You believe sky kings came from sky and ruled edos....

Yes they did . Hence their names Ogiso . ogie =sky ,iso =king.

The world as we know it now wasn't always populated by humans only ...there were other beigns more advanced (eg some traces of this can be found in the Christain Bible :- the books of Numbers and Genesis chapter 6 :1-4 called the Nephilims).
Some of these advanced beings built the Stonehenge, sphinx etc . You can Google "moai" on Rapanui or Easter island to get a glimpse of some statues they left there which are still there till date .
However , civilizations rise and fall and these begins have since moved on.

What becomes history is a result of documented oral accounts .
I don't think it will be wise to quarrel or argue with anyone on what you know and they refuse to accept. We are all entitled to our opinions
Remain blessed 🙏

Agbado was indeed the first market but was once plagued by the Osogan monster which made it get its name "Agbado" meaning we go together but may not return together (as the Osogan monster often showed up and took people from the market ....this monster was later killed by Evian. There is a statue to commemorate this at Ramat park towards Guinness in Oregbeni Quarters (ikpoba hill).

Doesnt also change the fact that all your life studying on the history is correct

Benin had so many parable, relating to the heavenly beigns, but those were myth

benin used to leave in different segmented settlement before oba eweka united all the settlement as one, maybe those various rulers were nickname ogiso sky kings but the emerge of eweka who probably was still an ogiso himself wared, with other ogiso and defeated them and formed a bigger
Which probably emerged a new dynasty called oba
This is the possible explanations if indeed the ogiso did exist which i doubt because no evidence to than oral accounts,

It could also be those ogiso kings were called oba and not ogiso like what we are being told [b]obagodo were word coined recently, to attack the yorubas , but one thing i know is if indeed ogiso existed and eweka displaced them, definitely eweka was never from any Yoruba land

Start your benin research history from there, the problem with most of you is you so much believe oral accounts and you read not evaluate but believe as longs as it appeals to your like then it must be truth.....

This screenshot was done in 1969 in relation of what you heard from elders in the 70s


Am not impressed the way you tell history, your knowledge on benin history is too dogmatic

Ogiso Dynasty ended with Ogiso Owodo...with the interregnum of Ogieame and Evian . This cumulated into the arrival of the Oba Dynasty .

Hope this helps ?

Thanks for these beautiful writeup.
Orhionwon local govt is home to all Queen mothers and is an LG a populated by Binis ...but you also said most Queen mothers are Esan. Pls kindly help clarify this .

Now hear it. The only thing that can unit them together to utter hatred is the Igbo man. Now have the country progressed with their conspiracies over the years? Absolutely no!

Let's unite and stop the hate .

I also don't think Kalabari is Igbo , so the heading is misleading !

Winner90:
Using pidgin alone which is an inferior version of a language means that whatever crap you sing won't have a universal appeal.

Neo Colonialism spotted !

Emancipate ___ from metal ___ none but ourselves can free our own minds!

Throwback:
Even Peter Obi refused to release his University Bachelor's Degree and NYSC Certificate to INEC, yet Igbos want Tinubu to allow Atiku go to USA to collect all his academic and personal records?

Atiku even funny. He demanded that the University must provide him all the certificates they have issued from 1979 till 2023.

That was when the University realised that politicians like Atiku and Obi are jokers who think that America is Africa.

I just shame for Atiku and Obi.

Very desperate politicians who lost despite all the prostitution and ticket hunting.

REFLECT on your post and the flawed logic behind it ...
will it not be a thing of joy for P BAT to allow naysayers access his credentials and get shamed by their ignorance if there was nothing to hide ...?
But alas, the only way to prove yourself is the same way you are blocking others to vindicate yourself.

We are all Nigerians and I wish this country progresses towards greater heights but let's stop covering obvious logic with anormaly and falsehood !.

I ADVICE YOU TAKE YOUR SELF MORE SERIOUSLY AND FOCUS ON HIGHER IDEALS INSTEAD OF POSTING THIS FORMAT EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE.

BEST WISHES AND TAKE HEED !

WHY SEPARATE FROM SOMEONE AND STILL COMPLAIN OF UNSHARED RESPONSIBILITIES?

Hanged/executed by other thieves?

OurBusinessIsPr:
Bad.

if high level entrenched corruption can be going on smoothly at the immigration headquarters in ALAUSA ikeja daily, then I swear , every single government official + politician in Nigeria should be seen as a thief. And should all be hanged at the gallows or guillotined

Masama:
The voice is also an instrument, it's not compulsory that you must play other instruments before you become a musician

Yes but the ability to also play other instruments is not only a sign of dexterity but more musicality and this gives a more creative edge in the true sense. The computer may give its support to enhance things but talent is still talent.

At this point, this man need help

Do all you can to discredit him... Doctor fake videos, use his voice prompt do whatever... Gods will shall prevail

Damidave1124:
Better.
The Nigerian police were swift in arresting the man though, if reverse was the case, we might no hear anything again.

