“The Great Benin Kingdom is the Cradle of Black Civilization, and the Oldest Surviving Monarch in Africa”. The great Benin Kingdom has experienced two dynasties. History tells us that the Ogiso dynasty extended to the current Oba dynasty. In 1897, the British people invaded Benin Kingdom and dismantled the administrative system that our kings have established. The war gave preference to the British soldiers to loot thousands of Benin artifacts from the Oba palace. The Benin people are well known for their rich cultural heritage and tradition of resistance to colonial oppression.
