Benin City
Benin City is a city (2006 est. pop. 1,147,188) and the capital of Edo State in southern Nigeria. It is a city approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the Benin River. It is situated 320 kilometres (200 mi) by road east of Lagos. Benin is the centre of Nigeria's rubber industry, but processing palm nuts for oil is also an important traditional industry.
History
The original people and founders of the Benin Empire, the Edo people, were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who called their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings were commonly known as Ogiso. Igodo, the first Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace intrigue and battle for power erupted between the warrior crown prince Ekaladerhan son of the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left the royal court with his warriors. When his old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty was ended as the people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as natural next in line to rule.

Benin Empire
The Benin Empire was a pre-colonial empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. Its capital was Edo, now known as Benin City, Edo. It should not be confused with the modern-day country called Benin, formerly called Dahomey. The Benin Empire was "one of the oldest and most highly developed states in the coastal hinterland of West Africa, dating perhaps to the eleventh century CE", until it was annexed by the British Empire in 1897.

🇧🇯 Benin post-election violence: Military patrol Cotonou streets | Al Jazeera English
Security forces maintained a tight clamp on protests in the city of Cotonou, after two days of post-election violence. Soldiers broke up demonstrations with gunfire after the opposition called for the annulment of last Sunday's parliamentary election. Life returned back to near-normal in much of Cotonou a day after soldiers broke up demonstrations with gunfire around the home of former-President Thomas Boni Yayi, which had become a focal point of anger over Sunday's parliamentary polls, which took place without opposition parties. The opposition says they will not give up the push for a new direction in Benin.

Benin covers an area of 114,763 square kilometers and its population in 2018 was estimated to be approximately 11.49 million. Benin is a tropical nation, highly dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of cotton and palm oil. Substantial employment and income arise from subsistence farming. The official language of Benin is French, with several indigenous languages such as Fon, Bariba, Yoruba and Dendi also being commonly spoken. The largest religious group in Benin is Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Islam, Vodun (commonly referred to as Voodoo outside the country) and Protestantism. Benin is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie, the Community of Sahel–Saharan States, the African Petroleum Producers Association and the Niger Basin Authority. Little is known of Benin's early history. From the 17th to the 19th century, the main political entities in the area were the Kingdom of Dahomey, along with the city-state of Porto-Novo, and a large area with many different nations to the north. This region was referred to as the Slave Coast from as early as the 17th century due to the large number of enslaved people who were shipped to the New World during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. After enslavement was abolished, France took over the country and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey gained full independence from France. The sovereign state has had a tumultuous history since then, with many different democratic governments, military coups, and military governments. A Marxist–Leninist state called the People's Republic of Benin existed between 1975 and 1990. In 1991, it was replaced by the current multi-party Republic of Benin.

Who are the people of Benin? Despite attempts at greater national unity and integration since 1960, differences among Benin’s ethnic groups survive to a marked degree. The Fon, who make up about two-fifths of the population, live in various parts of the country and especially in Cotonou. The Yoruba, who are related to the Nigerian Yoruba, live mainly in southeastern Benin and constitute about one-eighth of Benin’s population. In the vicinity of Porto-Novo, the Goun or Gun and the Yoruba known in Pobé and Kétou as Nago, or Nagot are so intermixed as to be hardly distinguishable. Among other southern groups are various Adja peoples, including the Aizo, the Holi, and the Mina. The Bariba, the fourth largest ethnic group, comprise several subgroups and make up about one-tenth of Benin’s population. #Benin #DiscoverBenin

The opposition says they will not give up the push for a new direction in Benin.

