MyVILLAGEpeople:
Never heard of that though. So are you saying the Dahomey kingdom( present Benin republic) was once conquered by the Benin kingdom??

Onijagidijagan:
That Oba of Lagos is a descendant of Benin Prince doesn't necessary means the Lagos Yorubas(Awori) are descendants of Benin.

Likewise it is safe to say, that Obas of Benin are descendants of Oba oranmiyan doesn't means Benin people are Yoruba people.

The Hausas also proved that Oduduwa is an Hausa Fulani man. That he came from the northern part. (I will believe the latter than the former).

MyVILLAGEpeople:
There is no relationship.

At least not the way you think.

Benin Republic is a francophone country formerly known as Dahomey (Kingdom of Dahomey). The Beninese have no relationship with the Bini of Benin city. The word ‘Benin’ is a corruption of the word ‘Ubinu’ which was an ancient city that traded with the Portuguese who were the first Europeans to step into the hinter region known as West Africa.

The country was named after the Bight of Benin which is a body of water in the Gulf of Guinea on the Western African coast and which in turn was named after the Benin Empire (which was the predominant empire in that time). The new name Benin was chosen for its neutrality because ‘Dahomey’ was a reflection of the former Kingdom of Dahomey which covered the Southern parts of the country and did not represent Porto-novo, a rival state to the South, Atokera in the North-western sector, nor the Kingdom of Borgu in the North-eastern region.

But there is a connection.

Oduduwa is the Father of Yoruba land and he settled in Ile-ife which is the seat of the Yoruba Kingdom. All people of Yoruba descent trace their lineage to him.

The Bini connection to Oduduwa is a bit more complicated because of the supremacy tussle between the Ooni of Ife and the Oba of Benin (Benin City) as to whether the Bini originated from the Yoruba or the Yoruba from the Bini. There are mythological and historical conflicts to these accounts.

Without stepping into the murky waters of this conflict, (which is also not the purpose of the question), what is clear by the Bini and Yoruba is that; Oranmiyan, the son of Oduduwa, was sent to rule Benin and he had a son known as Eweka I who became the first Oba of Benin.

Ergo, it can be said the relationship between Benin Republic and Benin City is the shared ancestry between a major Beninese tribe and the Kingdom of Benin.

Historians in the house, your contributions is also needed. Thanks.
