Now to Bini people, do you prefer your Oba hoards these artifacts in his Palace, or your Governor builds a museum for it so all Bini people can have access to see them? Well all I know is in Edo state, the Oba is the law, so if Obaseki does not want to start flying at night without broom, .... 23 Likes 2 Shares |

Atiwaye: Just wondering ... what is the meaning of "Akuko" in Yoruba? In Igbo it means "story". For the topic, if this chicken sculpture tagged "Ọkhọkhọ"does not show that Edo is Igbo, I wonder what else is left. 29 Likes 1 Share |

tamdun: It is still neither here nor there because the punctuation under the "O" is purely Igbo. And in Igbo it means "Chicken". 36 Likes |

Amazing as they got the 'intonation' in the spelling too... ; sinkhole: Wetin concern 'yoruba' punctuation for Benin sculpture ni; In Benin "Okhokho" generally means "Fowl/Chicken"... Okporu - means Cockerel; "Iyo-okho" means hen (asin mama fowl); and "ovibo-okho" naim be small chicks. 22 Likes 2 Shares |
