figure007: you just said something I remembered my ex said.. ..she said it's forbidden for her to marry an edo since she is edo ... Edo people don't wanna marry edo especially those in city. .they can't marry themselves. ..alot of things that's wrong with that tribe self.. .Am sorry to say.. .i have edo friends though
meforyou1: but igbinedion fought oba in benin and came out victorious naa. forget that thing. i can even engage the oba in a physical combat in ring road benin and nothing will happen
naijaboiy: [color=#1980BC]Oga keep quiet! Do you think the people of Benin have lost their traditional values like where you come from?
If your people don't follow your traditional laws it's nobody's fault. The Benin kingdom still exists fully and the traditional laws are adhered to strictly.
People still go to the Oba to settle disputes among them. Stop bringing constitution into this matter.
Constitution that cannot solve your country's biggest problems when your president travelled out of the country for 100 days leaving his administration confused.
Leave the bini people to do what they want. Besides the oba didn't go against the constitution as you speak. There is something called customary law.
Educate yourself before you embarrass yourself on a public forum like this![/color]
and what does the customary law say about banishing people ? Is customary law superior to the constitution?
Which constitutional issue did the president traveling cause again? He did not transmit power to his vice? Or which?
And so what if oba settles dispute? That's the only thing he can do as the custodian of culture and traditions. Do you think he can meddle in any dispute that's already before a law court? His power does not extend beyond his palace. Are auchi people also his subjects? His power is very limited.
oyeludef: or wat would happen? The oba would curse and banish and curse him too? He should wake up as dis is not 1880 where dey would do wateva dey like. As far as Nigeria constitution is concerned, the governor of d state has more power dan d oba in case u don't know
an LG chairman has more power than him under the laws
A presidential source disclosed this to TheCable but attributed the development to some renovations at the president’s office.
so, they actually poisoned this man? He shouldn't have allowed the outgoing government of gej to do any renovation or he shouldn't have moved into aso rock.
Now they're trying to tidy things up after the damage has been done.
eduSwisz: Mr president preach peace not hate. Your speech this morning was not what the nation expected of you.
show us the hate he preached in the speech. You guys just follow some fools on twitter or facebook , only to allow their comments to guide your own. Tell us how he preached hate.
comshots: Is that why you want to islamise Nigeria?Is that why you gave 95% appointment to the north?Is that why recruitment under your government favours the north more than other region?Is that why you supported Muslims who killed a female in the north over allegation of blasphemies?This is not a military regime.This s a democracy.Therefore,our unity is negotiable.U nity is not by force.
95% appointment to the north? You guys are just emotional illiterates.
Amberon11: Stop confusing the SS for the eastern region. They are two very different things.
see where dem wan follow now. Shey una say na because no other port for south de work apart from Lagos, na why business for SE de suffer? NPA nor know anything SS, na eastern flank dem know
Ereolamide: Victim and persecution complex pigbos, we need your attention on this thread to explain to us how Yorubas are responsible for the marginalization of eastern ports.
If not for this thread I would have believed that no single ship berths in any other port aside Lagos ports.
cupidkef: Newspapers made sway in the 70s,80s,90s and even early 2ks but with the advent of the social media,I have lost every appetite in reading daily newspapers ,this is why; I do virtually everything online,for example.....I got the info that buhari will be back on the 19th via the internet but the newspapers didn't even have that info until 20th,so tell me why I should patronize vendors if I get the news before them......
This is just my own opinion ,I know you have something to say ,i want to know your opinion on this matter.
even in America, newspapers houses still make huge sales
lonelydora: To save cost, all Federal ministries/agencies should stop giving managers newspapers daily. They have computers (even though some of them don't know how to use it) and phones with data subscription which is paid by the government. Why give them 3 different newspapers daily? Is it that their work for the day is to read news or what? They have television also in their offices. We are just wasting money in this country
Social media will do to newspaper what email did to post office.
social media is not controlled and some stories are fake. Newspapers will not risk their brand to post false story cos it might backfire. You can't even present a social media story as an evidence in court.
All this madness being orchestrated by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is ultimately aimed at possibly setting the polity ablaze [using the fuel of hate and intimidating speeches] in the phantom hope that the weighty criminal charges hanging on his neck would drown in the ensuing melee. In achieving this devious intention [which is a mere fishing expedition in the desert], Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would not mind using as many uniformed and less-privileged compatriots as are available as his canon-fodders.
This is why we don't take seriously and, the law will surely catch up with him.
