How is security in Benin?

Are the cult activities reported in the media overhyped? (only limited to school environments)

Cost of living?

And the witchcraft part too, is that one also overhyped?

I need sincere answers.

(6) Ogiamie palace. Perhaps West Africa's oldest continuously inhabited house. Since the 11th century. It is an official national monument.

(7) Holy Aruosa Cathedral. Probably West Africa's oldest Cathedral Church. Oldest indigenous church in Nigeria. Centuries before Cele/Aladura. Oba is head of the church like Queen Elizabeth is head of Anglican church.

MORE FACTS ABOUT BENIN-CITY

It is the capital of Witchcraft

Every home has a family member in Italy or Libya, prostituting.

Every family is fetish and has a deity.

Most houses are managed by landladies who have killed their husbands.

The Oba of Benin is worshipped by every family. He is more respected than God.

Every day, girls are bathed publicly at the Ikpobha river in oath-taking rituals or spiritual cleansing.

The stench of iniquity is so strong that the monarch always closes his nose in public.

Every house painted white and blue belongs to the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion.

Every junction is adorned by pots of sacrifice.

Brother you should trust the media now, they escalate details

Edo state/ Benin city is the safest in SS

forget that witchcraft story, every tribe and state has it

the only thing lacking here is industrialization

it's a town of 'flexing' that's why you find hotels at every corner

but the Europe migration story is true!

cost of living here is 1/4 of that of Lagos

They have wings and do fly anytime of the day.

Every Benin citizens have the inborn skill of flying an aircraft in Edo Airways that's why they're normally called Bini pilots.

Witchcraft is their culture and nothing can take it away from them.

Their girls are diplomats and ambassadors representing the state in Italy.

The Bini and Ishan ladies do obliterate their husbands and thus become land ladies.

And so much more.
Edo people, fear them.

According to statistic released by NPF This year, Edo state had the least crime rate compared to other south south state. You can google It.

There are cultist and cult related activities in Benin City, same way with other states in Nigeria and compared to some south south states, P.H, Delta and C.river are way ahead of Edo state.

Cost of living in Edo state as a whole is relatively cheap, and again, compared to other developing cities/states in Nigeria. For just 5k monthly, you can get a good rself contain, 10k monthly, a good 2 bedroom apartment; 15-18-20-25k monthly, a good 3bedroom apartment in highbrow areas.

And also worth of mentioning is that infrastrutural development in benin city has improve and still inproving Since 2008. Unlike before, right now you can get unlimited number of tarred roads with street lights, traffic lights and well planned drainages.

Your dissagreement wouldn't undo a fact neither will it change the price of garri in the market, you are one of the reasons why nigeria can hardly move foward, someone would slap you and you'll say he just swung his hand coincidentally in my direction.

Edo state still remain one of the safest state when compared to other states in Nigeria ..and for witchcraft thing, ITS A BIG LIE.. ITS JUST A FALLACY WHICH CAN NOT BE PROVEN, I WAS BORN IN EDO STATE BENIN CITY TO BE PRECISE, EVERY HOME DOESN'T HAVE A LEAST ONE WITCHCRAFT MEMBER EITHER DOES EVERY FAMILY HAVE SOMEONE IN ITALY,NO ONE IS IN ITALY IN MY FAMILY.. ASSUMPTIONS AND SPECULATIONS HAVE BLINDED MANY. EDO STATE NOW IS VERY RELIGIOUS AND HAS SOME OF THE MOST STRONGEST AND DEDICATED CHRISTIANS ..EVERY STREET IN BENIN HAVE AT LEAST 2 CHURCHES IN THAT AREA.. ARCH BISHOP BENSON IDAHOSA THAT SHOOK AFRICA AND THE WORLD WITH D GOSPEL IS FROM EDO STATE, PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME IS FROM EDO STATE, APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN IS FROM EDO STATE, THESE ARE MEN FROM A STATE THEY SAY IS A WITCHCRAFT STATE.. CHRISTIANITY HAS TAKEN OVER, JESUS REIGNS IN EDO STATE.. DON'T MIND THE LIES HERE ON INTERNET.... COST OF LIVING IS OKAY BUT THEY INCREASE PRICE OF GOODS EVERYDAY AND ALL THANKS TO OUR IGBO BROTHER'S FOR THAT.......... CULT ACTIVITIES IS OVER HYPED ON THE INTERNET, IF YOU NOT A CULTIST THEN YOU HAVE NO FEAR, SINCE I WAS BORN I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY CULT ISSUES... . ONE LOVE BRO.
