there's no one born of a woman that would defile the order of the oba of benin. If the person doesn't die mysteriously, his own people will lynch him.

I repeat, I sense strongly that this Oba stands the inglorious chance of becoming the first Bini monarch whose pronouncement his subjects will openly defy. Mark it. No leader succeeds by ruling with anger.

I hope you know that people are gradually losing their reverence for monarchical institutions. His actions will only facilitate open defiance. That's why I said he should employ caution and wisdom so he does end up like Rehoboam who despised the priceless calmness plus wisdom of his father Solomon, and thus lost control of the kingdom due to high-handedness.

Oba Erediauwa was exceptional in many respects. He ably managed deviant characters (like Esama), with peace as his focus. He was greatly loved and revered because he addressed issues with outstanding diplomacy. The heir should not discard his father's success qualities. It would be regrettable.

Did you also listen to the language he used on Dangote during his coronation? When he spoke about the Gelegele seaport, he said that Dangote "must" investment in its establishment. People in the hall turned and looked at one another in amusement. They were surprised why an incoming monarch would employ such undiplomatic language in wooing non-indigenous investors.

Now you understand my points.

When Ewuare I The Great was crowned in 1440 AD, there were big men wielding power anyhow in Benin then too. Oba's reforms looked impossible then. Remember things were tougher then and there was no much history of such change to draw on.

Nothing Ewuare II has said so far has not been expected of him. If anything, it has been rather mild so far.

Erediauwa was extremely lenient & diplomatic. Of the old school.

But Nigerians take leniency as an excuse to misbehave. Like they did under Shagari & GEJ.

But Benin is a unique place when it comes to monarchy. Even in the face of European tyranny then, with Ovonramwen in Calabar, Benin people carried on as though Ovonramwen was right there in the palace.

Time of handling serious matters with kids glove is over.

You would want to acknowledge that monarchy is losing its ancient reverence and influence worldwide except in places where it operates on a theocratic foundation. Highhandedness cost Rehoboam the throne, while wisdom plus diplomacy secured the throne for Solomon.

This Oba faces an ignoble fate laden with public criticism, defiance and unresolvable conflicts at his doorstep. GOD forbid! But this looks very likely. Those urging him on, as they did Rehoboam, have no idea what being a leader entails.

you are missing something here, the cdas are not backed by law they only exist because they are mostly made up of thugs who intimidate people to part with the money and govt has chosen to look the other way because they use these thugs for their own purposes. so suspending them is in order.

Good one,they recently increased community development fee to #150,000, and some are even collecting #200k for open locations.A few individuals with the help of the so called community chairman pocket this money paid by different individuals and don't even do anything to develop the communities not even grading of roads.You see them with the meanest cult boys as companions, way to go,Oba ghatò òkperé, isé

that was a stupid thing to say

So who has ultimate authority over the 7 local governments in Benin ?

The Governor or the Oba?

Can the governor overrule the Oba?

I just wonder!

This information is false oo..the Oba has not banned CDAs .

Keneking:
But where is lalasticlala sef? You need to suspend this story on frontpage and on Twitter

The seven local government areas of the Benin Kingdom are Oredo (capital), Egor, Ikpoba Okha, Uhunmwode, Orhionmwon, Ovia South West and Ovia North East local government areas.

Note: the local government mentioned had the highest number of votes for APC in the last governorship elections

APC sef

Yep that's the most populated and developed part of Edo State na them open eye pass.

haha.well jazzed?? Oba is jazz himself

eseosa77:


The Benin monarch, Oba Ewuare II has ordered the immediate suspension of Community Development Associations (CDAs) in all the seven local government areas of Edo State which constitute the Benin Kingdom.

All land matters would henceforth be adjudicated by the Oba or through the Enogie or Edionwere and no longer through Community Development Associations.

The seven local government areas of the Benin Kingdom are Oredo (capital), Egor, Ikpoba Okha, Uhunmwode, Orhionmwon, Ovia South West and Ovia North East local government areas.

The Oba, who is the paramount ruler over the Edo South District of Edo state, has traditional right over all native lands in the kingdom, especially lands that falls outside the rights of the governor under the Land Use Act.

For many decades the Oba was in charge of adjudicating on land disputes throughout the district. But in recent times, especially since the advent of democracy in 1999, there had been a proliferation of so-called community development associations led by mostly thugs instead of community elders or true members of the community.

These so-called community development associations are not known to grade roads, control erosion or provide security for the community but they collect dues in hundreds of thousands of naira and oftentimes trouble land developers preventing them from developing lands through violence and intimidation.

Many of the CDAs are notorious for selling lands to more than one persons thereby creating lots of land ownership crisis in the state. Also they levy developers of lands all sorts of illegal and unaccounable levies which makes development of property in Benin frustrating and unattractive.

The pronouncement Sunday by the Benin monarch has elicited jubilation throughout Edo with many residents of Benin City hailing the decision as one of the best pronouncements since his ascension to the ancient throne.

Barr Abraham Oviawe, a civil rights activist and resident of Benin City hailed the decision at Agenda Setting forum saying “Great. Peace will reign in communities now”

Mr Austen Ehiguese said “The great Oba has just started well, God will bless him for us”

However many community development associations leaders, many of whom are leaders of a certain political party in Edo State, have started to murmur in hushed tones but in Benin the Oba’s word is law to a very large extent.

http://www.urhokpotareporters.com/2016/10/23/oba-ewuare-ii-suspends-community-development-associations-in-benin-kingdom/

Our leaders are beginning to live up to their responsibilities. It started with omo onile law in Lagos & now this? The idiots collected 100k from a colleague who built in Benin for foundation laying. Immediately he started, another fool came & said they did not bring his share. He started seizing shovels, head pan etc. He collected another 30k. When it was time for roofing, they came again & demanded for another 100k. We begged for 80k.(30k for roofing, 30k for elders & 20k for road repair. Immediately this money was agreed & paid, the hench men came & demanded for the money. We told them we had paid. We told them we paid 80k. They said the true figure is supposed to be 250k. Before you know it they seized all the working materials. Make una dey come again. God punish them but make he bless the new oba. May he reign long.

Maybe now all the touts will go and get a proper job instead of driving around in their jeeps looking for construction sites. When you are looking for farm workers, the only people that apply come either from the North or Calabar and it's environs. The Benin boys are too lazy they sit at home waiting for money coming from abroad, inheritance and land money.
