Igodomigodo

Igodomigodo is a historical name for the land now known as the Benin Kingdom or Benin Empire, located in present-day Nigeria. It reflects the cultural and political identity of the Edo people, with "Igodomigodo" signifying the territory's ancient origins and social structure. The name embodies the rich history, artistry, and governance of the Edo civilization, which was highly organized, with a monarchy led by the Oba (king). Today, while "Benin" is the common name, Igodomigodo remains a symbolic reference to the kingdom's historical and cultural heritage.
