that woman is an hypocrite

A very foolish and ugly one at that.

Guyman02:
Na so Aisha take represent her husband and confused the sophisticated people from Islamabad who are now forming Amotekun to protect themselves against Buhari tribal Fulani militia.
Aisha made all the promises such as stable electricity and reduced fuel pump price.
Edo people shine your eyes

1984 and 2020 comments from Buhari

That Amotekun got me. The hypocrisy is big.

What form of vote of no confidence could be worse than creation of Amotekun?

If a leader cannot protect your life and property, which projects or programs is he going to do that is more important than your life and life of your family?
Some people Na specialist in deceiving themselves. Speaking from all corners of their mouth.

If oba didn't tell each of them the bitter truth it won't have any meaningful impact, signing peace pact that is not enforceable. But obaseki and shaibu would calm down now. I knw oba would say one or two bitter truth for pastor too, his own may not be weighty like those in govt.

God bless you. You know this platform is APC platform run by SW APC people largely.
Anything that criticises anyone perceived to not kiss APC leaders ass makes front page and is overblown.

They forget that since Obaseki and Shuaibu are in power now, speaking truth to power is crucial if truly seeking for peace. Otherwise face accusations of having received money from government.

Everyone know that virtually all the known thugs in Edo belong to APC. One even celebrating billion Naira alert publicly, no question asked.
Advice given to one applies to all.

I showed my bank this news.
They credited my account with 1000 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.

These days, fear "daylight witches".

They are regular people, maybe even family or friends. Very envious of you and secretly wish you failure and evil.

They are far worse and close to you, ready and able to hurt you anytime.

Hope you can enlighten us more about Ekiokpagha Treaty?

It's clear to the reasonable world that Ekaladerhan's moon light tale is to solidify and give credence to Oba of Bini as been indigenous to Igodomomigodo and relegate the treaty. Also for Igodomomigodo people's acceptance and cooperation. Oba Erediauwa was the author of all this. His son may uphold the treaty and the connection between Benin and Ifẹ.

Once more, I take nothing out of Ogiamien's case and they should also know that they can never relegate Oba of Bini status. Had Oba Erediauwa known this, he wouldn't have gone into promoting Ekaladerhan's story.
I also have no further submission to make on this; several facts had been submitted on this forum...You can simply join in, against Ogiamien family in the case.

There was no treaty. That is Ogiamie Trumpet nonsense.

You can almost call it Ekiokpagha peace. It was after Ogiamie was defeated and he submitted. You make a treaty with someone or an entity considered independent and maybe equal.

Oba Ewedo, because of the heroics of Evian (ancestor of Ogiamie), generously granted him a chieftaincy title with his nickname Ogiamie.

He later became an Uzama n'Ibie (junior Uzama or junior kingmakers/crowners) member along with chief Ineh and others.

Junior kingmakers creation was a deft political move by Oba Ewuare l (if I am not mistaken). It meant the senior Uzama chiefs cannot hold any crown prince to ransom before coronation. He could defer to the junior Uzama to crown him.

Ogiamie also makes the physical Royal stool for the Oba. In remembrance of the fact that Oba Ewedo took the stool that Ogiamie sat on to administer Benin during the interregnum from him when he submitted. Along with some role in coronation and ritual matters. But none is so important that the Palace cannot do without.

After 1897, the colonial authorities did not even consider Ogiamien as important to give him any role in the administration. Whereas chiefs Ero, Aiyobahan, Obakhavbaye and other high ranking chiefs ruled the kingdom.

OP, tribalism, chest beating and supremacy battle won't let you get the facts.

Essentially less than 5000 years ago, many tribes in current Southern and Middle Belt of Nigeria would have had a lot in common.

But people will only accept that now if they can claim that their current tribe was the leader of all.

babyfaceafrica:
why are u now blaming Adam's? He has reciprocated shuiab fathers gesture!

Do not jump into a discussion without knowing how it started.

The guy accused Shuaibu of fanning the embers.
So I educated him on their history.

I know our people from SW support anybody that they feel they can use to further SW course.

But I cannot support somebody who calls himself a statesman but cannot avoid steps that will create problems in his home state. He had his 8 years a governor. Now suddenly Obaseki is not qualified to stand after 4 years in office. That is Ambode godfather tactics brought to Edo State.

SW supporters of Oshio do not care if Edo burns, so far Oshio is in their pockets.

That market get bad reputation well well.
They should proactive in preventing fraud, not just react to online complaints if victims.

Omihanifa:
But Oshiomhole too literally backed shaibu all the way up

Right from his days as NANs president> house of reps member > deputy governor

Well, Oshiomhole was able to do so because he first got the chance to become somebody. And that was because of Shuaibu's father.

