Yoruba should do what? Both cases aren't the same. The resources from the Eastern region was used to develop Lagos and keep its population. If Onne Ports in Rivers state is dredged today to accomodate big vessels then your Lagos becomes a shadow of former self. Be careful how u open that carton u call mouth.

ode.

Which resources from the east was/is being used to develop the whole of Nigeria? Palm oil? I know you can never be having crude oil in your mind while typing the rubbish above because the oil your region is contributing is verry insignificant. Ondo alone produces more oil than the two oil producing states in the East, and lagos is also a oil producing state.
Lagos belongs to yoruba and yoruba alone and time is coming when royal stools of other tribes will be abolished. And your opinion about the ports in your region is just a bee parlour gist go do your research before typing rubbish.

deedeedee1:
Nigerians are not united. They only like to deceive themselves

Yoruba too should do this.
Royal stools of other tribes should be abolished in our region including lagos. I'm partially in support of what the Edo is doing by saying no to ijaw king on its territory, it's when you allow them install kings that they would have the boldness to call your region a no man's land.
Yoruba should also learn from this. Some people only understand strong hand.

Jochabed:
Am not from anambara, but i can say he works more than some governors.

it makes no sense at all to praise a gov for this little project. What has the man actually done for his people that they are praising him? Or are they hiding his achievements from the media? Just tell me what he has done better than other governors aside signing useless memorandums at the end of every month.

Jochabed:
One of the most active Governors in Nigeria.

Verry active in the game of deceit and lies. Just three pictures that do not tell much about the project and you are praising him.Shame on syncophants.
According to the pics, one can deduce that it is a verry small project that should be given to the local government to handle, but somewhere in Anambra a whole gov is taking glory for it.

Shame on anyone praising Obiano for this.

Act of terrorism.

Basic123:
How?


how did ogiso changed to "oba"?

Those guys self!

I guess hatred is hindering them from thinking properly.

kingcypress:
Are you saying we don't have Hausas in Igbo land, Yorubas in Hausa land, Igbos in Igbira land?
Its obvious you are Yoruba, now choose any other tribe you can stay with if the need arise.

I can stay with any tribe but others are always verry comfortable staying with us

No point debating this as everyone knows yoruba is the most tolerant and accomodating.
Reason?

Go to any yoruba states and you'll see other tribes in their numbers working and living peacefully.

Most of them are even practicing our culture. In other words they've been yorubanised. And this is due to our OMOLUABI nature.

Check/ask what caused the accident and the answer you'll get is overspeeding.
Major cause of road accidents is overspeeding.
May their soul rest in peace.

Opiletool:
How can it be true? The title of their kings was not oba until the arrival of oranyan at their place. Yoruba already have the oba word existing in the yoruba names and lexicon since forever. The likes of obatala, obalufon, obaluaye which are among the leaders of the so called 14 clans in ife before the decision to unite them under one king, which began the power tussle between oduduwa and obatala. So how was it theirs? They should give proof of how the word was theirs.

this is yoruba side of the history of the title OBA, they also have their own version which they strongly believe to be the truth. They believe ''kabiyesi'' is the original title of a king in yorubaland before we adopted OBA from them. Na their mouth the whole thing sweet jare.

I see brown roofs, potor buildings and road.
The development they are claiming they brought to lagos,ph and Abuja let them replicate it in their region, and the urge to covet other people's heritage would cease.

Yeligray:
The critical question we should be asking ourselves is; who are these boko boys?, how do they keep regrouping/multiplying?, who is behind them?, how do they survive without supplys in the forest?.

valid questions but no country has defeated a terror group utterly before in history. Even the mighty US is still experiencing terrorist attacks.

This is a tacit support for terrorism

proudlyYoruba:
The ones on this forum are nonentities, the important ones are the royals. They are custodians of the culture and laws and they know our connection even though they have a new identity. Àjàyí was just rambling, his Awori assertion proved he doesn't know what he is saying. He claimed and he is not Yorùbá, if you aren't an Awori you are not Yorùbá if you are then you are Yorùbá. Just because we ruled Dahomey doesn't make it our very own land

i quite agree with this response, only the last line i find puzling

olawalepopoola:
If Oba of Benin can openly deny it we will agree. It is because of politics that they are claiming that. The real historians of the Benin know this. Ask yourself why the use of the title "Oba".

they even believe we stole the title ''OBA'' from them. I don't know if this is true or not. But i do know many of them are hating on us, the earlier we realise this the better.

proudlyYoruba:
It is just ego bro.
“I therefore stand before you as the 40th Oba of Benin, a direct descendant of Oranmiyan, the son of Oduduwa, whom the Benin people of that era knew as Ekaladeran, their self-exiled prince who later became ruler in Ile-Ife. The Benin people recognise Oduduwa and his origin but it is not our place to force this recognition on others outside our boundaries.“
The history of the world is a shared one and there will certainly be unexpected connections in the future. This is, thus, a time for unity and not divisiveness, a time for mutual respect, recognising that our wholeness as people is so much more than the sum of our parts.”

