read your last statement again and tell me if it made sense....if the sensible and responsible ones are scarce doesn't that mean husbands are scarce? eh...Einstein.

Lol. Husband Na husband Na. Good or bad. Some women will marry any man ready to marry. Especially evening stuff.

Funny story from OP. They guy is at least honey. She can decide to stay or walk. Na her choice.

Benin is the 7ths most populated city in Nigeria , urbanization is mostly rated alongside a city population and fast the city is growing alojgside the population .... And not necessarily the beauty of the city

Stop disgracing nigeria educational system

Asaba could be finer but not more urbanized than benin

What tribe are you.....
AreaFada2

Abeg just forget those people. Wetin dem sabi?

If Nigeria had continued with Regional system, Benin would have been way ahead of many. Benin is a victim of Biafra war. The war made Gowon create many states and even more states came after that.

The only Federal presence are AIG zone 5 office, S & T military barracks.

Obaseki has done so much support in Edo, i believe you don't stay in Edo State

He means APC will want to win do or die.

Oshiomhole will not mind to spend all the stolen money left over from importing his albino to bribe his way to victory.

Because it would be a massive political KO to the midget if his acid loving candidate should lose.

Ogbuu101:
Obaseki is really a very kind man.
All these ppl resigning are Oshiomole's nominees,yet he is painting a picture of Obaseki being ungrateful.

Good. You know. They wanted to collects pecks of office until almost the last minute. And see how the trend might be.

By doing resigning in the last couple of months means sitting on the fence. They can argue a case for themselves to whichever party wins.

Ordinarily, the state exco could have been already dissolved. It's the governor's prerogative.

Hey mumu, the date doesnt matter what of if it was one of the oldest sculpture from owo that was taken to benin after benin invasion in owo the aftermath of the war left the others destroyed

Use sense dont just copy scholars works for me


Lets not remove the fact that owo sculpture is very similar to that ife sculptures too more like they shared similar artisans


What of if it was a gift giving by the ooni to the oba after d creation of nigeria that probably got lost or probably was staged by both party to form a false historical link between both tribes which i doubt because no benin artwork was found in ife

Was it found in the royal alters of benin if it wasnt then it doesn't suggest the fact that the sculpture was relevant


Every ife sculpture have a duplicate or a sculpture similar to a particular type of sculpture , unlike the owo sculpture that are hardly found in pairs, so were is d duplicate of the sculpture in ife from that


Dont be too desperate TAO11 it is an owo sculpture


Who will think picture 1 is an owo is an owo sculpture Because of its similarities with the ife head, This only explains that ife and owo shared thesame artisans


In as much as TAO11 wants to makes that sculpture ifel she has still not yet removed the doubt from everyone the sculpture could be that of owo


Possibilism willams failed to consider

1,that sculpture could indeed be from ife but was brought to benin after they might have created nigeria that's could be why the sculpture had no influence on benin artwork, or happened to have been placed in an acestoral alter, to signify benin - ife heritage

Again if it was a gift it wont have been a lost item buried in the palace it would have been placed on the alter to the oba it was gifted to

2) that sculpture could also be from ife and was taken to owo, since owo and ife shared same artisans, so maybe during benin invasion on owo the sculpture was stolen and taken to benin as a gift to the oba lets also not forget owo artisans were trained in the oba palace another Possibilism of it coming from owo

3) it could be an indigenous owo art as the regalia depict the eastern Yoruba king regalia unlike the ife 1300ad regalia which differs from that differs from that sculpture regalia, it must have been the amongst the oldest surviving artworks which survived when benin attacked owo and was stolen

4) if indeed we are to believe it as an ife artwork as believe by TAO11, which was taken to benin from ife then the relationship was a strong one for that to have happen , so we must also be able to find other relationships shared between both parties, like the benin-owo relationship

First of all we must find it in their artworks of both benin and ife so TAO11 show more relationships

Isnt that so
Willams failed to highlighten this Possibilism
Probably he failed to know there was an owo artwork in nigeria when he wrote the article

If this possibilism is not treatec by TAO11 then it would be safe to say it id an owo artwork that was lost to benin

Zealoy:
Hello guys pls I will like some advice from mature minds here, there's this girl am dating she's very pretty, sexy and hard working, she loves me so much that each day that she didn't hear my voice it will seems to her as if the world is coming to an end

The problem is I didn't love her equally the same way she loves me, initially I only wanted her for sex but she's getting too attached to me, and there's one certain man of God that warmed me to dump the girl am dating, which is her, my problem is how am I going to let her go without actually hurting her feelings cuz I know quite alright that she might hurt herself if I end the relationship between us. She's dangerously in love with me and I fear it will end in tears for her.

So you don't have any good friend you can push her to?

Man of God told you, better to see babalawo, alfa, oboh and dibia first too.

Soon the man of God will choose a wife for you. Possibly one sister that has used abortion to scatter balance her womb before carrying church on her head as no man show again.

If you don't love her or ready to marry, that's enough. Just tell her so. Painful but honest. She will survive and thrive. Good luck.

