cbrass:EWEKa is d son of oranmiyan and a eghor lady, oramiyan is d grandson or son of oduduwa(depending on d version u read) who d binis believe is a son of ogiso owodo. In sumary, ogiso owodo begat prince elekaderan aka izoduwa aka oduduwa, (who begat okanbi as only son according to a yoruba version) who begat oranmiyan (who became king in bini even though he didnt live in d town, 1st alafin of oyo and later ooni of ife), who begat eweka. 2 Likes |

Ubenedictus: you are leaving out vital information sir you didn't mention that ogiso Owodo was banished, he didn't die on the throne his family member Evian was appointed to rule Bini (although without the title Ogiso but simply Ogie), he held firmly to power that he wanted his son to take after him at his dying moment but the Edionisen (now Uzama chiefs) rejected his son and went to Ife to seek guidance. .. Oranmiyan was that guidance but the fact that despite the support of the Edionisen Oranmiyan couldn't rule Bini as Ogiso means that the Ogiso dynasty was already dead if Oranmiyan was a descendant of Owodo he could have taken the title "Ogiso" infact Oranmiyan was less than Ogiamien, because the later controlled Bini. Oranmiyan had to build Usama as his capital with the Edionisen who never treated him like a king, they struggled power with him and his descendants until Oba Ewedo(Great grandson of Oranmiyan), all this made him leave Bini in anger. meanwhile the main city was still striving with the major population behind Ogiamien this is similar to the case of Ewuare and Uwaifiokun, Ewuare was the rightful king but the Edionisen supported His Junior brother and made the junior king, if not that Ewuare was stubborn enough to fight till the end so the hostile attitude against Ogiamien might not be because he wasn't the rightful king but just that the Edionisen didn't like him. if ogiemien isn't the rightful king why does Oba need to rent land from him? this rent Oba Ewedo did despite defeating his army, in a battle to enter the main city, if Ogiamien was ever under the Oba the position should have been abolished by the Oba knowing that two kings cannot reign in one kingdom. Today Ogiamien is a king in his own right and grand landlord of Benin kingdom similar to Lagos where Aromire who is the landlord of the land oba of Lagos rules as king 3 Likes 1 Share |

OlaoChi: Mehnn....so where was all the lies we have been hearing these days come from |
Re: Family Of Late Oba Of Benin Are Tenants In The Kingdom-ogiamen Family by Ubenedictus(m): 4:33pm On May 29, 2016 |
OlaoChi:not necessarily. Oramiyyan was born in ife, his idea of rulership will be that of ife, he wwill have little appreciation for the ogiso system and even less appreciation for a mere title, especiallyy as the ogiamien locked him out of the city. His inability to adapt to his new realitties wwas what made him run away. infact Oranmiyan was less than Ogiamien, because the later controlled Bini. Oranmiyan had to build Usama as his capital with the Edionisen who never treated him like a king, they struggled power with him and his descendants until Oba Ewedo(Great grandson of Oranmiyan), all this made him leave Bini in anger.pls who told you the major population wwas behind d ogiamien? The population was in the ccity because that is where they have always lived that is where they have heir homes, where they work etc. The ogiamen simply took posession of d aparatus of govenance as administrator, evian was also a local hero and with d military behind him he could keep oramiyan out for as long as he like. But the will of the people won at the end, the people rallied round eweka and joined in fighting d ogiamien hence he took a treaty and retired to a small village. so the hostile attitude against Ogiamien might not be because he wasn't the rightful king but just that the Edionisen didn't like him.not true. Eweka defeated d ogiamien in battle but the war didnt end, it was going to become a long civil war with guerilla tactic anyybody could see it wasnt helping anyone, the only result will be huge lose of lives, it wwas the edionisen who decided the best way to checkmate a civil war was a form a treaty. ogiamien ofcuz claimed evian could confer kingship and so claim benin belongs to him, but the reality wwas tthat his supporters were few as people didnt recognise him as d true ruler he ccouldnt keep benin butt he had to save his pride hence d terms of the truce. Because he claims his father confers kingship on him then he must compulsorily ceed the land to each successive king for a palstry sum, he cant change the sum or renogotiate it, that way is pride remains and the war ends. in reality he was onlyy an adminirator neverd owner. The reason he has a land to control is bcause evian was a ruler, he was an ogie even before he was an administrator just like d ogie of eghor, so after the treaty and war he returned back to hisas kem now called utantan. |

