When your people where killing unarmed Igbo of anioma origin in Benin city you didn't know there was repercussions..what where your clowning oba doing then....you guys asked for it and we gave it to you and would still do that


Thank Lord the ijaw are doing the needful in Gelegele....oya go and take....the oba of a dude is walking upandan looking for whom to help him


These Benin folks don't even realise that they are minority..Yoruba or Igbo can easily walk over them....they are not even upto 3 million in population....abeg make una close mouth jhoor


Who the hell is the Oba seff

honestly this Edo people need to be taught a lesson. They are getting too wild and disrespectful to people who can wipe them out if provoked

macof:
see fool. Idiotic son of a useless father
You honest? After having your lies exposed on more than one occasion?
lying to study in France what a fool would do

the guy is a disgrace to his Benin people he even accuse his oba of lying by saying oranmiyan their first king is just a fiction even thou people who followed oranmiyan to Benin like the Yoruba priest still remain in Benin till today

Well, what are you waiting for. Son of two w.h.o.r.e.s ?
What's the delay ?
Why not "wipe us out" rather than continu your crazy time consuming and stupid rantings on nairaland ?

You can imagine some tiny minority group....it took the Igbo less than 24 hours to over run them ...they should always pray for one Nigeria ..because if this country divides ...Benin city would be war booty

They don't know that they are in middle of two big tribes which can annex them easily...the Igbo and Yoruba then another relatively big tribe the Ijaw


You can imagine the tiny Benin with their tiny oba disturbing everywhere ....he doesnt even rule the Igbo speaking part of Edo (igbanke) or the Yoruba speaking part of the Edo (Akoko)

THE ASSAULT

At 3 a.m. on Wednesday, August 9, 1967, the fourth anniversary of the democratic creation of the Midwestern region, a motorized rifle brigade consisting of 3000 Biafran soldiers and militiamen, under the command of Lt. Col. ["Brigadier"] Victor Banjo, crossed the Niger Bridge at Onitsha into Asaba. The Biafran Invasion of the Midwest had begun. Transported in over 100 trucks and civilian vehicles, this was the nucleus of what eventually was planned to be designated the "101stdivision", also known as the "Liberation Army of Nigeria" or the "Midwest Expeditionary Force". Upon arrival in the Midwest, they split up into three spearheads, destined to peal off from one another at Agbor. Units fired indiscriminately into the air as they arrived unchallenged at successive tactical objectives. The seizure of the Midwest was essentially accomplished within 12 hours (8, 9, 13, 14).

The 101st HQ group included Major ('Lt. Col.') Emmanuel Ifeajuna as Chief of Staff and Captain ("Major" Joe Isichie as QuarterMaster General. Much later in the campaign, Lt. ("Major" Fola Oyewole (upon release from prison in Enugu, where he (and Adeleke) had been detained for the January 15 coup) became Isichie's deputy (16).

The 12th Battalion, under Lt. Col. Festus Akagha, made a dash for Benin City, [the capital]. The 18th battalion under Major Humphrey Chukwuka, headed for Warri, [in the oilrich delta] with Sapele and Ughelli as secondary objectives. The 13thbattalion under Lt. Col. Mike Ivenso, swung northwards toward Auchi, with Agenebode (across the Niger from Idah, in Benue State), and Okene (in then Kwara state) as secondary objectives. A detachment was to head for Jebba to destroy the Niger Bridge at that location (8, 9).

Unknown to Banjo, a unit led by Lt. Col. Ochei (a Midwest Ibo officer), specifically attacked the Government house in Benin, ostensibly ordered by Ojukwu to capture the governor, Lt. Col. Ejoor dead or alive (13). Fortuitously, Major Ogbemudia (then quarter-master-general) had changed the guard detail at the Government House during the night (14). Therefore, the soldiers on duty, not being part of the plot to hand-over the state resisted. Ejoor escaped, separated from the rest of his family. Other than some fighting in the Siluko area, this was the only resistance the "Liberation Army" had to face in its initial phase of operations.

Yet these bastards deny the fact that the Omo n'Oba's ancestors came from Ife

So tiny, yet all you guys can talk about is Benin Kingdom.

The crazy co trakking oba should read this

The elders of the villages, namely Orhua, Oke, Umokpe and Ekpan in Irhue Clan, in Uhunmwode local government area of Edo alleged that the Fulani mercenaries carrying sophisticated guns, bows and arrows, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons were brought to the community by a multi-national firm, Okomu Oil Palm Company Plc, Leadership reports.

The crazy oba should read this


The governor condemned the unwarranted killings by the bandits under the guise of herdsmen, in contravention of government’s directive that cattle should not move in Edo State at night.

Five persons including a first year student of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Collins Ojierakhi, were allegedly killed by herdsmen in Ugboha, Esan South East and Odiguete community in Ovia North East Local Government Areas of Edo state.

Before you pray tell your oba to stay one place


A medical doctor identified as Ehidiamen Oakimena was allegedly killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen along Okada-Benin road in Edo state, according to multiple online reports.

The doctor who was a senior registrar in Department of Anaethesia University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) reportedly died after suffering from complications and excessive bleeding after he was shot by his attackers.

Spot the ooni of ife at date 3:59 of this video of the coronation of the Oba of Benin:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHTRF0ivU6M

That was not a visit. It was a ceremony to witness his descendant and subject continue in a tradition that brought Benin traditional system under his dominion. If calling it a visit suits you,it is fine but to see an Ooni leave his palace to visit a Yoruba king is rare. It took the current Ooni breaking the tradition two years ago after almost 70 years to visit the Alaafin of Oyo. The place and the rank of the Oba of Benin in the Yoruba traditional system is even behind the Alaafin of Oyo.

People just make statements for selfish reasons, even the Ooni of ife knows that before the existence of any yoruba kingdom, the Benin kingdom has been in existence.
Whats the big deal in visitation, apart from ife, the Oba of benin has paid visit to other places. Thats the king's personality and He has the right to make some changes to some strict traditions of his kingdom
