This matter is being overflogged for political propaganda in an infantile attempt to espoused a nuanced narrative that the palace and tinubu are at war.....far from it.....the oba has made his clarification and everyone appreciates his elucidation of the matter as the paramount custodian of Benin culture and so be it.....the installation by Sade tinubu is purely a social affair and nothing more.

Stop masking ignorance with grandiloquence. Who told you it is a social formation? Are you not aware that the market women were already being asked to pay certain levies? It is a fraudulent scheme designed to subjugate a people politically, culturally and financially. Thank goodness, they aren't bowing to the invasion.

Edo state has its market leadership system like every state in the federation. But the greedy aliens are attempting to test the waters with Edo, before applying it across the country. Good thing is that other states will be at alert now that Edo has sensibly rejected it. Market leadership is local! It has never been national. Even within Benin, as stated the Oba, each market has its totally independent leadership. No one market answers to another. It has been like this and there has never been any conflicts.

Why then does an outsider think something should change about this? Greedy usurpers!

PlayerMeji:
It's just like saying in Benin, the position of President is alien to you....

Now, I dont hold briefs for Iyaloja but saying something is alien to your culture is not an excuse for its acceptance.or denial.

You are not making any sense. Silence isn't a crime. . How about the Binis introduce Iyeki to Lagos markets?

Both Umahi and Rufai deserved each other. Two arrogant, uncouth, mouthy, hawkish peacocks turning a simple interview into an ego battle. I wish they were in the same room physically, then they would have settled it with their fists since neither of them was being reasonable.

You would be biased to think that either of them was professional.

Marriage of six months, ends in death.

Had been that someone told him to leave her then, but will he listen. We wouldn't be seeing his untimely death.

If there is a troubling reason to cancel a wedding at the last minute, I always advise the worried party to cancel it. Being single until you get it right is not a crime. Manage am, manage am, na so angel take dey marry satan. This counsel applies to both male and female.

What a tearful end!

Commentor:
Is the US at war?

Why the number of deaths everyday?

Why is the president moving in military from city to city as if it's a 3rd world country?

One massacre on a single day in Nigeria dwarfs one calendar year of mass shootings in the US. Show me any incident in the US where an entire town was raided leaving hundreds dead and hundreds more kidnapped unhindered. Show me! Show me! But just Google Benue, Plateau, Borno, Southern Kaduna alongside the word "massacre"...your thirst will be quenched beyond imagination.

Stop supporting evil!!!!

The response is very unprofessional. One would have expected him to provide a valid legal justification for the demolition. No, he quickly takes the easy, pedantic, pedestrian route laid with tribal bigotry and bitter politics. What a shame! It is obvious now that most of his demolition exercises are politico-tribal supremacy onslaughts.

Ttalk:
It is SanwoOlu I blame for all these nonsense that is being thrown at Lagos. Lagosian must chose someone who will protect the interest of the state in the next election

Lagos is like New York where all nations congregate to pursue their dreams. However the kind of ethnically homogeneous Lagos that you advocate will lead to its ruins. A president is coming that will give you the narrow Lagos of your choice. Then it will become another Kano, Ibadan or Uyo.

I detest Nigerian unions. Their fights are always for selfish gains. NLC is chief amongst them.

Idle mind na devil workshop

For many years, Nigerians voted for and insisted on leaders who would share the national cake, not leaders who would use our natural resources to develop goods and services for the world...which means lots of jobs for everyone.

This is the result. More religious and ethnic tension.

We better stop looking at oil, and looking at what we have and how we can use it to make stuff the world needs, then there would be no idle hands for the devil to pick up...eventually.

Stop deflecting. Someone isn't doing his job, simple. All this trying to sound objective and intelligent is pure farce.

Judge gave 8 October una rush come 6 October no be juju be that...a lawyer engaging in criminal activities..nawaoh

It is very annoying that a lawyer will be acting this recklessly. He is trying to get on the judge's nerves. He will face severe consequences for this.

Tinubu, senate if you are listening, Nigerians need the right to bear arms. All these nonsense will stop when everyone is armed to the teeth

With the abysmal level of illiteracy and mental retardation all over the place, you think it is wise to let everyone own a firearm. I laugh. You will abandon that your house in no time. This jungle will become a warzone.

I can't forget the night a man pulled out a gun and began shooting over a minor road traffic dispute. We were all turning our vehicles like mad men. If anything, the US gun crisis should teach you a lesson. That's a supposedly enlightened society o.

