The EFCC should carry out investigations and, if they find anything, build concrete cases with facts like they did against Justice Yunusa. That is how police work is done, not this playing to the gallery in the press.

freecocoa:
While I acknowledge that it's not nice to make fun of people, I don't see why people can't express their opinions on issues while being open minded about it, the fact that someone called Tiwa savage stupid for marrying a man she claims does all that and more, doesn't make the person insensitive, they only speak the truth, same for Tbillz so let's not come and be forming one thing one thing.


It's sad their marriage crashed but it could've been avoided. So why should I act like they had no control over their failed marriage? Abeg o. undecided
Your 100% on point.

Teebillz has released a hot single Ft Tiwa Savage. Everybody is now releasing their own cover: Charles Novia, Freeze, Charly Boy, and now ordinary Uti. Am waiting for Vic-O, the world's greatest king of covers to release his own cover. It will be dope!
Where is Charles Novia's own please?

These are emotional rants. He makes no sense at all. Who brought the matter to the public. People make memes all the time, about anything, so what's new? And what's that about people rejoicing?

OlujobaSamuel:
it seems people don't just get it. I refrained from commenting since this thread was created, just reading through to see how we reason, only few understand his view.
1. Sahara Reporters is a verified handle on Facebook.
2. There is an impostor.
3. Omoyele reported it few weeks ago(for those that follows him) to Facebook.
4. Facebook refused to bring down the page because of the revenue it's getting without considering it's existing user.
Omoyele is simply saying Facebook considers its revenue more than its users protection.
He is not accusing Facebook of bribery, but unethical conduct. Don't be surprised if Facebook brings the sponsored page down in few days after considering legal consequence, because it means there can be sponsored page(ads) of reputable Facebook users just to tarnish the image of the real user, eg, CNN, US organization, States president's, etc.
Thank you. I had made my post before seeing yours, but I couldn't articulate it so well.

I doubt zuckerbeg Wld stoop so low as to collecting bribes from saraki,we r talking about one of the top ten richest men on the planet.......... at the same time I think keeping the fake page alive is double standard,it shld also be closed
It's not about bribing Zuckerberg. Apparently Saraki's people simply opened the fake site and started spending millions on sponsoring it. Facebook accepted these ads. It's legal. I think what Sowore is saying is that Facebook may have refrained from penalising the site because it was spending millions on promo.

Culture › Re: Oba Of Benin - Erediauwa Akpolokpolo I - Dies Of Unknown Illness by JuanDeDios: 12:13pm On Apr 30, 2016
Businessideas:
Yes I did, Thank you sir. With all due respect to elderstatesman,Odia Ofeimum,who was the Private secretary to Chief Awolowo,he didn't say anything different from what the late Oba peddled in his book.For example,he said it was because the Oba of Benin was using the title of Oba, was the reason other Yoruba kings use the title Oba but he forgot to inform his listeners that the word Oba itself is a Yoruba word.And even by literal interpretation,it means the Lord governing all affairs but Ooni means "The Owner ".From time immemorial, only Ooni alone bears that title and simply because only one "Owner " title had existed even till date but you can have several Obas(Royal majesty Lords) even without distorting their ranking.For example, how would the Oba of Benin be Number one, yet his appellation is "Descendant of a king " even up till today (it was apparently to preserve that Oranmiyan angle,who incidentally is a Great Yoruba King) and bear same title with other Yoruba kings and the heads of his predecessors are buried in the domain of the Ooni who in the Yoruba history,is regarded as his 'Owner'and the "Owner of everything"?If Ooni is a Benin prince,how come his title meaning is more superior and no living or dead king takes his title name and he's the one who receives the head of departed Obas of Benin and not vice versa?Simple,in Africa,people are buried in their father's enclaves. So the neo-history by the late Oba offends African traditions,inconsistent and almost stands logic on its head.
My fear is that if this silent war doesn't end quickly, the Benin stool royalty will be exposed more and more as lying about its history and famed pride of place in history.Apparently,the Yoruba tried to resist doing this but for the late Oba's recalcitrance.
While I may agree that the edo people may be culturally independent but its Royalty is more likely of Yoruba origin.
Just like the Itsekiri whose Monarchy is Bini and accepts it for historical fact with the understanding that they by extension,are under the Ooni.
It's so sad but it's going to get messier as time goes on unless the Crown Prince does diplomatic resolution of the impasse.But will pride allow him?As good students of history,we are watching.
Interesting. Thank you.

