This is why you guys are denied study visa because most of you plan on staying instead of returning back to your country after your studies. That means you practically lied or planning on lying to your interviewer about returning back to your home country upon the completion of your studies.

So where's the advice in this?

sassysure:
Close your mouth and pay respect to your kings if u are igbo.

Odiegwu!

AreaFada2:
My brother, there's no cover up. The facts are known.

Benin culture is that Oba is born as a crown prince. Once Oba, he remains one, no matter what. The status of Crown Prince or Oba can only be removed by death.

Dying as a crown prince is so rare that there's even a proverb. A crown prince never dies as a crown a prince.

Therefore, to care for the royal family, over 500 years ago, the Guild of Royal Physicians and Astrologers (Ewaise) became very well established in Benin. In the 1440s. Alongside over 30 other Royal professional guilds. Compare that to the Royal College of Physicians of England founded in 1518.

When the British came to Benin in 1553, when they saw the organisation, government, city plan, level of hygiene, protective moats and ramparts and compared it with London, Paris, Lisbon, Amsterdam and Madrid, they called it Benin-City.

I concur with your write-up. Even though it is very far from the discussion at hand.
Your kingship is hereditary, that's understandable! But it does not necessarily mean that a king who occupies the throne at a particular time cannot be dethroned, It is very possible. What I understand is not possible is installing another king when the ruling king is still alive. Hence, there can't be 2 kings in the kingdom even if the ruling king is exiled.

sassysure:
U speak like one of those who don't know the name of their town or how to get to their town if they are told to home. No pun intended
U are very wrong.
Igbos have kings.
U don't know your history if u are an igbo guy.
My town has a king. So also any town I know in igboland and are highly revered.

And lots of people are aware of obi of onitsha.

The difference is that they have nothing to do with politics and are not attention seeking.

Wonder where nollywood get the king depiction it always play in most of its movies from if not in igboland.

U talk carelessly like u know everything about Igbos.
Do Igbos have Kings? YES!

Do Igbos have a King? NO!

Get that into Ur head!

sassysure:
Who told u that?
From lagos ibadan papers or from your grand fathers?


A big misconception that people who hardly go home cling to.

Go and know where u came from.
Lagos is not your home

Nnamdi Kanu's father is my village king. Lemme remind u that his kingship until his death was between him and his family.
God himself naturally created Igbos not to be controlled which is easily the reason why we excel all over the world, including in crime!

AreaFada2:
But the write-up left something important out. To the Benin, he was still the Oba of Benin. Only just in exile. He was never replaced on the throne. It was impossible. The crown prince only became Oba in 1914 after Oba Ovonramwen passed on in Calabar, In most other places, his brother, cousin or even his son would have yielded to the British desire to be a puppet King. Not in Benin.

Dethroning means to relieve a king of its duties, it does not further state that another must be crowned.
In other words, Oba of Benin was dethroned because he was forcefully taken out of his palace into exile and never returned, his people only chose to stick with their dethroned and exile king until his death!

AfroKnight:
Lol perhaps the people in Onitsha are idomas then, not igbos. See talk.

Don't get me wrong bro. Onitsha is simply a part of Igbo land.
Meanwhile, Igbo in general is a tribe of its own, and we do not have a king that rules over us!

Got me now?

phayvoursky:
This op should get his facts checked. Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi was never dethroned but exiled. While in exile he was still King of Benin.

Benin and Edo people can't have 2 Kings alive.

Do you even know the meaning of the word

"DETHRONE"

baralatie:
they want to have heart Attack because of it.Oba of Benin was replaced o!They should go and read what the British Royal did.
it was not funny

There was a serious war on Twitter yesterday in regards to this issue. I dedicated a lot of time yesterday reading about every recognised King in Nigeria. Oba of Benin was for sure dethroned!

They should just accept that fact!

AfroKnight:
Don’t exaggerate na. So Igbos have no king, but obi of Onitsha is what? A class captain? Baba calm down.

He's a king only in Onitsha, we Igbos have no King!

Unbiased1:
Non from Igbo land
The Obi of Onitsha and those of Nnewi communities must be very disciplined people not to have been dethroned since 1445 and 1500s

Igbo eweghi Eze!

We don't have king

onyekabe:
Oba of Benin was never detroned he was taken to exile while in exile he was still the king of Benin people until after his death the Benin people mourn his as their king before crowning his son

Dethroning does not necessarily mean another must be crowned.
Once you're a king and you're forcefully taken out of your kingdom, my brother that's called dethronement!

I understand u guys are trying so hard to cover up for him Shah!

Agbons1991:
Get your fact right, Oba of Benin was never dethroned, rather he was taken to calaber by the British....


But still remained the king of Benin till his death..


No one occupied his throne while he was still alive..


You just don't wake up to make statements without getting your facta right.

Sanusi was dethroned and replaced by another emir.

There's a difference. Bro.

Check the word "Dethrone" in the dictionary and come back here to edit your comment!

I can't find our king there. I mean Eze I.O Kanu, Nnamdi Kanu's father

valarmorghulis:
Abacha removed emir of kano during his regime, u need to read more bro

Which of the Abacha bro?
The looting Abacha or another Abacha?

RaptorX:
No apartment anywhere in America is better than this, so go tell that story somewhere else.

Calm down bro, u never see anything for this life!
This is the kind of houses some rich men's maid live in. E.g Ibrahimovich (Chelsea FC owner)

philos:
This remains vanity upon vanity.
It doesn't add anything to the owner's true substance.
Indeed, "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" (Shakespeare, 5.5.24-28)
There's more to life, than endless material acquisition.
MAN, KNOW THYSELF.

Even Shakespeare won't reject this type of Vanity

timilehin007:
Be careful of what you wish for..you may eventually get it o

Those people that got it, how many of them wished for it?

BLESSICA:
please guys who is ready to give me money in exchange for my pussy, I have not done this before but I just don't know what to do anymore than this

Seems there's shortage of Yahoo boiz in your location

Sdgh

A fish with it's mouth closed never get caught!

Gradually, our education system is changing. Private schools are now taking over with their outrageous fees. Soon, Govt schools in this country will fade off entirely!

All you mentioned is almost the lifestyle of a typical Nigerian...

Lord, when will you remember Abia State?

Hgh

Was it the Mod that opened the link for you?
