Hello all,

I got this general email sent out by GTbank and it makes me wonder

1. If this is false why bother sending this out to all your customers?

2. Will this not draw more attention to the law suite which in this same email GTBank claimed they dont normally like commenting on? It like they are contradicting the,mselves by sending this out

3. If someone made false claims that the court ordered you to pay if you know its not true then why bother?

I am not taking sides here just asking questions anyone fee free to share your opinion



[b]RE: False Reporting of Court Proceedings Concerning GTBank

Lagos Nigeria – June 11, 2018

The attention of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (“the Bank”) has been drawn to false, mischievous and malicious statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported directive by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make payments to one of its debtor Customers.

The Bank’s Customers and the General Public are hereby kindly urged to disregard these false statements as nothing could be further from the truth. There was no directive or Order issued by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make any payment to any of its debtor Customers.

The Bank as a highly responsible corporate citizen will in accordance with its culture and tradition refrain from making comments about on-going litigation matters and will continue to focus on using legal means to recover its bad debts. It must be emphasised that the Bank remains undeterred in its recovery drive against recalcitrant debtors.

We again reiterate that there is no iota of truth in the falsehood being peddled by desperate and mischievous elements and the General Public should disregard same in its entirety.

The Bank remains committed to providing best-in-class customer experience to all its valued Customers.

We thank you for your continued support and patronage.

Yours faithfully,

For: Guaranty Trust Bank Pl[/b]c

His conclusion is the desire of every Nigerian. I don't see what you find wrong in that

Read it again pls

"A leader who panders to the political fancies of the hawks of his home region is not what Nigeria, a multinational entity, needs. What we need is a leader who will unite us by giving every section of Nigeria a sense of belonging and equal partnership."

omenka:
Wow! This MKO stuff really cut these guys deeper than I thought!

Coming from one of theirs who could pass for an educated and enlightened man, I am really taken aback by this overt display of unbridled hate and jealousy.

What a shame!

obonujoker:
Very good... Buh this can't happen in Lagos because clowns from Osun, Oyo, Ekiti etc will come and be claiming Lagosians, instead of going back to their states of origin....

deantimes:
Fake account

Here's Fayemi verified account

I'm surprised FFK could fall for this without first verifying the tweet.

Lalasticlala, mynd44 I call your attention to this.

Your people spawned an amazing civilization that all Africans can and SHOULD be proud of

Its highly reminiscent of Rome to me

I have always been proud of Benin from time immemorial

I also am partly Edo, I mean I was born in Edo lands and grew up around your folk.. So it will be sacriledge for me to be enemy of the land of my birth

The arguement is because our fathers never wrote down their histories

We were an oral history people

Lost in translation

I also plan on stealing some cool ideas from the ancient Edo Kingdom

Some gems you Edos have forgotten about

Thats how you build civilization

If I succeed you will all hear and see the things I speak of

make you enjoy this one.. Just got it from my research..

"Eastern Yorubaland also felt the impact of its powerful eastern neighbor, Benin. When Benin invaded Ekiti between 1818-1823, the aim was to quell provincial revolt and regain control over the region’s economy. Indeed by reasserting control over the trade routes, which linked it with Yorubaland, Benin strengthened the position of its long distance traders, the Ekhengbo (from Ekhen Egbo) (ekhen, traders; egbo, forest). Akure and Benin traditions agree that the invasion of Akure was precipitated by a commercial dispute following an attack on a Benin tobacco trader, Ogonto, who was accused of violating an Akure law. Even though the information is scanty, it is possible to situate the Benin invasion at this time and the economic dispute at its root, within the context of the rise in the supply of slaves by the wars in Yorubaland and Hausaland. Benin traders would have desired to tap into the northern Yoruba slave fields as well as send foreign goods into the interior. They would have also wanted alternative markets, even if temporary, to counterbalance the disruptive effect of the Nupe political crisis on Benin’s trade with the Niger. Consequently, Benin soldiers, under Ologbosere Imaran and Ezemo Erebo, carried out punitive expeditions, which left so much destruction that the fear of Benin lingered on till the early years of colonial occupation. Several Ekiti, Akoko and Owo towns were sacked and in them were created Benin colonies under the Balekale (consuls).
With the victory, Benin reasserted its control over trade in Ekiti, Owo and Akoko, and Benin enclaves in Owo, Akure, Ikere and Ado-Ekiti became the nexus of trade between Benin and Yorubaland. Both Akure and Idanre traditions agree that owing to Benin commercial activities, a nineteenth century ruler, Deji Gbogi and an influential woman, Olokoju both of Akure founded Alade village/market (near Idanre) as a meeting point for Ekiti, Idanre, Ondo, Owo, Ijebu, Benin and Ijesa traders. Imported items such as guns, salt and metal implements from Benin were sold as far as Ilesa, Ekiti and Ilorin. This earned the Ekhengbo the distinction of being called the “first long-distance traders in Ekiti.” Although the Akure king’s list seems to put Igbogi in an earlier century, the reference to the importation of guns would put his reign in the mid-nineteenth century. Most significant was that commercial metal products point to the position of Akure as a regional market.

