Bring prove any remains of past oba of Benin being buried in Ife or remain shut.

Just mention one example of a past oba of Benin whose remains is in Ife.

You will need to visit the palace to get a proof since I can't bring a grave on nairaland, but they are there in Ife palace .

XerXers:
A massive spillover of Onitsha expansion has swallowed Ogidi. Many towns are now part of the great Onitsha megacity
Meanwhile Obi of Onitsha is also Achebe, can anybody show us any Achebe from Benin?

Which other igbo king dress like Nnaemeka Achebe
And which other igbo king is called Obi.

My brother , history can be ugly atimes and we may even be ashamed of our past history
But the truth must be told no matter whose horse is gored .
Onitsha is more Benin than igbo.
Don't argue needlessly, do research and educate yourself.
No Yorubaman will argue with you that Benin own a part of Lagos Island , its a part of their history and they won't wish it away no matter how ugly it may sound to some people

Appletek:
This is serious.
Fubara must have a really stinky personality for Amaechi to sidestep him.

He was simply a nobody politically that is, until Wike have him the PDP governorship ticket and today he is rivers state governor.
Amaechi has his own candidate, of course SIM will stink to him

Arostar2023:
He that brought an ant infested gay into his home , has thrown an open invitation to lizards. That's an adage from the SE popularised by Chinua Achebe. When we were kids, we have always been told about how people from that "religion" love their families and would do anything to protect them. And we grew up believing that bullshit. But now we have seen how people deliberately put their families in harm's way and also use them as human shields. That's why the civilian casualties in Palestine is high. If that's not cowardice and wickedness on their part... I wonder what we would call that.

It was also Achebe that wrote that until the Animals have their own storytellers,the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
Until the Palestinians have Aljazeera and other news outlets that told their story different from what the Jewish controlled media has been dishing out, then the world began to see the Jews as who they really are.

Have you ever asked yourself, why did Europeans hate them so much that they have to expell them from Europe and that is after killing 2/3 of them?

So forget the support they are getting from Europe now,its born out of guilt
And the Europeans won't want a repeat of the Holocaust.

The foolish ones are the evangelicals, especially those from America, they are the reason there will never be peace in the middle east so long as they can prop up a Bibi every now and then. They mooted the idea of a state of Israel even before Theodore Herzl began his Zionists movement
And the reason is simple.
They believed for Christ to come back it will to Israel....... So a state of Israel must exist for Christ to come back and so when the chance came to create a homeland for the Jews, they quickly bought the idea and poured money into it.

So as Africans ,we are just pawns in the larger scheme of things like we have always been, sadly

IkeIgboNiile:
Lol.....well people can say whatever they like but it doesn't change the fact that after the Igbos left the benin kingdom became to decline or will history deny that igbos played a cruise role in the ile ife and benin Kingdom just like we continue to play till date.

Benin declined after igbos left or were driven away is debatable
The British expedition that destroyed Benin met a civilized society thats advanced in bronze works and carvings which they looted and some are just being returned after 200 years abroad ............maybe this will be the beginning of Benin renaissance.

The Ooni palace in Ife holds remains of past Oba of Benin.......... No single Ooni grave can be found in Benin. So the revisionists can go and rest, Benin (not igodomigodo) originated from Ife

MIKOLOWISKA:

who cares what he will say
Will it change anything
We've chosen to make excuses for our indolence

I perfectly align with you on this.
We have collectively chosen to make escuse for our indolence.
Everyone is a culprit. Both those that chose to speak without acting and those that didn't speak up
Nobody should blame anyone or any party or any tribe , we are all collectively guilty of allowing the country degenerate to this level because of our tribal and religious affiliations.

But the way forward is tough and rough, are Nigerians ready to go through this willingly or unwillingly ? Only time will tell

Zwooks:
Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whoesale price at my base



If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption

Cassave takes average 18 months to maturity
Wetin dem go dey eat before cassava mature ?

But I get your point.

Most Nigerians are not research minded and are actually lazy both in thoughts and actions

Most Nigerians should better get it that tough times will always be with us , its always been there just that we forget about it the moment we get a little comfort but they are always there, and most times are caused by factors beyond our control like the Ukraine war or the Israeli Palestinian conflict..... Do you know the world is yet to recover after the disruptions caused by COVID 19?

So the smart ones instead of bitching around look for opportunities to explore and adopt coping mechanisms

Have we forgotten the saying that when the time gets tough the tough gets going.
The situation is made worst by the fact that opportunities are limited for the vast majority of Nigerians

IkeIgboNiile:
Difrent


You're wrong. Onicha was one of the founding members of ile ife. Even the oni confirmed that igbos helped form his kingdom.
Eze chima was a wealthy man whose family helped form ile and benin. They were igbos when they left ile ife and benin.

