The modern borders of Edo State [11] encompasses regions that were formerly the site of various empires and kingdoms of the second dynasty formed in the 11th century AD, the Benin Empire. [12] The ancient city of Edo, the site of modern-day Benin City, [11] was home to some of the largest earthworks in the world. [13] In 1897, the British Empire conducted a punitive expedition of the region, destroying most of the ancient city of Edo and incorporating the territory into what would become the Southern Nigeria Protectorate. [14] [15]

Edo State is a diverse state that is predominantly inhabited by the Edoid people, including the Edo (or Bini), [16] Esan, Ora, Akoko-Edo, Owan and Afemai people among others. [17] The most common Edoid language spoken is the Edo language, which is commonly spoken in Benin City. [18] Christianity is the dominant religion in Edo State. [11] It was first introduced to the region by Portuguese missionaries during the 15th century. Islam and traditional religions are also practised. [19]

History

The Mid-Western Region was a division of Nigeria from 1963 to 1991, formally known as Bendel state from 1976. [20] It was formed in June 1963 from Benin and Delta provinces of the Western Region, and its capital was Benin City. [21] It was renamed a province in 1966, and in 1967 when the other provinces were split up into several states, it remained territorially intact, becoming a state. [22]

During the Nigerian Civil War, the Biafran forces invaded the new Mid-Western state, en route to Lagos, in an attempt to force a quick end to the war. While under Biafran occupation, the state was declared as the "Republic of Benin" as Nigerian forces were to retake the region. [23] The republic collapsed a day after the declaration as Nigerian troops overtook Benin City. Edo State was established on 27 August 1991 when Bendel State was split into Edo and Delta States. [24] [25] The Edo people political organization is expressed in a three-tier age group system that cuts across kin groups and make age, rather than line-age affiliation, with criterion of authority. [20] Benin city itself is organized on the basis of age-grades similar to those of the villages as well as on the basis of wards and chiefs, both hereditary and non-hereditary, serving the Oba in specialised functions. The Oba is the focal point of the Benin political system and institution is based squarely on that of divine kingship. [26]
