Mckandre:nkechi gi this man tiri cold hero on my bill abeg |
SilverG33k:Bro I have actually been waiting for u r call all day, u can drop ur contact let me get to u if possible |
SilverG33k:sure thing sir,, here is my contact, 08164796694 |
importexpert:oh okay thanks then |
now how does one get started?, i'm actually interested in that voice over stuff, buh no idea how or were to start.. |
odigbosky:alot of things are taught wrong in the benin history in schools asoro was never an omo 'ada he didnt even live in the palace atleast omo'ada never leaves the palace, agreed he wasnt a general in the royal army before the invasion but he was a warrior and later a general |
YonkijiSappo:typical afonja the only one from the best tribe in nigeria with the best history no one can match... i hail thee sire,, can u now take ur recalcitrant self our of this thread thank you... |
YonkijiSappo:i am not her to drag superiority with brain washed afonja,, i'm only here to state that i know my history and i love every bit of it u can hang ur self for all i care u knw ur history i know mine, love urs like i love mine and we will have no problem...thank you sir |
YonkijiSappo:aisagbonrioba, which means kings are predestine, in the benin empire we believe the king to be a GOD on earth at such he is of direct lineage to osalobua. he is a descendant of oghodua but it doesn't mean he fell from the sky even jesus christ didnt fall from the sky |
9jakool:he was never a traitor read to learn he was unjustly exiled from his home.. |
YonkijiSappo:1st of all your afonja nature will always review it self, {always quick to insult} i dont have to insult u to make my point, at no given time or in any record has it been said by the benin that the ogiso's came from the sky.... |
YonkijiSappo:funny u atleast we know of some one who born and exiled from his home, and became king some where else,,, unlike some people who actually believed a human fell from the sky,, atleast ours does not defy science nor does it defy religion,,, but bro some one came from the sky with chains? even a new born baby knows thats impossible |
ODVanguard:your afonja attitude keep it up... |
YonkijiSappo:1st of all yes i'm young but it doesnt mean i haven't learnt enough to know about my history, secondly alot of writers has written about the benin empire from different views in modern days, each can write what they know or what they were told but as a benin i know my i history the way it is and i believe in it, imadoduwa has no meaning in benin quote me anywhere |
ODVanguard:funny how u yourobas like to drag argument into every issue that does not favour your history... well am not here to argue with u, so u best believe what ever u wish but as for the benin history, it is well stated to us with facts to back our claims...thanks |
YonkijiSappo:never heard of that n i dont know where you heard that from |
YonkijiSappo:izoduwa happens to be the direct translation of the name oduduwa, in benin language |
YonkijiSappo:he was known as ekaladeran who became oduduwa to the yourubas, buh the benins still respect the name he asked to be called.. |
The mask seen here in the image below is an Ododua Mask created by the Benin people. Very similar in construction, this mask can easily be compared to other brass heads from the Benin people such as those that represent an Oba, or king. While other brass heads are for commemoration, this particular mask is used for spiritual purposes. Projections from the top are a dominant symbol of the vital force of a divine associate. The superstructure protruding toward the sky symbolizes the link between the world and the spirit world through which communication with the spirits occurs. Vertical projection identifies its bearer as a personification of the vertical axis. The person who wears the Ododua Mask bridges the gap between human and spirit realms source;;Paula Ben-Amos and Arnold Rubin.The Art of Power, The Power of Art: Studies in Benin Iconography (University of California). cc.. lalasticala

a valiant brave man who died resisting the invading British forces during the expedition of 1897.During the siege on Benin, it was said that general Asoro ably defended the spot where the statue now stands. He said "no other person dare pass this road unless the Oba" (So kpon Oba). It is this statement which has been corruptedo become SAKPONBA.This statue, which is a salute to patriotism and loyalty is located on the king's Square by the beginning of Sokponba Road,Benin City. The spot where chief Asoro have died after fighting bravely. "Almost single-handedly, Asoro held the invader at bay for 5 days, defying blazing guns and ploughing maniacally into the enemies midst to deal out death and mutilation among them. Steeped to his back teeth in magic, Asoro would not fall to gun or sabre. His deadly poisoned arrows and his huge broad-sword hit their marks with devastating accuracy all around. When he fought in the midst of any of the enemy groups,He never left untill every man in it bit the dust.Then he moved on. There was only one condition he had to obey to in order to stay alive. It was that he should never looked back over his shoulder.Asoro fought and fought and fought. Then suddenly he quiver of arrows that hung from his shoulder seemed to have been snatched away.He looked right and left but could not find it.The pressure was on him from all directions.Inadvertently,he looked back on his shoulder and saw Ofoe" which in benin means {the messenger of death} and after days of fight he was finally brought down in the exact location were his statue is located today in modern day benin, which led to the final invasion of the kings square. rumor has it that both ASORO and his counterpart EBE-IKHIMWIN were responsible for the death of more than five thousand British soldiers... source;Excerpts from African agency and European colonialism By Femi James Kolapo, Kwabena O.
