GREAT BENIN DESCENDANTS
INTRODUCTION
The genesis of the making of an empire that eventually became one of the greatest empire the world has ever known was carefully orchestrated by the wisdom of our ancient ancestors and achieved by their all-conquering might, in consonance with some of their believes in the actualization of the dream of an empire which started during the reign of Ogiso Odoligie, who is well remembered as the first Warrior king of Benin, it is in that believe that other future kings of Benin understood that we can be the sole might in the entire sub Saharan Africa, during the late 15th century to Mid-18th Century our power peaked, and has it is expected we began to lose our farther territories, one of the reason was because the central government was not as forceful and war conscious anymore. We made bold to say the few part that was not our territory in the present Southern part of Nigeria was an offspring of the greater Benin.
We are astonished with the greatness achieved by our ancestors, our sovereignty was lost in 1897, and then we became dormant in all ramifications, we became failures, we lost taste for victory, we became peace makers when our rights were violated, we watched when our history was been torn apart, we became strangely silent, we watched when the insiders collaborated with the Europeans to blackmail and forcefully annex our lands and give it to others, in other to mock our future generation. We must stand up and fight for our survival collectively just as how our ancestors did it.

GBD as an association is non-violent, completely abhors politics in its entirety, we are not freedom fighter group, we are not secession group, we completely detest anything that can disunite, we are socio culturally inclined. Our primary objectives is to unite all Idu Children/Igodomigodo descendants who were scattered all over the continents for different historical reasons and re-integrate ourselves in understanding that we are all one Benin people who built the empire together before they try to separate us through ascribing different names to us,, we can never ever again be used as any political game, we are much in the know now. Our ancestral home is yearning for us all
