The previous Oba's name meant "I have come to bring prosperity to my people"
And as you can see, you dictionary has failed to give a meaning to that name.
FYI, I knew there was an Oba Ewuare hence the suffix "II".

EWUARE MEANS "PROGESS HAS COME"
Mr Stunner
Thank you.

Contrary to what you said, on Wikipedia, I found it means "trouble has ceased".

It's a controversial name to take up tho and has a lot attached to it.

Ewuare II
Wow! Interesting.
Ewuare I(alias Ogidigan) is considered the founder of The Ancient Benin Empire. He contributed immensely to the construction of the famous Benin walls(some say he started it,) for security reasons. A warrior King he was who started the expansion of the kingdom into other areas like Igboland(Western Igbo), and also Yorubaland thereby subsequently giving ancient Benin an imperial status.
Obas Esigie, Orhogbua and Ehengbuda, others, his descendants, who came after him will further expand the Empire more into the hinterlands to as far as Idah(Igalaland, present Kogi state) and coastwards, to Lagos and even beyond...

Uku Akpolokpolo, Omo n'Oba n'Edo

Ewuare II

May your reign be long and peaceful.

Oba gha to kpere. Ise!

Are you sure of the name, because from all i know, Ewuare was a great Oba of Benin and also a magician and his history was covered with industrialization, if is truly Ewuare he choose good things for Edo people.

Onitsha is and was never part of the so-called ancient empire.

Nnysher:
Onitsha is and was never part of the so-called ancient empire.
Yeah you're kindda correct because I've not seen any concrete proof that the Oba controlled Onitsha at any point in time. However, the point I'm driving at is that the Influences of the Benin Empire reached Onitsha during the glory days, the royal house of Onitsha(Of Ezechima if I'm not mistaken) and some families there can trace their origins to Benin(I don't think you'll dispute this fact).
Bros no be quarrel. Most parts of what is today western Igboland(Delta and Edo states) were at some point part of the old Benin Empire. It's no big deal. Not all of these places were conquered by warfare. This is history the way it is.
Moreover, I wasn't emphasizing the Imperial powers of Benin(which no longer exists anyway) but I was just appreciating the sophistication of these beautiful African societies. I was only identifying the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe who is conspicuously seated there among others, like some Urhobo(my ethnic group) Itsekiri, Ijaw even Yoruba monarchs.
Isn't it obvious enough that our cultural diversity didn't start today? I'm from the Niger-Delta and I really appreciate this. Let's appreciate this and celebrate with the Benin people.
Thanks wink
