ifihearam: He has been warned of the dangers ahead and the anger of the president hence this apologetic publication. I trust presido,he will still deal with the oba one way or the other. Apparently those close to him must have warned him,anyways let's see how the drama unfolds. IMO the oba phuckt up big time.
point of correction,do not mistake the oba of benin for any of those yoruba obas that have no level,the oba of benin kingdom is not an ordinary person and thus has no fear for your president at all,he could as well refuse to see them and nothing will happen. ask about military administrators that bleeped up in edo state and what happened to them.

wesley80:

which explains why the Oba was at one time suspended from the Edo state traditional council (If I recall correctly) by a certain riffraff military Governor of the state after some perceived pressure from the "Igbins". The suspension caused an outrage at the time but the lesson here is that Politicians still very much call the shots on these shores.
and from that very day, that man was Cursed, Onyearugbulem died a Shameful death, leaving no trace of his existence behind! Kings are not Made, they're Born......

Before nko? Na government be the highest juju, and even the so called 'deity' realises that.

@ Topic
Fact remains that that picture of the President sitting next to an empty seat is an insult to the institution of the presidency. Any denials that the Oba did not shun the president, or the fact that he "managed" to see him in his private chambers is not enough to atone for the damage. Already, opponents of the president are having a field day mocking him because of that, yet some fools insist that nothing unusual happened. Can't help, yet again, but imagine this happened to President Obasanjo, or worse still, a president Buhari (who banished the Ooni of Ife and Emir of Kano during his regime).

Let's hope that the president does not take it personal, or else. . .you can't fight government and win.

ifihearam: “In fact, it is the respect and love Omo N’Oba has for the president that made him to still manage to see the president in a private chamber in the palace, despite a complicated situation that day.”


The above is an insult,adding salt to injury I must say. Complicated my feet.

In the Benin tradition, when they are carrying out traditional rites(ugie oba) they don't receive visitors. That day the oba have to suspend whatever he is doing and invite GEJ into his inner chamber to receive him. What else do you want him to d;follow them to the Stadium waving PDP flag? tongue
Benin Empire is one of the oldest Kingdom in West Africa and you know that's not going To change any time. GEJ should have known better that Oba don't play politics with the Tradition. Don't he have advisers for God sake?

So they said, but to some others, Oyeribulem was a man who simply lost the plot of his life and died empty and it had nothing to do with some "perceived" curse afterall, countless curses have been placed on kidnappers and criminals in Benin yet the town is still a thriving ground for criminals. In any case, Oyeribulem's singular act (brazen as it was) demystified the throne and underlines the superiority of political power. Don't get me wrong, though I recognize the authority of the Oba and revere the throne as most and believe this whole issue was blown out of proportion, it must not be lost on you that the Oba is subservient to the President anyday, anytime.

he shouldnt have gone to see the king when he was performin traditional rites.
secondly you as the president must know the pulse of each oba towards u.ie in oyo state during akala tenure he had problems with the oba he had to go with adedibu and when they got to the king akala had to wait outside while adedibu entered the palace to dicuss with the king.gej has advisers and his men should have known better.this is about power tussle.

Funny how you twerps clutch at straws in a bid to sound convincing. How did Navy Captain Anthony Onyearugbulem die a shameful death? Was he the first (or only) person that died in an hotel? What is a shameful death? Can you prove that the so-called "shameful death" was a consequence of his dealing with the Oba of Benin? So because he suspended the Oba, as was within his executive powers, that means his death must be linked to that action? Stop being ridiculous abeg.

Fact is that Navy Captain Onyearugbulem, a man of uncommon intellect and one of the finest brains ever produced by the Navy, put the Oba in his place by suspending him for several months until the end of his tenure as Military Administrator of Edo State, and NOTHING happened. If he had been struck with madness immediately he suspended the Oba, maybe we would have taken the Oba's supposed god-like powers more seriously. The fact that he died much later in unrelated circumstances does not say anything about the Oba's divine powers. People die all the time, many in very tragic and pitiful circumstances.

How would he have known that he was performing such rites? Had GEJ gone to that state without seeing the King, you all would come here and heap insults on him. Now, he went to see him, you guys are ridicling him. The problems are Nigeria are those imature children who have access to the Internet and abuse it by carrying false and unverified news both on Twitter and Nairaland.

no wonder nigeria is becoming a failed state with ppl of low intellect like u.so u think he shouldnt know tell me what are his protocol officers their for ?or do u think gej just woke up one day and said he is going to benin now.the visit was planned and it is the duty of his officials and even pdp members to see to it that all goes as planned.why cant he call off the visit to the palace if he was told that the oba would not be able to see him.pls i guess u have never been in a position of authority before.he is the PRESIDENT of NIGERIA and COMMANDER IN CHEIF,he has all the apparatus to know before hand so pls shut the Bleep up
Re: I Did Not Shun GEJ - Oba of Benin by Biggyd2: 8:59am On Jul 03, 2012
Seems he didn't read up anything about Bini and their Oba. He should have asked an average Bini man the meaning of the phrase "I don see Oba". They respect their traditional ruler more than our rulers. Moreover, their Obaship is not like many taditional titles that we are used to in this country that are bought with money!

You are not helping GEJ here. In fact, you are only revealing the thinking of the many 'yes men' and feudalists GEJ surrounds himself with who are always urging him to "deal with" folks Jonathan should ordinarily have on his side if he is a President transparently and genuinely committed to Nigeria's development.
