If Obaseki wants to do it, nothing will happen. Government pass any King in Nigeria. Las las, Obaseki will depose the King if Governor thinks that's necessary




Go and dig up history. Ask about military governor Oyeregbulem. He was the last military governor of Edo state I think in 1999. He insulted and threatened to dethrone the oba. Heavy doom befell his household. First his father died. Then his pregnant wife and baby and then him. In this life, no go do pass yourself

In so much that the Oba have been over reaching his bounds socio-politically, governor Obaseki should tred with extreme caution with any attempt to divide the reignship of the Benin kingdom.
Impediments to the exercise of State powers especially in a democratic society like Edo State must be dismantled. Even The Commonwealth Monarch does not throw his weight around. The matter does not concern NASS. The best he can do is to run to the court to stop the Governor and appeal all the way to the Supreme Court knowing that the slow pace of our courts will keep in court until Obaseki tenure as Governor runs out which is not far away.

I am a typical Bini, you have to understand that Nigeria has moved past its natural attachment or emotional attachment to tradition.

Nigeria is guided by constitution, if the governor follow the constitution he will depose the oba and nothing will happen.

What do you think will happen in benin if obaseki depose the oba? That the Bini traditional rulers will lay a curse on the governor That people will protest? When all it will take the gov is to order a dusk till dawn curfew?

As that guy earlier said, it can happen anywhere in Nigeria and heaven will not fall.
The oba openly cursed anybody that further in engage in human trafficking in benin but people are still actively involved in it till now without regard for the oba.

Left for me, if there are better ways to preserve our custom and tradition then kingship can be scraped.

But it's not only the Oba saying it, generational KINGS of Lagos itself are saying same thing. See below

Having said that, the Oba was not elected by anybody. He ought know he is totally subordinate to the gov.

That king needs help. Is a small place on Lagos Island his Benin ancestors occupied and ruled now the whole of Lagos State? When his progenitors arrived, didn't they meet Yoruba people there? Are the Binis not relatives of the Yoruba people?

In Nigeria, all they do most times is buy and drive around in Rolls Royces on unpaved township roads without shame while marrying countless women they cannot effectively sleep with for their number and fathering children they are incapable of mentoring even as they prey on State resources to fund their unproductively lavish lifestyle. The Monarchy in Britain knowing that their existence could be threatened by modernity cut down lavish tendencies and concentrated on charitable endeavours that endear them to the citizenry.

Yes, the Benin Oba is the head of the animals ruling over it before that the Kanuri stole it from him.

I heard the Oba fled with his tail between his leg back then which explains why no Benin man can point to their ancestral home in Lagos.

Imagine finding a mega city like Lagos but yet no one can trace Oba of Benin palace or ancestral home or any Benin person for that matter.

It’s so sad that the Ogiso of Benin had to go on an excursion while they show him round Yoruba museum in a city his ancestor said they found.
I want to know why the Binis failed to establish their authority in Lagos/Eko as it were, seeing that the first Oba of Lagos is from Benin.Why could not they dominate it, make it part of the Benin kingdom.Someone should educate me on why the Binis don't have much ground to Lagos, to say "na we gettam before".

Onyearegbulem was a governor in Ondo State, and not in Edo State. All you wrote about him na wash. And if anybody died in his household, it is a natural death, including him.

You and your Oba of Benin are hardcore liars.

Below is Oba of Lagos rebuking your Oba and his kind. He never made that statement as in that same video, he specifically said that “Lagos was not found by Benin”.

You can say he gave the rebuttal in Dec the same year 2017.

English is your problem. How does ' I never said Benin owns Lagos" a rubuttal to Benin founded Lagos ? He only drew a line between what he said and the interpretation some Mofos like you were giving to his words. Wether you like it or not , It is on record the Aworis paid Isokale to the oba Benin for permission to live in his land.

It will happen, in Edo and even Ilorin sooner or later. Reason is that according to law as some people claim. Each local governments must have their traditional council.So it is illegal for a king to be presiding over 2, 3, 5, 7 local governments.

And some governors will see it as a challenge to their authority because all the kings are under the governor of a state.
. I can bet with my two kidneys, it cannot happen in Benin. There would be chaos too much to control.

In 1856 or so, the British annexed Lagos and took the right to appoint kings in Lagos from the oba of Benin. Get the letter written by oba Akinsoye of Lagos to the
British in 1853 where he made reference to being appointed by the oba of Benin to rule over Lagos.

Now his current tiny Benin kingdom with landmass less than one local government in Oyo state will now be divided into multiple tiny kingdom will landmass size less than that of a voting ward.

It is clear you are still angry with what the great Oba of benin said about the origin of lagos. Lagos was founded by the Benins. It's a known fact. As a matter of fact, the Oba of lagos has confirmed this before. Previous Obas of lagos were buried in Benin. That practice was stopped in recent times. Don't worry, Governor Obaseki can't do shit. Don't let that trouble you. Obaseki knows the red lines and he dare not cross it.

Yoruba traditional rulers that are so useless. Is it not yoruba traditional rulers that Obasanjo disgraced in public some months ago? The other one had a messy divorce. One bowed to a politician in a public function. All first class yoruba kings. The other one is an alleged drug dealer (I think olowu of Iwo something like that)

From the ooni of ife to the Alaafin of oyo, these are all leaders that emerge by political moves. The governors of the respective yoruba states decides who becomes ooni or alaafin or any traditional ruler in yoruba land. The Oba of Lagos is a servant to Tinubu and anyone who is governor of Lagos state (No wonder he was chased out of his palace during the end sars protest 😂😂😂😂).

Now this is a man that intends to bite off more than he can chew, and the unfortunate thing there is that there is no one he listens to! Obaseki should better remember the story of boda Bode Thomas and let sleeping dogs lie! grin

A reasonable person de advise him now!
The question is - why do some of our Politicians, especially,the Governors always causing troubles in the States- where de swears allegiance. eg Kaduna during El- Rufai, especially in the Southern- Kaduna and now Edo- but why?
-Is it because there is too much Money ( unaccounted Security Votes), -arrogance ( they feel too alienated from the People they are serving and eventually becomes an Emperor - as ----they are not Accountable to the People!
If the Obaship Kingdom is having troubles,you ,as a First Security Officer( governor) of the State should applied Wisdom to quench the fiery fire ,not to add to it!