Of course Oshio could have been ungrateful and not help Shuaibu. But I guess he did the least he could have done for Shuaibu.

Omihanifa:
This matter would have been resolved long ago but the deputy governor is the one gingering the governor to fight on

And unfortunately everything the deputy governor ( Philip shaibu ) learnt today about fighting dirty and not giving up is from Oshiomhole

Lie. Shuaibu's father legally adopted Oshiomole. Put him in school and put him in textile job in Kaduna. They are legally brothers. Do not say what you do not know.

Can't you see how Oshiomhole made enemies everywhere? He is someone who revels in controversy and enmity. Disagree with him and you incur his wrath.

Some people are like that. The reason behind such personality trait can be traced back to childhood.

Warchild01:
This man took a calculated risk.
Ultimately, he sponsored his wife to Australia because of himself knowing fully well that his wife's studentship in that country is his own and offspring's Visa. From the image above, i am sure he is now resident in Australia. NO PERMANENT FRIENDS OR ENEMY. ONLY PERMANENT INTEREST.

God bless you. With that kind of attire, he just landed in Australia and still in awe of a country where things work.
Many did more than this for a woman and Na sorry be their name. They are stuff of ridicule as we speak.

He should enjoy return on his investment. Not everyone gets to do so.

rentAcock:
Sad. Another one who has chosen to flee instead of fight.
Another Ivy league educated scholar who could change Nigeria for the better has decided to switch sides.
This is very sad, she will be remembered as a loser
She gave up because she lacks foresight

Me and my household will never flee or beg the white man for visa, greencard or citizenship. We will continue to fight and do all we can for the betterment of this country.

Well, she came to help twice. Negotiated cancellation of our debt. Yet, the hatred for Jonathan who believe they own the cesspit of Lord Lugard, was extended to her.

Don't be a hypocritical hater. If you even smell a Western passport, you will trace the smell like a rat for miles to search for it.

You do not beg for Western passports. If you have earned it with good behavior, you apply and you get it. No bribery, no corruption, no nepotism or tribalism.

Many of us holders of one, two or three foreign citizenships. And you travel worldwide with far more dignity. Kiss the truth.
Dr NOI even tried to have waited for so long. I never waited that long.

All those your political misleaders you defend on NL, their kids and grandkids are already foreign citizens. If 9ja scatters today they have no care in the in the world. Their kids and money are abroad.

Be dulling there.

A man came beside my shop to greet his friends with this hanging on his shoulder,is this what is called a monitor lizard?is it also a pet?it was alive.Are monitor lizard dangerous?

It can be as long as 3 meters. Especially Komodo dragon.
There are several species. I have seen slightly bigger ones than that in the picture.

Uselu is in many Yoruba towns always the oldest part of town.
I can mention ten towns in south west that has Uselu or Iselu.
Is purely Yoruba thing not a family name thing.

Just like Oba's market is everywhere in Yoruba towns according to Oba traditions.

I doubt it if you ever stepped in Owo cause you won't have talk like this.

My brother read. I said my family has a street named after it within Uselu area. Please read b4 you reply. Do not be in a hurry.

Well, I have pictures I took with those old cars within Ologho Palace. The limousine Mercedes and the Rolls Royce used by Olowo Olateru Olagbegi II before his deposition. The pictures are less than 2 years old. I can even briefly put them up for you to see. I took those pics because I like classic cars and was wondering what restoring them would cost.

If you actually go to that Palace, you will know where those dilapidated old cars are parked not far from the market in the Palace.

That many cultures have oja Oba, Ekioba or whatever local version is common knowledge.

Onijagidijagan:
Wait when we mention Benin in Yorubaland we see them as part of our people. Many Yoruba today thinks Benin language is Yoruba language (misconception though).
Owo and Benin are neighbors so there has to be similarities. Both kingdoms royal looks like Ife

In Owo we have Uselu (Center of a town) Ugbowo etc all this are related to (Obaship monarch they have in common) but Ife set the pace for them all.

You write based on knowledge from one side. I write based on looking from both sides.

A street in Uselu in Owo bears my family name.

Uselu in Benin was a village outside the wall of Benin City in ancient times. It was not part of Benin.

It's now a suburb of Benin City. In fact not distinguishable from Benin City anymore.

As for Ugbowo that borders Uselu (even farther from Benin), I have a family history with it that I'd narrate another day. The name already hints at it.

Onijagidijagan:
Why won't royal practice resemble when they're from a source..they both look like Ife not Igodomigodo

Wrong. Similarity is not due to any Ife.

