How long did it take for Yoruba ethnocentric people to turn this into claims of "Oba of Benin is Yoruba" ?
We just can't catch a break with you guys, can we ?
Dude, don't believe everything you read, the Oba of Benin doesn't pray for the Oni of Ife nor for the alafin of oyo nor for "other Yoruba kings every morning" !
You guys need to stop reproducing all these nonesense!

Your author if he wrote that, he was only telling a lie. Didn't you notice that he is the only person to claim that ? In more than 600 years of contact Between the Oba and Europeans ! And in 1939 many people could write in the region, including the secretary of the Oba, and nobody wrote that nonesense except your author !

You are probably a 20 something yrs old boy

We don't need any argument.

Just take time and go to Ile Ife and ask to be taken to Orirun Oba Benin...The Tomb of Oba of Benin....
Whenever Oba of benin died, his remain is taken to Ile Ife for burial and their tombs are there in Ile Ife as i type this and their names inscribed on the tombs. Oba of benin is a son to Oranmiyan from Ile Ife...That practice of going to bury them in Ile Ife was stopped recently around 1960...the first Oba that was not buried in Ile Ife was the last one before this current one was installed.

No matter what false narratives they decided to weave, it cannot stand because clear evidences abound. Their graves are in Ife for all to see. Go there and verify before you continue to shoot mouth on what u don't know anything about.
All these false narratives you read and from this current Oba is just for political reasons...nothing more. He knows he's from Ile Ife.

Stoplying:

The guy whom you are replying said Edo people and the yorubas have common relatives, he didn't say we were relatives !
It is strange that what he said was enough for you to spill out your usual Yoruba tribal propaganda. Edo people are not Yoruba and not from Ife. The Oba of Benin is not Yoruba, (he doesn't come from Ife neither) and he didn't go to Lagos for "tutorship" on Yoruba culture. Lagos is and has always been part of Benin empire, and ruled by a vassal of the Oba of Benin.

Below is an 18th century map from Emanuel Bowen.

You know not what you are saying.

Till 1960's when the previous Oba of Benin died, his body was taken to Ife for burial and that has always bn the case till the last one that died and they stopped taking the body to Ife. I was a boy of 12yrs old in 1980 when my uncle took me to Ife to see Opa Oranmiyanand not far from that place was and is, till today, the tomb of the last Oba of Benin.

Oba of Benin is from Ile Ife and when they died, their bodies are taken to Ile Ife for burial. Same thing goes for the Yorubas in Ghana, once the king dies, a message is sent to Ife and Oyo for another king and the body brought to Ife for burial. That stopped due to the distance a long time ago. For Benin, that practice was stopped too when the last one died and the current one was installed.

Anyone who wishes to argue with this fact, should go on an expedition to Ile Ife and ask to be taken to Orirun Oba Bini{meaning The Tomb of Oba of Benin}..the tombs are still there as i type and their names inscripted on the tomb. The idea was the king must not be buried outside Ife but due to civilization and the fact that everyone now wishes to have their own history, they are trying to unlink what's unlinkable.

The fact will forever remain that Oba of Benin is one of Oduduwas son from Ile Ife. No amount of false narratives can change that.

Matters of the heart usually end between misunderstandings and miscommunication. Matters of the soul are cosmic. And what's divine, you learn to see it with respect before anything. Where there's respect, there's a formless love, always alive.

The Obi of Onitsha was seen recently dressed like a Yoruba Oba, 50 years from now, there would be claims that dressing originated from Alaigbo. That is after they dump their wool winter cap.

obi of Onitsha was from old Yoruba Kingdom...he was sent from Ile Ife. look at his dressing mode as different from all other Igbo kings. and He's formerly called Oba...it was later changed to Obi to reflect the geopolitical location after the influence of the old Oyo Kingdom had dissipated.
Onisha was a town under the old Oyo Kingdom.

35 year old woman?
That one would have slept with many men?

Sadly, you are right...the body count would have been over 10 for the decent ones...but they are still better if your concern is stability in yyour marriage. You will have to accept the fact of their bodyy count.
I repeat, girls under 30 are highly unpredictable and lacks focus and are absolutely not loyal ina relationship.

If you take accounts of the %of divorces and seperated homes, you'll find out that most of these women are between 28-37yrs old....from 38yrs upward, the numbers of women divorcing drastically reduced because they are now relaxed and knows better.

Sheila, the wife of singer, Davido’s Logistics Manager, Israel Afeare, popularly known as Israel DMW, says her husband should be held responsible if anything happens to her or any of her family members.

The former beauty queen on Friday raised the alarm that her life and that of her family members were in danger.

She alleged that Israel invaded her mother’s shop with hoodlums to harass her mum.

