Isee is a native word to say Amen in the east of Nigeria and in the south south of Nigeria it origin.

Isee is amen in both igbo and south it means it work, it alright in Edo, it originated from benin it now use to say amen in south and in east of Nigeria.

Iha see, charm or magic work or reach a name to a benin high ancient chief, Ihasee.

Osee in Benin means it will be ok or it aright or it reach, it a confirmation that it going to reach, in benin they will say what you say will answer for you so isse is an already confirmation that what you want will reach it destination or just simple alright.

words that is not amen in benin but isee related.

Ijesu see na ro meaning god reach to worship

Osee it ok, it alright it reach

iha see, charm or magic work or reach a name to a benin high ancient chief, Ihasee.

ebo see me

Osa see men God work for me or god reach me or god alone is alright for me.

when you ask someone to take something and the person is taken it and if it has reach your limit in benin you will just say Osee meaning it alright now or it ok or it reach.

Isee have a very long history in benin how it started to be the name to confirmed what you have prayed for. Yes it alright, ok, confirmed, reach but it story is different it was during the Eware of Benin empire it started to be used as a confirmation for your prayers.

Awol1:
That's what it is; jihad.

They veil it under the guise of fighting corruption...

They have demented and shallow-minded urchins, both in cabinet and everywhere on social media to defend their atrocities.

These urchins are either educated illiterates who cannot read beyond the line and discern things, or are doing what they are doing for the money and the power.

They do not care about what we are going to bequeath to the next generation. F*ck the next generation. Let them be islamised for all they care, so long as their interest for today is protected.

Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, etc, were wholly Christian countries but Islamic marauders succeeded in islamising them.

They will no longer do it through war in Nigeria because we are now in 21st century; the World will condemn it. But they will do it systematically.

The worst thing that would happen is if they continue to have praise-singers amongst Christians.

We should all, all Christians, rise up against this.

Look at their foolish Christian appendage in Aso Rock what they've reduced him to... sharing money to buy votes.

Tears for my country...

I am a Christian but I like the bill.

goalernestman:
You scared me with fact lol or you are the one who cant face the fact.

I bring European source for you but you trying to search for European source and you found out there is no Oyo history in it and then trying to look for Arab Muslim account of Oyo since they also came to Africa then and it hurt you again that you didn't still found Oyo in Arab map of Africa account then.

The map you brought out have no Oyo even the the Greatest Arab Explorer of all Time Ibn Battuta, Marco Polo still claim Oyo empire never existed. No wonder you are so dissapointed I feel your pain bro and your bitterness.

goalernestman:
Firstly I will say this to you:

1 GREAT AUSTRALIAN BIGHT is totally different from BIGHT OF BENIN or bight of anything when they say something is of meaning is of, eg back of john house is my house, my father is the head of our family, front of my room is Kelly room.

Agree of your claim of bight of which means CORNER ocen so this means that Benin was in corner of the oceans that flows below South Nigeria (Benin then) and west Africa

2 You claim Benin did not extend to this place that was just named bight of Benin: the slave cost Lagos which was the last Nigeria state in West and also last south in the side of the ocean was depended state of Benin if you can tell me another state below Lagos in there that was not Benin I will agree to your claim in that.


BUT THERE IS NO ANCIENT EMPIRE CALLED "GUINEA"

3 Wrong again here you claim you know history but you didn't know GUINEA was named after the "Ghana Empire" which was the first discovered west Africa empire by the European in 1471



THE IMAGE BELOW IS NOT A MAP OF OCEAN OR ANY BIGHT AGAIN BUT THE MAP OF THE COUNTRY IN WEST AFRICA THEN.

Draw and write by by Lázaro Luis in 1563

goalernestman:
maybe the image will explain better.

benin was the name called southern eastern western Nigeria then only north was different, and benin city was the city, the ocean that flows below Nigeria then was called bight or bale of Benin meaning under Benin, the ocean was named to the country it lies on

goalernestman:
and who told you Nigeria was not organized as a nation even before the British came, let me tell you Nigeria was a nation before, from the middle east to the south east and west was known as bight of benin or Benin, and the city of this place runs in street light as far as the eyes can according to captain Lourenco Pinto who came ti Nigeria then in 17th century

goalernestman:
have you ever thought of what was the first capital city of Nigeria, first thing that comes to your mind is Lagos. no the first capital city of Nigeria was Benin city it was called the city of kings or Benin city. then it has a fence or walls around it. it was said that the fence or was rounding it 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.

A Portuguese captain described the city in 1691:“Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed.

benin city was the capital of Nigeria then until Benin was being conquered by the European in 1970 this enable them shift Nigeria city out of the state.

but you still heard benin city when reading state and capital this is also why they still called it Benin city till date.

and it is the only city called called city when reading state and capital.


if you think otherwise you can reply below let match the facts

1.Ojota
Ojota used to be a military settlement in the late 18th century and soldiers practised their shooting there. The area had several gun firing spots and became known as “Oju Ota” in Yoruba
which means “Bullet spots”. It later metamorphosed into Ojota which it is called now.


