The question now is with all these trainings and exercises we see in pictures about our military in training,how come they keep running away from boko haram fighters when they strike ?

when was the last time you heard this? It happened under GEJ and that was because they were poorly armed.

jumobi1:
I just know he was appointed Ambassador to Italy by PDP.

I think, close to oshomole's re-election, there was an oba son in his government that decamped then and the oba was not happy.

jumobi1:
The Oba is more of a PDP guy though.

was he the one that left oshomhole's government at some point?

sweerychick:
this is the cutest for me , dark and handsome.. I love dark men , don't really like light skinned.

I like dark chicks too. Are you dark?

Sequel to this thread by Eronx https://www.nairaland.com/3424166/nigerian-pastors-dress-simple-church and some comments therein , I want to know how a pastor should dress.



Did Jesus wear suit or even went to church? I want to know why a decently dressed pastor is seen as not being properly dressed because he's on shirt and Jean, and not some flashy suit that's consangnuous to Nigerian pastors.

Sealeddeal:
Is his statement not against military rule?

Onyenna:

she's more like a guy.

‘I will like to thank God for this precious talent, and my lovely wife. It’s been a fantastic year for me winning the Olympics.

I got confused here. I saw a "lesbian"in the title and "my lovely wife". So they address their female partners as "wives"? This world should come to an end real quick.

Girls from the east!


When we don't allow our girls to do these pageantry things, they call us names. I'm sure the organizers of this pageantry are the ones making this things up so they have your unalloyed loyalty even after you must have won the crown- they keep this to use as blackmail object.




Who's the other ugly girl she was in the act with in that video?

TheFreeOne:
That's why every well-meaning Nigerians must speak out against the injustice being mete out to Shiites.

But the painful part is that influential Nigerians have kept quiet and allow the killings to continue. It's just damn crazy.

I just don't understand again. Isn't this some conspiracy or something? May God help us!

hanity:
Same here.

the asinine thought he could sway voters with that hogwash, but it failed. Now we know who won the GOP primary.

EliseFox:
Looking for guys who can embarrass me with their bigger dick.

guy , quit it!

Papikush:
If no body is going to say it, I will. This religion is just confusing man!

If a guy owns two girlfriends people will blame and accuse him of being a cheat/player but here comes the religion that permits a man to own more than a wife. I mean legally married to more than just one and everybody is cool with that?

Well I aiint getting fooled by nobody

what's your point?

unclezuma:
Nah me no see well...Was that a military cameraman abi nah forest coloured ashuebi that guy with tripod dey wear so?

RIP my guy next time look before you begin speed...

na military uniform. I checked.

nelronaldo:
No one is saying the throne isn't linked to Yoruba.. we are only saying Ekaladeran Izoduwa (Oduduwa) was a prince before he left for Ile Ife (Where the dull people believe he fell down from heaven). The Bini's sent for him when we had no ruler and he sent his son Oranmiyan.
Our point is your Oduduwa didn't fall from heaven (even Jesus Christ didn't fall from heaven).
Using common sense, the Yoruba's didn't conquer the Benin Kingdom and then impose a king on us, we requested for Oduduwa, we wouldn't do such if he had no relationship to the throne.
Like the Oba said, we can't force you guys to believe Oduduwa was from Benin.

I see.

AreaFada2:
Funny guy. You too fear.

What you may not know is that, Etsako, Yoruba, Igbo, Urhobo, Izon and others have held & hold important positions in Benin.
Including two Ado-Akure & one prince of Brass as Chief Iyase (non-hereditary traditional prime minister & second in command to Oba) in the last 300 years.
The current Iyase of Benin is of Urhobo heritage. Benin Kingdom as a former empire is not actually a tribal thing. It is more of shared culture, headed by the Oba. Many non-Benin people erroneously see themselves as strangers whereas historically, they cannot be considered strangers.

It would be very funny for an Etsako person to call himself a stranger in Benin. Because Oba Ozolua, in appreciation of Etsako people's immense contribution to defend the empire again Idah people, he prolaimed every freeborn Etsako person as a prince & princess of the empire. That proclamation was never repealed. In theory, there's hardly any position in military command or any vacant non-hereditary chieftaincy to which the Oba could not appoint them. He could even specially create new ones for them. They became the Royal Guild of Dental Surgeons (or Osakon) from which Etsako name came. Urhobo/Isoko have a special place too. Ignorance of history is our major problem.

Myths needs to be busted especially in the 21st century that logic prevails.

The holding of hands is an ancient demonstration of support.
Basically saying, the work of obaship is not something to be left to the oba alone. The people are with him.

An ancient Oba once invited all Benin people to symbolically share his obaship.

The Benin morning greeting "Obowie, Obavan, Obota" for good morning/afternoon/evening" came from there. To remind all citizens at any time of the day that they have a stake in his throne.

People often wonder why Benin people have such fierce loyalty towards the King. But it is actually easy to see why. Very many people emigrated from Benin to escape taxes, harsh rules imposed, war conscription, crisis, building an empire, defending it/winning & dying in wars & losing the empire in 1897. Those Benin people that did not emigrate were made of sterner stuff with much loyalty against all odds. They passed that loyalty to their descendants. And many Obas have symbolically shown appreciation to the people for it.

Take for example: the name Edo came from the name of a loyal servant. The servant notified Prince Ogun (later became Ewuare I The Great) of a betrayal that was almost certain to end his life. The servant was killed by Prince Ogun's enemies for doing so. As King, Ewuare Changed name of Benin to Edo to honour the servant.

spot-on!

A very educative post!
