and down,the son of Alafin called Afonja founded Ilorin he was also a great war Lord too,Ondo was also created by one of the twins children of Alafin,the whole Oyo state was also from Oyo people,While Other children of Oduduwa also left to start creating kingdoms like Akure ,Ekiti,Elesha,Ijebu and so on.Even the first inhabitants of Lagos ,the Aworis also left from Ife to Lagos,they are the children of Olofin .The children were not in the palace when Oduduwa died.Ooni was so close to Oduduwa before he died because of his role as the chief priest of Ife,that was what resulted to why Ooni could be able to sit on the thrown of Oduduwa,since the children of Oduduwa decided to be independent .The Ooni was a preist before,that is true but he sat on the same throne of Oduduwa as a king when Oduduwa died up till this present moment.It is not all the Yoruba people that are the children of Oduduwa either because Oduduwa met the Yoruba people in Ife himself
Long live oba of Oduduwa
Yoruba People migrated from togo (⊙_⊙)？
That saying god of Edo is just a distraction.
He's a fool so annoying
The Oba of Benin is not correct concerning the issues of Oduduwa,Oranmiyan,Lagos and Dahomey,he manipulated the issues with wisdom to satisfy his selfish interest and the interest of his Benin people and that is not how a trust worthy leader should behave publicly,but am sure that he knows deep down that he can not deceive historians with his fake history.Oduduwa met the Yoruba people in Ile Ife,Ile means land in Yoruba while Ife means expanding,the land that is expanding is the meaning of Ile Ife,just like the Yoruba people named Benin with Yoruba language ILE IBINU which means land of vexation or anger.Before Oduduwa came to Ife sixteen Obas has ruled Ile Ife,the names of the sixteen kings were Obalufe,Obalaye,Obaloran,Orunto,Obalufon,Obadio,Elesije,Ejesi,Ejio together with seven others,there is always a leader in any good society or else there will be uncomfortable situation,Oduduwa was not the first Oba in Ile Ife.Oba has been in existence in Ile Ife before the arrival of Oduduwa.Oba is a Yoruba word for king.Ogiso dynasty has also been in Benin before Oramiyan came to established Oba a Yoruba system of leadership in Ile Ibinu now called Benin.The thrown of Ile Ife was empty before the arrival of Oduduwa ,the oracle predicted that the new king will soon arrived .When Oduduwa arrived he arrived with a crown in his head and prince do not wear crown,so the Benin people should stop saying he is their prince,the crown in the head of Oranmiyan has no similarity to Ogiso system either.If Oduduwa was from Benin Oranmiyan his son will not established the Yoruba system called Oba in Benin a place where Ogiso dynasty has already been established,If Oduduwa was the first Oba in Ife and he was from Benin the kings of Ife should be called Ogiso not Oba,Oba is the Yoruba language for king while Ogiso means king in Benin language.Oduduwa is not from Benin either.the mother of Oranmiyan was a Yoruba woman too.The Benin people never owned part of Lagos or Dahomey either.The Awori people were the first settlers in Lagos and they are the indigenous people and owner of Lagos right from the start,the Benin people only became part of the royalty of Lagos just like Oranmiyan a Yoruba man became part of the royalty of Benin,The Benin people were never landlords in Lagos,the whole Lagos belongs to the Yoruba people.The Benin empire was fenced round and the fence is within Benin,it does not extend to any part of Lagos or Dahomey,it is Yoruba land that extend to Dahomey,there are Yoruba speaking people in Ketu in Dahomey up till this present moment,there is no place in Dahomey where there are people speaking Benin language.The republic of Benin people are complete different people with different language and tradition,they have no relationship with the Benin of Nigeria.Benin people should stop twisting history to suit their interest.We studied history so we can not be fooled by the Benin people at all
And where did Oduduwa came from, he descended from sky which is the lies your historians told you people. You must be a fool to believe this
Instead of opening your mind to receive knowledge but you rather allowed ethnicity and quest for supremacy to blind your cognitive mind. I wonder how you manage your home. Internet troll. Yoruba Bigot.
Then why did the esi-darhomy adopt the name "Benin republic"?, why not Yoruba republic?. You Coward
This is just the problem of africans, especially we Nigerians. Yoruba is saying their own kingdom is the best blah blah... Edo man is saying his own. Abeg pls.. so, why are we going to succeed when even on the traditional level we cant coordinate ourselves.. it is a shame
logbene great penu Edo man is here Liking and loving is great 👍 culture and tradition but the Yorubas and all others are hating on us get the fact straight. Obaghatokpere Ise...✊🏿
This is very false, First of all, there is no such thing as “Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan” in Benin oral tradition. Neither was any oduduwa banished as collected by earlier benin writings ekaladerhan and oduduwa are completely different personalities
These are only present in Benin forged stories which were invented in the 1970s. I would clarify.
