DEBUNKING THE 99% CLAIMS OF IFE CULTURE IN BENIN MONARCHICAL SYSTEM BY A FACELESS FRACTION OF IGODOMIGODO TV

By Dr. Paul Osa Igbineweka

To debunk the first lie there were Elders of Igodomigodo who installed Evian as administrator during the period of the interregnum, who also passed on the culture to the Elders who installed Oranmiyan when he arrived Igodomigodo.

For the following reasons the author of the 99% of Ife culture in Benin Kingdom lied:

1) If Oranmiyan had instituted his Ife culture he would have no need to have remarked that "except a son born and brought up in the people's traditions and culture can rule them.

2) The reason of nicknaming Igodomigodo as "Ilẹ-ibinu" as a vexatious city was borne out of the his incompatibility and the squabbles between Elders of Igodomigodo and the Ogiamiẹn.

3) Oranmiyan never stayed long to establish a long period of reign but left to found Oyo. While Ọba Ẹwẹdọ who defeated Ogiamiẹn changed the name to Ubini from where the Portuguese derived Benin.

4) Ọba dynasty has nothing in common and in practice with the practice of Ooni of Ife by culture.

5) Your grandmother was never the only relatives of Oranmiyan that came from Ife. The late Esogban David Edebiri was from there and never denied, so with the Elawure of Usẹn.

6) The book of Egharevba "1936" as you said has no page stating that Ekaladerhan died in Ughọtọn.

7) If no Prince was missing, how come you said Ekaladerhan died in Ughọtọn. Was Ekaladerhan not a Prince of the kingdom whether dead or alive? We understand your desperation.

😎 Your errors of chronological order is that Igodomigodo and Ugboland where Ife is one of the community had established relationships before the arrival of Oduduwa/Ekaladerhan to Ife, and not during the Ọba dynasty.

9) The Ifa/Iha priest that hosted Ekaladerhan as Oduduwa in Ife was by name "Agbọnnirẹgun" an Idu name to prove that Idu people were in Ugboland before his arrival (see Abiola, p.34,1976).

10) The Bronze casters only returned from Ife to Benin were their leaders left during the Ogiso dynasty, and their departure under Iguẹghae to Igodomigodo as their original homebase put an end to the bronze casting guild in Ife. While in Igodomigodo or Benin is still thriving to date at Igun-Ẹrọnmwọn.

11) We don't need Prof. Wole Soyinka to establish our history, but he knew how Yoruba fabricated that Oduduwa descended from heaven and became a progenitor over existing people.

12) The climax of Bronze casting never happened during the time of Oduduwa or Oranmiyan. But after them as originally from the period of Ogiso Ẹre Who evented The Ada and Ẹbẹn (Royal blades of Honour).

13) Uyi as he called himself don't have history before Oduduwa, but after Oduduwa. Hence he was stressing on Oranmiyan, and cared not to know anything about how Oduduwa the father of Oranmiyan came to Ife. Quite smart not to offend the dishonesty of the Yoruba historians.

14) Ogiamiẹn's rule was never of the Ogiso lineage of Laiso, but of Evian the warrior that killed the monster "Osogan" and was made a Republican ruler during the interregnum. He tried to make his family a hereditary to the throne by his son Irebor as Ogiamiẹn. Which the people revolted against.

15) Those who returned from Ife were Idu people of Igodomigodo, the same people who stayed back as Oranmiyan returned to Ife. Why did your grandmother not return to Ife if she actually belonged to Ife without no trace to Igodomigodo.?

16) Ogiamien have been removed out of rulership from the time of Oranmiyan and never to be Ogiso anymore for well over 924 years to 2024.

17) Ogiamiẹn having been defeated at Ekiokpagha and subsequently made member of Uzama Nibiẹ. It has remained so peacefully till a faction of the family laying claim to Ogiamiẹn chieftaincy Title. Whereas, the Ọba is not responsible for the family squabbles while the incumbent Ogiamiẹn subsists.

18) For how many centuries that Ogiamiẹn was relegated to being chief at Utantan that now in less that ten years, is now laying claim to Ogiso that he has never been for 9 centuries?

19) No Benin name as Uyi is a Yoruba name. You lost your identity because Oranmiyan was never Yoruba but spoke Olukumi. It is Olukumi that say "Ufe" and Benin called them "Uhẹ" not Yoruba. Hence at the time he came, our elders would say "ma ma hẹ zẹ Ẹdo fo, ama ghi wẹẹ Olukumi" (We have not yet exhausted speaking Ẹdo talk less Olukumi).

20) If people were sponsored against your idea, who sponsored the Olugbo of Ugbo to say that Oduduwa was a stranger. A migrant from where? From five Yoruba theories of dishonesty. And that before his arrival Ugboland had established relationships with Igodomigodo.

21) Some of our people were also from Uhẹ and were only back to their original homeland. Otherwise, they including your grandmother would have returned to Ife. Benin that called Uhẹ never denied as you claimed.

22) You are not honest to have denied the Benin slogan of "Uhẹ ọrọ biẹ Ọba" (From Uhẹ came our Ọba) that placed you as totally dishonest.

How Ekaladerhan became Ododuwa/ Oduduwa by extant history is not an opinion for you to contend with.

23) Benin is not claiming that they owned Yoruba, but Oduduwa was of the scion of Ogiso as Ekaladerhan, which the Yoruba historians deliberately misconstrued as Oduduwa descended from heaven in 1100AD.

24) Ogiamiẹn was never of the lineage of Ogiso dynasty. But Evian and their family lineage for hereditary were never the same. Yet everyone is of the Idu heritage.

25) If you talk of the books written by Egharevba, whose mother was from Akure as your grandmother from Ife had not gotten the Benin history in its proper perspectives.

26) Egharevba was never blind after writing the book and was never blind before he received the chieftaincy Title in Benin.

27) Oranmiyan as Explorer with another was then a friend of the Ogiamiẹn when he arrived Igodomigodo, as you said, as explorer nobody invited them to Igodomigodo. Yet he could not establish a kingdom, but let Ogiamiẹn be on the throne? And until the Elders enthroned Oba Eweka, the people of Igodomigodo allowed Ogiamiẹn to be Ogiso? That sounds funny. Yet Oba dynasty continued to date. Wonderful!

28) If Oranmiyan came on his own, how was the Ọba dynasty or kingdom established over many centuries that Ogiamiẹn ceased to exist as ruler? On your care to answer!

29) You said no missing Prince, but Ekaladerhan was never a commoner. Ekaladerhan never died at Ughọtọn. Yet you are not arguing against a commoner but the Son of the last Ogiso Owodo - a Prince, who was banished for committing sacrilege, that paved way for Evian to be installed as republican administrator.

30) Therefore, Prof. Wole Soyinka is not qualified to establish our history. Before the Red Book the Ọba of Benin had already pronounced the position of the Benin to the Ooni of Ife long ago in the first Book by Oba Erediauwa of blessed memory.

31) The bronze casters never returned in the period of Ogiso dynasty but during the period of the Ọba dynasty. So your mixed up of the chronological order is embarrassing.

These 31 Points clearly shows how dishonest and disgruntled over the dislodging of Ogiamiẹn over nine (9) centuries ago. I hope you can fix it Mr. Uyi of Orhiọnmwọn and Ife.
