CACAWA:
If this story is true, then I have a question.

According to the picture above, the Oba of Benin was newly installed meaning his predecessor had just died, and the Ooni of Ife died the next year.

In 2015 also, a new Ooni of Ife was installed and the Oba of Benin died about same time.

Also, this Ooni of Ife has married a Benin woman....hmmmm


Something tells me that the Oba of Benin is the ab_OBA_ku of the Ooni of Ife.

Especially when you recall that the reward for an abobaku is that he must also enjoy life like the King.

Can somebody tell me what Wike and his horde were doing in INEC collation center. How did he expect to take this size of crowd into INEC center and expect the Commission to continue collating results? I have never seen a governor this stupid.

Those of u accusing Islam and muslims of this gruesome act. Be carefull God is watching u.
'verily the unbelievers wishes to extinguish God's light with their mouth but nay Almighty God has perfected his light, even if the unbelievers hate it'.
Slander, rant, spite, curse all you like paradise is 4 d muslims alone.
May Allah's curse be upon the perpetrator of this evil(taking a forbidden soul).

Who else competed with them? Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva?

This is another defeat and frustration for Fayose as the court refused to grant his prayers that EFCC be made to unfreeze his accounts and restrained permanently from freezing them in future.

Ekpas up here lack comprehension ability, hence they celebrate invitation to EFCC to defend it's actions.

Fayose cannot get off this hook. There are previous instances where accounts of sitting governors were frozen for similar offense.

It's more than unfair that you enjoy immunity from criminal and civil acts already. It will be double tragedy for victims of your criminal acts for your accounts which were used to commit the crime to enjoy same immunity.

if Dickson n Nelson Wike is not in attendance then FG isn't ready for dialogue. those are the real pillars of the Niger Delta Region when its comes to the creek.

HungerBAD:
A solid King.

This Ooni is well loved and respected by all, including and most importantly, by his own people. The last Ooni, before God now interrupted him, nearly dragged the cradle of the Yoruba Race into the Gutters because of the Pots Of Ayamase Stew the PDP Government kept pushing his way,and he thus became their Spokesman in the West.

The last Ooni embarrassed the Yoruba's to the extent, that nearly all the Western Governors, including the Osun State Governor refused to come for his Burial, what a shame.

To the new Ooni, please do not belittle yourself or your office that way, stay out of Politics and may your reign be sweet as that of the Honey.

Let them wear whatever they want to wear, they will soon be tired. HIJAB has come to stay, there is nothing any CAN can do about it. Allah is the one that commanded female Muslims to use HIJAB.

Oba Ewedo
{About 1255AD-1280AD}
Prince Efabo ascended the throne after the death of his father with the title Oba Ewedo. Seen by historians as the second greatest monarch to reign in Benin kingdom.
It must be observed that the three first Obas - Eweka I, Uwakhuanhen and Ehenmihen had their political support from the elders {Edion who later became known as Uzama} Oba Ewedo discontented with the rudely behaviors of the Edionisen {five Elders} uzama he called them ‘Emwan nei zama omwan’ meaning people who don't show respect to their Oba this was later corrupted into Uzama. This is not surprising because they brought Oromiyan from Uhe [IIe Ife]. These Edion more or less treated the monarchy as primus inter pares which position Oba Ewedo therefore embarked upon a risky job of suppressing the Uzamas and miraculously, he did not only succeed in doing so but eventually suppressed Ogiamien who was virtually in control of the City State. The final settlement came at the battle of "Ekiokpagha" which the Oba fought with Ogiamien who was defeated.
After the victory Oba Ewedo received the royal stool from Ogiamen and build the present royal palace.
Ogiamien was appointed a chief converting Ogiamien his nickname to a title.

The pantomimic re-enactment of this battle is now a part of the coronation ritual usually performed on the seventh day after a new Oba is crowned. It is in this light that one may venture to say that Ewedo really consolidated the position of Benin monarchy.
In other to make the Edionise five elders {Uzama} more, accountable to him he reduces their power, which before now was equals with the Oba.
He prohibits all chiefs including the uzama from sitting when they are before him instead they must stand in a row to identify him from them.
He prohibits all chiefs from carrying Ada the royal sword of office before him.
To weaker the power of Uzama the more he created the title Iyase [I ya ona se uwa] meaning this I create to be higher then you all. Most of the functions and powers of the Edionise [five elders] Uzama like the conferment of titles both hereditary and non hereditary were transferred to Chief Iyase who does so with the instructions of the Oba. The Iyase now became the second in Command & the kingdom Prime Minister. The only important function of the Uzama was to officiate at the crowning ceremony of a new Oba.

Hopefully, this is not comedy...

The guy have a good case, but for him to prevail, he must fire and replace his current lawyer(s).

No one should have any faith in a lawyer that put out such a poor and ill prepared write up, they must be fired. He should not go cheap on lawyers here and, there are many experience lawyers that can handle this case on a pro bono basis or with no upfront fees but a third (or some percentage) of the eventual payout and can wait until the payout is collected or don't get paid.

This is not a case for a charge and bail lawyer to handle.

Oduduwa (odu to da iwa) has meaning in Yoruba.

Oduduwa has Yoruba meaning, Google is your friend. I know the claim that oduduwa came down from heaven has no basis, but you will agree with me that eweka belongs to the oranmiyan dynasty, simple.

macof:

oduduwa came from Orun(u may choose to translate this as heaven or sky) thats what it is. however the oduduwa you should be talking about isnt the Sky Oduduwa but the earthly one who WHO CAME FROM OKE-ORA northeast of Ife
just because he didnt come from the sky doesnt mean he came from Benin.... same way u called ur first dynastic kings "kings from the sky" doesnt mean they actually came from the sky
stop acting like benin doesnt have its own myths which get woven into history





lol. but u arent even yoruba and cant speak d language. how do u expect to know the meaning of a yoruba name?
