Artefacts were looted as spoils of war which was the first intention disguised or purported to have come to trade with a forceful intent to sign a trade treaty to explore rubber resources for their Michelin Tyre industry just established in Britain at the time.
God and our Ancestors remain the ultimate Judge
Edo forgot things so easily 😢
Godwin Obaseki couldn’t have been governor of Edo State 😓. His forefather betrayed Oba and he also betrayed Edo😥. I’m in pain 🤦♂️
Benin kingdom fought and tried their best 😢 but the white were so much trickish
This is not just a movie. I was proud, I cried and felt all kinds of way. I wish I could join the fight. Very educative and yet award worthy
We are rob of our heritage now they are closing their gates at us from entering into our lands. They designed their cultures and name it religion and we Abaddon our culture and praises those that left us with shame.
Africa Will Be Great Again If We Have One Voice

I felt pains in my heart 😢... Now is the time when all the Benin Edo to come as one.. we need to defend our Land and built it just like our forefathers did. We must not let the white man inherited government break us and turn us down.. let make our kingdom great again and let there be Oba Ovoranmwen Day it should be a day we the binis Edo people shall remember our falling heros
Just finish watching this, i felt very bad, well there are things we can't do with our power, May God and our ancestors continue to protect and fight for us. Lessons learnt there's power in unity 💪 i wish the whole benins can come together as one again. Of a truth our ancestors were really great not the type of the youth we have these day that fight and focus on irrelevant things, one love my people and may God continue to bless our land.
HOW CAN THE DEAD WHICH IS CONSCIOUS OF NOTHING DO ANYTHING BUT, RIP?!? #Nopunintended but, your Bible please
The European came with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other hand. They are very tricky in their dealings.
You can just repeat again this white man their never likes us is about time we are the Africa to rise and demand our status in our land
On point. You said it all. Bible in one hand, him in the other.
I mean gun
Exactly what my history teacher said when I was in secondary school
@@pato9377 In pre colonial times Africans were very barbaric, even more cruel than the Europeans. In many parts of Africa, human sacrifices were almost a daily routine and in some parts killing of twins. Many powerful tribes raided weak tribes just to kill the men, then enslave the women and children of the weak tribe. Isn't that Africans colonizing Africans?. It's true the Europeans came with religion in one hand and the gun in the other, but under colonialism all those barbaric things Africans did were stamped out.
EDO TO THE WORLD
I really feel so bad for OBA OVORANMWEN. Oba gha tor kpere ise
I can't just imagine how though nd hectic it could be to put all the scenes together. My positive greetings to all the cast nd crew for their efforts. Let me nt also forget the Queen for her huge support.
am happy now that Edo is been displayed nd show all over the world. No wonder they say "Edo to D 🌏🍒
The White man has never been honest in their dealings with the people of colour. Most persons thought the massacre was just a win-win for them, using even conniving tribes against our people, while others saw it solely as a Benin problem. It was a fight to the finish line for the gallant men of the prestigious Benin. The capture of Benin kingdom was a ploy to pocket the present day Nigeria as we've seen as the years rolled by. My people decoded this many years ago, even during the trade between them
We Africans fight each other's 🥲
They was only able to defeat us because of their advanced and modernize weapon
Noooo.... they conquered our minds before the weapon, they were crafty and we trusted.
This is not just a simple movie, this is a piece of art.
Nice. I'm having an exam on it today. I am going to write with angér and emotions 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So na obaseki family fuck us up
Obaseki n other betraying tribes, nor be today e start
No actually what was going to happen was going to happen anyway Obaseki made the situation as smooth as possible
Same what he is doing today
Wahooo. Benin kingdom was really powerful
Foolishly black man is assisting them.😭😭
I swear instead of them to fight against them 😢
That black man is the forefather of present Edo state governor, that is governor Obaseki.
If he’s innocent doesn’t that mean everything was his give him back his stuff
Hunger took flight the moment the rain of fire began 😔 Says the OBA
With all these Pains and sorrow.... the deities Gods and goddesses of the land could not do anything???? I cried 😭😢
Obayuwana, Ologbosere, etc. gallant soldiers
Benin king remaining the most powerful King , and Benin will ramain the great,. If not that we was betrayed by the bastard chief obaseki the ancestor of that bastard governor or Benin gov obaseki. He was the one that told the Portuguese our secret to our spiritual power 😡😡😡😡 because of money. That's why we was committed of not. Up till now no one dare bring a fight to benin Christianity only weaken us .to be soft we left your powers behind.
