OK I hear you, but that will not stop Obi from buying up Lagos from oba and sending him back to the ghetto

hornyofife:


You so pained

Asides,its only afonja blogger that waste time to comply Rubbish to suit the delusion...

They don't do their research well, they just rank it based on hear say or what they think of themselves..

Richest king in Africa my ass. The richest kings in Nigeria are in the north are are quiet and not amala eating noisy owambe delusional afonjas....

Does any afonja king have oil blocks? If no, then shut the hell up...

My respect to the Oba of Benin and Obi of Onitsha. They are the real representation of class, respect, integrity, charisma and power

hornyofife:


Igbos had no empire because we are not invading salvages like you guys.you guys fought yourselves intertribally while we lived peacefully within ourselves and neighbors and even traded and intermarried ourselves...

But we still had our own civilization far older than any afonja civilization....hehe

Go and read about Igbo ukwu

OMANBALA1:


Be silent !

You don't know anything about precolonial Igbo land. Assuming you know you wouldn't have written the above nonsense.

Before the whites arrived Igbo land we had what we call Eze Obodo/Eze Ani who were the custodians of the culture and traditions but they held little to no political power, just the might to enforce traditions.

Before the white men some of the popular kings in Igbo land were EZE NRI, OBI OF ONITSHA, EZE ARO, EZE IWEKA, IGWE ORIZU etc.

Beyond the traditional stool we have Nze na Ozo and Ndichie who deliberated on matter bothering the town. We didn't not operate monarchy system like Bini and others because of our Republican nature. We believe in the theory of onye fee Eze and Nwata kwochaa meaning we can all be kinds in our own right.

In Anambra we have the Nze na Ozo noble society which any rich and forthright man can join after rites. Our title men have a personal chamber called Obi/Obu/ Iba where the title man receives visitors. A title man doesn't live in nkpuke, the female quarters.

Igbos have very beautiful culture that is also marketable. We have some of the most beautiful traditions in Africa and I am being honest. That's why people love nollywood, its the Igbo culture . Igbo culture has brought fame to Nigeria. Igbo is a very wealthy and powerful tribe and our influence is just starting to gain ground after the brutal war that has held us behind while every tribe excelled.

Your hate is full of hate.

Before 1914, there was no king in the whole of eastern Nigeria. It was a republican setting with the ofalla or ogbuefi title holders, given to men who made wealth and are respected, these men were leaders of council of elders but NOT KINGS.... NEW Igbo Kingdoms were created there to experiment indirect rule of the British colonialists using traditional rulers to collect taxes, it worked in the north and west because they had functioning kings, but it failed in the east because the new “emergency Kings” had no traditional powers or cultural backbone to effect taxation, that was one of the reasons they had the Aba women riot of 1929, go read your history... today, Igbos, are using nollywood to propagate falsehoods of an igwe and his ancestors that never existed before 1914

mrvitalis:

Who is the chairman of uac board of directors ?

Obi of onitsha is a share holder in shell Nigeria

Oga stop talking what you don't know

Empire doesn't mean civilization....

In real sense, what ever empire the yorubas had was under the Benin empire....


In the ancient map of Africa, there was karnem Bornu, Benin and Biafra, where was Oyo or Ife.

There was even Dahomey on the map....

Amarabae:
be quiet and stop talking trash.
A king who USA ambassadors visit always is irrelevant?
A king that elrufai bend and kneel to greet.
Obi of onitsha is classy and not that agbero that call himself Oba of lagoon .

liberalsinnerx:
Typical blacks driving Bently when your people are suffering. Black people are useless; very useless. Of all popular traditional rulers, only one does't drive a luxury...Obi of Onitsha. Ironically he is the most educated and richest of all of them.

hornyofife:

Go and read about the Eri kingdom......free education is not good for you

Olodo untraveled afonja

Jaideyone:

hornyofife:
thank you my Boi for visiting me..what will you drink? We have hero beer, tombo and nmaya

Diiet:
Oba of Benin is too important to leave his palace or visit anyone
only Ooni travels everywhere.
Maybe na him goast we they see there

Edo folks on this forum better open their eyes and understand that we are no longer in the stone age when kings would just sit in their palaces and expect people to be paying them homage. This is 21st century.

Jaideyone:
till you can tell us about your Biafran empire like you call it you remain a clown

bakynes:

You are just ranting like a Mad dog, stop been sentimental about this because you are Igbo, it is a known fact that Obateru(Obat Oil) is the richest Monarch in Nigeria if not Africa, stop arguing with fact it's not because am Yoruba that's why am supporting him,it is just the fact of life.

Likewise I can't argue Pre independence Ojukwu's father was the richest man in Nigeria after the death of Alhaji Danttata. It is a known fact no point arguing that.

Jaideyone:
if I take you up on nollywood you will cry here today. the bigger decision makers in Bollywood are Yoruba!!! the best movie so far (wedding party) is Yoruba dominated. ibos just like to make noise!!!

hornyofife:


Look throughout the map, I can see Benin and biafra, find Oyo or Ife and tell me where they are....proofing the fact that Yoruba's were under the Benin empire down to Dahomey, of which Lagos was a slave camp...that is why it is called Eko..meaning slave quarters or slave camp.

While Biafra was a loose federation of republican people, who lived freely and traded peacefully among themselves and also intermarried themselves...we didnt need to invade each other to create an empire...we were just blessed and contented

OMANBALA1:


So, because one of biggest movie was done by a Yoruba all of a sudden you dominate the industry ?

Listen, the Igbos created the industry and control all aspect of it till today. From scratch the Igbos developed an industry that is worth over a billion dollars. Without the Igbos no wedding party....deal with that since you want to reason like a senseless person.

Yoruba had fought very hard to claim the invention of Nollywood but it all ends online...lol

Jaideyone:
bight of Biafra. Biafra was never an empire. the only time the name was adopted for a place was during the civil war. it's funny how you keep saying Benin and Dahomey conquered Yorubas when they are not laying claim to such. no matter how many times you say it lies will always be lies. still waiting for our Biafra empire claims

Jaideyone:

hahahahaha that explains why all your five states can fit into Ogun and Oyo state (two of the seven afonja states). you guys are cowards