There is still a video on YouTube when an Iloro chief highlighted the unique similarity of Owo and Benin monarchies. Owo being quite different other Yoruba practices. It was either during Igogo or coronation of Ologho Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye.

I may be thousands of miles away but I still follow things by any means carefully.

Onijagidijagan:
Who in the south west that will believe that? Ordinary Akure is more than 800years.
Is an insult for you to say Ife kingdom is 800 years.
Is more than 8000 years. Do u know it is believed the world started from Ife? Is the world 800years old?
The eastern Yoruba your partly from are new settlement that could be 800 years old.
Have u ever hear Past Oba of Benin in dispute with Ooni? Never. If river forgets its source it will dry.
if Oba of Benin palace should insult Oyo kingdom or Ooni of Ife, he will be shown his source. Many more secrets the world does not know now will be unraveled to the Edos and the Oba of Benin.
A reasonable Oba of Benin that will reunite with the Source will emerge in the future.

Our history ain't fraud and ain't myth but the fact

I have no time to go through your post.

All I can say is that it's Yoruba writers saying Oduduwa Descended from mountain, from heaven, flew from Middle East 800 years ago.
And all Yoruba's descend from him. So it's those people rubbishing history by themselves.

By the way they claim Oranmiyan left Benin to found Oyo empire. In a hurried attempt to make Oduduwa a unifying figure for Yoruba by Ajayi Crowther and Samuel Johnson, they created a story that has taken many twists since.

Even Ooni of Ife and Olugbo could not agree on Oduduwa.

Individual Yoruba belief is cool but what is the official story?

I have written years ago here that it's a shame for Yoruba to claim 800 years since Oduduwa as Yoruba progenitor. We have been on this for years.

revolt:
men get the fck outta here

You even have a picture on your profile and you are this rude little boy.

Be very very careful. Don't mess with people anyhow. My sincere advice to you. Good luck.

Onijagidijagan:
You're not from Owo. Owo was never under Benin.
We've invaded Benin in the past and won several wars with Benin..Owo was never defeated. I will need you to tell me the truth where you are truly from.
I'm more related to Ogunoye. A past Oba of Benin once led war to Owo and was defeated in which the Oba of Benin was killed. We have it in our history only not published on the Internet.

We don't pay unnecessary tribute to Benin we both respect ourselves.

Also Owo Oba migrated from Ife and there's no dispute about that but a fact.

Ife is more than 5000 years old and more than 50 kings (Obas) has ruled the kingdom before Oduduwa but their names lost in the history. Ooni
of Ife dynasty started with Oduduwa and one of his grandchildren founded Owo.

There is no such thing like Ekaladeran. Don't Even say it in front of any Yoruba, Itsekiri, Igala, Ijebu etc.
Ekaladeran was fabricated by Oba's palace less than 200 years ago.
Even the Ogiemien( the aborigines of Benin) no isn't the truth.

Wishy washy submission. More related to Ogunoye just because Olowo Ogunoye is currently ruling.

When did first Olowo came to Owo? What was his name?
Nobody can tell the story like a person who spans both cultures. The most objective.

Let us assume that first Olowo came from Ife, what about the ordinary Owo people? They also descend from Ododuwa?
Our people from SW still insist Oduduwa lived about 800 years ago. And claim his kids and grandkids began all the Yoruba kingdoms. So Yoruba historians have not explained how all YOrubas descend from Oduduwa.

People can be intolerant due to ethnic pride if they lioe. So whether Ijebu or Igala want to hear or do not want to hear is not my business. The empirical evidence is more important.

Boko Haram do not want to hear about people of all religions living happily together. But it does not mean their ideology is right.
Your corner side history has no relevance. It's a myth. I am partly a product of Benin campaign in Eastern Yorubaland.

Does it not surprise you how Owo royal practices closely resemble Benin monarch's?
If you were any close to the royal house as you claim, you will know.

StarFlux:
The thing with Yoruba numbers is that they have different forms.

For example one: oókan. If you want to say a or one trader (noun modifier) you will say: oníṣòwò kan, not oníṣòwò oókan. Same with two (eéjì) turns to méjì, as in ilé méjì - two houses.

1. Oókan
2. Eéjì
3. Ẹẹ́ta
4. Ẹẹ́rin
5. Aárùnún
6. Ẹẹ́fà
7. Eéjè
8. Ẹẹ́jọ
9. Ẹẹ́sànán
10. Ẹẹ́wàá
11. Oókànlá
12. Eéjìlá
13. Ẹẹ́tàlá
14. Ẹẹ́rìnlá
15. Aárùnúndínlógún
16. Ẹẹ́rìndínlógún
17. Ẹẹ́tàdínlógún
18. Eéjìdínlógún
19. Oókandínlógún
20. Ogún
21. Oókanlélógún
22. Eéjìlélógún
23. Ẹẹ́tálélógún
24. Ẹẹ́rìnlélógún
25. Aárùndínlọ́gbọ̀n

Etc, etc.

