Very interesting! Black civilisation probably should have been left to develop at its pace. Benin treasures of art speak volumes about the intelligence and beautiful culture of the Binis. I also read about a Queen of Ile Ife who constructed paved roads with potsherds centuries ago. Apart from Western education and Christianity, much of the intervention of the Whites was for their personal and national interest. 6 Likes 1 Share |

jneutron4000: There was Igodo and Idu. In Igbo folklore Igodo, Iduu and Oba form part of ancient stories transferred through generations. The chaotic wars of Benin empire around 15th century is known in Igbo as "agha Iduu n'Oba" and because it was brought by people who crossed the River Niger to settle in the East many mocked them as fairytales also known as "Akuko Iduu n'Oba" in Igbo. Ijaw also have similar stories so it cannot be false. The name Odogwu very common among Igbos represents heroic journey of a giant Igbo warrior to fight as a mercenary in Iduu n'Oba. 9 Likes |

Only part of Ondo - Owo was under Benin Akure was never under Benin or probably if it was it didn't stay long under Benin. You mentioned Ekiti.

Etinosa12345: Then learn how to separate it next time. Both Ondo state and Ondo town was never under Benin. And I told you Akure was never under Benin or it didn't stay long. You said Deji Osupa of Akure. I'm asking you, how many Deji were Benin people able to appoint during the time of Akure under Benin empire? |
