A Benin Warrior Chief Plaque.
Dapper [A.D. 1668] refers to a High Red Turkish cap worn by Warriors. He wrote that the Oba Of Benin could call out 20,000 armed men in a day and, if needed, 80,000 men.

Landolphe, who made several visits to Benin City from 1778 on, recorded that the king of Benin could raise 100,000 men in twenty-four hours.

The Empire of Benin ruled and founded many kingdoms in today's Southern Nigeria. Its history is abundant with concrete facts and evidence. The Benin people have kept the images of past Ogisos and Obas alive through their incredible bronze carvings.

The people of Igbanke speak a dialect that blends Edoid language roots with Igbo borrowings. While some people think Igbanke is an “Igbo town,” this is not accurate—it is best described as an Edoid town with strong cross-cultural exposure.

There is a prophecy that says the Edo empire will be rebuilt from its ashes and the Ezomo’s bloodline will once again take their place to defend the kingdom and the crown 👑

The prophecy by high priest (ohen) Ebohon said that all looted edo artifacts will be returned to the kingdom by Europeans or before 2058,
And all eyes will witness this!

Before the arrival of Europeans, there was a prophecy that the Edo empire will fall by “ebo” (Europeans).
The fall of the empire was inevitable although it came late years after he was gone but the prophecy was inevitable.

And it came to pass than we fell to the British.

The Return Of 119 Benin Looted Bronzes-1897, From the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Yesterday 18th, June witness the historical return of 119 Benin Bronzes that was looted, stolen, by the British in 1897. This artwork that are more than 5,000 in numbers was forcefully taken from Oba Ovoranmen palace, and a large proportion of them sold to countries all over the world by the British to cover the expenses of the Benin Expedition. Netherlands, being one of the country that bought these bronzes from them to correct past colonial wrongs, repatriated the Benin Artifact in her museum.
This will be the largest sum ever repatriated since the invasion. HRM Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare N'Ogidigan ll, already entrusted the NCMM, National Commission For Museum and Monuments for the management of the artifacts, were it will be opened for public view.
