The Edo Exploration

One  of  the  most  fascinating  stories  of  history  is the  Benin  empire.  The  Benin  Empire  was  a flourishing  city,  rich  in  culture,  infrastructure and  a  stable  economy  in  trade. With  a  stain  of  the  Bini  ancestry  in  her  blood  as an  indigene  of  the  Ekpeye  people  of  Rivers State,  I decided to  dig  deeper  into  the  culture  and history  of  the  people  of  Edo  State  understanding their  reverence  for  the  all-father  Osanobua,    their enthusiasm  towards  ancestral  worship  and  their profound  respect  for  the  Crown. With  this  knowledge,  I  illustrated the affluence  of  the  royalty  and  his  entourage.