2.Abule Egba
This area is on the outskirts of Lagos and got its name from the early settlers who were Egba people from Abeokuta. The area was first called “Abule awon egba” in Yoruba, which means “Village of Egba people”. It later became “Abule Egba”.


3.Apongbon
Apongbon is one of Lagos’ most popular markets, and it’s also quite close to the popular Oke-Arin market. It got its name from the then acting governor of the Lagos colony, William McCoskry, who had a Red Beard. The Yorubas who couldn’t pronounce the colonial governor’s name decided to describe him by his red beard and started calling him “Oyinbo to pon ni igbon” meaning a red-bearded man. It later became Apongbon.


4.Magodo
Magodo is now a posh area, but in the past, it used to be sacred land. The residents had a lot of taboos and one of them was to avoid using mortars and pestles, “Ma gun odo” which means “Don’t pound it”. It later became ‘Magodo


5.Epetedo
Epe is named after the early settlers who were Epe traders. The area became dominated by the Epes and they still trade there until today.


6.Ebute-Metta
Ebute-Metta is one of the earliest harbour docks where British ships berthed at. It was a hub for trade and commerce in colonial times. Ebute-Metta is a fusion of the words “Ebute” which means the seaside in Yoruba, and “Metta” which means three.


7.Broad street
Broad street used to be one of the longest and widest streets in the city. It got its name from its broadness.


8.Agidingbi
The British Naval forces invaded Lagos in 1885 under the pretext of stopping slavery and human sacrifice. The noise their canon made was really loud, and the sound was heard round the streets of Lagos Island. The people described the sound as “A gb din gbinnn”. Which means a loud groundbreaking noise. The name Agidingbi was borne out of this.


9.Victoria Island
Victoria Island was also a major hub for commerce and British ships berthed there often. It’s named after Queen Victoria of England who was Queen from 1837-1901.


10.Ikeja
Ikeja, the capital of Lagos, is actually an abbreviation for “Ikorodu And Epe Joint Administration”. It was coined by the colonial masters for ease of administration.”

Another tape has emerged of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu calling Igbo people 'Awon Okoros'.

He proceeded to hail them by shouting 'Igbo Kwenu'. 

In Part 1 of the tapes released earlier today, Tinubu was heard promising to give massive amounts of money to members of the party if President Buhari emerges victorious in the 2019 General Elections.

WHY WE CALLED OFF ELECTION BOYCOTT--- IPOB

IPOB PRESS RELEASE
15/02/2019

It is important we notify the world at large and the indefatigable global IPOB family in particular that our supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has called-off the election boycott in Biafraland. After a brief emergency session of the Directorate of State (DOS) late last night, presided over by our leader, where it was determined that all our terms and conditions had been met by those wishing us to lift the ban on voting, it was unanimously agreed that the boycott should be lifted. The signed document agreeing to IPOB terms and consitions are in our possession and will be made public in due course.

We can therefore state with utmost sense of responsibility and pride that IPOB has accomplished what no other people or group has been able to do in the history of our people. Without prejudice, this will go down as the defining moment when the irreversibibility of the restoration of Biafra was firmly entrenched in the subconscious of all and sundry. As a result of which we can state categorically that Biafra is a lot closer than we think as a result of this.

Our detractors and opponents have also realised that IPOB is a super-structure that can't be blackmailed nor intimidated into conceeding an inch without getting what they want. We regret the lateness of this agreement that led to the calling off at the eleventh hour but it must be seen as a negotiating ploy designed to wear IPOB down which failed woefully. We stood very firm and got every concession we asked for in line with what our leader outlined in nemerous recent broadcasts.

If there were any doubt before regarding the potency of IPOB, this successful outcome has dispelled all of it. Therefore it is full steam ahead towards Biafra restoration because IPOB has achieved something most people thought was impossible. IPOB worldwide has proven that the impossible is achievable with dedication and demonstrable sense of purpose.

Our leader made it clear on many occassions that unless our terms are met the elections will be boycotted. Having met those conditions, our leader triumphantly lifted the boycott late last night.

The leadership hereby commend the worldwide IPOB family, especially our legendary volunteers, our fathers, mothers and e-warriors that battled the enemy to standstill. We salute their doggedness, resoluteness and resilience towards this fight for Biafra freedom and this greatest achievement we have so far made.

Therefore, we wish to inform the world that our preconditions and demands which we set out to accomplish from the onset, has been conceded to and taken care of without much alteration. Our struggle for total Biafra independence has been enhanced as a result of this.

even with rigging, Atiku will still win. This coming election will be though. Non residents in kano are even planning to flee ahead of polls. It's in the news for doubting thomases to read. All parties are ready to monitor their votes this time, regardless of the threats or attacks from any side. They know apc would want to rig at all cost and that's why the CJN was arraigned and removed within 3 days...the fastest in the world and Guinness book of world record said they'd publish it in their next edition. Did they not k know the CJN didn't declare asset before his appointment? Lol. Apc knows Nigerians aren't happy with them so, they're trying all they could to win but hey. Its gonna be tough cos people are ready to defend their votes . Unfortunately, those who won kano for PMB had left the party. Ganduje isn't a popular politician in kano cos it was kwakwanso who put him there. The dollar bribe is another setback for him.
