The photo on this post is reportedly that of an Oba of Benin at a time known as OBA OREOGHENE and one Benin page known as Benin History tried to claim that the word, OREOGHENE is an Edo word thereby insinuating that the Urhobo people are edos because, OREOGHENE is 100% an URHOBO word or name. I have responded on his page with these important questions like , what does oreoghene mean in Edo language even if he claims it's an OLD EDO WORD. Anyways, here is my response to such claims and I think of you are an URHOBO person, this is the right time to tell us weather you guys are originally urhobos or Edo/Bini people.
Benin History sometimes, you take people on a silly ride unfortunately for you, the only co riders are the l@zy and uneduc@ted Bini people.i read your total nonsense to see if you can outrightly tell your followers what OBA OREOGHENE instead, you spewed beans saying it's an OLD EDO IDU name?
Please, what is OREOGHENE in Edo language?
How many Edo people now or in the past bore that name?
I say it without fault or confusion that a lot of you do not know thine story or history. You just choose what caresses your Gbola.
The ubini, ibinu, Benin and later, Edo people were immigrants . Do you know that? The aborigines weren't Edo .
The Edo people are believed to have migrated from Egypt . A story y'all get so confused about and argue still.
You claim idu was ur progenitor but you have absolutely no clue nor information about the said Mr Idu.
Like, where he was from actually... Where his father was from and where his mother was from.
And why did idu choose to name his three sons AKKA, EFA AND EMEHI ? Names that were nothing near Edo names. Rather 2 of that names suggests IGBO and the third, ESAN . Till these days, the people of western Igbo (Anioma) bare the name EFA and AKKA (general IGBO)
But, what is Akka and EFA in the so called Edo language?
Who was the wife of pa idu ? Or maybe she is the one who influenced those names? Or pa idu is just a mythological creation who according to y'all birthed urhobos, western IGBOS, ESAN, isokos, itsekiris, etsakors and owan ?
You see that there is some sort of lies pedalled by you guys just to maintain a narrative of dominance, influence and power. And this is only on your papers... Not in reality.
Like the case of western Igbo commonly now called ANIOMA whom you claim were edos who founded those areas from scratch.
Now do you agree with me that if that was true then it means the Edo people were conquered and colonized by the IGBOS?
You will be correct if you said the Edos were never conquered or colonized by the IGBOS because the IGBOS never were invaders or marauders who went on a raid on other lands to subdue them . Rather, the IGBOS especially the Aro people were sojourners who found their ways to other land bringing in their specialty in hunting, dark magical powers and warfare and a known example is EZECHIMA whom according to your Benin chief whose ancestors were Yoruba from Ile ife, Late Chief David Edebiri the esogban of Benin kingdom was from Igbo land but became prominent and a chief in Benin until he had issues and he fled back eastwards establishing towns and villages including ogan, Igbanke, Agbor, umunede, obior, isele uku and others. Till this day, a greeting "laovbieze" is in his name.
So, Edo people were not defeated or colonized by IGBOS rather, it was the Benin's who tried to enslave and conquer western Igbo lands thus heralding the Edo influences in places like isele uku, parts of western IGBOLAND including igbanke, olona, Agbor, obior.
There are loads of twists in your stories that are not true especially the take of pa idu. Cos , if they were , then, IGBOS were your Ancestors and only a DNA can proof this .
68 percent of Edo people MAY come out 80 percent igboid and the others will be Yoruba including the lineage of the king. I rest my case for now and waiting for your romance with Meta
