IF OBA EWUARE IS SINCERE ENOUGH, WE THE EVIAN OGISO OGIAMIEN ROYAL FAMILY CHALLENG HIM TO A PUBLIC DEBATE. LAWYERS, HISTORIANS, FED GOV AND ALL STAKE HOLDERS,
Benin as a home is one, if you do not want to be part of Benin, nor be by force, the world is a large place. Nobody wants to hear all this divisive stories.
THE OBA OF BENIN, THE BTC AND THE EDO STATE GOV INSTITUTED 6 CASES AGAINST THE OGIAMIEN. OGIAMIEN WON 4 AND THEY WON ONE. WAIT FOR THE SUPREME COURT. WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNA WILL HAPPEN TO THE OBA.
@@Creepfans Ogiame means king of the water and it existed from the 15AD. Ogiamien means, we don't call Kings in Edo Oba but Ogie and it existed from the 11AD.
This, Memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty was enacted between Ogiamien Erebo and Oba Eweka I in 1170AD, formally adopted by Ogiamien Ode and Oba Ewedo in 1255 AD which all past Obas had complied with and re-enacted by Ogiamien Osarobo Okuonghae and Oba Erediauwa in 1979. Now as I talk to you here, Oba Erediauwa criminally used government machineries and instruments at his disposal to distort, corrupt virtually all the stanzas of The Memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty to favour Oba Eweka dynasty. First, without our knowledge, he criminally and secretly removed Ogiamien from the unique and distinct royal position of the custodian of the aborigine Binis and descendants of the 32 previous Ogisos that had ruled Igodomigodo to Uzama Nihon. Now, the Uzama Nihons ideally were chiefs under the past 32 Ogisos including Ogiso Erebo. Later, he criminally demoted Ogiamien further to Uzama Nibie and finally he now criminally put Ogiamien Stool under the Oba of Benin which are total violation (criminality) against the Ekiokpagha Treaty. He also criminally annexed Utantan and usurped the powers and functions of Ogiamien of Utantan. Oba Erediauwa was not satisfied with that he went further to criminally dis-father himself and turn around to say that his own great, great, great grand father that is the first Ooni of Ife is now his own son all these strategies are aimed at dispelling the unique and distinct royal position of The Great Ogiamien Royal Family apparently to save their eviction from Benin Kingdom in future by the Bini aborigines. This is the height of mischievousness and criminality hence I called the membership of the BTC especially Oba Erediauwa common criminals. Journalists: What do you mean by dis-fathering himself? Monday Wehere: Ok, I think it is a jargon. I learnt the jargon from I Go Die the Ace comedian who dis-fathered himself for the inability of his own father to train him. It means to deny your father. The Oduduwa empire came into existence about 4th Century AD while Bini empire came into being through Ogiso Igodo at about 9th century AD, meaning that the Oduduwa empire seniors the Bini Empire with about 500 solid years. Briefly, Oduduwa had Okanbi, and Okanbi had Orominyan while Orominyan had Eweka that is the direct father and lineage of the present Oba of Benin Kingdom, Oba Erediauwa. Oba Eweka is the great grand son of Oduduwa. This is not in dispute, but today Oba Erediauwa almost cunningly and criminally turned the history of the Binis and Yorubas upside down if not for the consistent efforts of the immediate past Ooni of Ife, late Oba Sijuade Okunade. Journalists: But if you look at the position of the Benin Monarch on this very Oduduwa issue, it some how convincing? Monday Wehere: There is nothing convincing there at all. Oyo Empire came into Being 4th Century AD, Bini Empire came into Being 9th century AD. Oyo Empire is older with 500 years. Ogiso Owodo who died without a son and a heir he Oba Erediauwa deceitfully said was the father of Ekaladerhan; he reigned and died at 11:30AD. So you are telling me that between 11:30AD to 12:00AD which is 70 years, Ekaladerhan left Bini to establish Ile-Ife, had Okanbi, Okanbi had Oromiyan and Oromiyan had Eweka all these within duration of 70 yearsHabaaaaa! What is convincing here. This is a hoax. Journalists: Okay, who is father of Oduduwa? Monday Wehere: This is where Oba Erediauwa got it wrong. Progenitors of major ethnic nations in the world are vicegerent to the Almighty God the Creator of the universe. They normally come with twin spirits that is why is always difficult to know their wives, you only hear of the founder but where he got his wife is another esoteric matter. So he Oba Erediauwa thought Oduduwa was an ordinary human being that is where he got it wrong. But Oba Erediauwa, as a renowned Mystic and Esotericist, I expected him to know this or may be he was trying to cash in on the gullibility of the majority? The progenitors of major ethnic nations such as the Igbos, Hausas, Binis, are usually avatars in the proper spiritual parlance. Just like Oduduwa nobody can trace the source of Ogiso Igodo, the progenitor of the Binis except God the creator of the universe. They normally come with twin spirits and from there begin to procreate. This aspect is esoteric not exoteric, which he knows too well. May be am going to far, see how you can understand the fraud in this issue. Lets say the fake Ekaladerhan was 25 years before he was banished and lets say he also spent 5 years wandering in the bush before establishing Ile-Ife that is 30 years. Then lets say he Ekaladerhan now Oduduwa had Okanbi at the age of 30 years and Okanbi had Oromiyan at the age of 30 years meaning 60 years and lets say Oromiyan had Eweka at the age of 30 years meaning 90 years and let’s say Eweka was 30 years old before he came to continue with the invasion where his father Orominyan stopped bringing a total of 120 years whereas the history he Oba Erediauwa gave on page 17 in his Birthday Programme titled Happy Birthday Celebration Iselogbe-Umogun dated 23rd June 2013 shows that Ogiso Owodo died at 11:30AD and Oba Eweka I forcefully took occupation of Benin Kingdom as the first Oba at 12:00AD, all these within a duration of 70 years, Habaaa!. So what is convincing here? Journalists: But, excuse me High Chief Wehere, where was Ogiamien all this while that a tenant Oba Eweka dynasty to use your own word relegated them to the background to the extent that the Ogiamien is not popular in Benin except recently?
The Ogiamien(Evian) was only a representative of Ogiso(Oba) dynasty bcos, Imadoduwa(Oduduwa) fled to Ife(Ile ife) during the reign of his Father Ogiso Ikaladeran becos, his stepmom Esagho the Evil woman persuaded and threatened the chiefs (bcos, she was having an afire with them) who went to the winch doctor to know the reason why the Ogiso could'nt have another children, but lie to tell him that he should banish he's son Imadoduwa and his mother from Igodomidodo(Benin) bcos, they'r the course of his problem, and Ogiso Ikaladeran did as his chiefs siad. then, After the death of Ikaladeran, then, the (Evian) was made to be as Ogiso till they find the real child of Ikaladeran, Imadoduwa to take over the Tron of his father bcos, (Evian) was a brother to the late Ikaladeran. but when they finally found Imadoduwa, he was already a King at Ile ife, then he sent his son Oromihan to become the new king in Igodomigodo, but (Evian) and his Children wanted to continue to rule as the King bcos, of their greed and the sweetness of power they have enjoyed. Oromihan came with a new tittle called Oba, or Oba dynasty but the Evian and his family said there's no tittle like that in Igodomigodo (Benin) but Ogie amien: meaning Ogiso is the only dynasty we recognize not Oba, that's where their name came about, Ogiamien. But the Oba Oromihan defeated them and took over the Tron but did'nt stay long in Igodomigodo bcos, he could'nt communicate with them but left a Child called Eweka to becomes the KING. and Oromihan said the Igodomigodo ppl r violent ppl, and he called them Ilebinu in yoruba: meaning angry ppl. and that's where the name came from (Benin/IleBinu became Benin). So, when ever a new King want to take over the Tron in Benin, they must fight with the head of Ogiamien's family just as a remembrance of history, and it's not even a real fight but fun fight to keep the history, and the Oba always wine the fight before seating on His Tron. but these stupid ppl wanna come up with some fake stories to see if they can gain some land to sell. hungry ppl. I am from Ilobi the village he said his mother came from. We the Edos knows our history, no greedy ppl can change it. the greed of their fathers have never departed from them. Fools
@@braitkhamadetokun8578 every body get story but at d end one must win.did u kno some of d titles are hereditary & are u now saying all d late chiefs decided to sell out? My bro,I don see too much for my place bcos pipo can do & say anything to get wot dey want especially wen it's a throne.
Thanks. The seed Evian and his second son Erabo= Ogiamien has germinated, that is why armed rubber Rich Arisco deprived Osarobo from his privilege. The good people of Ogiamien are scared of Arisco and his Cohort.
LISTEN TO YOUR SELF, YOU SAID THE OGIAMIEN WAS THE ONE THAT ALLOCATED THE LAND WHERE OBA MARKET IS BEEN BUILT, WHERE BY HE DOES'NT HAVE ANY MARKET OF HIS OWN, DOES THAT MEAN THE OGAMIEN WAS NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WISE ENOUGH? THE OGIAMIEN'S MAKE UNA GO SLEEP JARE... AIGU'OBA TAI'KPEN, AIGU'OBA TILE, AISIO'KUOBA.. OBA GHATO' KPERE ISE....
ANY SOCIETY WHERE YOU CAN'T ASK QUESTION WILL REMAIN BACKWARD. PROSTITUTION ,CULTISM AND STUPIDITY WILL PREVAIL. SO THE OBA OF BENIN AND HIS FAMILY WILL CONTINUE TO STEAL PEOPLES LANDS AND PROPERTY. NO WE ARE HERE TO FIGHT BACK
About one hundred villages in Benin Division have hereditary Chiefs (Enigie) who are descended from sons of the different Ogisos. The Ogisos used to send their sons out to rule over villages and they continued to owe homage and allegiance to each succeeding Ogiso as their father and overlord. After Ogiso Erebo had leased Benin Kingdom to Oba Eweka, Jacob Egharevba while confirming that Ogiso/Ogiamien Stool is far higher than that of the Oba of Benin, hear him, this system: was followed by the Obas descending from Oranmiyan in the second period So who is deceiving who in this context? I hope this would suffice further details. The Oba of Benin therefore cannot be higher than his landlord. The Ogiso/Ogiamien stool is far higher than that of the Oba of Benin. The renowned historian, H. Ling Roth in his book Great Benin Its customs, Art and Horrors and Naiwu Osahon supported Jacob Egharevba: among others three highest state counselors in great Benin appointed by the King for the government of the country They are the highest personages in the country next to the King, for above them there is nobody but the field marshal, who is nearest to the King. They are in command of a quarter of the town so every town or village is governed by a certain number of chiefs or nobles After dividing Bini into two, some of these established villages fell into the domain of Oba Eweka while some also fell into the domain of the Ogiamien Erebo. Both the Oba and the Ogiamien Erebo would need to have separate Traditional Council of Chiefs to assist them in the smooth administration of their respective Kingdom, so how can a tenant be higher than his landlord. It is fraudulent and deceitful to say that the tenant is higher than his landlord. Now, having said that let’s, come to the criminal aspect of the issue. See! We have not committed any crime rather they did. Oba Erediauwa, criminally used government machineries and instruments at their disposal to raise the stool of Oba of Benin Kingdom higher than that of the Great Ogiamien Royal Family and custodian of all descendants of the 32 previous Ogisos that had ruled Igodomigodo. Journalists: Could you please explain what you mean by the criminality against Oba Erediauwa? Monday Wehere: First, let us look at the meaning of a crime and thereafter we will also look at the meaning of a criminal, because I am going to use the word Criminal too much in this interview. The Websters Universal Dictionary & Thesaurus defines a Crime means a violation of the law, an offence against morality or the public welfare; wrong-doing; a shame, disappointment while it also defines a Criminal of the nature, or guilty of, a crime. a person who has committed a crime. Now lets look at the 8 stanzas of The Memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty, the traditional law which clearly defined the relationship between the Great Ogiamien Royal Family and the Oba of Benin, a permanent tenant in Benin Kingdom and thereafter compare it with the present realities to discover the criminality of Oba Erediauwa against the Bini aborigines and especially the Great Ogiamien Royal Family: 1 That Bini land, with Eki - Okpagha as the demarcation line was divided into two equal parts when the Ogiamien Erebo reportedly said, I sell half of this land to you putting soil into the locked palms of Oba Eweka I and himself, I do not sell the land to you finally. It shall be yours throughout your reign, but your children shall in future buy this land again from me in the same way you have done; 2 That Ogiamien's warriors and the Oba's warriors would not, during their traditional raids on markets confiscate either family's goods; 3 That certain thatch, called Ekhuerehi in Benin would be used in roofing all houses built on the Oba's half of Bini while Ebeni thatch would be used on houses on Ogiamien's half; 4 That the family of the Ogiamien and the Oba would not inter-marry; 5 That the Oba would pay to the Ogiamien as each of his succeeding sons would do in future the following purchase fees: four persons including a woman, a large drum, called the Okha an Ugiamwen, which was the equivalent of six shillings and six pence in British currency; a flute Orhu: a cow, an Ukhurhe staff, Agba and Ere; 6 That none of the Ogiamien's children can be used as Chief of the Oba and they cannot kneel down to greet the Oba of Benin; 7 That there should be cordial relationship between the Ogiamien of Utantan, Bini and the Oba of Benin Kingdom; 8 That the Oba of Benin will some time visit the Ogiamien in his palace through the door called Urho-Erivbin, in the palace of the Ogiamien. This door is never open for others; it is only used by the Oba of Benin Kingdom.
I AM STILL APPEALING TO THE PEOPLE OF IYEKE ORHIONMWON, URHUNMWODE, IKPOBA OKHA AND IYEKE OGBA TO AVAIL THEMSELVES WITH THE FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS ..BEFORE 1897, THE OBA OF BENIN HAD NO CONTROL OVER THESE TERRITORIES. HE IS DESTROYING OUR AGE LONG TRADITION. NO TRADITIONAL RULER IN NIGERIA CAN CREAT A ROYAL STOOL...IF HE WAS IN CHARGE OF THESE TERRITORIES, HE WOULD HAVE MOBILISE THESE TERRITORIES IN HIS DEFENCE. HE SAID. I AM A HOME LEOPARD. THE OIL WELLS IN THESE TERRITORIES IS WHAT HE IS INTERESTED IN. OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS TODAY MAKES A LARGER NUMBER OF THOSE TRYING TO CROSS THE MED SEA TO EUROPE. WE MUST STAND UP AND CONTROL OUR RESOURCES.
(8)That the Oba of Benin will some time visit the Ogiamien in his palace through the door called Urho-Erivbin, in the palace of the Ogiamien. This door is never open for others; it is only used by the Oba of Benin Kingdom. This stanza is the mother of all stanzas. The Urho-Erivbin is about 4ft (See Appendix D) height which compeled the Oba of Benin to bow down before the Ogiamien when entry the Ogiamien palace through this special door. This is one of the major headaches Oba Erediauwa had why he refused to visit Ogiamien Osarobo; therefore he allegedly arranged for his kidnapped and secret elimination. So, you can see that they have a lot to gain by sponsoring crisis in Ogiamien family so that they can circumvent the memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty. We have a lot to loose, they dont have any to loose. Dont forget, Ogiamien Osarobo at the age 13 years re-enacted the Ekiokpagha Treaty with the current incumbent Oba Erediauwa. We did not make things difficult for him then as a teenager is it now that Ogiamien Osarobo is fully grown up with a Masters degree in history and was preparing for a doctorate degree in the same history that will frustrate him. No, they are responsible for whatever may have happened to Ogiamien Osarobo. Arent you surprised that they are always saying that we should go and look for Ogiamien Osarobo. Is so funny, while we are confused as to the whereabouts of Ogiamien Osarobo, they are so confident that he is alive and are asking us every minute, every seconds, every hour and every day to go and look for him and bring him out where they have hid him. So at the appropriate time, we will take them up on Ogiamien Osarobo issue. Since we published the allegations in Ogiamien Trumpet that they are responsible for the disappearance or death of Ogiamien Osarobo, they have not replied us, rather they kept mentioning him in all their publications saying he is alive and that we should go and find him. Journalists: What is the matter really between Chief John Osamede Adun and your royal family? Monday Wehere: Nothing, my family has even contributed to his success in life. Journalists: Really, but he is always insulting your royal family in the news media calling your people all sorts of namesWhy? Monday Wehere: Yes! We are aware. He is being used and sponsored by the Benin Traditional Council to insult us. Dont mind that Animal called slave Bornboy alias Bob Izua. Journalists: Why did you call a whole palace chief, Chief John Osamede Adun animal Monday Wehere: I think the animal I just called him is even better. I am still searching for a better word to describe him next time he opens that his smelling mouth. You see the animal has no sixth sense, this is why the animal cannot create, think and do the things humans can do. The Animal Slave Bornboy dont have the sixth sense, otherwise he wont be doing… playing the slavery role and errand boy for the BTC why his business is collapsing; he can longer pay his staff salaries as and when due, all his best drivers have left to join other companies. The number of his vehicles are dwindling and worst of all, his son is running the business aground while he is busy doing errand boy for the BTC. This same Animal Bob Izua, when he had his first son, he could not even pay the hospital bill, it was my own elder brother late Monday Emokpae Ogiamien alias Stagali (Aboligi) who gave him N8, 000.00 to discharge his wife and his new born baby from the hospital. When he was a butcher selling meat, we all knew how he got that contract to supply meat to UBTH and the contributions made by one of our fathers. You need to see this Animal Slave Bornboy alias Bob Izua pushing truck then to deliver meats to UBTH, you see him smelling with drops of animal blood all over him. A well known litigant. He has more than 100 cases in the court, he has no shame. Look at the idiot calling his fore fathers slaves, the family that has made so much to build him in life. He should thank his God that my elder brother Late Stagali is not alive, that is his saving grace, so he can go on talking rubbish. I trust, Stagali would have bent his neck. Journalists: The same Chief John Osamede Adun accused Ogiamien Family of desecrating the stool of the Oba of Benin.
Deby, the same way Oranmiyan became the sixth Ooni and a direct son to Oduduwa who died 200 yrs before his birth. Deby, there is a case in court, avail yourself with the proceedings. Your Oba says that he only the owner of Benin since 1979.
Never GIVE UP as the battle will be warned one day. If not this generation, there will be a generation that will surely win the BATTLE. Kept the believe. Don't lose the history.
Which history? Do you know your history Mr Solomon Igbinoba! Ogiamien was Erebor. Evian was Ogiamien father. Ogiamien was the second son to Evian. These longer throat father and son was a caretaker in Benin Kingdom. Their arrogance lead the good people of Benin to search for Ikaladeran= Izoduwa = Ododuwa by the Ife people. Rich Arisco is Maternally related to the the Ogiamien. Mr Solomon Igbinoba can you enquire the where about of Osarobo from Arisco? Ogiamien family are not Descendant of Ogiso's dynasty.
When next you go to Benin sit with the Elders or young ones with good knowledge of the Benin Kingdom history. By the power of God and our ancestors your children will not be part of theswvabominable response to these enemies of Benin Kingdom Are you envious of Oba Ewuare 11?
@@Favour2020 I am in Benin city now and leaving in two days time. There won't be enough time to make enquiries. I will never be envious of my great Oba. God bless our OBA. Amen
My brother I watched the movie *INVASION 1897* By Oduwa imasuen on cinema and I have a copy of it on my drive,also I intend to save this Ogie-amien documentary. The treaty spoken of during the British invasion was for the Queen of England to extend Her protection to igodomigodo,of which oba ovboranmwen declined. that's by the way. Your documentary States that " Owodu had NO SON.." I ask, who then was Ekaladeran? Ekaladeran (Benin prince and heir to the throne) was the only son of Owodu(the last ogiso) who had lots of female children (okuku okuku n' aghimien vbe eguae Ogiso). Ekaladeran who was to be unjustly sacrificed for Ogiso to have more male children, was secretly set free by the executioners.(there is no dispute to the fact that Ekaladeran was not killed, igue (village)Ekaladeran still exit till date, a settlement founded by the executioners and hunters, who were reordered to carryout Ekaladeran execution, when the 1st failed. It was some years after Evian (owodu brother) victory over Osogan(the monster) That owodu was banished for misrule of the kingdom. Then the people appointed Evian as an ADMINISTRATOR OF THE GOVERNMENT. I.e" EDAYI" in Benin (a temporal office) and not AS OGISO (the king)...When Evian was stricken by old age he nominated his son OGIE-AMIEN as his successor. NOTE: it is good for All to note here that: kingship in igodomigodo is by heritage ,a first son inheritance.. EVIAN WAS NEVER IN THAT BLOODLINE. Evian decision lead to political anarchy and division. This was what lead to the search of the long banished or supposed executed prince Ekaladeran, the search ended at ife,where Ekaladeran was now a king in another nation(Yoruba). Ekaladeran couldn't returned to Benin ,because he was old and couldn't walk that far distance. instead he sent his son Oromiyan . I want to believe now that ,Evian may have played a back role to esagho(Ogiso wife) that Ekaladeran should be sacrifice ,for the king to have more male children... your documentary also States that, ogie-amien palace was not burnt during the British invasion and that ogie-amien palace received British recognition.. I guess there is more to the Invasion than we already know.
Oba Eware Ogidigan never said that they came from Ife. I watched the full video so many times, he said when Ogiso died, the binis asked their self exiled king (Ekaladeran) to come back and rule the kingdom”. Ekaladeran was the only son of the last ogiso but because he was to old then he sent his first son Oramiyan to come and rule the Bini. I just don’t know why that part of the video was edited. Sad
God bless you for this elaboration. These illiterate frustrated bastards are so confused . I didn't know where they got those falsified documents from.. Where are the EFCC. These guys must be a yahoo guys. OBASOGIE. OGIEISOBA.
What self exiled king?!?.What planet are you from?You ile ibinu people keep deceiving yourselves that BS fake Ekhaladeran story that was cooked up by Oba to cover your true origin. It is E..W..U..A..R..E not Eware..It is a Yoruba word..E..W..U..A..R..E..Meaning the Garment on his body is hard/tough...O..G..I..D..I..G..A..N..Prince Ogun(Yoruba) assumed this name when he subsequently became EWUARE 1