Historians, for example, name these forged stories [of “Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan”] as the Benin “deliberately unauthentic” stories.
Do historians regard these stories as forgery simply because they woke up on the wrong side of the bed feeling that way? Obviously not.
These [“Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan”] stories are found to be forgeries for the simple reason that much earlier documented Benin tradition debunks these stories.
For example, some eighty (80) years before these [“Izoduwa”, “Idoduwa”, “Imadoduwa”, or “Omonoyan”] stories were invented, Mr. Cyril Punch had documented the Benin tradition about Ekaladerhan.
Mr Cyril Punch’s documentation of the tradition about Ekaladerhan around the year 1889 (and quoted in Roth 1903) shows categorically that Ekaladerhan has absolutely nothing to do with Ife.
The beginning and ending of the Ekaladerhan episode from Mr Cyril Punch’s documentation as quoted in H. L. Roth, 1903, pp. 53-54. is as follows:
Ekaladerhan fled Benin due to a grave scandal; he then founded the kingdom of Ughoton; he ultimately reached a mutual solemn compromise with Benin, namely that:
His “independent sovereignty” is allowed at his new kingdom of Ughoton, the Binis eventually allowed him his independence at Ughoton - the only condition they gave was that he is not allowed to return to Benin.
Following this documentation of the Benin episode of Ekaladerhan (which shows both his independent sovereignty at Ughoton and his truce with Benin); Chief Egharevba also grew up to independently collect the same tradition about Ekaladerhan some fifty (50) years after Punch.
It took another 80+ years after Punch for some Binis(Omoregie 1970, Edebiri 1970, Akenzua 1971, and Iyare 1973) to to attempt a reversal of the already documented Benin episode of Ekaladerhan which the Oba being coronated in view now popularized
The first of these Bini equates Ekaladerhan as one and the same person with Oranmiyan. However, those who followed his lead thought it was better to equate him with Oduduwa instead.
The extant, classical and “official” Benin account is that Ife founded your Oba monarchy.
It wasn’t until the 1970s that some binis claimed that Ekalderhan is Oduduwa. The first of this said ekaladerhan was oranmiyan by chief omoregie then at the time of the coronation of the oba in view ekaladerhan was now oduduwa himself.
Even going by Benin sources (the earliest indigenous Benin sources on the subject for that matter), says the Ogiso chiefdom dynasty itself of “Benin” was sent from Ife to benin
Many years ago, Oduduwa of Ile-Ife sent a son - who took the title of Ogiso - with a large retinue from Ife to found a kingdom in this part of the world. ~ Chief Obakhavbaye of Benin, J. U. Egharevba, “A Short History of Benin,” (1936), p. 7.
Furthermore, Oduduwa(odu to da iwa.. The source or creator of being or wisdom) is a yoruba name with a meaning in the language. There's no record of any ekaladerhan in ife or anything indigenous benin in ife. Where oduduwa came from is very clear it was the hilly settlement of oke-ora near the ife bowl this is collected in ife oral history, instead we see a lot of yoruba-ife influences in the benin monarchy for example in the praise appellation of the oba for instance; ovbi adimula(son of adimula(a title of Oduduwa), Abieyuwa N’Ovbi Odua N’uhe
The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife), you don't see ekaladerhan or some izoduwa there.
Also the names of the past kings of benin which can't be broken down etymologically in bini i.e ewuare formerly prince OGUN then became ewuare(ewu-a-re.... trouble has ceased) ogidigan(o-gi-di-gan means it is very great or tough in yoruba) the bini dictionary itself is filled with a lot of words which are clearly referenced from the yoruba language. The ugie oduduwa festival celebrates oduduwa and oranmiyan and not ekaladerhan or ogiso owodo
Have you ask yourself the reason the came to ife for king you younger once are so clueless
@Mr Rapan Pass This guy, you're so obsessed and insecure. This is history written down academic. It's no dream. You literally have no evidence to all your claims apart from what's in your head. Are you literate at all? I don't do my papa pass you papa I give academic authentic written history
@Mr Rapan Pass Lol stop embarrassing yourself bro. Yorubas are not magicians we didn't write it. How can you survive academia if everything that you don't agree with in relation to benin yoruba relationship is written by yorubas. It's a childish and silly rebuttal
@Mr Rapan Pass You have mental problems. Obviously you have no good rebuttal so you have to resort to cheap baseless false attacks. Shows me you're really suffering from inferiority complex. I don't need to prove the greatness of ife and the yoruba. Your anger, frustration, and attacks when exposed to truth proves it. Keep crying dear😂😭
Why is it that oni of ife throne is not hereditary because the person that started the throne is not a yoruba man, why is it that there is no yoruba empire? The elaje, owo, ekale, they not yorubas by ancestry go and ask them
long live the king
long live the king