Immigrants into Ekiti also included traders, soldiers, administrators and their dependants from Benin. These colonists set up farm in the forest straddling the Akure-Idanre border and occupied what is now called the Ọgbọn Ado (Edo quarter) of Ado-Ekiti. Similarly slaves captured by the Benin from some Ado villages and some refugees were settled at Ikere where they established Ogotun, Afao, Are, Iluomoba and Agbado quarters, all named after their previous towns."

I ask for name of Ekaladheran's deranged popsy's name, not for SARS. .

Whats name of your ogiso whose chiefs bleeped his queen?

davidnazee:
I will assume that you and your fellows here are representing the Yoruba race and as such I feel sorry for Yoruba people. A people so cowardly and deluded with no pride trying to distort history just to feel good.
Other tribes read the same documents we read and also knows African history.. they will be laughing at you yorubas at your desperate attempt to change what’s documented down. If you like tell your children to write in exams that Portuguese got to Lagos before Benin, Na failure and repeat go be their portion lol.

As I said earlier, your future generations will come to read history as it was documented, “Great Benin conquered and rule vast parts of Yoruba lands”.. History and documents awaits them.

samuk:
So you agreed that Lagos was a Benin colony and protectorate with a throne, just as Nigeria later became British colony and protectorate.

Obalufon:
Benin was on a trading expedition to Ghana as i read they were attacked by the aworis for stepping foot on their soil the discoloration was halted they turned back to benin after getting to Benin they narrated the story to oba benin , oba sent his son ado a renown warrior with his elite soldier to attack Lagos as reprisal for the insult on him when the aworis cited ado they knew he was a prince and ife from his regalia they offer to make ado the king of lagos being a lineage of oduduwa ..ado could spaek yoruba fluently

samuk:
You are all over the place and unable to make up your mind. You manufacture your version of history on the go.

You said European didn't get to Africa till 1500, when I pointed you to the fact that they were already in Benin by 1485, you are now saying they got to Lagos before Benin, how would you know that if you didn't even know when Europeans first arrived Africa. When European got to Lagos, Lagos was under and part of Benin Kingdom, itsekiri was part of Benin Kingdom with Benin city as capital.

BabaRamota1980:
Really You schooled in North and see Yoruba converting to Hausa and fulani?

But the prince of fulani prostrated and greet king of Yoruba in Oyo. Abi you no know? Would you like to see Prince Sanusi prostrating to greet Alaafin?

.

Edo and fabricated lies is like rice and chicken stew. Great combination!

Obalufon:
Lagos was in contact with Portuguese by Prince Henry the Navigator before benin , Portuguese heard of benin from the itskeiris i doubt if João Afonso de Aveiromade made it to benin

davidnazee:
The only truth is Oduduwa is an Edo son.. his real name is Ekhaladeran..
Edo people conquered and ruled parts of Yoruba lands and people..
The British freed Yorubas from Edo’s rule (Yoruba was too weak to resist)
Any other stories you will give is false and an attempt by you to feel good with yourselves but I will never allow that. I’m here to torture you with the truth.

Lord Nama-Oru and his people made their way from Upper Egypt first to the Lake Chad region and then to the Bussa (Buassa) and Nupe regions on the middle Niger. It was here that they made a temporary home (The Borgu Kingdom). Other key actors who have been remembered as ancestors include Prince ADUMU (ADIMU, a.k.a. Oduduwa) eldest son to Lord NAMA-ORU and his close companion and Priest ASARA. While Nama-Oru died at Bussa and Asara remained permanently at Bussa, Prince Adumu led a group of explorers to explore the southern forest lands down to the Lower Niger, and eventually choose the Ife region as a place to establish a permanent kingdom. But already established in the land, in scattered communities were the Kwa (Ugbo, Ooyelagbo) who had arrived somewhat earlier within the same timeframe from an earlier settlement between the Niger/Benue confluence. While some of these earlier settlers welcomed the newly arrived and supported the foundation of a city-state, others opposed it. Thus the stage was set for the legendary war that gave birth to the first City State in the southern savannah region of West Africa.
The City-state of Otu-Ife, later to be known as Ile-Ife was founded through the warfare of two opposing factions. The opposing factions were not strictly ORU PEOPLE verses the KWA (OOYELAGBO), but ORU and OOYELAGBO people fighting against other OOYELAGBO people. Tradition maintains that the immediate cause of the war was to oppose the new kingdom, but also to overthrow some form of misrule or maladministration of the previous form of governance.

