HISTORY BETWEEN Ooni, Aalafin And Oba Of Benin by Hollicom(m): 3:55pm On Feb 12, 2016
HISTORY BETWEEN OoNI, Aalafin and Oba of Benin

The History between Ooni, Aalafin and Oba of Benin cannot be distorted because records are there to point to.

Chief Edebere and Benin palace should answer the following questions:
1. Why was Oba of Benin after their demised were buried in Ife called the "heaven of Benin Kings" which has not yet controverted.
2. If truly Oduduwa was a son to Ogiso Owodo, after his death, why was he not returnned to Benin and subsequent Oonis that ruled Ife like the Oba of Lagos until the emergence of Ologunkutete.
3. Why was the official Language of Benin palace was Yoruba.
4. Why was Ibinu corrupted as Benin is Yoruba language.
5. If Oduduwa was Ogiso son, then who was Lamurudu that begat Oduduwa was to Oduduwa and his brothers who were kings in Kukawa and Kogobiri in modern day Borno.
6. Why was the Yoruba nation grew to Ga in Accra, Yoruba in Togo and Republic of Benin.
7. How do they identified that Ekhaderem was Oduduwa who was sent away as a boy and has become so old when the Benin requested for a ruler from the pontiff King Ooni of Ife who was reluctant to send his son to rule in Benin and eventually gave the Benin emissary 3 termites for them to nurture before he can release his son to govern Benin.
8. Why was the cavers learnt the technology of caving in Ife.
9. If truly, Oduduwa came from Benin, Why did Benin culture not reflect in Ife and Yoruba towns and reverse was the case.

Now, having asked these questions, I want to contribute that Chief Edebiri goofed by saying Oba is indigenous to Benin, it is worthy to educate him that before Oodua ruled in Ife, there has been Obaluaye, Obatala, Obalufon among others who ruled various clans in Yoruba land and allowed Oduduwa to be the paramount ruler. Oba is a King in Yorubaland from time immemorial while Oloja is lesser to Oba and Bale is lesser to Oloja.

Also, worthy to remind the high chief is that why Benin was a Kingdom, Oyo was an Empire, an amalgamation of Kingdoms, and Oyo grew in conquest of many Kingdoms including Fon kingdom, Dahomey, Ashanti Nupe among other kingdoms, the history is there for researchers to read. While Ife was the home of Pontiff King Oduduwa who begat Aalafin Oranmiyan who founded Oyo and Benin and all prominent Obas in Yorubaland, Oranmiyan ruled in Benin and begat Owomika corrupted as Eweka1.

Reason why people, including our colonial masters rated Oyo above Benin were;
1. Benin was a Kingdom while Oyo was an Empire.
2. The founder of Benin and Oyo who was Oranmiyan settled in Oyo despite the fact he left Benin for Ife where he ruled and left "Odele" caretaker before proceeding to establish Oyo and created so many Oyo towns and rested.

I am most humble to educate chief Edebiri and the palace of Benin to read the book of Samuel and other archaeological and anthropology history of ancient Ife and Benin to know the fact and not necessarily be arrogant in educating this generation and distorting history as stated in the book of Oba Benin "Sir I remain of your Obedient Servant which lack facts and proof.