Ubenedictus: thank you for your comment. Pls take notice of the emboldened, it shows that Oranmiyan had no regard for the ogiso, but was all high heavens for Obaship with this one Cannot return to link ogiso dynasty with oba dynasty. I still wonder why Edo like to link two unrelated dynasties... oh I get it, it's all in a bid to play supremacy games 3 Likes 2 Shares |

OlaoChi:Becos the bini believe blood is a powerful. Oramiyan may not have appreciated d complex bini government, culture, or social stuff and title, infact the last ogiso was unpopular, but all that not withstanding he is a desendant of the ogiso and so links both dynasties. Blood is a powerful link for d binis. |

Re: Family Of Late Oba Of Benin Are Tenants In The Kingdom-ogiamen Family by Ubenedictus(m): 8:59am On Jun 05, 2016 |
OlaoChi:just as there is no record of oduduwwa jumping down from the sky, no is there record of shongo, osun, etc, all anybody has are oral traditions passed on from generation to generation. the bini tradition says oranmiya descended from oduduwa d son of owwodo, the yoruba tradition says oduduwwa fell from the ssky. I know the one which is more probable and the one that sounds false. |
Re: Family Of Late Oba Of Benin Are Tenants In The Kingdom-ogiamen Family by OlaoChi: 3:55pm On Jun 05, 2016 |
Ubenedictus: but it's been cleared out already that Yoruba tales have mythical and historical sides to one character so oduduwa coming from the sky is mythical for religious purposes just like bini say euare wrestled olokun underwater for 7days or so or ogiso came from the sky or how oba owns all the lands in the world and sold the land of the white men to the white men. myths are known to be crazy. but historically oduduwa came from the northeast, that is not in the direction of Bini there's record of Sango in his house at Koso, His clothes, drums, ose Sango and all that. if oral traditions are challenged then you need evidence to back the oral traditions. besides what you are saying isn't oral tradition but a recent tale, can't be older than 1963, if it's up to that, cus everyone believes oba Erediuwa invented the Ekaladerhan - oduduwa connection 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Ubenedictus: will you keep quiet! oranmiyan descendant of Owodo? you can lie oranmiyan was the last son of Oduduwa. and oduduwa before becoming Ooni was a local yoruba man living with his clan on the hill called Oke-Ora at the outskirts of Ile-Ife towards Ijesa. your ignorance in Yoruba history coupled with the fact that many yoruba due to not being brought up the traditional way don't know core historical details, makes you cook up all sorts of fantasies and call them yoruba history. you should be making research on where your prince elekaderan died 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Brilliant thought. Lol!!! Funny dude. Forget Arisco the self acclaimed decedant of Ogiso. Their fore-father Evian was a regent who wanted to claim the throne and as far as the Bini's are concerned they are insignificant. As for Ile-Ife, the Bini's hold that land sacred because the founder was their son. They never attacked but protected that land, although NL Yoruba revisionist wont understand. 1 Like 1 Share |

IMAGINATION CAN HELP. A CHINESE MAN IS MADE KING BY THE ORACLE IN A SMALL TOWN OF 100,000. HE THEN WENT BACK AND BROUGHT 50,000 CHINESE TO HELP HIM RULE, FROM THERE THEY EXTENDED THE SMALL TOWN INTO A CHINESE EMPIRE COVERING 1000 TIMES THE AREA OF THE SMALL VILLAGE. THEY USE CHINESE AS LINGUA FRANCA AND RELATE WITH CHINA. THEY SET UP NEW TOWNS WITH CHINESE NAMES AND BECAME AN EMPIRE OF 10 MILLION WITH CHINESE AS LINGUA FRANCA UNTIL THE EMPIRE COLLAPSED AFTER A FEW CENTURIES AND THE CAPITAL WAS OVERWHELMED BY DESCENDANTS OF THE ORIGINAL LANDOWNERS WHO LIVE IN THE SUBURBS. THEY THEN STARTED TO WRITE OUT THE CHINESE FROM THEIR HISTORY!. 1 Like |