In no particular order, here is our selection of the top 10 most beautiful and major cities and towns in the Republic of Benin. Number 1: Porto Novo. Porto Novo also known as Hogbonu and Ajashe; is the capital of Benin. The commune covers an area of 110 square kilometers and as of 2020 had a population of over 260 thousand inhabitants. As the name suggests, Porto-Novo was originally developed as a port for the slave trade led by the Portuguese Empire. Porto-Novo is a port on an inlet of the Gulf of Guinea, in the southeastern portion of the country. It is Benin's second-largest city, and although Porto-Novo is the official capital, where the national legislature sits, the larger city of Cotonou is the seat of government, where most of the government buildings are situated and government departments operate. Places of attraction in Porto Novo include gardens and the Royal Palace just as the historical center of Porto Novo rulers. Number 2: Cotonou. Cotonou is not the capital city of Benin yet you can feel like it is because of the vibe Cotonou has. The city is an extraordinary impact of urban vitality joined with an African appeal. Cotonou is the economic center of Benin. As of 2021, the population of the city stands at over 699 thousand inhabitants. The urban area continues to expand, notably towards the west. The city lies in the southeast of the country, between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Nokoué. In addition to being Benin's largest city, it is the seat of government, although Porto-Novo is the official capital. It is home to most of the country's government buildings and diplomatic services. Number 3: Ouidah. Ouidah or Whydah, formerly the chief port of the Kingdom of Whydah, is a city on the coast of the Republic of Benin. The commune covers an area of 364 km2 and as of 2021 has a population of over 89 thousand people. This city is influenced by Portuguese and French blend because of the several events that happened there in history. Ouidah is not only known for its History, it is also famous for its beautiful beaches. Number 4: Grand-Popo. The famous town has a fascinating history chiefly because of the significant job it played in the slave exchange. The town overflows with African appeal and the general population is amicable. The town is about an hour’s drive from Cotonou and offers an ideal difference in pace from the bustling city. There are numerous rear resorts and hotels in the town and the shorelines are an extraordinary spot to swim and relax. The close-by Mono River is an extraordinary spot to walk and offers an opportunity to see mangroves and fascinating feathered bird life.

Le Bénin, officiellement appelé la République du Bénin, est un pays situé en Afrique de l'Ouest. Il était autrefois connu sous le nom de Dahomey. Le Bénin est bordé par le Togo à l'ouest, le Nigeria à l'est, le Burkina Faso au nord-ouest et le Niger au nord-est. La capitale du Bénin est Porto Novo mais le siège du gouvernement est à Cotonou, la plus grande ville et capitale économique du pays. Le pays couvre une superficie de miles carrés 44, 310 et comptait une population d'environ 11.49 millions à partir de 2018. Le français est la langue officielle du Bénin.
Le Bénin est une société fortement rurale. L'agriculture fait vivre plus de 70% de sa population. L'agriculture contribue à environ 35% du PIB du pays et 80% des revenus d'exportation. Le Bénin produit des produits de palme, des fèves de cacao et textiles destinés à l'exportation. Le riz, le maïs, les haricots, le manioc, l'igname, les ananas, les noix de cajou, les arachides et autres tubercules sont cultivés pour la consommation locale. Le coton représente 40 % du PIB du Bénin et environ 80 % des exportations officielles.
Le coton est la principale culture de rente. Il est principalement exporté sous forme de balles avec seulement 3% de la production totale transformée localement, principalement en fonction des prix mondiaux. La production de coton graine est concentrée au nord et au centre du Bénin dans une zone appelée ceinture cotonnière. Il est également cultivé par de petits agriculteurs qui le vendent ensuite à des entreprises d'égrenage qui le transforment en coton fibre et/ou produisent des produits tels que l'huile, les graines de coton et les tourteaux.
Les relations bilatérales entre le Bénin et la Chine se sont améliorées. La Chine a soutenu le Bénin dans l'amélioration de la production de coton. Ce secteur fournit une source de revenus à la moitié de la population du pays.
Bien que Cotonou soit la plus grande ville du Bénin et ait le siège du gouvernement - où sont situés les bâtiments gouvernementaux et où fonctionnent les services gouvernementaux, Porto Novo est la capitale du Bénin. "Porto Novo" est d'origine portugaise et signifie "Nouveau Port". Il reste non traduit et est en français qui est la langue officielle du Bénin. La zone couvre 110 kilomètres carrés et compte une population de plus de 200 000 personnes.
Porto Novo est une ville située sur une entrée du golfe de Guinée dans la partie sud-est du pays. C'est la deuxième plus grande ville du Bénin et a été initialement développée comme un port pour le commerce transatlantique effectué par l'empire portugais. Le parlement du Bénin est à Porto Novo. La région autour de Porto Novo produit du kapok, de l'huile de palme et du coton. Porto Novo possède une usine de ciment, un marché appelé Ouando et une succursale de la Banque Internationale du Bénin, une grande banque au Bénin.
La ville est desservie par une extension du réseau ferroviaire de Benirail. Des Zemijan, des motos privées, sont également disponibles pour vous emmener dans la ville. Si vous prenez l'avion pour le Bénin, vous atterrirez très probablement à l'aéroport de Cotonou, à 40 km. Les habitants de Porto Novo sont principalement des Yoruba et des Gun, des gens d'autres régions du Bénin et du Nigeria voisin. Porto Novo a un climat de savane tropicale et connaîtra donc constamment des conditions chaudes et humides. La ville est proche de l'équateur mais est plus sèche que prévu puisqu'elle est située en bordure du Dahomey Gap. Visitez Porto Novo pour profiter de la musique Adjogan, un style de musique joué sur un Alounloun - Un bâton avec des anneaux métalliques attachés qui tintent au rythme du battement du bâton.
Ouidah, souvent orthographié Whydah, est une plaque tournante commerciale dans le Bénin moderne et était l'un des ports les plus actifs pour la traite transatlantique des esclaves. Les Européens ont qualifié l'emplacement de Ouidah dans le golfe du Bénin et ses environs de «côte des esclaves» en raison de l'importance de la région dans l'exportation de travailleurs d'Afrique vers les marchés américains. Avant de cesser son commerce dans les années 1860, les historiens estiment qu'à elle seule Ouidah a exporté plus d'un million d'Africains au cours de deux siècles. Il n'y avait qu'un seul autre port en Afrique qui transportait plus d'esclaves, et c'était Luanda en Afrique centrale.

