NIGERIA AND WAZOBIA: THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF TRUTH. Edo The Largest Ethnic Nation of Nigeria

NIGERIA AND WAZOBIA: THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF TRUTH. Edo The Largest Ethnic Nation of Nigeria

Truth is the solid, real, and actual foundation on which an individual, an organization, a society, or a nation is build upon. A simple mud house built on sold
foundation may not only shelter the great grand children of the builder, but
can also be used to generate income for generations. A skyscraper built
on a shaky ground will not only crumble gradually, but even the children of
the builder would not want to die in its rubbles. I have studied the
Whiteman for a while, and I must admit that he is very smart and savvy in
controlling his affairs around the world. He wrote and documented lies
and truths. The lies he gave the world to read and to believe.

The truths he gave his children to keep, but to enforce the lies for others
to follow. The truth is like a throne that has been established.
You can remove it through conquest or make policies to intentionally
undermine it, as long as people follow it or hold on to it, it will always be
reestablished. It is just a matter of time and the determination of the people to follow through.

In one of my Anthropology classes back in the day, my professor was discussing how human settlement and civilization progressed from band to tribe, then to states,
and finally to nations. Nation was the highest form of civilization any
human could achieve, and examples of these were the United States, along with
many western European countries. While looking at the projector on the
wall, Nigeria, along with many other African countries, was considered a
state. The Benin Empire was considered a nation. I
unconsciously stood up right in front of the class, interrupted the
professor, and told the entire class that I was from the Benin Empire.
Only South Africa and ancient Egypt were the other Africans on the list of
nations. So Nigeria as a Whiteman’s establishment actually went
backward in civilization even by the Whitman’s standard, but in Nigeria, they
are so grateful that the Whiteman came to civilize us. He gave us the
lies to teach our children, but tells the truth in his universities away from
the African populace. Since many of our Nigerian leaders were schooled
abroad and must have heard these truths, why have they not implemented the
truth and achieve the economic and socio-political relevance of a
nation?

In my college days, the WAZOBIA Nigerians (Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba) could not understand why Americans respected my siblings and me so much. Whenever we went to
parties, while most WAZOBIA were running after non-Africans to proof that
they were accepted, the non-Africans would leave everyone to come greets us
and seat by us. I noticed it, but could never explain why. One
day, the New Provost of our University came to the student center to eat
lunch, and surprisingly, he came to eat with me at my table. It was
after this that one of my siblings began to tell me that the WAZOBIA have
been telling everyone they could find that in Africa/Nigeria that we (Benin -
Edo-Delta) were totally insignificant in the scheme of thing.
They also told them that we were armed robbers, carvers, and
prostitutes. They would even go as far as telling the Americans that
there is nothing in Benin City, only mud houses and bushes. Life did go
on, and soon one Yoruba girl was traveling to Nigeria. One of my
siblings wanted her to help him deliver a certain deodorant to someone in
Benin City, but the girl was genuinely shocked to find out that we use such
deodorant in Benin City.

After calming my younger brother down about the insult, I then told her that on her way to Nigeria, she needed to pay closer attention to the TV/information screen in the airplane. Her assignment was to tell me what she saw below the map of Nigeria all through her journey to
Nigeria through Europe. When she arrived, she passed her quiz by
telling me that she saw the “BIGHT OF BENIN”. I then asked her why a
Nigerian would think so lowly of Benin City (capital of the Benin Empire that
went from the west of eastern Nigeria to as far as Ghana), but the Europeans
they worship so much would label the entire coast of western Africa after
Benin. As expected, she gave me a colonized WAZOBIA answer. She
claimed it was named after the tiny country of Benin Republic. This was
not her fault, because even the WAZOBIA teachers in my primary school in
Benin City always taught this to us whenever we had to draw the map of
Nigeria. I also told her that the Benin Republic was named Benin
in 1975 because it was a former colony of the Benin Empire, and that the
Bight of Benin has been there since the 16th century on ancient
European maps. WAZOBIA is always fond of diffusing Nigerian history and
resources to other countries in order to maintain their WAZOBIA dominance in
Nigerian polity. They would say that Bright of Benin is not Nigerian,
and that Edo-Delta oil flows down from Egypt just because they want to
maintain power. So what if the Bight of Benin is part of Nigerian
history? Of what value is it to Nigeria today?

