Imperial exploit of Great Benin - We are not part of IPOB

We all are aware of the imperial exploit of Great Benin Kingdom under the sole might and leadership of the Oba of Benin, who before the unfortunate pre-planned episode of the British expedition in the year 1897 was an independent country of its own. Before our sovereignty was lost, that status of a country lasted for about 1,900 years starting from the first recorded King of Benin, Ogiso Igodo in the year 40BCE to the last independent king of Benin, Oba Ovonranmen. In spite of that unfortunate episode the Benins have continually maintained the status of being great people even in the midst of tribes who ordinarily were no match for us before our independence was forcefully taken away by the British and bestowed on those who once dreaded our might.
