Am originally from the great Benin kingdom. The great Benin kingdom is in the southern part of Nigeria and is the first part of Africa the Europeans (Portuguese) first visited in 1472 and its different from Benin republic which has a border with Nigeria.
Actually the first place the Portuguese visited in Africa was Sierra leone then the El Mina in the Gold Coast, in 1471 by Don Diego de Azambuja. They built the oldest European building in Sub Sahara was built in the Gold Coast starting from 1482 to till its completion in 1486.
@Phiko You are both wrong because the first point of the Portuguese was Cape Verde in 1448 while they got to Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 in 1460
@World of Telenovelas What is the problem with foreign names?
@@Phiko482 the portuguese visited Benin empire in 1442.
@@ochiegodfrey6428 "facts!"
Oba Ewuare of Benin was a king of the ancient Benin kingdom in present day Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. The Benin Kingdom were trading partners with the Portuguese in the 1400s during the time of Oba Esigie, he became fluent in Portuguese language because of the trade and relationship the kingdom had with the Portuguese
I am Zulu and I know we are strong worriers but on the intro I saw Mansa Musa and damn I remembered the power that man had in his time
Ghana 🇬🇭 Otumfo Osei Tutu of Ashanti man kingdom 🇬🇭❤️🥰
How can they not include King Cetshayo Ka Mpande...the Zulu King who is responsible for one of Britain's most greatest defeats?
You should know this is just one man's opinion
King Shaka > King cetshwayo
Na Shaka is the one who unified all the Zulu clans, he was a great military strategist, He caused a great upheaval called umfecane a time of crushing, he introduced the Assegai, cow horn formation, he made Zulu nation what it is today. All who came after Shaka where cowards coz they illegitimately inherited a crown gotten through betrayal.
@@valentineisraelshabangu4069 fax W Shaka
@@valentineisraelshabangu4069 King Cetshayo was a coward? You not even Zulu🤦
The King Shaka Zulu in this video is an actor called Henry Cele. Every time we speak of Shaka, we always associate them with Henry Cele. The funny thing is when a statue of Shaka is made, we expect it to look exactly like Henry Cele. Anything else we consider fake..
Thats our King! King Henry Cele😂
Currently the wealthiest tribe in Africa is the Royal Bafokeng Nation located in the North West Province, South Africa. The king is called King Leruo Molotlegi. Their wealth is derived from their land, which has some minerals which are mined from there. They own platinum mines. He is also a qualified pilot.
It's a pity they own shares in a mine. They don't produce anything, it's all sold off to London. I'd not allow any mining on my land
King hintsa of amaxhosa fought many battles with English people but they ended up beheaded. Him still today know body knows where his head is and there's a Xhosa phrase "ukulinda kubuya kwentloko ka hintsa" which translate you will for ever wait until the return of hintsa's head
There is Benin which is a Country and Benin city in Nigeria
Your wife definitely has Ghanaian DNA because anytime you react to anything about Ghana 🇬🇭 she resonates with it perfectly and her face is always beaming with smiles 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Will not be surprised if she has Ghanaian DNA, l suggest you guys do a DNA test with Dr. Paige ancestral DNA company since they have about 33,000 DNA samples.
Ur wife resemblance is not different from most of my family members in Ghana. Anytime I see her l get goosebumps.
I can feel it that the motherland is calling you guys to visit. Stay Blessed family, luvv from the motherland 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭😂💯❤️❤️❤️
Was about to say same
Yes I believe so too I won’t be shocked that she’ll probably have like 30-40- ghana dna . And Ashanti too.
There’s more AFRICAN Kings not included here. Trust Africa and Black people have always been the greatest kinds of people God has ever created. We are and always be blessed. 🤍🫶🏾
By the way guys thats not Shaka Zulu, that was Henry Cele that acted as Shaka Zulu in the movie and series
I was about to say the same thing😂
Thus Shaka Zulu we know thus Shaka Zulu by fire by force 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yhup😂😂😂
We know it's from the movie. You have to understand our love for the Zulu culture. Is the actor from the same region?
@@TheDemouchetsREACT yes Henry Cele the actor was Zulu...however I think he is now deceased...
A lot of people are pissed a particular king wasn't mentioned. Just know this is just a person's opinion. There have been great Kings and Queens of our continent whose greatness we will never know.
If Africa was not colonized, imagine how much greater we would be. Wakanda was not fiction i tell you. Its what we could have been
Proud Zulu 😍🇿🇦
Yes you are correct. That's the king of Benin in Nigeria, not Benin Republic. Benin Republic got its name from the old Benin empire which is today in Nigeria.
