Isele uku originated from bini. One son of d oba of Benin in d olden days slept with one of oba's wife so he was banished from Benin and he settled in Isele uku. That's why d king in Isele uku dresses like d oba of Benin. Blf this king was installed he spent 1yr in d palace blf he can be crown king. I hope I av answered ur question cos am married from Isele Uku from d royal family

Boleyndynasty2:
God bless his pocket. Nigerian Government don't have time to think about anything other than stealing for their children and their generations yet unborn.

francisbiz:
The natives are more confused about their history than online details.
Ask the natives, they will easily tell you that they are from Benin, But I know it;s a big fallacy.
The natives have memory of their true history have been affected by the virus of the depression from prolonged slavery by the conquering expansionist Binis.

The will not do research, only relying on folktales, it is same confusion everywhere in Africa; binis say yoruba came from benin, youruba say binis came from yoruba. fulanis say they are arabs, igbos say they Jews.

The Issele-uku and environs are igbos that were conquered and ruled by the binis. Yes, some families in that region are from benin, but majority of them are igbos. I learnt one thing from the nairaland tribal war between the BROWN-ROOFS AND THE FLAT-HEADS; the yorubas in nairaland made know that some igbo women have bears and I have also seen it among issele-uku women.

masseratti:
I can't help but notice the similarities between the obi regalia and the oba of benin regalia,Benin empire truly influence and transcend a lot of ethnic groups,
I don't like the idea of monarchs btw.

YourNemesis:
lol, I see both Benin and Yoruba culture here...Lmao
His staff of office is that of a Yoruba Oba
While is Regalia is Fully Benin.

Obviously... Aniomas seem to be only partially Igbo.
The other half is Benin.

Which makes them an entirely distinct group of their own.

BornStunner1:
NICE SEEING THE SPREAD OF THE GREAT BENIN EMPIRE AND CULTURE ALL ROUND NIGERIA
LONG LIVE THE OBI........ MORE PROSPERITY TO ALL EDIOD KINGDOMS IN NIGERIA AND BEYOND!!

THE OBI WAS IN THE OBA OF BENINS PALACE LAST WEEK TO CONFIRM HIS LEGITIMACY

OBA GHA TO KPEHE Iseeeee!!!!

fratermathy:
You are right. The Benin empire, at its heyday, influenced all the ethnic groups in Delta State and even went as far as Onitsha in Anambra State and Lagos City.

Issele-Uku kingdom has no quarrel with their Benin roots. This king visited the new Oba, as his fathers did, to confirm his legitimacy.

Cire80:
The Kingdom was founded by Benin. Go there and ask the natives about their history, don't depend on what you read from online.

martineinstein:
and one ipob will claim delta ibos are ibos..when we can clearly see Benin culture

Ovamboland:
Why must your exit or stay in Nigeria option be entirely dependent on what Yoruba choose to do? Is your conviction for a new country so weak? Why should you expect other people to display hatred for others because that is your own stock in trade? If you really want your country go and ask how the Americans got freedom from UK and learn from them, or closer home study south Sudan, Eritrea and then develop your strategy. Expecting another group to do your thinking and strategy for you is recipe for failure.
Hope you don't bank on the rest of Nigeria supplying you with sustenance as part of your current strategy

And you forgot tell us why the old kabba province is reduced to slavery under the leadership of igalas and ibiras in the last 25yrs of kogi existence since 1991 no kabba province or precisely the OKUNS have never ruled in kogi, and to even add more salt to their injury,All the so called scholarship earners were begging to work under primary school cert in lokoja, because they were made to believe that they are minority slave to igalas, even faleke an old kabba province indigene lost to the Fulani northern cabal even when audu won an election, the northern cabal had First information of his death but callously ceeded the governorship to the ibiras "their stool and puppet" so ilorin was a DISASTER TO THE OLD KABBA PROVINCE and even offa and environs as the glory of offa is gone, The AFONJA alignment to Fulani is a disaster.

Oh wow! I didn't know that. Plus I said 'may not'. Thanks! That's very good to know. A trip to Jamaica just wasn't it for me.

