And what greatness did you have before Oranmiyan and the obaship institution?
If truly you had greatness in your Ogiso era, why the immediate transition to Oba with a man coming from Ife? Think and stop fooling yourself!

there was greatness in igodomigodo. if you feel it's wrong take it up with the ancestors

DateMynd44:
what that guy said it's true, I just don't know why you're in sifia pains.
Edo people borrow their culture from both igbo and Yoruba.
Benin don't have a culture of there own.

Edo people have low self esteem. they respect and Adore yorubas a lot.
one even denied me her daughter to marry because I'm Calabar and went ahead and mentioned that it's only Yorubas whom Benin adore that will marry there daughter

because of a disappointment that's why ur writing trash. if you have nothing to contribute and no fact , why do u bother commenting.

Atigba:
We have no link with the Yoruba people, the only major tribe in Nigeria we shared the same ancestors is Igbo.

Benin has nothing in common with the Yorubas, except the Oba of benin who is a Yoruba citizen

wrong

Atigba:
Oduduwa is not from Igodomigodo, he is from Mecca who conquered Ife and later his grandson Orominyan brought war to Igodomigodo and conquered part of it that he names Ille Ibinu which the Portugueses turned to benin.

wrong

Atigba:
Stop writing nonsense here, Oduduwa is from Mecca

Your Oba of Benin is a descendant of Orominyan

Orominyan brought war to Benin around 12th century and conquered Benin

The story you propagate here is fake story written by Oba Erediawa for supremacy

.


nope. you are the one peddling lies. research, the Benin own history has been there before oba erediauwa ancesion

jneutron4000:
Madam, I dont understand why you take am personal, first understand the word Myth. You are telling the story as if you were dere. I guess Ogiso just appear without coming from somewhere. I dont care if Yoruba history and that of Edos might have crossed but with all sincerity in my heart I dont want Edo to be part if Yoruba. I want distinctive between Yoruba and Benin.

ask around the benins never claimed the ogisos appeared out of nowhere

Yomit71:
silly girl, which edo greatness are you talking of? is it in prostitution?
you guys should just be grateful because in the system of things you're just inferior.
see minority feeling pompous

minority? really? if not for some yoruba's who rewrite history to suit them u will not be saying such.

wifeesnatcher:
I watched the legislative mockery and I asked which developing country like ours will their Parliament will be on plenary and one of the lawmaker will stood up to talk about marriage that's not related to the screening of the ministerial nominees


festus keyamo made today screening so interesting with his brilliant disposition Nigeria supreme court is the busiest supreme court in the world, if I'm given the position of AGF my first task would be dissolving the supreme into regions


Fmr AGF, and fmr min of state health Dr Osagie all tried. all the rest just yarn history and story especially minister nominee from sokoto

.



that one from sokoto that was greeting people as if he was there to receive an award

thesicilian:
Nigerians embarrassing us at the highest level. A government that is truly serious with fighting corruption would have removed him as NFF chairman long ago.

FIFA does not tolerate interference by governments in the affairs of FFs/FAs

looks like a robot

osazsky:
u have not been to Benin,no wonder,,,,,,

u really are a joker. I live in Benin, am a Benin . that's why I laugh at u ignorant ones who are trying to play the tribal card. if obaseki continues this way people will start likening him to _ _ _ _. continue to kpe e ye ewowo.

osazsky:
show me ur evidence,I wasnt paid,I was there and I didn't see any agent that approached me

.

was it a one man rally. u weren't paid does not mean that others were not paid.

osazsky:
minority na minority, edo belongs to Benin read ur history books .do u know that d urhobos are more than d hausa in nigeria.i will not leave my bro and vote for an infidel who we gave land to,or drove from Benin to d forest God forbid

let me point out something funny. you do know that most of our Benin brethren like to travel. if u turn it into a tribal affair, the esans and the edo north present an esan man to correct the imbalance. that man might just win. what with the population of other tribes and the dwindling of the benins due to migration.

osazsky:
I wasnt paid ,am a civil servant and it wasnt a campaign just a show of appreciation, I loved d turn out,imagine wat d campaign would look like,,,,I was there life,,,at least my salary comes every 27th unlike d fool dat owned iz 19months and still set up monitoring team to monitor those that came late to work,obaseki has cleared d arreas

people know that the rally of today was paid. even if it was not
1. the perception out there is that it was paid- that's a very deadly weapon against obaseki. it shows he is not so different from the politicians he is so much against.
2. it was an unnecessary show of ego. now he would hardly have the widespread sympathy of an underdog.
3. this is because of the reps delegation
4. was the event organised for free? that show he spent money on it. money which he claims is scarce and should not be wasted.

for me obaseki might be trying in some areas but he has failed in his promises at the debate - lga autonomy, continuity of Oshiomole's projects(the main premise on which he was elected) and security.

