Medicinal and Penicillin......

Before the European invasion of Africa, African people had developed a medical system based on plants and herbs to cure illnesses. Egypt, Southern Africa, West Africa and parts of East Africa had the most advanced medicine. They used plants with salicylic acid for pain, kaolin for diarrhea, and other extracts to kill bacteria.

KEMET physicians made use of a wide variety of medicinal plants, but the most numerous remedies were purgatives and emetics. The cathartic oil of the castor plant was used both as an internal drug and as a medication for wounds and irritated areas.

‎Bright Mamuzo‎ to RADIO NIGER-DELTA

Yesterday at 5:32pm · 

I love the benin's systematically, but they have lost their glory to the Yoruba, which they see today as gods. before it was only the bini kings bear the title of oba, the king in ife is call the ooni of ife , the one in oyo is call the alaafin of oyo the one in Lagos is call the aleko of eko and so many in every part of Yoruba land, it was only in Benin that we have the OBA of Benin, but after 1954 traditional council conference host in Benin that others started adopting the name oba to there kings cause the attendance list of that meeting is still kept till date.

this Yoruba people being the most educated and expose people wrote the culture and tradition of most ethnic groups and stole the cultural inheritage through that means. ask a Yoruba man the meaning or while lagos is call eko, he doesnt know but eko is indigenous to the bini eko means a battle field. that land is use by the bini to invite enimies for war rather than invading their town killing women and children. you can see that even before the advent of colonialism no one thought Africans for the protection of human right. but todays the yoruba has claimed the land eko known as Lagos today, if the Benin says they own some part of igbo land let them collect back Lagos before IMO, anambra or abia can be giving to them. watch my post am not siding any but I blame the bini's of those days.

Eke. with little dialictcle difference in both edoland igalaland igboland and idomaland ect even outside nigeria in those places the whiteman divided our people those are people from same ancestry.edo people migrated in this part of the country with NRI their leader.don't be decieved you have nothing in common with Yoruba people.

The word Nigeria was giving to Edo People by a lovely white woman on the 8 January 1897 one month before Benin City was burn down by the same person husband who was a white slave masters! so how in the Gods name can we be proud of the name and word Nigeria! by the way her name is Flora Shaw and she just happen to be friends with 3 lovely white men who just hated black people Cecil Rhodes, George Goldie and Frederick Lugard

My brother Itsede,let me be very brief here. If you Google Emai  people in Wikipedia, you will see that I am a Prince from Afemai. That alone is enough for me to indulge in unproductive egoistic distortion of my history as some people are doing now in other Benin settlements like Etsako,urhobo, Isoko,etc. Note that I use the word" egoistic" Yes,claiming that you are not Benin is not only borne out of useless communal ego but I see it as a criminal distortion of history and self insult. It is not consistent with common sense and logic because your contemporary ( not ancient history) listed you as Benin. You speak a Benin dialect,you practice Benin custom though adulterated with foreigners' inputs like Islam. You bear Benin names. You live in a precolonial Benin land and yet,you try to differentiate yourself from a Benin man. I don't get it. My Royal primogenitor is Oba Ewuare. I cannot change it. It will be tantamount to me telling my father that I have discovered things that will make me stop from being his son. I know that some Benin persons currently living in Benin city ant its immediate environs do not help matters. They claim to be more Benin than the other benins living outside Edo South. They have forgotten that you cannot be more Benin than the trusted sons of the soil who were holding garrisons outside the main city to stop enemies from attacking. You cannot find Benin slaves or domestic servants descendants in Esan or Afemai or Agbor. But you can find them in Benin city itself because their ancestors were never trusted to live outside the main city for fear of betraying and aligning with the enemies. That has been the practice by all great kingdoms. They allow their princes and nobles to hold garrisons and form new settlements outside the main enclaves but they would never allow slaves or servants to do that. Finally, Benin is not the traditional name. It is Idu,Igodomigodo or Edo. Benin was later controversially adopted. So,if you do not like Benin out of personal and overbloated ego,then,think of Edo. No insult or disrespect meant to any person of any clan reading this. But I had to say something the way our history recorded it.thanks.

 1) Edo did not conquered Lagos but founded it. (2) The Portuguese meant Benin(Edo) There not the other way round infact it wasn't a place as you have it now.. .Bros, nobody is coming to drive you from your house in lagos but just let history be what it is. I hear some say language language language.. Yes, do you know that forcing language on Benin Kingdom citizens wasn't their concern. In fact the raw Benin Language was kept exclusively for the palace. Till today you have some palace language unknown to The Edos themselves but certain palace chiefs. Benin Language then was sacrid and handled differently. Most towns and cities as you have it today wasn't so or there as you viewing 2015.. most were established by princes and migrants from benin and not conquered. Migrants keep mixing and dialects grows and spread but the head remains. common sense.
