GloriousGbola:


yes because they had telecomms back in the day and an exiled king in a community where he was a nobody, a stranger and a person who did not speak the language could somehow send instructions back to benin

benin to calabar is 12 hours on a good road. what was it in like to travel on foot in 1897 through uncharted bush territory?

PovertyStricken:
have you checked the Gloriousgbola moniker you quoted if it's the right one or the cloned one?
Cos the comment he made earlier concerning Ajimobi and Ganduje on influencing traditional institutions is totally wrong.
Check the moniker and profile before you engage.
Trolls have infested this forum.
The mods should do something about this

Amigoss:
🤡..Rehashing the same nonsense ,Like the full Nigeria today will withstand a war with Britain or an invasion from them....

There was a war between the Edos and the British, and they won they did not dethrone him because if they did, they would have installed a king while he was still alive in exile But he still ruled indirectly from Calabar,message from Benin were sent to him through a telegraphic stool ..

Moreover The Oba surrendered because his kingdom has been raised down and was exiled to Calabar. Now, no one was made a new Oba like they did with Alafin

GrammarNazi1:

Imagine a whole Oba being held captive for 16 years!

A whole Oba of Benin!

Let's not lie to ourselves.

The government can ridicule any Oba whose political involvement threatens the government of the day.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



Yewa people in Ogun fled to Benin Republic in peacetime Nigeria

GrammarNazi1:

This, besides the simple knowledge that an imprisoned individual is no longer powerful, sums it up.

That this is the fake moniker does not invalidate this particular truth, though.

OasisX:




.....white lie from era to era. LOL! Why body no tell Oyinbos when they sacked Oba Ovonramwen that later died in Exile?!

BlueRayDick:


Okpa why do u always find a way to bring tribal undertone to every discussion about Naija internal politics ? 🤦‍♂️

How Hewa people in Ogun state fleeing to Benin Republic take enter this matter now ?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



Is it a lie?

BlueRayDick:


It is not a lie

GrammarNazi1:
OasisX, the Oba ran away but was captured.

Afterwards, the Oba was replaced with another Oba.

BlueRayDick:

OkpaNsukkaisBae:



Yewa people in Ogun fled to Benin Republic in peacetime Nigeria

OkpaNsukkaisBae:

TrebleChamp:
Make any Governor try to dethrone Oba of Benin Nah! Onyaregbulem lost his two kids mysteriously same day after issuing a threat to the Oba of Benin, coincidence? Maybe but Benin people will tell you the chiefs made good their promise to deal with him spiritually, he had to come beg the Oba for forgiveness. I was living in Benin City when this happened, but you are other are free to believe what you want.

izzou:


The Oba of Benin surrendered, the British exiled him to Calabar and he died there.

But he was still ruling his people?

I don't history sha, but this explanation get as e be.

You fit dey correct oh.

YoungB1a:

That will be difficult for government because the Bini's
Still reverence him. The day the throne loses that, it can be ridicule by even the oredo local government chairman.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:


We must blame murderous Putards and Terrorist sympathizers. They're responsible for what is happening in Kano too, Oba vs Obaseki etc