One Big question I want someone to give me the right answer is this, in Benin or as a Benin person there are different family’s which in line you know them by the greetings, why did other Benin family’s have to join with the OBA of Benin to war the Ogiamen family while trying to claim the throne?. If Ogiamen family are throughly the rightful family to sit on the throne, why did the other family’s of Benin fight with the Ogiamen?. Is it that they don’t want them on the throne or they knew the throne was not for Ogiamen family because they where ask to stand and watch over the throne before the rightful person come to take over and Ogiamen family want to rebel what is not there’s.
Mr peters, Do you know the meaning of a treaty? I will answer you if you know the meaning. Seconly if a treaty is valid from 1255 AD to 1979 it htne means that the treaty remains valid for eternity. thanks
Kingdom against kingdom Kings against Kings, the scripture Prophecy is coming to pass, end time is near, accept Jesus today as you Lord and Savior. Shalom brothers. John 3:16.
During the exile ,my great grandfather became the administrator of Benin kingdom, he was the iyase of Benin kingdom his name Obaseki ,he took over the affairs of the kingdom before oba Eweka 2 the crown Prince became the King of Benin.
My late father who was a palace chief to late oba akenzua and oba Erediawa told me that after the british conquered the bini and took Oba Ovoramen to calabar. The 3 benin prominet chieves like OLIHA, OGIEMIEN AND ONE OTHER CHIEF i cannot remember his name now AGREED that ogiamien should be the ACTING RULER OF BENIN UNTIL OBA OVORAMEN RETUND BACK. Unfortunately, Ovoramen died in Calabar and ogiamen REFUSED to give up the thrown. this led to a serious problem in benin. the benin believed that ovioba _orioba, ie only the son of the king can become a king in benin land. With time past the Rightful person was enthrowned as king in benin. Ogiamien family is NEVER A ROYAL FAMILY IN BENIN KINGDOM
Referring to Evian as a Prince of the Ogiso Royal Family, Dr. Williams Ogunlesi in his article titled The position of the Ogiamien in Benin Kingdom on p18 of the African Culture Magazine 1995 said while speaking on the Monster that killed many Binis in 1170AD: It was only a Prince from Ogiso Royal Family called Evian who was able to get rid of the monster called Osogan Naiwu Osahon, the renowned Bini historian in his book the correct history of Edo people on the internet while speaking on the dreaded monster also which swallowed many Binis during the reign of Ogiso Owodo noted: Every effort to tackle the monster, including spiritual means failed until Evian a member of the Ogiso Royal Family, succeeded in throwing a hot iron into the mouth of the monster Ekhaguosa Aisien in his small book: A History of Benin also speaking on the same matter, described Evian as CITIZEN EVIAN. Ogiso Owodo and his Chiefs were perplexed and helpless regarding the depredations of the Osogan until Citizen Evian came into the picture bringing the tools of his trade to bear on the problem All these are aimed at confirming that Evian was allowed to succeed Ogiso Owodo who died without a child for Evian to continue maintaining the blood grail. So, as at this time, the Binis had enough qualified human resources to run the affairs of Igodomigodo. Even when the Binis were faced with the most terrible situation in life when the Esogan Monster appeared and swallowed many Binis, the Binis did not send for a King from Ile-Ife to come and rescue them. Thus the Binis never sent for a King from Ile-Ife. This is a hoax. Oba Erediauwa criminally concocted this and some of the following other fake stories to justify and establish their stay in Benin Kingdom permanently. What actually happened was that the Oyo Empire during the reign of the 6th Ooni of Ife Oba Orominya came and invaded Bini and forcefully took occupation of Benin Kingdom via Ekiokpagha Treaty. Any other story different from this is a hoax and they were criminally concocted by Oba Erediauwa. The terms and conditions of the dreaded and memorable Ekiokpagha treaty suffice further details. The following were some of the fake concepts, stories, theories he Oba Erediauwa criminally manufactured to dispel the unique and distinct royal position of the Ogiamien Royal Family and the aborigine Binis and also in his attempt to distort the history of the Yoruba but failed: EKALADERHAN: That the supposedly banished Prince Ekaladerhan who was said to have set up a settlement camp he called 'Ilefe,' (meaning, successful escape) and later changed his name to 'Izoduwa,' (meaning I have chosen the path of prosperity). Izoduwa's new home, 'Ilefe' which was said to be in the heart of Yoruba land and because of his immense magic powers soon endeared himself to his Yoruba community which included some Uzebu (corrupted in Yoruba to Ijebu) who had followed him into exile from Igodomigodo, and were treating him as a god. The Yoruba corrupted his name Izoduwa to 'Oduduwa' and his camp, 'Ilefe' to 'Ile-Ife.' Oduduwa became the spiritual leader of the Ifa divinity. The yoruba (who call The Creator, Olodumare), saw Oduduwa as a direct descendant, which he claimed as a result of his God-son lineage, although his banishment link with the God-sons (Ogisos) was kept a secret from the Yoruba. In fact, the Yoruba believed he was a deity from the sky as he claimed and accorded him great reverence as their leading ancestor. This is nothing but a hoax. Another distorted version posted on the internet via Permalink by Otedo News Update sponsored by the Evil Genius Oba Erediauwa says that Ogiso Owodo had two sons, Ekaladerhan Izoduwa (Imadoduwa or Ode-Oduwa) and Eweka. According to this history contractor hired by Oba Erediauwa to do his biddings:
Absolute nonsense and I'm ijebu there's no connection to benin apart from some founders of certain towns following oranmiyan from ife to benin area and down south. Oranmiyan last I checked isn't the fake made up izoduwa or ekaladerhan so why the equation of oranmiyan to this made up ekaladerhan isn't it supposed to be Oduduwa and if oduduwa was self exiled how come you guys make up different people who followed a guy that was self exiled. The lies are getting too obvious. See a more rounded explanation below of the truth and lies
I will start with ekaladerhan/izoduwa fiction. It was never known to benin until 1970s when chief omoregie stated in a publication that ekaladerhan went to ife and became oranmiyan to the people of ife. Ekaladerhans story as written by benin historian egharevba earlier in 1930s and also collected in the 1890s stated he died in ughatan(I have proof for all this just ask me so you can read😁). Now that same ekaladerhan/izoduwa became oranmiyan and when oba erediauwa was to write his book, he wrote that ekaladerhan was now oduduwa father of oranmiyan. It was obvious that because of politics of superiority and uniqueness, what all have always known to be that ornamiyan from ife founded benin which egharevba wrote and which a lot of europeans collected from benin itself was subverted and changed in the 1970s. Now to Oduduwa. Oduduwa is absolutely not a corruption, you can't just make assertions that are untrue. Oduduwa means odu to da uwa (the source or repository of existence). Moreover in benin, ugie oduduwa is celebrated and known not ugie izoduwa or ugie ekaladerhan. According to oral tradiotons he's from oke ora Hill a settlement just outside of ife. He cane to ife and fought of obatala and united ife into a kingdom. No tradition in ife has oduduwa from mecca or from benin. The mecca hypothesis was as a result of sultan Bello of sokoto who gave middle eastern origins to a lot of ethnic groups around the river Niger. This was later attributed to oduduwa the patriarch of all yoruba kingdoms and ife kingdom and popularized in academia. Note that egyptian/middle eastern theories of origin for people and/ kings was also popular in ancient times for many african kingdoms and peoples, Benin was not also left out as egharevba had though the benin came from Egypt to ife also. Now, About the heaven hypothesis all heroes of ife at the time were deified as irunmoles who came from heaven. That can be said about the ogisos as well who came from heaven as well. It's a myth to honor them after death moreover all humans are from heaven(orun) in yoruba spirituality as well as other African spirituality. I'm sure all the other yoruba heroes and deities aren't from benin as well right? Exactly that's how poor that logic is. Traditions state his human existence (oduduwa) began at oke ora hill and then to ife where he wrestled power and united ife from a confederacy to one of the first kingdoms in the area and this system was later exported via many prince's and hunters when ife started expanding this includes the oranmiyan who was sent to restore order and found the new benin kingdom with the same monarchial system from ife into the area... The rest of the story is well known ile ubinu, eweka(owomika)
Sir, if 1979 is your own time, that means you know my Dad. Yes my father was there when Oba Erediawa was incoronated. I saw the Pictures of the Oba Erediawa coronation in Dad`s Album.
Rita I don't know your father. Visit the national commission for museums and monuments in Ring road and you will have a first hand info about the Ogiamien Ogiso and Oromiyan Eweka. The abboriginal people don't make love to thier sisters. This is the difference between Orhiomwon, Uhunmwode, Ikpoba Okha and Iyeke Ogba. from the Oba's Benin City of Ovia, Uselu, Ogbe and so. Oba Erediauwa said he came to straighten Benin tradition. Instead Erediauwa polluted our tradition by having the current Oba from his sister. The Current Oba, his son did same thing. He impregnated his sister. princess Imariabe Aghama Eweka.
Omonuwa let us be precise, Ijaws are claiming gelegele not Benin. Have you been to gelegele? firstly by Nigerian law the Oba of Benin has no right to creat any royal stool under him. I hope the governement is able to resolve that problem through negotiations. We Ogiso's are not interested in it. Ours is the supreme court.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA CAN FURNISH YOU WITH MORE INFOS ON BENIN KINGDOM. YOU HAVE THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON MUSEUMS AND MONUMENTS... JOHN HAPPY TO HEAR YOU ARE DOING YOUR THESIS ON BENIN GINGDOM. WATCH THE INVASION OF 1897 TAKE DOWN THE WHOLE NAMES YOU HEAR AND FIND OUT WHICH PART OF BENIN IS THAT. JOHN IYEKE ORHIONWMON IYEKE OGBA, ORHUMWODE AND IKPOBA OKHA ARE MISSING FROM THAT FILM. THE BENIN KINGDOM THE OBA IS CLAIMING TODAY DOES NOR EXIST IN FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS. YOU CAN BUY THE FEDERAL CUSTAMARY LAW REPORTS.. THE OGIAMIEN IS THE TRADITIONAL LANDLORD OF BENIN KINGDOM. THE EKIKPAGHA TREATY. WE ARE TALKING FEDERAL DOCUMENTS....IT WOULD TAKEN THE BRITISH YRS TO DEFEAT THE OBA OF BENIN IF WAS IN CONTROL OF THE PRESENT TERRITORY. JOHN IF THE HISTORY OF BENIN INVASION IS ONLY ABOUT THE OBA AND 5 CHIEFS, IT MEANS THAT IS HIS TERRITORY. ... MR JOHN ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE OBA OF BENIN IS PRAYING THE COURTS TO MAKE HIM SUPERIOR TO THE EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO SINCE 1979? THE EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO IS PLEADING THE COURT TO DECLARE HIM SUPERIOR AND THE LANDLORD OF BENIN SINCE 1255 AD. THE EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO WON AT THE HIGH COURT. HE WAS DELARED THE LESSOR AND LAND LORD OF BENIN KINGDOM. THE COURT OF APPEAL AFTER VIOLENC BY THE OBA DECLARED THE OBA SUPERIOR TO EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO SINCE 1979. JUST 1979? IS THAT POSSIBLE. HIS KINGDOM ENDED IN 1897.
facebook.com/jisichei lets talk on messenger I did a thesis that I am about to finish the white man brought lies on us. I am in no way disbelieving you I just wish to your source. the treaty was a farce initiated by the Europeans.
PLS TAKE NOTE WE DON'T HAVE KINGS IN NIGERIA...NO KINGDOM IN NIGERIA. NIGERIA IS A REPUBLIC. PLS TAKE NOTE AND VERY IT. THIS IS THE LAW... POLITICIANS ARE ONLY PLAYING GAMES ALLOWING CHIEFS TO BE CALLED KINGS. THEY ARE CLASSIED CHIEFTAINCY TITLES. 1ST CLASS, SECOND CLASS AND 3RD CLASS. MR SAMUEL OBASUYI OGIAMIEN WAS THE FIRST MAYOR BENIN CITY COUNCIL. THE OGIAMIEN'S TERRITORY WAS MORE DEVELOPED THAN THAT OF THE OBA...FROM 1255 AD TO 1979.. EVERY OBA OF BENIN PAID HOMAGE TO THE OGIAMIEN. VISIT THE PALACE IF YOU WANT... PLUS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA RECOGNISES THE OGIAMIEN ROYAL PALACE AS THE FIRST PALACE IN BENIN. IT IS THE OLDEST HOUSE IN NIGERIA. CAN'T WE BE PROUD OF THIS FIT? .EREDIAUWA INSTIGATED THE DISAPPEARANCE OF OSAROBO THE OGIAMIEN OF UTANTAN WHO CORONATED IN 1979. WE CAN'T FIND HIM. HE HAS BEEN EARNING THE SALARIES OF THE OGIAMIEN SINCE 1968 TILL DATE. WE WILL DEFEAT HIM. HE IS TALKING OF 1979, WE ARE TALKING FROM 1255. OGIAMIEN GHA TOR KPERE ISEE. GO TO THE UNIVERSITY THE LECTURERS TO AVAIL YOU WITH THE CUSTOMARY LAWS FOR BENIN.
mr john to tell you a dutchman atempted to assasinate any ogiso. the ogiso reign ended almost three hundered yrs before the white man came calling on the west african coast... I do not agree.
no movie alex, its a simple fact. from 1255 AD TILL 1979. EVERY OBA PAID HOMAGE TO THE OGIAMIEN. THE QUESTION IS WHY IS THE ALMIGHTY AND GREAT OBA OF BENIN ASKING THE COURT TO DECLARE HIM SUPERIOR TO THE OGIAMIEN OGISO SINCE 1979? OGIAMIEN OGISO IS ASKING THE COURT TO DECLARE DUPERIOR TO THE OBA OF BENIN SINCE 1255'AD? AS ENSHRINED IN THE FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS OF NIGERIA. THE FEDERAL GOV RECOGNISES THE OGIAMIEN OF UTANTAN BENIN AS THE TRADITIONAL LANDLORD AND THE DESCENDANT OF THE OGISO DYNASTY. YOU CAN BUY A COPY FROM THE COURT. THE FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS REGULATES ALL CHIEFTAINCY TITLES IN NIGERIA BASED ON THE PRE COLONIAL ARRANGEMENTS OF NIGERIA.
johnny sidney so u think this OG should be made king of benin? The current Oba is weird guy. That doesn’t have respect for any man. All these are stories no documents to support these OG claims
Gbam..There you have it all you ignorant ile ibinu oramiyan descendants SYDNEY has said it all..You ile ibinu Eheneden descendants and followers continue to pretend and deceive yourselves..The truth is out there and the World knew it before and knows it EVEN better now and the more you bring out stupid and spurious contradictory stories like your (Ekhaladeran lies)the more you ridicule yourselves and look even more stupid with your shameless INCESTUOUS AND PAEDOPHILE OBA who sleeps with his own daughter(VERY SICK MAN)and sleeps with under age..
NOTES ON THE MEMORABLE EKIOKPAGHA TREATY (1)That Bini land, with Eki - Okpagha as the demarcation line was divided into two equal parts when the Ogiamien Erebo reportedly said, I sell half of this land to you putting soil into the locked palms of Oba Eweka I and himself, I do not sell the land to you finally. It shall be yours throughout your reign, but your children shall in future buy this land again from me in the same way you have done; This stanza confirmed that Oba of Benin is a permanent tenant. It also shows that Oba of Benin is a foreigner in Bini. Again, it confirmed the division of Bini into two one part for Oba of Benin and the remaining part for Ogiamien dynasty and this they do not want the unsuspecting general public to know hence Oba Erediauwa has been warning dont divide Bini land. (2)That Ogiamien's warriors and the Oba's warriors would not, during their traditional raids on markets confiscate either family's goods; This stanza confirmed that there are two governments in Bini: Oba of Benin Kingdom in his territory while Ogiamien in charge of his own territory called Utantan-Bini. They are not comfortable with this too. (3)That certain thatch, called Ekhuerehi in Benin would be used in roofing all houses built on the Oba's half of Bini while Ebeni thatch would be used on houses on Ogiamien's half; Unfortunately civilization has destroyed this, if not, we should not be talking too much at this time. This is why Oba Erediauwa want to cash in on this to circumvent the Ekiokpagha Treaty. (4)That the family of the Ogiamien and the Oba would not inter-marry; Despite, we are not related; this stanza shows clearly the extent of the cold war. I, was instinctually told that Ogiamien Erebo took this decision because of the negative role the illegitimate, and illicit children (i.e Oba Eweka I and so many others) they secretly got through our daughters exhibited during the invasion. (5)That the Oba would pay to the Ogiamien as each of his succeeding sons would do in future the following purchase fees: four persons including a woman, a large drum, called the Okha an Ugiamwen, which was the equivalent of six shillings and six pence in British currency; a flute Orhu: a cow, an Ukhurhe staff, Agba and Ere; This stanza confirmed that Ogiamien will remain Obas lessor forever. That is Oba of Benin is a permanent tenant while the Ogiamien is the permanent landlord. Until this rent is paid, no Oba-Elect can be pronounced an Oba and will not be allowed to occupy the Benin Kingdom leased to them by Ogiamien Erebo. This stanza finally confirmed the status of the Oba of Benin in Bini. With this stanza, it is going to be difficult for Oba of Benin to claim Number One or to be more superior to the Ooni of Ife. This stanza clearly shows that the Oba of Benin is a descendant of the Ooni of Ife and not vice versa. So you can see their dilemma. (6)That none of the Ogiamien's children can be used as Chief of the Oba and they cannot kneel down to greet the Oba of Benin; This stanza speaks volumes in Africa culture. Here it is confirmed that the Ogiamien is far superior to the Oba of Benin. It means that the Ogiamien is Number One while the Oba of Benin is second and that the Oba of Benin is under the Ogiso/Ogiamien Royal Family. (7)That there should be cordial relationship between the Ogiamien of Utantan, Bini and the Oba of Benin Kingdom; All the past Oba of Benin Kingdom on their own tried to maintain this cordial relationship. That is why Ohen Evain (Ogiamien dynasty) is still in charge of Iyekoeogba. I was also instinctually told that before the coming of Oba Erediauwa, while Ogiamien was issuing permits for land in Utantan, the Oba of Benin was also at the Same time issuing permits and approval for land within his territory, but Oba Erediauwa discreetly usurped the power and function of Ogiamien of Utantan just to dispel the distinct and unique royal position of Ogiamien of Utantan.
currently many chiefs re out of land,no more business... show to us before the supreme court ur claims ..FYI ogieamien was Edayi,who refused to leave power ,when the rightful heir to the throne came..
Ogiamien was never a edayi but a son to Evian Ogiso the younger brother of Ogiso Owodo. The federal gov does not recognise the Oba as an Ogiso. Igbinudu do you know Benin city at all? By 1970 Benin City had under 1000 houses and the Oba's territory as spelt out in the Ekiokpagha treaty in 1255 Ad had only 10% of these houses. The Ogiamien territory had 90% of these houses. Watch the 1897 invasion you will understand what we are saying. anyway bro, we are here to educate people and the supreme court will take its decision.
PLS DON'T ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET BOUGHT A COPY OF THE HIGH COURT JUDGEMENT. OGIAMIEN VSBTC, EDO STATE AND THE OBA OF BENIN. ALSO AVAIL YOURSELF OF A COPY FROM THE COURT OF APPEAL JUDGEMENT. THIS IS THE BONE OF CONTENTIONS. THANKS.
Benin is the only ethnic group in Africa were they don't discriminate between themselves,i.e if you im a Benin man or woman, nobody will ask you where in Benin because we are all one family, this was the same reason why they have to stop the war with ogiamien. so are you trying to tell me that the Oba and his people were complete strangers?they spoke a different language? and the ogiamien allowed them to stay?.....
So you guys didn't remember when they sent Ododuwa out from the house of Ogiso, and he went to Ife, so when we the benis wanted Ododuwa to come and rule us, he said he was too old, that he cannot, he sent his elder son to come.
Thank God oba and people of Benin has finally been exposed with their lies that have been going on for years by cleaming that Oduduwa(ekaladehian) was their vanished prince, no wonther Oramiyan rename the land as land of vexation. I rest my case.
If oranmiyan is from Benin why will he come and corse his home land and go away ? The Truth is that the igodomigodo was hijacked and divided by yorubas with the help of the British people wake up people the your oba na Yoruba man
Oranmiyan did not even see his father Ogun Idekoseroake known as Okanbi who was the 3rd Olufe or Ooni Ife. How could they have met Oduduwa 😂 Lies won't help Ile Ibinu people o
OBA OVORANMWEN IN 1897 DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF IYEKE ORHIONMWON, UHUNMWODE, IKPOBA OKHA AND IYEKE OGBA. OBA EREDIAUWA DID SAME THING IN THE HISTORY OF BENIN HE SPONSORED. .. ANOTHER OUT STANDING SYMBOL OF THE TWO FORMER KINGDOMS. OLOKUN FOR OGIAMIEN AND SHANGO FOR THE OBA.
We the binis already know the truth on how Eheneden and his father Eradiauwa killed Osarobo Ogiamien in the ýear 2000 and now he is also trying to kill His royal majesty Ogiamien of benin kingdom again with his killer squad to assassinate him in his house, enough is a enough for all this nonsense stop parading yourself as oba of benin becous in benin kingdom the history told us that we only have one king His royal majesty Ogiamien not oba.
You know these are very old villages and communities. There are so many others Jacob Egharevba did not mention and this is why I said that all the villages and communities that had existed before the coming of Oba Eweka dynasty in Bini are the Bini aborigines. They have in addition too produced many other sub-villages and communities. The people concerned know them. These are the aborigine Binis and they have no relationship whatsoever with the Oba of Benin. Going to bow and worship the Oba of Benin is not only an aberration but a serious taboo. The implication is that these villages and communities still bowing and worshipping the Oba of Benin will not experience any growth, by continuously worshiping a foreign King. They will remain stagnant and until they take the bull by the horn and stop worshipping foreign King, like the Oba of Benin, they will remain where they are. Arent you surprised that Agbor, Sapele, Ughelli, Auchi, Ekpoma, Urhomi, Ubiaja etc of yesterday is more developed than all these villages and communities which are several years older, so they should wake up from their slumber and join the moving train, of the Great Ogiamien Royal Family. There are enough seats inside the train for those who have the courage to join us. Journalists: The Crowned Prince has started the initiation process and as of now He is now an Oba-Elect? Monday Wehere: Yes! You are right. Now he can be refereed to as the Oba of Benin-Elect. Journalists: But come oooo where is the Oba Erediauwa? Monday Wehere: Are you asking me. Go and ask the Animal Slave Bornboy alias Bob Izua. See! All those ceremonies the Crowned Prince is performing are just cosmetics. They are not part of the culture and traditions of the Ogiso dynasty. They gradually developed them with a view to circumvent the Ekiokpagha Treaty. They just introduced that culture to deceive the general public. The main thing is the Ekiokpagha Treaty. We are waiting for them. Although information reaching us is that the Animal Bob Izua has started boasting telling people that they will circumvent the Ekiokpagha Treaty, so lets watch and see how they will do this an event the aborigine Binis are earnestly waiting for. Journalists: What is the relevance of the Ekiokpagha Treaty in the coronation of the Oba of Benin? Monday Wehere: This is a very good question. The Ekiokpagha Treaty is the new rent an Oba-Elect MUST pay before he is pronounced an Oba and before he is allowed to occupy the territory that is the Benin Kingdom, Ogiamien Erebo leased to Oba Eweka I in 12:00AD. So they cannot circumvent it. If they do, the consequence is dead. Many Obas who tried to circumvent it died miserable death. Journalists: Have there been cases of people from the ethnic nationalities you mentioned in your last edition who have come to trace their ancestors to the Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty. Monday Wehere: Yes, there are so many of such cases. We have been receiving so many people and group of people who on their own traced their roots to Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty. Recently, the people of Onitsha Ugbo sent one Lincoln Ojeah to come and confirm how their root is linked to Ogiamien dynasty. According to them, information given to them by their fore fathers was that they migrated from Ogiamien dynasty. So they decided to send him to come and confirm the history and when he came we were able to trace their fore father to one of our Emokpae direct son who left Bini to establish their family at Onitsha Ugbo. (See Appendix F) of the photograph with our King Ogiamien Osemwengie JP with the emissary Lincoln Ojeah. Journalists: Wont there be conflicts between the Ogiamien family and the Oba of Benin in this matter? Monday Wehere: No! Not at all. I have explained this also in my last interview section. This is very simple! The time these ethnic groups i.e Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiris, Owans, Etsakos, Ogbas, Ekpeyes, Ikwerres, etc arrived where they found themselves today and what they heard from their fore fathers will tell you which of the Royal Families they belonged to in Bini. Those who left during the Pre-Exodus, the Main Exodus and Post Exodus are certainly our children. Oba Eweka dynasty started the imposition of leadership structures at about the late 14th Century, known as the Era of Imposition of Leadership Structures. It was not mass movement; it was a mere selective imposition. So it is easy to do the separation. We know the communities involved and the communities too also know them. They are very few few in the north, east and southern part of Bini, we have them on our finger tips. That is why they cannot lay authoritatively claim to the ownership of these ethnic groups but we can do so based on the foregoing analysis. For example, before Lincoln Ojeah came to Ogiamien family, he went to the Oba of Benin palace to make an enquiry. He was even told to go and bring a formal letter introducing himself and the subject but immediately they saw Emokpae as the progenitor of their root in his letter, the Oba of Benin palace became lukewarm and never showed interest any more in the matter and that was what led Lincoln Ojeah to come to us.
