LordAdam16: Nor can you see how you guys are frittering an enormous once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to better your lots.
Bayelsa should be a shining star in the SS. Just look at Akwa Ibom, even though the state is not perfect and have intra rivalries between groups.
A small homogenuous population with small land mass and lots of natural resources is like winning the lottery. Yet you guys are waiting for another Igbo slave to maximize your opportunity. Yet, if na to fight, una go first raise hand.
-Lord
The current oba of bini is of yoruba lineage so lets draw a line in discrimination against acculturated peoples. Next point Are you comparing bayelsa state to edo state, you mentioned akwaibom dat Ijaws are also indegenous to as a reference for development
PHILipu1: See how foolish you are. He was never a king,he was nobody and why will be the media even take photo of him? He was just a scammer that wanted to scam some brainwashed Ijaws.
The message is that you should tell your Ijaws freedom fighters that the are cowards for giving such a long ultimatum
Take the message to them yourself i'm not a Libyan slave
LordAdam16: Who would take the picture of an inconsequential fellow in chains.
The Oba was an Emperor. Jaja was the leader of a newly created city state.
They didn't even have to amass soldiers for him. Them jor deceive the mumu say dem 1 negotiate with am. Very easy. Next thing them bundle am enter Accra.
-Lord
Hahaha emperor geezy Go back and check the kingdoms recognized by the British and come back
jude33084: He was captured after the war with the BRITISH ROYAL NAVY and he still stand stall and his names,.... never ceased in the mouth of men till today.
I enlarged this picture and others in my house being warrior that flows in the blood of real men.
You enlarged the picture of a slave in chains, go to libya there are more "heroes" for you to enlarge their pics
PHILipu1: The Benin institution lived on and it has remain and it will remain for ever. We have only one king and any other king in Benin will rot in jail
Beer parlor talk, provide evidence, you cant arrest a king and no media outlet carried it, you cant just make spurious claims without evidence like this
The picture you are even showing portrays royalty.
A king that fought the british royal navy twice and lost in the last battle is a proud king.
A culture and traditions with ancient history?
Egberi...I never knew chains and enslavement portrayed royalty for bini people know wonder libyans & Italians are making them "royal" with proud chains
PHILipu1: He was killed but the Benin kingdom is still alive upto today. Only cowards that give ultimatum and Ijaw people and their king are cowards. Can you go inside cell to snap a criminal?
You guys were so dumb and useless that it took an Igbo slave to bring you guys together to form a formidable trading network and city state. After Jaja's death, no Ijaw man could continue from where he stopped and the Opobo city state fell into oblivion.
Opobo city state was founded by Jaja and it died with him less than 100 years.
The Kingdom of Benin is still standing after 900 years. With full-blooded Bini men running it through thick and thin.
Na only to fight, no iota of sense dey una empty skull.
See Bayelsa wen suppose b mini Hong Kong or Dubai or Qatar. You guys are a strong majority making more than 80% of the population. Natural resources boku with a small population of less than 2 million people. Yet to pay civil servants na war. Na only fish markets, brothels, and hotels full the state.
Dumb people.
-Lord
hahahahahahaah, and the self acclaimed empire that now consist of only 1/4 of a state and fairy tales of bravery, its funny you should mention brothels as an Ijaw thing , I find dat most ignorant, it seems you cant see the enormous tree in your own eye
jude33084: Go and read the history and come to me for more lectures.
In the British history Oba Ovorame is well crafted in their museum as a warrior NOT a coward who fight and run.
He was taken to Calabar and he established himself there before he died.
History
Wrong he was arrested, sentenced, exiled and killed, & you are saying he is well crafted as a warrior, does this sober chained man with no visible sign of bravery look like a warrior to you? Are warriors decorated with chains as necklaces? Think again
PHILipu1: [s]nly idiots that give ultimatum this long. Is either you start immediately or you just give 2 days. We have arrested the fool you call your king in Bini and we are waiting for your action but we are angry that 21 days is too much. We want it now. Bunch of noise makers and chest beaters [/s]
Lies and alcohol induced rants won't get you anywhere, show us picture of him arrested, our keep quiet when the British chained dis goat & killed him d provided hard evidence "God bless the Queen "
Abagworo: As long as the Gelegele are settlers then they have no right to threaten anyone. After all the Binis gave them the land they are staying.
Wrong they never gave them land There are many Ijaw communities indegenous to Edo state gelegele-Ijaw is just one community, channels tv visited there recently
PEOPLE AND DEMOGRAPHY The main ethnic groups in Edo State are: Edos, Afemais, Esans, Owans and Akoko Edos. Virtually all the groups traced their origin to Benin City hence the dialects of the groups vary with their distance from Benin City. The Bini speaking people who occupy seven out of the 18 Local Government Areas of the state constitute 57.54% while others Esan (17.14%) Afemai compirising of Etsako (12.19%), Owan (7.43%), and Akoko Edo (5.70%). However, the Igbira speaking communities exist in Akoko Edo as well as Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiris communities in Ovia North East and South West Local Government Areas especially in the borderlands. Also, Ika speaking communities exist in Igbanke in Orhionmwon LGA.

