The Story Of Attah Ameh Oboni - the Nigerian King who Chose Suicide Instead of Bowing to the Queen of England.

Attah Ameh Oboni was a revered Igala King.

At a particular meeting held in Kaduna which consisted of all paramount traditional rulers in Nigeria and which had the queen of England in attendance, Attah Ameh was asked to remove his cap to greet the Queen of England as others had done.

Though he refused until they said he should leave the meeting if he would not remove his cap. But Attah was not like others, or was he?

It was a taboo for Attah to remove his cap in the public. The entire hall where they were staying was occupied by swan of bees which emanates from the cap of Attah Ameh Oboni which he removed in order to greet the Queen.

The Queen of England as well as other rulers in the meeting ran helter-skelter except the friendly Oba of Benin who was asked by Attah Ameh to go out before he removed his cap. The hall became empty as some were stung by the bees and the meeting ended.

According to history, Attah Ameh Oboni was asked to be arrested and handcuffed by the security people, which they did, but the handcuffs fell off his hands.

He was later locked up in a room on the instruction of the Northern rulers and guarded by the security personnel but only to find out later by the personnel that he had left the room. Yes, when the security were taking him to be locked up, he told his driver, Amanabo of blessed memory, to take the car and be going to Idah while the security locked him in the room.

He then warned Amanabo not to look back until he felt a cool breeze in the car. Though Amanabo argued a little that he cannot leave the Attah there but later obeyed and started driving back to Idah from Kaduna.

After some time, he felt the cool breeze in the car, and Attah Ameh was sitted inside the car.

The incident in the meeting made many traditional rulers which were mostly northerners to be angry especially making kings run in such a manner because of bees.

This became one important sin, and it was like “one sin too many”.

The queen of Englnad was also not happy and they (the Queen and northern leaders) started looking for a way to remove Attah Ameh from the throne since he was getting tougher and uncontrollable like others, as well as searching for an obedient replacement.

Igala has various cultural festivals, one of which is Ocho. Ocho is celebrated before farming starts, and it is the time that Attah Igala prays to God for sufficient rainfall, bountiful harvest, success in hunting. It is celebrated in the bush and the venue is called Ere-ocho, where the Attah will hunt until he kills a Buffalo or a strong animal. The community in Idah where Ocho takes place is called Ogo-Efa. He performs a little sacrifice to the ancestors using a fowl in the process, and this was to find out if there will blessings or problems in the land after the Ocho.

Before this time, the enemies at home (among the Igala people), especially those having connections with the leaders of the northern region, were working hard to get any evidence either true or false which can be used to remove him from the throne. The blood of the animal used as sacrifice at Ocho ground now became what the enemies would use against him.

Petition was written by these two Igala people to the Queen and some other Northern leaders that Attah Ameh was sacrificing humans during the Ocho festivals. Since they were looking for any means to displace him with, judgment was quickly passed that he must be dethroned, even when investigations were not yet concluded.

In addition, all the Igala cultural festivals including the Ocho were immediately banned and this remained for almost 63 years until Governor Yahaya Bello unbanned them based on the appeal of the present Attah Igala.

Already, before this time, the Oba of Benin who had such friction with the British had already been dethroned and banished from Benin. So, Attah Ameh Oboni knew that at that point, no matter what spiritual approach applied, it can only postpone the evil day as his enemies will never relent until he was removed by them.

The result of the blood sample which was taken from the Ocho venue and taken to University of Ibadan for analysis had arrived and it was proved that it was the blood of an animal and not human. Sadly, the revered King, Attah Ameh had passed on before the result was brought.

But Attah Ameh, being very sure that he was wrongly accused and framed up by his enemies, especially those from Igala who wrote the petition against him marking the beginning of his planned dethronement, made some pronouncements before his death.

He was allegedly quoted to have said that ” the person who wrote the petition against him would have that hand dried up, and that the leader of the gang or petitioners would be buried three times”. And they all came to pass.