She made the allegations while reacting to Israel DMW’s claims that she and her family, especially her mum defrauded him and that she left their marriage as soon as she became famous.

Sheila said contrary to Israel’s claim that she and her family are “gold diggers,” she is from a well-to-do family, stressing that her dad and former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomole are “first cousins.”

She wrote via her Instagram story,

DAILY POST recalls that Israel and Sheila tied the knot on Thursday, October 20, 2022, at a traditional ceremony that was held in Benin City.

However, the couple got separated barely eight months after their lavish wedding over allegations of domestic violence and infidelity from both parties.

DAILY POST

Marrying or even dating a 21yrs old girl is a recipie for disaster. How do you expect her to be focus?
Especially, if she's exposed to social media.

If you wish to get married as a man, start your age threshold from 35yrs old lady.at that age, she's more resonable and focus.
She would still give you issues but manageable ones.

Any woman below 30 are not generally stable, The reason is, they are under a lot of pressure from men who still want their body but they took this for genuine attention from men and the result is they will take off at the slightest misunderstanding with their man.

If you want to have peace of mind as a man, stop going for women under 30. They are 99% not fit for marriage. No life experience to guide them. They only have the social media as their mentor. They absolutely don't have any sense of loyalty. They have loads of suitorsand they take to flight at the slightest oportunity.

Hello good people of nairaland my question to yorubas why so much envy and jealousy against igbos . Igbos are known to be industrious throughout the whole world instead of yorubas learning from them how to be industrious they are using there media and everything to make igbos look bad in the eyes of other people .we didn’t steal there land , we didn’t rape there women ,we didn’t raid there land and kill there people
Ask a Yoruba man why he voted apc upon all the hardship they have caused Nigerians he will tell you he voted apc to pepper igbos what exactly is Yoruba problem ? note I don’t want any tribal war here be guided

They are know to be industrious druglords and cocaine pushers all over the world
Almost every week, Indonesia and some of the Arab conutry kills minimum of 5 igbo for drug related offences.

98% of drug-related arrest made within Nigeria are made up of Igbo men and women.

YYour Senator and his wife are currentlyy in jail for havesting kidney on one innocent boy and theyy have bn doing it for long

is that what u want Yorubas to learn?

Yes, the US supports them with armour but what would u say to Russia that is bn supplied drones and attack helicopters by Iran? They all need support. So don't come and tell me they can't do anything without the USA...remember Isreal is the fourth on the list of superpowers on this Planet?

I know it's important to gain the support of the international communities for Isreal but for me, Isreal is spending too much time explaining...they should descend on Hamas full force and exterminate them. The Arabs support for Palestine is fake...if not why have they all refused to allow them entry into their countries? Because they know Hamas is deadly and will cause problem for their citizens in the future just as they are causing problems for Lebanon...Palestines are the bulk of hezbolah.

Shame on Israel,, I said it the other day and I was heavily criticized.

I'm yet to see the dead bodies of Hamas fighters Israeli soldiers killed in that hospital, they are only showing us fake weapons.

Hamas had ample of time to evacuate all those things if there was indeed an underground tunnel as Israel has claimed, there were signs and warnings of imminent Israeli assault on that hospital.

I believe CNN because they have their people on ground in Gaza covering everything, they move around with Israeli soldiers

Netanyahu has a lot of questions to answer

The question is not about the numbers of weapons found there but ...whatis a tunnel doing under the Hospital?
Why dug a Tunnel under an Hospital and arround it?

What's the purpose of those Tunnels under the Hospital?

You wanted to get married to a widower with 6 children? And even thought of not having a child yourself?

Some of you ladies are unbelievable!

na money and the fact that men increases in value with the experience and his pocket size
women will always flock towards a man who has financial capacity and his other qualities

A woman does not look at a man as a left over because of how many other women he has slept with...such increases the mans value before the woman.
On the other hand, no normal and sane man would want to marryy a woman with 6 children...she has been overused and lost her sexual market value.

Jewessgratitud3:
I just thought to share and again it's no bodys business what I share about myself here. I chose to do it and don't care if it sits well with anyone or not. My life, my share .

I'm sharing this just to let some ladies know that being a widower doesn't break a man and will not stop him from being an unrepentant cheat if he wants to. I used to think a widower will be more responsible and loyal to one woman considering the fact that he's now a second hand value bachelor and the death of his former wife will make him get closer and more committed to his spouse, home and family at large but I was wrong cos after my experience with one, I realized men will always be cheat men.

