Why are the Binis trying to impose their Oba on another tribe. Those Ijaws have been there for ages as their ancestral land, perhaps National Boundary Commission can delineate that area into Delta State.
Do you know that there is Igala in Anambra State and no one is forcing them to pay allegiance to any Igbo traditional ruler?

What has those clay heads brought them?

Has any Ijaw become;

A President?

A vice-president?

A Dangote?

A Bill gate?

Given them paradise?

If they have achieved any these through those clays, then they have a point.

continentalceo:


They have produced and elected V.P and president. Which Benin never do.

MrMcJay:
If soldiers come into a shrine, destroy the shrine and the gods are either unable to prevent the invasion or avenge the destruction of the shrine, such god is not worthy of worship.

I think you should worship the soldiers who are more powerful than the gods and could destroy them.

It beats me how mortals are willing and ready to die in defense of their all powerful gods.

Egbesu should be able to defend itself.

Lock up and reaserch first before you open your mouth.

What of Augustus Aikhomu?

Or is Good luck Jonathan greater than Tony Enahoro?

Duru1:


Based on what? I guess the idiocy that permeates Nigerian judicial system. The Village Empire known as Bini ended in 1897 and the so-called Oba exiled in faraway country. Anything referred to Bini Empire or Oba today is silly and simply theatric.

middlebelter:


As you may deduce from my moniker, I am am from. Middle Belt. If the claims above that three Court Judgement has been wọn by the the Benin Kingdom on this matter is true, why then are the Ijaws fomenting trouble?
The best way, in a civilized society to prove your case and win especially when land is involved is to approach the court and after you have been defeated in the court you are still not interested in abiding by the Judgement, you should be ready to face the wrath of the law.

It is completely absurd and unfair for you to claim you own all the coastal land from Bayelsa to Ondo State because you are Fishermen. Ijaw, please give peace a chance, we don't need another brand of Herdsmen in Southern Nigeria, but our experience in the Middle Belt is Asad one.

merahki:
Misleading topic
However, an advice to adherentsfaithfulszealotsfanatics-
Destroying shrines and peoples' places of finding any kind of meaning to life is tantamount to a gross violation of life, barbarism and many words come to my mind but I am too outraged on the native worshippers' behalf to remember any now!

It is cringe-worthy when I see people go on "shrine and destiny destroying" campaigns and crusades...reeks of self hate and mental slavery (we by now should all have come to the realization that we were shackled by colonialism and it's trappings- acknowledge this at least even if still stuck to these cultures...)
Live, and let live

No people in this world would ever respect a people without their own philosophies, Africa in this case
Jeez

AxxeMan:


Ask your fada in bayelsa he might know

they took it to court and Bini won, so what other base on do you want?

FisifunKododada:
Binis and Ijaws have been living side by side together for centuries - so why all this nonsense at this time?

Duru1:


Please tell the court that adjudicated a case based on object that does not exist to go to hell. Bini Empire ended more than century ago and so-called Oba is an object of delusion.

babadee1:


President Goodluck Jonathan is Ijaw.

ernieboy:

because the ijaws suddenly woke up and wanted to establish a kingdom inside Benin kingdom, that is unacceptable.

Actually GEJ is not Ijaw. He is Ogbia https://www.nairaland.com/1382756/president-goodluck-jonathan-really-ijaw

What I don't understand is why Egbesu has so many homes. Everytime the Ijaws want to claim land, they mention Egbesu. How many Egbesu shrines are there anyway ?

Duru1:


Edo State is not and can never become Benin Kingdom. What is actually wrong with certain Nigerians?

ernieboy:

the entire Edo south is Benin kingdom.