While the hand dried as said, the other was buried as stated, first was the leg, second was his hand and the third was himself, all buried at various times at different locations.

In addition, as this information of his dethronement was given to him in a meeting from where he was supposed to go back to Idah and prepare to leave the throne, he stopped on the way in another Igala land called Dekina.

That was where he committed suicide.

Before taking his life, he was allegedly quoted to have said that the town, Dekina will be popular but its development will not be as much as its popularity.

He was also quoted to have said that because Igala was the genesis of his ordeal, there will be disunity among the Igala people until the reign of his own blood (son) as Attah, and all Igalas irrespective of their locations will be reunited again.

I think from the reconnection and reunification of Igala people across Nigeria and beyond which has been going on and still going on under the reign of his son, Agabaidu Idakwo Ameh Oboni II, the present Attah Igala, that pronouncement of reunification of Igala people is also coming through.

A chieftain of the Labour Party, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, has said the party’s leadership is making plans to woo the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, and other aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress leaders to support the party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, ahead of the 2023 general election.

Ozigbo, who was the governorship candidate of the PDP in the Anambra State governorship election, stressed that the LP would be ready to enter into an alliance with Wike, and some other willing state governors to gain their support for Obi’s presidential bid in their respective states.

He spoke on the sidelines of the Labour Party’s stakeholders’ meeting, in Awka, on Friday and urged the electorate to shun vote trading and vote for Obi because he could solve the humanitarian problems facing the country, such as youth unemployment, poverty, ethnic restiveness and insecurity.

He said, “It has become clear that Peter Obi is the choice of every segment of the Nigerian populace for the presidency of this country in the coming election. It is now incumbent on us to let those who don’t have the influence of the social media, who are influenced by money, learn that the little money they get that will not last for two weeks is not enough to sacrifice the whole of the next four years; that if they are in a position to resist the money, they should resist it, but, if they can’t resist it, they should take the money and vote wisely.

“Now, let me say this. We are open to discussing with other parties. Naturally, we will like to see the Labour Party in the entirety of the Senate, House of Reps and state assemblies. That should be our first option.” Punch

Kagd10:


You mean your Peter Obi who cursed himself and family if he ever left APGA or join any other party apart from apga? Heck, his pandora criminal case is out there.

No one takes your pathological liar serious. Someone who achieved absolute nothing in Anambra while investing state funds into his family business which the criminal justified.

Tinubu's legacies speak for him.

Simple task.prove him wrong so he won't campaign again

Nefort:
Talking like a typical Nigerian who always insult while communicating.

And what the man wrote wasn't an insult? MODERN SLAVE

The Queen had visited Nigeria sometime in 1956, signed some papers with a man named Louis Odumegwu .O, took (borrowed) a three full plane load of money belonging to a Bank called ACB, money was over 500billion pounds at that time, masterminded a war afterwards, during that war, destroyed all documents containing the deal (money borrowed) with the said man, about a year after eliminating the said man. Mr Louis was eliminated by the Queen.

We shall give full details on this, why Britain and others have worked against the creation of a country with name Biafra.

Britain was 70% built with money and resources borrowed from the said nation (Biafra). People must understand, the Queen had committed a lot of atrocities in the past, a country which should be the richest in the world today, is currently being kept under the carpet. But remember the expositions in the past? In no time, this country would be declared, these money would be returned. These are facts you won’t see anywhere near the google or Wikipedia. The mainstream is controlled by the agendists. You must be aware of this.

“YOUR MAJESTY, the British officials in Nigeria are fully aware of all these. They know that we are injured and deeply grieved people and had been cruelly treated by our erstwhile fellow citizens of Federal Republic of Nigeria. The British officials not only knew the crux of the matter, but they also encouraged Northern Nigeria to carry out and execute their nefarious plan against us.

