I lived in Benin for about a year in 2017. I have been to quite a good number of states in both the south, east, north and west- Benin city ranks bottom on my list. I stayed in GRA but my nature of visit made me move around town a lot.

My first week in Benin city, I saw 2 dead and decomposing bodies on the road in broad day light-along ikpoba hill and Sakpomba(not sure about the spelling). I had never seen dead and decomposing bodies all my life, prior to that.

The infrastructure is almost non existent-Roads and all.

Social vices were a norm. Almost every young man in Benin city is a cultist, a fraudster or both: Reason kpor kpor no get joy for there.The young girls? They are either planning to go to Italy or are into runs. I heard the word “Italy” more than I had ever heard my whole life. It was more like an epidemic!

I saw sacrifices and juju more than I had seen my whole life. I saw a church landed property, laced around with red rope. I was told it was juju.

Things wey man eye see for that way, I had to tell my friend I had come help setup his business that I was leaving. It felt like my life was moving backwards.

It seems this news platform "mandynews" is now obsessed with Benin kingdom and royalties.

First you posted a lie about how oba marry two sisters which is a lie, you lie against the throne and you think you'll progress?.you don't know what you've gotten into just because of traffic

Better stop this nonsense and remove this post because Benin tradition is not something you play with.

akunjohn:
There's an argument with my friends that in Benin kingdom, the women including the Queen does not kneel to greet the king.

Please guys,Is this true or not?.

Why are blaming the people commenting?. They didn't ask the queens to have their pictures on social media's. The moment they post their pictures on social media, it becomes free for all.
I believe the palace will see to new trend soon.

Hey Mr man enough of the self denier stuff. If your don't know you better investigate and ask questions.

I'm a bini by tribe and I've live all my life here.
The said girl lived in my area then (her family house) Uwuigbe Street, Off Sapele road.

The girl was pointed by the Oba in Kings Square (Ring Road) during one of his coronation days as a part of a traditional rite.

She was taken right from that day and never went back home.

He married her afterwards by sending reps to the family and some months later, they came and marry the younger sister too. I don't know why and here you don't ask much question but simply take things as they are (always royal) to the core.

I wondered why the information never saw the light of day even with the sophistication of our social media now, but wow! At least people are talking about it now.

So my friend dig around and find the truth for yourself and stop wallowing in denial.

This happened and I witnessed it.

lie kill you there. Someone that just open his account today and just have just 2 posts.

It's obvious the stupid Mandy news is using another moniker

philip0906:


I understand it’s your hometown or whatever but there’s absolutely no need scrambling to defend the hometown much more claiming I’m lying and exaggerating.

I have absolutely nothing to gain by lying or exaggerating on a faceless forum. My post was simply my opinion based off my personal experience, not public or popular opinion, so you shouldn’t be offended by my opinion.

I maintain that Benin city ranks low amongst the over 15 cities I’ve been to in Nigeria, based off of my experience.

Thanks and peace

I understand you bro, it's your own experience but the way you put it can have someone having ill feelings about the city.

Just like how foreigners now think of our county; their chances of survival coming here is between being blast by bombs from Boko Haram or being kidnapped and the funny part is that, our own people who left the country just few years ago are beginning to think this same way. Having thought the whole country is like that and by the snap of the finger boom!

I have a friend who left few years ago and now live in the UK. He wanted to visit home soon and called me asking if it's safe for him to come and that he doesn't want to be caught in a bomb blast or being kidnapped or killed in stray bullet.

I just told him if he doesn't want to come he should stay back and stop acting like we are living in a jungle down here (I knw some people will say, we sure are).

Anyways, the message is, a place is still beautiful no matter the challenges and vices but my bro, you just did exaggerate.

Purest23:


Come on man, I just told you I live in the father's street (Uwuigbe) and you want me to expose my identity here. Man, you're smarter than that.

For the record, if you are still in doubt. I believe you are base in Benin too. You can take a stroll down Sapele road and stop at Mosco, that's Uwuigbe street junction. You can take the street down, for the father's house is way inside and the street is very long.

Look for a kiosk with few people and stop by to sip a drink. Engage in whatever discussion and gain some acceptance as you talk along. In some minutes time, throw out this Oba young wives talk and act smartly to unveil the truth for yourself.

Please do this professionally and discreetly.


Also, you said I'm Mandy news with a new moniker, wow!
And you began throwing insult. You're bigger than that my friend or please don't tell me you're still a teenager.

All the same, I just gave you a chance to dig up things yourself and stop being blind folded or acting in self denier.
Ciao
