OgunRitualHouse:
Igbo shared same culture/the Benin kingdom ruled some part of Igbo Land doesn't mean we were Binin,


In the Benin Kingdom, the Igbo people have been existing

So you really are Igbo. Its true its an Igbo thats behind all these fake derisive monikers pretending to be Yoruba and Hausa and Edo
You just caught yourself in this post.

sweerychick:
that dude called hardcoredoman or whatever his moniker is may not actually be from Edo state. He maybe from a region well known for their ethnic divide tactics

Which ethnic group is known for divide and rule tactics? Is it Igbo or Yoruba?

Missyford31:
Is ok. Is only words from a stranger. I know im a good person n my family n friends do so thats wat matters.
I dont discriminate anyone. For someone who hates to be discriminated against she sure is good at it herself.

Yea please dont let it bother you. You seem real nice. Were just in a world where there is a lot of hate.
I like how you handle the situation in a respectable manner.

classicking:
How is this news egbami

How is this news any different than the news that makes front page?
Most of the front page news are stuff like this. If you don't like her because of her state or ethnic, then just be honest

raph101:
Menh.... am I the only one who feels busy people will see this as too early

Either way December is a few days away, y'all acting like were in October or something

Nice tree, I like the decorations
Christmas is nice

Of course, the aboriginals hate you whites and rightfully so. No, it wasn't your generation who committed the atrocities towards the aborigines, but what has your generation done to rectify the savagery of your ancestors? You think that it is unfair that your generation is hated for something you had no part of, right, but have you heard of the ancient saying that the sins of the father will be visited upon his children, well you reap what you sow. For your information, your grandparents are fake Jews, they are only converts of Judaism from Poland, Russia, and Germany, the true Hebrews were black. As the Arab president said, and I quote, "How did you leave Israel black and come back white?"

Khiaa na, its not good to be saying such things about people. I know whites have done a lot of cruel stuff to our people, but we all know as Christians we should still love everyone and bless those that hate us. Its not easy to show love and bless those that have been bad to us, but as Christians we still have to try. Love is the most important of the commandments. If you don't love your neighbor or enemy, than its impossible to love God.
All of what Im saying is in the scriptures and is the center piece of Jesus Christ's teaching

Edodefender:
Na you sabi, any party that present another clan apart from Bini is lost.

atiku ain't losing

Edodefender:
Atiku win, obaseki will be rigged out. Ize iyamu 8 years then another Bini man for 8 years

Edodefender:
Mtchew see esan people arguing.

After obaseki finish this first tenure, ize iyamu will win 2020 and do 8 years then another Bini man for 8 years

Please stop trying to bring division within Edo. Esan Bini and Esatko and all of Edo are brothers. We are one
There are a lot of agents of division going around dividing Black people

IHate9jerianss:
I came across one of "her" posts yesterday which I found a little disturbing.I decided to read "her" past posts and i discovered there is clearly a "White power" thing going on in them.That monicker is upto something untoward on this site

Yea unfortunately there are lots of people on social media and forums that spread division and hate between Blacks.
Our people are too busy fighting one another instead of coming together as one. A lot of the people here on nairaland are unkowingly working against their own country. Were fighting each other instead of building each other up and progressing

Felicia001:
My friend keep quiet... These are not negative comments but the truth... I've traveled to all states both in SE, SW, SS and the NC guy I can tell you Edo state especially it state capital has the worst road let's not talk about power now... Guy Benin people are suffering from bad road both in the raining and dry season... How can you be constructing a road without drainage systems in land topology that is erosion prone??