Exactly
Sierra might be an Asante. From her face to her height. And now her daddy has Otumfour's eyes.
Yes, please do the DNA I ‘m sure you’re 70% Ashanti 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So true
@@erickitson7582she will be volterian rather
We Ethiopians are proud of our late kings ,His Excellency Minilik and next His Excellency emperor Haile sillasie Our country never colonized. Italy was trying a lot but the king and the people of Ethiopia defeated Italy and drove them out of Ethiopia. Thanks to our leaders. God bless Ethiopia and Ethiopians.
The Oba of Benin is from Nigeria; Edo state.
Kind Sekhukhune, he used to send bees to attack enemies and make boulders roll off mountain top to crush the opponents, I can say he used to control nature.
It's said that some Xhosa Kings had spies all along the Cape coast and would send storms whenever ships were spotted to derail them from ever landing on our shores. So many ships have crashed and never landed ashore, it's said they would have landed long hundreds of years before 1652
Love your content!!!❤
❤❤
There is Benin pronounced as Bini a state in Nigeria
And there is Benin Republic pronounced as Behneh Republik a country in west Africa
Yes it is elephant tusk used as horns in Ashanti or Asante.
Proud Asante Man
I rep the Ashanti Kingdom one of the strongest in the world ❤️
Glad you reacted to this one
Yes, the Oba is Benin your right. Great job. Love you both. London from London
Much love!
Am so proud to be UmuZulu
Ghana ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mansa Musa is who we all aspire to be when we grow up
Mansa Musa discovered America's before Christopher Columbus
Yes, you are right.
This is the present Oba, (king) of the Ancient Benin kingdom or Empire in Southern Nigeria.
The Benin Kingdom in Nigeria actually fought and won the first war with the Europeans, they then retreated and sought more assistance to come back to fight and capture the King and stole a lot of his riches, which still exists in Museums in UK and several other european countries. See his picture with all the beads, you'll see such art work in Europeans Museums till date
As a South Africa I feel like it's important that u know that , that picture of King Shaka Zulu is from a Drama about the life of Shaka Zulu he is actually an Actor not the Actual Shaka Zulu... I don't think the is an actual picture of the King unless in the Royal Palace of King Misuzulu since Shaka was his grandfather
This wife is Ghanaian,you need to go there
i'm Zulu and i Never knew that king shaka was Stronger Than Pharoah🙆🏿♂️😅🔥🔥
Everyone comes from Africa. So much history there. I hated learning it at school, but facinates me as an adult.
I was waiting for him to mention Sundjata.
The Benin Kingdom/Empire was in Nigeria, with the Oba ruling from Benin city in present day Edo State of Nigeria. During the glorious years of the empire, it stretched up to the present day country called Benin.
The present day country, Benin changed its name, after independence, from Dahomey and took up the name of the Benin empire that it was part of sometime in their history. I understand Dahomey means "Land of Snakes" so they wanted a change.
So we still have Benin, just a city now in Nigeria and Benin, the country. And anytime the discussion is about the Benin empire, they are talking about the old Benin Empire from Nigeria. The Oba of Benin now, a traditional ceremonial stool, covers only Benin city in Nigeria.
Same thing as Ghana did. Ghana, uptill its independence was known as the Gold Coast.
After its independence, it took up the name Ghana, which was a glorious empire, Ghana Empire, covering the area from today's Guinea to Mali to Mauritania and Western Sahara. Today's republic of Ghana was not part of the Old Empire of Ghana.
King Mzilikazi - Ndebele King (no#1 King Shaka Chief) must be part of the list.
Great content
You both need to come visit🤗
Hey Family Iam Back!!!♥️🔥Thee Proud South African Zulu Girl♥️Name: Buhlebezwe(Beauty of the World🌍) Mwelase, kaMazibuko🇿🇦 loving the video😜🌻And marking the register✅✅✅✅
Izwe- country
Umhlaba wonke- world
OBA Gha tö kpere 🙌🏾
The Benin kingdom was a very big dynasty which spread from the southern part of Nigerian to Togo rich history there !
React to the Ashanti kingdom and it powerful palace .it beautiful
Mansa Musa was so rich his face is on the first map they drew of Africa.
You know the Ashantis of the Akan tribe of Ghana are said to be from ancient Egypt and the ancient Ghana empire before their current region the the formation of the Ashanti empire and because Ghana has Akans being the most people in Ghana, we name the country after ancient Ghana
That picture of Shaka was an actor by the name of Henry Cele.