Many colonized and educated Africans would tell you that the color and race of Jesus does not matter. They would say that God is a spirit and our focus is to worship him and not debate him. Unfortunately, none of them have enough
Holy Ghost to tell us why the Europeans changed his color to White in 1505
and why there is always a White Jesus in the homes, churches, and bedrooms.
The point here is that those who build on their history tell other what to do
and control vast wealth in all the lands, but those who wonder or question
their past, are the slaves that depend on the former for sustenance.
There was a time that Portugal and Spain controlled the world to the extent
that the Pope had to divide the world into two for the sake of peace.

Portugal controlled the west and Spain controlled the East. The Benin
Empire fell into Portuguese territory. Portugal even invaded Benin City
twice in the 15th century to take control of the Bright of Benin
for commercial reasons but where defeated by the Benin Soldiers. This
was when Benin Empire entered the minds of the global community, and became friends with Portugal because of international trade. While Benin
exported spices and palm kernels to Portugal, they in turn brought coral
beads and cowries from the Mediterranean. Half a century later, Benin
people such as Oba Esigie, were already speaking Portuguese, not English, as
a foreign language of trade and commerce. Benin also had an Ambassador
in Portugal, and from what I understand, we also have a citizen
agreement. Does Nigeria even know this? Do you think WAZOBIA can
build upon these ancient agreements to promote trade and to make life more
conducive for Nigerians in Portugal and the rest of Europe? If so, what
has Nigeria done in modern time to build upon this agreement as a
nation? Is Benin not part of Nigeria, or must WAZOBIA always step on
Benin (the Niger delta) to erase its established influence for modern
Nigeria?

Nigeria forgets that a child that bends over to see another’s butt hole forgets that he exposes his own butt hole for the world to see. While Europe, Asia,
Jews, Arabs, and Americans are basing their economies and socio-political
might on ancient thrones, histories, and agreements that date back centuries,
Nigeria is settling for post colonial ideologies that enforce WAZOBIA.

The great nations of Europe are what they are today because they never interrupted their customs and traditional agreement, and base their trade and policies on ancient established order. England, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, and Holland have been defeated many times at war, but they still maintained their histories and built their modern order around it. It was when I
went to Washington DC in 1998 and took some High school students to see the
White House and the World Museums that I realized that even Washington DC,
the capital of the United States, the most advanced nation on earth, was also
the most traditional and most historic location in disguise, despite its
youthful establishment compared to Europe. The founding fathers of
America were mainly Freemasons. Almost everywhere in the Washington DC
area is filled with their symbols, secrets, and histories that they left
behind for their children and fellow members, who are suppose to maintain the
order of controlling the world.

When we got to the section for World Museums, I was surprised to see the Benin Empire there as well. I was so moved to tears to even see large pictures of the last three Obas (Ovonramwen, Akenzua, and Erediauwa) on the wall in
Washington, DC. There were also maps of the old Empire, our bronze
heads, and the history of Benin. I cried for Nigeria because WAZOBIA
says that the Edo-Delta people (southerners) are minorities, they say we
are insignificant in Nigeria, they say we are carvers, thieves, and
prostitutes, but they Whiteman secretly differs with the slave minded and
colonized WAZOBIA. Was this the attribute of the Edo-Delta people
before WAZOBIA was established? It is the Blackman that has lost his
soul, not the Whiteman. The Whiteman gave the Blackman lies to opening
him up for exploitation, but kept the truth in his land for his children.

Over 80% of Benin history was written by the Europeans out of
amazement. An Empire that rivaled Portugal and England in
military engagement as World powers, Kings that cold raise 100,000 men in a
day for any occasion, and a throne that controlled the ports of western
Africa.

