BRIEF HISTORY OF ISSELE-UKU

As chronicled by Prince Chris Afumata Akeh- Osu in The History of Great Isi-Ile-Uku (Issele-Uku) Kingdom

Isi-Ile-Uku, “Issele-Uku” Kingdom was founded by the Binis in about 1230 AD by Oba Eweka 1 of Benin Empire and first Ogie of the kingdom was Prince Uwadiaie who was the second son of Oba Eweka 1.

The original name of the new kingdom carved out of Benin Empire “Isi-Ile-Uku” signifies relationship with the Benis and Oba of Benin-City ‘Uku akpolokpolo Omonoba n’edo’.

When Oba Eweka 1 created the new Benin outpost of Isi-Ile-Uku now pronounced Issele-Uku, his main objectives was to check and stop the influx of the movement of people from East of the River Niger, and people from Igala land into the Edo land West of the River Niger, for farming and fishing operations. Also to use Isi-Ile-Uku, the new outpost and kingdom, as a defensive outpost to the Benin Empire and moreover for expansion purposes.

Prince Uwadiaie, the second son of Oba Eweka 1, was crowned Ogie ‘King’ by his father Oba Eweka1 of Benin Empire about 1230 A.D. and sent to rule the Bini new kingdom of ISI-ILE-UKU in company of a group of Binis, worriors, administrators, chiefs and other princes of the royal family of Benin from Ogbe, Ehaekpen, Idumu Inaleibiwe, idumu Igun, Idumu Iken, Idumu Isama and Idumu Ugboka. Members of the royal family of Benin were settled at Ehaekpen of Issele-Uku.

These Bini quarters – Ogbe and Idumu are now called Isheakpe, Ogbidibo, Idumu-Inele Ebigwe, Idumu Uzu, Idumu Ikem, Idumu Ozoma, Idumu Onishe, Idumu Ihama, Idumu Isama and Idumu Edemoka “Umu edomoka” at Ogboli. The present language of the people of Issele-Uku has changed slightly the original pronounciations.

The Oba of Benin in the days of old had real suzerainty over the kingdom of ISI-ILE-UKU. The new kingdom of ISI-ILE-UKU was gladly hailed in Benin then as an Eastern extension of Benin empire. In fact, the kings of ISI-ILE-UKU have paraphernalia and relics of kingly office as the

Now having shown you the information the District officer of Benin collected about Ogiamien including the meaning in his intelligence reports.
Here is a documented Benin historical account by Daryl Peavy page 138 of his book.
And so I have provided two evidence to disprove this your fable.
I will only take you serious if you provide a single documented history to support your claims about the meaning of Ogiamie.
If not let the world know that your lies, hatred and mischief knows no bound.
If Benin historical account lied the intelligence reports by the District officer could not have lied.
And even if that of the district officer of Benin district was incorrect but documented Benin historical account are there.

"In the meantime the people became intolerant of Ogiso Owodo. They eventually banished him from the throne for mismanaging the kingdom and killing a pregnant woman was the ultimate taboo. Ogiso Owodo fled to Ihimwirin just outside Igodomigodo (Benin city).
There was vacancy on the throne during the time between the banishment of Ogiso Owodo and the second dynasty's kings.
During the interregnum the Edion Nene appointed the great and noble Evian and his son Ogiamien to successfully administer Igodomidodo (Benin kingdom)
Evian was already a national hero for killing the monster Osogan, and was a logical choice as administrator of the kingdom.
Evian as Okaevbo administered along with his son.
After Evian was stricken with old age, he sought to appoint his son Irrebor or Ogiamien as the successor.
The Igodomigodo (Edo) people gave Irrebor the name Ogiamien.
Ogiamien was a corruption of the Igodomigodo (Edo) expression Ogie Mianwen (To serve a king was too difficult)
Ogiamien mismanaged the government and opposed the restoration of monarchial system of traditional rule.
However the Kingmakers disputed and eventually refused the appointment of Ogiamien because of thier strong desire to maintain traditional ruler form of government".

The Islamic vote was divided three ways amongst Waziri Atiku, Asiwaju Tinubu and Kwankwaso. Meanwhile, the Christian vote was largely united behind Obi. Yet, look at the result! No matter the provocation, Christians must NEVER allow future elections be about religion. It will not serve us well! We are in the heat of the moment and people are not yet thinking calmly. When you say these obvious truths, some of the very people who would benefit are the first to insult you with the vilest abuse. But no matter how we sugarcoat it, this election says a lot about the power of the Christian bloc vote.

Oya, insult me. The people that don't know how to insult know how to vote and we are seeing their power.