Jorussia:
It's all about money and ego.Personally,i don't like some of the decisions of governor with regard to governance in the state.Forexample,i think the governor messed up concerning college of Education Ekiadolor and College of Agriculture Iguoriakhi.It is wrong for the governor shut down the college of Agriculture for about two years now for a purported renovation that we can not see.I am a Bini man from Edo South and i believe that there is no excuse that Ekiadolor has not been given a remarkable facelift since it became a university of Education.If Adams Oshiomhole can build a standard university in his community under 2years what is stopping obaseki from doing same in Edo South?

gbam. most people don't see taht. take it or leave it oshiomole tried for his senatorial zone. I expected obaseki to bring online the well renowned ogbe hard court. that was an event bringing serious revenue to edo State and edo south in particular. the motor park has been butterflied away. most people don't understand that this spat is about ego.

efilefun:
Most comments above sound like paid influencers... Imagine someone saying obaseke for president... LMAO i laugh in Portuguese

the stadium wey me dey see when I pass stadium road looks different. abeg make una shift with una paid work. man wey shut down all state owned higher institutions of learning for edo south na that wan be technocrat.

babyfaceafrica:
but the Benin language is different from ishan ?

nope. just different vowel sounds. a person with the ability to speak Benin can passably understand esan and vice versa. just like ado akure(usen)

yo are a Tanzanian yet you are quick to point out that he is igbo. mtcheew go and sleep abeg. nonsense and ingredients

:oso yoou dey even thief other people ticket. nor be don simeon ticket be that first ticket wey u dey show as ur own. oya come make i give u sure 7 odds sice u don start to dey thief ticket.

ThePreachersSon:
Jonathan your ex Presido sold off everything. Both the generators and distributors are private entities. So Government has no business with electricity. The most they can do is to regulate.

Well, Obaseki has partnered with some investors, so in no distant future Edo would generate its own electricity and put the Benin disco out of business IF ALL GOES WELL

power plant wey suppose to Don dey offline since last year. the neighbouring communities neva even see light talkless of edo State. hmmm nor be Oshiomole get the idea of the plant

Donmedra:
1) obaseki took the loan for the port because it was necessary. The work on the port will start on 2020 and end 2022, it's compulsory Edo state have a port.

2)the water storm project is oshiomole idea, he borrowed the money and stole it without doing any work.

I don't listen to rumours and gossips, oshiomhole was the one that put Edo state in debt and stole the money meant for work

and obaseki aided and abetted him. fact find and you will see that I am starting a fact and not rumor. it's compulsory for edo State to have a port? oga don't make me laugh. there are other compulsory needs of edo State at this present time than a port. infact what stopped him from upgrading siluko river port if it was so compulsory. You seem to have selective memory or want to deliberately gloss up the fact that obaseki was a very key figure in oshiomole cabinet or was he not the head of the economic team. who if not the head of the economic team would propose the economic viability of a storm water system. I laugh at you all obaseki is oshiomole and oshiomole is obaseki. oga obaseki mouthpiece you seem not to have answers to my other questions.

Donmedra:
the best part of it all is that obaseki isn't borrowing any money to do these projects.

If it wasn't for oshiomole that put Edo state in debt, Edo would have been better

tah!!! stop that fucking lie there. no be obaseki borrow over $ 300 million for Benin river port. nor be him carry edo State from 5th abi 4th most indebted state to 2nd. nor be obaseki firm be the consultant wey source for that storm water loan and him company carry 10% wey amount to over $10 million as their consultant fee. bia be careful the only reason wey me be like am b4 na because say him drive cda and agbero but that one nor mean say I dey blind to him very big faults. wey the sobe farm and farm settlements, wey the ancor borrower money, what about the film trick wey him and oshiomole play ontop farmers head in 2016-2017, wey the motor park, wey the broadband, what about the rumor say na him make adjoto and that other house of assembly pass that law for BEDC. oga take time o

Homeboiy:
Ah BEDC una too much
18hours uninterrupted light

Everyday

I believe say na oba handwork

What is the meaning of Okoro?

If you can answer the question then I will reply you politely, if not you must take back that word "blanket".

Mr Agidigbi:

You guys will not just let this Edo-OKORO go on sabbathical, eh? You have written the correct history of Okoro and how it got to Ibo land and other lands. It merely shows the power and the influence of the ancient Benin Empire, in what is today called southern Nigeria and West Africa.