According to Benin archaeological history and traditions, thirty Ogiso (Kings and Rulers) ruled in Benin Kingdom before Ogiso Owodo. Ogiso Owodo had two sons, Ekaladerhan (Imadoduwa or Ode-Oduwa) and Eweka. Ogiso Owodo had two wives, Imade and Arhukho. Imade the senior wife gave birth to Eweka contrary to the earlier version that the mother of Eweka I was Erhinmwinde from Ego a daughter of the Enogie at the time. Arhukho was the mother of Ekaladerhan Izoduwa. Eweka being the legitimate son of Ogiso Owodo ascended the throne after the death of his father. Eweka was the senior brother to Ekaladerhan Izoduwa (Imadoduwa or Ode-Oduwa). Some argue that Ekaladerhan was born almost same time with Eweka, and that created a clash between him and the senior brother on whom should ascend the throne after the death of Ogiso Owodo. Others say, Ekaladerhan was born 2 hours before Eweka on the same day at different location but, the birth of Eweka was reported first to the palace and it was recorded thus without taking due cognizance of reasons given by Ekaladerhan mother on why the news bearer came late. That itself cannot be a justified reason why a formally reported birth will be cancelled because someone came later to say I was first but could not get to the palace on time or same day. This angered Ekaladerhan who could not bear to remain in a Kingdom where his younger brother has been made a king and he left. He was a great mystic. The two sons Eweka and Ekaladerhan were at longer heads. Ekaladerhan left Benin Kingdom with some followers to far south west to establish his Kingdom which he named Ilefe Now, this is completely false, it is a fiction. This theory was manufactured lately when Oba Erediauwa discovered the implication of the illegitimacy surrounding the birth of Oba Eweka I in which Orominyan allegedly pregnanted Princess Erhinmwinde without fulfilling the marriage customs and traditions of the Binis, so this was manufactured to make it look as if Oba Eweka I was a legitimate child of Ogiso Owodo. This is nothing but a hoax. As it is now, the Binis has no correct history. Binis history has been so distorted and corrupted by Oba Erediauwa in their favour to the detriment of the aborigines. The decision to manufacture this fake theory became necessary because of the perceived disrespectful attitude of some closed Bini aborigines to the Oba Eweka dynasty who are not happy and comfortable with the illegitimacy of Oba Eweka dynasty which makes them feel more superior being an aborigine Binis, than the Oba Eweka dynasty that was born through illicit sex and illegitimate marriage more especially as Orominyan had other children through legitimate marriage. To forestall any revolution against them in future by the aborigine Binis the need to manufacture this false theory became necessary; the focus is also aimed at dispelling the unique and distinct royal position of The Great Ogiamien Royal Family thus established their stay permanently in Bini. Besides, if you meet any elderly person between the ages of 70 and 80 in Bini, you will be shocked to hear that Ekaladerhan story was not included in the early history of Igodomigodo they were taught in the primary and secondary schools but that the theory of Ekaladerhan was introduced into Bini history in the early nineteenth century, the source they dont know but we are happy with Odia Ofeimun and his co-history contractors on the payroll of Oba of Benin for this wonderful revelation. As at that time Ogiso Erebo was shouting amien oba vbe edo ogie amien vbe edo, because it was really strange then to the aborigine Binis and none of the aborigine Bini corrected Ogiso Erebo then why is it that almost a thousand year thereafter, hungry hireling historians and history contractors on the pay roll of Oba Erediauwa started saying different story alleging that the theory “Oba which was strange and still remain strange to the aborigine Binis up till today was part of the Bini people from time immemorial? This is completely false and a hoax. OBAGODO THEORY: This was another fake theory concocted by Oba Erediauwa. According to Uwagboe Ogieva, one of the history contractors employed by Oba Erediauwa to destroy Bini History, in his attempt to change Red colour to Green colour on a day light, in his Book: Great Benin People And Civilization posted on the Internet by Otedo News Update said: That the word or title OBA has always been in use as a title for the king or ruler in Benin Kingdom. The 1st Ogiso was Igodo and was titled Oba Igodo or Obagodo, meaning the leader of Igodomigodo.
Erediawa changed the history and they we have problem for that in future, despite of them winning the supreme court judgement over the oborigin of ogiso land and oramiyan instruction.
JEZEBEL, THERE WAS NO EKALADERAN. ODUDUWA WAS NEVER IZODUWA. THE IGODOMIGODO PEOPLE HAD NO RAPPORT WITH IFE UNTILL OROMIYAN INVADED BENIN. OROMIYAN IS GRANDSON TO ODUDUWA. NOBODY IN IFE CAN CONFIRM THE STORIES OF THE OBA. ODUDUWA HAD ONE SON AND HE WAS DEAD BEFORE OROMIYAN INVADED BENIN. 950 YRS AGO IT WOULD TAKEN EKALADERAN 20 YRS TO MOVE FROM BENIN AND CONQUERE IFE. THE DISTANC, THE LANGUAGE, THE WILD FOREST..... HISTORY HAS IT THAT OROMIYAN REIGNED AROUND 1300 AD 100 YRS BEFORE THE PORTUGUES ARRIVAL. ITS EASY TO UNDERSTAND BENIN HISTORY FROM THAT TIME.
ALVIN, I AM NOT A YORUBA MAN. I AM OGIAMIEN.. PLS FOLLOW OUR ARGUEMENTS WITH SENSIBILITY. WE HAVE TWO JUDGEMENTS FROM THE COURTS. THE BONE OF CONTENTION IS BEEN DIVERTED BY THE OBA. THANKS
Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife The Oba of Benin Oba Ewuare II on Saturday visited the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II in Ile-Ife, Osun State. The Ooni received the revered monarch at his Enuwa Palace in Ile-Ife. Both traditional rulers also paid a courtesy visit to Governor Rauf Aregbesola. Oba Ewuare II’s visit marks the first time in 37 years that an Oba of Benin is visiting Ile-Ife. Prior to Saturday’s visit, Oba Ereduiwa’s visit in 1981 was the last visit by an Oba of Benin to Ile-Ife. Oba Ewuare II is expected to visit some significant places including the Oranmiyan groove. The renowned author of A Short History of Benin, Jacob Egharevba on p9 recalled: At his death, Eweka The First, the oba of benin left a strong order that his remains must be taken to Ife to be buried with his father and this order was carried out accordingly. Since then the remains of the Oba of Benin were taken to Ife This directive which speaks volumes in African Culture, confirms that Oba Eweka dynasty migrated from ileife. Another great historian Professor P. A. Igbafe, speaking on the Ekiokpagha Treaty which divided Igodomigodo into two in his book, Benin Under Colonial Administration said what we normally call the historian supreme court verdict on the supremacy between the Great Ogiamien Royal Family and the Oba Eweka Dynasty. Hear him: 'The belief that land belongs to the Oba is a mistaken conception of the theory of Benin land tenure. In reality It is difficult to see how they could make such claims vis-à-vis the customary presents which each Oba sent to the Ogiame (sic) on occasion in acknowledgement of the permission granted to the founder of the present dynasty to settle on a foreign soil. The word foreign soil there speaks volumes. This is one of the the reasons Oba square ll went to visit the current ooni of I've to reunite with his original source. This again confirmed that Owodo had no child and that the theory of Ekaladerhan is actually a hogwash to cover up their invasion and establish their stay in Bini. The immediate past Ooni of Ife, Late Oba Okunade Sijuade also confirmed this in an interview with the Daily Sun Newspaper Tuesday May 4th 2004 on page 10: Since Oranmiya dynasty started in Benin, all the heads of the Obas on demise were buried in Ife in a sacred place called Orun-Oba-Ado up till the year 1900. Records in the archives made it clear that since 1191AD, the Ooni of Ife had to be informed and clearance must be given by him on the new Oba of Benin to be installed up to 1916 That is the orominya groove Oba ewuare ll went to inspect. To me I commend his bold steps. I pray that the visit will open up many hidden secrets to him and will help him to know the true relationship between the oba eweka dynasty and the indigenous people of igodomigodo on one hand and the great Ogiamien Royal family on the other hand.
This people are Criminals ,why cant them start from Ikaladerhan ,let them tell us how Ikaladerhan left Bini and who was him if they really want to tell us history, this is just rubish .i sorry for people that believe this forged story .
I GUOTE OBA OVORANMWEN, I AM A HOME LEOPARD AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE. IF HE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE KINGDOM HE IS CLAIMING TODAY, HE WOULD MOVED FROM HIS PALACE TO A SECRET LOCATION AND REORGANISE HIMSELF. HE NEVER MENTIONE IYEKE ORHIONMWON, URHUNMWODE, IKPOBA OKHA LGA'S AND IYEKE OGBA AS THE FILM LASTED. YET THESE WERE AND ARE STILL THE MOST DEVELOPED PARTS OF BENIN CITY. OBA OSHI OF BENIN.
CONGRATULATIONS OGIAMIEN RICH ARISCO: The king of Aborigine Binis, the king holding the blood grail of Ogiso Igodo, the founder of Igodomigodo now known as Utantan/Benin, His Imperial Majesty, Rich Arisco Osemwengie JP, the Ogiamien of Utantan Kingdom, Utantan City, Edo State, who has come to liberate the Aborigine Binis, and the Great Ogiamien Royal Family from the oppression and slavery imposed on them by the Benin Traditional Council, that migrated from Ile-Ife, l say congratulations your Imperial Majesty on your birthday. HC MONDAY WEHERE JP
Ogiamen family is still maintaining bthe rule of second son. The first son is always the Uzama and the last son is always the Oliha. So Uzama disagrees with king and oliha crowns. Oliha also installs Uzama Utantan.
You are getting the narratives wrong. There is no title like the Uzama of Utantan. What we have is the Ogiamien of Utantan replacing the Ogiso of Igodomigodo and the Uzama is the ohen Evian Ni Iyeke Ogba.
It was the Portuguese was really problem in beninis kingdom already establish under Portuguese colonial before the evil British force invaded Benin kingdom because of palm oil resources trees but today Benin has been put under a fulanis military corrupt establishment criminal organization postitution element of so call one Nigeria may God almighty containue to bless Edo kingdom amen
He is missing suspected dead . it is believed by some people who want the Ogiamien throne vacant. So the fact that the Ogiamien is the Obas lessor ( Landlord) hidden. That's y these people are raking this step to set Benin history straight
Having seriously consider this video as an historian myself, I think a huge chunk of Benin History has been distorted by these 4 gentlemen. Though there may be disagreement between the Oba of Benin and the Ogiamen family, but when trying to correct the wrong that may have occurred from any quarter don't use distortions to buttress your claims. These are the distortions: 1, Ikhaladeran was a son of one of the Ogiso who allegedly changed his name to Idoduwa to hide his Identity from those who wanted him dead in Igodomigodo and later founded Ile Ife 2. These 4 gentleman did not mention the interregnum in Igodomigodo that led to the search of Ikhaladeran, that was the link between Ile Ife and Igodomigodo before it was named by Oromiyan as Ile Ibinu 👉 the land of vexation The 4 gentleman did not tell us how Oba Eweka defeated Ogiamen in a battle that finally sent the last remnants (regents who ruled Igodomigodo during the interregnum) of the Ogiso dynasty within Igodomigodo out of the corridors of power. 4. Those documents they tender are now ceremonial and that does not give them rights to rule over Benin kingdom, I do not see any sane Benin person in this millennium that will switch their allegiance from the Oba of Benin to the Ogiamen family. Why didn't the Ogiamen correct this claim 700 years ago? Why are they saying this now in 2018? These are the critical questions you should be asking them. ***Please note, I am just correcting the errors that I have identified here, no ill feelings intended.
Frank that is your thinking. We are the Ogiso's and so if There was a Ekaladeran we should know batter than the Oba and yourself. The fact that you people can dispute the birth of Oromiyan with the yorubas shpuld tell you something is missing... Can you defeat a man and run away? Oromiyan ran away... Ewedo could't have won a war and became submissive in the treaty... lets wait for the supreme court. You don't know Benin..... The Invasion will tell you the Benin of the of Benin. watch it. Your statements here is contrary to the OBa's claims. He said since 1979,,,
talk2me9ja I don't want to assume anything, please could you tell me where and how the name Benin or Benin Kingdom originated from? What is Ibinu in Yoruba language? It means vex or Angry.
talk2me9ja Many events and activities of history are very difficult to correct or control after many centuries. The Romans for instance once dominated Britain and left their architecture and defendants there. At the time Jesus' parents took political asylum in Egypt, the Pharoah Egypt was a black man, the same way these four chiefs who claim to know the history of Benin Kingdom more that their ancestors who submitted to the political and religious dominance of the Oba of Benin many centuries ago are here trying to distort the history of Benin Kingdom. These men would have been executed for treason 150yrs ago when Benin Kingdom was absolute monarch without interference from Britain or Abuja. They can't change history, it's too late.
talk2me9ja. go to the court and ask them why ogiamien defeated the Oba at the high court. what makes you intellingent when you dabble into a case you have no minimum idea about. go and see the papers your oba filed before talking.
mrc frank, you are a quack historian. show me how the Ogiamien territory got connections with the invasion of Benin? You don't even know the what your Oba is claiming.
OSASUYI I HOPE YOU DON'T WANT THE CURSE OF OGISO OGIAMIEN EREBOR AND OBA EWEDO TO STRIKE YOU LIKE EREDIAUWA AND EWUARE. THEY ARE CONDEMED TO HAVING SEX WITH THIER FAMILIES FOR VIOLATING THE EKIOKPAGHA TREATY.
@@nekpenikponwenosa7565 And why are taling about jesus who died 2000 yrs ago? If you have no constructive comment, look the other way. History is our strenght it is a global perception.
This oba of Benin can lie oduduwa dead meany years ago before the birth of oromihan. Oromihan was the 6th oni of ife and the great grandson of oduduwa. How who now come take meet oduduwa when done die 200years ago and how oduduwa come take give who now oromihan.this Benin people where the only tribe in igodomigodo land that accepted oromihan and his juju he brought from ife and they also took oath that there children unborn and generation's will remain slaves to oromihan dynasty.there is a parable in Benin that says a slave can never be king so they should tell us who are the slaves and who are the kings family. They also introduce greetings to differentiate their families from the slaves. This Benin people are slaves and always worship there oppressors they will always be slaves to the oba because of the oath their great grandfathers have taken. They know the truth but they are scared to say it because there parents belong to all the secret cult group brought by the family of the oba of Benin they will rather remain slaves...
Interesting story life, but I ask if the present day Binis are truly from Ife or tenants like you just said, so why are they speaking your language? I believe they should be speaking Yoruba, Yes nobody is disputing your office as the Ogieamen of Utantan, because history has it that you were just given the office (caretaker) which I see as a form of compensation Then we Oromiyon came then he has to leave Because you can't tell me a foreigner came to your land and your people accepted him and started helping him fight their father, meh that's a big lie naa
TELL US WHY OGISO DIED EARLY? BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING TELL ME ABOUT IYEKE ORHIONMWON, IYEKE OGBA, IKPOBA OKHA AND UHUNMWODE?... THESE ARE THE OGISO'S... SHAME UNTO YOU MY BRO. HOW CAN YOU BELEIEV THE HISTORY BENIN WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE?
PLEASE DON'T BELEIEV WHAT YOU ARE HEARING OR SEEING HERE. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA IS A REFEREE.... THERE WAS NO EDO STATE WHEN NIGERIA WAS FOUNDED.IGBINUDU MY BRO, HE DID A SIMILAR THING TO THE OBI OF OWA AGBOR. THE ACIENT TOWN KING OR CHIEF, HE DID SAMETHING TO THE OKUMAGBA FAMILY IN WARRI. IT ALL FAILD......WE ARE NOT FIGHTING HIM. WE ARE SAYING HE CAN'T TAKE OVER OUR FATHER'S TITLE IN 1979. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE 1897.
History is always your identity and that of your future children. I don't know why these men are changing their history and identity. Avian the father ogiame who was choosing as administrator to lead the people during search for ikaladaran and when he passed away ogiame his son wanted to replace his father but the Benin chief said no because you're not having blue blood and cannot become a king. The regression science saw oranmiyan as grand son of Owodo son of ekaladatan the exile Prince who became the ooni of ife.
You should read, listen and think before you make any statement. Oduduwa was 300 yrs older than Oranmiyan, can't you see your Oba is hiding something from you. Evian not Avian was the younger brother of Ogiso Owodo. Its unfortunate most of you have no capacity read well and write welll
WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT SOKPONBA MEANS AND ITS A ROAD SITUATED WHERE THE OGIAMIEN'S PALACE IS BEEN BUILT, SO HOW COME? PLS MAKE IT CLEAR TO US THANK YOU.....
The Road Sakponba was called Utantan road in senglish meaning Broad Road or street. It was changed to Sakponba in 1941. The oba of Benin is a foreigner a Yoruba man whose ancestors invaded Benin and began to administer oath of allegiance on the natives in the section they conquered.
Journalists: Lets come back to the memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty especially the stanza which place death penalty on any of the defaulter, now has there been any defaulter. Monday Wehere: On our part, we have not defaulted. But on their part they have tried and they always die. In fact they have not actually enjoyed that seat. Dont worry I will do a story on what and what they have suffered since they forcefully took the Ogiso Ark from Ogiamien Ode in exchange of the Ekiokpagha Treaty in 1255AD. But to answer your question directly, that stanza: A sanction of death penalty was placed for anyone that violates any part of this Treaty. Shows that Oba Eweka dynasty has no relationship whatsoever with the aborigine Binis. How can a man who came to ascend his ancestral throne be made to sign a death warrant that if he violates the terms and conditions of Ekiokpagha Treaty, he will die. It means he is a stranger, and foreigner. This is why Oba Erediauwa is trying to do everything human possible to circumvent it but they will not succeed because the present descendants of the Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty are more serious, educated, wealthy, exposed, experienced and ready to die to protect their fathers name. They have mapped out evil strategies against us during the coronation of the new Oba of Benin. They have concluded plans to kill some of the dramatis personae on our side such as our King His Imperial Majesty Rich Arisco Osemwengie JP, the Ogiamien of Utantan-Bini, the King of the entire Abogirine Binis; HRM Joseph Amiengbivie Uzama Ohen Evian; HRH Patrick Oliha-Oliha Ogiamien, Prof. Tony Ogiamien Founder/President, American Heritage Southern University, California, Teddy G. Ogiamien President, Evian/Ogiamien Reunion World, and my good self High Chief Esotericist Monday JP, PEIC, Ogiamien Trumpet and Consultant, Evian Renaissance Movement. We have told our children of these satanic plans against us and we have also told them what to do in the event that they carry out their satanic plans against us. Journalists: What of his assertions that the word Oba is indigenous to Benin? Monday Wehere: But I have refuted this on this interview earlier. However, this is completely false too. The word Oba is indigenous to the Yoruba. Because it is a strange concept to the Binis, when Ogiso Erebo started shouting amien oba vbe edo, Ogie amine vbe edo and because it was really strange and news worthy in 12th century AD ago, it took over the Ogiso title hence Ogiamien. This was one of the theories they also manufactured to cover up their invasion which they called OBAGODO. I have already spoken more on this. So Esogan lied and I continue to wonder why people of that age are lying over things that they cannot back up with facts. Journalists: But they promised to show the Yorubas the landmarks which confirm that the Ooni of Ife is the son of the fake Ekaladerhan the son of the 31st Ogiso of Igodomigodo? Monday Wehere: Dont mind them they dont have any land mark in fact the Yorubas even have more landmarks to show to them. Referring to Late Oba Aderemi Adesoji, the then Ooni of Ife who first classified the Yoruba Monarchs, Alake of Egbaland said in the Guardian of Tuesday March 15th 2016: The then Ooni of Ife did, at the Central Native Council meeting which was chaired by the Governor-General, His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, MD, RCMG, CR at Government House, Lagos in 1937. Those in attendance included the Ooni of Ife, Alafin of Oyo, Oba of Benin, Alake of Abeokuta, and Awujale of Ijebu-Ode This meeting was arranged by the then Ooni of Ife. Oba Akenzua II the father of Oba Erediauwa who was in attendance did not raise any objection when he was classified as No. 3 If they are sincere and honest in their claims, why did Oba Eweka not take on the title of Ogiso Eweka instead of Oba Eweka and why did Oba Eweka beg that his corpse be taken to Ife-Ife to be buried with his father. You know what that means in Africa culture. Journalists: Who are the aborigines Binis because we felt it is going to be very difficult to identify who is an aborigine Bini? Monday Wehere: See! That is one of the evils Oba Erediauwa did to the aborigine Binis. He deliberately created the scenario where it will be difficult to identify who are the aborigine Binis to save their eviction from Benin Kingdom in future. But despite his devilish intention, we know ourselves. We know the Bini aborigines. See! Even in the United States of America, India, Britain, France, there are still the aborigines. They know themselves. In the case of Bini, historically, let us take the descendants of those villages, communities Jacob Egharevba referred to as the aborigines and these villages according to Jacob Egharevba which existed before the coming of the Oba Eweka dynasty are: Ihimwirin, Avbiama, Oka, Idogbo, Utesi, Ogua, Urhoho, Ute, Esi, Eyaen, Aho, Irighon, Azagba, Igo, Egbator, Ughoton, Udo, Esi, Okha, Umoghumwun, Orogho, Uhen, Okenuhen (Okeluse), Okhumwun, Ikoha, Use, Ego, Ekho, Ebue, Irokhin, Udeni, Erua, ugha, Orhua, Urhuekpen, Amagba, Ugbeu, Evbuekoi, Ekhua, Ogan, Isua, Uhi, Ekae, Uzeghudu, Iyowa, Omin, Ikoka, Iyekeze, Ogba, Ogbokhirima, Okuo, Owe, Ominara, Unuame, Ugolo, Ikpako, Uhogua, Ayen, Orio, Uwan, Egbaen, Idumwonwina, Ohovbe, Ogheghe, Uvbe, Ite, Iguobe and Izikhiri
monday wehere am confused and willing to learn, my question is : If u say Oba Erediawa concocted the story of ekaladeran how come my grand father who is 98 years now never told us a different story ? He is from izikhiri too and how come there is no significant difference between the aboriginal bini n the new binis? Who also told them your history such that they could combine urs with theirs so well ? Please enlighten me
Journalists: Your people are not comfortable with the governor of Edo state, they are alleging that he is supporting Oba of Benin to suppress and oppress your family? Monday Wehere: Yes! We are not comfortable. The painful aspect of the drama is that the governor of Edo state, Gov. Adams Oshiomhole is our son. His fore fathers are our children the direct descendants of the Ogiso dynasty who left Bini during the invasion to establish what is today known as the Etsako the birth place of Gov. Adams Oshiomhole. But just because of political reasons, he Adams Oshiomhole is now supporting the invaders, foreigners to kill, suppress and oppress his blood brethren. That is the negative side of powers. Journalists: Do you think he is aware of this secret that he is the descendant of the aborigine Binis? Monday Wehere: Initially, he did not know, but as of now, he is fully aware of his relationship with us. That is why he is somehow very careful on the matter. The truth is that he has gone too far with the Oba of Benin. They are in the same political party. They should be praying that APC wins the governorship election otherwise..hymmmm I just de laugh for one corner according to former President OBJ. Journalists: Finally, what is your reactions to the two page advertorial in the Vanguard of 2nd March 2016 authored by one Odia Ofeimun and the interview granted to the New Telegraph of 4th March 2016 where Chief John Osamede insulted and accused Ogiamien Family of fomenting crisis in Benin. Monday Wehere: All what I have been saying since are in respect of the two publications you just mentioned. I have virtually reacted to all the contents of those publications, except there are some specific areas you want me to talk about then you can draw my attention to those areas. If they want us to stop exposing and ridiculing them then they should stop talking but if they do, we will certainly react#
THE OBA OF BENIN IS NOT A KING, THE OGIAMIEN OF UTANTAN IS NOT A KING. THEY ARE FIRST CLASS CHIEFS. SINCE MOST PEOPLE FROM BENIN TEND TO BELIEVE OBA EREDIUWA MAMAPUT STORIES.

