Urhobo is not an Edo offspring. The urhobo nation is as old as the Edo tribe. Best description is they are brother tribes. Because they used to be one entity before the break.

PrinceMajestic:
I didn't type "thank God my monarch is not there" my expression was "Thank God my Monarch is not among those ones who visited Benin for recognition from the Oba in old times" real kings don't seek recognition from other kings. I'm not a Benin man, I'm from the nearby state

Moblux:



Myth?

TAO11:
Smh!

Anyway, now you’ve made a claim.

Is there any sort of evidence for this claim of yours?

Any evidence from the “Òró” people of “Kwara” where their oral traditions state that they are from “Delta”?

Of course there is no such thing, I’m only forcing you to wake up and see that you’re making stuffs up.

Cheers

FROM THE ARCHIVES:

The Story Of Attah Ameh Oboni - the Nigerian King who Chose Suicide Instead of Bowing to the Queen of England.

Attah Ameh Oboni was a revered Igala King.

At a particular Meeting held in Kaduna which consisted of all paramount traditional rulers in Nigeria and which had the Queen of England in attendance, Attah Ameh was asked to remove his cap to greet the Queen of England as others had done.

Though he refused until they said he should leave the Meeting if he would not remove his cap. But Attah was not like others, or was he?

It was a taboo for Attah to remove his cap in the public.
He grudgingly succumbed and removed his reverted Cap and immediately, the entire hall where they were staying was occupied by a swam of bees which emanated from the cap of Attah Ameh Oboni which he removed in order to greet the Queen.

The Queen of England as well as other Rulers in the meeting ran helter-skelter except the friendly Oba of Benin who was asked by Attah Ameh to go out before he removed his cap.
The hall became empty as some were stung by the bees and the meeting ended.

According to history, Attah Ameh Oboni was asked to be arrested and handcuffed by the Queen's Guards, which they did, but the handcuffs fell off his hands.

He was later locked up in a room on the instruction of the Northern rulers and guarded by the security personnel but only to find out later by the Security personnels that he had left the room.
Yes, when the security were taking him to be locked up, he told his driver, Amanabo (of blessed memory), to take the car and be going to Idah while the security locked him in the room.

He then warned Amanabo not to look back until he felt a cool breeze in the car. Though Amanabo argued a little that he cannot leave the Attah there but later obeyed and started driving back to Idah from Kaduna.

After some time, he felt the cool breeze in the car, and Attah Ameh was sitted inside the car.

The incident in the meeting made many traditional rulers which were mostly Northerners to be angry especially making other Kings run in such a manner because of bees.

This became one important sin and it was like “one sin too many”.

The Queen of Englnad was also not happy and they (the Queen and Northern leaders) started looking for a way to remove Attah Ameh from the throne since he was getting tougher and uncontrollable like others, as well as searching for an obedient replacement.

Igala has various cultural festivals, one of which is Ocho. Ocho is celebrated before farming starts, and it is the time that Attah Igala prays to God for sufficient rainfall, bountiful harvest, success in hunting. It is celebrated in the bush and the venue is called Ere-ocho, where the Attah will hunt until he kills a Buffalo or a strong animal. The community in Idah where Ocho takes place is called Ogo-Efa. He performs a little sacrifice to the ancestors using a fowl in the process, and this was to find out if there will blessings or problems in the land after the Ocho.

Before this time, the enemies at home (among the Igala people), especially those having connections with the leaders of the Northern Region, were working hard to get any evidence either true or false which can be used to remove him from the throne. The blood of the animal used as sacrifice at Ocho ground now became what the enemies would use against him.

Petition was written by these two Igala people to the Queen and some other Northern leaders that Attah Ameh was sacrificing humans during the Ocho festivals. Since they were looking for any means to displace him with, judgment was quickly passed that he must be dethroned, even when investigations were not yet concluded.

In addition, all the Igala cultural festivals including the Ocho were immediately banned and this remained for almost 63 years until Governor Yahaya Bello unbanned them based on the appeal of the present Attah Igala.