EmperorMaria:
Need marriage is different 4rm needing the man,,,I wonder y we Naija men keep falling 4 dat scam & getting used!!

Well, they should go marry robot then.

Men basically need kids and sex. It doesn't mean they want the woman desperately.

Just like women produce kids, men largely provide. It doesn't matter why women marry, fact is they must marry a man.

Men even prefer baby mama given a choice. Whereas women need a man's commitment for protection.

Each gender know why they do what they do, Nobody be fool na. All na game.

Those who call Benin City village make una come see o. Independent Africapolis don rubbish una again o.

It's even our kilt and kin Ezechima people that made SE show up at all.

Then Eko by Edo founders led the pack. Our Ikwerre people complete it in Port-Harcourt. I can see why all the envy. Chai! In a very short few years Benin Prince Iginuwa people of Warri will be up there too. I can see where all the hatred comes from.

Greatness spreads like seeds from a Great tree. No lies or propaganda can cover it.

Most women would rather die single than marry most Nigerian men.

Lol. Yet most women need marriage like oxygen in 9ja. Just be ok a bit as a man, comfortable and they soon want a lavish wedding.

My dear you know you just made that up. We date the women and we know how they role.

The only thing that will pain the guy is the cost of the wedding and the money he must have spent on the lady over the years. Perhaps other girls he ignored to stick to this.

In the end it will favour both to have not married. Time will tell who it favours most.

He was also right by saying Jesus was a feminist?
Ode people

Jesus was indeed a feminist. He protected the rights of women. While women who sinned were summarily punished, men got away with it. Was it not men who slept with the prostitute about to be stoned to death? He protected her right to life like other sinners.

I guess you fear feminism because many frustrated women call themselves feminists these days without knowing what it is all about. Michelle Obama, Chimanda Adichie and Hillary Clinton and lots of modern men are feminists.

These women mentioned here are married and support their men.

Very many more:

Portuguese (P) Caneca = Ekalaka in Benin (B) means mug/ cup for spirits/schnapps.

Serra (P) = 0sara (B) = saw for sawing wood

Limao (P) = Alimoi (B) = lime, orange

Aduana (P) = Adana (B) = Measuring bowl for garri, rice or beans, popularly called "mudu"

Carreta (P) = Ekarreta (B) = old entertainment dance.

Portuguese is so intertwined with Benin language that centuries from now, it will still remain. Sadly many Benin do not even know source or philology of words they use in Benin language daily.

The flowing robe of Benin chiefs is like the cassock of Princes of the Catholic church (cardinals/bishops). This was a tacit move to turn Benin into a Catholic empire by Oba Esigie from 1504. But the mobility resisted the move.

Rip.

Ise......

I dont really blame oba eweka 11, for our distorted history, it a good thing the distorted history was for a unifying purpose

Eweka11 was a true king and i respect him alot, if not for anything but for is wisdom, it wouldn't have been easy for we benins coming out from the effects of the war, with our little population if not for him
Today we are still standing next to the three big tribe in nigeria thanks to him for his bold and smart steps

My blames is this generation who tries to politicize and culturalize the whole diplomactic moves, particularly the yorubas who are using it for their own advantage and trying to yorubanise we benins

They dont know anything beyond amassing population, thanks to democracy that made having population useful


I know they are many benin royals from the palace who are on nairaland i hope they see the truth, and the great step taken by oba eweka11 to make benin what it is today.....

We all now know were the lines of both history were joined now

Eweka11 ghato kpere...... Ise

Ise!

Well, the title Eweka II says it all. It was another interregnum all over again. But this time with more "enemies" from outside. People previously part of Benin Empire until 1897 and Britain intent on crushing any opposition to colonial ambitions.

Benin renounced swathes of territory as part of the conditions for restoration. It was survival at that point. Imagine if Benin Kingdom was not yet restored by 1960.

Ancestors of these people arguing here would have written articles upon articles that there was never any monarch in Benin. Their would be plastering this this thread with those Propaganda articles write now calling it the truth.

Western Region would have probably manoeuvred and impose worse restoration conditions.

Awo would have sought to put Olu of Warri (for his unashamed tribalistic policies, since to him Nigeria was only a geographical expression) above Benin. His manoeuvre to raise Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri to led crisis in Old Warri province. It was settled by changing the name to Delta Province that still gave the name Delta State today.

Yes, modern generations won't understand the state of shock post 1897 and all the dark forces at play that Eweka II outwitted.

codemaniacs:
those of you quoting benin, togo and ghana should know that Nigeria dams the river niger which flows through these countries which means Nigeria must give or sell electricity to them to prevent them from damming the river niger which will lead to drastic drop in Nigeria's power situation...

In summary:
Nigeria does not sell electricity to this countries because Nigeria wants to..... but because Nigeria must and has to sell electricity to them to prevent the collapse of Nigeria's power infrastructure.