This happened in 2013 after staying away from relationships for a long time. So I joined Badoo ( it was the rave then, though I joined in 2012). A young man ( in his 40s then) chatted me up and I checked his profile. There he stated that he was looking for a lady for serious relationship and added he was a Christian. He was also looking very handsome and tall. We chatted and exchanged numbers.

When we got talking he told me he was a widower. It was hard to believe because he looked very young. He now told me he married very early. He went ahead and told me he has 6 children 👀👀👀. I didn't believe until he showed me their pics. 4 girls and two boys. He said the wife kept having children because she wanted a male child and died after giving birth to the last child, a male. She got home from the hospital after childbirth and started bleeding immediately and was rushed back to the hospital but never made it back. Meanwhile he was not in the country when this happened.

This made me have compassion and developed feelings for him. After a few months of inviting me over, I finally agreed to visit after he assured me the elder sister is staying with him to look after the baby ( he was already a year then but was not walking). He never liked the boy because he was always saying the boy caused his wifes death and each time the baby boy sees him, he'll be screaming due to the way he looks at the baby and I'll be telling him to stop, teasing him that it's him the boy resembles. So when I visited for the first time, I was shocked at what I saw. He actually owns the house he was living in in Sango. He built it when the going was good but after the wife's death, he came back and stayed for a whole year without a job. He just got the job he was doing as a hotel manager when I met him and his take home was not good at all. So to maintain the big house was a challenge. He could barely feed his kids. Even the two older ones were not with him. They were living with his brother just to ease him of the burden. when the sister saw me, she got angry and told him that he has not finished taking care of his children he's bringing in another lady. He told me to ignore the sister and face him. If I go there, I'll cook and serve everybody because he was always complaining of not having money but sometimes he'll give me part of the money I used.

Initially the children didn't like me and he said I should be buying them snacks. So then if I close from work, I'll go and meet him at his office and we'll go home together. I bought snacks and the children reluctantly collected the snacks. He went to work on that Saturday and I gathered the children and started telling them stories. They began to come close. When he got back he drove all of us to a football viewing center and bought me pepper soup. I thought I had found the right man. I was even saying I don't need to birth any children since he already has six. We'll just stay with his own children ( lol . small girl sense). He would tell me no, that he wants me to give him a beautiful daughter like me.

Six months into the relationship, I noticed something in his room while he was away at work. I saw a foreign prison card in his jacket I now began to connect the dots. I remembered him saying he was away when the wife died and while she was pregnant, he had problem abroad. So she developed BP. He even told me he wasn't around when his house was built that the wife supervised the whole thing before he now had a problem but be never told me what the problem was. I then discovered with the prison card, he was prolly in jail all that time. I didn't ask him anything.

Later he started telling me there's this single mother that has been begging him to marry her and she buys him stuff. I was like marry her now afterall two of una na second hand value. He'll laugh and say God forbid. That he wants chassis. The lady buys him and his children stuff. At a point I told him to stop collecting the gift or risk our relationship. He promised to stop.

One day he was sleeping and i was just going through his phone ( I never used to do that) and saw "my love". My head sparked. I woke him up with a heavy slap and showed him, he started saying its you I love. I said no! Tell me who this Is.. then I began to cry because I just knew it was over. He started begging and called his Aunty into the room. The aunty said the person is a family. I said call her. He now called the number and an elderly woman picked and he started telling her that I'm crying my eyes out here because I saw a message he sent to her. The woman spoke with me but I wasn't convinced. Throughout that night, he played "please forgive me' Brian Adams. hmm.. feeling nostalgic now. I calmed down and we continued.


After some months my chairman sacked me because I refused to go out with him and told him I'm in a relationship. After I lost my job I reduced my visits because bus fare from mainland to Sango was quite expensive and he too could not sponsor my visits regularly due to so much financial responsibilities and since I had been the one doing it when I was working. It became a once in a while thing.

Then one day, he told me to come to his office let's go home that he has missed me. I asked him, do you have money he said we'll manage. This man did not tell me we were going by train ( chai things we do for love) from his office we set out to oshodi. This man put head for train lane. I said waaaat t... I almost went back but it was already getting dark. I entered train for the first time. See me shaking. He had to hold me before one man now stood up for me to sit. Because it's been a while I've been to the house, when we got home, the aunty said you'll not stay in one place. Today you carry this, tomorrow you carry another one. I told him what the sister said and he told me not to mind her. In my mind i was like... see this second wen I dey manage too wan dey play ... I kept asking until he now confessed that the Aunt was referring to the other single mother that the lady has been forcing herself on him but it's me he wants. There and then I zeroed my mind.

