the Edo people are found in south south Nigeria and they are that owner of the state named Edo and major part of Delta state

historically the Edo have a aged tradition that is headed by the Oba (meaning light ) himself. the Oba is a well respected king among his people and even beyond.

QUEST TO BE ON THEIR OWN
it can simply be said that the separation of bendel from the western region was the visional struggle of Oba Eweka 11 to see the a full stop to the political conquest of awolowo and his agent .

and also the creation of Edo party (otu edo)

"After a crack-down by Obaseki against local demonstrations, a delegation of leaders led by E. O. Imafidon was sent to Lagos to invite Humphrey Omo-Osagie back to Benin from a meeting in Lagos, to lead the Otu-Edo.  The new party was dedicated to the “development of Benin and the unification of all Edo-speaking peoples of Nigeria.”  


and Owegbe society by chief Humphrey omo osagie ( father to utetenegiabi omo osagie ) at the obas approval to cub the excesses of the infiltrating Yoruba ogboni society no thanks to Gaius Obaseki betrayal and his appointment as the oluwo (head) of the ogboni society

Oba Akenzua11 words

The aims and ideals of this new political body seem very laudable and there is no doubt that it will help develop usefully like its counterparts, the Egbe Omo Oduduwa of the Yorubas, the Federal Union of the Ibos and so on.

Awolowo feared the creation of the owegbe society and call for it scrapping on the ground that it was a spiritual body but refuse to scrap ogboni

“……..the Ogboni allied with the Action Group founded by Chief Obafemi Awolowo out of the Egbe Omo Oduduwa in Yorubaland…”


but here is what Oba Akenzua 11 said after his achievement to get away from awolowo oppression against his people

Therefore, Oba Akenzua II wrote an interesting letter to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Midwest Affairs on October 2nd, 1962, in which
he said:

Dear Permanent Secretary,

Your MWP144/358 of 26/9/62.  I do not now see any justification for the continued ban on “Owegbe”.  I, therefore, support the suggestion that the ban on “Owegbe” should be lifted.  I recommend that the ban on “Owegbe” in the Benin Division and elsewhere should be lifted.”

Yours sincerely,

(sgd) Oba of Benin

(see Exhibit 63/5 p143, Owegbe Commission of Inquiry, 1966)


the above statement by Oba Akenzua11 shows that he was playing games with the entire western populace in order to see his people gone from that politically attached region.

hence this happen.....

the Oba, in a letter dated July 22nd, 1959 stated that there was such a “juju” which, in his opinion at that time, as a Minister in the Action group government, was dangerous. In what seemed to reflect the underlying political fear, the Oba said the danger was not with claims of powers to kill or save but in the ability of intelligent citizens based in Benin, having convinced less sophisticated rural based folk to take oaths, could then by order, cause disturbances anytime they wished – a veiled reference to the disturbances of 1951. Using this cover, the western region government moved to emasculate the Owegbe society, which was actually originally created to provide sanctuary for those who wanted a way to fortify themselves from Ogboni recruitment drives.  To illustrate the political nature of this development, the Oba reversed himself when he wrote a letter in 1962 (having since left the Action group) to the government saying he no longer had any concerns about Owegbe ".


OMO OSAGIE FIGHT



When however, Chief Omo-Osagie asserted that the Oba would testify that there was no such thing as “Owegbe juju” known in the Benin division,Chief Omo-Osagie demanded a formal judicial inquiry, saying the ban was politically motivated, and explained that that there was no “juju” or “cult” as such, but that there was indeed an “Owegbe society” which was the “youth wing” of the Otu-Edo party. 

On July 7th, the Oni of Ife, Oba Adesoji Aderemi, became the Governor of the Western region while the Alake of Abeokuta became the President of the House of Chiefs.  Chief Omo-Osagie wasted no time in making a public statement about the development.   Oba Akenzua II, who had been generally snubbed and cut off from many day to day decisions in the Ministry of Midwest Affairs except his approval was important to some Machiavellian scheme or the other, finally had enough.  


Quite apart from open campaigning for voters to vote "YES", as well as tours to various parts of the Midwest, detailed operational plans were made to ensure victory on polling day.  Fleets of Armels buses, for example, were leased by Chief Humphrey Omo-Osagie and sent around the Benin province in operational support.  The Otu-Edo party machine went into high gear.  Prince Shaka Momodu of Esan and his “militia” were on alert.  The Owegbe society was completely mobilized.  The Urhobo Progress Union used every avenue known to man, including churches, to mobilize voters.  Turn-out at ward level all over the state was planned to be close to 100% to make up for unknown ghost voters. 


