Shallipopi’s song titled Oba Pluto brought me to this page. What a great story teller this composer is. Long live the legacy of Oba Ovonranmen Nogbaisi whom stood firm in the face of adversary. Oba gha To Okpere, Iseee.
The story wasn't told as it ought to be. The map of Africa is fake Africa is bigger as the world. But I'm the D EVIL YOUR MHESIA TO TAKE US BACK TO OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE. WE WERE STOLEN AWAY FROM HOME AND BROUGHT HERE TO MAKE SURE WE NEVER FIND THAT TRUTH AND THE WHITE PEOPLE DID THIS 😢
I am Yoruba but I can’t get tired listening to this song as an enthusiast of Benin history particularly on the events that preceded the Punitive Expedition of 1897 and its aftermath. This song is a theatrical presentation of that unfortunate incident that occurred in the history of the Benin Kingdom. It is the only song that brings tears out of my eyes. God bless Pa Monday Edo for his legendary performance.
From calabar i listened to this song due to the ethnic relationship between the benin and the calabar kingdom, this song was taught to us like its part of us in calabar long live the oba
I am just in tears listening to this touching music. It’s made me so proud to be a 100% Benin man. If truly I was present during that Benin invasion, killing only six of those vampires wouldn’t have been enough at all. This music from today becomes my best music. Oba gha to Okpere
Edo to the world... Even when I understand NOTHING ABOUT THE LANGUAGE BEING AND IGBO MAN, I can't explain the love I have for Edo songs since 2005 till eternity...
I'm from umunede kingdom ika North East delta state south south Nigeria base in ancient kingdom city of great benin my love for benins is unconditional ❤ ♥
Such a shame that I can't speak or understand my language. When I was young I could fight people who call me an Edo boy because i claim that i am a yoruba boy since I was born and breed in Lagos. However, going up and now listening to this song without understanding what they are saying but I could feel a connection with my ancestor. I could feel the pain of what he is singing which I have never felt b4. I will read more on who ogbaisi is and also reflect more on myself and accept my culture, learn my language and accept who I am as a benin boy.
My brother (kin shè ni kan lo wa lori tabili yi o). we are plenty My both parent and benin, but I'm lost when it comes to speaking benin language. I can write and read yoruba lik5ge is my language. May God help us ooo.
MAY GOD BLESS WHO EVER PUT THIS MUSIC ON RU-vid, MY NAME IS COLLINS EBOHON, FROM THE UNITED STATES. I LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH. HE THROWS MORE LIGHT INTO WHAT TRANSPIRES BETWEEN THE BINIs AND THE BRITISH IN THE 18th century.
You’re from Nigeria,you can’t even acknowledge your original root because you’ve been wandered into another country,big shame. You should have kept quiet.
I am a Nigerian American from the OGBA tribe in the River state area ogba people we have benin and Igbo roots so Oba Overama is basically a ancestor to me. I really respect him because he was a warrior and a revolutionary, who did not let his kingdom fall under European colonialism, and he gave his life it rest in peace to him.
Wow 😢❤ Not. Benin but I was born and raised there all my life. So listening to this now makes me feel a little bit emotional, love ❤ Edo to the f**c**g world “Obapluto” brought me her 😅
I understand that the copyright infringement by ShalliPopi was with no doubt wrong, but this ancient jewel of a song wouldn't have resurfaced in this brink of time. Thanks to everyone that contributed to the painting of this piece of art.
Shalipopi's song brought most of us to this page just to get a taste of the original song, and I won't lie, it wasn't a waste of my time nor my data. I love this song ❤️
My grandfather used to tell me and my siblings this story but I never pay attention. But now am looking from RU-vid to RU-vid to listen to the history 😭😭😭😭😭😭justice for our great King 😭😭😭I miss grand PA ,my mom also cry when even grandpa is telling the story ...I promise to also tell my children
@@ahmadsuleiman3989Long story short, he was the king when the British invaded, massacred, pillaged, and looted the Benin kingdom and the king's palace. He was exiled to Calabar where he died. Majority, of the Benin art you see in museums around the world today, like the Queen Idia mask (also known as the FESTAC mask), where stolen during the invasion. The story is long but you can get a better picture by searching Oba Ovonramwen on google.
I read the stories of the conquest. And we were told in part how our people were vanquished. It's greed of the Brits and a few of ours that caused us to lose the wars. Dore Numa is singled out as a major architect of our loss.
You are in the spirit. More grace .Read my comment. For those who have ear to hear it ..its spiritual Made in Heaven. It like some Godsple Music.That people will always dance. And listen.This Music is ever lasting Music AnyHow the son Sing it ,Thanks goes to him .
@@victorbraze4905He is basically recanting the tragic story of how the British invaded, pillaged, destroyed, and burnt down much of current day Benin city, including the palace of Oba Ovonramwen. The Oba was exiled to Calabar where he died. During the invasion, they also looted thousands of Benin artworks, including the Queen Idia mask (also known as the FESTAC mask), which are currently showcased in museums around the world.
See the Yahoo boys will make them pay for all the things they took from our great Benin kingdom back to our land believe me or not they will surely pay and pay for it.
Anytime I listen to this song, I remember my late grand mom oh what a life! may your soul rest in peace and I pray for the good " LORD JESUS" to accept your soul amen. my lovely grand mom Vicky obaseki until we meet again, u will always be in our heart. I love u.

Wow! This song is so deep, regardless of me not understanding the language, it still passed a message a cross. Thanks to shalipopi for bringing this song to limelight. Such a great piece!
This music is very touching and unlike other modern musics which does not talk about colonialism between the Benin Empire and the united kindom ,cultures , tradictions which can always take our mind back memory lane in the 70s and 80s,thanks alots monday edo for this great song you sang during your time with Ebohon culture band..
The Fearless Oba! Only him would have dealt with them but decided to be patient to prove his innocent of the allegation. Rest in peace, Oba Ovonranmwen Nogbasi! You are forever remembered!!
Shalli succeeded in making me in search of this song here on RU-vid,what a touching melody 🎶 as an urhobo boy I only understand few words,benin to the world 🌍 my prayer is that the issue surrounding shallipopi and the rightful owner of this great song should be settle without any problem among the both parties ❤❤❤
I remember when I was little I use to sing this powerful song to my late mother, listening to this song brings the remembering of my mother, I will forever miss her my lovely mother.
Long live the great kingdom of Benin. May great pain and suffering be upon the Europeans that invaded our sacred kingdom to steal and destroy. May the memories and energy of our vengeful ancestors taunt you until the end of time and beyond.
