Osuji and his associates, John Wamuigah and Tolulope Bodunde,

PHIPEX:
Did I mention anyone or your conscience is judging you?

PHIPEX:
You are happy your "rival" did not win but not that you won. Shame no dey catch you, that's witchcraft.

lajuwa was a ruler in ife, he was an head messanger who seized power and became ooni, power was also seized from him, even oranmiyan seized power, meaning ife never had a stable rule, if a messenger can seize power, what does that tell you about such civilization the olopa and olokoda are not in any way related to the oba word sorry

Shattuck:
go and read the history of ife kings were being over thrown by people within and outside the royal family, even strangers at some point ruled ile ife, when kings were being overthrown from ile ife military style Benin already had a kingdom with a direct line of succession now how did an ife who didn't have a stable govt or line of succession now give Benin a king, who already had a stable and organized civilization and govt

Shattuck:
what I am saying is this there is no way ife could have given Benin a king, when ife never had a real monarchy, in ancient ife kings were being over thrown like military govt style, individuals from different households at one time or the other ruled ife, oranmiyan was a Benin prince who at one time ruled ife, and oranmiyan was the father of eweka, even your Yoruba history documents this fact too now tell me is eweka a Yoruba name, if oranmiyan was a Yoruba man why did he name his son a Benin name, and how could an ife who never had a monarchy and ife where power was being seized by individuals like in the military govt had given Benin a monarchy? Go read ife history power was being seized by anyone powerful enough to seize it.

It's highly Dubious & hypocritical of yoruba to lay claim to beni because their king answers Oba but turn around to accuse ndigbo of laying claim to ikwerre even thought their kings bear Igwe & Eze, and their towns carry igbo names. Yoruba stay in your lane- always looking to reap from where you did not sow

Shattuck:
I believe the history of a bini prince who became ruler of ife, and returned you guys always assume the benin story as Benin vs Yoruba race, no it was Benin vs ife and ife was a smaller kingdom in size and number compared to the Benin kingdom. Guess you agree with my other points.

Shattuck:
lies the ooni does not bear the title oba historically the title ooni,alaafin is the title not oba. 2. Oba is a title specifically used to address the ruler of Benin kingdom as it is not a Yoruba word by origin maybe borrowed before if oba truly means king alot of your kings would be address by the oba title, only the oba of lagos who is a descendant of Benin goes by that title,. 3 oba word is just like the word priest, or deacon or archbishop, it does not have generic meaning as it is specially reserved for the ruler of the Benin kingdom just like deacon is specially used in Christianity, my guess on how oba came to be part of your Yoruba lexicon is that it is a modern word probably gotten from the oba of lagos title which signifies king and you just added it to your prefix, lastly if you Agree your kingship is by rotation which justifies the historical facts of how a Benin prince at one time became the ooni of ife, ours is by lineage, and and the Benin kingdom has always been like that, now if ife and Benin never went to war and Benin was never conquered how then would you even imagine that they would just hand over their kingship to an outsider, think am now, a people that does not practice true monarchy go come give you monarchy when you already had a civilization that is passed on through blood.

lies in ancient times this was how your ooni were addressed Ooni Lafogido, Ooni Osinkola, Ooni Ogboru and Ooni Giesi, even the recent one is addressed as ooni adeyeye enitan, and to further enlighten you on how a Benin prince was at one time king of ile ife, your ife kingdom has never been ruled by one family since ancient times, even the title is rotated among families how can such a civilization which does not even practice true monarch, found the Benin kingdom with a direct ancestry? According to the history a Benin prince was exiled and he left for ife and became the ruler of ife when his father passed he sent one of his sons to become the new ruler. That is the truth even your ile ife till this day does not have a direct line of succession,which means even in ancient days it would have been easy for anyone to be ruler of ife. Which also corroborates the story of a Benin prince who become the ooni of ife.

Danand1:
I don't think that is true, but if it is, it all pointed to because Oduduwa ruled in ife

Danand1:
Is Oduduwa a Yoruba man?
Probably it was in-cooperated into Yoruba language after Oduduwa came, because if Yoruba can take a foreigner as their father, I guess there is nothing impossible.

shugamummy:
Oga with pussy odour. What he is saying is that you need to go build $23billion dollar worth of business in Igbo land to talk about reciprocating. You only reciprocate hatred among yourselves and not against any one from the East. Mention one Yoruba business man in Onitsha, I think you can count millions of business men giving your people food everyday in your Yoruba, including this one

shugamummy:
That would be a sweet thing to need visa to enter Ore, unfortunately the drugs would be sold to you and your lots across Africa earning foreign currency to the owner to be repatriated to his home country. You see where your mumu starts. Mind you, you be charged based on the prevailing exchange rate with his home country which won't be funny with the Naira.

43Ronin:
That's why yorubas would rather die than have their own country. Their regions wealth is in the hands of a few people who have and continue to steal from nigerDelta. They cannot exist without NigerDelta unlike Igbos and hausas who are business minded

You see why I called you MC Oluomo?
Go and read in between the lines before responding.

Let me help you to use your brain a little.
So the average man who is on the preponderance will care about Emzor if there's something cheaper that can do the same thing?
Do you even know how paracetamol is made?I'm sure you don't know 96% of paracetamol is starch.

You just sit and type nonsense.
Go school you no gree.

The Coca-cola analogy is to help you understand that no matter how big you are, it doesn't make business sense to remain in your base.
No sensible business enjoys competition when you have a ready market with no competition.

Everything is not fighting for motor park chairmanship.

Ubanz:
Na who get Emzor?
Na de same region you are trying to ridicule.
If you talk to much I will tell her to relocate the industry to Aba where you have 24hrs electricity.
