Author Ekhaguosa Aisien’s New Book, "The Benin City Pilgrimage Stations," is a Fascinating Overview of the Landmarks Within Benin City That Every New Citizen Must Visit

New York, NY, February 11, 2025 --(PR.com)-- “The Benin City Pilgrimage Stations”: a captivating look at the iconic fourteen landmarks within Benin City that one must visit to fulfill their title as a citizen.

An Edo indigene from Benin City himself, Dr. Ekhaguosa Aisien (1930–2021) was deeply passionate about the history of the Edo People and is regarded as one of the leading historians of Edo history of his generation. He succeeded in creating the EWU-IWU, the traditional Edo attire by applying the traditional body markings of the Edo people onto cultural clothing, which is now increasingly worn by Edo people all over the world.

“‘The Benin City Pilgrimage Stations’ tells the individual stories of fourteen iconic Benin City landmarks,” writes Dr. Aisien. “With regard to their age, these landmarks range from about 150 years old to about 750 years old. They are all located within the inner city of Benin City in Edo State, Nigeria.

“A newly titled citizen has to ceremonially visit these landmarks sequentially, in procession and in full regalia. The course of this ceremony serves to validate the title conferred to him by the monarch of the kingdom, the Oba of Benin.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Ekhaguosa Aisien’s guide will help bring to life the sights of Benin City, allowing readers to step back in time and discover the city’s fascinating history that has persevered throughout centuries.
