Ekaladerhan: A Crown Prince Lost In The Niger Delta Jungle? by DonCandido(f): 10:37am On Feb 12, 2018 |
No disrespect is intended to any ethnic grouping and this is certainly not intended to support of any myopic ethnic supremacy arguments between indifferent African groups. The excerpts below seems to support relationship/affinity between Yoruba and Edo ethnic groups. "History give it that the Ugbode Olukumi speaking people migrated from Owo/Akure axis in the present Ondo state between 9th and 11th century AD to settle down in Benin during the reign of king Ogiso of Benin. It was this period in the history of the Benin kingdom, the most neglected of the wife of the Ogiso gave birth to the heir apparent to the throne. After the woman gave birth to the child, a male, the nobles consulted the oracle and said that the oracle told them that the child should be killed for peace to reign in Benin kingdom. At the end, the child was not killed as it was said that the child was too handsome to be killed, so a fowl was killed in his place. According to Ochei, this was the reason the Ugbodu people left Benin. “They felt that if a crown prince could be ordered for execution just like that, they could do worse things to strangers in their midst. As a result, they left Benin and came to Ewohimi, an Ishan speaking community in Edo state. Due to intra-tribal wars, they later left the place to settle down in Ugbodu which is a shortened form of Ugbodumila means bush saved me in English language”. With the movement of the people, there was a consequent change in their language as shown in their names. According to records compiled by Prince Humphrey Ojeabu Ochei, the immediate Olihen of Ughodu, the first six Olozas bore Yoruba names namely Adeoda, Aderemi, Ariyo, Odofin, Adetunji and Oyetunde. These early kings bore typical yourba names years and decades after the establishment of the Ugbodu kingdom. As the people gradually lost contact with their kinsmen back home, they began to gravitate towards the Benin and Edo communities" |

Ask people from Ighoton founded by Ekhalederan where he is celebrated every year as a festival. When Ogiso sent his men after him, they chickened out when they realized his exalted position as Oba of Ughoton. Only fools would try or risk capturing a king of another town. They refused to go back to Igodomido where they could have been killed without returning with Ekhaleran. 2 Likes |
