Benin City Edo State Nigeria - Ancient City In Need Of Change
Benin city is the capital of Edo state, one of the 36 states of Nigeria. The city is one of the ancient cities of the world known for its craftmanship. In fact, when the British invaded the old Benin kingdom in 1897, a key reason was the artifacts of Ivory, bronze and iron.
The British military force must have stunned the gods of the old Benin kingdom with ammunition that surpassed what the gods could handle. So, the beloved kingdom fell flat. The good news is . . . Benin City is no longer that ancient city.
Today the old "Benin Kingdom" is a modern city with all the hustle and bustle of city life. As the pictures on this page show, Benin has indeed moved forward. [click HERE to see more pictures of modern Benin]. The mud houses that characterized the old Benin Kingdom is all gone. They have been replaced with beautiful architecture, good network of roads, a bustling commercial centre, and all the bells and whistles of city life. However, the city is not growing as fast as it should. I spent 19yrs of my life in Benin City, so I know. I know the potentials of these people. I know their commitment to education and creativity. And I know they have not used their potentials to the full. There is a huge brain drain in Benin and, indeed, in about the whole of edo state. Many edo speaking people believe they have to go overseas, especially Europe, to make it in life. And so, they are passionate about traveling overseas . . . whatever it takes.
I had my primary, secondary, and tertiary education in Benin. I spent 19yrs of my life living among the Binis. And I can tell you this for sure: The Benin people are a resilient people. My advice? Use this ingenuity and creativity for purposeful work. Re-brand Benin kingdom. Re-build Benin City. Promote Godliness and love of neighbour. Parents . . . stop throwing your kids to the dogs. And stop promoting prostitution and illegal practices just to make money through your kids. Life is much more than that. As Jesus said: "A man's life does not result from the things he possesses". Learn what this means and Benin could become a haven of peace, security, justice, fair play, and mass investment by foreign investors. Apartment For Rent :: How To Create A Web Site SBI!
