His Imperial Majesty is just saying the simple truth. Igbo people live peacefully in Benin. And many have for centuries. Many we grew up together especially the girls remain like sisters.

Dad was so interested in me marrying one of them then, very pretty girl. Both dad & her mum had been calling each other in-laws since we were kids. I thought it was just a joke o. But she was a girl I considered baby sis then. I just could not cross that boundary.

Issues between Igbo & Benin people are very rare. Even issues with Agbor & Oboro people were typically rare.

An Igbo man was a famous Benin warrior nicknamed Ogogobiaga. We proudly acknowledge and praise those who contributed to our greatness, be they the sea-faring Izon, the dental surgeons (Ivbiosakon/Etsako), warriors/medicine men/royal sword casters from Edo Central/Igueben) and elsewhere. An empire is not built by few people only.

EVEN olaudah EQUIANO, the Igbo boy who was stolen & sold into slavery wrote many interresting things in his book entitled: The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, published in 1789. In it he identified himself as an Ethnic Igbo and citizen of Benin Kingdom.

Biafra war partly undid centuries of peaceful co-existence. Mid-West was even initially neutral in the Biafra-Nigeria war. But things have greatly normalised & my mum remained fond of Igbo people's straight business-like attitude.

It is rather unfortunate that you have so much unjustified hatred for an entire ethnic nation
Now I see the reason for the foolishness you displayed on the other thread

When you say Igbo in that, are you referring to the southeast Igbos or the Delta Igbos or both?
Are you referring to Igbos in the 5 SE states or just Delta or are you referring to both?

By Simon Ebegbulem

BENIN—Oba Ewuare II, Oba of Benin, weekend, assured Igbo communities and other ethnic groups in the state of the hospitality of the Benin Kingdom, saying they should ensure they contribute their quota to the growth of the kingdom.

Oba Ewuare II gave the assurance when executives and members of Igbo community in the state paid him a visit at his palace.

•Oba Ewuare II of Benin The Oba, who described the visit as surprising and overwhelming, urged all ethnic communities to feel at home and contribute to the development of their host communities, saying that the Igbo have been partners to the progress of the kingdom.

He commended the Igbo community for their respect for the Benin tradition and urged them to support the state government in its effort in realizing the Gelegele Sea Port project.

He said, “We want to assure the communities here of our hospitality. We want to express our gratitude to all the communities in our midst.

We want to expresses our gratitude to communities and ethnic groups in Nigeria that recognise Benin Kingdom and that show a lot of respect for our culture.”

You bring hatred upon yourself with your envy and bigoted but failed attempt to denigrate others.
That you always displayed foolishness, bigotry, obsession with Benin matters is obvious from your use of fellow bigoted writers for manufacture history.

Is it not true that you guys speak from both corners of your mouth and your yes can never be considered yes after two seconds?

Even some of your fellow tribespeople lament about that very distasteful their people in real life. Regularly in fact. They are surprised by the reliability and stability of other people. I have experienced enough of he turncoat behavior to last me a life time.

That is why if a person from my places says he likes you, he does. If he says next time you mess up, you will regret your life, do not challenge him to the contrary. Just go your way quietly.

You propagate hate & you no carpet hate and you now turn round and complain about same. Interesting.

If you only come here to brag and shout as you do in real life, just know that I am not.

Let me tell you something: I almost got deceived by your people into hating Jonathan. You people were using control of media to demonize Jonathan & Niger Delta people. Until I got home & saw all the changes that was on ground.

Even with overwhelming facts, better economy, better electricity, booming agric (many young people took up modern farming with Jonathan's encouragement) new Fed universities, hundreds Almajiri schools and more, you lot continued your bigoted vitriol. You guess survive on bigotry, so do not complain. My eyes opened from there.

