Ijaws have over 200 villages in Edo.
All Ijaws are fully together and not even scattered by God but were unjustly balkanized into Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States.

Any riverine area you see even in Lagos ijaw is there, that doesn't translate to ownership, ijaws are settlers in Edo state I can't give a place to fish you stay there for 100yrs you claiming ownership and the community they occupying not upto 9 , this ijaw state creation should not come close to Benin

VinnyBaba:
Bro,Ijaws have some Stake in Edo state. 🤨🙂

There is one Edo Radio station I used to listen to in 2015.
Their Indigenous news had Bini, Esan, Etsako, and IJAW. 😏

There Igbo news on radio, Hausa news etc any ethnic group can approach a station for that,
We have ijaw settlers around riverine areas in Benin and they know who they are not even 50ft by 100ft will be given to ijaw to form a state from Edo
They can stay for as long as they like no one will disturb them we are all Nigerians but anything more than that is a red flag

This ijaw own wan come too much,

Hope Edo state nor dey their foolish plans

For those of you blaming this woman I pity you,
I have a brother that is like this the bad thing is you can't advice them, they know it all they will do everything for people to see them as the better person
When they are after a woman until they get what they want you can never know who they really are so don't come here and be saying the woman is naive these men are demons after marriage when they start their evil campaign even Up to the girls parents will be dealt with.
When they speak the words from their mouth is worse and hurtful more than the beating you get from them.
All this attitude is a result of when you over pampam a child from childhood he makes decision for his parents he is been praise alot, they don't allow people to scold him or her not knowing they are raising a terror

RedboneSmith:
I have often read on this platform that Ìgbò people did not leave their homeland before colonialism came and opened their eyes. Explain to me how these people who were not leaving their lands and who never 'open eye' were able to dominate and Igbonise descendants of empire builders in the centuries before colonialism.

The people of iseluku, kwuale, Agbor etc where very nice people who share ancestory of Benin kingdom they where never Igbo they call them Ika, these people with fertille land open their hands to people from across the river Niger the igbos looking for fertile lands to farm cos they where hungry, many Igbo came and never returned some igbos where slave trade victims abandoned in Agbor and asaba environ who could not locate their way back home according to Reno omokri that was how they igbosnise delta north

I thought this people where Igbos,

This ideas of dominating any you go, am sure that is how they igbosnise this people

In other words their true identity has been misdirected

Fake news

micellgevity:
A friend came to me yesterday, he wanted to sell his house to relocate to Canada. He is 42+ yrs. He is assured of a tourist visa that will cost him 1.8m excluding ticket.

He wants to know if it is worth it considering his age. Also he is afraid that if he sells his house in Ilorin (a new site) and the things go south what will happen.

Another thing he is assured is that his visa can be extended before expiration. He wants to know whether he can truly work with a tourist visa of 5 yrs and whether his visa can be extended.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have seen someone an agent gave fake Canada visa, they fill fake information on the Visa form the will not allow you know , they ask you to go and thumbprint for biometrics, they fill their address on the form so that they will be the one to receive your passport after the embassy has deny you, then they will now put the fake visa on it and ask you to come that your visa is approved. Meanwhile is fake

Babathanks:
That arrogance, I can attest to that 😂😂😂. They will be saying that they own lagos😂. How?. They will be comparing there tribe with Yoruba tribe. Comparing 6 local government with 6 state that Yoruba have ooo😂

Ya.riba Edo nor be una mate for anything, from history till now tell me one thing yoruba people are known for,
allover the world everyone know Edo for creativity, manufacturing skill that even the white came fighting to steal them, we are known for our monarchical system of government our style of dressing that is very intimidating truely we are a book others must read,

What is ya.riba known for
Danshiki is from fulani
Your buba is from fulani
Your Islam is from fulani
Your talking drum is from fulani
The cap your men wear is from fulani
Your bead is from Benin both red and white
Fulani colonised you people till the British came to your rescue

Edo nor be Yoruba mate

Nigeria youth should not take this statement for granted

Benin kingdom has documented history that attract historican from Europe.

The only documented history ya.riba or Yoruba people have is the history of how Samuel ajayi crowder translate bible from English to Yoruba
As if other tribe never had bible written in their various languages

Destroyerofyeeb:
Na why I say e no go better for una . Taking drums Fulani ? The Term Yoruba is derived from one of the OYO which is OYO ARUBA as you can see from the picture below . Fulani or Hausa people mispronounce by saying Yoruba . Aso oke was learnt from the Malians as far back as 1400s 300 years before Usman Dan fodio came to Nigeria through Sokoto . Your inconsequential Benin kingdom got its name from Yoruba people which is called Ile ibinu ,your Portuguese masters you connived with to invade Lagos called it Benin. Lying bastards

The former ooni seek Oba of Benin protection
As a sign approval the Benin staff eben is approved for him to be under Oba of Benin protection

Destroyerofyeeb:
E no go better for una . The hate wey una start Na we go complete am . Mumu people always getting manipulated by ibos. You moronss literally worship Yoruba dieties from Ogun to ayelala to olokun yet join hating on yoruba people. Even your bronze casting was learnt from Ile ife . I have a video to back that up . Go fvcking read some history

Na you e nor go better for, Benin kingdom is far older and far developed more than Yoruba nation this is documented.
Fulani conquer lokumi people and name them ya.riba the unrealiable people, before eighteen century there is no record of a tribe called Yoruba until usmanda fodio colonise olukumi people and name them ya.riba please go and read.
Bronze is Benin invention and many other great achievement that was worth writing about by white men how can you say Yoruba teach Edo how to make bronze when the only 16 bronze collections Yoruba has was gotten from Benin,
Danshiki
Ashoke
Talking drum
Are all fulani foot print fulani coloniser left before Britain took over

The money they gave the VC to anounce election results as a returning officer part of it can help in addressing this problem

Am sure this man is not clean, first when he pick you as artist you blow when he drop you, you go down

Maybe the cult he belong to told him that if you marry you die or reck, so he is avoid marriage on purpose, he is just looking for cheap excuse that he was once married he scared of marriage due to past experiences, all these are just cooked up story

Please any idea from anyone

Kuda ,. Opay or monipoint. I once had challenge promoting my Facebook post also with my Instagram due to the fact I use my

Timoleon:
Why you up cousin Dey in the midst of people wey Dey destroy other people business?

