Cire80:Point of correction! The title "OVIE" did not originate from '"OVBIE", rather it came from the Edo word "OGIE" meaning "KING". 1 Like |

Kirigidi:Yes, I've stayed in many Urhobo towns and it's the most significant and powerful cult in all Edo and Delta groups. The mode of worship in Urhobo and Anioma is exactly the same. They play the same role in the Kingdoms, the same dance pattern, the same Ododo color and white chalk. I've personally gone to watch the Ihenre Olukun in many Edo and Delta ethnic groups and they're all exactly the same thing. The same everything |

Kirigidi:Yes, we've settled that. That postulations was made by an Edo man. He probably didn't know, I can't tell. But the Ogie version makes more sense. |

Cire80: It's important to know that a lot of Bini people/Edoid groups migrated to Anioma and settled with the original Igbo of these places, hence the occurrence of some Bini names and few remnants. |

God forbid. Let me make something clear edo has nothing to do with those people. They are simply conquered people and yes some if not most were slaves to the Benin kingdom so it's normal for them to adopt our cultural dressings and history. It irritates me to watch them dress like us and bear our names but what can I do? Ika, anioma, igbanke or whatever, they're all igbos to me. Same with onitsha people they are igbos to me. The obi of onitsha however has Benin blood in him, he can claim Benin descent but not his people whom he met there, those ones are igbos. Igbos now dress like Benin oba, they even say "ise" as amen thanks to Benin influence. They have no culture and no king, no history either. Our bronze snail shell dug up in abia state is what they have as proof of their civilisation, not knowing abia was a conquered land and was under the Benin kingdom you can research on that. How I wish they can stop trying to assert themselves into our history. Same with that yoruba idiot that thinks you're a Benin man when you're obviously yoruba. I've never heard a Benin man call himself yoruba unless he is drunk. Let Nigeria quickly dissolve so my people can be free. It was a curse to place civilised people in the midst of animals. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Oba of Bini is tantamount to village headmaster. Ordinary Eze Igbo of Jalingo is far more prominent that that small stool called oba of bini. |

GodIsBiafran:you must be an idiot, how Benin is a small stool is what I don't understand you guys tend to ignorantly mistake the city for the kingdom. You are not aware that there are several other Benin speaking villages and towns that makes up Edo south which the Benins are overwhelmingly domiciled in. I wish to educate that Edo south is made up of seven local government and it is two times bigger than anambra with 10700kilometres2 stretch. Sometimes when you say Benin is small I wonder how!. Hate him or love him, HE is the biggest traditional ruler from the south of Nigeria, he controlled more territories precolonially, and he is the most respected ruler from the south of Nigeria. There are only two monarchs in Nigeria, the sultan of sokoto from the north and the Oba of Benin from the south. This is a statement of fact and history!. 4 Likes 1 Share |
