AIKOROJE FAMILY HISTORY

AIKOROJE is a Bini Name. Bini or Benin is an ethnic group of the people prefer to as Edo. The meaning of this name is, two people cannot be King at the same time. It is a name given to a Bini patriot by Oba Ovonramwen of Benin kingdom, Nigeria, for his loyalty. The Oba really wished both of them could become King because of his humility and loyalty to him.

This patriot escaped to Uhonmora-Ora, in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State Nigeria, during the invention of the Benin Kingdom by the British. Where he settled, married and had children which have metamorphosed into grand, great grand and great grate grand children today called the AIKOROJEs. There is a variation of the name pronounced as AIKHOJE, which almost mean the same thing. But is answered by another family in Edo State.