@Eleduma..They did not know what Erediuwa did earlier because all along they thought things were the way they should be and soon as the truth came out they started fighting which is the right thing to do. It seems to me you are Yoruba and if you are then good because you will be able to explain to this awon Omo Ile ibinu that are denying their Yoruba ancestry now claiming the Yorubas and Oduduwa migrated from them..This is the name of their present Oba..OMO OBA NI LE ADO OBA E..W..U..A..R..E.

Ogiamen the landlord of Benin City. Ogiso dynasty
This, Memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty was enacted between Ogiamien Erebo and Oba Eweka I in 1170AD, formally adopted by Ogiamien Ode and Oba Ewedo in 1255 AD which all past Obas had complied with and re-enacted by Ogiamien Osarobo Okuonghae and Oba Erediauwa in 1979.
Now as I talk to you here, Oba Erediauwa criminally used government machineries and instruments at his disposal to distort, corrupt virtually all the stanzas of The Memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty to favour Oba Eweka dynasty. First, without our knowledge, he criminally and secretly removed Ogiamien from the unique and distinct royal position of the custodian of the aborigine Binis and descendants of the 32 previous Ogisos that had ruled Igodomigodo to Uzama Nihon. Now, the Uzama Nihons ideally were chiefs under the past 32 Ogisos including Ogiso Erebo. Later, he criminally demoted Ogiamien further to Uzama Nibie and finally he now criminally put Ogiamien Stool under the Oba of Benin which are total violation (criminality) against the Ekiokpagha Treaty. He also criminally annexed Utantan and usurped the powers and functions of Ogiamien of Utantan. Oba Erediauwa was not satisfied with that he went further to criminally dis-father himself and turn around to say that his own great, great, great grand father that is the first Ooni of Ife is now his own son all these strategies are aimed at dispelling the unique and distinct royal position of The Great Ogiamien Royal Family apparently to save their eviction from Benin Kingdom in future by the Bini aborigines. This is the height of mischievousness and criminality hence I called the membership of the BTC especially Oba Erediauwa common criminals.
Journalists: What do you mean by dis-fathering himself?
Monday Wehere: Ok, I think it is a jargon. I learnt the jargon from I Go Die the Ace comedian who dis-fathered himself for the inability of his own father to train him. It means to deny your father. The Oduduwa empire came into existence about 4th Century AD while Bini empire came into being through Ogiso Igodo at about 9th century AD, meaning that the Oduduwa empire seniors the Bini Empire with about 500 solid years. Briefly, Oduduwa had Okanbi, and Okanbi had Orominyan while Orominyan had Eweka that is the direct father and lineage of the present Oba of Benin Kingdom, Oba Erediauwa. Oba Eweka is the great grand son of Oduduwa. This is not in dispute, but today Oba Erediauwa almost cunningly and criminally turned the history of the Binis and Yorubas upside down if not for the consistent efforts of the immediate past Ooni of Ife, late Oba Sijuade Okunade.
Journalists: But if you look at the position of the Benin Monarch on this very Oduduwa issue, it some how convincing?
Monday Wehere: There is nothing convincing there at all. Oyo Empire came into Being 4th Century AD, Bini Empire came into Being 9th century AD. Oyo Empire is older with 500 years. Ogiso Owodo who died without a son and a heir he Oba Erediauwa deceitfully said was the father of Ekaladerhan; he reigned and died at 11:30AD. So you are telling me that between 11:30AD to 12:00AD which is 70 years, Ekaladerhan left Bini to establish Ile-Ife, had Okanbi, Okanbi had Oromiyan and Oromiyan had Eweka all these within duration of 70 yearsHabaaaaa! What is convincing here. This is a hoax.
Journalists: Okay, who is father of Oduduwa?
Monday Wehere: This is where Oba Erediauwa got it wrong. Progenitors of major ethnic nations in the world are vicegerent to the Almighty God the Creator of the universe. They normally come with twin spirits that is why is always difficult to know their wives, you only hear of the founder but where he got his wife is another esoteric matter. So he Oba Erediauwa thought Oduduwa was an ordinary human being that is where he got it wrong. But Oba Erediauwa, as a renowned Mystic and Esotericist, I expected him to know this or may be he was trying to cash in on the gullibility of the majority? The progenitors of major ethnic nations such as the Igbos, Hausas, Binis, are usually avatars in the proper spiritual parlance. Just like Oduduwa nobody can trace the source of Ogiso Igodo, the progenitor of the Binis except God the creator of the universe. They normally come with twin spirits and from there begin to procreate. This aspect is esoteric not exoteric, which he knows too well. May be am going to far, see how you can understand the fraud in this issue. Lets say the fake Ekaladerhan was 25 years before he was banished and lets say he also spent 5 years wandering in the bush before establishing Ile-Ife that is 30 years. Then lets say he Ekaladerhan now Oduduwa had Okanbi at the age of 30 years and Okanbi had Oromiyan at the age of 30 years meaning 60 years and lets say Oromiyan had Eweka at the age of 30 years meaning 90 years and let’s say Eweka was 30 years old before he came to continue with the invasion where his father Orominyan stopped bringing a total of 120 years whereas the history he Oba Erediauwa gave on page 17 in his Birthday Programme titled Happy Birthday Celebration Iselogbe-Umogun dated 23rd June 2013 shows that Ogiso Owodo died at 11:30AD and Oba Eweka I forcefully took occupation of Benin Kingdom as the first Oba at 12:00AD, all these within a duration of 70 years, Habaaa!. So what is convincing here?
Journalists: But, excuse me High Chief Wehere, where was Ogiamien all this while that a tenant Oba Eweka dynasty to use your own word relegated them to the background to the extent that the Ogiamien is not popular in Benin except recently?
The Ogiamien(Evian) was only a representative of Ogiso(Oba) dynasty bcos, Imadoduwa(Oduduwa) fled to Ife(Ile ife) during the reign of his Father Ogiso Ikaladeran becos, his stepmom Esagho the Evil woman persuaded and threatened the chiefs (bcos, she was having an afire with them) who went to the winch doctor to know the reason why the Ogiso could'nt have another children, but lie to tell him that he should banish he's son Imadoduwa and his mother from Igodomidodo(Benin) bcos, they'r the course of his problem, and Ogiso Ikaladeran did as his chiefs siad. then, After the death of Ikaladeran, then, the (Evian) was made to be as Ogiso till they find the real child of Ikaladeran, Imadoduwa to take over the Tron of his father bcos, (Evian) was a brother to the late Ikaladeran. but when they finally found Imadoduwa, he was already a King at Ile ife, then he sent his son Oromihan to become the new king in Igodomigodo, but (Evian) and his Children wanted to continue to rule as the King bcos, of their greed and the sweetness of power they have enjoyed. Oromihan came with a new tittle called Oba, or Oba dynasty but the Evian and his family said there's no tittle like that in Igodomigodo (Benin) but Ogie amien: meaning Ogiso is the only dynasty we recognize not Oba, that's where their name came about, Ogiamien. But the Oba Oromihan defeated them and took over the Tron but did'nt stay long in Igodomigodo bcos, he could'nt communicate with them but left a Child called Eweka to becomes the KING. and Oromihan said the Igodomigodo ppl r violent ppl, and he called them Ilebinu in yoruba: meaning angry ppl. and that's where the name came from (Benin/IleBinu became Benin). So, when ever a new King want to take over the Tron in Benin, they must fight with the head of Ogiamien's family just as a remembrance of history, and it's not even a real fight but fun fight to keep the history, and the Oba always wine the fight before seating on His Tron. but these stupid ppl wanna come up with some fake stories to see if they can gain some land to sell. hungry ppl. I am from Ilobi the village he said his mother came from. We the Edos knows our history, no greedy ppl can change it. the greed of their fathers have never departed from them. Fools
There is no such thing as oba in igodomigodo they have ogiso not Obas.
I think Benin's should wake up from their slumber
Exactly.

