@ancientbenin: My Edo people, this is a season for unity, not divisiveness. Our ancestors built this kingdom through collective strength, not internal discord. Let us not allow what binds us together to be overshadowed by what seeks to divide us. In 1668, the Dutch writer Olfert Dapper recorded that the Oba of Benin could mobilize 20,000 men in a single day, and if necessity demanded, could raise an army of 100,000 to 180,000 men. More than a century later, the French naval captain Jean-François Landolphe, who visited Benin between 1769, 1778 and 1787, similarly observed that the Oba could place 50,000 men in the field within a day, and raise between 80,000 and 100,000 men when required. Such strength did not come from division. It came from unity of purpose, loyalty to the kingdom, and a shared commitment to a common cause. Together we stand, divided we fall. This has been the lesson of history, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the path to our future. There is strength in unity!
