The title of Oba was used after the Ogiso title and was created by Oranmiyan, Benin Empire's first "Oba". Oba Eweka I, Oranmiyan's son, is said to have ascended to power at some time between 1180 and 1300.

1180
Kingdom of Benin/Founded..

It is said that the Benin monarch date back to Ogiso Igodo who was reputed to have begun his reign in the year 900 AD. It is not quite certain if that year is the appropriate year one can really say that Ogiso Igodo reigned. This is so because Edo Civilization is well over 6000 years old. According to R.G Armstrong in his book “The Study of West Africa languages” the glotto-chronological period of separation between Edo, Yoruba and Ibo has been put between 3,000 and 6,000 years. It is no wonder therefore that prof. A.F.C Ryder aptly wrote about the Edo, that “Linguistic evidence suggests that they have occupied this region for some thousands of years”. P .Amway Talbot confirmed that about the seventh millennium BC, the Edo (Benin) and Ewe (popo) and then the Ibo, followed maybe about thee second millennium BC by the earliest Yoruba”. These suggestions give strong indications that Benin Civilization has grow over a period of some 6000 years if not more.

Many writers have put the origin of Edo people as coming from Egypt while other thought they originated from Ife. Such an eminent writer as Chief (Dr) J.U Egharevba even suggested that the Edo People migrated from Egypt, made a short halt in the Sudan, then at Ife, and finally came to this land where they met an inferior people. The most interesting point about this theory is that no one has paused for a while to ask where the Egyptians migrated from. No one is really certain about the Origin of the Edo people whose origin appears to have lost in myths and legends of the distant past. In the absence of any archeological evidence one is forced to have a second thought on this issue of migration from Egypt. Science tells us that living things grow around fertile areas of the world. As a matter of fact civilization has always thrived in areas of fertile land which sustains life and Edo people cannot be exception to this rule.

Ogiso Owodo became the first Oba of Benin after the settlement between him and Prince Chima of Lucumi (Ile Ife, which was then also called Uhe). Chima later became the first king if Onitsha.

If you know you know.

Benin is More Than 1000 years old.

Second phase: Around the 10th Century, Benin (Igodomigido) sent a delegation to Obatala (Osere Igbo) of Uhe (Ife), asking for a ruler.

Responding to this invitation, the Obatalas of Uhe customarily sent their first son to be govern Benin. That was until the Benin people decided to rule under Ogiso Owodo.

Negitiations followed by a peaceful settlement was made, and Ogiso Owodo became Omo N'Oba N'Edo. Benin have their own style you must respect till this day.

Benin is an ancient civilization that had an embassy in Portugal centuries ago.