Oduduwaa:.THERE IS NOTHING TRUE ABOUT THE FALSIFIED LIES BEING PEDDLED ALL AROUND BY THESE PEOPLE CALLING ODUA, A FAKE NAME CALLED EKERLADARAN, THERE IS AN INSCRIPTION ON OBELISK OF ORANMIYAN. RANGING FROM SCULPTURE,IRON SMELTING, BID MAKING, CLOTH WEAVING ARE ALL LEARNT FROM ILE IFE. THIS TESTIFY TO TRUTH ABOUT YORUBA BEING LEAD BY ODUA OUTSIDE YORUBA LAND. I REPEAT, ODUA HAD A CROWN CALLED “AARE" CROWN. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE NOT TO REMEMBER WHERE HE CAME FROM? THE PROGENITOR OF YORUBA'S NAME WAS ADUA, ADIMULA,, THE WORD OLU, JE' O BA (OBA) ISN'T IGODOMOGODO? OOFIN/AAFIN ISN'T BINI NAME, OGISO IS A FIVE LETTERS WORD SO EASY TO PRONOUNCE OR REMEMBER. HOW WAS IT THAT ODUA DIDN'T REMEMBER OR TO WANT TO VISIT HIS PLACE OF ORIGIN? IN THE WORLD RESEARCHING OF ETHNICITY, IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH HAD AQUIRED SO MANY PROPERTIES AND SUBJECTS e. g in the Bible as a case study, ESAU VISITING JACOB(IS' RA' EL) IN THE WORLD HISTORY OF ETHNICITY, THEY DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT BINI, EXCEPT AS IT REGARDS BINI LANGUAGE FROM GOING INTO EXTINCTION . THE WORLD RESEARCHERS IN THE PAST OR PRESENT DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THEM APART FROM THE THE BRITISH LOOTING THEIR ARTIFACTS IN THE DEAD OF 1890S . THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH MANY YORUBAS BECAUSE OF NONCHALANT ATTITUDE ABOUT OUR APPROACH TO OUR HISTORY. YET YORUBA IS THE MOST RESEARCHED ETHNICITY IN THE WORLD BEING DONE BY FOREIGNERS IN OUR BEHALF . THERE ARE FIVE ALIKE OF ORANMIYAN OBELISKS IN THE WORLD. DOES THIS HAVE A MEANING? IT HAS A MEANING BECAUSE THERE IS A HIEROGLYPH ON IT. DO BINI HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN IGODOMOGODO? NO, THEY DON'T. YET THEY WANT TO EQUATE YORUBA WITH BINI ON SAME LEVEL. STILL THE AMERICANS /EUROPEAN RESEARCHERS HAVE DONE SO MANY TREMENDOUS WORK ON YORUBA VIS A VIZ, LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL AND STILL CONTINUE TO SO DO. I HAVE NEVER SEEN “BINI"BEING MENTIONED IN ANY OF THESE RESEARCHES. 1 Like |

I LOVE EVERYBODY BUT MY ETHNICITY FIRST AND OTHERS FOLLOW. In that book, you will see certain words in similarities with Israel Biblical perspective's GOD concept from Genesis 1 creation. However, my opinion stand out as Bible isn't the final stop on archaeological related findings BUT EVIDENCE OF THOSE THINGS VIS A VIS RUBBLES, STRUCTURE, INSCRIPTION, TOMBS etc.........and it seems you didn't read my messages very well.

Oduduwaa:You are right, Edo history is well recorded by the Europeans... and what did the Europeans you call say about Bini history? As Bini told the Europeans, they owed a lot to Ife, the Bini arts were said to be influenced by Ife. The current wife of the Ooni is a descendant of Iguegha - an Artist sent from Ife to Bini to help build the Art Industry that made Bini popular to the Europeans. The Europeans recorded what Bini told them, nowhere was this Ekalederhan mentioned or was the Oba linked to the Ogisos, in fact in all European records of Bini history there is no mention of Ogisos 2 Likes 2 Shares |