They are angry with Biafra because Biafra categorically refused to remain as part of the Nigeria federation and political unit only to be trampled upon, discriminated against and hated, ruthlessly exploited and denied her rights and privileges, and slaughtered whenever it suited the whims and caprices of the favoured people of Northern Nigeria.

To add insult to injury, Your Majesty’s Britannic Government, instead of being neutral in our quarrels or finding ways and means to mediate and bring peace to the two countries, has now taken it upon herself to supply military aid to Nigeria to help them defeat and subjugate Biafra.

It is simply staggering for a Christian country like Britain to help a Moslem country militarily to crush another Christian country like Biafra. This is just too much for me, Your Gracious Majesty, this act of unfriendliness and treachery by the British Government towards the people of Republic of Biafra who, as Eastern Nigerians, had so much regard for Britain and British people.

In the circumstance, Your Majesty, I no longer wish to wear the garb of the British Knighthood. British fair play, British justice, and the Englishman’s word of honour which Biafra loved so much and cherished have become meaningless to Biafrans in general and to me in particular. Christian Britain has shamelessly let down Christian Biafra.

I love the Republic of Biafra very dearly and pray that, by grace of God, she may remain and continue to grow and live and always act like a truly Christian country for all times.

I am, your Majesty

Yours Most Respectfully

(AKANU IBIAM)”

Dear Reno, as Obidients, We deal with Facts....

As promised, We engaged an independent twitter followership audit platform to analyse Reno's twitter followers and that of Peter Obi.

Reno has over half a million FAKE FOLLOWERS.... This comes up to over 30% of his followers.

Peter has only about 10% fake followers - Reno has admitted publicly that these fake followers are products of his days of managing Peter Obi's platform.

We are very sure that they will pay millions to manipulate this data but we have already taken screenshots and are pleased to make them public first.

Reno Omokri lacks Technological know how...

He should know that the Peter Obi movement is powered by Smart Young Computer Scientists who will expose him if he dares talk about fake twitter followers.

My name is Charles Awuzie and I am Reno's biggest nightmare. He should stop sending people to beg us while continuing to insult our Next President. We will expose him beyond his Twitter falsehood. There are more things we are investigating - he should wait for us.

After him, we will start exposing all the enemies of progress - e go loud.

If indeed God rules in the affairs of men

Then this is one of those occasions

This prediction was made in 2020

It was on Peter Obi's birthday

Now let us say you don't believe in all those gods and all kinds of stuff....

Take a closer look at the Obidient movement and how it is gaining momentum

It's unusual

From leaving PDP to an unknown party without structure

To becoming a contending force in the 2023 presidential elections

There is something about the #Obidient movement that defies logical reasoning.

Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, on Friday, swiftly made a U-turn on his earlier stance on the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

This was as Umahi said he would stage an attention-grabbing reception for the former Governor of Anambra State, adding that “I like what Peter Obi is doing.”

Umahi stated this in an interview on Arise TV, on Friday, and expressed his admiration for the activities of Obi as the 2023 general elections draw nearer.

Umahi further described Obi as a friend and debunked ever saying that Obi would not get any vote in the All Progressives Congress-controlled Ebonyi State.

Umahi, “I never in all my outings and utterances mentioned Peter Obi.

“Peter Obi is my friend, I’m going to host him in Ebonyi State and I will host him publicly,

“I like what he’s doing, and it’s very encouraging.”

Recalled that Umahi was quoted in the past to have said Obi would not get any vote in the state.

He denied making such comments and accused the Peoples Democratic Party, in his state, of masterminding such narratives. Punch

Peter Obi’s Solution

✍️ By Yinka Festus Adb

Everytime I read people say Peter Obi is only talking about the problems and not the solutions, I get confused.

Is it that you don't listen to the man at all or you don't listen attentively because of your bias or you are just an outright mischief maker who tells lies to score points?

Obi's philosophies and ideologies have never been hidden because he is always talking about it.

