SUMMARY
This essay is focused on the divergent views of the dramatists in two plays: Ovonramwen Nogbaisi and The Trials of Oba Ovonramwen by Olo Rotimi and Ahmed Yerima respectively. In our analysis of the divergent views it is stressed that there basically three. These are: divergent views of he Whitemen, divergent views on Ovonramwen and divergent views on the trials. On the divergent views on the whitemen, we submit that Rotimi’s perspective demonstrates how the whitemen engage in trade relationship with Ovonramwen before the invasion of 1897, Whereas, it is the view of Yerima that there were no form of trade between Ovonramwen and the whites prior to the killing at Ughoton. The view of the dramatist shows that the event leading up to the Massacre is the first contact between the British and the Benin people.