100. Ọgọ́rùn
200. Igba
300. Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún
400. Irinwó
500. Ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta

Etc, etc. But these are the traditional numbers.
There is a simplified system for all numbers, as I will show here with thousands (ẹgbẹ̀rún or ọ̀kẹ́

1000. Ẹgbẹ̀rún
2000. Ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì
3000. Ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta
4000. Ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́rin

100 000. Àpò ọ̀kẹ́

I'm sure you will see the logic. Using traditional numbers, it would be very hard to follow once you get really high.

1 million: Òdù kan
10 million: Ìdì òdù
1 billion: Èèrú kan
1 trillion: Ọ̀kẹ́/ẹgbẹ̀rún èèrú kan

Etc, etc.

Hopefully I didn't write any of these wrong. Also, "p" is pronounced "kp", like in ìpínlẹ̀.

Good

StarFlux:
Yes, the numbers are not easy.

But you have simplified versions like this:

For example:

10. Ìdì kan
20. Ìdì méjì

23 now turns to ìdì méjì l'ẹ́ta.

Literally: ten times two plus 3. So they are much simpler, but it's good knowing both.

Copy of my post in another thread about colors: (I forgot the dots here though).

Yellow - àwò èsè
Orange - àwò osàn
Blue - àwò sánmà or àwò àyìnrín
Green: àwò ewé
Red: àwò pupa
Purple - àwò aró
Pink - àwò pupa fééré
Brown - àwò ara
White - àwò funfun
Black - àwò dúdú
Silver - àwò fàdákà
Gray - àwò eérú
Gold - àwò wúrà

Nice.

You will be the first person on earth I will hear Benin and Ife never happened.

If with your attached historical account written by a white man, he clearly stated that Oba eweka came from Ife.

Everyone agreed The first Oba of Benin came from Ile-Ife.

Oba Ewuare( the second) during his coronation said he's the son of Oduduwa (he knows what he meant by the statement)
The Ogisos of Benin that said Oba came from Ife are not Foolish.

I'm from Owo, Oba Ewuare1 of Benin was killed during a war with Owo I guess that's the relationship you're talking about.

Oh boy you can lie. You are not from Owo. Maybe an immigrant to Owo. Tell me your lineage in Owo: Iloro, Ojomo Oluda, Ologho (Ogunoye, Ajike, Olateru-Olagbegi) or which quarter?

Everyone claims Ewuare I died fighting them: Anioma, Esan and poorly informed Owo people. Benin and Owo made peace long ago. Despite Benin winning, Owo remained very independent. Benin immigrants moved in large numbers peacefully to Owo area. By the reign of Oba Ozolua (from about 1483) Such as Upele/Ipele near Owo. The warrior that died fighting in Owo was Iken, leader at Uselu (a village near Benin in those days).

No Oma Ologho will spew nonsense and lie so effortlessly like you.

You know everybody in Yorubaland is claiming descent from Oduduwa since it became politically trendy to do so. A big lie. Oduduwa supposedly lived 800 years ago. Yorubaland is way older. Benin/Igodo was already well-established by 40BC. I don't expect Yoruba race to be much younger than that. I doubt even if Ojugbelu Arere came from Ife.

Oduduwa story has many versions. Ekaladerhan from Igodo, from Yemen, Egypt, Saudi, Nubia, Israel, etc. All cannot be correct. These are probably mythical stories that sprang up at various times. Eventually coalescing. They were probaly about different people previously.

Even Olugbo of Ugbo casts serious doubt on the Yoruba version.

Many players Na simp these days. You get a drubbing from another club you are doing cry baby running away.

Players play the game on the pitch. They should be man enough to take it on the chin like they put over bloated wages into their pockets.

"Splitting Nigeria" will not solve anything

The underlying problem is still gonna be there

It's that underlying problem we need to deal with

Well, at least religious and ethnic issues will be much reduced. Each will figure out how to tackle corruption and poverty. Chances of succeeding are bigger in more homogeneous countries.

oluwasegun007:
I remember my dear friend ghadaffi.

He suggested the splitting, but people criticized him.

Imagine professionals like lawyers

You know we like to wallow in hypocrisy.

Nothing unites Nigerians. Okocha's dribbling or winning junior FIFA World Cup is not enough.

We all need to face reality. The sooner the split, the better.