Would love you guys react to the documentary the Congo Dandies
Yes you are right Benin Nigeria
6:56 happiness 🎉🎉🎉 Taharqa made it on the list👌🏾
You should have a look at the reed dance of swaziland
That's just 10 out of the multitude of great kings we had. Close to my heart is King Moshoeshoe who gained his name from stilling all the livestock of a rival King but gained his fame from being a great strategist and humanitarian.
He was also hand picked by the colonisers and agreed to Lesotho being a protectorate state for the British Empire
🇬🇭🇬🇭💯💯🙏🏾🔥❤️❤️
At least you guys learned about such, we only learn these on CZcams
Oba of Benin is in present day Nigeria. Southern part of Nigeria. Oba ghato kpere! Ise
Why the west is so powerful in military it's because of King Skaka Zulu he introduced the bulls horn attack formation , which is used to date by the US
All these Kings are not fake, they lived,and their kingdoms and people still exists today,
Yes Benin is in Nigeria
Menelik is the reason why Ethiopia was never colonized!!! A brave king
🤫✊🏾🇪🇷✊🏾🦁👑🔥✍🏾🚁🚀. 🚀 Fire 🔥✍🏾 Guys. Good job.
The Zulu (people of the heavens) thank you for the video
He's king of ashanti not chief ,check ashanti kingdom the translation is false .He's the only king sitting on the golden stool
2:15 Yes it is in Nigeria in Edo state not the country of the Republic of Benin but Benin in Edo state in Nigeria. Excellent question props.🇳🇬
Please react to The Battle of Isandlwana chapter 1 by Mbuso Khoza🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great reaction!
The video was great but it was hard to keep concentration cause of the persisting Batman Music.
Please do a top 10 queens/African female warriors 🖤🖤
I love your shirt queen 🙂☺️
Thank you, love!
I think as a Ghanaian, there were Kings and a particular Queen called Yaa Asantewa of the Asante (Ashanti) Kingdom that deserve to be mention instead of King Oseu Tutu.
Bro C’mon, they talking bout’ Kings. I understand you tho
Facts… they both need to be mentioned
That where Mansa Mayne got his name from
Proud Congolese, though I'm Luba
Yes u are right, Benin is in Nigeria
I wonder if they’ll mention anyone from the 25th dynasty of Egypt or even Hetshepsut.
I won’t expect any Zimbabwean Kings even though we had one of the greatest kingdoms on the continent in Great Zimbabwe.
The Mutapa was awsome traded from the Indian ocean successfully without war
@@toribabe1000 true that. We have kingdoms to be proud of…but l guess top ten of the entire history of the continent is hard to compile…especially since most of our history is unknown to each other really.
Egypt, Shaka, and then a bit of Ethiopian, Kenyan and Malian history are dominant for the most part.
And Mapungubwe as well, great Venda Kings 🤴🏾ruled there too 🫶🏾🇿🇦
@@rudzanimunyai2090 same people, no difference. Just rebuilding and relocating a capital city😄🫶🏾✊🏾
@@BatsiraiMusuka True lol.
The greatest is the ASHANTI KINGDOM!
Countless battles with British, Portuguese, Dutch and other African tribes and these nations were all superpowers at that time
They only talked about the British wars with the Ashanti neglecting their other wars with Dutch, Portuguese etc
5:50 khemet story in Egypt.ok.👍🏾
There is a county called Benin and there is Benin City (capital of the ancient Benin Kingdom). The Benin Kingdom cut across both countries, hence the European calling one Nigeria and the other Benin.
Lol, they didn't say the old Ashanti empire was from cote devoire to Burkina Faso, all the way to nigearia. And the British and the french fought them hard and took most of the lands. And the Ashanti were the strangest warriors in west Africa at that time
Proudly South African....proudly Zulu
You’re right elephant tusk
5:50 If it's not taught at as school, teach your kids at home .
You are right, he is the king of Benin in Nigeria.
Because of Mansa Musa the European colonisers , came to West Africa (Timbuktu, MALI) to look for their own share of the wealth to be grabbed.
Check out the history of Mali, to learn more of African Education, wealth and old history.
Ever wondered 🤔 If Africans were not educated how did they know the value of Gold or how to Mine the precious minerals as a lot of them are dressed in Precious metals and the Art works had a lot of metal sculptures, craft works /metallurgy.
