Why is the Christian body of Nigeria so passive, can't they protest the gruesome murders or is it only money they love, they don't love their sheep...this is shameful...or is the Christian body not mature enough to forge a common front and fight for their common rights and causes...In America,UK the church is very active but here so passive, just to collect money, and they can't use the money to protect christians.

Let them go to their states and countries so their governors will give them job...they were not invited here, 90% of Okada men are not Lagosians...the state government must remove all those urchins from Lagos, or build big prison for them, from the prison they process them out of the state.

Anyways jagaban has the best chance for the south, though I like Peter Obi, but Tinubu has more chances of getting more northern votes, because of his clouth with Northern slave master's, and controllers of their zombies.

They are right on this, the South only need to mobilize one million men with automatic guns, we will chase all fulanis from our land. Fulanis are the problem, they invite thier Sahel brothers from Chad, Niger, Mali to come kill, steal and rob us, it's part of their jihad.

quote author=revolt post=113546516]bow come its only African empires that fell within a week with less than 200 men. The so called bronze heads haven't been replicated 100 years later. I remember going to India and every nook and cranny has the Buddha heads plus all other artifacts as attributed to their history. Benin bronze head has no other replica and even till this day they find it difficult to replicate any of those so called wonders lol.. I can imagine how the Portuguese would come down to the Benin hots and rub their egos by claiming awe just to go back to their well developed empire and laff at the bush people that had never seen a mirror.... beat that. That's why till this day they come doing the same to our jokers that make helicopters that dont fly and say woooowww... just to go back and laff at these monkeys lol..[/quote]Am sure you are from a place with no greatness or documented glorious past...sorry slave, we are not same. We know the great African tribes in history. Ashanti, Benin empire, Timbuktu, nok, etc.
Jealousy is bad for your mental health. The testament was written by Portuguese...your people were our slaves then, sorry we ain't same.

Lol...I guess the so called moats may hve been built by the Portuguese cos last time I checked the so called Benin emperor was walking half naked and living in thatch raffs. Oh the empire fell in less than a week to a hundred men with rifles... we shouldn't be disgracing ourselves by claiming those were empires.. the northern empires were far more developed than the so called southern ones...lol
You seem to be a fool, the Portuguese documented it, they came and saw it there. You are so dumb, like your dumb father, otherwise you can ask him about history. The other states fell within days, British gun powder and canons was their advantage. You idiots forget that the British choose to focus on building weapons of war, because of their sinister agendas. But you slaves can not know history.

"The Benin Moat (Iya in the local language) was built as a defensive fortification around Benin City in the great Kingdom during the time it was at its height and when the kingdom engaged in many wars.

Quick facts:
The Benin walls consisted of a combination of ramparts and moats.
The ramparts ranged in size from shallow traces to gigantic 20-meter-high (66 feet) around Benin City.
It covered a border distance of 16,000km.
It enclosed 6500km² of community land.
Its construction is estimated to have started as early as 800AD.
It was finally completed around 1460AD.
It provided a defensive barrier against invaders.
Shortly after the wall and the ditch were completed, the Portuguese visited Benin in 1472 AD.
At that time, it was considered the world's largest earthwork. European visitors travel notes described the Great wall of Benin e.g. Dapper 1668.
The Guinness Book of World Records (1974) describes the walls of Benin City as the world's second largest man-made structure after China's Great Wall,
in terms of length, and the series of earthen ramparts as the most extensive earthwork in the world.
Fred Pearce wrote in New Scientist:
They extend for some 16,000 kilometres in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They cover 6,500 square kilometres and were all dug by the Edo people. In all, they are four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet.

Considered one of the great wonders of the world, the walls were built of a ditch and dike structure. The ditch was dug to form an inner moat and the excavated earth from this was used to construct the external rampart. Its construction method predates the use of modern earth-moving equipment or technology.

Oba Oguola (1280 – 1295) completed the 1st and the 2nd moats. He decreed construction of 20 smaller moats around other important towns and villages to protect them against invaders.
In the 15th century during the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great (1440 -1473) an extension of the moat which was about 3200km was constructed. This fortified bastion allowed entry to the city from nine gates to be controlled. At night the gates were locked.

Defensive features
As lines of defence, the moats were heavily guarded around the clock. They stopped invaders as they could be seen whilst trying to get through and were killed or captured by the Benin soldiers guarding the gates and walls.

The ramparts which were steep banks of earth stopped invaders climbing over them as they could be buried in sand avalanche and sand on their weapons could disable them.

The high walls made it difficult for attackers and invaders to climb over. Invaders trying to climb the walls were good targets for the Benin soldiers’ spears and poisoned arrows.

The outer walls which were very high provided a thick shield around the city. Their nine gates restricted access to the city"

The Benin moat came to mind too, but being a civilized culture for millennials before the rise of the British empire, they obviously could have used wheel and pulley system, to place the big rocks that created the moat.

Everyone should stay in his state and zone, since they like sharia law and living in religious extremism, let those unlearned Northern Almajiris stay in the North, all those beggars should be removed from Lagos to the North, they are a ticking time bomb, if those beggars grow up with no training and wherewithal they will turn to criminals or work with extremists to wreck havoc in Lagos. Lagos is an international city, extremists bring in terrorists, we should start raiding all those beggars in Ikeja, Lekki, Jakande etc, Lekki epe expressway.