Already, before this time, the Oba of Benin who had such friction with the British had already been dethroned and banished from Benin. So, Attah Ameh Oboni knew that at that point, no matter what spiritual approach applied, it can only postpone the evil day as his enemies will never relent until he was removed by them.

The result of the blood sample which was taken from the Ocho venue and taken to University of Ibadan for analysis had arrived and it was proved that it was the blood of an animal and not human. Sadly, the revered King, Attah Ameh had passed on before the result was brought.

But Attah Ameh, being very sure that he was wrongly accused and framed up by his enemies, especially those from Igala who wrote the petition against him marking the beginning of his planned dethronement, made some pronouncements before his death.

He was allegedly quoted to have said that ” the person who wrote the petition against him would have that hand dried up, and that the leader of the gang or petitioners would be buried three times”. And they all came to pass.

While the hand dried as said, the other was buried as stated, first was the leg, second was his hand and the third was himself, all buried at various times at different locations.

In addition, as this information of his dethronement was given to him in a meeting from where he was supposed to go back to Idah and prepare to leave the throne, he stopped on the way in another Igala land called Dekina.

That was where he committed suicide.

Before taking his life, he was allegedly quoted to have said that the town, Dekina will be popular but its development will not be as much as its popularity.

He was also quoted to have said that because Igala was the genesis of his ordeal, there will be disunity among the Igala people until the reign of his own blood (son) as Attah, and all Igalas irrespective of their locations will be reunited again.

I think from the reconnection and reunification of Igala people across Nigeria and beyond which has been going on and still going on under the reign of his son, Agabaidu Idakwo Ameh Oboni II, the present Attah Igala, that pronouncement of reunification of Igala people is also coming through.

Same thing I was discussing with a friend yesterday and today.

Ladies now wear shirt as gown! They even wear so called biker short to occasions... Isn't that madness?

As a guy, I can't wear boxers outside my apartment, but that gender would wear cloths away from their homes and be using hand to cover themselves when they get outside.

Rules of the game;

1. Allow a hoe to advertise her wares.

2. Never interfere in a hoe's business if you're not patronising her.

3. A hoe is a hoe, regardless.

4. Don't expect sanity from a hoe.

But they re all turning hoes no decent ones anymore so what do we master

5. Bang a hoe, never marry/date her.

I will make it quick.... I and my ex dated in University, she disvirgined me when I was in my 200L while she was in her 100L. During my finals 400L she broke up with me in the most brutal and unremorseful and embarrassing way on the ground that I am not man enough and have nothing to show.
To cut d long story short she got married after her finals to the man she was cheating on me with then. Now she has a baby girl for him and we had not chatted for over 2years not until late last month when I uploaded an Old picture I drew when I was in my 300L on my WhatsApp Status and she knows d picture knows d picture. It's d picture of a naked woman without a head standing and posing. When she saw it she commented on it for d first time after 2years I wanted to snub d comment but I replied and that was how we started chatting.... like it was Liquified Gas poured into open flames and BOOOM... Combustion.... We vibed like never before. But here is d problem she has started become heels over head for me and I feel it's not normal she has been calling morning afternoon and night. She tells me how she just married out of family pressure and as a woman, time was not on her side but she is still in mad love with me and all that. Now she is going very deep.... Talking about nasty things and sex talks.... Telling how if she by mistake gets pregnant for me even as she is married she said she will gladly keep it and thank God for it.... Na dere I fear. I sent her a message telling her am not ready for any emotional attachment.... Did I do wrong?

I work in a commercial bank as a full-time employee. My gf used to live here in Ib where I live too. She has recently been posted to Lagos State for her Youth Service. Sometime ago, she's asked me to help her work on a reversal. A few days later, I checked her account to see if funds have been reversed but I saw an inflow of #8,000 from her ex. I confronted her about it and her excuse was she was stranded and she couldn't ask me cos we weren't talking at the moment. I let it go. A week after, I instinctively snooped through her account again and saw another inflow of #10,000 from the same ex. This time, I sarcastically asked if she was stranded again. Could this mean they are back? Should I just move on?. She has called me broke to my face a couple of times (I'm in some debt I'm trying to pay off and currently going through other quarter-life crises). We've been together well over two years and half and I love her a lot.