So it is officially the highest grossing Nigerian movie ever. Very good.

PPAngel:
It is one thing to have the infrastructure up and running and it is another thing to have the required designation for the port.

Just like Airports, categorization determines the capacity of the port.

Enugu Airport was just recently categorized as an international airport which will see that international carriers operate in and out of the port.

If the same FG refuses to categorize the sea ports in the SE coastline for importation but rather maintains them as mere oil tanker jetties and export ports then little can be achieved economically for the SE ports of Warri, Calabar, Port Harcourt and even the yet to be constructed Ibaka port.

This is where the opposition lies and there is every indication that the SW selfishly opposes this, while the north is afraid of any major developmental stride in the SS and SE without them because as things stand with the GDP from these regions a sea port is bound to further enrich these state.

There is also the conspiracy of the French concessioned owners of Tin Can Container port who currently enjoy a monopoly in the business. Opening up another port to the east will surely reduce traffic to their port.

macjive01:
all these ports are shallow ports.

freeze001:
He is from Ika in Delta State, check for yourself. Igbos are spread out in other states occasioned by haphazard creation of states however, ignorant or deliberately deceitful Nigerians act like Igbos are limited to the 5 SE states so that's why I made that point clearly.

Yujin:
Lol. You're yet to really understand what he said and meant. Glossing over it at present will only shock you when it matters most. You have a slim chance of ever getting back Illorin to mainstream Yorubaland. Very slim chance at present. Go back and read his previous posts clearly.

omofunaab:
Lol, do you know why it was agreed that kwara should be in the north central?

Dont you think yorubas are benefiting in having one of their states in the north central geo political zone?

Bukola saraki, a Yoruba man is being reffered to as a northerner, today a Yoruba man is the Senate president based on that arrangement

Many yorubas in ilorin have access to ahmadu Bello university today because they agreed to be in the north central zone.

Dr olushola saraki was a wise man

freeze001:
Senator Udo Udoma (Akwa Ibom) is now Igbo; Godwin Emefiele (Delta State) is also Igbo...that is d mindset of the average or deliberately deceitful northerner. That is how Buhari said he had appointed an Igbo man MD of NNPC so what else does the Igbo man want. How long did d Igbo man hold said position? Is that not why the substantive confirmation and appointment of another 'Igbo' man as CJN is being messed with? When it is time, they suddenly remember the difference between SS and SE yet some premature goats will be here asking why they are doing by force relationship....

Ngozi123:
Ignore him. You will see him in all of the Igbo bashing threads, hiding behind his "I'm not Yoruba" defence as if that means anything. He's too afraid to tell people his ethnicity- for what reason, goodness knows . It's a shame that a so called African man can't boldly claim his tribe in this day and age but oh well...

Btw, if he responds to your post, could you please direct him to my post above? It's important that he knows that he mustn't mention me ever again.

hammerT:
Nigeria is not a Zoo? I ask u again, all those fresh corpses in southern Kaduna that nobody acknowledges were once living breathing human being, are 4 entertainment?

Even that much cow cannot be killed without questions asked. Did u miss it on the front page or ur hatred 4 igbos meant that only thread with the word igbo on it that attract ur attention?

The problem we have in this country is lawlessness and people choosing to apply the law wen it suits them.

Further, we have wat is known as the principle of separation of power, is the Deji encompassing both the Judicial function and Executive function?

Do we have customary courts in this country? There is no justification for the mannerism in which both the Deji and Oba conducted themselves.

There behaviour is more of a street thug than royal. This begs the question of wat are the criteria applied to select Deji and Oba?

In the aforementioned scenario, it is apparent that the Deji is criminally culpable for an indictable offence in comparision to the Oba of Lagos.

I further learnt that his predecessor murdered his wife via inflicting mortal wounds on her.

The only reason u are here justifying the action of the Deji is becos Nigeria is under an unannounced Marshal law.

IPOB were right to refer to Nigeria as a Zoo. Do u see the corpses from Southern Kaduna murders by Fulani?

Has anybody said anything on that including the President? I guess it is justified too. Yet u want One Nigeria to continue inspite of calamity it holds.

