This is the salutation of the descendants of the Oliha family. Following the collapse of the Ogiso dynasty, the elders of Igodomigodo appointed Evian as an administrator of the land. He was succeeded by his son Ogiamiẹn. When the people became tired of the maladministration of Ogiamẹn, the elders consulted the oracle, who instructed them to ask Oliha to lead the Edion in search of Ekaladerhan, who was banished from Igodomigodo (later known as Benin Kingdom) by his father Ogiso Owodo. This was how they reached Odudua, who gave them a lice test before agreeing to send his son Oronmiyan to Igodomigodo. The Oliha was given the appellation Ogele-mu iru for his ability to nurse the seven lice on the head of his slave.

Digital Benin collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards African and African diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Digital Benin’s views. Digital Benin maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