For example, he talks about our crumbling economy and budget deficits and he is clear about PRUDENCE as a key factor to solving it.

Swear you have never heard Obi talk about prudence in governance as a key to turning things around.

He talks about how our culture of waste is killing our economy persistently; about how he used prudence to manage Anambra State such that he was able to win the award of "The Least Indebted State" from the Debt Management Office and left N75 billion for his successor - something no Governor have ever done in Nigeria.

He talks about the crashing Naira and how it is due to the fact that we consume more than we produce.

He was the one who invented the "CONSUMPTION TO PRODUCTION" mantra as the way out.

Can you swear you've never heard Obi saying something about consumption to production before?

He talks about out how the North with its vast land and human resources can be our agricultural hub. This is what he talks about whenever he is talking about Netherlands making $100 billion from agricultural exports.

The problem is you'll be more keen about the 100 billion dollars figures so you can Google and fact check him than hear his agriculture and northern talk

Lol

He talks about Industrialization and SMEs.

He talks about Education and Health.

He talks about creating jobs by massive agriculture and industrialization.

He talks about how reducing unemployment figures which can reduce insecurity by nearly 50% making it easier for security agencies to deal with the remnants.

He talks about how he will address genuine agitation by dialogue while the recalcitrant criminal elements will be dealt with decisively.

While we await his manifestos and policy documents during campaigns, please note that Obi have been talking about solutions to our problems but you are the one listening only to pick figures that you can type on Google to factcheck and bring here to call him a liar.

You'll rather pick the $100 billion of his Netherlands agriculture talks for factchecking than hear the part he says northern Nigeria having capacity to do same and more.

You are the one not listening.

Stu!p post ever on Nairaland Internet Forum

Sense is far from you

Take this to front page .Some say it's Buharis legacy.Ignorance is bad

Facts about 2nd Niger Bridge.

1. The Bridge is not Being Constructed by the federal government. It’s a PPP Project which the federal contributes a tiny fraction.

2.The 2nd Niger Bridge was to Cost about N160 billion but was reviewed by the Buhari administration and increased to 400billion.
400billion for a 1.6km bridge? Lol.

3. Started in 2012, project was launched in 2014 and should have been completed in 2017, but worked stopped for 31 months by buhari administration in 2015, & completion date was moved to 2019 but still wasn't completed until covid happened in 2020, so completion was moved to 2022.

4. Federal government share of the Cost is 20%. Jonathan through the Sure-P paid N21.2billion including N7billion for the completion of preparatory work (Phase 1).

5. 38% of the work was done as at Jan 2015, 1year after the launch.

6 Buhari’s Govt Paid N2billion when he came to power and paid another N3.05Billion when 2018 budget was approved.

7 Work under Buhari began in 2017 at the site and about 12% was completed before covid bringing the total completed work to about 50%

8. Jonathan Govt have paid 71% of federal government share of the cost, While Buhari’s govt is to pay 29%.

9. Anambra and Delta state government paid a fraction of 20% for the project.

10. Julius Berger, the Major Contractor and Construction company will put Toll Gate on Completion of the Bridge to cover their cost.

11. The Construction Company is Funding 60% of the Project and the People using the Bridge will bear the cost via Toll Charges.

The real People building the Bride are Nigerians that will use the Bridge, as they will repay the cost to Julius Berge

What nonsense zombie obidient?

Has Peter Obi made his Anambra great first?


The same Peter Obi who was in Jonathan's administration and even chaired the privatisation of Nigeria's electricity disco to his fellow cronies who couldn't manage it nor want to return it?


The fact that Lagos is the new abroad shows why Tinubu needs to be the President. Meanwhile, if not for the people flocking into Lagos to thin Lagos resources the more, Lagos would have developed even more than what we have now.

Do you even think?
The Lagos immigrants contribute much to her development.
Tinubu gave us Buhari .
Alpha beta is milking Lagos.
Your shame de shame me.