After that visit, as we were going that morning, we quarreled on the way because the vehicle we borded got spoilt plus I wasn't happy after hearing what the sister said. So I was just edgy that morning and blasted the driver and some of the passengers. He got angry and left after trying to get me off the bus and I refused, saying I should run after him cos he's running late for work. I was just looking at him. I didn't get down. I waited for him to go far, I now got down and took another route to my house.

I didn't call for a week and refused to pick his calls because whats the point killing myself over a widower with six children who has refused to stick with one woman. When I eventually picked, it was my guy ( now ex) who told me to pick in the bus that day we were going to camp and he was chyking me. Oga kept calling and as usual I ignored him but the sound was disturbing our conversation so my gy told me to pick and hear him out. I picked and he was crying and put all his children on the phone to beg me. He said they are missing me and one of them is sick. I said ok, I'll call you later. That was it. I blocked him. Went to Badoo and blocked him there in fact I deleted my Badoo account. Deleted his number and ended the whole thing..

Men will always be men

Modified

When I said all men are the same what I'm simply implying is, whether they are poor, rich, widower or handicapped they will still cheat or have that tendency to cheat. Take it or get lost!

A man's vulnerability doesn't stop him from exhibiting those bad habits (cheating and deception). They'll will always do that thing that make us call them meennnn... If you know what I mean and if you don't Gerrit, forget abourit. .

The premises of your story is asolutely wrong.
Men don't cheat
men are naturally entitled to more than one woman.

A man increases in sexual market value with multiple women
A woman decreases in sexual market value when she's open to many men sexually

A Key that opens all padlocks is called a Master Key...whereas, a Padlock that can be opened byy just any key is useless in the market
The Master key increases in markets value with the number of Padlocks it can open whereas, the Padlock loses all markets value when it can be opened with more than one key.

Accept the natural order of things or perish in heartache.

Benwallt:
An Igbo group under the aegis of Concerned Igbo Elites (CIE) has cried out over the non-representation of Ndigbo in the government of Lagos State.

The group made their position known after examination, verification and scrutinization of the cabinet formation of the Government of Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

In a statement made available to the media on Thursday, November 16, 2023, the group decried what they called a misnomer calculated at marginalizing the Igbo in Lagos.

The group made it clear that Ndigbo in Lagos are are not happy considering the cordial relationship existing between the Igbo and the Yoruba in Lagos especially since 1999, when the former Governor of Lagos State, now President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was in power.

The group maintained that such cordiality and peaceful coexistence between the two groups which have been the hallmark of the host and her visitors which have been jealously guided should not be thwarted for any reason.

Coordinator of the group, Aji Ibe said his group is surprised that no person of Igbo extraction is found in the current government of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, despite the struggle and efforts even at personal discomfort of some Igbo people in ensuring that the All Progressives Congress won Lagos and Nigeria at large.

Mr Ibe therefore called on the governor and the relevant stakeholders to halt what they call total marginalization of the Igbo in Lagos especially when viewed against the quantum of revenue which the Igbo add to the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the State.

Ibe said “We are concerned and we are not happy. We have our illustrious sons and daughters in Lagos, especially somebody like Honourable Jude Idimogu, who has served the state in the Assembly for eight years as a lawmaker; we think that such a man should be compensated especially when you look at what he did for APC, he campaigned vigorously, organizing press conferences, town hall meetings and explaining APC manifesto to his kinsmen, he should be compensated. He should have been given something like commissioner or Senior Special Adviser, it is not too much for him. What we are saying is that such a position can still be created for him and others like him.

Hon. Idimogu through his brainchild network, Abundance Movement, was able to mobilse his constituents for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for Presidency and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the number one Governor in Nigeria. He also played key role in so many other associations formed to mobilise support for Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu, such group as Igbokwenu for Asiwaju. Remember he also supported the election of Tinubu through Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Igbo groups.

“He is not the only one, there are many Igbo people who worked for APC in this Lagos and across the nation, they should be appointed into Boards so as to give them a sense of belonging,” Ibe stated.

Secretary of the Group, Mazi Cyriacus Nnaji, a media practitioner, also spoke in condemnation of the serial marginalization of the Igbo in the government of Lagos. He said that there is no problem between the Igbo and the Yoruba.


He recalled what happened on the day of elections where a few individuals tried to cause trouble on both the side of the Igbo and the Yoruba due to differences in political opinions, but said such disagreements were subdued by the responsive interventions by people like Jude Idimogu.

“Our people are being marginalized, many see this as an oversight but this is a serious oversight and should be reversed. The Igbo race is not a negligible population, I can tell you authoritatively that the Igbo are second only to the Yorubas in the population of Lagos and so, they should not be ignored. We are not taking Lagos from the Yoruba, God forbid that anybody should ever think along that line. What happened during the election was a misunderstanding between two friends who were opposed politically but not our Igbo.”