The establishment of the new city was opposed by certain sections of the OOYELAGBO communities led by the chief OBATLA priest remembered as ORELUERE, who argued that since it was they who arrived first, the king of the new city must be from amongst them. This led to a war told in the ancestral traditions as the “war between ODUDUWA & OBATALA” In reality it was a conflict between two theocratic systems of government. On the one hand we had the new form of centralised Government based on a theocratic monarchy focused on the SUPREME MOTHER GODDESS (WOYINGI in Oru language & ODUDUWA in Ooyelagbo language)[iii]. The Ooyelagbo form of traditional chief’s council opposed this with the head chief being focused on the GODHEAD (OBATALA).

With the help of the dissatisfied or marginalised sections of the OOYELAGBO communities, led by Oba-Meri, and combined with ORU people living in the nearby regions; the leaders of the ORU-KUMONI people headed by Prince ADUMU[iv] went to war and defeated the opposing factions of Ooyelagbo. He then established his centralised city-state government. Prince Adumu was also a priest of the SUPREME MOTHER GODDESS LODGE (known in ORU-Kumoni language as Woyingi, and in Ooyelagbo language as Oduduwa) and at the same time, a high initiate of the ancient ADUMU (ADUM, ATUM) spiritual Initiation lodge of Ancient Egypt (Kemet).

Before the final setting up of the new government (administrative dynasty) Prince Adumu invited the leaders of the formerly hostile Ooyelagbo communities and his own allies (the Oru-Kumoni and Ooyelagbo alliance) to a constitutional conference. It was agreed to form a theocratic confederacy where all the communities living in the area would swear allegiance to Prince Adumu, but have control over their own internal affairs. At that conference Prince Adumu was declared the ‘ALA – AFIN’ i.e. LORD OF THE FORTRESS (ALA-lord or chief, AFIN-fortress), ‘ADUMU – ALA’ i.e. ADUMU THE LORD, and King of Otu-Ife, henceforth to be addressed as “ALA-AFIN ADUMU-ALA”[v] modified to OLOFIN in present Yoruba language. He was also addressed as the alias ‘ODUDUWA’, as it was the term in the Ooyelagbo language for the Mother Goddess of which he was a priest, even though his actual name and title was ADUMU-ALA[vi]

Even though through superior warfare tactics King Adumu (The Opu-Suo) had established his city-state, he could not subdue all the opposing sections of the Ooyelagbo communities who continued to trouble the new city from the surrounding forests. At this early stage, even while unification was yet complete, some of the ORU warlords and their companions left Ife to establish themselves at the source of the great river (Niger), after accomplishing their task of setting up the City state with King Adumu-Ala as the first dynastic king. These included groups led by the following leaders who were said to have been princes of King Adumu; Prince Ijo (The Kala-Suo) alias Idekoseroake or Etekuro)) who led a migration to the present Benin region and finally central Niger Delta: Prince Nana who led a migration to the present Ghana region: Prince Igodo (Godo, The Ogi-Suo) who led a second group to the present Benin region, and established a centralised government to become the first ruler or OGISO: Prince Ogbogbodiri (a.ka. Lufon I) who first established at Old Oyo (Oyokoro).

Africa story is authored by the European which leaves a lot of controversy because most of it then is left to oral story and oral story’s it has different version and many people saying conflicting info. Benin will never accept our claim and we will never accept theirs which is the truth and since we can’t go back in time it leaves it uncertain for both parties with each other just sticking to their beliefs. Now ife history says oduduwa came from east of Ife which is oke-ora and we know of no mondiana or whatever u call it then so I accept that but I feel the linking of Islam to oduduwa is recent not historical and that’s why it’s rejected. All we are doing here is well at first is arguing with logic and since guys like davidnaze are not down with that this has just turn into a slug fest. Everything about oduduwa is in ife and none in edo that’s certain and nothing can erase that.

T. in his name stands for the name Tanifeani which is a pretty common Igbo name, he was given that name by his grandmother who passed down the history of his family to him, telling of how they were descendents of the Igbo tribe and much in the same way in how Alex Haley family remembered and passed down many words of their earliest African ancestor in America, "Kunta Kinte", the same was done within Booker Tanifeani Washington's family in relation to their Igbo ancestry.    By the way, over 60% of the AA population is believed to be of some significant portion of Igbo ancestry.

Some other well known AA of proven Igbo descent are:

Danny Glover

T.D. Jakes

Forest Whitaker

Meagan Good

The Jackson family

Famous historical boxer "Jack Johnson"

Famous historical musician " Paul Robeson"

just to name a few, for now.
