follow his example and also accept Christianity. The reason for his decision to embrace this religion was dictated by the prevailing internal politics in Benin at the time. The politics was dominated by the long-standing struggle for supremacy between himself and his half-brother
Prince Idubor, alias Arhuanran, the Enogie of Udo town.
The Portuguese were already in Benin at this time, as traders and missionaries. The traders rented houses from Benin City landlords, both for themselves and for the merchandise they purchased from the Edo people.

At the end of the 15th century, the kingdom of Benin was plunged into a state of unrest when Oba Ozolua died. He left two powerful sons who were said to have been born on the same day which meant that there
was a dispute over who would succeed him.
One son, Esigie controlled Benin City, while the other son, Arhuaran, was based in the equally important city of Udo. Neither prince was prepared to yield to the other and soon after, a war ensued.

The war severely compromised the kingdom of Benin’s status as a regional power.
Exploiting this weakness, the neighboring Igala people sent warriors across the Benue River to seize control of Benin’s northern territories...

I’m having that sinking feeling I get when I watch governorship debates. People want a new Nigeria but the alternatives are no good. Why aren’t intelligent people going into politics? Come on people!

A governorship candidate wants to use government funds to start “Edo Bakery” to produce “#Edo Bread” as his job creation strategy. Another says he will employ people into state vigilante. 😂

A Benin Bronze With Fishy Provenance Goes to Auction hyperallergic.com/573457/fishy-p…
The plaque was part of a large cache of Benin decorative plaques looted during the British punitive military expedition of 1897. This plaque, cast in brass, depicts a mudfish, not dissimilar to a plaque currently in the collection of @WeltmuseumWien which was 'acquired' in 1899
Doubts have been cast by scholars @artcrimeprof and @profdanhicks as to its provenance as described on the auction house website at christies.com/lotfinder/lot/… Frederick Knize was an Austrian collector whose descendant sold the plaque to the New York art dealer John J Klejman

Pues me voy a animar como dije el otro día a hacer un proyecto 365, pero en vez de haciendo fotos, editando fotos mías antiguas, random, basadas en el mood de cada día.
La única limitación que me voy a poner, va a ser el formato 1:1... A ver lo que sale xD

I´ll say it also in English :)
I´m gonna try a photography 365 project, but instead of taking photos, processing old random photos of mine...
Only one rule: the square format.
Let´s see what I got, which will be directly affected by the mood of the day...