Nigeria is sleeping and Benin Republic is quietly taking credit for the Bright of Benin. Even many global academia and encyclopedias are now saying
Republic of Benin was the ancient Benin Empire, but WAZOBIA does not care.
It does not promote the WAZOBIA control of Nigeria. Tomorrow, just like
Egypt has totally laid claim to the Suez Canal against European wish, the
international community will give the Bright of Benin to Benin Republic when
it is time to start making billions of dollars in trade at those western
African ports. Then, Nigeria will sit and wonder what happened like in
the case of losing Lake Chad and Bakassi Peninsula to its neighbors. Do
you know that Asaba was supposed to be the first capital of Nigeria?
Benin did not let the British settle there. Why is it that in 1997, the
British came to the same Benin to commemorate the conquest of Benin in
1897? Was Benin the only place that was conquered in Nigeria and in
Africa during the British Exploration of the world? When Queen
Elizabeth II came to Nigeria in the 1956, did she come to see WAZOBIA, Ooni
of Ife, Sultan of Sokoto, or the Oba of Benin? A sick man will never be
healed until he first agrees that he is sick and needs treatment. The
Whitman knows where the head of the Blackman is in Nigeria, but he has help
to set WAZOBIA up so that Nigeria can cut of his own head.

What is WAZOBIA compared to the ancient established thrones and orders of Europe in world polity? Where was WAZOBIA before the coming of the Whiteman? WAZOBIA is a slave and colonial creation that has given Nigeria nothing but inflation, devaluation of our currency, lack of global respect, military rule, corruption, disregard for human rights, and total break down of the Nigerian nation. It is time for a spiritual, historical, and drastic change in the leadership of Nigeria. Let the true descendants of the empire builders that Europe and America still reckons with build Nigeria once again. It is evident to me that the only group of people in Nigeria that traditionally does not regards the Whiteman as anything or can stand up and make demands that the world will respect are still around, but do not have the number to win elections. The Whiteman knows this and will do whatever it takes to keep WAZOBIA in office in Nigeria. There is always a difference between the man who wears the crown and the man who has a crown that fell on his head.

POLITICS OF NUMBERS : THE WAZOBIA LIES

There was no geographical entity or sovereignty called Nigeria before 1914. Therefore it is unclear when Nigeria came to be colonized by the British imperialists. Also, it is rather fallacious or subjective to analyse the strength of the ethnicity, in terms of population, of one section or tribe in the so-called Nigeria from the colonial and post –colonial era without any recourse to the majestic pre-colonial era of the more established ethnic groups now forcefully situate in Nigeria project. It suffices then to add that the biased yet forcefully imposed Wazobia philosophy of the so-called three major ethnic groups in Nigeria is not a pre-colonial orientation but a colonial on-slaught on the perceived 'stubborn' ethnic groups by the British, which has left sad legacies, even to this present day. Our problems today were cast in our colonial past.

Consequently, there were smaller or rather not so established groups that were politically empowered by the colonial masters-greatly due to their Willy submissiveness. These groups suddenly found themselves with so much power and sought to do whatever it took to continue from where their masters left off.


Today, Nigeria's political history with its multifaceted myriads of social-economic and developmental problems can be traced to the caricature social-political foundation, a legacy established by the British. That is why state creation has become a venture, which seeks to continue the political domination of the rest of the country. There are major ethnic groups in Nigeria as purported and now taught by the Wazobia three- Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, and as seen in the lumping of other several ethnic groups into geo-political zones.
Now, do the political math; are the Hausa the major tribe in the North-East, North-Central or North-West? What about the Yorubas, are they the only ones in the South-West or the Igbos the only tribe in the South- East?

Again, if there are over 250 spoken languages in Nigeria with a population of over 150 million people, is anyone suggesting that the Wazobia three put together are over a 100 million people? Do the math and you will see it is just a numbers game. It is therefore fallacious to use state creation as a mean of increasing the population of the 'Wazobia three'. The idea now is to create more states in any of the geo-political zones and it would either be; one more for the Hausa (North), Igbo (South-East) or Yoruba (South-west). It is on this formula they share the resources and manpower quota at the expense of justice and fairness. Are we one people in one nation?

