Minjim: You finally exposed your failure in History. At least, if you want to argue about something courtesy demand you have a sound knowledge.
Benin people are offspring's of Oduduwa
Oduduwa has only 1 child named Okanbi. Okanbi died before Oduduwa but had 7 children. Among them is Oranyan (The 1st Alaafin of Oyo). Oranyan later ruled Benin & gave birth to Eweka I. He left Benin to found Oyo.
If we look at the relationship of Benin and Oyo empires, throughout the histories they never had any conflicts despite their strength and proximity to themselves. Benin empire ruled regions to the east and the south while the oyo empire ruled operated on regions to the west and north of their internal borders. Oyo empire controlled, even bullies territories under its borders except Ife, Benin does the same to its own and sends the Oba to be to Ife for confirmation (a practice stopped in the 19th, most probably due to the civil wars in Yorubaland), this shows that they both hold Ife in high regard. They both left the areas around ekiti as Ondo uncontrolled to serve as buffer region between them. These three points of relationship lasted for almost a thousand years between these two great empires. It shows they had an agreement that had been lost to ages, that Ife is their socio-political root. Bini story claims that Oduduwa was a prince of Benin that sent his son oranmiyan to rule in his stead. Some Yoruba claim that Oranmiyan was invited by the binis to settle disputes and rule, while other Yoruba claim that the king of benin was the eldest son of okanbi while oranmiyan was the youngest.
The real story is hidden among these different sides.
what you are doing now is to copy and paste and that means you are a failed researcher,false information, did I mention Oyo empire don't let emotion over shadow you.....you don't even know what you are saying self,I won't waste my time with you until you get a degree that is because you are sounding like someone who didn't attend secondary school more or less a university
sreamsense: Your generation has started the shame already even before February ending when your labouring in vain will be exposed. How long you have being in that generation shame already is what I can't tell? One thing I know is that by February after result announcement and obi loss, your inauguration into honour of generational shame will mark new calendar year of mumurism since Buhari won until Tinubu eight year ends
Zeddyzed: The problem is Obi's people paint him as a one of a kind governor when he obviously isn't one. Political opponents have found a weakness and it will be ruthlessly milked.
sreamsense: It is better we all become loosers to Tinubu with proven experience and good track record of performance than we all becoming loosers to Obi that is incompetent, full of fake statistics and with no tangible track record in Anambra to point to. Is obi and his members not already loosers who are just labouring in vain? February will prove that!
obi will win and the shame will be on all ur generation
anonymous1759: Obi-dents are all what they say people are . 1-Zombies 2- Bigot 3-Urchin 4-slowpoke 5-gullible 6-G0@ts 7-bullies 8-pi9s Etc I’ve never seen such deluded sets of craps. You want us to believe your Aspirant without manifesto ? You want us to trust everything he has inside his thoughts ? What kind of government that shields himself from criticism ?
If Obi wins Nigeria will turn upside down those people who claims everywhere is no mans land will eventually actualize their dream because their grand patron is there. They’ll claim all lands or dictate to the land owners.Obi will be Nepotism 2.0 for sure his campaign list says it all . The most annoying thing about obidents is that they still insult you if you burst their principal‘s lies that alone made me loose my support for them it shows they ain’t sincere either They just want power at all cost .
Hang your self if life don tire you Obi this obi that,suffer no the tire you,Adamawa is for obi
famouscargo4u: Tinubu would definitely win in Lagos but it won't be massive. Most people are yet to get their PVCs but I can tell you for free that so many will be denied the PVCs which is what they've been doing over the years.
Christistruth00: You don’t have a Clue about Yoruba or Benin History
Yoruba Oranmiyan was the first Oba of Benin
Case Closed !
Goodbye !
Lol!!!!!! Funny you.....oranmiyan was the son of the last ogiso dynasty from benin that was exiled to the Yoruba kingdom,the Benin sent for him when the need a new king...... Goodbye too hope I have lectured you well
Abdul05: Why did the same colonial masters that you mentioned left the establishment of the fulani rulership over the ndependent states as they met it ..
But decided to pull down the rulership of the Benin traditional rulers in lagos as you claimed
sebi you said you were taught history in biafra land...now explain....
Wetin ibo man apart from selling things here and there.....
the british where able to conquer the Fulani/Hausa because the have a central leader and their subjects behave like cows,so it was easy for the British unlike the Igbo's who are republicans in nature like the Greek,the British invaded Benin because their soldiers where killed..........
How come it was the Alaafin, the Egbas Of Abeokuta and the Ijebu that was Politically and Militarily in Charge
of all those Areas when the British Arrived
It was only Isale Eko on Lagos Island that had any affiliation with Benin
Even the Oba was of Yoruba Ancestry
lies from the pit of hell,Benin or the oba has no affiliation with the Yoruba kingdom,the have nothing in common,I stay in Benin,schooled from primary school level to university of Benin...no records shows that Benin has any relationship with Yoruba,what was stated was that the last ogiso dynasty was banished to Yoruba kingdom,who later sent his son to become the first oba of Benin kingdom
Unless you are claiming that Ile Ife owns Benin which no Ife or Yoruba person even Claims
By the way you do know that all of Metropolitan Lagos Including Iddo Island excepting Lagos Island alone was under the Egbas Of Abeokuta when the British Arrived
and Badagry plus Seme was under the Alaafin Of Oyo because you somehow manage to forget about their Kingdoms
Did I mention that everything East and North Of Lekki including Victoria Island belonged to the Ijebu who had the honour of driving the Benin Army out of Lagos sparing only a remnant at Isale Eko for kindred sake so as not to drive them into the Atlantic Ocean Completely ?