WOW! INTERESTING I DO LOVE HISTORY, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW I ENDED UP HERE
This man know what he is saying.....
The original king our Royal imperial majesty Arisco Osemwegie Ogiamien the landlord of Utantan ldu igodomigodo ghator kpere lseee lseee
About one hundred villages in Benin Division have hereditary Chiefs (Enigie) who are descended from sons of the different Ogisos. The Ogisos used to send their sons out to rule over villages and they continued to owe homage and allegiance to each succeeding Ogiso as their father and overlord.
After Ogiso Erebo had leased Benin Kingdom to Oba Eweka, Jacob Egharevba while confirming that Ogiso/Ogiamien Stool is far higher than that of the Oba of Benin, hear him, this system:
was followed by the Obas descending from Oranmiyan in the second period
So who is deceiving who in this context? I hope this would suffice further details. The Oba of Benin therefore cannot be higher than his landlord. The Ogiso/Ogiamien stool is far higher than that of the Oba of Benin.
The renowned historian, H. Ling Roth in his book Great Benin Its customs, Art and Horrors and Naiwu Osahon supported Jacob Egharevba:
among others three highest state counselors in great Benin appointed by the King for the government of the country They are the highest personages in the country next to the King, for above them there is nobody but the field marshal, who is nearest to the King. They are in command of a quarter of the town so every town or village is governed by a certain number of chiefs or nobles
After dividing Bini into two, some of these established villages fell into the domain of Oba Eweka while some also fell into the domain of the Ogiamien Erebo. Both the Oba and the Ogiamien Erebo would need to have separate Traditional Council of Chiefs to assist them in the smooth administration of their respective Kingdom, so how can a tenant be higher than his landlord. It is fraudulent and deceitful to say that the tenant is higher than his landlord. Now, having said that let’s, come to the criminal aspect of the issue. See! We have not committed any crime rather they did. Oba Erediauwa, criminally used government machineries and instruments at their disposal to raise the stool of Oba of Benin Kingdom higher than that of the Great Ogiamien Royal Family and custodian of all descendants of the 32 previous Ogisos that had ruled Igodomigodo.
Journalists: Could you please explain what you mean by the criminality against Oba Erediauwa?
Monday Wehere: First, let us look at the meaning of a crime and thereafter we will also look at the meaning of a criminal, because I am going to use the word Criminal too much in this interview. The Websters Universal Dictionary & Thesaurus defines a Crime means a violation of the law, an offence against morality or the public welfare; wrong-doing; a shame, disappointment while it also defines a Criminal of the nature, or guilty of, a crime. a person who has committed a crime.
Now lets look at the 8 stanzas of The Memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty, the traditional law which clearly defined the relationship between the Great Ogiamien Royal Family and the Oba of Benin, a permanent tenant in Benin Kingdom and thereafter compare it with the present realities to discover the criminality of Oba Erediauwa against the Bini aborigines and especially the Great Ogiamien Royal Family:
1 That Bini land, with Eki - Okpagha as the demarcation line was divided into two equal parts when the Ogiamien Erebo reportedly said, I sell half of this land to you putting soil into the locked palms of Oba Eweka I and himself, I do not sell the land to you finally. It shall be yours throughout your reign, but your children shall in future buy this land again from me in the same way you have done;
2 That Ogiamien's warriors and the Oba's warriors would not, during their traditional raids on markets confiscate either family's goods;
3 That certain thatch, called Ekhuerehi in Benin would be used in roofing all houses built on the Oba's half of Bini while Ebeni thatch would be used on houses on Ogiamien's half;
4 That the family of the Ogiamien and the Oba would not inter-marry;
5 That the Oba would pay to the Ogiamien as each of his succeeding sons would do in future the following purchase fees: four persons including a woman, a large drum, called the Okha an Ugiamwen, which was the equivalent of six shillings and six pence in British currency; a flute Orhu: a cow, an Ukhurhe staff, Agba and Ere;
6 That none of the Ogiamien's children can be used as Chief of the Oba and they cannot kneel down to greet the Oba of Benin;
7 That there should be cordial relationship between the Ogiamien of Utantan, Bini and the Oba of Benin Kingdom;
8 That the Oba of Benin will some time visit the Ogiamien in his palace through the door called Urho-Erivbin, in the palace of the Ogiamien. This door is never open for others; it is only used by the Oba of Benin Kingdom.
What is the meaning of liare your greeting?
I AM STILL APPEALING TO THE PEOPLE OF IYEKE ORHIONMWON, URHUNMWODE, IKPOBA OKHA AND IYEKE OGBA TO AVAIL THEMSELVES WITH THE FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS ..BEFORE 1897, THE OBA OF BENIN HAD NO CONTROL OVER THESE TERRITORIES.

HE SAID. I AM A HOME LEOPARD. THE OIL WELLS IN THESE TERRITORIES IS WHAT HE IS INTERESTED IN. OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS TODAY MAKES A LARGER NUMBER OF THOSE TRYING TO CROSS THE MED SEA TO EUROPE. WE MUST STAND UP AND CONTROL OUR RESOURCES.

This is interesting story
(8)That the Oba of Benin will some time visit the Ogiamien in his palace through the
door called Urho-Erivbin, in the palace of the Ogiamien. This door is never open for
others; it is only used by the Oba of Benin Kingdom.
This stanza is the mother of all stanzas. The Urho-Erivbin is about 4ft (See Appendix D) height which compeled the Oba of Benin to bow down before the Ogiamien when entry the Ogiamien palace through this special door. This is one of the major headaches Oba Erediauwa had why he refused to visit Ogiamien Osarobo; therefore he allegedly arranged for his kidnapped and secret elimination.
So, you can see that they have a lot to gain by sponsoring crisis in Ogiamien family so that they can circumvent the memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty. We have a lot to loose, they dont have any to loose. Dont forget, Ogiamien Osarobo at the age 13 years re-enacted the Ekiokpagha Treaty with the current incumbent Oba Erediauwa. We did not make things difficult for him then as a teenager is it now that Ogiamien Osarobo is fully grown up with a Masters degree in history and was preparing for a doctorate degree in the same history that will frustrate him. No, they are responsible for whatever may have happened to Ogiamien Osarobo. Arent you surprised that they are always saying that we should go and look for Ogiamien Osarobo. Is so funny, while we are confused as to the whereabouts of Ogiamien Osarobo, they are so confident that he is alive and are asking us every minute, every seconds, every hour and every day to go and look for him and bring him out where they have hid him. So at the appropriate time, we will take them up on Ogiamien Osarobo issue. Since we published the allegations in Ogiamien Trumpet that they are responsible for the disappearance or death of Ogiamien Osarobo, they have not replied us, rather they kept mentioning him in all their publications saying he is alive and that we should go and find him.
Journalists: What is the matter really between Chief John Osamede Adun and your royal family?
Monday Wehere: Nothing, my family has even contributed to his success in life.
Journalists: Really, but he is always insulting your royal family in the news media calling your people all sorts of namesWhy?
Monday Wehere: Yes! We are aware. He is being used and sponsored by the Benin Traditional Council to insult us. Dont mind that Animal called slave Bornboy alias Bob Izua.
Journalists: Why did you call a whole palace chief, Chief John Osamede Adun animal
Monday Wehere: I think the animal I just called him is even better. I am still searching for a better word to describe him next time he opens that his smelling mouth. You see the animal has no sixth sense, this is why the animal cannot create, think and do the things humans can do. The Animal Slave Bornboy dont have the sixth sense, otherwise he wont be doing… playing the slavery role and errand boy for the BTC why his business is collapsing; he can longer pay his staff salaries as and when due, all his best drivers have left to join other companies. The number of his vehicles are dwindling and worst of all, his son is running the business aground while he is busy doing errand boy for the BTC. This same Animal Bob Izua, when he had his first son, he could not even pay the hospital bill, it was my own elder brother late Monday Emokpae Ogiamien alias Stagali (Aboligi) who gave him N8, 000.00 to discharge his wife and his new born baby from the hospital. When he was a butcher selling meat, we all knew how he got that contract to supply meat to UBTH and the contributions made by one of our fathers. You need to see this Animal Slave Bornboy alias Bob Izua pushing truck then to deliver meats to UBTH, you see him smelling with drops of animal blood all over him. A well known litigant. He has more than 100 cases in the court, he has no shame. Look at the idiot calling his fore fathers slaves, the family that has made so much to build him in life. He should thank his God that my elder brother Late Stagali is not alive, that is his saving grace, so he can go on talking rubbish. I trust, Stagali would have bent his neck.
Journalists: The same Chief John Osamede Adun accused Ogiamien Family of desecrating the stool of the Oba of Benin.
I like you people
Ogieamien was just an administrator of the Benin kingdom during the interegnum period. He was never an Ogiso
Deby, the same way Oranmiyan became the sixth Ooni and a direct son to Oduduwa who died 200 yrs before his birth. Deby, there is a case in court, avail yourself with the proceedings. Your Oba says that he only the owner of Benin since 1979.
The word oba as no meaning in ebbing longuage. Ogiie mean king hiso mean sky smiler in Urhobo isoko esan even in okpe.
You're doomed! Learn true history and fooling yourself.
this matter strong ooo..
I am of the support that Oba Oromiyan existed before all of this ogisho's you are talking about
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you're dumb! Please research.
Never GIVE UP as the battle will be warned one day. If not this generation, there will be a generation that will surely win the BATTLE. Kept the believe. Don't lose the history.
Which history? Do you know your history Mr Solomon Igbinoba!
Ogiamien was Erebor. Evian was Ogiamien father. Ogiamien was the second son to Evian. These longer throat father and son was a caretaker in Benin Kingdom. Their arrogance lead the good people of Benin to search for Ikaladeran= Izoduwa = Ododuwa by the Ife people. Rich Arisco is Maternally related to the the Ogiamien. Mr Solomon Igbinoba can you enquire the where about of Osarobo from Arisco?
Ogiamien family are not Descendant of Ogiso's dynasty.
When next you go to Benin sit with the Elders or young ones with good knowledge of the Benin Kingdom history. By the power of God and our ancestors your children will not be part of theswvabominable response to these enemies of Benin Kingdom
Are you envious of Oba Ewuare 11?