One day they will also say they gave Ika& onitsha people land
LordAdam16: What is the relevance of that to a discussion about the ultimatum?
-Lord
It is oh, who will defend bini from the Ijaws, when majority are busy selling punna allover europe, its certainly not going to be you keyboard warriors
Jaja an Igbo slave is who you want to compare to a living deity.
-Lord
Jaja was adopted as an Ijaw dats why he bore an Ijaw name to death its nothing out of the ordinary, there wer many bini princes who wer not of bini origin a lot of bini families have igbo and yoruba blood, and yes King Jaja, the Amanyanabo of Opobo is great than this slave in chains whose children are also in chains in libya
Invade a state? The Binis control the Edo State government. Are you guys going to put a gun on the Oba's head to recognize the idiot who does not know his place?
You say Ijaw land is not under the territory of Bini, but it is a Bini governor and Bini King that opened the way for the seaport to start after continuous pleading from the Gelegele people. The Gelegele's have been under the Oba since the community was founded centuries ago. You guys couldn't do sh*t then, you guys can't do sh*t now.
That's why the stupid man is begging to be recognized. Too bad he allowed his equally stupid relatives to threaten the only people that can recognize him. If una destroy the gas station in Gelegele, na still una lose, the small money wen dey enter the community from derivation go end. The seaport na Gelegele's e go help pass Bini man. So una forment trouble, una lose, una no forment trouble, una lose.
Una no kuku get sense b4. So none of this is surprising.
-Lord[/s]
Its also the so called bini king and bini governor that gave us the natural resources, take ur development and develop bini land na today una remember to love Ijaw people for edo state.

mr1759: he was chain u said, because no one could killed him can you compare him with your father king jaja who was cremated
Amanyanabo Juwojuwogha(Jaja) was never chained like a Christmas goat, he decided not to engage the British to save his people from the destruction which war with the British will cost, thats why there is no picture of Jaja in chains like this
jk1e: Ignorance kills faster than negligent,now I know,given the great Oba of Benin ultimatum,even the governor of the state,ignorance is what I see here nothing else.is even complicated because some of us are married to ijaw ladies,even my grandmother is an ijaw,that is the reason I am still holding my peace.i am a prince in Benin kingdom as such I won't let any infidel to mess with kingdom.
Where wer u and ur likes wen bini youths, governor and rOba wer embarking on Anti-Ijaw protest and policies? Or you think Ijaws across the six states of the federation will take your tribalistic chants and policies for granted, no inch of Ijaw land is under the territory of bini, if you doubt go and protest in gelegele-Ijaw, people wey libyans dey sell like stockfish don dey get mouth
mr1759: come to Benin, you go know say e get Oba take hold boys head the thing dey palace there, no joke I oba decide to release the thing then ijaw is finish
Abeg wer was thing when this niggerr was chained like Christmas goat

dandig: Warrior please look well before you type.1) from the post it seems the few ijaw local governments in edo have access to oil and oil companies and are still marginalised by the majority benin govt, 2)the council of elders meeting by all stakeholders in the state was not greeted by edo ijaw representatives. 3) the oba is for benin and onojies for other communities all not recognised by our constitution, 5) the governor Obaseki is the executive head of edo state and should not side the oba without lookibg into the matter..i heard they sent police to raid the community as well, 6) I SMELL OPRESSION
Its clear oppression of the Ijaws and others like the ikas, the oba of bini isn't oba of edo state
mr1759: how I wish buhari & Nigeria government will just give Edo and ijaw just one week to test ourselves. because is pretty long now the last war bini embarked on was with the British. I just pity ijaw ppl
