I have a question, perhaps someone can respond. I read the history of the Kingdom Of Benin, not to be confused with modern "Benin", If the Beni were the original inhabitants of the area, when did the Ogosi (refered to as "Kings from the Sky" )come to rule over them and how exactly did that happen? I have a special interest in this topic as it is said that my fmailies line goes back to the kingdom of Benin.

[edit] standards

how in the hell did this article fall so far. i reverted it back to the last version that was READABLE. Yeah I know that's insulting. Frankly, I don't care. The Benin Empire deserves a better page than what it got. I'mah keep my eye on this page. To all those offended, please see wiki's NPOV guidelines. This page was written horribly and any wiki editor worth his or her salt would agree. And the page is about the STATE not just the origin or multiple origin theories. I wouldn't be so p!ssed except that a lot of important stuff was removed. Aaarrhhhh!Scott Free 04:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
