Whao, So you cannot engage in simple conversation without resulting into name calling. This shows your level of civilization. No wonder, we Yoruba shall always shine because our level of civilization is mile apart.
No intelligent person can talk to you. You are too dumb.

Wash, swear for polithiefcians na. mtchewww, d traffickers use the Benin diety to brain wash their human cargo. telling them all the fictitious spells that will happen, we really need to Emancipate our selves from mental slavery . alot of these ladies eyes clear once the get to Europe and fight their godmothers.

If the yeye OBA dynasty had powers, the British could not have used gun powdered guns to bring down one of the prestigious and powerful BENIN EMPIRE.

Imagine, predominantly Christian State.Majority of Edo people are primitive and believe in their diety. What baffles me is the countless MEN OF GOD (otobolizer) dat come from their.

I hope believing in the jewish & arab retards makes one primitive also?

Where's the oba to curse fulani herdsmen rampaging through Edo farms?
Very shallow and myopic assertion... spiritual issues and security issues are two different things, if you doubt me,ask your pastor why they keep police to guard their churches... but you still believe in them as your spiritual leaders. Think before you talk.

I can actually testify to the fact that since the man issued that curse earlier this year, I've read about many human traffickers in Benin being busted and arrested. Isn't this a good omen? And who has answered this man's prayer - God or the gods of his ancestors? grin
It's complicated, because I know those gods can only do evil - they can't fight evil that human trafficking and prostitution is.
Lalasticlala what sayest thou? There's a difference bro. A lot of difference. God is the Creator of the world Universe and its inhabitants while gods are Satan's demons.
But Jesus said 'dont you know ye are gods'... So are you saying Jesus was calling his disciples demons?
Read what he said deeply... We are gods of the earth, don't over emphasize on the capitalization, of course there is only one creator. Jehovah.

If it is only when I come to Benin is when you can established how great your king is ,then you need to have your fact checked. A man greatness is not in abundance of what he amassed but the life he touches. Several cashew plantation, empower money to the widow, of recent OonI gave million of naira and A car to best medical student in ABUAD. These and others are what show true great leader. No wonder prominent people across the globe are coming to Ooni place for one thing or the other. At least tell your king to empower those ladies in other to reduce ...you can complete it. At least Ooni is showing them how. Before what I hear is that "Oba no dey traveled " but when they see what Ooni is doing at least they changed that.



I thought I mentioned an adult not knowing its one of those teenagers on the prowl on Nairaland. There is no where in Benin history that it ws stated that the Oba cannot travel but a rumour spread by the myopic and got its embers fanned by the gullible. What it simply means is the Oba cannot be summoned without respect unlike they did to the ooni who trekked from ife to Lagos to honour the whistling of a white colonialist.

Do you know how many children are on scholarship courtesy of the palace, a secondary school over 50yrs old solely funded by the palace with over 100 students and other numerous project funded by the palace. Several palm ,rubber and cocoa plantation scattered all over Benin kingdom...you wouldn't know because your knowledge of empowerment is limited to Ife.

Bro, it is the same white man that gave you the language to define God and gods that sets the context for its realism. In other words, whatever he tells you God or gods or satan is what your reality is because you're stuck in his language. Example; the below words are all evil words for the same reason his god is God.

Black day
Blackguard
Black sheep
Black mood
Black widow
Blackmail
Black money
Blacklist
Black thursday
Black marketeer
Blackhead
Blackball
Black market
Black out
Black death
Black maria
Black knight
Black monday
Black spot
Black economy
Black ice
Black look
Black magic
Black mark
Black ops
Blackout
Blackjack
Black hole
Blackleg
Black wednesday
Blackboard jungle
Black eye
Black mass.

Basically, everything bad is associated with black man/satan. His supremacist complex is the same reason black is negative while words such as:-

White lie,
White magic,
White list, e.t.c are associated with goodness/white man. You see? He who gave you language creates your reality because your language is your reality. We have no control of who or what God or gods or satan is because we didn't set the context for it's definition. If we had set the context, gods would have been God.

I am writing a book on this, but if you want to get a complete view of it all read the book on my signature before the upcoming book.

India is well known for their mystical powers, the British colonized them....

There is a limit to everything but the Oba fought against superior powers and choose banishment rather than kowtow to the British and become a mere administrator of Benin kingdom.

Now tell us about your kingdom or tribe? and I will tell you the gutter your ancestors originated from, and also tell you about the bastards who fathered you.

Lol....Eko is Edo word for Lagos. The First Eleko of Eko ( Oba of Lagos ) was Prince Ado, a Benin prince.

Maybe you should ask Greece or Italy(Roman Empire) how come only Italians speak italy and why only Greece speaks Greek.

[qwhat are u saying,God is God,nothing else,dont turnnpeople to lose their faith with dis kind of post u better stop ituote author=Hakeem12 post=71359432]bullsh*t, people actually believed this? when are we ever going to shed our crude way of thinking as a nation.

And I'm not even surprised. When people don't even know curse and blessings don't work. Only cause and effect does.

We are teaching our children to worship God while other countries are teaching their children to be gods.
We teach our children to pray for smart phones and cars, while they teach theirs to invent smart phones and cars. Then our children become adults who go to church to thank God for smart phones and cars purchased from other countries whose children have become adults who invent cars and smart phones. That's why they don't need our God because without them our God can't bless us. It is the cars and smart phones they invent that we give testimony and thank our God for in our churches. Then we go about boasting that it was pastor's prayers and anointing that gave us these stuff.
We are teaching our kids that "A" is for "Apple" and they are teaching their kids how to turn apples into other products and how to impregnate apples to give birth to beautiful bubbles.
We are still teaching our kids the botanical names of plants while they are teaching their kids how to marry mango and orange to produce man-range. They are teaching their kids coding and programming in well equipped schools while we are teaching our kids how to prophecy and speak in tongues in well equipped churches.
Our children's school drama is about how to be a pastor or imam while theirs is about how to relocate to a new planet. They boast about conquering Mars, while we boast about hearing dreams and prophecies.
We choose our leaders based on tribe and religion while they choose theirs based on the solutions these leaders bring to the table.

We are poor yet look rich but they are rich yet look poor. We are doomed if we don't change our mindset.

The king who sees value in his people, not politically motivated or selfishly selective.

The Oba of Benin is divinely enthroned by God.
Unlike some social media mobile politically selected king whose subjects threw tear-gas in his palace.

You don't need defend anything cause as far as they're concerned, black means evil, bad, negative, it is down in writing and that's what make it a synonym for Africa in their perspective. Black definition https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/black?q=Black%2B

The fourth definition says "literary bad or evil".

And how does their opinion change who you really are? Color green is used to represent agriculture or lushness or prosperity. Color pink is used to represent women matters, etc. These are man-made classifications. Why should anyone be incensed because of these?
