Emotan
Emotan was a market woman who used to trade in food stuffs around the 15th century at the Oba Market in the Ancient Benin Kingdom during the reign of Oba Uwaifiokun and Prince Ogun –who later took the name "Oba Ewuare the Great" after becoming the Oba of Benin. Widely believed by historians to be the pioneer of the first day care centre in Benin City, oral history also has it that she assisted Oba Ewuare reclaim the throne as Oba of Benin after several years in exile.
==Life==
Emotan whose real name was Uwaraye, was born in a village called Eyaen between 1380 and 1400. Her love and care towards children around her made her loved by her people. After the death of her husband, she constructed a hut where she attended to the needs of children.
Emotan was instrumental in Ewuare's reclaim of the throne as Oba of Benin after she told him of a murder plotted against him made by Uwaifiokun and some chiefs during his time in exile. Ewuare went on to appoint Emotan as the ''Iyeki'' (English: leader of the authorized ''Ekpate'' guild), a position given to someone with the task of enforcing market rules and checkmating security matters.〔