Not defending Wike, I think he spoke about Abuja's security in comparison to other cities in Nigeria. Now on this basis, is he factually correct? If everyone is talking about comparing Abuja's present security situation ot its past, that's a totally different angle all together.

In comparison to other states, is Wike wrong? I know everyone hates Wike. But about this one, you may want to show us a Nigerian city that is doing better security-wise.

Someone asked a Simple question
See how you reacted

He asked a dumb question, not a simple one. That question came from a place of envy, not curiosity. Are you also asking who he is?

Okoroawusa:
Who is he?

Envy is a disease. I can bet everything that Bliss has affected more lives than you will ever do in your entire lifetime. And I believe say you even senior am sef. Envy!

God help us, hope this thing doesn't escalate to ww3

Who is fighting who? You think Hamas will cause a world war? Yeah, that's how everyone thought bombing Iran would. But here we are, it's all silent over there now. Even Russia can't ignite a world war.

No country wants an all-out war in modern times. They only pick on a victim and bully them into submission. Russian versus Ukraine, China versus Taiwan, US versus Venezuela, Israel versus Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen, Saudi Arabia versus Yemen... Welcome to modern times, countries prioritize enjoyment above everything.

IDF don't want the kids to be orphans with nobody to feed them.

They decide to take whole family trip to paradise.

Such a kind gesture from IDF

Kai!!!!!!! I wan go sleep.

My initial impression of the road was that as you ply it, you would be having a view of the Atlantic Ocean from your starting point in Lagos to the end of the highway in Calabar.
But now that it's diverting to landlocked States, is it still "coastal?"

Which states are landlocked?

See as ladies full front seat . Men are the prize.

Women have a very short shelf life on the marriage market. Most of them aren't humble enough to accept this reality until 30 hits them like a hurricane.

The scam Tinubu and Buhari pull out to remove Oga Jona. Scam of the century

It is the greatest scam ever executed against a sitting Nigerian president.

Zabilon007:
His money, his business, his choices... Let him spend as he wills. He doesn't hold any public office.
Besides, How far with Emefiele?

As in the matter tire me. See the way they are scrutinizing a private citizen for spending his money his way. Unless it is established that he defrauded the bank to make the purchase, civil societies should shut the hell up and face public officers.

I am particularly bemused by one lunatic who said, in the report, that he should not have made such an expensive acquisition in a time when many Nigerians are struggling. This is the most foolish opinion I have read this year. Has there ever been a time when Nigerians were not struggling? So he expects a private businessman to pause his good life because some people are struggling? Madness of an opinion!

If GOD lift you, nor enjoy, share the money for road, you hear, adviser.

Mikaliav:
Their name alone na terror. Which one be jihad? If you hear this name in a gathering you no go run?

It is a way to live in the consciousness of their overall goal of overthrowing western civilization.

Now you see why Islamists are not allowed to breathe well in India, Nepal, Russia and China.

Allee90:
So it is now confirmed Christians are minorities in Nigeria?

....in the North. Maybe you should learn to read within context.

MaiDeribe:
Netenyahu should be arrested, the world has to abide by the international criminal court ICC.

Tears are just beginning. Save your tears for later. The real deal hasn't begun. Wait until Hamas rejects Trump's peace proposal. Na there una go know wetin be hell. Terrorists deserve hell!!! Hell they will get!!!

ChiefOloye:
Are you sure you understand what read or you just allowed Sahara to use your head?
The Oba didn't say she is not Iyaloja, "Iyaloja" is a Yoruba word, the Benin variant is "iyeki" which implies that Mrs. Folashade could be referred to as Iyeki General, while she on the soil of Benin Kingdom. That's neither rejection nor confrontation, as Sahara wants you to believe, but a simple call for cultural respect and acceptance.

You have a comprehension challenge. Reread the article and come back with an informed contribution. The oba just cautioned Tinubu’s daughter that in Benin each market is independently headed by a leader called Iyeki, as against Iyeki-general ish that the usurper is attempting to impose.

All the markets in Benin do not have a centralized leadership structure. Each market leadership interacts with the palace individually. Have you learned something?

Morenikeji090:
lol that weak ass they play Jona can never win presidential election again till his death.

Why then are your people jittery instead of ignoring him if he wasn't relevant? Joke is you. Justify your pay as usual.

Morenikeji090:
Disturb only those who don’t know how politics play.. if Jona dare try it he will loss woefully don’t cap…

In a free and fair election, Jonathan will use both Tinubu and Wike to mop the electoral floor. Stop deceiving yourself. APC knows why they've been releasing statements back to back since Jonathan began appearing too visible politically.
