Tinubu Presidency is God-ordained, says the Oba of Benin

•••Hails Sanwo-Olu's giant strides in Lagos

•••Governor takes Royal Father on tour of State Museum

The Oba of Benin, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, on Sunday, said God ordained Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to be President of Nigeria and called on all Nigerians to support the administration as well as live in peace.

He noted that the victory of Tinubu in the 2023 presidential poll and his emergence as the incumbent President of Nigeria showed God ordained him to rule the country, hence the need for all Nigerians to support him to achieve the greater Nigeria of our dreams.

The Oba of Benin spoke on Sunday during a courtesy visit to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos House, Marina.

Speaking during the visit, Oba N'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, harped on the need for peaceful coexistence in the country for us to achieve sustainable development in all areas of the nation's economy.

He said diversity is good for Nigeria and urged the people to iron out their differences and live as a family in peace, unity and harmony with one another.

"God has ordained that Tinubu would become President of Nigeria. We are all one. I am for peace and tranquility. We must live together as one. Nigeria is big. We must iron out our differences and learn to live together as one, big family," he said.

Oba of Benin, who congratulated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on his reelection, commended the giant strides of the Governor in Lagos and charged him not to rest on his oars to achieve greater heights in his second term in office.

The monarch who visited the J. Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History, Onikan, after the courtesy visit, with Governor Sanwo-Olu, Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, and other cabinet members, also commended Governor Sanwo-Olu's commitment to the promotion of culture and tradition.

Speaking during the courtesy visit, Governor Sanwo-Olu assured that the State would continue to be home to everyone irrespective of ethnic, religious or political affiliations.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, who eulogised the Oba of Benin for distinguishing himself among the traditional rulers, said his protection of culture and promotion of traditional values have earned him maximum respect across the country.

Sanwo-Olu while conveying the greetings of President Bola Tinubu to the Oba of Benin, urged the traditional ruler to continue his support for the present Federal Government to ensure citizens benefit from dividends of democracy which he noted are becoming evident in the third quarter of the year with a rise in the country’s GDP.

He said: "On behalf of Mr. President, we want to thank you for your fatherly role; for your prayers and best wishes to the government and I am sure he will not disappoint you.

"He will do everything possible to ensure that he delivers the real dividends of democracy that will help our country to reduce the poverty in the land, give us a new set of hope and redefine social economic development."

The reason for this and other recent visits is very simple.

1) Germany and the UK decided to return some artefacts that were looted from Benin.

2) There was a dispute over where it should go. The Oba of Benin wanted them (they were looted from the Palace) and the Edo State Government also wanted them.

3) President Muhammadu Buhari ordered that they should be given to the Oba.

4) The Oba of Benin visited President Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa to thank him.

5) The Oba also visited Buhari in Daura (after he left office) to thank him again.

6) The Oba visited President Tinubu at the Villa to ensure that the arrangement was still in place.

7) The Oba plans to build a royal museum to house the artefacts, so he came to Lagos with some of the people that will be involved in the museum (eg Nduka Obaigbena) to see how the J Randle Centre is run.

So Oba don dey travel? Good.

But people say the Oba is too sacred to go out

He actually belongs to us


Yoruba King in Edo kingdom.

In order

Sanwolu just looking lost at the praises of the Oba

This Wike/SWAGA partnership will end in tears. When the proponents and supporters of this unholy ridiculous alliance use new monikers to cry about the hole they have dug themselves into, please remember to advise them to paddle their own canoe.

OBI too go visit OLUOMO

Hi

Here are Nigerians not filled with irredeemable bigotry and chronic hate unlike who we no fit mention from potoland.

The Owner of Eko has arrived. Well come Umogun, Ovbie Keneke ma-deyo, Ovbie-Oba Evonramen Nogbaisi, Ovbie Akenzua nu Isinorho, Ovbie-Erediauwa no-renedohia. Ekpeneriebe. May your days be long on the throne of your fore-fathers. Oba-khator-kpere, Ise!

This is what happens when democracy cripples the so giant of Africa with strands of old cultures.

Oba no dey travel is an acronym used to paint the bini walls in the ancient times.

Wealth and Affluence was the resources of Bini indigene.

There women are clothed with rubies and cowries.

There men are warriors with spade and knives, strong to the brim and can face even a hunter with gun.

Today civilization have crippled a so called tradition that sprout up the diversity of a nation.

I weep for forth coming generation

I weep for the new OBA of Benin.

He will be called OBA of Benin in USA.

Yet Yoruba is the owner of Ile-ibinu. Our Prince from Uhe took that land from d Igodomigodos.

He wants to protect d interest of Yoruba people in Lagos. If your eyes are opened you will see Yoruba's cultural being displayed by d Edo's only in another language.