Nigerians can no longer endure such ultra-ethno-ideological philosophy of domination because its orientation is colonial and a hindrance to the general development of the entire country. We must not wish away the myriads of problems it has stamped on the overall growth and advancement of the people. Politics of numbers as it were is a colonial mentality and it is seen in; our inability to organize genuine census to determining our actual population, our inability to get competent manpower to run the affairs of government and its functionaries, our inability to make or rather establish firm nationalistic ideologies for growth, poor distribution of educational infrastructure, our inability to sustain the cultural heritage of the people of today's Nigeria… I maintain, the politics of numbers is a Wazobia three lies and should be challenged.
It is no longer a mirage that the level of mistrust has assumed frightening heights in the country amongst the various ethnic groups today.

EDO THE LARGEST ETHNIC GROUP IN NIGERIA:

SOME WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR REAL ORIGIN.
BUT JUST DO YOUR THOROUGH RESEARCH YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THIS HISTORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ.

Who are the Edo people?

EDO, is what you can describe as the "generic name given to a group of people who have a common ancestor and have a common language, with some different variants, depending on the distance between the group and the " tap root, " resident in and around the present day Benin City. In short, the land, the political state, the people, tribe, language and the principal city -Benin City is called EDO. At a point in the history of these people, another name called BENIN came into use. These Edo-speaking people are divided into the following clans today:

a) " BINI " derived from the word Benin for people living in and around Benin City, in Edo State. People living in and around Benin City, are gradually accepting the word BINI, as descriptive of their clan. Otherwise, they prefer to be simply called EDO.

b) ESAN/Ishan-for the immediate neighbor to the north are people living in around Irrua, Orhodua, Uromi, Ubiaja, Ewu, Ewatto, Igueben and the almighty Evbohimwin (Ewohimi))" the city by the big river " or " the city of Ikhimwin trees " etc.

c) The Afemais known as IVBIOSAKON by those living in and around Benin City to the north of Ishan/Esan clan.

d) Akoko-Edos based in Igarra, Ibillo and its environs to the north of Afemais.

e) The Owans-ORAS occupying Eme, Sabogida-Ora, Afuze, etc. Uhobe (SOBE) and Ifon in Ondo State.

f) Ekas-to East of Benin. A sizeable chunk of the Edo speaking people flow across River Niger and ending at ONITSHA.

g) Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiris and about 70% percent of western Izon (Ijaws) in Ndegeni and its environs

h) A sizeable chunk of the Edos is found in River States and Balyesa States e.g. Ogba land and Diobu, Port Harcourt.

i) A sizeable chunk has been " Yorubanised in Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos and Ogun States. The descendants of Edo soldiers stationed in Akure are referred to today as ADO-AKURE (Edo ne ’kue) There are many Edos in Ekiti land, Idoani, Idanre etc going through life in Nigeria with Yoruba names. Acculturation has taken place. You are either a Yoruba man or you go nowhere.

j) The ILAJE community at OKITIPUPA and its environs.

k) The Edos who conquered and settled far way land like Dahomey, Togo and Ghana.

The Edo language is part of the Kwa-Niger group of languages according to Linguist. These people have lived were they are now for " Thousands of years." The monarchy centered in Benin City is about 6000 years old, including pre-ogiso and Ogiso era of history. All the clans had various functions, which they perform at the palace. For example, the Ishans/Esans were principally the medicine men and warriors of the ancient empire. They were the medical practitioners. The chieftancy groups responsible for the Oba's well being are dominated by Ishan/Esan descendants. The Ivbiosakon (Afemais) were the dental surgeon of the palace. That is the origin of the name IVBIOSAKON. Oba Esigie assigned that function to them in the c1500's.