OlaoChi:

firs of all, your writing is hardly coherent.
2nd, you sound like you have a problem with a few yoruba people you have met. Lets face it, this is pure stereotype, this whole issue of yorubas being two mouthed was started by the Igbos after losing the Biafra war, I would hate to go on to a political debate and how the igbos were wrong to think such of yorubas (it is obvious you are worse here than you are bad at History). If i was to use the ill character of the few edo people i've met, one here in the city i live just did what you accuse yorubas of to me, thereby making me lose a lot of money because i trusted his vow of committment, an edo man married to a friend was a serial adulterer, and many more. But I know better than to Hate an entire ethnicity based on my experience with a few. You would have also seen ill characters from fellow edo people.


then lemme make a comment to your delusions about Yoruba obsession with Bini. Yoruba and Bini are connected by Kingship and a long history, therefore it is only normal to make mention of Bini when talking about yoruba kingship and history, and this is vice versa. You do not talk about Bini kingship without mentioning Ife(Yoruba), so blame your ancestors for having much dealings with the Yoruba.

So far, all groups are guilty of bigotry. i have seen many bigoted statements from all corners of the country against others, Bini has not been behind in this regard.

If you were convinced by Political agents to vote for one party or individual, why should you blame them? is it their fault that they play politics well? or you do not know what soliciting for votes is all about? and In fact, I do not see you hate on the North or your former governor Oshomole for massive campaigns against Jonathan, if Politics is really your problem. You are just hateful

AreaFada2:


Thank you Mr English. You try.

Anyway, English is one of many European languages I have used as daily language since teenage years. So do not believe your writing is that great. Still, I was able to be educated by & understudy some of the very best, who won some of the most acclaimed international Prizes.

Where did your "presumed coherent Queen's English" get you? A den of cultists, a pamphlet buying & lecturer sorting glorified secondary school? I'm quite sure you will not know where to put or omit "h" before a vowel in your spoken English.

So you now accept that your people are among the bigots from many corners of Nigeria. Good.

If you people are not obsessed with Benin, why does it give you nightmares? Why did your Alake wake up one day & begin to rank Oba of Benin among Yoruba Obas?

then lemme make a comment to your delusions about Yoruba obsession with Bini. Yoruba and Bini are connected by Kingship and a long history, therefore it is only normal to make mention of Bini when talking about yoruba kingship and history, and this is vice versa. You do not talk about Bini kingship without mentioning Ife(Yoruba), so blame your ancestors for having much dealings with the Yoruba.

Mid-West left Western region in 1963 when we had enough to mind our business. So mind your bloody business.

I have no problem with Yoruba people because I have learnt not to rely on them. Simple. Even the seemingly decent ones. I need nothing from them either.

Oshiomhole or anybody can join any party they like, we are not people who follow one direction like a herd of cattle. We are not fuelled by bigotry. I do not trust any politician to begin with. They can support or oppose anybody to grab power & fill their pockets.

You can accuse me of anything you like. I do not give a poo. Your opinion is worth less that rat droppings in my opinion. I only write for the sake of silent discerning readers.

All I know is that politically, water will find its level one day. Nigeria will scatter and everybody will decide who to form a new country with.

I visited Yugoslavia barely a year before war broke out there. It was a beautiful place. Disintegration seemed impossible then.

OlaoChi:


I never claimed to be an english master, i simply noticed how hard it is for you to be coherent, especially in that last post jeez! get sense will you


here you are trying to question my status. you think everyone on nairaland brags like you, I don't need to give you a single detail of my life. You claim to be this and all that, yet it doesn't show in your use of words and attitude. you are a fake


And just to lecture you, omitting or substituting sounds( in this case 'h' as a few Yorubas do) is what they call ACCENT. Learn this today. The Americans have their accent, the Canadians have theirs, and so do the Edo




read it again!


oh my! You are one fvcked up individual. Since you know that anyone can join any party of their choice, why were you speaking ill of the yorubas who didn't support Jonathan, mind you, trash talking the opposition is basic politics, you should hold yourself accountable for the decisions you make, so if you almost hated jonathan and voted against him, that's your lot. Do not blame those who were simply doing their job, you go find a job.

another thing, it is clear that you are implying All yorubas did not support Jonathan, which i have to say you are damned foolish to think so, some of his most active supporters were Yorubas. And besides what did he do in the SW to deserve a massive SW support?
i have said i won't discuss politics with a total child brained novice but your idiocy on this matter is shocking. I'll stop here

Good for you, if you want to leave Nigeria, make a move. You can decide to rebuild your Bini kingdom, let's see how far that goes, or go with the Igbos they would love that, they wanted that as they invaded your land during the Biafra war. You think Igbos will take this nonsense yorubas have endured from you
