I love Yoruba people but lets speak the facts Okay?
The Title "Ewuare no Ogidigan" is re-appearing in history for the 2nd time hence the "the 2nd " attached to it ......................it is not a Yoruba word ....Kindly consult your Archives or wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewuare It means the Great Warrior King! There are so many other words adapted by the Yoruba's like Eko[Camp] , Yaba(short form of Nosayaba)[what the Lord shines with] , Idumota[Otas Neighborhood], Idumagbo[Agbos Neighborhood]...................pls you honestly know these words dont have a yoruba meaning or you cantell me what these words mean in Yoruba! Have you ever wondered why the Oba of Ife is called OOni , Oba of Oyo AlaAfin and originally Oba of Lagos ,Eleko of Eko? I dont want to go into details ! The list goes on bro! we are not interested in any arguments! you can either learn or wallow in ..................... ! The choice is yours!!! If you are humble enough you can contact me and more will be revealed !

Stop saying what you dont know.

The word Oba is foreign to Benin people.

Oba just confirmed he is a descendant of oranmiyan

Oba Ewuare ll N'Ogidigan!

khato okpere Ise Ooo!!!

Shymm3xx:


Lol. They won't hear you, though - cos they're in denial.

Even the name "Ogidigan" looks Yoruba. Anyone with knowledge of Yoruba etymology needs to translate it (cc: macof).

Another Yoruba territory conquered via a Bini vagina - not war.

Yoruba sons doing great things.

God bless the new Oduduwa king.

Ogidigan is purely Bini. It means Great.

He just confirmed your claims man..
The name was leaked before he pronounced it. nothing is secret anymore afterall.

Haha, how is it a secret. So if a board meeting is done at your company and you are chosen as the new MD, won't workers know before the official announcement. Or don't you know your governor elect before swearing in ceremony ?

Your king just stood there before going to bow to my king and he stood there like a commoner, and held his stick of office .
.BornStunner1 we don shame dem. Haha
Proud Edo Boy, Benin in my blood

Even the ooni had to come watch how it is done

Lol! Kp deceiving urself. The funny thing is dt Yorubas & binis have never bn antagonistic towards each other in their history. They always saw each other as brothers. But these biafrauds bring strife into every conversation in order to spread their hateful propaganda.

Shymm3xx:


Lol. This isn;t about supremacy - just extending a hand in brotherhood.

Anyway, Olukun isn't a deity of Eastern Yoruba folks. It's more of an Ife and coastal Yoruba deity. [b]And since Bini is landlocked, [/b]the worship of Olukun either came directly from Ife or one of the coastal Yorubas. And I'm leaning towards Ife.

Evidently, if it's Ife - that adds credence to the Yoruba side of the story, just as the Ogiso family confirmed. Revisionism is a bad thing. At the end of the day, the same crown extended to Itsekiris, who're also mostly Yorubas in terms of ancestry.

Well, I guess that is a mistake. Benin is not made up of the city alone. Considering the reach of Benin Kingdom, it would be erroneous to say so.
In any case, Benin has many rivers. Ughoton/Gwatto that Europeans came through is a river port.

Olokun is at home in eastern Yorubaland & has been for centuries. Origin is not equal to only place it exists.

Who is waiting for who in Ile ife? No king is subject to any other king. I have great respect for the Oba of Benin & d great Benin kingdom.
They achieved a lot dt Nigerians as a whole should be proud of.

But u biafrauds need to mind ur business. Just because u have no history does not mean u poke nose into other pples culture

I am an ovbiedo kpataki, if you were enlightened you will not group the Edo people with biafra, this shows how ignorant you are of what you are even commenting on,please go back and read,stop showing your ignorance here for all to see, Oba ghatò òkperé, isé

back2sender:

Yes our Oba cannot do anyhow because he carries our trust, tradition, heritage and we Edos will die to defend our king because he is above chop chop egunje people Oba that abounds in Nigeria, OBAs that collect thier own share of dollars from the ineffectual baboon that run aground our economy.
My Oba cannot beg any man born of a woman or spirit or stoop low.
The OBA of Benin is the only n true OBA others are oba

HAHAHA THE ONE AN ONLY TRUE OBA OO

From the Title the new Oba of Benin assumed and the "Ogidigan" that follows it, he will be like his ancestor Oba Ewuare 1. It means he is no nonsense king and he will not tolerate the vices and crime that has become the norm in Benin Kingdom. The trouble makers like Chief Igbinedion would be advised to stay quiet and none of the excesses he did the last Oba will be tolerated.
I also fore see him confronting the British to return the loot of ancient Bini arts or pay reparations to the kingdom. I won't be surprised if he does that.

Long live the king,oba ewureii

The word oba isnt foreign to benin, the oba also confirm that oduduwa was an exiled benin prince. did u miss that part of d speech?

SEE SO CALLED EGYTIAN TRADITION. SAME PICS ON THE WALLS OF EGYPT

janellemonae:


Lol! The Oba of Benin just said in his speech ( if ur watching live on air), how he is a direct descendant of ofuduwa his father.

AND how oduduwa is from benin, why are u selecting his speech

Shymm3xx:


No correlation whatsoever. You can only make comparisons if this were about imposition.

Yorubas in general and Bini never went to war and neither subjugated the other, apart from tiny eastern Yoruba kingdoms. So, how come ya king does everything Yoruba? I know a bit about Olokun worship cos I read a lot about Afro-Brazilian history and their culture - and it's big over there. And Olokun is a Yoruba religion.

