He was the only son of Ogiso (King) Owodo and Oloi (Queen) Arukhö. Ekaladerhan n'Ododuwa has special love for the cockerel because the cockerel blood was spilled on the matchet in order to spare his life, a village named Uruökhökhö (Cockerel's voice) in Benin was the forest this event took place and that's how the cockerel story came into the distorted history. If you look at the helmet very well, you can figure out a Cockerel's Comb on top of it.
Disregard any other images that is being paraded as Ododuwa which some also sometimes pass off as Olokun and Obalufon's head.
If you look at the upper helmet, you will find out where the falsified so called "Aare" crown used at olojo festival was copied from which some claimed is traced to the first king that ruled the World, called NIMROD or LAMURUDU.
The British looted these artworks from Benin Palace and hid them in their museum while helping Ife to falsify Ododuwa history as their plans was to use the Priest of Ifa in Ife to control Great Benin and Oyo after they exiled Oba Ovonramwen and Alaafin of Oyo who happens to be the direct descendants of Ododuwa to Calabar and Lagos colony for easy administration of their new illegal Southern protectorate.
