This is the relationship between the ancient Benin and the Yoruba. The First king of the Oyo empire was a Benin man. On the death of the last Ogiso, his son and heir apparent Ekaladerhan was banished from Benin as a result of one of the Queens changing the message from the oracle to the Ogiso. Ekaladerhan was a powerful warrior and well loved Benin Prince. On leaving Benin he travelled to the west of the present day Nigeria to the land of the Yorubas. At that time the Yoruba oracle said that their King will come outof the forest and when Ekaladerhan arrived at Ife, hewas received as a King. He changed his name to Imadoduwa meaning "I did not misplace my royalty" and became The Great Oduduwa of The Yoruba Land. On the death of his father, the last Ogiso, a group of Benin Chiefs led by Chief Oliha came to Ife, pleading with him to come back to Benin to ascend the throne. Oduduwa's reply was that a King cannot leave his Kingdom but he had seven sons and would ask one of them to go back to Benin to rule as the next King. Oranmiyan, the son of Ekaladerhan aka Oduduwa, agreed to go to Benin. He spent some years in Benin and came back to Ife after his wife gave birth to a son named Eweka. Eweka I became the first Oba of Benin. |

Brek: Sokoto didn't. It was Afonja who invited Alimi to help him in Ilorin because he was scared of the punishment Oyo king would give him after he disrespected the Oyo king when he was posted to oversee Ilorin town. At the end, Alimi betrayed and killed Afonja in Ilorin. When Yoruba heard about what transpired, Yoruba went to ransack the whole Ilorin. It was at that moment that the White arrived. So they had to go fight against the Whites. 1 Like 1 Share |

Brek: The whites said Igbo were cannibals! Even some places in the southeast today are still cannibalistic. My friend's father escaped by a whisker. He narrated his experience back then while he was narrating his ashewo life before he became a Pastor. He said while he was doing his Waka about during his NYSC days in Abia, he arrived at a small village where only one road leads into the village. He almost entered despite something whispering to him that this is strange but he didn't care until a girl who was walking the other direction caught his ashewo eyes as usual then, so he abandoned entering the village. Afterwards, he was gisting his friends at the camp about the strange village, then one Igbo person familiar with the place said "Na God save you. You would have ended in a pot of cooking soup by now 🤣 1 Like |

Vado2: All what you said is bull shit. The Oba of Benin is a descendant of Oranmiyan who was one of the sons of Oduduwa the king in Ile-ife. Did you know that the Obas of Benin don't bury their kings with their heads but take them Ile-ife? |
