*SO "NEXT OF KIN" IS USELESS IN THE BANK.*

*THE REAL THING NEEDED IN THE BANK IS*
👇👇
*IF YOU DIE TODAY, YOUR "NEXT OF KIN" WILL NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT!!!*

*So Many Nigerians Think That Their Next Of Kin Is The Automatic Heir To Their Accounts. But The TRUTH Is That If Your Next Of Kin Is Not A Signatory To Your Account, And You Don’t Have A Written Will To Determine That Person’s Legitimacy, The Person Will Not Have Access To That MONEY At All. Your Bank Will Have To Go Through A Process Called A LEGAL PROBATE.*

*This Probate Period Helps Them Determine Who Gets The MONEY In Your Account. This Is A Very Very Lengthy And Expensive Process. Even After The Whole Process Is DONE, Your FAMILY Will Have To FORFEIT Some Very REASONABLE Amount Of The MONEY For LEGAL FEES.*

*But If You Want To Avoid This, Simply Request For Your Bank To Give You Something Called A POD Form. POD Stands For "PAYABLE ON DEATH". The Name Of The Person You Fill In That POD Form Will Determine Who Will Get Your MONEY. All The Person Needs To Bring Is A Death Certificate To Get That MONEY Out.*

*With A POD Form, You Will Save Your FAMILY The Stress Of Going Through All That Lengthy Legal Process And Even Losing Some MONEY To The Law.*

*I Just Thought, I Should Let You Have Record Of This Important Information*

ENOGIESHIP vs ODIONWERESHIP;

The word Enogie means some one sent by Ogie (in this case Ogie iso meaning King Of The Sky), it is derived from two words 'gie' which means 'sent message' meaning representative of Ogie.

While an Odionwere, contrary to the understanding of many, is neither the oldest person in a street nor the first person to build a house there but the head of the whole age grade organization because if the above were so, it is logical to conclude that in a community, there would be a number of Odionweres; an idea that has no place in the Benin Kingdom, modernism nevertheless the Odionweres and the Enogies help in administration of various parts of the Benin Kingdom.

In our traditional system, the ediọn (elders) are the repository of the law, customs and traditions of the community, led by the Ọdiọn owere and together with the Enogie constitute an administrative and judicial council for the community.

The position of an Enogie is hereditary; never to be dragged. In fact, every Enogie is said to have a link with the Obaship lineage i.e. with Oba Ewuare II, the Oba of Benin who is the overall head of Benin/Edo kingdom which comprises of Edo speaking areas.

Indeed, that is why the Oba has the sole right to “install and suspend” his brothers as Enogies where they will be completely avoided (aburho) and the Ọdiọn were takes charge of the affairs of the affected communities. Isihor and Oluku for instance fall in that category of no-Enogie and Siluko is however said to have recently got one a few years ago from Oba Erediauwa of blessed memory.

With some rituals, Ọdiọn weres are installed by their respective Enogies BUT “in communities without Enogies or suspended Enogies, the Ọdiọn were reigns supreme and is installed by the community elders who communicate recognition in that regard to the Ọmọ N’Ọba, Ọba of Benin”

However, in the course of disguised exploitation we were subjected to, most of these cherished values lost their saltiness, and as a result, were trampled upon, and are still being trampled upon with various degrees of harm.

Nonetheless, some have survived the tempest and elephantine fury of modernization. Two beautiful ones are the Enogie and Ọdiọn were valued institutions of one of Africa’s oldest kingdoms; the Benin Kingdom.

In summary, Enigies who disobey the rules and laws of the land can/will be suspended until their reign is over (after they pass away) while the affairs of the affect communities, will be headed by the Ọdiọn were as assigned by the Oba of Benin.

Long live the Oba of Benin kingdom, Ọmọ N’Ọba N’Ẹdo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II.

From Ogiso( king of the sky) to Oba ( the light)