OKORO is an Edo word for PRINCE. Among the royal family, we seldom call ourselves our first names. The older ones simply call the younger ones, Okoro. The same goes for those within the same age group. Any time I call on my cousins or brothers, I simply say O.K, shortened for Okoro. My mother never called me by my first name before she died. It was always Okoro. When I call on older members of the family in Benin, from my hideout in America, they simply call me Okoro. An Edo man living in and around Benin knows that an Edo Prince is called Okoro. Even as a teenager roaming the corners of Edo land looking for fun, ( in Esan land, Afemai and Owan ), the older folks called me Okoro and not by my first name.

The seeming decline in the use of Okoro by Edo-speaking people in describing an Edo Prince came with western sophistication, especially among the youths. The appearance of Okoro in Ibo calendar, shows the level of the cultural domination that Benin had over neighbouring groups in those days. You need to go to AFIKPO in the Ibo land, to see the influence of Edo language on the Ibo people living in the area. You will be surprised to hear words like EWOBI-a fool/idiot, OFINGBO-palm oil, etc., rolling out of their mouths.

Greetings everybody

Okoro ( Ademola ) Iyi-Eweka.

answer my question first. You certainly do not have the right to say if a name is benin or not. i suppose you will also come to say oghene is not benin

Born2Breed:
The name sef fake nor be small.

PRINCE OKORO (pronounced Okoho )

No BENIN man bears such title as a name.

This is an OgionOba.

This is the era of Ogidigan 2, with the blood of Prince Ogun and Oba Ewaure flowing undiluted in his veins.

If you do anyhow, you go see anyhow.

so osadebamwen okoro no be benin man? na wah o!!! stop making blanket statement dem no go hear

Zombiekiller010:
We are waiting for the full gist, e be like say Timi Dakolo is already achieving what he wanted to achieve

Raping of a virgin that comes without shouting, screaming , rape that come with Krest ,rape without evidence , no body pain ,bruise,rape that occur more than twice ,in the accuser's fathers house and the accused house, rape that come with orgasm.

Some 17 year old girl are already in 2nd or 3rd year in higher institution, a 17 years old girl are been married or becoming a baby mama, how old is Regina when Ned started fucking her. Aisha is 19 years old when Buhari started fucking her ,85% of nigeria girls started having sex at age 14 (As from JSS3 class) go to public sch and see how this small small girls flirt

Hypocrite everywhere, when will they gather to protest against killings and bad government we have today.

Bleep Timi and Busola Dakolo , Bleep the Yeye Pastor that cant stay faithful to his wife

my own 2kobo is that I believe there was a sexual relationship btw the pastor and the lady. but I have doubts that it was forced. some other ladies like ese Walters and the likes have accused him of being Randy . rape and consensual sex are miles apart.

but protesters una self no dey go church?!??!!

INDUSTRIALFAN:
and he is continuing from there. Where I live I know how many times we complained and we kept hearing we re coming finally, Obaseki came in and virtually all roads re being worked on. Na step by step. It is not easy to build stretch of roads in numerous places simultaneously. He has said they'll tackle the flood issues and I know he will. Yes Oshiomole tried and I commend him but he should quit acting godfather. It is one of the things that kills the country so if Edo doesn't want it, it should stop.

yea obaseki is trying a little bit. but for my side e put promise fufilled billboard when them neva do anything

INDUSTRIALFAN:
can you shut up? If oshiomole and his predecessors had don't their jobs and governors, would people have this flooding issue? Obaseki is the first governor to have done anything major for Edo people and he has said work will begin on drainages and we believe him because he is a man of his words. Bite hands that fed him indeed... Rubbish.... Is the office of the governor his property? It is the right of people above a certain age to contest for the seat and Obaseki did so and won. Go tell your oshiomole make he go baff.... Him yeye de smell everywhere.

oga if u dey forget good things easily God no go allow good things come near person again. talk true if no be Oshiomole this rain matter for worse pass this one u no the truth and I no am. edo no get any infrastructure for ground, Oshiomole start from near zero. we expect obaseki to continue from there.

KendrickAyomide:
Everybody for Benin know say Uppermission na Erosion Area na, people abandon their properties in that area . Am sorry for your loss. You played yourself.

With the rain today, even sapele road was nothing to write home about.

I think say na me get agidi wen I pass am about 2-3wks ago. na there my car dey flooded an e be wan off. na only baba God carry me from there. All these useless peeps wey go dey build house for drainage way na him cause dis wan. na by force to build house for Benin. proper. go outskirts go build nor come cause common man heartache.

rusher14:
People blame government got poor town planning, yet it is the people who also compromise government officials with bribe.

Same society in which people condemn government for marking out houses to be demolished for failure to adhere to regulations.

Nigeria is made up of complex individuals.

,in benin for example the association of town planners have been crying out on radio about people building hoses of natural drainage sites like aasoro and ogba waterside. do people hear? not all . they even build houses on the moats after sandfilling it. may God help us and RIP to the dead