Ngozi123:
You seem obtuse so I'll refrain from mentioning you any more. There was no need for you to call out Igbo women as no Igbo woman came here to insult you and/or Yoruba women in general and I'm sure that you're quite aware of that. The fact that you did highlights your inferiority complex quite clearly . I don't want to go into it as it's pretty conspicuous and there is no argument to be had here.

Goodbye.

Vote for Ambode or Perish Inside the Lagoon, Oba akiolu Tells Igbos | ThisDay Newspapers | April 6th 2015 |

....“On Saturday, if anyone of you, I swear in the name of God, goes against my wish that Ambode will be the next governor of Lagos State, the person is going to die inside this water.

“I’m not ready to beg you. Nobody knew how I picked Ambode. Jimi (Agbaje) is my blood relation and I told him that he cannot be governor in Lagos for now. The future belongs to God. I am not begging anybody, but what you people cannot do in Onitsha, Aba or anywhere, don’t do it here.

“If you do what I want, Lagos will continue to be prosperous for you. If you go against my wish, you will perish in the water.”

The monarch said anybody against Ambode did not wish the state well, adding, “I am for the progress, growth and development of Lagos. Ambode is highly cerebral, he’s a symbol and he is going to deliver the message which I, the Oba of Lagos, have said. And he will govern the state for another eight years....

In his response, the Eze-Ndigbo of Amuwo-Oriade, Dr. Gordian Dimojiaku, promised Akiolu that the Igbos in the state would support Ambode.

“The mistake of last Saturday was caused by everybody, not only the Igbos. It is not only the Igbos that were responsible for the votes. But we have learnt our lesson. Saturday’s election is going to be a different thing and Ambode is going to win.

“Everybody knows that when you fail the first time, you cannot afford to fail again. We are going to tell our people that Ezes from the 20 local governments and 37 local council development areas are here and that we have sworn with the Oba that we are going to make sure that Ambode wins next Saturday’s election,” he said.

Oba Akiolu’s statement was jocularly to his Igbo friendsOba Akiolu’s ‘Death Threat’ Against Igbos Was An Honest Joke – Atueyi’ ON APRIL 10, 2015 | 3:44 AM

A Lagos-based lawyer Chukwudi Atueyi, who was present at the meeting between the Oba of Lagos Rilwan Akiolu and some Igbos where he made the infamous ‘death threat’, yesterday, gave an account of what transpired at the meeting.

According to Atueyi, the uproar was uncalled for as the Oba’s statement was not directed at the whole Igbos in Lagos but he spoke jokingly to his Igbo friends that visited him.

“All the Eze Ndi Igbo honorary in Lagos went to pay HRM solidarity visit on Sunday and I was fortunate to be among those present at the said meeting. What the Oba said was fully and simply directed to only the Igbos present at the meeting who his majesty considers to be very close to him and should understand him well enough.

“You know when one talks to his very close friends and subjects, he tends to be very free with them, so he was being very free with those present at the meeting and wanted us to realize how serious and close he takes us and our votes, because he cannot imagine us giving him our words only to turn back and do the very opposite.

“He did not force us to the meeting, we were the ones that went to him on solidarity visit, so it would be very evil of us to only go and deceive him there. He only jokingly (at least as it appeared to me then) warned the people present at the meeting who he considers his own people. The said warning that we are supposed to be very conversant with since we have all the[b] “Ëze Ndi Igbo”[/b] present there, as that was not the first time we visited him. We are all already aware of the Yoruba culture and understood perfectly what he meant. There was no specific place he referred to all the Igbos in Lagos.

“He was only addressing the Igbos with him present there whom he considers his own people and he simply observed his culture which we all quite understood and this explains why there was applause and laughter at the end of his speech. We were expected to, thereafter, talk to our people in civilized manner to convince them and canvass for their votes if we truly believe we are capable of doing so.

“The tradition of lagoon water threat was directed only to those present at the meeting as culture demands. Though he appeared serious but we all understood it as a joke, that was why we all applauded him and made fun of it there.
