The Oba of Benin is a toast. Hope gods will come to his aid when the full tons of Federal might descends on him. He will discover that it's the politicians that grants him power. Can u imagine doing this to Abacha? This damage control is unnecessary. If u want to eat frog, eat the biggest frog and be proud to answer the name 'frog-eater'.

Did the palace officially make this claim? Or did "unnamed sources" make this claim? (I know you're fond of questioning the veracity of sources and their claims.)

Did Abacha ever visit the Oba of Benin? (No)

Was Abacha ever president of Nigeria? (No)

Abacha could have done anything to your whole family and you would have smiled and taken it on the chin, since apparently you respect Abacha so much.

Haba Mr. Physics! Why single me out? BTW, I can't decipher your point. Can state it clearly?

Okay, I probably shouldn't have singled out your response. I was going to comment on Bluetooth's comments, but I realized that I don't really have a reason to take him seriously.

I have yet to understand why some Nigerians think that heads of state can barge in on someone, and, when that person doesn't greet them publicly (for whatever reason) instead of privately, the person that they barged in on is the one that committed some huge social gaffe or mistake. It makes no sense to me.

It's like you guys are all reasoning backwards. It all seems to be about ethnicity (Bini or non-Bini) or politics (PDP or ACN) rather than common sense.

I can see that your Oba is no more the custodian of Benin culture, tradition and language. He is now the custodian of madness, and dispenses it at will. But those shyt aint potent on me.

He meant evil spirits he inherited from his ancestors right ?

That evil spirit is being sent your way.

Since many people are implying federal might why not employ same to deal with the social vices you mentioned? At least they cursed.What has your almighty federal government done?

Understand that the worst Abacha or Obasanjo would have done is the same for Jonathan; banishment(awua). But it would not stop The Omo n'Oba from being Omo n'Oba.It is a unique system and you have to be Edo to understand it. Do not compare it with your Yoruba royalty or any other one you may know.

I'm independent, so I have no political affiliation whatsoever. Neither do I view this event through tribal lens. I'm only trying to be as objective as possible. The Oba's action is disrespectful to the office of the president. He is the Oba of Benin and subject to the power of the presidency. Some protocols needs to be waived in this circumstance. Afterall, did the Portugese give Oba prior notice in the 15th century of their coming? Disrespect is not relative and I fault Oba on this one.

This is exactly what I mean by backwards reasoning. If this is how Nigerians think, then maybe there's really no hope.

The Portuguese did not barge in on anybody's palace in Benin. Maybe it's because they had more sense back then than some of us have today.

And if you barge in on somebody, how can you or others complain that they can only see you privately?

People are so eager to talk about a snub because of unnamed sources in the palace, but they conveniently and deliberately ignore where the Oba was willing to wait for the VP to be ready to talk to him in a statement from an actual identified source in the palace.

And for goodness sake, everybody in the country including the president is subject to the laws of the constitution and their state laws, which are written by individuals presumably elected by the people.
Re: Aide: The ‘gods’ Stopped Oba Of Benin From Receiving Jonathan by ifihearam: 5:38pm On Jul 04, 2012
Mr physics
It will shock you to know that I knw very much of what transpires in edo state,should in case you were not born then,pls ask your father he will tell you how igbins divided the palace chiefs and bought some to himself. The ridicule the oba has suffered from igbins is immeasurable.

Igbins has no regard for the oba and yet the gods have not struck him
