Commonsense99:

Religious Bigotry, intolerance, Tribalism, favouritism, outright intertribal jealousy, and devilish pathological craving to suppress Ndigbo, that is what is wrong.
Go to Europe, Germany /Italy fought the whole world but you never hear people attack them in EU.
Go to Asia, majority wouldn't know that Japan once fought the whole Asia, in alliance with Germany.
Come to Nigeria, igbos lost a lopsided unjust war, 50yrs later they still continue to be attacked.
That is why we want out.

so what do suggest Nigerians do

[quote author=flyingpig post=93592349]yeah to be honest. When i went to akwa ibom I faced serious igbophobia from the indigenous people especially their females who swore never to marry an igbo man whereas their males liked igbo girls and to roll with igbo guys stories have been passed down generation to generation that one igbo man who married from there used the lady for blood money rituals, after she died he went back to the east to marry an igbo woman and enjoy his new found family with proceeds from blood money of his previous partner. So the prejudice and fear haven't died even till now. So it's always wise to know or have a slight experience of a location before you move over there. So you don't regret your decision ( based on what you're looking for ).

So I can't really say which state I'd like to relocate to, UNTIL something carry me go the state on a short visit and after my return, I will want to go back.[/quot

where are from ?

flyingpig:
Okay this is an interesting topic. But i can't wish to relocate to any state that I've never visited, and perceived the pulse of the state as well as its orientation and lifestyle.

wow����

the situation Nigeria is face with is quite not funny to any gentle well meaning and vibrant Nigerian aiming to get a better life in his/her day to day hustle. but the way things are going got me worried and I decided to have a very swell discussion with a friend who have worked in virtually all parts of the country. frankly speaking I was shock he begin by make reference way back to the tower of babel how God separate them because of their unity and he end up by saying that the problem of Nigeria is also a spiritual one due to the spiritual and tribal difference saying that the country Nigeria adopted its L1 as English against her ancestral tongue is enough problem to cause problem.

as for me I am from Edo state but apart from my beloved state I would love to reside in Delta state and Rivers

Obamaofusa:
Olodo.What does the Yoruba nation need from Edo?Nothing.
Yorubas are bigger,better,richer,more educated,more exposed,more knowledgeable,more developed and sophisticated than Edo.Edo is a very little toddler compared to the Yoruba nation.
He was just telling you the affinity between Ife and Bini then not even the whole of Edo as we have it now.

the Edo people will rather form their own nation together with Delta rather than joining Sw

Iamgrey5:
@ emboldened is not true.

Edo is an igbo state that has nothing to do with Yorubas.

Oga Edo state has nothing to do with Igbo before you start to talk wetin nor concern you.
prove it to show that Edo is Igbo state

fykes:
Okay I thought I was the only one who noticed... I watched the video keenly from the start to end,

From his diction, I deduced the following:

He mocked oshiomole for his error in judgement.

The Oba made it clear he has a strong relationship with oshiomole. They are friends.

He never approved of obaseki as gov. And he still doesn't.

He is not standing on the fence, he will go where oshiomole goes. - he finds it convenient to chide oyegun 4 being partisan ( even though I agree with him) but not oshiomole

The oba is a human being and Free to associate and even have his own opinion. But from d video I saw, he's will throw obaseki under d bus anyway anyday.

check out what he told oyegun at the meeting before you make statement and also what the Oba said about the palace not been partisan at the end of the meeting.

Notatribalist:
You made a lot of sense.I was also wondering why he didn't caution iyamu.. I am from Edo state, but I never knew a whole oba would make such a speech.. Sincerely I am also disappointed.. Just imagine how he was talking to a sitting Governor..

this is absolutely why the Oba of Benin is in support of the social media bill. please stop misleading the public for your own tribal or political gains. the Benin throne as over the years been non partisan, what the Oba want from obaseki is for him being in office and is considered the eldest son to ize iyamu and the Oba been the father want obaseki to realize that he is the eldest and that ize iyamu is his brother.
browse the event yourself and see or listen for yourself before you let this self centered individuals in this forum to corrupt your listening mind because they want to post nonsense for their tribal or personal interest.

best way to picture this event is to view it this angle

Oba is the father
obaseki is the eldest son
ize iyamu is the second son

oshiomole is a friend to ize iyamu and an outsider who is in crisis with obaseki

oshiomole in this context is an outsider because it is obaseki and ize iyamu who are really on the race not oshiomole as you know that was why it was obaseki and ize iyamu that was called out to embrace each other.

obaseki is the one in power
ize iyamu is the one seeking the position

the Oba must come in with words to plead and cursion obaseki not to use his power because he is in office that was why the Oba made reference to Jonathan.


long live the Oba of Benin
long live Edo state
long live FRN.

Nigerian pastor prince Dickson has predicted Olamilekan Laycon Agbeleshe to win bbja season5. This may come as a surprise to so many considering the high sexiness in the biggest TV show in Africa.


what do you think of the pastor?.

and can't be compared to the Emir of kano, Oba of benin, Ooni of ife,obi of Onitsha.

I think this can really help in the lingering supremacy tussle between tribes

Chidorx60:
every culture has a myth,
I have always been skeptical about the ogiso story though.

do you do archeolgy

Ogiso era is not a myth because it all have prove you don't know about the prove because you are not into it. I could prove it if you were with me. Benin has myth but not the ogisos please understand. I have made my research by visiting the palace and other places to get full details, I think you make your research. If you need any clear narrative about Benin you can contact me. I am a young Benin indigene who have dedicated time to study Benin when I was 14 and now am 22. The deepness of Benin history cannot be properly exposed except you are part as there are a lot the outside world don't know about Benin.

Its impossible to dethrone the Oba of Benin because nobody will ascend the throne which therefore means that he can never be dethrone even by the president except suspended to be reverse once the govt in power is out, just like oshiomole did to the onojie of uromi who was reinstall when obaseki and the present Oba came in. So it is impossible to dethrone kings in Edo state because of the type of tradition it have which is similar to Benin which is their center of origination. Unlike the obas in Yoruba land whom is done by passage from house to house in a particular family which somehow make it easy to dethrone because another can fill the position. Primogeniture give the Oba of Benin advantage over other ruler in Nigeria.even if for instance he is remove, no Edo man will temper to come in as Oba you can check out what happened when the then obaseki of Benin (high chief Agho the grand father to the present governor and great great grand son to Oba orhogbua of Benin and a direct son to the then newly founded obi of obuluku in delta state today) tried to ascend the throne with help from British, the Edo nation will reject the person forget your money or power. The only thing the Edo people understand about the palace is that only the first son of the king (Edaiyi no ken) can ascend the throne and there is nothing anybody can ever ever do to change that even with the money the Esama of Benin has. So naijaloaded confirm Benin history before posting about it don’t mislead people
