Benin Empire Denial Centre (BEDC) people will soon descend on the thread. From their Base in SW. It is full time job for them. They will find one or two human errors to say it did not exist. They will tell those who grew up near the Benin moats and ramparts they never saw such. Because SW people are the omniscient and sophisticated people on earth. grin cheesy

They are so pained by Benin history prominence internationally that it gives them nightmare. grin cheesy

When I keep telling people that almost a thousand years of black history was wiped out and our language forced into extinction in other for us (descendants) of true kings and queens not to be able to read ancient scripts telling us who we are, some will call it conspiracy theory.

Lagos is called Eko(meaning war camp) in bini language. Bini people conquered Lagos, conquered lots of their neighbours n they might have been conquered or more likely worked hand in hand with the British.... cuz I know many bini princes studied abroad, courtesy of the British.

Which correction? Go find out about Asoro who was a Benin warrior during that 1897 war. And chief Ologbosere, the traditional second in command of Benin Imperial Army. He fought guerrilla war with the British. For months after the official surrender of Benin army. Until he was betrayed. British soldiers were burning down villages to force locals to betray him out of fear.

Do not let him fool or intimidate you. Ibadan press began trying to dictate our history using early educational advantage.

Can't you see how SW people nearly get epileptic fits whenever Benin history is mentioned?
It was the plot to relegate non-Yoruboid people in Southern politics by Awolowo.

He even raised Olu of itsekiri to Olu of Warri. To the anger of Edoid Delta people like Urhobo, Isoko etc. Because Delta was called Warri province then. Implying Olu was king of that area/province as a whole. It was only resolved when it was changed to Delta Province.

We know the ethnic politics of SW.

We have trashed this topic for years here on Nairaland.
It has become the hottest debated topic whenever it comes on FP. grin

there is the wall.

it was not an empire..

the towns were fighting each other.

so they build a wall to block others from attacking them.

benin has had history of obas for several years.. alot of the people you find in benin city are immigrate, not originally from the place.



All of us are immigrants.

Great Wall of China is 8,000km+ and Benin is 16,000km. So it's not 4 times the length of great wall of China.
Am not even understanding from Lagos to Kano is 1000km, how long is perimeter of the whole southern Nigeria?

That is the satellite picture of the wall, and the location is very obvious, very far from Benin. It's in Ijebuland, SW Nigeria.
Benin was a great empire, but this post is just one of the many lies from our Bini brother.