i used to think just like this before but never again will i deceive myself that there is special bond of love between Edo and yorubas.
The division is not from us but from them, and since they've chosen new identity for themselves (especailly their youths on this forum) we have no reason calling them our brothers or saying we are same lest they start suspecting us or thinking they are special. Just slight difference between them and igbo in terms of suspicion and hatred for yoruba.
Did you even see the interview one of their elders, Ajayi bembe granted to punch newspaper last week concerning lagos? If you've not seen it pls do so quickly and tell me why we should keep believing yorubas and Edo are same.

proudlyYoruba:
One thing is sure Yoruba and Benin are the same, though they both contest 'for superiority'. Oba Eweka the first Oba of Benin is the son of Oranmiyan, the prime heir to the throne of Ile Ife and the founder of the Oyo Empire. The binis claimed they exiled a son Izoduwa (actually i believe he is in the Congo), they claimed Izoduwa is Odùduwà the first king of the Yorubas. The Igalas are a Yoruboid group but I don't know their ancestry. There are claims that Onitsha is a colony of the binis. That seems to be the connection
I might not be right ooo

please stop saying or believing that Edo and yoruba are one and same, most Edo folks don't see it that way. Edo is Edo and yoruba is yoruba. We are completely different people.

The agbada suits osinbajo no be small.

MummyBOyigbo:
After I prayed for her see the legs.
Glory be to God.

you mean the woman didn't use any medicine?

Movingon:
Its not a new thing. his fore fathers did same before him. its a visit of appreciation for honoring his invitation. Buhari and Osinbajo has also paid homage to him in his palace more than once. so its normal for him to say thanks

then why are some of you complaining because Ooni is going places?

guuudy87:
So he shouldn't go and see what presidential villa looks like abi

if you ask his people

they would tell you yes.

To them it's a taboo for a king to

step out of his palace.

Isn't that funny?

liberalsinnerx:
I was surprised he is Igbo; typically it's afonjas that do this to their children...look at how tiny and skinny he is like an afonja. Reply me and see what will happen to you...you will be shocked what will happen to you within seconds of replying me...if you have ears listen!

I don't know if it would be appropriate for me to come hard against your tribe igbo because of the stupid opinion of someone who sold his brain to lamidi kanu.

Well it's not okay to answer a fool like a fool all the time, lest people think you are one and same.

Oba of Benin is too important to leave his palace or visit anyone
only Ooni travels everywhere.
Maybe na him goast we they see there

Edo folks on this forum better open their eyes and understand that we are no longer in the stone age when kings would just sit in their palaces and expect people to be paying them homage. This is 21st century.

raker300:
It's buhari fault...

Now, zombies should read thru before mastubating over the first paragraph.

The depression caused by the bad economy is leading us to self destructive nature.

The article says his wife died about four years ago, so the urge for sex must have driven him crazy into molesting his own daughter,but you think buhari should be blamed
N.kanu really did a lot of damage to you people.

cascarino:
That shows your region is still hundred years away from civilization contrary to your claim of sophistication.

Ndigbo did ritualism and skull mining in the mid twentieth century and found out that it is not a true path to wealth as people erroneously believed. They've moved on from such barbaric and fetish act. That's why you scarcely see people with human heads in the East anymore.

Reverse is the case in the self acclaimed sophiscated West where skull mining and other forms of diabolical activities for money reigns supreme. You guys are still one hundred years away from civilization.

I stand by the point in my previous post that igbos started ritualism in this country and because you travel a lot, others have learnt the evil act from you.

You started it and You've not stoped doing it. There are restaurants in your region that even serve human flesh to customers.
When it comes to ritualism, others including yoruba are just playing catch up game with you igbos, You are the master of the game.

Igbo ritualists are not always in the madia like the ones in yorubaland because you are keeping/ shielding them from the police and Media, and the reason is due to the fact that the evil act is like a normal act to you igbos.
Yorubas are godly and we don't defend evil like you igbos.

40kobo77:
I don hear.

If na by prayers, the conmen parading as Daddy this G.O or Daddy that G.O in Nigeria would have solved our problems.

10% of Nigeria's wealth is with these three churches(Redeemed Church,Winners Chapel,Christ Embassy) the other churches combined hold another 10%.

Our churches are the richest in the World,yet the Country suffers. We don't need the Pope's prayers, we need to beg our corrupt Pastors like the corrupt politicians to release our money back to us.

Incoherent rubbish.
Nothing brainy.

amunkita:
Why is his still intact
Waste the devil...

Ndi yoruba nah ritual, SMH....

igbo people started ritualism in this country, others are just learning from you.

Okija shrine is the headquater of ritualists in Nigeria and the whole of Africa and its located in Anambra, igbo land.
What about cliford orji that ate human flesh. That one is also an igbo man.
You igbo should change please, and may God purge our land clean from ritualism and every other evil crimes.

Ritualists are being caught here and there in SW because of our zero tolerrance for evil, unlike you igbos who'd rather cover your ritualist brothers in the name of brotherhood.

Igbo people and ritualism are like 5&6.

Afobear:
sure but it gladens my heart when an afonja dies

i know you as one OSU dirty kanu follower. And since OSUs are heartless i'm not surprised.