OBA AKENZUA FIGHT FOR MIDWEST

Thereafter, Oba Akenzua II resumed his tours of the Midwest to garner support for the “Yes” vote.  He was quoted as saying,

“Whoever does not drop his or her ballot paper into the WHITE ballot box will be condemned by future generations.  Even those who die before the plebiscite takes place will be condemned in the other world, if they die with the bad intention of voting against or persuading people to vote against the creation of a Midwest region.” [Speech by Oba Akenzua at Agbor, March 12, 1963]

IGBOS SUPPORT
On July 1st, Michael Okpara, Premier of the Eastern region, came on tour to encourage the people of the Midwest to vote “Yes” campaign of Oba Akenzua11


CONCLUSION

What began as a request to colonial authorities in 1926 from Oba Eweka II, took on a sense of political urgency in 1948, and was finally attained during the reign of his son, Akenzua II, on August 9, 1963.  On August 9, 1964, at the first anniversary celebration of the Midwestern region, the first Governor, Chief S J Mariere, said, among other things,

“I do not think that it is an exaggeration to say that if, in any sense, one single person could be said to be responsible for a turning point, Oba Akenzua II must be classified as one such person…..when, later this evening, I invite all present to drink with me the toast of the Federal republic and the toast of Midwestern Nigeria, I am sure that, in some special way, we will be drinking the toast of Oba Akenzua II, Uku Akpolokpolo, Omo n’Oba n’Edo. Along with toast, we will also be drinking the toast of other potentates of Midwestern Nigeria who, in diverse ways and fashions, in several nooks and corners, in places low and high, in circumstances difficult and easy, have contributed their quota and mite towards our successful deliverance into the promised land, whose first anniversary today we celebrate………In quite a different vein we must also remember those great men and women who toiled and sweated on the journey to this land of our fathers but died in harness when already the land was in sight.  Today, I am sure, that the spirit of late Senator Dalton Ogieva Asemota and the soul of Chief Gabriel Esezobor Longe will specially rejoice in their abode in the great beyond…..” [Ayeni, P (Ed): Midwestern Nigeria First Anniversary 1964. Ministry of Information, Benin City]

 

In addition to Senator Dalton Ogieva Asemota and Chief Gabriel Esezobor Longe, many of the great figures mentioned in this essay have since died, some violently.  Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh( the Elaba of Usen), the great enabler, was assassinated during the January 15, 1966 coup.


Let us keep the lives of all the great Midwesterners discussed today in our thoughts for all time.  However, let us not forget those non-Midwesterners who did their part to make the Midwest constitutionally possible like Okpara.   With the exception of the UN supervised separation of Eritrea from Ethiopia after a long civil war, what those who fought constitutionally for the Midwest achieved has not been replicated in Africa.



Edo land will always be an independent land to other region culturally or otherwise

UGBE634:
if you want to reference me reference me completely you argue to win and not to say the truth this truly proves it omoale if you were paid it shall not stand, the Edo nation is too big for your gimmick. you can see another of my brother liking and commending my post in Benin language because I reflected the mind of the majority

Ekpen a biese

davidnazee:


You are going too far to those African countries sef.. Edo state is almost bigger than all the ibo states put together..

Edo is really big to stand as a nation

UGBE634:
Edo south is bigger than Edo central and Edo North combined. she can stand all through and through that is why they come cap in hand to us for vote every four years because they know we are the otalkinado of Edo state and the fucking overwhelming Majority.

true


but I believe if it come to that, Esan is one region that will always stand with Edo south

i cant say so about Edo north but I believe it will be 50/50 condition

UGBE634:
Gambia is just about ten thousand kilometre2, about the same size as Edo south with even a lesser population to Edo south. We will stand ALONE and will not be under any group. Benin is over ten times Bigger than Singapore! haba Julius! don't be a fool, from one end of the kingdom to another like URHONIGBE to EHOR to EKIADOLOR to OKADA To ABUDU to IGUOBAZUWA TO UGHOTON, UDO, USEN, haba we are big enough and we will stand ALONE

nice one man!!!


removing Edo Central and North from it


Edo south is even big enough to become a nation of her own

there are many countries of the world today that is not up to Edo south alone

rip to her

NigeriaIsZOO:


You really must be blind Batimious if with everything happening before your korokoro eyes you still don't see Nigeria breaking up?

I can see your emotions of not wanting Nigeria to break is what is making you irrational in thought, but unfortunately emotions and reality are two different issues that don't relate.

ok


let's wait the next century

Ahamefuna0001:


Why prepare them when you know the truth that Nigeria will never break up?

It's like knowing there'll be no exams but still reading in anticipation for an exam.

The sooner you know that anything is possible the better.

ok

Obalatule:
Quit the shenanigans and Just say you wish Nigeria wouldn't break up because your Edo people will be stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea

ok

Ethiopia and Sudan said so too...lol

ok

Ahamefuna0001:

I thought you created this thread? https://www.nairaland.com/6509202/bendel-bigger-than-entire-se
Why create it when you know it's never breaking?

yes
but the reality must be said
despite all this storm I really don't see Nigeria separating
that thread and others are just to prepare my edo ppo
but the truth must be said

stop wasting your time Nigeria is not going to break


as for asylum make I never talk

stop wasting your time Nigeria will never break

not even in your dream

someone ask a question decade ago and no one care to give answer
if na argue rubbish them go get mouth
where are the Igbo Yoruba Hausa Fulani ijaw efik expert ?
come show your talent for others to learn
me self wan learn

this thread will be more educating than rubbish argument

ok

Parachoko:
I won't still agree with you though. During the Oyo and Ilorin war, the Dahomeans turned their back on Oyo and even attacked the Oyo kingdom, the Benin kingdom didn't come to their aid too. It was the Yorubas kingdom that rose up and helped each other.

My point is that, an Igbo man in Nnewi would see an Igbo man from Owerri or ikwerre from PH as his brother rather than agreeing to be the brother of an efik man from Cross River state back then.

If not for the British, Nigeria won't have existed. But the possibility of an Igbo state, Hausa state etc is very high.

it's been pleasure talking to you have a nice day