African Traditions promotes mutual respect and doesn't encourage pride. The Status of people back then was shown through, how many kids, wife ...they had and how they were maintained, to Educational level and achievements through hardwork, which would earn the achievers a higher respect and a place in the society.
Correction.
The history of Menelik 2nd of Ethiopia is distorted.He did not expand his kingdom.He was able to re-unite the fragmented country torn by civil war which was a vision started by Emperors before him specigicslly Emperor Tewodros and Emperor Yohannis.Menelik is Not only King of Ethiopia he is African Legend that led the Battle of Adwa with his wife Empress Taitu and achieved Victory over White European Colonialists.
That King of Benin is from Nigeria.
There's Benin in Nigeria as a State and there's Rep of Benin as a Country
That image of Shaka is not even him. That's Henry Cele, an actor who played shaka in the Shaka drama series😕
My sister you just belong to us South Africans,You just look like many of South Africans here😊
That portrait is not the real King Shaka guys its an Actor from the Zulu series from the 80's which was semi based on the Shaka's life...but it was a European interpretation so not too factual..
We know.
Check out Dr Ashra Kwesi/ He is kemet Historian and Dr Anthony Browder/ the first African American to fund and coordinate an archeological dig in Egypt/ Kemet
U're right benin is in Nigeria
As a Zulu person, I feel sad that Henry Cele who acted in Shaka Zulu is now regarded as Ilembe (the King) himself. History tells us that Shaka was a handsome fella just like his parents. It just saddens me that his image has been distorted forever.
You know I always say this. Nandi was one of the most beautiful woman in the land, Senzangakhona was a handsome light skin dude, and we have Henry Cele has a result?????? No offense to Babu Cele he's a legend, but he doesn't represent Shaka's real image ----- AND there's a huge reason why they had to impersonate him as this "dark skin angry guy"
Appreciate this. I would have personally preferred it being a list of African Rulers, as many of the native titles Europeans associate to the English word "King", are not differentiated between a male or female ruler natively (e.g. iNkosi or Kgosi is also used by women, yet translated to King or Chief).
This falls into the trap of feeding into the misconception of African rulers in general (that it was always hereditary, male monarchs or patrilineal).
My personal list (no particular rank):
• Mansa Musa
Real Name: Mansa Musaa who was Mandin Mansa
• Dingane Zulu
Real Name: iSilo uDingane kaSenzangakhona who was iSilo samaBandla, iNkosi yakwaZulu
• Yaa Asantewaa

• Amanirenas
Real Name: Amnirense Qor Kadake who was Qes Qor
• Shaka Zulu
Real Name: iSilo uSgidi kaSenzangakhona who was iSilo samaBandla, iNkosi yakwaZulu
• Ovonramwen
Real Name: Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi who was Oba n'Edo
• Tin Hinan
Real Name: Tamenokalt Tin Hinan who was Tamenokalt Kel Rela
• Moshoeshoe
Real Name: Morena Moshoeshoe who was Morena e Moholo oa Basotho
• Kofi Karikari
Real Name: Kumasehene/Asantehene Otumfuo Kofi Karikari who was Asantehene ma Asanteman
• Nyatsimba Mutota
Real Name: Mwene Nyatsimba Mutota who was Mwene we Mutapa
Please keep the content coming. I love it.
There's no official picture of King Shaka, and most of how he's perceived is based off of the narrative of the other race. He is said to be a handsome man 😊
@Mansa Mayne moved to South Africa and we made him a king. We are waiting for you guys. Come your thrones are waiting
I'm from the great Benin kingdom
I googled it and it is true. Worth 400 billion USD
You are right, it's Benin kingdom 9f Nigeria
The Akan/Asante kingdom fought the British on the continent and outside the continent for over 200yrs..
The Asante/Akan ascendants who were captured and shipped across the world also fought and liberated themselves, i. e:- *Maroons(Jamaica), Barbados, Seychelles, Brazil, America (documented in the southern America museums (arts and crafts on ancient buildings depicts their influences (Jamestown), etc..
Their people are calm(mistaken for being meek), loving and hospitable, however every proud, united and furious warriors.. British archive pens how surprised they were to discover the sophisticated robust system on the army structure.. In fact, they stole the army structure of the Asante people..
Africans must unite and take control over their own destiny....
React to Independence Day in Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🎆

Benin in Nigeria is pronounce Benin.
Why Benin that share border with Nigeria is pronounce been republic.
You can check on a video on how the Benin city of Nigeria fought the Portuguese in the old days! And how the Portuguese took almost all their artifact.