Yorubas and benins went to war, and olokun originated from benin. u should do ur research.

Doghe:


Ogidigan is purely Bini. It means Great.

Ogidi can be found in Yoruba.
The oriki of Ajayi is - Ajayi Ogidiolu abbl.
In colloquial Yoruba, Ogidigan= it's great.It's synonymous to the slang ogaragan.
Pronunciation might differ though.

Oba has been in use before the exiled Oduduwa(as you claim) got to Ife.
Who did Oduduwa meet at Ife?
Oba-tala.

Ogiso was original title for Benin rulers.

The Oba title came from Ile-Ife.

Ogiso Owodo was the last Ogiso of Igodomigodo(Benin Empire)

Oba Eweka I was the first Oba of Benin

FACTS ABOUT THE YORUBAS AKA AFONJAS


( 1 ) . Their story of
kingship began with Edo
prince and the Benin
recorded History .
( 2 ) . Ayayi crawder said,
little were know about
yoruba existence,
meaning they were not
part of Nigeria of today
boarder or were in small
settlement close to
dahomy. yoruba are half
muslims and those with
African traditions copied or got them from Benin
civilization . I doubt if they not immigrants from dahomy
mix with Benins or other fulani- hausa from Niger
. Bishop Samuel Adjayi Crowther (c . 1809 – 31
December 1891 ) Was the first African Anglican bishop
in Nigeria . Born in Osogun (in today's Iseyin Local
Government, Oyo State , Nigeria ) . His grandson was
Herbert Macaulay
( 3 ) . Yoruba have dublicity of kingship with the process
highly politized to being traditional . A system they try
copy from Benin but can 't get it real like the Benin
Kingdom. Edo Obaship is one of the most revered
institutions in the world because of the way it has
sustained its awesome prestige with strict and
meticulous attention to ancient traditions of valour ,
discipline and integrity . Edo chieftaincy titles cannot be
bought or conferred on non- indigenes or frivolously .
Every Edo chief performs a peculiarly sacred duty
and responsibility to the people of Edo. It does not make
sense , therefore , to think that a people who would not
and have never conferred their chieftaincy titles on non-
indigenes, would voluntarily invite , accept, or surrender
to non- indigenes as their kings . Due to celestial
origins , the Edo monarch cannot eat out and cannot be
diverted from full time palace duties to hustle
for contracts .
( 4 ) . Most of today
yoruba religion are
Benin Origin , Olokun ,
Ogun , Iha oguega (ifa ) ,
oronmila, Esago
(shango ) , Ayelala etc .
Many Benin traditions
and spirituality are
stillfully documented by
yorubas in high places
as YORUBA ? (Never mind the Edo man ' s christian
mindset quickly dening Edo have niothing to do with
African traditional religion , agreeing they are foriegn to
Edoland . . . LIE ) .
Although the Great Edo ( Benin ) Kingdom were not major
participants in the trans- Atlantic slave trade , because
the Obas (Kings ) believed that their subjects were too
valuable to sell away , and their noblemen had need of
war captives on their own farms , the influence of Edo
religion and medicine has still been substantial upon
the people of the Americas .
According to Mason (1996 ) , it has been widely
accepted that Olokun ( god of the sea ) worship
originated with the Edo and spread to the Yoruba ( p. 2) .
In fact, the most prominent part of Edo cultural
traditions that has made its mark in the New World is
Olokun worship. Olokun (god of the Waters ) worship
originated from Urhonigbe and then became prominent
at Ughoton around the Ethiope ( Olokun) River . The
priesthood and rituals were firmly established at the
time . Some of the possible points of contact happened
early. During the Ogiso Period , trade with the Yoruba
and Igbos was quite extensive. Olokun worship may
have spread to those areas through traders . Prior to the
Oba Period , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was initiated into
Olokun as a chief Priest while he stayed at Ughoton ,
before his moving westward with his followers to
establish Ilefe ( Ero , 1999 , p . 108- 109) .
Once he arrived , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa brought Edo
traditions to those areas and was a King of his new
community called Ilefe , which could be what yoruba call
IFE. . From Ekaladerhan Izoduwa ’ s loins , the Yoruba
dynasties may have began. However, it is certain that
Olokun is an Edo divinity whose worship spread to the
outlying Yoruba areas.

Yet your forebears told everybody they got Olokun from Ilaje

keep lying to yourself, ever wondered why no scholar takes you people seriously. .that is of course except when it comes to Bronze art which were taught to you by men from Ife

gadgetsngs:


Never in History ,we are different from the other side of the country

I don't know why the sudden hatred from bini people

I used to think they were close to Yorubas. ..suddenly both on social media and life experience shows another thing

Branzy:

it's traditional the Oba of Benin don't speak to pple with his mouth open.. If he do so it's a curse

you can lie o

long live the great oba.
may your reign be long and peaceful.
iseeeeeeee

I really do not get the Fuss?! I hope someone will deny that Oba Eweka 1 is Oranmiyan's Son?! Is Oranmiyan also a Bini Man?!

Enough of this baseless argument for God's sake! It's a fact that Oba of Benin, Ooni of Ife and Alafin of Oyo are descendants of Oranmiyan!

Congratulations to the new Oba of Benin Kingdom. May you live long!