"The Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has made true his promise to reconstruct failed roads across the state with the commencement of work on 109 roads in the three senatorial districts."
The above quote is from the article. The poor roads your talking about, it looks like the governor is making a genuine and good effort to repair the roads. He is doing his job. The negative comments are not necessary.
What do you guys want him to do? If he does nothing about the roads, you all will start criticizing him yelling: Edo State!
Now he is fixing and reconstructing bad roads and y'all are still stalking sh.i*

Efewestern:
Culturally, the itsekiris are more Edo than Yoruba, but linguistically and otherwise the itsekiris are more Yoruba than Edo, the itsekiris are more closer to the South Eastern Yoruba groups such as Ilaje, Ijebu and Ikale than they're to other Yoruba groups, may I also note that the itsekiris unlike their Urhobo/Isoko cousins who traces their origin to Bini migrated from various places such as Ijebu, Ilaje, Igala etc but adopted a Bini prince.

In all, Delta as a whole is culturally Edo.

Oh ok, sorry I didn't know that.
Thanks for explaining it to me

Ehisbaba78:
Thank you for explaining to the few that read without inner effort to comprehend.

Lol no problem. I don't know what article they were reading or if they read only parts of it. lol

bukatyne:
This news is positive to you?

Does the pictures show a quality job done?

You must be one of his minions.

The article said they BEGAN the work. It means there not finished or even halfway finished.
They just started. They're not going to finish contracting 100 roads in 10 minutes.
Its positive, because he is going to reconstruct over 100 roads.
I can't believe I have to explain this
But yes haters everywhere

Too many negative comments. A lot of haters on here.
When it comes to Edo, even when its positive news like this, other Nigerians will find something negative to say.
Nigerians from the other 35 states.. smh

Nice work Obaseki. You've really done well.
Please do the same for Esan land as well.

IbrahimDamola:
My dear yoruba muslim brother, are you pained about the truth that I said?

Do you want me to hide our religious division and lie about our fake 'yoruba unity'? Have you forgotten that MURIC our leaders empahisize that we are yoruba muslims on social media?

Dpharisee:
They are blaming Yoruba Afonja Muslims not Yorubas, they respect true Yorubas not Afoja Muslims who sold Ilorin to Fulanis

Bro all this Yoruba Muslim vs Yoruba Christian stuff needs to stop.
Lets be serious, Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christians do NOT hate each other. They are united.
Yorubas don't discriminate amongst themselves when it comes to religion.

Their are mischievous elements that are trying to put division between the Yorubas.
10 years from now, God forbid if Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christians start hating each other and discriminating
against each other and dividing, we will all know where it started from.

For the last year, mischievious people with agendas trying to bring hate and division between the Yoruba people and between Nigerians as a whole.
Im not even Yoruba, but I see patterns on how people spread and start hate and division

ImperialYoruba:
The safe way out of that is not to even put Yoruba and Edo together in any post and avoid any hint that Bini is Edo. We are not same people with Edo, they have their own separate and unique identity. Bini's umbilical is tied to Ife.

Itsekiri, whether Ijebu or Ilaje is entirely Yoruba origin.

Edo has its own grouping and their originality has not been lost. Recently Ijaw has attempted to change that originality. If care is not taken they will succeed because Edo is deeply focused on the wrong thing. Edo leaders are stuck in a past that has lost relevance in modern world. I will use a case in Yorubaland to give you example.

No person becomes governor in Yorubaland without first seeking and obtaining endorsement from crowned Obas in his state. Once he becomes governor no prince is crowned an Oba in his state unless he authorizes the staff of office be given to the choosen prince. In Oyo, this relationship existed between the paramount Alaafin and the Esos. Nobody authorized staff for Alaafin, its his birthright. Times have changed. Alaafin was overheard sometime ago advising Oluwo about this change in power and telling him that the governor can sign a paper and depose him (Alaafin), much more a lower Oba like Oluwo. This is recognition and an acknowledgement of the times we live in.

Do you know how many Emirs are under the command of the Sultan? His domain span into Niger. Abacha deposed a sitting Sultan and then had him exiled like criminal back to his mothers home in Adamawa state.

All monarchies in Africa are no longer seats of absolute power, they are only ceremonial relics of culture.