@@Favour2020 I am in Benin city now and leaving in two days time. There won't be enough time to make enquiries. I will never be envious of my great Oba. God bless our OBA. Amen
My brother I watched the movie *INVASION 1897* By Oduwa imasuen on cinema and I have a copy of it on my drive,also I intend to save this Ogie-amien documentary.
The treaty spoken of during the British invasion was for the Queen of England to extend Her protection to igodomigodo,of which oba ovboranmwen declined. that's by the way.
Your documentary States that " Owodu had NO SON.."
I ask, who then was Ekaladeran?
Ekaladeran (Benin prince and heir to the throne) was the only son of Owodu(the last ogiso) who had lots of female children (okuku okuku n' aghimien vbe eguae Ogiso). Ekaladeran who was to be unjustly sacrificed for Ogiso to have more male children, was secretly set free by the executioners.(there is no dispute to the fact that Ekaladeran was not killed, igue (village)Ekaladeran still exit till date, a settlement founded by the executioners and hunters, who were reordered to carryout Ekaladeran execution, when the 1st failed.
It was some years after Evian (owodu brother) victory over Osogan(the monster) That owodu was banished for misrule of the kingdom. Then the people appointed Evian as an ADMINISTRATOR OF THE GOVERNMENT.
I.e" EDAYI" in Benin (a temporal office) and not AS OGISO (the king)...When Evian was stricken by old age he nominated his son OGIE-AMIEN as his successor.
NOTE: it is good for All to note here that: kingship in igodomigodo is by heritage ,a first son inheritance.. EVIAN WAS NEVER IN THAT BLOODLINE.
Evian decision lead to political anarchy and division. This was what lead to the search of the long banished or supposed executed prince Ekaladeran, the search ended at ife,where Ekaladeran was now a king in another nation(Yoruba). Ekaladeran couldn't returned to Benin ,because he was old and couldn't walk that far distance. instead he sent his son Oromiyan .
I want to believe now that ,Evian may have played a back role to esagho(Ogiso wife) that Ekaladeran should be sacrifice ,for the king to have more male children...
your documentary also States that, ogie-amien palace was not burnt during the British invasion and that ogie-amien palace received British recognition.. I guess there is more to the Invasion than we already know.
My brother you must be a special investigator
Oba Eware Ogidigan never said that they came from Ife. I watched the full video so many times, he said when Ogiso died, the binis asked their self exiled king (Ekaladeran) to come back and rule the kingdom”. Ekaladeran was the only son of the last ogiso but because he was to old then he sent his first son Oramiyan to come and rule the Bini. I just don’t know why that part of the video was edited. Sad
God bless you for this elaboration. These illiterate frustrated bastards are so confused . I didn't know where they got those falsified documents from.. Where are the EFCC. These guys must be a yahoo guys. OBASOGIE. OGIEISOBA.
What self exiled king?!?.What planet are you from?You ile ibinu people keep deceiving yourselves that BS fake Ekhaladeran story that was cooked up by Oba to cover your true origin.
It is E..W..U..A..R..E not Eware..It is a Yoruba word..E..W..U..A..R..E..Meaning the Garment on his body is hard/tough...O..G..I..D..I..G..A..N..Prince Ogun(Yoruba) assumed this name when he subsequently became EWUARE 1
@Edeighie..But you are the illiterate here because you cannot see and follow reasoning FYI that Doc they are holding is genuine and authentic..We have checked it out and I am neither on their side nor yours but so far their arguments are convincing and persuasive with sound reasoning and cogent and logical delivery something that cannot be said for you Ile ibinu and Eheneden E..W..U..A..R..E. followers..FOOLS
Who the fuck is ekaladeran that gave birth to oranmiyan?
One Big question I want someone to give me the right answer is this, in Benin or as a Benin person there are different family’s which in line you know them by the greetings, why did other Benin family’s have to join with the OBA of Benin to war the Ogiamen family while trying to claim the throne?. If Ogiamen family are throughly the rightful family to sit on the throne, why did the other family’s of Benin fight with the Ogiamen?. Is it that they don’t want them on the throne or they knew the throne was not for Ogiamen family because they where ask to stand and watch over the throne before the rightful person come to take over and Ogiamen family want to rebel what is not there’s.
Mr peters, Do you know the meaning of a treaty? I will answer you if you know the meaning. Seconly if a treaty is valid from 1255 AD to 1979 it htne means that the treaty remains valid for eternity. thanks
Kingdom against kingdom Kings against Kings, the scripture Prophecy is coming to pass, end time is near, accept Jesus today as you Lord and Savior. Shalom brothers. John 3:16.
When Oba Ovoramen was exiled, what happened to Obaship rule in Benin?
During the exile ,my great grandfather became the administrator of Benin kingdom, he was the iyase of Benin kingdom his name Obaseki ,he took over the affairs of the kingdom before oba Eweka 2 the crown Prince became the King of Benin.
Good question, Osa.
My late father who was a palace chief to late oba akenzua and oba Erediawa told me that after the british conquered the bini and took Oba Ovoramen to calabar. The 3 benin prominet chieves like OLIHA, OGIEMIEN AND ONE OTHER CHIEF i cannot remember his name now AGREED that ogiamien should be the
ACTING RULER OF BENIN UNTIL OBA OVORAMEN RETUND BACK. Unfortunately, Ovoramen died in Calabar and ogiamen REFUSED to give up the thrown. this led to a serious problem in benin. the benin believed that ovioba _orioba, ie only the son of the king can become a king in benin land. With time past the Rightful person was enthrowned as king in benin. Ogiamien family is NEVER A ROYAL FAMILY IN BENIN KINGDOM
Referring to Evian as a Prince of the Ogiso Royal Family, Dr. Williams Ogunlesi in his article titled The position of the Ogiamien in Benin Kingdom on p18 of the African Culture Magazine 1995 said while speaking on the Monster that killed many Binis in 1170AD:
It was only a Prince from Ogiso Royal Family called Evian who was able to get rid of the monster called Osogan
Naiwu Osahon, the renowned Bini historian in his book the correct history of Edo people on the internet while speaking on the dreaded monster also which swallowed many Binis during the reign of Ogiso Owodo noted:
Every effort to tackle the monster, including spiritual means failed until Evian a member of the Ogiso Royal Family, succeeded in throwing a hot iron into the mouth of the monster
Ekhaguosa Aisien in his small book: A History of Benin also speaking on the same matter, described Evian as CITIZEN EVIAN.
Ogiso Owodo and his Chiefs were perplexed and helpless regarding the depredations of the Osogan until Citizen Evian came into the picture bringing the tools of his trade to bear on the problem
All these are aimed at confirming that Evian was allowed to succeed Ogiso Owodo who died without a child for Evian to continue maintaining the blood grail.
So, as at this time, the Binis had enough qualified human resources to run the affairs of Igodomigodo. Even when the Binis were faced with the most terrible situation in life when the Esogan Monster appeared and swallowed many Binis, the Binis did not send for a King from Ile-Ife to come and rescue them. Thus the Binis never sent for a King from Ile-Ife. This is a hoax. Oba Erediauwa criminally concocted this and some of the following other fake stories to justify and establish their stay in Benin Kingdom permanently.
What actually happened was that the Oyo Empire during the reign of the 6th Ooni of Ife Oba Orominya came and invaded Bini and forcefully took occupation of Benin Kingdom via Ekiokpagha Treaty. Any other story different from this is a hoax and they were criminally concocted by Oba Erediauwa. The terms and conditions of the dreaded and memorable Ekiokpagha treaty suffice further details. The following were some of the fake concepts, stories, theories he Oba Erediauwa criminally manufactured to dispel the unique and distinct royal position of the Ogiamien Royal Family and the aborigine Binis and also in his attempt to distort the history of the Yoruba but failed:
EKALADERHAN: That the supposedly banished Prince Ekaladerhan who was said to have set up a settlement camp he called 'Ilefe,' (meaning, successful escape) and later changed his name to 'Izoduwa,' (meaning I have chosen the path of prosperity). Izoduwa's new home, 'Ilefe' which was said to be in the heart of Yoruba land and because of his immense magic powers soon endeared himself to his Yoruba community which included some Uzebu (corrupted in Yoruba to Ijebu) who had followed him into exile from Igodomigodo, and were treating him as a god. The Yoruba corrupted his name Izoduwa to 'Oduduwa' and his camp, 'Ilefe' to 'Ile-Ife.' Oduduwa became the spiritual leader of the Ifa divinity. The yoruba (who call The Creator, Olodumare), saw Oduduwa as a direct descendant, which he claimed as a result of his God-son lineage, although his banishment link with the God-sons (Ogisos) was kept a secret from the Yoruba. In fact, the Yoruba believed he was a deity from the sky as he claimed and accorded him great reverence as their leading ancestor. This is nothing but a hoax.
Another distorted version posted on the internet via Permalink by Otedo News Update sponsored by the Evil Genius Oba Erediauwa says that Ogiso Owodo had two sons, Ekaladerhan Izoduwa (Imadoduwa or Ode-Oduwa) and Eweka. According to this history contractor hired by Oba Erediauwa to do his biddings:
Absolute nonsense and I'm ijebu there's no connection to benin apart from some founders of certain towns following oranmiyan from ife to benin area and down south. Oranmiyan last I checked isn't the fake made up izoduwa or ekaladerhan so why the equation of oranmiyan to this made up ekaladerhan isn't it supposed to be Oduduwa and if oduduwa was self exiled how come you guys make up different people who followed a guy that was self exiled. The lies are getting too obvious. See a more rounded explanation below of the truth and lies
I will start with ekaladerhan/izoduwa fiction. It was never known to benin until 1970s when chief omoregie stated in a publication that ekaladerhan went to ife and became oranmiyan to the people of ife. Ekaladerhans story as written by benin historian egharevba earlier in 1930s and also collected in the 1890s stated he died in ughatan(I have proof for all this just ask me so you can read😁). Now that same ekaladerhan/izoduwa became oranmiyan and when oba erediauwa was to write his book, he wrote that ekaladerhan was now oduduwa father of oranmiyan. It was obvious that because of politics of superiority and uniqueness, what all have always known to be that ornamiyan from ife founded benin which egharevba wrote and which a lot of europeans collected from benin itself was subverted and changed in the 1970s.
Now to Oduduwa. Oduduwa is absolutely not a corruption, you can't just make assertions that are untrue. Oduduwa means odu to da uwa (the source or repository of existence). Moreover in benin, ugie oduduwa is celebrated and known not ugie izoduwa or ugie ekaladerhan. According to oral tradiotons he's from oke ora Hill a settlement just outside of ife. He cane to ife and fought of obatala and united ife into a kingdom. No tradition in ife has oduduwa from mecca or from benin.
The mecca hypothesis was as a result of sultan Bello of sokoto who gave middle eastern origins to a lot of ethnic groups around the river Niger. This was later attributed to oduduwa the patriarch of all yoruba kingdoms and ife kingdom and popularized in academia. Note that egyptian/middle eastern theories of origin for people and/ kings was also popular in ancient times for many african kingdoms and peoples, Benin was not also left out as egharevba had though the benin came from Egypt to ife also.
Now, About the heaven hypothesis all heroes of ife at the time were deified as irunmoles who came from heaven. That can be said about the ogisos as well who came from heaven as well. It's a myth to honor them after death moreover all humans are from heaven(orun) in yoruba spirituality as well as other African spirituality. I'm sure all the other yoruba heroes and deities aren't from benin as well right? Exactly that's how poor that logic is.
Traditions state his human existence (oduduwa) began at oke ora hill and then to ife where he wrestled power and united ife from a confederacy to one of the first kingdoms in the area and this system was later exported via many prince's and hunters when ife started expanding this includes the oranmiyan who was sent to restore order and found the new benin kingdom with the same monarchial system from ife into the area... The rest of the story is well known ile ubinu, eweka(owomika)
No treaty was sign it was only a traditional performance. Hence you all need to go to school
I can see you did not pass your school cert. bye bye needless talking to a semi fool
Sir, if 1979 is your own time, that means you know my Dad. Yes my father was there when Oba Erediawa was incoronated. I saw the Pictures of the Oba Erediawa coronation in Dad`s Album.
Rita I don't know your father. Visit the national commission for museums and monuments in Ring road and you will have a first hand info about the Ogiamien Ogiso and Oromiyan Eweka. The abboriginal people don't make love to thier sisters. This is the difference between Orhiomwon, Uhunmwode, Ikpoba Okha and Iyeke Ogba. from the Oba's Benin City of Ovia, Uselu, Ogbe and so. Oba Erediauwa said he came to straighten Benin tradition. Instead Erediauwa polluted our tradition by having the current Oba from his sister. The Current Oba, his son did same thing. He impregnated his sister. princess Imariabe Aghama Eweka.
johnny sidney My brother i am from uhunmwonde local government area of edo state
Because of you guys ways ijaws are now telling us they owns benin
Omonuwa let us be precise, Ijaws are claiming gelegele not Benin. Have you been to gelegele? firstly by Nigerian law the Oba of Benin has no right to creat any royal stool under him. I hope the governement is able to resolve that problem through negotiations. We Ogiso's are not interested in it. Ours is the supreme court.
johnny sidney ok brother
Omonuwa you don't where Ewuare's mother comes from not to talk of Ekaladeran.. shame tell me about the mother of your Oba...
I don't blame them na because of Libya road

MR JOHN ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE OBA OF BENIN IS PRAYING THE COURTS TO MAKE HIM SUPERIOR TO THE EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO SINCE 1979? THE EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO IS PLEADING THE COURT TO DECLARE HIM SUPERIOR AND THE LANDLORD OF BENIN SINCE 1255 AD. THE EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO WON AT THE HIGH COURT. HE WAS DELARED THE LESSOR AND LAND LORD OF BENIN KINGDOM. THE COURT OF APPEAL AFTER VIOLENC BY THE OBA DECLARED THE OBA SUPERIOR TO EVIAN OGIAMIEN OGISO SINCE 1979. JUST 1979? IS THAT POSSIBLE. HIS KINGDOM ENDED IN 1897.
facebook.com/jisichei lets talk on messenger I did a thesis that I am about to finish the white man brought lies on us. I am in no way disbelieving you I just wish to your source. the treaty was a farce initiated by the Europeans.
PLS TAKE NOTE WE DON'T HAVE KINGS IN NIGERIA...NO KINGDOM IN NIGERIA. NIGERIA IS A REPUBLIC. PLS TAKE NOTE AND VERY IT. THIS IS THE LAW...

IT IS THE OLDEST HOUSE IN NIGERIA. CAN'T WE BE PROUD OF THIS FIT? .EREDIAUWA INSTIGATED THE DISAPPEARANCE OF OSAROBO THE OGIAMIEN OF UTANTAN WHO CORONATED IN 1979. WE CAN'T FIND HIM. HE HAS BEEN EARNING THE SALARIES OF THE OGIAMIEN SINCE 1968 TILL DATE. WE WILL DEFEAT HIM. HE IS TALKING OF 1979, WE ARE TALKING FROM 1255. OGIAMIEN GHA TOR KPERE ISEE. GO TO THE UNIVERSITY THE LECTURERS TO AVAIL YOU WITH THE CUSTOMARY LAWS FOR BENIN.
the film is just a rendition and is a one-sided account. tell me the story of the Ogiso of which a Dutchman tried to assassinate
mr john to tell you a dutchman atempted to assasinate any ogiso. the ogiso reign ended almost three hundered yrs before the white man came calling on the west african coast... I do not agree.
Keep ur history to yourself we don't need it...LONG LIVE OBA EWUARE THE 2ND
long live the ambassador rapist ewuare
This could be a movie in America. Another Game of Thrones.
no movie alex, its a simple fact. from 1255 AD TILL 1979. EVERY OBA PAID HOMAGE TO THE OGIAMIEN. THE QUESTION IS WHY IS THE ALMIGHTY AND GREAT OBA OF BENIN ASKING THE COURT TO DECLARE HIM SUPERIOR TO THE OGIAMIEN OGISO SINCE 1979? OGIAMIEN OGISO IS ASKING THE COURT TO DECLARE DUPERIOR TO THE OBA OF BENIN SINCE 1255'AD? AS ENSHRINED IN THE FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS OF NIGERIA. THE FEDERAL GOV RECOGNISES THE OGIAMIEN OF UTANTAN BENIN AS THE TRADITIONAL LANDLORD AND THE DESCENDANT OF THE OGISO DYNASTY. YOU CAN BUY A COPY FROM THE COURT. THE FEDERAL CUSTOMARY LAWS REGULATES ALL CHIEFTAINCY TITLES IN NIGERIA BASED ON THE PRE COLONIAL ARRANGEMENTS OF NIGERIA.
johnny sidney so u think this OG should be made king of benin? The current Oba is weird guy. That doesn’t have respect for any man. All these are stories no documents to support these OG claims

