@frankonX_ Lol edo is really funny at times, yo - can means to wear and not to wear, depending on how it's pronounced...
English
@Edocentric_ Ah okay โNโovien yoโ sounded like โthat commoners wearโ I guess it depends on the tone

I wonder why no one has ever brought this up before but I find it intriguing that Some Benin armor had Pteruges/Pteryges (Those strips of linen or leather often attached to Greco-Roman armor, forming a defensive skirt) despite never being exposed to the Greco Roman world

This is one of the most popular Olรณkลซn statue in the center of Benin City, with a mermaid on her side. The cement sculpture and reflecting pool were made by late Felix Idubor in the 80s.
The central figure is identified as either Imene/Ora n'sidova (Olรณkลซn favorite wife) or Igbaghon (Olokun consort), Benin City,ca.19991.

Patience Obazelu at her shrine to Olรณkun and Mammy-wata,Benin City,ca.1989.
The Indian chromoliths atop the red covered table delinates this Mammy wata shrine from the adjacent one to olokun. Contemporary popular culture, particularly evident in movie posters, is an important part of patience's Mammy wata practice.

I'm making a write up on names in olรณkun
She's so pretty that any Benin olรณkun Priestess or devotee that chooses imene/imadese as their olokun initiation are always the prettiest type of women, their "Shakara" is out of this world, they do say they are the ones whom the ground begs before they match the earth...

A silver medallion from Indonesia sold as a Buddha image. It displays all the features of an Oba commemorative head, which, at first glance, one will think it's part of the Benin bronzes. Featuring the Oba's crown, the ikan'ro, and beaded collar.

@shashamura001 We did not only own it, we exported it, focus on yemoja
English
@shashamura001 Benin owns olรณkun and it's not even a debate at this time.
English
@Edocentric_ That doesnโt make Benin the owner of olokun . You na borrow am . Cun carry am for head
English
@Edocentric_ Nice one, The origin of Olokun is from Great Benin Kingdom .
English
@John49727559419 Igbaghon ? It might as imene is the edo equivalent to Mami water.
English
@asemota To be fair, eweka should be somewhere in here. the cux eweka in Benin is very much.
English
Asemota is not popular in Edo oh! Twitter is not real life. If I pass Ring Road for Benin, nobody go send me. It is a small family. Look at Edo-Osagie, Omo-Osagie, Belo-Osagie, Guobadia, Aihie, all the Olokes. Na dem get Edo.
