Why Great Benin Origins Must Celebrate Iden's Day

Image
  By Uwagboe Ogieva First Published 14th Febuary 2018.   Queen Iden was a heroines from Great Benin Empire. She gave her life as a sacrifice to save the Kingdom and depopulation of the Great Benin people during the reign of Oba (King) Ewuakpe. She is know as the queen of love to be celebrated every febuary.   Queen Iden was the faithful and beloved wife of Oba Ewuakpe of the great of Benin Kingdom. Ewuakpe became Oba (king) in the ancient Benin kingdom in about 1700 A.D and was the 54th monarch from the first milenium and the 27th from the second milenium.   Iden was the pride and embodiment of love, strength, courage, African beauty and feminity, who as a queen, stood behind her husband Oba Ewuakpe, as he faced a turbulent period, when there was a revolt in the Kingdom and there was a demand for a sacrifices to clean the land.

Economic Utility of IGUE: African Festival in Benin* *By Uwagboe Ogieva

  *Economic Utility of IGUE: African Festival in Benin* *By Uwagboe Ogieva* *First Published 4th Of June, 2010* Amongst festivals celebrated over the globe today, Igue festival is up-to- date with significant monument of the past historical facts of the Great Benin Empire before the coming of Europeans (missionaries) into Benin. It is coined in the memory of what led to the 1897 war of the Benin massacre that cannot be forgotten or left to be buried in order to knowing it’s importance among other activities, as a reference point to tracing and in remembrance of how the artifacts looted by the British undertakers are where they are today in Britain. I am aware that Igue festival is approximately a month celebration or more, so the need to plan and project activities for a one month extravaganza in Benin City to boost economic development of the state and nation. For sake of brevity will recommend “Igue Festival” by Prof. Ademola Iyi-Eweka, PhD for those who have limited knowledge...

Edo United Nation Forward Looking Strategy

Image
  Edo United Nation Forward Looking Strategy EDO UNITED NATION FORWARD LOOKING STRATEGY By Reggie Akpata 22 November 2014 GEOGRAPHICAL SPACE A starting point is the pre 1991 Edo state boundaries bordered by Ondo and Delta State.We have enough trouble ahead unifying even this limited geographic space so let's start here.Inside the pre 1991 state we are faced with people who swear they're not Edos; some say they're Fulanis, Yorubas and so on. To lump in an Ondo (that at the moment have made hay with their apportioned share of BRD) could be viewed as naive, same with Delta: Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhorobos who aren't likely to turn their autonomy in and take the risk of electoral politics when you have the population they don't.We have to be realistic; get what we can get and then negotiate with these groups.By insisting that they are part of this revolution can also mean no revolution at all; please even if it is one ward, we should declare our Indepen...

Think of death and be humble

Image
 *Think of death and be humble* By Uwagboe Ogieva 13th March, 2021 Death is inevitable. Every living thing have a lifespan. A time to grow and a time to die. Doesn't matter whether rich or poor, young or old, strong or weak, short or tall, handsome or urgly, black or white. "All that ever breath count will stop count"(Uwagboe Ogieva). While few knows when their breath will stop count, many do not know. Is death actually a gain or loss? as magnified by Benson Idahosa? Death is that moment you sleep and cannot open your eyes again. when your breath stops in a moment, loose consciousness of all that exist around you. When in a moment you loose touch with reality, loose sight and images of life. Loose all you've ever known, you ever have, you ever worked for, loose all you ever acquire to others without coming back again to retake, reclaim, dictates or partake. "Ede uwu iro foo" (when you die, all your thoughts ends) - Great Benin proverb "Ai wu mu agbon rr...

How Edostory can be revived

Image
* How Edostory can be revived * By Uwagboe Ogieva     The most courageous act is still to think for yourself, find yourself, love yourself, live by yourself and for yourself. Life is not a bed of roses, No more free meal in freetown. Everything evolves when one finally learns that one deserve so much better with a change of mind and attitude.  Human existence depends on their collective and co-relative survival as a nation. A nation is a stable community of people formed on the basis of a common language, territory, history, ethnicity, or psychological make-up manifested in a common culture. A large group of people having a common origin, language, and tradition. It could also be overtly political than an ethnic group for ethnic groups.   The Great Benin Nation of west Africa is one surviving precolonial Africa nation with its uniqueness, culture, language, history and geographical identity, situated in the Bight of Benin of the Atlantic occean t...