Edo leaders have not come to grips with this reality yet. They are loosing political realities to conservatism and preservation of relics. They should accept reality of modern times and get their politics together fast. Biafra will become reality, it might not be in this administration or next, or one after it....but Ibos will eventually get their way and become independent. When it happens, Edoland will be tested. This is time to get the boundary right and enforse it so you are not caught unprepared.

They tested Edo once, in 1967. They will attempt again when they successfully have a sovereingty.

Istekiri's are mainly Edo, they are mixed with Yorubas, They have more Edo culture.
They do speak a Yoruboid language but are more Edo

Have you seen the work Obaseki has been doing for the state. What do you mean the leaders don't have their priorities straight?

Edophobic people all throughout nairaland

ImperialYoruba:
Are you aware that the first non-Yoruba political movement to be created in Lagos, ahead of others, was by Urhobos?

That political movement, created somewhere early 40s, opened eyes of Edo leaders and gained momentum into what would lead to the referendum in 1963 of a MidWestern region.

I am cognisant of the political successes and how Urhobos shaped thoughts in the Midwest. Somehow that power was taken from you when Bendel was created and subsequently Edo.

History serves a purpose and howevrr long in the past it may be it will continue to inject itself into definitions around politics and culture. Look at Edo history and tell me if they can survive as a standalone political entity, a self-propagating and independent nation with zero alliances to any other. The answer is no! They must find alliances to attach to for greater political gains.

There is a reason Europe had an allied force and attached itself to America to counter the threat from Eastbloc. It paid off! Their traditions, monarchies, cultures...all intact and not disrupted by the instruments of their alliance.

I hate to accept this, even though it makes sense....an independent Edoland, and all its sub-lands will ultimately call to Yoruba to formulate an alliance of protection and political advancement. The very reason for which the 63 referendum was pushed to create Midwest will be reversed to rejoin Edo under an umbrella of a strong political (but relaxed cultural) affiliation, championed by Yoruba, particularly on the coast and towards river Niger.

The threat you face from an independent Biafra is less to that faced by the people in the COR region, nonetheless it is there and must not be dismissed.

Urhobos are more capable than any other of the Edoid groups to lead and champion a political mainstream for your people. You have demonstrated capability in that area many times before.

Stop trying to cause division between The Edoid peoples. You are mischievously spreading hate and division.
I see your mischievous tactics
Urhobos and Edo are brothers, we all originate from Benin City. In fact Nigerians as a whole especially in southern Nigeria are a close family
and are related.
I know your agendas are wicked, and are to spread hate and discord

mrdan:
Bros is it that you have comprehension problem or don't understand what i wrote up there or you are seeing double.

Your comments that I quoted earlier are very very consistent with comments made on any thread about any Edo person, especially on positive or neutral threads about any Edo politician or anyone Edo

People always draw and extract something negative out of a positive and always look to find fault

toyetade:
What a waste of government money. Is that guy the only disable person in the state. So all disable should become rappers now to get N10m

sacluxisback:
Beware of politician's goodwill, its normally used as a decoy to fraud and loot

mrdan:
The donations are good. but does it have to end with donating to 1 person there then another person somewhere, why can't they create a foundation or such that would help others rather than just 1 person out of many that need the help.

Of course since the governor is Edo, you all must find something negative to say.
Even if Obaseki had visited and showed goodwill to an orphanage, because he’s Edo, you all would have been condemning him for not visiting the elderly and be looking for something to say.
If it was from the other 35 states, you all would be full of praise
God help you all with your tribalism
Shame on the Nigerian bloggers and media and whoever responsible for all of this

Are u for real?

Nah he’s telling lies

pedrilo:
As a lecturer, this is what I dread the most.
But surprisingly, many people have no idea the kind of pressure we get from some very beautiful and heavily endowed ladies just to fcck us and brag about it outside.
Personally I have fallen for some and have had to run away from others.
It is not easy for any man, whether a lecturer, doctor, engineer or any other professional to say no to a beautiful woman who's willing and pressuring you to have her body for free until she reveals her true motive afterwards.
God please deliver us from evil.

