Gelegele is Bini land. It has been so for over 700 years The Ijaws should stop being mischievious. It was founded by Ekaladeran son of Owodo in the 13th or 14th century when he ran from the Obas justice. In the 15th century Portuguse, English and Dutch traders arrived there and were received and welcomed into the Benin kingdom. They traded with the Binis and not with the Ijaws. There are many documents to support this. Where were the Ijaws then? In 1823 the Vienese explorer Giovanni Belzoni died there of dysentry his death was reported to the Oba who sent message to the British to remove his body. In 1896/97, the expeditionary force commanded by Admiral Harry Rawson entered and attacked the Benin kingdom through the port and nearby settlement (not the Ijaw kingdom or outpost) on their way to the capital. The name of the bini village beside the port is Ughoton. Most of these details are recorded in history by British, Dutch and Portuguese writers. Nowhere is Ijaw mentioned. Are the colonial historians all lying? Note that many of these writers were hostile to the Benin Empire, they therefore had every incentive to distort the truth about the ownership of the land. Yet they all affirm that Ughoton and Gelegele were part of the kingdom. I will draw an analogy here. In many cities in Nigeria there exist 'hausa quaters' where hausa people live and do their business. Does that automatically make it their land? There is almost 800 years of oral and written history supporting the bini claim to Ughoton and gelegele. This is longer than the lifetime of Nigeria and even the Sokoto sultanate. The Ijaw should know their history and respect themselves. Oba gha to kpe e! All true Bini sons and daughters please like and share 29 Likes 13 Shares |

This is what happens when the government don't claim ownership of all the lands in Nigeria. The government should declare every land as Nigerian land. Meaning, set a sensible size and decide on a tax for that size, then create a system where that size is taxed annually and if the size is exceeded, the penalty tax etc Anyway since things be as e be. I think benin dey bluff and ijaw dey call am out. Nutin dey happen. One person dey here dey talk say benin rule reach anambra, me cun dey think weda de pursn dey use brain reason. De only people wey fit take ova anambra na Nigerian Army. Lol. I dey play o.... nwanne biko gbahara biko biko nwanne wu nwanne.