Interesting perspective, one just hearing.
History can be interesting
And ugly atimes , one of the ugly history is that the igbos were chased away or exiled from Benin due to bad behaviors like cannibalism.
Another said Eze chime left benin in anger over leadership tussle and left benin to form Onicha
While one suggest that igbos were a subjugated people who were mainly slaves to the Benin empire

[quote author=muhammaduyusufu post=130128581][/quote]This is why I laugh when igbos think they taunt yorubas with Lagos belonging to Edos
The part of Lagos Edo own is part of Lagos Island (not even all of Lagos Island )

Even though the influence of Eze Chima, the progenitor of igbos in Onitsha can't be washed away, the city dont belong to igbos alone as the influence of Edo cant also be wished away

jimetagambo:
I have always wondered why the Obi of Onitsha dresses as a SW king and not like other Igbo ezes. It's starting to make sense now.

The king looks more like a Benin palace chief than an igboman
And his title is Obi
While other igbos kings are known as Igwe. The heavy influence of Benin in Onitsha cannot be overlooked
But also we can't take away the fact of Exe Chima also being a founding member of Onitsha along with igalas.
Simply put Onitsha isn't igbo but benin

Ebibedike1:
Onitsha is not part of Biafra. Know this and know peace.
Oduduwa republic is actually bigger than you all know.,and we will claim and accommodate all of them

But Onitsha used to be the HQ of IPOB

EVEN PO SAID HE LIVES WITH THEM

Ekpenuwa:
Lol. 😆😆😆 Senior man u too funny
That's politics for you and beside this is also a propaganda I think so there's no conflict between THE BENIN TRADITIONAL COUNCIL AND THE STATE GOVERNMENT
keep it in mind.....

So why is the government looking for resolution if theres no conflict?
The BTC already warned Obaseki and you his supporters that this cannot be referred to simply as a family affair, it isn't
It's clearly a case of Obaseki overstepping his bounds .

Events coming out of Kano should be a lesson to you, it followed similar patterns in places where executives have interfered with the workings of the traditional institutions , like Oyo state

Una still dey do Edo no be Lagos
Abi
Na Edo be Obidients HQ

Yeye

Smithkafors:
Your guys problem is that you feel everything is about politics.

Isn't that you peoples problem too

Hypocrite

You people want to play politics with everything but the moment other begin to play it the way you are playing it , you begin to cry
As if we dey fear una

Before you come up with Stoopid questions.... questions like what has presidency benefited your region ?
It has a lot of benefits if not the whole igbos nation won't be blackmailing everyone to vote PO, you would be comfortable making huge profits from your businesses and having the highest standard of living

Sirianese:
If dem born ya family well, go and touch him, you this son of a jackal

Who wan touch plague

It stinks, na to do Ben Johnson o

Umunzeorumba:
Today in Nigeria who are the Almajiris,terrorists,illiterates,beggers all over the nations.Also which region has the highest numbers of mud houses and brown roofs in Nigeria.Which tribe control major markets outside there region e.g Alaba,computer village Ikeja,Ladipo,electronic market iwo road Ibadan,Sabon gari Kano,Jos terminus market,Mile 1,2 and 3 markets Portharcourt etc.

If theres nothing there
Why did the whole igbo nation prop up PO and proceed to want to force us to vote for him.

Why didn't igbos just face their business and make huge profit and flaunt it in our faces (as usual) and keep calling us lazy and hungry if theres nothing there

Abegi, something dey

helinues:
You know, my curiosity about that your comments is if drug trafficking is now something justifiable

You even interjected whataboutism by mentioning Chinese, oh dear

Whataboutism is what they eat sleep drink and even copulate, you never know them.

I gave up on them when whenever violence happens in the east and we condemned, they quickly ask us to face our region , that northerners are killing northerners in the north and the government is not doing anything about it so igbos too should be killing themselves....... Still can't fathom how a people think like this...... They engage in self destruction so the president can be hurt in their shallow thinking

So sad the igbos have stoop this low

[quote author= post=130091975]

[b]Food for thought....
That is why we like taking criticism from sane people who have no political affiliation,

Cos even when some political rats as such as this makes good criticism, it will always be juxtaposed alongside their political inclination.

Over to the people.......[/quote]Because Osita made the comments as a politician NOT as an ordinary citizen he was answered by a political appointee .
The points made by Keyamo are valid too .... If Osita feel so strongly about what the Emirates did,...why has he not advised his Boss to divest from there? Na hypocrisy be that, what happens to leading by example

CodeTemplar:
what does the sham recognition change?

It further isolated you and your terrorists states of Israel and USA .

Until the Animals had their own storytellers, the story of the hunt always glorified the hunter. For decades the terrorist regime in Israel has gotten away with atrocities in Palestine because it control the media until the oppressed Palestinians got their own story in the media .
The whole world is not stupid to stand by and Israel get away with what its doing in Gaza in the name of self defense.

