Olokun (Yoruba: Olókun, known as Olocún in Latin America) is an orisha. Olokun is believed to be the parent of Aje, the orisha of great wealth and of the bottom of the ocean. Olokun is revered as the ruler of all bodies of water and for the authority over other water deities. Olokun is highly praised for her or his ability to give great wealth, health and prosperity to her or his followers. Communities in both West Africa and the African diaspora view Olokun variously as female, male, and this year 2019 Festival have been planned and scheduled to be the most powerful festival in Osun State. call Princess for more info: 0 8 .0 3.3 0.0 .9.6 .3.6

You are not serious.
The one person I see there dressed like a Benin is probably Benin himself...
Besides Olokun is not from Benin into Yoruba, but from Yoruba into Benin, just like many other things.

You also want to claim pounded yam and eguisi too are for the Yoruba's wonders shall never end the lady in the picture wore a beeded hair dress with coral beeds this alone will tell you olokun worship is foreign to the yorubas....
How did eguisi and pounded yam seem yoruba lets start from there who colonized who ? Four yoruba state where under Benin territory and you open your mouth to lie openly even when the pictures speaks the truth the question you should ask yourself now is why are the people on that pictures dressing like the benin royals instead of yorubas ...ooh god you're forefathers should be blamed for this. they where busy fighting civil war and selling themselves as slaves to the whitemen for penny instead of documenting thier history now the children are busy claiming others peoples history

These are pictures of benin queens below

You still cant prove yorubas own oloukun but youre inquisitive to know the oba history

Olokun is a Yoruba deity.
Olokun is associated with IFA, "ifa olokun asoro dayo".
97% of the deities worship in Binin kingdom are associated with Yoruba deity and they all have their history in IFA.
Olokun is a Yoruba language and not a Binin language "Lord of the water". I believe that is not a Binin language?

Why would i believe a word from the tribe that never dicumented thier history, a tribe that have so many account of the story of thier originator just tell me why i should take that tribe serious.
With no document you just want me to believe the deities are from the Yoruba's tribe haha....
The picture above shows the dressing of the edo royals not the yorubas royals ..even for a second if i have to believe olokuns is from the Yoruba's how did it get to benin....because you're a majour tribe then the minor tribe must get to borrow from you even with no evidence

What evidence or documentation are you asking for? When all the signs are there
The oral information are there.
"IFA olokun asoro dayo" how does that sound to you?
Olu okun and olu odo

My friend you made a mistake by saying we borrowed our traditional worship from the yorubas .nigeria have christanity but the way they worship it an even testify of the borrowed religion .an alien from space will think nigerians are the true originators of the religion. so Bleep you crap stories of oduduwa ,olokun we have seen better stories from the greeks and germans ...the fact remains benin spread this religion to the yoruba nation through war and subjugation the picture has said it all .
what's are benin personel doing in ppace where you claim a yoruba deity is been worshiped if they are not the originator of it. olokun has been worshiped in urohonigbe as an ancestoral worship ,urhonigbe is just a village in benin...

So if i tell you the meaning would it change the origination

Anyway olokun...olo kun ...means god of the waters

Now why are the people in that picture dressed like edos if they never came to teach the yorubas how to worship olokun

You still havnt told me how olokun came to Benin from any yoruba state hmm ?...defenders of the yoruba

If you want to have fun, come and watch clowns of Edo usurpers whose Oba told them the meaning of Benin and Eweka in Yoruba. You do not believe your own Obama?

Now Olokun is Edo?

At least most Nigerians had elementary education on Bini history before the new revised history.

I wonder why Edo have not joined others to claim they coined the Yoruba word and it's language.

All the times,I have seen you and many of your likes peddling lies online because of inferiority complex. I can't just imagine the reason you and chunks of Edos who are interested in ‘culture section' want to match Yoruba glory by deceptive means.

Interestingly, the etymon of ‘Olo' is derived from Olu(Lord- god-master) of ‘Okun' and ‘Okun' is( large body of water-sea). Does ‘Olu- Olo' have this same meaning in Edo lexicon? Perhaps,you know wjat we dont know. I known it as a fact that Osanobua is what is known in Edo as lord-God, which is also borrowed from Yoruba's Oosá- Orísá. So ,kindly note, it is not of Edo origin but Yoruba's.

Furthermore, the world headquarter of Olu-okun-Olokun is in Yoruba land,which nullify your POOR opinion. Infact, Yoruba man created Bini, with his own opinion when he saw anger in Igodomigodp in which you ignorantly boast over in today's world . Isn't it even a shame for you to boast over such name given to you by a conqueror? Even ‘Oba' also has Yoruba etymon and the most revered king in Edo is also a descendant of a Yoruba man.
