PapaBrowne:
If you understand the dynamics of the whole Gelegele issue, you will pity the backwardness of some people.

Let me explain the narrative. Gelegele is the only access Edo state has to the ocean. It has been a territory under the Benin kingdom from time immemorial. That's where the British usually pass to come visit Benin and those who know about the Benin expedition can relate.

Now like most communities in Benin, other tribes come in and are given the freedom to farm or fish within the Benin territory but do so under the purview of an Enogie- the palace representative. That principle has existed in Gelegele ever since without qualms.

Recently, something interesting is happening in Edo. There is a new forward thinking Oba and a new visionary Governor. They came in at the same time last year. They sat together and decided that Edo needs a Seaport to drive a new industrialization plan.

And some folks just don't want to see progress so they decided to look for trouble over what has never been an issue. I might just have to conclude that the Ijaws are anti progress. The only thing this unnecessary trouble making can cause is to scare away investors. It's just a pity how backward a people can be.

Royalty and Kingship is not about crowns. It's about authority.

Your analysis is factual as far as the importance of the area to Benin from time immemorial, but I see a lot of ignorance in people's reaction on this thread. I don't have enough fact to make pronouncement on historical ownership of Gelegele but I know for certain NO ONE IS OLDER THAN THAN THE IJAW EVEN IN BENIN. Yes, they've made troubles here and there, claiming what's theirs as well as what belong to others. In fact, they were in Benin before moving on to the likes of Delta, Rivers , etc. They're one of the most ancient people in Africa, they've just been poor in projecting their history unlike others.

No! I thought I was the only one

Everyone has been paid?
Congrats then!

I can't believe this!
Abi na stage manage ?
But them say the man don die
Abi na hin look alike?
But them say he no fit step foot on the holy land
I no understand again o

Alert!
What's happening? I need an investor.

OK sis

yes bro!
Thank God for your situation. Some people have been told to meet ALL THE MILESTONES or face disqualification! Note, some people did as much or more than you did and got that kind of mail. So congrats!

Congrats

Is everyone getting alert and quietly walking away ?
God dey

The typical response of PAs to politicians.

It's better for you
They're not good for grantees who have laboured this far, but maybe good enough for those who either vanished or diverted their first tranche on something else. Just thinking

Some people got paid today. Some people also got other mails. Different strokes

What's happening my people?

Educative explanations.
The issue here is crisis of identity. We know:
Jews worship in Synagogues.
Christians worship in churches.
Muslims worship in Mosques.
Traditional worshippers use the shrine, Ojubo, Ileosa etc

It's ironic, Africans are no longer aware of what Africa has given to the world in knowledge; some of you guys would be shocked if you know the connection. Circumcision, hell, afterlife , redemption etc were first taught in Africa thousands of years before any known scripture.

Some business centers are simply running out of business ideas

Hello house!
How's business? It's too quiet here I guess the second tranche will arrive with some interest commercial bank rate preferably Microfinance bank rate. It is well.

The people in the world and those living above sin, I can't see the difference!

This is evil if it is true.

Keep trying Chinco!
You'll get there.
Nigeria will pray to get all the benefits of space exploration. Our seers can see everything from here, so need . We need pastors, not astronauts . continue.

Any mail?

No, no, no!
There are passages in the Quran that strongly suggest that. Passages that mention categorically races or beings that existed before us, that were mightier than us in size and strength, that hewed their dwellings out of rocks etc, that were wiped out. I'll get the verses.

Congrats!

@Aldulphus & Vivixander, my brothers, if a matter pains you beyond crying ,you suddenly find yourself laughing.
..but then, is it not a good news to learn someone somewhere has received second tranche alert? It'll get to us too by God's grace

Taking madness abroad?
Nigeria has more pastors than teachers, you contribute nothing to the development of mankind but hide under delusion of religion.
Those people you're bothering now are thinking of the new frontiers of development, year 1,000,000 ahead but you're engrossed in your idle thinking as Bill Cilinton put it that the world would end tomorrow.

Nobody received alert today?

Amen!!!

thefunclubenterprise:
Received too. Thanks to God

Congrats!!!
What exactly is the position of payments?
Kindly enlighten us. Thanks.

This is the best post on this thread in a long while, whether true or not�

The great Oba is clearly absent..... Oba no dey go transfer

You got it wrong, and the world has left you behind. These are first class kings with regional and influence, not local or intrastate influence.

Icon79:
Yes but, at the second coming, Jesus Christ would descend on Mount Zion.

Nope. Most biblical scholars agree that Mount Sinai is located in the Sinai peninsula - around the Red Sea region - in modern day Egypt.


O pari

Modern findings, in conjunction with descriptions of events in the bible debunked Egypt mount Sinai. All the conclusions point to Saudi Arabia - National Geographic.

Those religious bigots who think Muslims are their problem should wait and see. They'll experience the difference between Muslims and Jews and know that a Jew has nothing in common with a Christian concerning Jesus.