I'll appreciate your responses and advise.

Warm Regards.

I'll advice you to mind your business. Na Nigeria we dey. Your friend might even know about their relationship.
Incase your conscience doesn't let you rest, you should try and bump unto them so you can see and decipher her reaction.

Islandlady:
Nairalanders I need y'all mature advice on this issue, No insults tho

I have been friends with my male friend for over 11years now, so he is more like a brother to me! He got married 3yrs ago, But we live in the same district, I do visit them once in a while! And I usually bump into his wife at market places, malls or on the street due to the fact that we live in the same district.

My friend is hardly around for the past few Weeks due to the fact that he do travel for work. . .But recently I have been seeing his wife with a Man just about the age of my friend, I have seen them together at the mall for 3 times now for a period interval of 3 weeks, I usually dodge and escape myself so they won't see me! The last time I saw them together I took a sneak pictures of them, I don't know this man, I have never seen him when I visit them, he is not a family member! I have been curious so I feel I should call the attention of my friend to this and send him the pictures too!

Should I tell him about it or what? I am confused!

Flamemignon1:

like I said under White supremacy because if you knew the history of African,you will know queer people existed before the advent of the west. I'm done conversing with you because you can only scream and be mad yet pride keeps going on

Flamemignon1:

Right.... it's obvious you haven't left the four walls of this country so I'm not gonna converse with someone still living under the adverse effect of white supremacy. Have a great day

Flamemignon1:

Oh look, another pained person mad at someone for living his life,lol....do you think it's all queers that are weak? You mad you ain't sexually adventurous or because what you see as human sexuality is in the confines of straight sex,too bad people want to explore more and not be boring and normal like you.

Your power only shows around queer people,what happened to terrorists and political embezzlers,you know... the ones hurting people?

Astrokid911:
wait wait bruh u don see transmen before ,u be cabal o only u na men ,make a thread about your sexcapades this your story I get plenty question for you

Flamemignon1:

I'm pansexual and somewhat demisexual or gray asexual,what that means is that I'm attracted to all genders so as long as you are 18 and above,yea we can hit it but the demisexual/gray ace part in me depends on human connections before I sleep with them,I just can't sleep with anyone without knowing you first and having a mutual bond because if we don't,no matter what you do,my dick will never get up,be it cisgender male, cisgender female, transmen or transwomen or non binary and other gendered folks and I've had sex with all of the above....yep,I'm that sexually adventurous but we need to connect first

Since Tinubu emerged victorious in the APC presidential primaries, he has been congratulated by many, especially the Yorubas.
While I believe that Tinubu is a political juggernaut, but his victory and praise reveal the true color of Yorubas. They have chosen him because of tribe and sentiment without putting the country into consideration.

They easily chose him forgetting about the lekki toll gate saga,saying he is a real politician. What is wrong with the youth?

They have forgotten about his health issues and say he can handle the country anyways. A man that jitters when he talks. Watch the APC primaries, on one occasion, he staggered as he was climbing down the podium.
I could have gone for the young Osibanjo or any other option.

They have forgotten about the cases of corruption raised against him.

Many of the people from the south wanted a Christian to take the helm of affairs as the next president. Many Christians from Yorubas wanted that, but since Tinubu emerged, the Yorubas, both the Christians and Muslims have forgotten about what they believed could be best for the country at the moment.
When we talk about religion, they tell us they are liberals. Nothing could be more fearful of the truth.

Let us tell ourselves the truth.
The south has been betrayed by our Yoruba brothers in the south. They have revealed their true colors. They have always benefitted more from the North because they easily bend, feigning knowledge of politics.

Until we are true to these issues, the youth will always be in chains in this country.

I know many would say I'm wailing, but it seems we are not ready to change the country.
Tomorrow, the youths are the ones to cry , we need to change the country, fight corruption, and what nice rhetoric. But we have decided to sell our today off based on sentiment.

This is a vicious circle holding the country. When it gets worse, let us not cry again. Let us live with the monster we have groomed. The old ones have fooled us, but we keep fooling ourselves the more.