NOTES ON THE MEMORABLE EKIOKPAGHA TREATY
(1)That Bini land, with Eki - Okpagha as the demarcation line was divided into two
equal parts when the Ogiamien Erebo reportedly said, I sell half of this land to you
putting soil into the locked palms of Oba Eweka I and himself, I do not sell the
land to you finally. It shall be yours throughout your reign, but your children shall in
future buy this land again from me in the same way you have done;
This stanza confirmed that Oba of Benin is a permanent tenant. It also shows that Oba of
Benin is a foreigner in Bini. Again, it confirmed the division of Bini into two one part
for Oba of Benin and the remaining part for Ogiamien dynasty and this they do not want
the unsuspecting general public to know hence Oba Erediauwa has been warning dont divide
Bini land.
(2)That Ogiamien's warriors and the Oba's warriors would not, during their traditional
raids on markets confiscate either family's goods;
This stanza confirmed that there are two governments in Bini: Oba of Benin Kingdom in
his territory while Ogiamien in charge of his own territory called Utantan-Bini. They are
not comfortable with this too.
(3)That certain thatch, called Ekhuerehi in Benin would be used in roofing all houses
built on the Oba's half of Bini while Ebeni thatch would be used on houses on
Ogiamien's half;
Unfortunately civilization has destroyed this, if not, we should not be talking too much at
this time. This is why Oba Erediauwa want to cash in on this to circumvent the
Ekiokpagha Treaty.
(4)That the family of the Ogiamien and the Oba would not inter-marry;
Despite, we are not related; this stanza shows clearly the extent of the cold war. I, was
instinctually told that Ogiamien Erebo took this decision because of the negative role the
illegitimate, and illicit children (i.e Oba Eweka I and so many others) they secretly got
through our daughters exhibited during the invasion.
(5)That the Oba would pay to the Ogiamien as each of his succeeding sons would do
in future the following purchase fees: four persons including a woman, a large drum,
called the Okha an Ugiamwen, which was the equivalent of six shillings and six
pence in British currency; a flute Orhu: a cow, an Ukhurhe staff, Agba and Ere;
This stanza confirmed that Ogiamien will remain Obas lessor forever. That is Oba of
Benin is a permanent tenant while the Ogiamien is the permanent landlord. Until this rent
is paid, no Oba-Elect can be pronounced an Oba and will not be allowed to occupy the
Benin Kingdom leased to them by Ogiamien Erebo. This stanza finally confirmed the
status of the Oba of Benin in Bini. With this stanza, it is going to be difficult for Oba of
Benin to claim Number One or to be more superior to the Ooni of Ife. This stanza
clearly shows that the Oba of Benin is a descendant of the Ooni of Ife and not vice
versa. So you can see their dilemma.
(6)That none of the Ogiamien's children can be used as Chief of the Oba and they
cannot kneel down to greet the Oba of Benin;
This stanza speaks volumes in Africa culture. Here it is confirmed that the Ogiamien is far
superior to the Oba of Benin. It means that the Ogiamien is Number One while the Oba
of Benin is second and that the Oba of Benin is under the Ogiso/Ogiamien Royal Family.
(7)That there should be cordial relationship between the Ogiamien of Utantan, Bini
and the Oba of Benin Kingdom;
All the past Oba of Benin Kingdom on their own tried to maintain this cordial
relationship. That is why Ohen Evain (Ogiamien dynasty) is still in charge of
Iyekoeogba. I was also instinctually told that before the coming of Oba Erediauwa, while
Ogiamien was issuing permits for land in Utantan, the Oba of Benin was also at the
Same time issuing permits and approval for land within his territory, but Oba Erediauwa
discreetly usurped the power and function of Ogiamien of Utantan just to dispel the
distinct and unique royal position of Ogiamien of Utantan.
A country were they steal money if no one ask...such country will not progress...by the great Osayonmore..
currently many chiefs re out of land,no more business... show to us before the supreme court ur claims ..FYI ogieamien was Edayi,who refused to leave power ,when the rightful heir to the throne came..
Ogiamien was never a edayi but a son to Evian Ogiso the younger brother of Ogiso Owodo. The federal gov does not recognise the Oba as an Ogiso. Igbinudu do you know Benin city at all? By 1970 Benin City had under 1000 houses and the Oba's territory as spelt out in the Ekiokpagha treaty in 1255 Ad had only 10% of these houses. The Ogiamien territory had 90% of these houses. Watch the 1897 invasion you will understand what we are saying. anyway bro, we are here to educate people and the supreme court will take its decision.

PLS DON'T ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET BOUGHT A COPY OF THE HIGH COURT JUDGEMENT. OGIAMIEN VSBTC, EDO STATE AND THE OBA OF BENIN. ALSO AVAIL YOURSELF OF A COPY FROM THE COURT OF APPEAL JUDGEMENT. THIS IS THE BONE OF CONTENTIONS. THANKS.
It should fire your mother who does not know your father.
Benin is the only ethnic group in Africa were they don't discriminate between themselves,i.e if you im a Benin man or woman, nobody will ask you where in Benin because we are all one family, this was the same reason why they have to stop the war with ogiamien. so are you trying to tell me that the Oba and his people were complete strangers?they spoke a different language? and the ogiamien allowed them to stay?.....
Oramiyan invaded igodomigodo change the name to ile ibinu. If oramiyan was ogiso he would have continued with the ogiso dynasty.
Foolish old men don't politise our kingdom
So you guys didn't remember when they sent Ododuwa out from the house of Ogiso, and he went to Ife, so when we the benis wanted Ododuwa to come and rule us, he said he was too old, that he cannot, he sent his elder son to come.
Not is elder son,it is his last son oronmiyan
@@efeekpen8216 ok, thank you my brother, but they were from Ogiso' family
Thank God oba and people of Benin has finally been exposed with their lies that have been going on for years by cleaming that Oduduwa(ekaladehian) was their vanished prince, no wonther Oramiyan rename the land as land of vexation. I rest my case.
If oranmiyan is from Benin why will he come and corse his home land and go away ? The Truth is that the igodomigodo was hijacked and divided by yorubas with the help of the British people wake up people the your oba na Yoruba man
Oranmiyan did not even see his father Ogun Idekoseroake known as Okanbi who was the 3rd Olufe or Ooni Ife. How could they have met Oduduwa 😂
Lies won't help Ile Ibinu people o
OBA OVORANMWEN IN 1897 DENIED THE EXISTENCE OF IYEKE ORHIONMWON, UHUNMWODE, IKPOBA OKHA AND IYEKE OGBA. OBA EREDIAUWA DID SAME THING IN THE HISTORY OF BENIN HE SPONSORED. .. ANOTHER OUT STANDING SYMBOL OF THE TWO FORMER KINGDOMS. OLOKUN FOR OGIAMIEN AND SHANGO FOR THE OBA.

We the binis already know the truth on how Eheneden and his father Eradiauwa killed Osarobo Ogiamien in the ýear 2000 and now he is also trying to kill His royal majesty Ogiamien of benin kingdom again with his killer squad to assassinate him in his house, enough is a enough for all this nonsense stop parading yourself as oba of benin becous in benin kingdom the history told us that we only have one king His royal majesty Ogiamien not oba.
Well done Big daddy
History is very important before you conclude do your research....Gov Bluewhale.
You know these are very old villages and communities. There are so many others Jacob Egharevba did not mention and this is why I said that all the villages and communities that had existed before the coming of Oba Eweka dynasty in Bini are the Bini aborigines. They have in addition too produced many other sub-villages and communities. The people concerned know them. These are the aborigine Binis and they have no relationship whatsoever with the Oba of Benin. Going to bow and worship the Oba of Benin is not only an aberration but a serious taboo. The implication is that these villages and communities still bowing and worshipping the Oba of Benin will not experience any growth, by continuously worshiping a foreign King. They will remain stagnant and until they take the bull by the horn and stop worshipping foreign King, like the Oba of Benin, they will remain where they are. Arent you surprised that Agbor, Sapele, Ughelli, Auchi, Ekpoma, Urhomi, Ubiaja etc of yesterday is more developed than all these villages and communities which are several years older, so they should wake up from their slumber and join the moving train, of the Great Ogiamien Royal Family. There are enough seats inside the train for those who have the courage to join us.
Journalists: The Crowned Prince has started the initiation process and as of now He is now an Oba-Elect?
Monday Wehere: Yes! You are right. Now he can be refereed to as the Oba of Benin-Elect.
Journalists: But come oooo where is the Oba Erediauwa?
Monday Wehere: Are you asking me. Go and ask the Animal Slave Bornboy alias Bob Izua. See! All those ceremonies the Crowned Prince is performing are just cosmetics. They are not part of the culture and traditions of the Ogiso dynasty. They gradually developed them with a view to circumvent the Ekiokpagha Treaty. They just introduced that culture to deceive the general public. The main thing is the Ekiokpagha Treaty. We are waiting for them. Although information reaching us is that the Animal Bob Izua has started boasting telling people that they will circumvent the Ekiokpagha Treaty, so lets watch and see how they will do this an event the aborigine Binis are earnestly waiting for.
Journalists: What is the relevance of the Ekiokpagha Treaty in the coronation of the Oba of Benin?
Monday Wehere: This is a very good question. The Ekiokpagha Treaty is the new rent an Oba-Elect MUST pay before he is pronounced an Oba and before he is allowed to occupy the territory that is the Benin Kingdom, Ogiamien Erebo leased to Oba Eweka I in 12:00AD. So they cannot circumvent it. If they do, the consequence is dead. Many Obas who tried to circumvent it died miserable death.
Journalists: Have there been cases of people from the ethnic nationalities you mentioned in your last edition who have come to trace their ancestors to the Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty.
Monday Wehere: Yes, there are so many of such cases. We have been receiving so many people and group of people who on their own traced their roots to Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty. Recently, the people of Onitsha Ugbo sent one Lincoln Ojeah to come and confirm how their root is linked to Ogiamien dynasty. According to them, information given to them by their fore fathers was that they migrated from Ogiamien dynasty. So they decided to send him to come and confirm the history and when he came we were able to trace their fore father to one of our Emokpae direct son who left Bini to establish their family at Onitsha Ugbo. (See Appendix F) of the photograph with our King Ogiamien Osemwengie JP with the emissary Lincoln Ojeah.
Journalists: Wont there be conflicts between the Ogiamien family and the Oba of Benin in this matter?
Monday Wehere: No! Not at all. I have explained this also in my last interview section. This is very simple! The time these ethnic groups i.e Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiris, Owans, Etsakos, Ogbas, Ekpeyes, Ikwerres, etc arrived where they found themselves today and what they heard from their fore fathers will tell you which of the Royal Families they belonged to in Bini. Those who left during the Pre-Exodus, the Main Exodus and Post Exodus are certainly our children. Oba Eweka dynasty started the imposition of leadership structures at about the late 14th Century, known as the Era of Imposition of Leadership Structures. It was not mass movement; it was a mere selective imposition. So it is easy to do the separation. We know the communities involved and the communities too also know them. They are very few few in the north, east and southern part of Bini, we have them on our finger tips. That is why they cannot lay authoritatively claim to the ownership of these ethnic groups but we can do so based on the foregoing analysis.
For example, before Lincoln Ojeah came to Ogiamien family, he went to the Oba of Benin palace to make an enquiry. He was even told to go and bring a formal letter introducing himself and the subject but immediately they saw Emokpae as the progenitor of their root in his letter, the Oba of Benin palace became lukewarm and never showed interest any more in the matter and that was what led Lincoln Ojeah to come to us.
ATEMPT BY THE OBA OF BENIN TO INCRIMINATE THE OGIAMIEN FAILD LAST FRIDAY AT THE HIGH COURT IN BENIN.
According to Benin archaeological history and traditions, thirty Ogiso (Kings and Rulers) ruled in Benin Kingdom before Ogiso Owodo. Ogiso Owodo had two sons, Ekaladerhan (Imadoduwa or Ode-Oduwa) and Eweka. Ogiso Owodo had two wives, Imade and Arhukho. Imade the senior wife gave birth to Eweka contrary to the earlier version that the mother of Eweka I was Erhinmwinde from Ego a daughter of the Enogie at the time. Arhukho was the mother of Ekaladerhan Izoduwa. Eweka being the legitimate son of Ogiso Owodo ascended the throne after the death of his father. Eweka was the senior brother to Ekaladerhan Izoduwa (Imadoduwa or Ode-Oduwa). Some argue that Ekaladerhan was born almost same time with Eweka, and that created a clash between him and the senior brother on whom should ascend the throne after the death of Ogiso Owodo. Others say, Ekaladerhan was born 2 hours before Eweka on the same day at different location but, the birth of Eweka was reported first to the palace and it was recorded thus without taking due cognizance of reasons given by Ekaladerhan mother on why the news bearer came late. That itself cannot be a justified reason why a formally reported birth will be cancelled because someone came later to say I was first but could not get to the palace on time or same day. This angered Ekaladerhan who could not bear to remain in a Kingdom where his younger brother has been made a king and he left. He was a great mystic. The two sons Eweka and Ekaladerhan were at longer heads. Ekaladerhan left Benin Kingdom with some followers to far south west to establish his Kingdom which he named Ilefe
Now, this is completely false, it is a fiction. This theory was manufactured lately when Oba Erediauwa discovered the implication of the illegitimacy surrounding the birth of Oba Eweka I in which Orominyan allegedly pregnanted Princess Erhinmwinde without fulfilling the marriage customs and traditions of the Binis, so this was manufactured to make it look as if Oba Eweka I was a legitimate child of Ogiso Owodo. This is nothing but a hoax. As it is now, the Binis has no correct history. Binis history has been so distorted and corrupted by Oba Erediauwa in their favour to the detriment of the aborigines. The decision to manufacture this fake theory became necessary because of the perceived disrespectful attitude of some closed Bini aborigines to the Oba Eweka dynasty who are not happy and comfortable with the illegitimacy of Oba Eweka dynasty which makes them feel more superior being an aborigine Binis, than the Oba Eweka dynasty that was born through illicit sex and illegitimate marriage more especially as Orominyan had other children through legitimate marriage. To forestall any revolution against them in future by the aborigine Binis the need to manufacture this false theory became necessary; the focus is also aimed at dispelling the unique and distinct royal position of The Great Ogiamien Royal Family thus established their stay permanently in Bini. Besides, if you meet any elderly person between the ages of 70 and 80 in Bini, you will be shocked to hear that Ekaladerhan story was not included in the early history of Igodomigodo they were taught in the primary and secondary schools but that the theory of Ekaladerhan was introduced into Bini history in the early nineteenth century, the source they dont know but we are happy with Odia Ofeimun and his co-history contractors on the payroll of Oba of Benin for this wonderful revelation. As at that time Ogiso Erebo was shouting amien oba vbe edo ogie amien vbe edo, because it was really strange then to the aborigine Binis and none of the aborigine Bini corrected Ogiso Erebo then why is it that almost a thousand year thereafter, hungry hireling historians and history contractors on the pay roll of Oba Erediauwa started saying different story alleging that the theory “Oba which was strange and still remain strange to the aborigine Binis up till today was part of the Bini people from time immemorial? This is completely false and a hoax.
OBAGODO THEORY: This was another fake theory concocted by Oba Erediauwa. According to Uwagboe Ogieva, one of the history contractors employed by Oba Erediauwa to destroy Bini History, in his attempt to change Red colour to Green colour on a day light, in his Book: Great Benin People And Civilization posted on the Internet by Otedo News Update said:
That the word or title OBA has always been in use as a title for the king or ruler in Benin Kingdom. The 1st Ogiso was Igodo and was titled Oba Igodo or Obagodo, meaning the leader of Igodomigodo.
You are very on point. Oba Erediauwa committed 21st century historic fraud.
Erediawa changed the history and they we have problem for that in future, despite of them winning the supreme court judgement over the oborigin of ogiso land and oramiyan instruction.
please who was the father of Ikaladeran.
JEZEBEL, THERE WAS NO EKALADERAN. ODUDUWA WAS NEVER IZODUWA. THE IGODOMIGODO PEOPLE HAD NO RAPPORT WITH IFE UNTILL OROMIYAN INVADED BENIN. OROMIYAN IS GRANDSON TO ODUDUWA. NOBODY IN IFE CAN CONFIRM THE STORIES OF THE OBA. ODUDUWA HAD ONE SON AND HE WAS DEAD BEFORE OROMIYAN INVADED BENIN. 950 YRS AGO IT WOULD TAKEN EKALADERAN 20 YRS TO MOVE FROM BENIN AND CONQUERE IFE. THE DISTANC, THE LANGUAGE, THE WILD FOREST..... HISTORY HAS IT THAT OROMIYAN REIGNED AROUND 1300 AD 100 YRS BEFORE THE PORTUGUES ARRIVAL. ITS EASY TO UNDERSTAND BENIN HISTORY FROM THAT TIME.
ekaladeran never existed so stoped asking questions without answers.

Oba Of Benin Visits Ooni Of Ife
The Oba of Benin Oba Ewuare II on Saturday visited the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The Ooni received the revered monarch at his Enuwa Palace in Ile-Ife. Both traditional rulers also paid a courtesy visit to Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
Oba Ewuare II’s visit marks the first time in 37 years that an Oba of Benin is visiting Ile-Ife.
Prior to Saturday’s visit, Oba Ereduiwa’s visit in 1981 was the last visit by an Oba of Benin to Ile-Ife.
Oba Ewuare II is expected to visit some significant places including the Oranmiyan groove.
The renowned author of A Short History of Benin, Jacob Egharevba on p9 recalled:
At his death, Eweka The First, the oba of benin left a strong order that his remains must be taken to Ife to be buried with his father and this order was carried out accordingly. Since then the remains of the Oba of Benin were taken to Ife
This directive which speaks volumes in African Culture, confirms that Oba Eweka dynasty migrated from ileife.
Another great historian Professor P. A. Igbafe, speaking on the Ekiokpagha Treaty which divided Igodomigodo into two in his book, Benin Under Colonial Administration said what we normally call the historian supreme court verdict on the supremacy between the Great Ogiamien Royal Family and the Oba Eweka Dynasty. Hear him:
'The belief that land belongs to the Oba is a mistaken conception of the theory of Benin land tenure. In reality It is difficult to see how they could make such claims vis-à-vis the customary presents which each Oba sent to the Ogiame (sic) on occasion in acknowledgement of the permission granted to the founder of the present dynasty to settle on a foreign soil.
The word foreign soil there speaks volumes.
This is one of the the reasons Oba square ll went to visit the current ooni of I've to reunite with his original source.
This again confirmed that Owodo had no child and that the theory of Ekaladerhan is actually a hogwash to cover up their invasion and establish their stay in Bini.
The immediate past Ooni of Ife, Late Oba Okunade Sijuade also confirmed this in an interview with the Daily Sun Newspaper Tuesday May 4th 2004 on page 10:
Since Oranmiya dynasty started in Benin, all the heads of the Obas on demise were buried in Ife in a sacred place called Orun-Oba-Ado up till the year 1900. Records in the archives made it clear that since 1191AD, the Ooni of Ife had to be informed and clearance must be given by him on the new Oba of Benin to be installed up to 1916
That is the orominya groove Oba ewuare ll went to inspect.
To me I commend his bold steps. I pray that the visit will open up many hidden secrets to him and will help him to know the true relationship between the oba eweka dynasty and the indigenous people of igodomigodo on one hand and the great Ogiamien Royal family on the other hand.
This people are Criminals ,why cant them start from Ikaladerhan ,let them tell us how Ikaladerhan left Bini and who was him if they really want to tell us history, this is just rubish .i sorry for people that believe this forged story .
BETTER YOU READ YOUR BOOK WELL.