Let the British or any country or tribe pray no one ever push us to embrace our ancestors and go back spiritually and forget Christianity the world will know why we are call an empire and little as we are . One Benin male tribe is more than 5 of any tribe we are born to lead wherever we are . We are born to rule.
Obaghato kpere iseeeeeee
Na White woman him later fall in love with…..mtcheeew, Black people no Dey ever learn lesson.
They claimed that Benin was using people as sacrifice, instead of calling it death penalty...yet western countries maintained their death penalty into the 20th century.
Don't deny it. Even one of you, Jacob Eghareba in his book A SHORT HISTORY OF BENIN made it clear that before the British punitive invasion of Benin, Benin carried out numerous human sacrifices when an Oba of Benin died and that many slaves were also sacrificed annually during ceremonies to appease natural forces. Jacob Eghareba also noted in his book that In 1897 many slaves in Benin were sacrificed before the arrival of the British soldiers, so that the fetish gods might assist the Benin people. I have seen a picture the British soldiers took in Benin, of a juju altar with so many human skulls.
I have seen some white people blame their ancestors for the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism. As Africans we should also blame our ancestors in areas they did badly.
@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz but the igbos are still involved in human sacrifice and cannibalism
@@DonatusOkechukwuOkoli-zc7nz no Benin scholar takes the works of Egharevba seriously, what he wrote was just a fairytale to his own pleasing not of actual history
The great Edo kingdom
We the Benin not get joy at all. We dey verse.
Our history can never be forgotten
We will continue to face our culture and tradition.
Oba Gha Tor Kpere. Isee 🤴 👑 🦁
I cried while watching this 😢😢😢
I hope Africa unity and fight and have freedom
How another people came to another people land and take over their properties
Oba gha tor kpere. Iseee. Touching but this is not the full story. The oba was not easily caught like it was showed. He displayed lots of bravery and gave himself willingly to save the people
I felt the pain our forefathers felt 😢
This is very painful history it all remind as how we black why are we so hated by white people what did do wronged them we never travel to their land

so sad but am happy things are good now people who died during the fight may their soul rest in peace and this is not jut a movie i cried while watching this sad story inform of a movie
May We Africans stop fighting on ourselves 🙏🏽
This is why till date, any agreement made with a Chinese man, if it is only in English and not translated into Chinese it isn’t binding when situations arise.
what wrong did we do to this colonial people
I felt so much pain in me watching this movie how I wish, but e no go happen again sha
Very true and touching
I called all the colonial masters to encourage peace love and better business partnerships in Africa especially the west Africa
Damn Can't Download This movie, 😡😡
Yeah
What happened to the gods of his ancestors?😢😢
Watching now
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Na why i know why Benin people like yahoo well well o
I swr benin and sapele leave yahoo for them
Obaseki is a traitor
Googs bump on my body
Wow😢😢
How on Earth the people of Benin knew English... lmao 😂
The Oba likely sent some to Lagos or England to act as ambassadors. They would have learned English from there.
As at then there was only an interpreter for the oba and for the people of benin which was obaseki and later betrayed his people and the king
They just spoke English so everyone can understand the movie
KG1 cannot ask this kind question you're watching a replica video of what happened at that time the great Benin empire governor obaseki grade
This though me about how outside thief steals what home thief steals from his brothers because Bini Kingdom also steals from his neighbours as well
We are the great Benin 💪💪
@@christypeso7008 I don't know how much you know the history of pre colonial Africa.
The greatest empire in sub Saharan Africa was the Zulu empire in today's South Africa. The Zulus were so powerful that they defeated the British at the BATTLE OF ISANDLWANA in January 1879. This was the only time the British were defeated by Africans.
The British had to bring a larger force to defeat the Zulus at the BATTLE OF ULUNDI in July 1879.
The Zulu King Cetshwayo was deposed and exiled.
The Asante empire in today's Ghana fought 5 different wars with the British; in 1824, 1863, 1874,1896 and 1900.
The Oyo empire extended to Ilorin, Kabba, Ogbomosho,Ibadan, Abeokuta, down to Benin republic and to the Atakpame mountains in Togo.
