Bmaster:
Anambra recently unveil operation rapid squad,
Kudos to governor Willie obiano


Let obaseki follow suit.

Enough blood she'd in Benin already,
Them never ever give up

Police can't even come out again, they are scared

Mokason288:
And the fooooolish girl refused to mention the village... the whole of Anambra don’t kill Python ... She should have killed it and see harm befall her and her entire dull family ... it’s obvious that the Gods don’t want her in the family , dull girl



I HOPE I MADE SENSE

Only some villages in anambra, don't generalize.

Oshiomole is the best really

nzeobi:
Umahi is defecting for his personal interest which is to contest for the presidency.
I doubt any sensible person will defect and become a floor member because when you defect, you will join the queue as a new comer.

At least he will have the chance to contest, which is fair, unlike PDP that want to zone it to north

dadavivo:
Shut up, Umahi is a nobody in the South East. He's the least person to talk in South East politics.

My state will remain PDP come rain come sunshine. A greedy politician will always be a greedy politician.

Rochas and Orji Kalu are way more powerful politicians than him, but will put them in the trash can where they belong. Let alone unknown Umahi that PDP made from scratch.

Sharrap, what did Kalu did to make him more powerful than umahi? Everywhere know umahi and the work he has done for ebonyi state, if you guys produce kalu you guys will fail to get the presidency, that is the problem with the east, you don't know what is good for you

Racoon:
They invade judges houses on so called sting operation in 2016 but many were not found wanting.Meanwhile, BH terrorists financiers in UAE wired money from Nigeria to sponsor terrorism without the same DSS detecting same.Useless & shameless DSS.

Is it today you know that DSS are useless? They are just the presidential dog used for intimidating other opponents

WorkTheTalk:
Many years of terrorists attacks in Nigeria. The DSS hasn't been able to discover, freeze the bank accounts, and prosecute the sponsors.
But they have enough reasons to go after the bank account of peaceful protesters.
What a country!!!!

There was a country my brother

mrugly:
Now, to start with. Oranmiyan didn't conquered Benin(since he didn't wage any war when he got there). The story is this: The Benins came to Oduduwa and asked him to be their king and Oduduwa refused but gave them Oranmiyan (his last son) to go and rule over them.

Why the Benins came all the way to Ile Ife to ask for king( Some of you might ask)? Well, I can't fully say as there are some stories too that emancipated from Benin Kingdom that Oduduwa's origin is from the Benin Kingdom and that he is part of the Ogizo dynasty (if I could recall the name) which translates to the SKY DYNASTY. Legend also says that he(Oranmiyan) was the one who gave them the name Benin because, AS THEY SAY when he got there, he discovered that there ways of life is full of wrath, so he called that place ILE IBINU which translates to the LAND OF WRATH. It is true that he left Benin in anger when he saw that he was unable to change their ways of living.

You mentioned about conquering every Kingdom in southwest, go through your history book again and check if he conquered the Ijebu Kingdom.

d first ruler of Ife (Oduduwa) was d first son of
Ogiso Owodo by d name Ekaladerhan who wandered frm Udo town (capital
of ancient Aka Kingdom) to escape injustice, nd at d end arrived in
Ile-Ife where he was welcomed, acceptd nd finally made dia king. It
was probably as a result of divinity displayd in his personality dat
promptd d Yorubas ova whom he ruled to give him another name
"Oduduwa". Rememba dat d Yorubas believd Oduduwa migrated frm d "east"
to rule over them, nd Benin City is "east" Ile-Ife.

History of Benin Empire:-
The original people and founders of the Benin Empire, the Edo people,
were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who
called their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings were commonly known
as Ogiso. Igodo, the first Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained
popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was
succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace
intrigue and battle for power erupted between the warrior crown prince
Ekaladerhan son of the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In
anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left the royal court with his
warriors. When his old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty was
ended as the people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as
natural next in line to rule.
The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan, who was not known in Yoruba land,
somehow earned the title of Oni Ile-fe Izoduwa which is now corrupt to
yoruba language as Ooni (Oghene) of Ile-Ife Oduduwa and refused to
return, then sent his son Oranmiyan to become king. Prince Oranmiyan
took up his abode in the palace built for him at Usama by the elders
(now a coronation shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a
beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Osa-nego, was the ninth Enogie
(Duke) of Ego, by whom he had a son. After some years residence here
he called a meeting of the people and renounced his office, remarking
that the country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu (by which name the
country was afterward known) and that only a child born, trained and
educated in the arts and mysteries of the land could reign over the
people. He caused his son born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in
his place, and returned to Yoruba land Ile-Ife.

travelwaka:
Please go and learn about history of the benin Kingdom and Yoruba Kingdom. They have been one strong ally , Nobody is causing any marginalization. I am only talking about history of their long term relationship and how it came to be

You are actually the one without the knowledge, go back and make sure you meet the king this time, ask him who oduduwa is, he was a banished prince from benin.

Queenyprinxex:
Just when you think Northerners are the ones dragging you Nigerians back then you see one 'Okeke' suing every supporter of EndSARS obviously for monetary gains.

E tire me I swear

raker300:
I know this topic would rile some people up.

One has to admit that what anambra has achieved hust in years is unprecedented.

Hedging on the messed up war..anambra seems to bounce back with a force that cannot be reckoned with.

