Unity and future of Edo Nation in Spain

The Historical Myths and Tide of Edo Nation.

do nation (like the muster seed) was conceived in the east and hashed in the west to the origin of Ogiso dynasty into a land named Igodomigodo in the AD’s. Until her spread through territorial wars upon wars towards the West end from Agbemikaka, Sobe, Eko, Badagry down to Benin Republic. Then in the east was through Agbor, Isele Uku (which the symbol on our Festac depict today). To Asaba, Onitsha Etc. Then in the North was through Ehor, Auchi, Kukuruku hill in Akoko Edo to Idah at Kogi State. Finally, through Ologbo, Iben, Abraka, Isoko etc. However, her power was reduced because of selfish factor which was concede to be language that was hidden from her cancerous. Therefore, an empire was created to the extend ‘too late’ was the remains which a severing nation Nigeria managed to carved out as a portion to be called Midwest and then Bendel State that today revised to her origin as Edo state. Then it became so obscure and to know the secret of a lost empire which the splendor existed as a people blessed with culture, tradition, and ambition but lost highly a large extend of territories to which trace of culture and tradition relates, if properly checked. Edo early visitors (missionaries like Portuguese and Britons), saw the picture and the administrative structure convenient as well as the organized society and they were so awed by the city that the road they know nothing weather we were in heaven or on earth and sort to imagine the hydraulic throne that letter the rulers (king) 40feets above their subjects. On the foregoing none of the ornate machinery described by the early home and foreign ancient writers historian and politicians of the westwho were scholars of doom to bring down our already condor and pride of the Edo people. If the details of Edo people as a nation was sometimes seem rudimentary is not primitive, as many considered by western intellectuals, to be pompous and that which is requires effort to appreciate the significant of such items like artifacts, antiquities stolen by British invaders (which the crown today was saved by Sir Plymouth). We can use term like this to help understand the life’s of our enigmatic predecessors today. Edo nation (like a palm tree envied by its mates, because of its major uses) with tomorrow by Historians be a reference point and as a crucial bridge connecting the birth of renaissance, which the keeper of the sacred flame of classical learning through the so-called dark-ages turned a ‘twilight’. Therefore, the OmniEdo nation is a Joseph sold by his brothers that came back to save his brothers, tribe, people and today nation called Israel.A Bird in Hand. From sunrise to sunset, from Charles Osas Okungbowa spring to summer, from birth to life, and from day to day, the struggle of man to survive is invariably dominant among all creatures on earth. (such is life for you) because the desire of man to make it, achieve it, get it, and at last feed it, is apparent to an insatiable need to make the best better in fact, history has this to tell, if early ages through evolution which date from Genesis to revelation and nation are mentioned Edo nation is one. It will be worst than slavery my brothers and sister in Diaspora, if denying yourself by selling your birth right and aging to building other nations, while your nation is lying fallow of virgin natural resources. A nation endowed with oil, bitumen, gold, rubber, limestone, and even a seaport, which is craving for exploration need your attention. If we continue to point accusing fingers at our ancestor’s mistakes, I think is time for us to find correction to our problems now or else our yet unborn are also coming in wait to rule us with scorpion for our mistakes- now that the work of our heroes past is seen as been in vain. Edo nation among other empires is changing by crying for help with the rulers been the custodian of culture, tradition, what is left, not to be known to render the little you can to save your home? Remember a stranger always say goodbye when there is fire on the mountain. There are much also about the signals of global economic crisis for us to learn a lesson, because the bulk of work lies on the hands on the Edo sons and daughters in Diaspora and at home. With all the feasibilities studies of campaigns around the word, solidarity fell in Spain. Brothers and sister abroad, man is humane in his action and in the real life of his existence, and not when he is dead. The testament of a man is after his death to his children while wisdom is bound to be a collective experience along with life journey rather than be told of the man existence. It is at the angle of man in search for more want that he goes beyond his home and start wandering anywhere. Whereas the result of all we are doing now has a plain sheet to be recorded at home and nowhere else. Prediction :- If Edo future as said by the Spanish, ‘‘Destinación, Proxima arada’’ in Spain as we traverse all over the world now, this is the right peg in the right hole choosing Spain as a campaign ground to take up the challenges of building the myth of Edo nation. Although, am neither a poet nor a soothsayer of note, but I believe things will change towards the attitude of Edo unity in Spain at the year 2009 envelope opens. In
