Origin and meaning of Edo words

Ewuare the first Bini warrior king, was himself forced into exile as a young prince and nearly would not have ascended the Benin throne.  With death penalty hanging on his head as a result of some misdemeanor, he fled into the woods although regularly, secretly visiting the city of Benin at night. The elders (Edionisen) heard about his secret visits and set a trap to capture and kill him.  Just as he was about to be caught, he escaped to the home of Ogieva Nomuekpo, who hid him in a well covered on top with leaves.  Ogieva then went to invite the elders to come and arrest Prince Ogun as he was called then.

Prayers In The Culture

By Michael A.  Odaro Prayers in the culture is the living entreaty of the human person with divine reality of love, embracing both trial and joy. Prayer is a consciousness of divine reality, a raising of heart and mind to the object of faith and awakens a new understanding of life experience. It s a growth in awareness, a surrender, a commitment, a risk and implies dependence on divine reality. Prayer has been classed with protective magic or with social mechanisms of explanation and control. As such it is the central phenomenon of religion and core of worship, which includes many types of religious practice, ritual, instruction, reading, singing, offering of gifts and so on. Prayer is a continuous mode of living and the spiritual disposition of the believer and fundamental spiritual communication, verbal, ritual and materialized moments of formal exchange. Social Anthropologists have been more interested in the secondary Sycho-social functions of prayer. Necessity teaches us...