Ogiamen family is still maintaining bthe rule of second son. The first son is always the Uzama and the last son is always the Oliha. So Uzama disagrees with king and oliha crowns. Oliha also installs Uzama Utantan.
You are getting the narratives wrong. There is no title like the Uzama of Utantan. What we have is the Ogiamien of Utantan replacing the Ogiso of Igodomigodo and the Uzama is the ohen Evian Ni Iyeke Ogba.

My question is where is osawegie ogiamien, if is died he have children's before he pass away so let his son come out to represent the position.
He is missing suspected dead . it is believed by some people who want the Ogiamien throne vacant. So the fact that the Ogiamien is the Obas lessor ( Landlord) hidden. That's y these people are raking this step to set Benin history straight
Having seriously consider this video as an historian myself, I think a huge chunk of Benin History has been distorted by these 4 gentlemen. Though there may be disagreement between the Oba of Benin and the Ogiamen family, but when trying to correct the wrong that may have occurred from any quarter don't use distortions to buttress your claims. These are the distortions:
1, Ikhaladeran was a son of one of the Ogiso who allegedly changed his name to Idoduwa to hide his Identity from those who wanted him dead in Igodomigodo and later founded Ile Ife
2. These 4 gentleman did not mention the interregnum in Igodomigodo that led to the search of Ikhaladeran, that was the link between Ile Ife and Igodomigodo before it was named by Oromiyan as Ile Ibinu 👉 the land of vexation
The 4 gentleman did not tell us how Oba Eweka defeated Ogiamen in a battle that finally sent the last remnants (regents who ruled Igodomigodo during the interregnum) of the Ogiso dynasty within Igodomigodo out of the corridors of power.
4. Those documents they tender are now ceremonial and that does not give them rights to rule over Benin kingdom, I do not see any sane Benin person in this millennium that will switch their allegiance from the Oba of Benin to the Ogiamen family.
Why didn't the Ogiamen correct this claim 700 years ago? Why are they saying this now in 2018? These are the critical questions you should be asking them.
***Please note, I am just correcting the errors that I have identified here, no ill feelings intended.
Frank that is your thinking. We are the Ogiso's and so if There was a Ekaladeran we should know batter than the Oba and yourself. The fact that you people can dispute the birth of Oromiyan with the yorubas shpuld tell you something is missing... Can you defeat a man and run away? Oromiyan ran away... Ewedo could't have won a war and became submissive in the treaty... lets wait for the supreme court. You don't know Benin..... The Invasion will tell you the Benin of the of Benin. watch it. Your statements here is contrary to the OBa's claims. He said since 1979,,,
talk2me9ja I don't want to assume anything, please could you tell me where and how the name Benin or Benin Kingdom originated from?
What is Ibinu in Yoruba language? It means vex or Angry.
talk2me9ja Many events and activities of history are very difficult to correct or control after many centuries. The Romans for instance once dominated Britain and left their architecture and defendants there. At the time Jesus' parents took political asylum in Egypt, the Pharoah Egypt was a black man, the same way these four chiefs who claim to know the history of Benin Kingdom more that their ancestors who submitted to the political and religious dominance of the Oba of Benin many centuries ago are here trying to distort the history of Benin Kingdom.
These men would have been executed for treason 150yrs ago when Benin Kingdom was absolute monarch without interference from Britain or Abuja.
They can't change history, it's too late.
talk2me9ja. go to the court and ask them why ogiamien defeated the Oba at the high court. what makes you intellingent when you dabble into a case you have no minimum idea about. go and see the papers your oba filed before talking.
mrc frank, you are a quack historian. show me how the Ogiamien territory got connections with the invasion of Benin? You don't even know the what your Oba is claiming.
Complete nonsense
OSASUYI I HOPE YOU DON'T WANT THE CURSE OF OGISO OGIAMIEN EREBOR AND OBA EWEDO TO STRIKE YOU LIKE EREDIAUWA AND EWUARE. THEY ARE CONDEMED TO HAVING SEX WITH THIER FAMILIES FOR VIOLATING THE EKIOKPAGHA TREATY.

You are very on point. Oba Erediauwa committed 21st century historic fraud.
This oba of Benin can lie oduduwa dead meany years ago before the birth of oromihan. Oromihan was the 6th oni of ife and the great grandson of oduduwa. How who now come take meet oduduwa when done die 200years ago and how oduduwa come take give who now oromihan.this Benin people where the only tribe in igodomigodo land that accepted oromihan and his juju he brought from ife and they also took oath that there children unborn and generation's will remain slaves to oromihan dynasty.there is a parable in Benin that says a slave can never be king so they should tell us who are the slaves and who are the kings family. They also introduce greetings to differentiate their families from the slaves. This Benin people are slaves and always worship there oppressors they will always be slaves to the oba because of the oath their great grandfathers have taken. They know the truth but they are scared to say it because there parents belong to all the secret cult group brought by the family of the oba of Benin they will rather remain slaves...
Interesting story life, but I ask if the present day Binis are truly from Ife or tenants like you just said, so why are they speaking your language? I believe they should be speaking Yoruba, Yes nobody is disputing your office as the Ogieamen of Utantan, because history has it that you were just given the office (caretaker) which I see as a form of compensation
Then we Oromiyon came then he has to leave
Because you can't tell me a foreigner came to your land and your people accepted him and started helping him fight their father, meh that's a big lie naa
THE OBA OF BENIN BINIS ARE FROM IFE. THE OGIAMIEN REPRESENTS THE OGISO DYNASTY... THE OGIAMIEN WAS NEVER A CARETAKER RATHER THE OGIAMIEN IS THE OGISO.
THE OBA AND HIS FAMILY AND SEVERAL FAMILIES ARE OF YORUBA LINEAGE AND THE OGIAMIEN OGISO ARE THE OWNERS OF THE LAND.

Avian the father ogiame who was choosing as administrator to lead the people during search for ikaladaran and when he passed away ogiame his son wanted to replace his father but the Benin chief said no because you're not having blue blood and cannot become a king. The regression science saw oranmiyan as grand son of Owodo son of ekaladatan the exile Prince who became the ooni of ife.
You should read, listen and think before you make any statement. Oduduwa was 300 yrs older than Oranmiyan, can't you see your Oba is hiding something from you. Evian not Avian was the younger brother of Ogiso Owodo. Its unfortunate most of you have no capacity read well and write welll
WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT SOKPONBA MEANS AND ITS A ROAD SITUATED WHERE THE OGIAMIEN'S PALACE IS BEEN BUILT, SO HOW COME? PLS MAKE IT CLEAR TO US THANK YOU.....
The Road Sakponba was called Utantan road in senglish meaning Broad Road or street. It was changed to Sakponba in 1941. The oba of Benin is a foreigner a Yoruba man whose ancestors invaded Benin and began to administer oath of allegiance on the natives in the section they conquered.
Journalists: Lets come back to the memorable Ekiokpagha Treaty especially the stanza which place death penalty on any of the defaulter, now has there been any defaulter.
Monday Wehere: On our part, we have not defaulted. But on their part they have tried and they always die. In fact they have not actually enjoyed that seat. Dont worry I will do a story on what and what they have suffered since they forcefully took the Ogiso Ark from Ogiamien Ode in exchange of the Ekiokpagha Treaty in 1255AD. But to answer your question directly, that stanza:
A sanction of death penalty was placed for anyone that violates any part of this Treaty.
Shows that Oba Eweka dynasty has no relationship whatsoever with the aborigine Binis. How can a man who came to ascend his ancestral throne be made to sign a death warrant that if he violates the terms and conditions of Ekiokpagha Treaty, he will die. It means he is a stranger, and foreigner. This is why Oba Erediauwa is trying to do everything human possible to circumvent it but they will not succeed because the present descendants of the Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty are more serious, educated, wealthy, exposed, experienced and ready to die to protect their fathers name. They have mapped out evil strategies against us during the coronation of the new Oba of Benin. They have concluded plans to kill some of the dramatis personae on our side such as our King His Imperial Majesty Rich Arisco Osemwengie JP, the Ogiamien of Utantan-Bini, the King of the entire Abogirine Binis; HRM Joseph Amiengbivie Uzama Ohen Evian; HRH Patrick Oliha-Oliha Ogiamien, Prof. Tony Ogiamien Founder/President, American Heritage Southern University, California, Teddy G. Ogiamien President, Evian/Ogiamien Reunion World, and my good self High Chief Esotericist Monday JP, PEIC, Ogiamien Trumpet and Consultant, Evian Renaissance Movement. We have told our children of these satanic plans against us and we have also told them what to do in the event that they carry out their satanic plans against us.
Journalists: What of his assertions that the word Oba is indigenous to Benin?
Monday Wehere: But I have refuted this on this interview earlier. However, this is completely false too. The word Oba is indigenous to the Yoruba. Because it is a strange concept to the Binis, when Ogiso Erebo started shouting amien oba vbe edo, Ogie amine vbe edo and because it was really strange and news worthy in 12th century AD ago, it took over the Ogiso title hence Ogiamien. This was one of the theories they also manufactured to cover up their invasion which they called OBAGODO. I have already spoken more on this.
So Esogan lied and I continue to wonder why people of that age are lying over things that they cannot back up with facts.
Journalists: But they promised to show the Yorubas the landmarks which confirm that the Ooni of Ife is the son of the fake Ekaladerhan the son of the 31st Ogiso of Igodomigodo?
Monday Wehere: Dont mind them they dont have any land mark in fact the Yorubas even have more landmarks to show to them. Referring to Late Oba Aderemi Adesoji, the then Ooni of Ife who first classified the Yoruba Monarchs, Alake of Egbaland said in the Guardian of Tuesday March 15th 2016:
The then Ooni of Ife did, at the Central Native Council meeting which was chaired by the Governor-General, His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, MD, RCMG, CR at Government House, Lagos in 1937. Those in attendance included the Ooni of Ife, Alafin of Oyo, Oba of Benin, Alake of Abeokuta, and Awujale of Ijebu-Ode
This meeting was arranged by the then Ooni of Ife. Oba Akenzua II the father of Oba Erediauwa who was in attendance did not raise any objection when he was classified as No. 3
If they are sincere and honest in their claims, why did Oba Eweka not take on the title of Ogiso Eweka instead of Oba Eweka and why did Oba Eweka beg that his corpse be taken to Ife-Ife to be buried with his father. You know what that means in Africa culture.
Journalists: Who are the aborigines Binis because we felt it is going to be very difficult to identify who is an aborigine Bini?
Monday Wehere: See! That is one of the evils Oba Erediauwa did to the aborigine Binis. He deliberately created the scenario where it will be difficult to identify who are the aborigine Binis to save their eviction from Benin Kingdom in future. But despite his devilish intention, we know ourselves. We know the Bini aborigines. See! Even in the United States of America, India, Britain, France, there are still the aborigines. They know themselves. In the case of Bini, historically, let us take the descendants of those villages, communities Jacob Egharevba referred to as the aborigines and these villages according to Jacob Egharevba which existed before the coming of the Oba Eweka dynasty are:
Ihimwirin, Avbiama, Oka, Idogbo, Utesi, Ogua, Urhoho, Ute, Esi, Eyaen, Aho, Irighon, Azagba, Igo, Egbator, Ughoton, Udo, Esi, Okha, Umoghumwun, Orogho, Uhen, Okenuhen (Okeluse), Okhumwun, Ikoha, Use, Ego, Ekho, Ebue, Irokhin, Udeni, Erua, ugha, Orhua, Urhuekpen, Amagba, Ugbeu, Evbuekoi, Ekhua, Ogan, Isua, Uhi, Ekae, Uzeghudu, Iyowa, Omin, Ikoka, Iyekeze, Ogba, Ogbokhirima, Okuo, Owe, Ominara, Unuame, Ugolo, Ikpako, Uhogua, Ayen, Orio, Uwan, Egbaen, Idumwonwina, Ohovbe, Ogheghe, Uvbe, Ite, Iguobe and Izikhiri
monday wehere mAyr
monday wehere am confused and willing to learn, my question is : If u say Oba Erediawa concocted the story of ekaladeran how come my grand father who is 98 years now never told us a different story ? He is from izikhiri too and how come there is no significant difference between the aboriginal bini n the new binis? Who also told them your history such that they could combine urs with theirs so well ? Please enlighten me
Sir go back and get some good backup
Where is the Young Boy, than in 1979??? What Happens to him. Pls Tell US!!!
ask the Oba of Benin and Bob Izzua
Don't worry God Himself will decide who is who.
Journalists: Your people are not comfortable with the governor of Edo state, they are alleging that he is supporting Oba of Benin to suppress and oppress your family?
Monday Wehere: Yes! We are not comfortable. The painful aspect of the drama is that the governor of Edo state, Gov. Adams Oshiomhole is our son. His fore fathers are our children the direct descendants of the Ogiso dynasty who left Bini during the invasion to establish what is today known as the Etsako the birth place of Gov. Adams Oshiomhole. But just because of political reasons, he Adams Oshiomhole is now supporting the invaders, foreigners to kill, suppress and oppress his blood brethren. That is the negative side of powers.
Journalists: Do you think he is aware of this secret that he is the descendant of the aborigine Binis?
Monday Wehere: Initially, he did not know, but as of now, he is fully aware of his relationship with us. That is why he is somehow very careful on the matter. The truth is that he has gone too far with the Oba of Benin. They are in the same political party. They should be praying that APC wins the governorship election otherwise..hymmmm I just de laugh for one corner according to former President OBJ.
Journalists: Finally, what is your reactions to the two page advertorial in the Vanguard of 2nd March 2016 authored by one Odia Ofeimun and the interview granted to the New Telegraph of 4th March 2016 where Chief John Osamede insulted and accused Ogiamien Family of fomenting crisis in Benin.
Monday Wehere: All what I have been saying since are in respect of the two publications you just mentioned. I have virtually reacted to all the contents of those publications, except there are some specific areas you want me to talk about then you can draw my attention to those areas. If they want us to stop exposing and ridiculing them then they should stop talking but if they do, we will certainly react#
WHAT DID OGIAMEN FAMILY NOW WANT FROM OBA OF BENIN NOW ?
Impossible 2 captains can't be in same ship
Your Oba is not a captain and not a king by Nigerian customary laws. The Oba, Ogiamien, Emir, sultan Ooni are all first class chiefs by law.
THE OBA OF BENIN IS NOT A KING, THE OGIAMIEN OF UTANTAN IS NOT A KING. THEY ARE FIRST CLASS CHIEFS. SINCE MOST PEOPLE FROM BENIN TEND TO BELIEVE OBA EREDIUWA MAMAPUT STORIES. ASK IGBINEDION WHO SOLD AND GAVE HIM LAND APPROVALS FOR ALL THE LANDS HE BOUGHT ALONG THE SAPELE ROAD AXIS? OGIAMIEN. OGBEMUDIA COULD NOT TAKE A TITLE FROM A STRANGER CHIEF HENCE HE NEVER HAD TITLES. THE 1968 CHIEFTAINCY TITLE ACTS OF MIDWEST STATE WAS SIGNED BY DR S.O.OGBEMUDIA. OKPE. IYEKE ORHIONMWON ODION OBA NEDO.
GO TO IFE THE OBA OF BENIN SHRINE IS STILL THERE, EREDIAUWA WAS JUST A DISASTER TO BENIN. VERY GREEDY FOLK.HI S FATHER AKENZUA NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE OGIAMIEN. ..HIS NAME MEANS RUBBISH TO ME. HE SAID HE CAME TO RIGHT THE WRONGS OF THE BINIS AND YET HE STARTED MAKING LOVE TO HIS SISTERS. PRINCESS IKUOYEWMEN EWEKA IS THE MOTHER OF THE CURRENT OBA.....
Even though I disagree with you their point but Somethings they are very very true.
but why dis OGIAMEN FAMILY WAITED SO LONG BEFORE THEY STARTED FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHT ?
@Eleduma..They did not know what Erediuwa did earlier because all along they thought things were the way they should be and soon as the truth came out they started fighting which is the right thing to do.
It seems to me you are Yoruba and if you are then good because you will be able to explain to this awon Omo Ile ibinu that are denying their Yoruba ancestry now claiming the Yorubas and Oduduwa migrated from them..This is the name of their present Oba..OMO OBA NI LE ADO OBA E..W..U..A..R..E.
O..G..I..D..I..G..A..N
EWUARE NI SE LO GIDIGAN. Need I say more
The heir apparent to their throne assumes this title of USELU(from the Yoruba word O SE LU)and guess what his title is EDAINIKEN which is simply..E DAI NI KE YUN.
And yet the fools are denying their Yoruba ancestry and claiming yorubas migrated from them..LOL
In Benin Kingdom, we only recognised one Oba. No need to start making any trouble, you can work with the Oba ,to develop the Edo state.
The real origin of Bini is from Igodomigodo.
