Benin City is a city (2006 est. pop. 1,147,188) and
the capital of Edo State in southern Nigeria. It
is a city approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi)
north of the Benin River. It is situated 320
kilometres (200 mi) by road east of Lagos. Benin
is the centre of Nigeria's rubber industry, but
processing palm nuts for oil is also an
important traditional industry. [1]
History
The original people and founders of the Benin
Empire, the Edo people, were initially ruled by
the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who called
their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings
were commonly known as Ogiso. Igodo, the first
Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained
popularity as a good ruler. He died after a
long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest
son. In the 12th century, a great palace
intrigue and battle for power erupted between
the warrior crown prince Ekaladerhan son of
the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In
anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left
the royal court with his warriors. When his
old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty
was ended as the people and royal kingmakers
preferred their king's son as natural next in
line to rule.
The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan, who was not
known in Yoruba land, somehow earned the title
of Oni Ile-fe Izoduwa which is now corrupt to
yoruba language as Ooni (Oghene) of Ile-Ife
Oduduwa and refused to return, then sent his
son Oranmiyan to become king. Prince Oranmiyan
took up his abode in the palace built for him
at Usama by the elders (now a coronation
shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a
beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Osa-
nego, was the ninth Enogie (Duke) of Ego, by
whom he had a son. After some years residence
here he called a meeting of the people and
renounced his office, remarking that the
country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu (by
which name the country was afterward known)
and that only a child born, trained and
educated in the arts and mysteries of the land
could reign over the people. He caused his son
born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in
his place, and returned to Yoruba land Ile-Ife.
After some years in Ife, he left for Oyo, where
he also left a son behind on leaving the place,
and his son Ajaka ultimately became the first
Alafin of Oyo of the present line, while
Oranmiyan himself was reigning as Oni of Ife.
Therefore, Oranmiyan of Ife, the father of
Eweka I, the Oba of Benin, was also the father
of Ajaka, the first Alafin of Oyo. Oni of Ife
and Alafe of Oyo is a Bini spoken language all
the Kings title in Southerner are Edo
Language. In Nigeria Edo has the greatest and
rich culture and most influence in West Africa
and powerful King in Nigeria. Allegedly Oba
Eweka later changed the name of the city of
Ile-Binu, the capital of the Benin kingdom, to
"Ubinu." This name would be reinterpreted by
the Portuguese as "Benin" in their own
language. Around 1470, Ewuare changed the
name of the state to Edo. [2] This was about the
time the people of Okpekpe migrated from Benin
City.
The Portuguese visited Benin City around 1485.
Benin grew rich during the 16th and 17th
centuries due to trade within southern
Nigeria, as well as through trade with
Europeans, mostly in pepper and ivory. In the
early 16th century the Oba sent an ambassador
to Lisbon, and the King of Portugal sent
Christian missionaries to Benin. Some residents
of Benin could still speak a pidgin Portuguese
in the late 19th century. Many Portuguese loan
words can still be found today in the
languages of the area.
On 17 February 1897, Benin City fell to the
British.[1] In the "Punitive Expedition ", a
1,200-strong British force, under the command
of Admiral Sir Harry Rawson , conquered and
razed the city after all but two men from a
previous British expeditionary force led by
Acting Consul General Philips were killed.[3]
Alain Boisragon, one of the survivors of the
Benin Massacre, includes references to the
practice of human sacrifice in the city in a
firsthand account written in 1898 (one year
after the Punitive Expedition). [4] James D.
Graham notes that although "there is little
doubt that human sacrifices were an integral
part of the Benin state religion from very
early days," firsthand accounts regarding
such acts often varied significantly, with some
reporting them and others making no mention of
them. [5]
The " Benin Bronzes ", portrait figures, busts
and groups created in iron , carved ivory , and
especially in brass (conventionally called
"bronze" , were taken from the city by the
British and are currently displayed in various
museums around the world. [1] Some of the
bronzes were auctioned off to compensate for
the expenses incurred during the invasion of
the city. Most of these artifacts can be found
today in British museums and other parts of
the world. In recent years, various appeals
have gone to the British government to return
such artifacts. The most prominent of these
artifacts was the famous Queen Idia mask used
as a mascot during the Second Festival of Arts
Culture (FESTAC '77) held in Nigeria in 1977 now
known as "Festac Mask".
The capture of Benin paved the way for British
military occupation and the merging of later
regional British conquests into the Niger Coast
Protectorate , the Protectorate of Southern
Nigeria and finally, into the Colony and
Protectorate of Nigeria. The British permitted
the restoration of the Benin monarchy in 1914,
but true political power still lay with the
colonial administration of Nigeria.
Following Nigeria's independence from British
rule in 1960, Benin City became the capital of
Mid-Western Region when the region was split
from Western Region in June 1963; it remained
the capital of the region when the region was
renamed Bendel State in 1976, and became the
state capital of Edo State when Bendel was
split into Delta and Edo states in 1991.Source Wikipedia |