As a people, we are the descendants of Pa IDU, we are Igodomigodo, we are Ekaladerhan also know as Oduduwa, we are Benin, we are Ẹdo, the kingship of our kingdom is more than 2,000 years, we started with Ọdiọnwe, to Ogiso and to Oba, during the time of Pa IDU our progenitor we became IDU with Ọdiọnwe government which gave birth to creating an Altar for the spirit of IDU to bear witness in all we do to ourselves as his children, the people of Edo still have this Altar till date, then we moved to Ogiso Government and from IDU as a people we became Igodomigodo which gave birth to the creation of Ada and Ẹbẹn as a sovereign Government, due to what happened in the Palace of Ogiso Owodo, having just a child which is Ekaladerhan, this make one of the wife's of Ogiso became jealous by swapping the story that Ekaladerhan must die before the Monarch Ogiso can have other children, this is why Ekaladerhan was taken out of the Palace to be killed but the Igodomigodo soldiers that was sent to kill him let him go, when he was in the Bush, him Ekaladerhan meet some Igodomigodo hunters because of this fear that his father might send some Igodomigodo soldiers to kill him, him run away from the village know as Ekaladerhan to Ile Ife meaning I have run and I have escaped in Edo language, back in Igodomigodo, Ogiso Owodo still couldn't have a child and this lead him to using a pregnant woman for sacrifice and this lead to a revolution in the kingdom of Igodomigodo and Ogiso Owodo was banished from Igodomigodo kingdom by the people of Igodomigodo this bring him Evian N' Urriebe for administrative purposes this lasted from 1130 AD to about 1170 AD which is about 40 years and Ogiamiẹn from 1170 AD to 1200 AD which is 30 years all these brought about the Ogiamiẹnism that lead to the unrest in the land of Igodomigodo because it has come to the hearing and knowledge of the people that their Prince Ekeladran is still alive and is in Ile Ife which means I have run and I have escaped in Ẹdo language, this is what motivated the Royal House of Igodomigodo lead by chief Oliha to go to Ile Ife the land of I have run and escaped in Edo language to search for their Prince, Prince Ekaladerhan to become Ogiso in Igodomigodo, take note the Ile Ife people or monarch never invaded Igodomigodo, it was the people of Igodomigodo that went to bring him their son the Prince of Igodomigodo, Prince Ekaladerhan now know as Oduduwa in Ile Ife which means I have run and I have escaped in Edo language back to Igodomigodo to become the Ogiso of Igodomigodo but Ekaladerhan now know as Oduduwa is too old to return back to his kingdom Igodomigodo but sent Oranmiya to became the next Ogiso with the blessing of Ada and Ẹbẹn from the people of Igodomigodo, when he got to Igodomigodo, the people of Igodomigodo celebrated but Anti Royalist Ogiamiẹn refused them entry and the people of Igodomigodo lead by the Edion built a Palace at Usama for him, due to language and cultural handicap Oranmiya could not stay in Igodomigodo but returned to Ile Ife and later went to create Oyo Kingdom, but before he returned he got married to Princess of Igodomigodo the daughter of Ogiehor who gave birth to the new Ogiso who inherit the Ada and Ẹbẹn and the Igodomigodo Edion named him Omo n'Oba n'Edo meaning the light that lighting the part of the Edo people which is the people of Igodomigodo, with the help of the people of Igodomigodo at 15 Years Oba Eweka the first became the first Oba of Igodomigodo also Know as the Oba of Great Benin Empire

Difference between Edo people and Edo state people

Edo people

Edo people commonly referred to as Benin or Bini people are from Southern Nigeria, mainly in Edo and Delta state. Their Endonym is “Edo” while Exonym is “Benin” due to their Great Benin kingdom. They speak the Edo language and are the descendants of the founders of the Benin Empire now Great Benin kingdom. Edo state was named after the Edo people or Ethnicity of Great Benin kingdom and the capital city of Great Benin empire was called “Edo” ( that’s why most people from Edo state rural area still vernacularly refer to now Benin city as Edo). Edo people are not only located in Oredo( headquartered Benin city ) local government of Edo state, they’re present in other 6/7 local governments area in the state and Orhionmwon LGA being the largest.
Edoid language groups was named after the Edo people of Great Benin kingdom since all others ethnic groups that speak Edoid languages, such as the Esan, the Afemai, the Isoko, and the Urhobo are offshoot or emanated from Great Benin kingdom although formerly referred to as Urbini, Igodomigodo, Aka, Idu.

Edo state people

Edo state people referred to Edo ethnicity and all other tribes that speak Edoid languages in Edo state such as Esan, Afeima, Oza, etc

Reason behind this difference

Although Edo people and Edo state people are one, due to their common history and ancestral roots but this difference is necessary because when other tribes in Edo state engage in bad act; they called their selves “Edo” and when they engage in “good act”; they called their selves by their tribe name such as Afeima, Esan etc.

Edo odion! Edo n’imose!
God bless humanity!

“I’m excited to share that I got admitted into the two most prestigious universities in the world: the Harvard University and the University of Oxford.

Particularly excited by the fact that I’m one of four (4) Nigerians admitted this year to the Harvard Law School LLM Programme — the most competitive law programme in the world — on a scholarship.

Also humbled to be one of the very few Nigerians admitted by the University of Oxford for the prestigious BCL Programme; humbled by the conferment of the Wiedenfeld Hoffmann Scholarship and recognised as a Hoffmann Scholar of Oxford.

I tell this story and add that these are the only two schools I have ever applied to for graduate studies and I got into both. That it happened this way, tells me something. They both did the right thing, I suspect, because this story is already written in the stars —this is merely the mortal manifestation of God’s ideal. I have no other explanation.

My parents are excited, but also pleasantly confused. This is beyond them. Because from where we come, folks don’t wake up and dream of Harvard or Oxford. In fact, my mum only recently learnt how to correctly pronounce “Harvard”. Now, she describes me in our dialect as “the child who was born with gold in his hands”. My siblings are tirelessly proud of me. I’m happy for them.

God has been kind to me. Beyond the pomp and circumstance of self-pride in my efforts and the brilliance that went into this process, my recurring feeling is self-perpetuating gratitude to God and to all those he used along the way to make this a reality. I have amazing sponsors, mentors and friends around me. I love and appreciate them all. Can I forget how immensely supportive they have been to me? Certainly not, not in this lifetime of promise and pleasant surprises.

Today, I woke up in Boston, Massachusetts. I’ll be undertaking my LLM Programme at the Harvard Law School for the next year with focus on Corporate & Project Finance. God is writing a meaningful biography on my behalf — this is my favorite chapter yet — and I’ll come back to tell you how this ends. “

Mr Ogedegbe Destiny is a proud Orhionmwon son! A proud Edo son. A proud Nigerian.