Once it has gotten to social media, I trust the Lagos state Polie command to act -and swiftly for that matter.
Best wishes to you and the culprit too!

Komu1048:
The best way to solve security is to vote Tinubu 2023.
Nigerians must not do mistake of voting Obi, his victory is a win for Ipob. They will extend their madness to every part of Nigeria. U don't need to be told their is no part of Nigeria that there no Igbo man. It will be so easy for them to kill millions of Nigerian. Esp the SS n SW becox u can't even identify them unlike how we easily identify a Fulani.

Most Ipob can speak local diet of where they base, they can dress and disguise without being recognized.

Use NE as a case study, during Jonathan time. They were killing in their region but couldn't reach out to other region the president is not their kinsmen. Immediately Buhari enter we all bleed for it.

Now ipob is more deadlier than Fulani, they are educated, more strategic, more financing knows cronies n creeks. And they hate Nigerians more.

Now u want to add federal power to everything they had. I am very sure port Harcourt, Benin n Lagos will be their most hit destination.

The only answer is to vote Tinubu, he is a detribalise man. As governor he employed so much igbos and hausa into Lagos employment scheme. Go to Alausa and verify, they are now in level 14 n 15. There is no area of Lagos employment you won't find every Nigerian ably represented n he is not secretly financing any terror group. Don't dare vote Atiku, he is the number one financier of Boko Haram, he is their patron.

I knew you as an intelligent person until you posed this. This is very sad! May God forgive you and give you the grace not to utter stuff like this in the future. Amen!

The APC candidate and members of his team are upset that Soyinka “systematically revealed that Tinubu got Parkinson’s disease.

Although I am not partisan, This is very true. I was very surprised when Tinubu passed through the Iyanoworo axis towards 3rd Mainland bridge.
His energy level was shockingly infectious. He kept waving the broom from a Coaster Bus- via the window ( bus conductor-style balancing ) It really got me thinking about the Press and the Tinubu shakky daddy claim.
I wish Peter Obi, Atiku, and Tinubu the best in their endeavors- and may the best Man for the Job win!

Nigeria shall be great again. Amen

Mr woken up man...do not misquote me okay.
No one knows that the south needs to be united more than I do.
The events I talked about there are actually happening. It's all over the news what the SW governors are doing.
And u are not blind to see that the collective SE governors are yet to come out and take any stand except bickering like women over party drama.

So please... if ders anyone living in delusions here... it's you. I'm a realist...and I say it as it is.. without sentiments.

Youll grasp what I meant sometime in future hopefully.

Naijaishellish:
so Obaseki is a force to reckon with Abi? A governor without a single project in 5 years? Obaseki is a curse black spot in the history of edo state.

If a Governor that has been able to retire his former God-Father and APC national Chairman to oblivion is not a force to be reckoned with, then what is your understanding of the phrase "force to reckon with"?

1.Nigeria was never great before oil. We were a poor country then and a poor country now.

2. Our problem is that whatever we sell we don't control the price. Whether it be oil palm cocoa cotton or groundout.

3. Our revenue from agric crashed in the 1970s. We used oil to hide the crash. We were.fortunate that oil prices shot up.

4. Great nations are nations that export industrial goods and services

5. We don't have a working refinery because we want to buy fuel at 40 naira per liter that costs nearly 200 naira to make. The refinreis run down because profits are not there to repair them and tjey are sabotaged because oil workers will be paid whether they work or not.

6.either we toll the roads or keep taking more and more loans.

7. For good measure Nigeria must industrialize. APC and PDP should wake up to that.

Because most Nigerians do not want the power and oil companies to have total control over the prices they set for selling power and petrol....just like Nigerians in the market have control over the prices they set for foodstuff, and non edibles, the power and oil companies don't have enough money to pay for good refinereis and much needed improvements in power generation and transmission. Any profits they make goes into salaries.

By allowing the power companies and the petrol companies set their prices, they would be able to make enough profits to improve things.

But since we are too poor....we get poor service.

Modified 2

It is a myth to believe that Nigeria was ever rich. Nigeria was not rich in the 1960's at all. My home village in the 1960's did not have power, or a decent road, until some 14 years ago. Many other villages were like that. Most of the schools we are using were built in the 1970's and 80's with oil boom money. Even then rich nations are nations that make things the world needs and sells them to the world at prices they control. Nigeria, and most other African nations are poor because we sell things like agricultural and mineral prodcts whose prices are never at a level that can sustain us, and when they collapse, we have to take loans.

We would have been in serious economic crisis like Ghana was in the 1970's if it wasn't for oil. In the 1970's many commonwealth nations had issues earning money from selling agric produce to the UK, ESPECIALLY as the UK was not well economically then. The ones that surivived were either industrial, or had to rebrand, or suffered.

Interesting post I must say...