Israel is one of the places with the most cameras and up till now 7 months later it's unable to provide footages to prove it's allegations that Hamas raped and killed babies.....or that most people killed and held hostage are civilians. But surprisingly knew the number of Hamas terrorists it has killed but can't provide number of civilians killed.

It's just a matter of time before Joe and Bibi gets the isolation and disgrace they so much seek from the international community , just a matter of time

Emefiele already told us in February CBN is going ahead with its cashless policy and irrespective of the success or otherwise of the currency redesign, there will be less cash in circulation and they will encourage Nigerians to adopt cashless transactions.

This is the main reason

The other reason is that people no longer take money to banks because of their experience during the failed currency redesign

The third reason is that the nano banks and POS operators have been saving people the stress they normally go through in banks for a fee that could have been transportation if they go to bank, so most people simply go to them instead of the banks

aariwa:
A lot of monikers (4 that I know of could definitely be more) have come here to express that they were banned after quoting and insulting helinues for consistently posting tribal gas lighting posts on Nairaland unabated . I decided to engage in a social experiment and quoted him back for a gas lighting tribal post he made and true to what those people said was banned and it was a lengthy one. I realized I was either banned by the moderators or Seun himself. I started background checks and discovered that for Seun to ban you, you must have looked for his trouble by quoting or calling him out or trying to use Nairaland to promote out of normal ideology. I looked at Mynd44 and saw he is totally detached from what is happening in politics section and hardly posts except for neutral posts he finds necessary. I then moved to Fergie001 and found he likes posting and have struggled to mask his bitterness for Igbos and Obi since he became a moderator. I went further to 1 year looking at Fergie001 / helinues posts randomly till of recent and not only found photographic similarity between both monikers posts but made a discovery that made me create this post. He has a distinct way of making his posts I have never seen on Nairaland in the sense that he almost always never fails to separate his posts into three paragraphs and always makes sure the punctuation marks are never missing. My concern in this issue is why would a person use one moniker to make insult and gas light a tribe and then use an alternate moniker to hand them lengthy bans. Please Seun should investigate this deception because people like this have used a forum they never created to create a lot of hate , bitterness and tribal divisions among Nigerians online. People like that don’t know how to build but to destroy the sweat and hardwork of others through sowing of ethnic discord , incitement and bitterness

The problem with you igbo people is that you think others are fools
You want to insult them and don't want them to insult you back and if they do they become igbo hater.

The moment people begin to repay you back in your coins you begin to cry, Una never see anything

Lawag3:
I don't care which tribe you think I am. It's kinda funny how tribalism has rewired your brains.

Anyone that doesn't agree with you is an osu.


Nigerians would have left you tribalist behind so your dream of becoming Nigeria's president isn't going to happen.


God gave you a brain. Use am

Why not mention your tribe if you are really not igbo

You be proper igboman

The familiar pattern of asking stupid questions and pretending to be reasonable is all over your comments

Theres nothing wrong in loving ones tribe...
If that's tribalism so be it.
what's wrong is loving another tribe more than yours.

Be proud of your tribe

EFCC should stop harassing a particular group of young men just because they appear to be doing well financially.

Na only those doing illegals EFCC dey arrest

All those doing legal hustle no dey fear EFCC

Although they can be selective and are not perfect EFCC don't always go after people who didn't steal and if people who didn't steal were investigated they are always let go once found innocent and many have won against them

You don't want Reno to buy more Aba made shoe bah. The Peter Obi treatment 👇

Na so nobody win $10k

Meaning Obi a actually didn't build any school

That wouldn't have been an issue if his supporters have not been making it an issue for others , me I like what he did but I will join to gaslight him because that's what his supporters do to others

Splashme:
Ignore him ... like he does not exist.
Give him the Peter Obi treatment. Unfollow his Twitter & Facebook pages.

That guy has effectively learnt the craft of using Peter Obi's name to cash out big from his social media handles.

At any time you view, like, comment, reply, share and quote his posts, he gets paid.

Obidients please, ignore that unstable character.

Reno deliberately frames his posts to make them tempting for you to reply ... pls, learn to restrain yourself. Allow him wallow in his delusion.

Why did you think GEJ made him SA on Social Media ? The guy is good in Social Media management.

Another MUMU REPLY



You never see anything

Believeintruth:
You see why I say people like you don't have sense at all. You are just assuming rubbish that the person who said it is not a Yoruba man, but again you have no proof that the person is not a yoruba man. Assumption kills always use your brains.

Anybody can claim anything

We have seen igbos use Yoruba names as monikers
What will prove you is the trash you spew, the OP clearly aint Yoruba

But I cant force you to accept
Nor force you not to assume anything
And I cant force you not to accept
The choice is yours