All these areas you mentioned were been conquered by the Benin empire and the pay royalties to the Benin kingdom until the invasion in 1897....do ur research mr man
Abdul05: Is there any sign or prove that Benin empire exists in Lagos...?
Where are the buildings that belong to Benin kindom here in Lagos..
if you passed through the university you would have known this by now,am sure you are a secondary school dropout,that's why you don't no about the history of Lagos before the colonial masters came
famouscargo4u: I will remind you again comes February 2023. It is delusional to think he'd win because of the inline frenzy. Are northern votes joke to you? Only Borno or Kano vote will cancel the while south east. South south will be shared with PDP as well . Kebbi, Kaduna, Jigawa and Zamfara votes wilt wipe out all the votes he can get in south west and south south. I am realist and not swayed by online polls.
Hahahaha see this one own you think northerns think like you,I served in the north,Adamawa precisely,I passed out last months most people in the north are voting for obi,majority of my northern friends I do call on phone from kano,bornu and kebbi said the prefer to vote for kwankwaso or obi,I asked them why not atiku the said he is a known thief and tinubu is too old,stop deceiving ur self because e go shock una
e pain am hahahaha As e dey pain you e go dey sweat me,na too just for you to remove ur brain give dogs make them chop because nothing dey inside again
1. Prof Chukwuma Soludo categorically state that Obi is the best repackaged fraud and monumental failure that worth next to nothing. He also asserted that Obi knows he won't come distant third and he knows we know that too He is doing his monthly job...but the silent majority will vote obi I'm pretty sure you don't know Obi more than his kinsmen? You aren't educated, smarter, well exposed than Prof Chukwuma Soludo right?
2. He has been addressing Nigerians with no manifesto in place? Biko who does that kwan? Even the so called saner climes you inferiority complex guys always make reference about do have Manifesto for their political offices.
3. Obi is a known PDP man whose boss is the presidential candidate of PDP. If truly you want a new Nigeria and not being sentimental and hypocritical about it then Obi is not an option. Let's try SDP, AA and what have you. These guys doesn't pay homage to the two leading political party unlike Obi who's part and parcel of PDP
4. I'm glad you accepted Obi doesn't have structure. Obi without structure cannot even win the election so there's no point educating you further on that
5. The last time i checked, you aren't Obi neither Tinubu nor Atiku doctor to have assumed one person is fit than the other. Besides, Obi was fit while he was a governor in Anambra. What did he do special than every other governors? Where are his achievements, antecedents and legacies running till date that speaks for him? Where are the people he worked with as a governor? Where are they?
6. Obi diverted the state resources into his family business. What will you call that please? That aside, the so called money some of you guys claimed he saved was just illusion. Savings isn't an investment. While would a sitting governor chose to save the state resources when there are projects, infrastructures to invest into? That's penny wise pounds foolish
7. Obi is one of the importer of groceries in Nigeria over 35 years at the detriment of our economy, currency and local goods. Driving down the value of our currency. The so called Obi who couldn't metamorphose into production like Dangote BUA, Adeleke etcetera. I believed charity begins at home. You can't give what you don't have. Obi cannot give Nigerians what he failed to give (a small state) his people
8. The same northerners Ndigbo hate with passion? The same northerners Ndigbo hate with every drop of their blood? The same northerners Ndigbo often call cow? The same northerners Peter Obi put one of their governor (elrufai) in house arrest claiming what does a fulani man want in Ndigbo state? The same northerners Obi sent packing to their states? Lol. You can only fool yourself not the northerners
9. Lol, The same youths Peter Obi killed as a governor of Anambra state during the MASSOB protest in 2006 and 2013 and throw their bodies inside the Ezu river? which candidate is alien to youths please? Which candidate hate the youths please?
10. Lol, Obi is not a biggot? Same Obi who has been throwing the religious card and sentiment? Same Obi who has turned the church to campaign ground? How many mosques has the so called Obi visited so far bikonu?
I leave you and your fellow obidience to una conscience, that is if una get any though
MadamExcellency: PETER Obi can easily be removed (resign or impeached) if he fails to perform to the expectations of Nigerians than the other Hulks contesting on the platform of APC or PDP, who would rather kill thousands if not millions to stay in power.
You think presidency is like governor,I wonder how some people like you passed through school
Quintopia: It Is childish to you, but 5 million Igbos are in Lagos for a reason.
Maybe if your people made their own cities look more like Lagos, you wouldn't need to move to Lagos.
and who told you Yoruba own Lagos,the Benin empire owns eko as it was formally called before the British came.....you see your illiteracy level won't allow you to research.........LAGOS DOES NOT BELONG TO THE YORUBA,IT BELONGS TO BENIN KINGDOM THROUGH CONQUEST
Quintopia: Soludo Must Arrange Some Skyscrapers For Onitsha
Even if it's just 2 or 3 to start with.
These days, in order to attract tourists and investors, as a state, you must show that your major city is on the upward trajectory, economically speaking, and nothing symbolizes that more than the presence of a nice, modern skyline, with a few skyscrapers placed strategically here and there.
SOLUDO, OVER TO YOU PLS. Lagos people no get 2 heads.