Ok you are insuinating and lying that the girl was pressuring him.
Where you there? She was obviously being taken advantage of and exploited and pressured into giving him sex or he would fail her.
Do you see him claiming his innocent?
He admitted everything and admitted his guilt and even wants plea bargain.
Why defame the girl? Why defame the victim?
Did you forget that she recorded it all on tape?

kingthreat:
Monica Osagie is a wicked cunnt. Because of her, a family is starving. There are better ways to handle this. Shey na only her mama, her papa dey straff? Nonesense.

Your a wicked guy. I already know what your real vendetta against her is. But I won’t say.
The lecturer was taking advantage of her.
A good number of lecturers take advantage of ladies and pressure them to have sex for marks.
The lecturer is at fault her and your here defaming the innocent girl

IbrahimDamola:
We yorubas and our high libido lecturers.

Olohun ti mu eleyi! God don catch am.

What’s with the tribalism?
Please show respect for everyone’s ethnic group.
No need for tribal bashing.

This man is terrible.
Cheating is wrong. Why did he get married in the first place, if he knew he couldn’t stick to one woman

Since when small pickin kpekus come dey sweet useless men like this..... May God of justice judge that useless father and son

Haphard:
Fish brain, if you no get any meaningful thing to say, it's better you keep quiet

@Haphard
Why should she keep quiet about something as sickening and disturbing as this?
So your now supporting the rapists or something?
Your indirectly supporting and sympathizing with the rapists/murderers

SaintHilary:
Na wa o..ena go dey use old post disturb person mentions

Meanwhile i guess you're Edo...Hw much for ur short time service

Is there something wrong with you?
Must you talk to the pretty lady anyhow like that?
Show some respect and stop causing trouble anyhow

Esan women

ihatebuhari:
God bless my state Edo.

Thou I hate that shitthhole called Nigeria but am so glad my Edo mum did secure a better life for us here

SilentListener:
oh your foolishness is amazing, look at the nonsense you spill. you like the good life but you don't want to work towards it right? You just want to enjoyed from other people sweat? So tomorrow if the u .s start crumbling, and Nigeria start improving.you will denounced u.s.and start loving Nigeria. no wonder your sisters are getting rape to death every day. In Libya, foolishness is in you peoples blood.spit.

I don’t see what drove you so bizerk about the girl’s comment that you had to post that trash.
Those girls being raped are fellow Nigerians.
May God forgive you for your hate and inhumane words.
There’s nothing that that girl posted that deserves such a savage and barbaric response

Whether your Muslim or Christian or whatever religion, there’s no excuse for the amount of hate you’ve littered this thread with

Jaqenhghar:
If the Oba was interested in his artifact why didnt he go address them at their parliament or something. When the prime minister came he should have also gone to make a case then too. Just saying

Edo’s have been bringing this matter up for the past 50 years plus. It’s not a new thing.
He went to prince Charles, who has influence
You expected him to fly to the UK and beg for the artifacts?
Do you know how people have been telling the British to bring back the Benin Bronzes?
So every time a British politician enters Nigeria, the oba should beg for the artifacts? That’s unreasonable. For 50-60 years?

Please don’t complain about racism or demonize whites until you learn to do away with your own tribalism
I used to think you were pro black person until I saw a few of your comments
Your tribalism is low key, but it’s still there. You’ve made other remarks in the past to

Jaqenhghar:
When African man go ever get sense? All this coonery. See as dem rush to go greet white Prince. I wonder if any of them goes to visit the UK if all the dukes and princes will gather to greet them. SMH
Khiaa

It’s funny how it’s only on a thread about oba of Benin’s that you make this criticism.
You didn’t go derailing and accusing other kings of other states.
Was oba the only king that went to visit Prince Charles?