What kind of question is that ? Why was Nigeria government frustrating her citizens with bad policy, e be like this situation doesn't get to you

Yesterday morning alot of resident in Benin rush down to deposit their old naira note in their banks but those money were rejected this spark up anger which lead to violence later became uncontrolled, three life were lost 90 percent of commercial bank in Benin were destroy. In swift reaction from Edo state government instead of blaming CBN decided to turn it into political argument by blaming oshiomhole and APC.

https://dailytrust.com/just-in-obaseki-calls-for-oshiomholes-arrest-over-naira-scarcity-violence-in-edo/

All banks in ugbowo Benin city was totally destroy

The fight against security in Nigeria is like a joke there are several areas that has security challenges in Edo State but has not enjoy the attention of government but these residential area has been put under curfew for the next 24 hour for security reasons as they claim, many people claim the government is trying to pulldown some buildings,so because they don't need resistance from indeg why they are using this makaveli style

Una wey dey insult una king for Africa, oyinbo destroy una own bring it under their make you feel kingship is outdated use pastors to replace African kings, but preserve theirs

faceland:
How did they steal it?
Whitemen said "I like it" they said "take"? Or was it at gun point, they raided the palace?

Even recently, one Oba wanted to become an Emir (even though Dan Fodio didn't conquer his land), he brought out old artifacts and burn them all as idol (it only took one religious nutjob).

It was talking at gun point

If na some king now na them go attend that event themselves , but Oba of Nigeria send delegates. May your reign be long. I want Oba of Nigeria living in Benin city to open a school where other people who call themselves king can go for training on how to be a king

We need to enlighten people to stop hurting others with venom in the name of passing message, for the sake of national peace

ChangedMan1999:
Again, if you are a Nigerian, you will know that leaders, chiefs and politicians are not the mouthpiece of the people.

Again, if you listen to them speak, you will see that that their language is nothing but the one spoken in South East, even though they are near the Bini people.

Again, as much as many of them believe they are Bini, some of them believe that the are Igbo.

Again, 70% of the names they answer is the same with the names that are answered in South East.


Again, if you listen to their proverbs, you will confirm that they are brothers with people of South East.

Again, if you see their foods and how the prepare them, you will know that they are one with people of South East.

Again, the same early Europeans who wrote positive things about Bini kingdom, also called these people "IBO"

Again, Ajayi Crowther( who was Yoruba) who made several research in their land almost two centuries ago, called them nothing but "IBO"

Again, many centuries ago( before the days of distortion of history) Bini people refer to these people as "Igbon"

Ika were never igbon, Ika people are called by Edo people as Ika, even in 16 century an Ika man called obo from obuluku killed one Edo woman name Adesuwa for calling
him igbon, it is people from across river Niger that are called igbon today corrupted to Igbo by whitemen

This is arrangy there is no genuine American there.
Igbos beg Rihanna to claim Igbo identity online it didn't work they start begging their friends abroad and their born abroad to identify with 5h for cheap popularity

AreaFada2:
Edo history is pretty well orally told and retold and partly documented since the 15th century.

Benin people became known as Edo by 1440 AD when Oba Ewuare I ascended throne. By about 40 BC it was Igodo/Igodomigodo. It was also known as Idu Land. Igbo people still call Benin people Ndi Idu, for example.
When Prince Ginuwa left Benin in 1480 to form Warri as the first Ogiame, Edo as the new name would just have becoming more popular in regular use.
At some point between 40BC and 1440 AD, Benin became a common name and neighbouring chiefdoms/lands still mostly used that name. in the 1470s when the Portuguese first came, the first coastal people they met told them of the powerful King of the whole area residing in Benin. Some early versions of Portuguese records call it Beny.

Fact is while the Core Benin people began using the world Edo as a tribal name, many allied lands and territiries still used Benin mostly. The Empire was Benin Empire. Core Benin people were called Ivbiedo exclusively until 1991 when Edo State came into existence.
It is funny because Edo North and Edo South actually have and had a bigger share in Benin Empire and name than Edo. Because they were warriors and had other key positions in imperial machinery of those those. Whereas Edo was virtually a tribal thing of core Benin people.

I cannot be sure, but it may be that traditional rulers in Edo North and Central played a role in it. May be they thought that if it is called Benin State, it could imply that it covers the domain of Oba of Benin. I may be wrong though. But what happened In Warri Province decades earlier may be a clue.

The same issue arose over 60 years ago in Warri. When Obafemi Awolowo as Premier of Western Region (Before Midwest Region was carved out by referendum in 1963) changed Olu of Itsekhiri title to Olu of Warri, other tribes protested because the area of Delta with Urhobo/Okpe, Itsekhiri, Ijaw and Isoko people was called Warri Province back then. Other tribes thought it would imply that Olu was overlord over all Warri Province of those days. The settlement was to rename the province to Delta Province.

Your write up are deep, indeed Benin is larger we need to come together in this Benin kingdom back then our grandfather will say as the Oba of Benin is powerful so is his brother the olu of warri over water, that what olu of warri title means in Benin ( Ogiamen king of water and so many other have their honor in Benin kingdom