Benin, officially the Republic of Benin formerly known as Dahomey, is a country in West Africa. It is bordered by Togo to the west, Nigeria to the east, Burkina Faso to the north-west, and Niger to the north-east. The majority of its population lives on the small southern coastline of the Bight of Benin, part of the Gulf of Guinea in the northernmost tropical portion of the Atlantic Ocean. The capital of Benin is Porto-Novo, but the seat of government is in Cotonou, the country's largest city and economic capital. Benin covers an area of 114,763 square kilometers and its population in 2018 was estimated to be approximately 11.49 million. Benin is a tropical nation, highly dependent on agriculture, and is a large exporter of cotton and palm oil. Substantial employment and income arise from subsistence farming. The official language of Benin is French, with several indigenous languages such as Fon, Bariba, Yoruba and Dendi also being commonly spoken. The largest religious group in Benin is Roman Catholicism, followed closely by Islam, Vodun (commonly referred to as Voodoo outside the country) and Protestantism. Benin is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie, the Community of Sahel–Saharan States, the African Petroleum Producers Association and the Niger Basin Authority. Little is known of Benin's early history. From the 17th to the 19th century, the main political entities in the area were the Kingdom of Dahomey, along with the city-state of Porto-Novo, and a large area with many different nations to the north. This region was referred to as the Slave Coast from as early as the 17th century due to the large number of enslaved people who were shipped to the New World during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. After enslavement was abolished, France took over the country and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey gained full independence from France. The sovereign state has had a tumultuous history since then, with many different democratic governments, military coups, and military governments. A Marxist–Leninist state called the People's Republic of Benin existed between 1975 and 1990. In 1991, it was replaced by the current multi-party Republic of Benin.