Businessideas:
Thank you sir.
Firstly,those pictures and documents existed but were never released by custodians until the revered late Oba of Benin raised the dust.I am sure that people believe and know these enough historical evidences existed but they were deliberately withheld from the public out of respect for the Oba of Benin stool.Please kindly do a simple search to find these pictures sir.To assist you, search for
1.The picture of the Oba of Benin receiving the Queen of England.
2.The picture of the sacred place head of departed Obas of Benin are buried in Ile Ife.
3.The picture of the 5 First Class kings.
4.Documents showing historical rating of the kings and their pay based on their order and deep knowledge of the history of the whole of old Western Nigeria.
5.The reason for the Oba's appellation as "a descendant of a king "
6.The near absence of superior evidence to counter those already in public domain as provided by those opposing the re-writing of the history.
7.And reasonable inferences like:the meaning of the word "Oba" has its root in Yoruba language not Bini word.
8.The first Oba of Benin,Eweka, is the son of Oranmiyan, an Ile Ife prince, so it may most likely be the reason why the Oba's appellation of "Descendant of a King ".Which agrees with those opposing the revision of history.

However,we are all open to new information from both camps in order to broaden our knowledge so nobody will rise up in the future and attempt to distort history.
But for now, the Yoruba camp and recent admission of superiority by the Olu of Warri,who in history is regarded as a direct descendant of the Bini monarchy,which derived from the Yoruba, supports the Yoruba historical position.This probably explains why the expose may continue until the Benin royalty is courageous enough to correct the legacy of the departed Oba. I sense that the Yoruba royal establishment will continue to release more and more.
I agree with that. I will google those things you reference later, although I already know about all of them, even if I don't necessarily draw the same inferences from them as you do.

But let me ask, did you read this somewhat interesting take on the matter by Odia Ofeimun? I find he addresses the Oranmiyan issue squarely.

iamexcelblog:
Something tells me that this woman is innocent and went through a lot. That was why when that foool called Teebillz was ranting on social media, I quickly knew that she was innocent. I actually connected to her pains because she must have been through a lot. FYI, all those BS about Tiwa sleeping with 2face, Don Jazzy and Dr Sid is actually to dent the woman's image. It was the last kick TeeBillz had... to make sure that he dents her career before they separate. I have been through such before. When your opponents sees that he or she is loosing, they resort to hitting you below the belt and fighting dirty. They make up a lot of lies about you. But if you are emotionally strong, you will pull through dear.

Don't bother about what the future holds darling. Just try to live on. At least one thing is certain.... Your DOOR KNOB of a husband will not harass you again. Tiwa if you are reading this, just know that am actually sorry for what you are passing through. I know that you are a pure soul. Though you may have your imperfections as a human being, I know that you tried you best. Please never you go back to that abusive marriage again. Your happiness should be your utmost priority right now.... but who am I deceiving? I know your type. They like being hurt. So, there is every chance you may go back!
He he. I fit give you her phone number o. grin

it was bound to happen even before their wedding. they both have issues. Tiwa is an Olosho hustler while TeeBillz is a gold digger. just that overrated and ugly Tiwa is not a smart chick that she claims. she dull pass Sylvia Nduka.

A wife who is love struck enough to die for her husband
But I am not sure it's applicable in this instance.Oba lived and reigned to a ripe age, that's our prayers for all our elders and good kings.
Sadly,he would be remembered as the Oba who tried to re-vise history and in the process made his Yoruba brothers release pictures ,oral and documentary evidences we may never had seen or read about due to mutual respect and long held tradition of secrecy .
Where are the pictures and documentary evidences they released please?

That fact does not go to the credibility of the story. It only suggests (if you ask me, prove) that the man had not made up his mind to really kill himself. He wanted the drama, the attention, that comes with suicide but was quite unprepared to die. I already made a post on this somewhere in this thread.

According to an eye-witness named Chukwuma Ani, who witnessed the incident and was one of the men who pulled Teebillz off the bridge, he told LIB exclusively that around past 9 this morning while driving on the Lekki-Ikoyi toll bridge, a car hit his own from behind, damaging his car
So in your mind, (1) I didn't read that part, (2) That equals a phone chat.

OK.

pls sir, I think I hate the man Saraki more than you. You won't know what I am saying, but this is the reason I decided to be a lawyer. There is what is called presumption of innocence that is why, those BH people are referred to as suspects. It pains my heart that fair trial seems alien to u guys. I hate violation of fair hearing. It could happen to you one day when you have issue with rich man.
I agree. But isn't it Saraki and his people who have brought us here with their drawn out shenanigans? Even Lord Diplock would have lost his cool with these people!

Anyway, my real concern. What happens if the judge steps down? And whatever happens, can this same matter be taken to the high court by the FG/EFCC?
