History of Nigeria from 11000 BC to 1500 AD

[@MikeOgbeide]

Your comments on Benin Empire was inaccurate. Oyo was a small area prior and never an empire.

[@Lifeofriley43]

Do some research before you come on public spaces to speak on anything The oyo empire had every Yoruba states under it and other external states in Nigeria like niger state. It also spread as far down to Cameroon, benin republic, Togo, Ghana, Niger, sierra leone, Dahomey, mali, bukinafaso and cotonu. Benin was never an empire but a kingdom. That's why there's only one state to it and only few benin speakers. Get your facts right!

[@Historyngpro]

I'll recommend the book "African Cultures and Societies Before 1885" by Ekechi et al. The chapter, "Kingdoms of West Africa: Benin, Oyo and Asante" should be very enlightening.

[@publichealth9470]

History is unconcerned with your emotions. Your animosity towards the Yorubas will not alter historical facts. The Ife Prince, who founded the Benin kingdom and established it as a principality, also founded Oyo. He left his infant son, Eweka, in Benin and ruled Oyo himself. Before Oranmiyan the Great's conquest, Ogiso was merely an uncivilized chiefdom, with no archaeological, cultural, or historical relevance. Notably, Benin was historically referred to as a kingdom, not an empire. Benin's renown stems from its sculptures, and historical and archaeological records show that its artisans learned this art from the Ife kingdom. Nigeria's actual empires were the Kanem-Borno and Oyo empires. Know this and know peace!

I very much enjoyed this video, particularly your mention of the smelting site in Lejja, Enugu State. It seems fairly certain the site dates to 2000 BC and one source I read said possibly 2600 BC. This would match or possibly pre date any other know site in the world. Given the tie of iron working to the birth of civilization, that's kind of important. I wonder if it's Western bias that most often cites ancient Anatolia as the birthplace of iron working?

[@Historyngpro]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Re Anatolia, I know what you mean, and I'm hoping it's because our discoveries are more recent that theirs, so work is still being done to confirm dates. For example, Nok was initially dated 500 BC until further testing confirmed it was much earlier. Thanks again for watching.

​@@Historyngpro Great job my brother. Am a Ngerian Historian, resident in Germany. Even though, there are ommisions, which is dependent on the historical materials you have at your disposal. The Histories of the ancient world before the first Egyptian dynasty, the Sumerian, Phoenician civilizations are ancient Nigerian civilizations, infact, Books like Tropical Dependency leads one to many other historical records, which are being kept in many Museums in the colonial Nations, hundreds of thousands of them. We also have proofs, that the first 5 dynasties of ancient Egypt, were the Phoenicians, the builders of the pyramids, the same who were in Atlantis and all over the continents of the world. The Pharaohs after the reign of Ptolemy were also ancient Nigerians, whose descendants today are the Hausas. The truths are hidden in the basements of the Oriental Museums of the colonial Nations, who literally cleaned out Africa, after the invasions of Kingdoms, countless genocides and of course, the cleaning of these Kingdoms wealth, thousands of tonnes of Gold, Silver, diamonds, precious stones, and so called artifacts were stolen by them. Please get in touch, if you want to know more, thats just a chip on the iceberg. The face of the Sphinx can only be predominantly found in South West Nigeria, the yorubas , who are the direct descendants of the Phoenicians. The colonizers changed our names over and over again, but our people never lost sight of who we are. There is a lot coming on this channel MotherlandAfricaSpeaks. Lest, without saying much, its the greatest conspiracy ever.

[@mch7933]

be careful how you date things in the era before European contact. Post-1500 History can be fairly well dated if we dutifully compare with European written sources. But talking about the dating of Igodomigodo with such assurance is huge mistake only someone without any background in history would make

Eri had two wives by the time he arrived at the Ezu Na Omambala confluence, Nneamaku, and Oboli who were the first and second wife respectively. Nneamaku bore five children Nri-Ifikwuanịm-Menri being the first son also known as Nri, Agụlụ, Ogbodudu, Onogu, and Iguedo the only daughter, while Oboli the second wife bore an only child Onoja. Onoja founded present-day Igala in Kogi state[6]. Eri’s first son Nri-Ifikwuanịm begot Agụkwu Nri, Enugwu-Ukwu, Enugwu-Agidi, Nọfịa, and Amọbia. His sister Iguedo begot Ogbunike, Ọkuzu, Nando, Ụmụleri, and Nteje which are known today as the Umu Iguedo clan. Onogu begot Ịgbariam. Eri’s first son Nri-Ifikwuanim was a spiritual priest like his father. He left Aguleri and settled at a thick forest he called Agu-Ukwu Nri[7] which is the present-day Nri Kingdom. Here he engaged in hunting, farming and also performed priestly duties and demonstrated his spiritual prowess just as his father Eri did.

[@kenoma1221]

This is false history. History according to Igbo Biafraud. You did a terrible job.

[@young1975]

Cool story. Where's your proof?

[@BENINMAN-dr6sg]

The ipob biafraud are very busy trying to distort the history of mostly the Benin empire and also of the rest of the southern part of Nigeria. They think that by doing this our children and our people will think that they are Biafrans. Just as they failed in 1967, they're going to fail. We the great Benin are not and will never be biafrans.