Consider subscribing and turning on the post notification bell so you never miss out on any of our videos. Now let’s discover the people, cultures, geography, economy, and lots more of Benin. Who are the people of Benin? Despite attempts at greater national unity and integration since 1960, differences among Benin’s ethnic groups survive to a marked degree. The Fon, who make up about two-fifths of the population, live in various parts of the country and especially in Cotonou. The Yoruba, who are related to the Nigerian Yoruba, live mainly in southeastern Benin and constitute about one-eighth of Benin’s population. In the vicinity of Porto-Novo, the Goun or Gun and the Yoruba known in Pobé and Kétou as Nago, or Nagot are so intermixed as to be hardly distinguishable. Among other southern groups are various Adja peoples, including the Aizo, the Holi, and the Mina. The Bariba, the fourth largest ethnic group, comprise several subgroups and make up about one-tenth of Benin’s population. #Benin #DiscoverBenin

Security forces maintained a tight clamp on protests in the city of Cotonou, after two days of post-election violence.
Soldiers broke up demonstrations with gunfire after the opposition called for the annulment of last Sunday's parliamentary election.
Life returned back to near-normal in much of Cotonou a day after soldiers broke up demonstrations with gunfire around the home of former-President Thomas Boni Yayi, which had become a focal point of anger over Sunday's parliamentary polls, which took place without opposition parties.
The opposition says they will not give up the push for a new direction in Benin.
Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports from Cotonou.

In no particular order, here is our selection of the top 10 most beautiful and major cities and towns in the Republic of Benin. Number 1: Porto Novo. Porto Novo also known as Hogbonu and Ajashe; is the capital of Benin. The commune covers an area of 110 square kilometers and as of 2020 had a population of over 260 thousand inhabitants. As the name suggests, Porto-Novo was originally developed as a port for the slave trade led by the Portuguese Empire. Porto-Novo is a port on an inlet of the Gulf of Guinea, in the southeastern portion of the country. It is Benin's second-largest city, and although Porto-Novo is the official capital, where the national legislature sits, the larger city of Cotonou is the seat of government, where most of the government buildings are situated and government departments operate. Places of attraction in Porto Novo include gardens and the Royal Palace just as the historical center of Porto Novo rulers. Number 2: Cotonou. Cotonou is not the capital city of Benin yet you can feel like it is because of the vibe Cotonou has. The city is an extraordinary impact of urban vitality joined with an African appeal. Cotonou is the economic center of Benin. As of 2021, the population of the city stands at over 699 thousand inhabitants. The urban area continues to expand, notably towards the west. The city lies in the southeast of the country, between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Nokoué. In addition to being Benin's largest city, it is the seat of government, although Porto-Novo is the official capital. It is home to most of the country's government buildings and diplomatic services. Number 3: Ouidah. Ouidah or Whydah, formerly the chief port of the Kingdom of Whydah, is a city on the coast of the Republic of Benin. The commune covers an area of 364 km2 and as of 2021 has a population of over 89 thousand people. This city is influenced by Portuguese and French blend because of the several events that happened there in history. Ouidah is not only known for its History, it is also famous for its beautiful beaches. Number 4: Grand-Popo. The famous town has a fascinating history chiefly because of the significant job it played in the slave exchange. The town overflows with African appeal and the general population is amicable. The town is about an hour’s drive from Cotonou and offers an ideal difference in pace from the bustling city. There are numerous rear resorts and hotels in the town and the shorelines are an extraordinary spot to swim and relax. The close-by Mono River is an extraordinary spot to walk and offers an opportunity to see mangroves and fascinating feathered bird life.

Benin City
Benin City is a city (2006 est. pop. 1,147,188) and the capital of Edo State in southern Nigeria. It is a city approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the Benin River. It is situated 320 kilometres (200 mi) by road east of Lagos. Benin is the centre of Nigeria's rubber industry, but processing palm nuts for oil is also an important traditional industry.
History
The original people and founders of the Benin Empire, the Edo people, were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who called their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings were commonly known as Ogiso. Igodo, the first Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace intrigue and battle for power erupted between the warrior crown prince Ekaladerhan son of the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left the royal court with his warriors. When his old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty was ended as the people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as natural next in line to rule.