Following its financial and private investment stride..the state seems to be catching up with the former capital of Nigeria, Lagos

Anambra has maintained the top 10 position in finance, education, infrastructure and private investment.

Lagos on the other hand has been on a steady decline over the years which has somewhat heartbreaking

Some few pix of anambra .


Modified:

Ok, I dunno how some unscrupulous characters got the notion that this thread was taking a swipe at the yorubas.

Such insipid vitriol is a bush league move by some delinquents

This seed of disconcertion is eating deep into the psyche of some folks.

Full disclosure: this here is a healthy competition between states in Nigeria and has nothing to do with tribe.

Lagos being:

Former capital for 100 years.

Enjoying collective investment

Enjoying federal infrastructural largesse

Hasn’t been in a war

While her counterpart, anambra has:

Been totally destroyed in a war.

Was never a capital.

Enjoys only indigenous investments.

No federal assistance whatsoever...

These 2 locations are in loggerheads in terms of:

Education.

Financial sustainability.

Investements and growth

This thread isn’t a tribalistic banter page..

Is not even close to calabar talkless of port Harcourt, I stayed in awka so I know what am talking about

MT:
Patron of Olosho, camouflaging as a Pastor. Believe the prophesy at your own risk.

The prophecy have already come to pass so what's there to believe again?

OZOnNengiTheory:
Who is he that God would want him to pray against an event from occurring in a faraway US while he sees nothing to pray against about his own country?

We are all humans, we are united by christ and whoever rules America will have effect in Nigeria, whether you like it or not.

Golan007:
This fool again.

What happened to your 2016 prophecy?

You can make your point without insulting the man of God, don't bring a curse to your family

jlinkd78:
Imagine how loud this would have been if not for d blood on Wike's hands

I see no blood in his head, and if it's not a loudable project you won't bother commenting on it.

It's their religion, so I won't condemn, everybody with their religion, come to Jesus and be safe and have your freedom instead of been tied down because of religion, I don't even see anything bad in that pic

punisha:
I love her "nothing can dampen my spirit attitude."

Whomever is advising FG is only making matter's worse for the government. They have the option of calling these people and listening to what they have to offer, and redeeming their image (which can never be redeemed) but instead u make them living legends

Power is transient and and the celebration will be greater than the death of Abacha when it happens this time. They should be worried about who the next president will be. It isn't their shot to call anymore.

People like Rinu are willing to die for a cause she believes in.

They are just making them popular, me don't even know her before but today if she come to Benin to organize protest I will gladly join her.

cococandy:
You’re too focused on money and property. What you’ve done for her and her family. What you’ve given her. Etc. You’ve threatened her in the past with break ups even as she reassured you that she wanted to be with you. You love when she begs you to say with her huh. Now you’re crying when the shoe is on the other foot. Oga money is not everything. Calm down small.

Imagine if she finds someone who has that money and treats her awesomely on top of being generous to her. Na your loss be that.

So when she was broke and had nothing, money was everything to her then, but now that she's financially stable because of the guy money is no longer everything right?

Mutemenot:
Marry an Igbo woman, you won't regret it... she's money oriented and would do all possible to fetch money for you.. Get her any biz from sratch, she ll grow it wella.

I agree with you on this

CHoccolaTE:
They have no usefulness at all, none.

In many cases, once the woman starts earning considerable amount of money, the men abandon breadwinning for them and start spending their money on frivolities like carrying girls up and down.

Only them want to boss women around and expect submission from women but the same women must be earning money to feed them an pay their bills, these same women must throw away their fathers name after marriage and start bearing the name of a man she is feeding and paying his bills.

Exactly what my sister is doing, some men self

CHoccolaTE:
There is no benefit to marrying them oo, only men benefit from marriage, the children a woman bears answer their fathers name and add to fathers lineage,
Even companionship you spoke of na scam because the idiots will still cheat on their wives or attempt to cheat on her.

The only thing they used to do before which is provide, they cannot do it again and these days many women are the ones carrying the family.

Very useless people.

I agree with you 100%, most 21st century men are lazy.

ogododo:
Something dem wan open for December or January
I no understand $656 millions again Lalasticlala

LOL that railway will still take 2 years or more to complete

GavelSlam:
For one, Nairaland can ensure a moniker can only be followed if he accepts a request for such.

Secondly, noting an IP address notorious for disrupting your forum should be easy peasy.

Thirdly, create a more rigorous security format such as captcha would curtail such excesses.

It makes Nairaland an unserious forum when a single user can cause such disruption without punitive action.

Seun doesn't listen to advise

jneutron4000:
[/s][s]Oranmiyan son built Benin empire. The Ogiso dynasty and the Odionweres system did not build any formidable empire. So if not for Eweka dynasty, you would not have anything to be proud of

You are far behind history

Realtalk20:
When I tell the urchins from the tribe of judas never to compare us with them they get upset.

They see us as beneath them but I laugh as history keeps disgracing them

They ran to claim Lagos which we owned and where using as our sea port , we named it Eko , Eko means nothing in Yoruba but in our language it means gathering point or something like that.

That tribe is so bitter and tribalistic and it sweets me when I see their tears

Proudly Edo

And you have to bring tribalism here again, what nonsense, am from edo but we don't brag about those things cause we know who we are, we are better than this and please make this kind of mistake again, we tolerant and loving people.

If it's true then we need to get back to the street
