The Op is very funny. Billionaires in naira I agree not in dollars.

No mercy!!!

Amaechi2023:
its obvious Orton is after money and not Benue state.
so the 100billion is worth more than the crisis happening in Benue state if I may say..
so in essence, you'll happily agree to ranching in Benue state should the presidency approve the 100billion.
all your heavy wailing was not for your peoples life but rather for the money.

I've always known your antics when I realised how good you are in publicizing the killings in your state but slow in displaying your incompetence in managing your state.
other middlebelt state are affected by herdsmen and farmers crisis but compare your stupid self to yahaya bellow of kogi? or to lalong of plateau or even abdulahi sule of nasarawa..
the difference between you and these men is that they are more concerned about avoiding a repeat of crisis while you were concerned about public sympathy and helplessness.
if there were no presidency, how would you have managed Benue state? who would you blame or cry to?
previously in terms of under development. kogi used to be is same level with Benue but now kogi has soared better while your Benue keeps raising paedopiles and IDP camps.
rubbish governor.

You should be ashamed of yourself for this epistle laced with so much prejudice.

Well, some mothers do have them.

See names

Mad oooooh

May his soul rest in peace.

Btw, it's Sound not South.

Avoidable death.

DeFuturePresido:
The crux of the disagreement is this: Who should rightfully take custody of these artefacts? To answer the question, let us take two approaches:

1. Who was the original owner of these artefacts, and who, today, physically embodies that person?

2. Who has the greatest capacity to preserve these artefacts for the greater good of the largest number of people and for posterity? Is it
A. The Benin Royal Palace,
B. A privately managed Museum Trust,
C. The Edo State Government or
D. The Federal Government of Nigeria?

ANSWERS
1. The rightful original "owner" or custodian was Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi, who was deposed during the British "punitive expedition" of 9 - 17 Feb 1897, which was led by Rear-Admiral Harry Rawson, and which led to sacking of the Benin empire.

The person that, today, physically embodies Oba Ovonramwen is (unequivocally) the current ruler of Benin Kingdom, Oba Eheneden Erediauwa Ewuare II.

2. The answer to who can best manage the artefacts, unfortunately, is not straightforward. Technically, it should be the Federal or State government. However, you only need to pay a visit to Federal and State museums, libraries, or monuments across the country to understand that good management and maintenance is not a strong point of government in these parts.

That leaves us with The Royal Palace or The Private Trust.

I incline to suggest a merger of the two options:

A. The museum/cultural district should be built in the location chosen by the Oba of Benin.
B. The museum/cultural district should be managed by the Private Trust.
C. Oba Ewuare II should be made the Chairman of the Trust.
D. The CEO of the Trust should be a thoroughly seasoned professional and should be chosen via a merit-based selection process.
E. Members of the Trust Board should be drawn equally from nominees provided by the Benin Palace, the State Government, the Trust's Directors and the Federal Government.
F. All decisions should be made via simple majority votes.

I believe that this option will resolve the issue and provide the best solution.

I wish there was a double like icon.

You've said it all. We can't trust the government or the palace to manage it individually. It must be done the way you stated above.

I'm aware of several cases of stolen artefacts from the palace by some people I wouldn't like to mention their names or titles. Although many are dead now those artefacts are lost forever cos it was sold to private collectors from foreign countries.

Stop it you DOG!

Kai idrissu wan just kee himsef by himself.

Gambit23:
Anioma are IGBO people who were removed from their homeland and added to other regions in Nigeria.

Make a conscious effort to Avoid stupidity @ all costs.

Who did this to you?



Or is it a generational curse from your fathers or mothers side?

Zooposki:
When? And what part?

Don't waste your precious time with that ignorant b.uffon. He is confused and one shouldn't be surprised cos some mothers do have them.

These kids come online with so much ignorance that's infuriating.

There was never a time the Eastern region was ceded to the MidWest region. The anioma's of Delta were first in the Western and Midwestern region then Bendel and now in Edo and Delta.

Gambit23:
Nothing to read.

Ur stupidity has already been corrected, parts of IGBO land was removed from their home region and added to delta state.

Stop being a slowpoke in broad daylight

Keeps basking in the euphoria of your ignorance.

If your progenitors were too silly to educate you properly in the history of Anioma's in the Western and MidWestern region then Bendel and now Delta, do your offspring's the favour by breaking the yolk of stupidity.

May the souls of all our gallant soldiers fighting the battle they don't understand rest in peace and quick recovery to the injured.

Gambit23:
9 local govt areas in delta state belongs to IGBOs. IGBOs have more land and local govt areas that every other tribe kn delta state.

Wake up

Go back and read the comment I replied to slowly, perhaps although I doubt, you will be separated from stupidity.

Most of the lands were acquired illegally during Lucky "Thief" Igbinedion's tenure.

KEVIND:
North & South
Your fellow Southerner is in a position to give you employment.
You go to him for employment.

You speak good English and write an excellent application letter to impress him.

He tells you to bring your qualifications.

You bring your First Degree (First Class or second class).

He tells you to go and do your Masters and even PhD for you to get the job.

ON THE OTHER HAND

A Northerner is in a position to give employment.

An Hausa Man goes to him.

He speaks Hausa to him.

He tells him to bring his qualifications.

He brings a third class degree or an SSCE with two Credits.

He gets the job and saves money to further his education.

He gets a Masters Degree while doing the job.

Tomorrow, he is appointed as Executive Director.

Ten years Later, he becomes Chairman or DG of the Agency.

The Southerner sees this and hates on the Hausa Man.

He accuses him of nepotism.

But that's not nepotism.

That's communalism.

Southerners must understand the difference between nepotism and communalism.

Helping your Brother to succeed is not nepotism.

Southerners just need to learn how to love one another like Northerners do.

Stop hiding opportunities from your people.

Northerners do not hide opportunities from their people.

The south appoints based on merit but the north based on nepotism

Unqualified engineers everywhere.

One was bragging some years ago that he was a building engineer until his poorly constructed gutter in front of his house opened his yansh.

MejiLoyon:
If a group of lions is called a pride
And a group of monkeys is called a troop
Whats a group of weyreys called?

At least Igbos can trace their origin to Isreal but the real weyrey are still confused if they are from Mecca or Sudan or we're made by a man with a snail shell, sand and chicken.

Idia College was envy of other public all girls school those glory days.

This is what it has become, you can't blame these kids much.

Its the society they were born into.

Juliusmalema:
How is he wrong on Delta state?

This bot again!

If the north is still educationally disadvantaged after several decades then the north should have their country where they won't drag others backwards with their retrogressive eish.

Dymaco:
What Nigerians did to south east because of oil will never be forgotten. Many south eastern lands were merged to rivers state, cross river and delta. All these is to make sure that they suffer south east.
We have egbema rivers and egbema imo state. Same people, same community and land seceded to rivers because of oil well

You are right in almost all the claims of ceding S.E lands but wrong on Delta state.

Mama di mama

Someone wrote "the resources everyone invested in discovery crude oil" what a myopic comment from a buffoon.

Educate yourselves on crude oil discovery in Nigeria and you will be properly enlightened.

This girl is a liar. Her statements keeps changing like woman dey change sanitary pad.

These people are foolish. What's the duty of the security agencies?

See wickedness in lowest places.