It's not about selling power or not. River Niger does not go through Togo, Ghana or Benin (only just through the border). It goes through Mali, Niger , border with Benin then on to Nigeria and through ND into the Atlantic.

Nigeria has a long coatline so that Ondo, Delt, Lagos and more can have wind farms on the coast. The North with enormous sunshine can harness solar energy.

Lol.
Everyone knows that post-1914, it became clear that the silly entity put together by the British would be a disaster.

So people began to consolidate relevance along ethnic and religious lines or both. Especially North & current SW.

Oduduwa & Oranmiyan stories were further embellished.

Alake recklessly ranked Oba of Benin as 3rd in Yorubaland. Alakes seem to like reckless talk sha, like the one in Western House of parliament about 70 years ago. Yet they say Oranmiyan left Benin to found Oyo monarchy.

Our SW people are confused about Oduduwa & Oranmiyan story. Too many versions that conflict. Which is a pity. Because many actually see the four walls of a school but remain rooted in ethnic ego massage and herd mentality. That's why I like my people from Eastern Yorubaland. Those born and raised there have a mind of their own. See Fayoshe. Even Aketi Arakunrin Akerodolu & Fayemi, despite being in Angry People's Catacombs of a party, they still do not kiss dry ass of beggar for "Aso Rock".

Even our cross-dresser friend TOA-TOA Christmas cracker here keeps quoting papers amateurishly cobbled together by Ibadan press pseudo-intellectuals that make no iota of sense.

Instead of humbly, objectively and dispassionately researching where Oduwawa truly came from. The dude travelled from Benin via Owo to enter Ife from the East.

Chai! The guy was so cool and regal that they thought he was a heavenly being. Benin to the Yorubas and to the World. Obaghator Kpere! Ise!

Is there any house you build without having a plan? Everything Obaseki does must be documented. there is Sense in MOU and we are seeing the dividends in Edo state. I understand That Captain Hosa is trying to demarket Obaseki, it is ok. Take a good look at the EdoBest, One stadium, Power plant, Auchi erosion control, Promotion of Civil servants across board , abolishment of CDA, Built a world class Secretariat office, Judges Quarters, Construction of roads, Even the road to POI house at Amagba has been tarred to his gate, Employment of Over 200K People, Modular refinery , Agricultural reforms, Pensioner get their alert every 24th. Civil servants get their alert every 25th, During any religious celebration, you get your alert two days to the celebration , Stopped Agbero from harrassing the pure water seller, our mothers in the market, if u are a taxi or bus driver man, you will buy a pin of 300 naira a day. that's all. no double taxation. Why kabaka nor go vex? etc The Man is WORKING. gelegele seaport is next. Every resources in each community will be harness for the betterment of the community. Come to Ayogwiri where oil and gas has been discovered. things are happening in Edo. We Love GGO and we shall support his reelection.

Even if Obaseki turns Edo to Dubai, haters under the zombie spell of their demi-g-god oppressors won't want to see it. Those who want to see objectively have seen it.

The fact an alleged billionaire is against him, shows he is on the side of the people.. you are no longer being fed.

When rich and privileged people gang up against you, then you must be doing something right for the masses.

But sadly the masses have been so cowered in servitude that they pander to their oppressors.

macof:
Lol coon. We are talking about your inherent hatred and constant attack on anything Yoruba on this forum, what is again expressed in this post. and you are talking about Awolowo and Tinubu
Again if you are part Yoruba as you claim then you are acting as a bastard and need to seek forgiveness from your ancestors. So you choose
I'm not discussing Nigerian politics here

Ogbeni n pajalọbọ we know your tactics

The way someone who would call himself omoluabi uses the word bastard effortlessly says more about. That not what people brag to be that matters but by their fruits, you shall know them.
Good luck to you.

True but that's a long term goal. As at today tho, can u pay for 24/7 electricity

With prepaid meter you pay as you use, Abi?

Why suffer headache for another man's problem?

Nobody thought mobile telecommunication would be affordable to Africans. But it is now.

There are luxury cars for sale all over 9ja. People buy whichever car they can afford. Use power as you can afford. That is the beauty of prepaid meters.

Benin Republic and Ghana have better power supply. Citizens there are not richer than Nigerians.

macof:
Same old talk. If you claim to have Yoruba ancestry then I put it to you that you are acting like a bastard
And need to seek forgiveness from your Yoruba ancestors

Ah! If my relative was deposed for having a different political position to Awo, then not surprising that Yoruba that claim being accommodators can be very intolerant towards even the highest of Yoruba stock.

Your talk of bastard is the regular intolerance FKK, Fayoshe and Yinka Odumakin/Afenifere endure in Yorubaland daily.

It's all political brainwash by the Yoruba political god of the hour. It was Awo, now Tinubu.

That just rubbishes the touted tolerance you guys brag about. The only tolerance is of Fulani impunity.

Bastard to me is he who cannot tolerate their people for having a different political stand but would lie and kowtow to his killers hoping to be rewarded with Aso Rock. To walk upon the corpses of his people to Aso Rock.