The Owan/Ora people were the propitiators of the physical earth for the Oba of Benin. It was their responsibility to prevent things like earthquake, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes and anything associated with geological disturbance to occur in Benin. In short, they were the geologists and weathermen of their day, forecasting and preventing physical calamities. Those we call BINIS today, were the traditional bureaucratic administrators and military generals. The Izons (Ijaws) were the " OZIGUE" -SAILORS The Ekas were farmers. They were in charge of the royal farms.

The Ibos across the Niger call the Edos, IDU, the name of the progenitor of Edo race, the Yorubas call us ADO, which is a corruption of the word EDO. However, the Itsekiris, another sub group in the Edo clans call us UBINI. Tradition asserts that it is derived from ILE-IBINU, which is descriptive of the exasperation and frustration encountered in Benin City, by Prince Oranmiyan of ILE-IFE. A further research may prove that, it was the Itsekiris who gave that name, to the people living in and around Benin City. The Itsekiris told the white man of the powerful overlord living in Igodomigodo. It was the Itsekiris who told the Whiteman that the name of the tribe of this powerful king was UBINI- a term which Whiteman corruptly wrote down as Benin. For example, the name of the eldest daughter of Oba Osewende, the mother of the OSULAS and the AIWERIOGHENES is today known as AGHAYUBINI. A closer examination of that name would reveal that the name is an Itsekhiri phrase-" The Ubini Lady or woman " i.e. the woman from Benin. Aghayubini was a very wealthy trader among the Itsekiris, from whence she got the money she used, is getting the throne for her brother, who became Oba ADOLO. An Itsekhiri descriptive phrase has simply over powered her original Edo name, to the extent that nobody knows anything about it now.

The ancient Edo/Benin Empire covered the whole of Bendel, parts of Bayelsa State and I repeat Balyesa State. The second son of the Enogie of Brass, popularly known as IYASE NE OHENMWEN became the Iyase of Benin under Oba Osewende. Iyase Ohenmwen is the ancestor of the OTOKITIS, THE OKEAYA-INNEH AND THE AIWERIOGHENES of Benin today. It also covers the IGBO-speaking areas of Delta State stretching to Onitsha. People hardly know that the actual title of the Obi of Onitsha is AIGBOGHIDI. The historical Chief Agho Obaseki of Oba Ovoranmwen era and later the Iyase of Benin under Oba Eweka II, was a descendant of the second son of Enogie of NSUKWA now in Delta State. It extended to the whole of Ondo State, parts of Ekiti and Ogun State and the whole of Lagos State including BADAGRY. It stretched to southern Dahomey (Republic of Benin) and on to the coast of Togo and Ghana.

THE OWANS /ORAS:

Oba Ozolua is traditionally regarded as the ancestor of the Owans/Ora. He was known as Prince Okpame before he became known as Oba Ozolua. He had sought refuge in Uwokha in Ivbiosakon areas in c1473. From Uwokha, Oba Ozolua founded Ora and other villages. Oba Ozolua was a warlord. He beat the people of Uzea near Uromi to a pulp when there was a revolt. He extended his carnage to Uromi when the Enogie was reported to have been rude to his messengers. He went up through Akoko land, wandering into Nupe lands where he acquired a lot of sophisticated weaponry then. He attacked the Igallas and Igbirras in the present Kogi and Kwarra states. After spending the greater part of his life in ORA, he left behind his son UGUAN and returned to Benin City.

But before he left, he proclaimed everybody free men and free women, entitled to enjoy the privileges of Edo princes and Princesses, for all the services they had rendered in his military campaigns. That is why the Oras call themselves today, the CHILDREN OF OZOLUA. Besides being in charge of propitiating the physical earth, they are responsible for ritually exorcising any harm that might come upon the EDO NATION-the land due to violation of sexual or other taboos. Their GUILD, quartered at EVBORHAN quarter in OGBELAKA in Benin City by Oba Esigie, demands steep fines from the culprits for their services.

A few years ago, the Oba of Benin created an Ogie-Duke-traditional rulership for the Oras because of popular demand.

The green color is the true map of Edo territories make this campaign know to the unknown 
Edo is not a minority in their Land. EDO is an umbrella that cover all.
