If you have never met the devil and you want to, just visit Attah Igala cos all 'Attah's' are the devil's incarnate. During the reign of Ameh Oboni, even the Oba of Benin was afraid of him.

A word of advice: If you have an Igala friend, keep him at arms length cos if they decide to jazz you, millions of TB Joshua cannot save you.

Yet OBA of Benin conquered Igala
Yet there is a town called ogie-Idah (ogida) meaning king of idah , that was where the deposed king of Idah was kept and the town was named after him before inikpi came to the rescue of the next atah if Igala

.The word YORUBA was given to Oyo people alone
Prior to 1903 , the only people that do answer the name Yoruba were only Oyo people alone, but in 1903 the British government asked everyone including those in Ilorin to bear the name Yoruba

You see why Nigeria will never settle the British favored the north and west bringing people of different tribes under one name and forcing them to adopt one of the natives language as a bond , but coming to the south they divided the south because the south resisted them

Ugie( celebration, festival)

Ewere( a magical leaf found deep in the forest that is belive to bring peace and prosperity and drives evil spirit away)

It was originated by oba ewuare the great who saw the tree in the forset when he seeked refuged ,the tree helped him in the forest so when he became king he sort to use the tree leaves to cleans the land during the end of the year...but the culture is dieing because of christanity

Ewere is not any magical leave but a leave use in place of flowers like white people use theirs to show love so Edo people use theirs to show love. Inconclusion ewere means peace in Edo language

agadez007:
so what you are saying in essence is that Asaba,Akwukwu igbo,Ogwashi uku are all Benin people

I want you to visit the traditional ruler of these places you mentioned they will tell you their history themselves then u will know better

agadez007:
What does Anioma mean in Edo language

In Edo there is a street call Yoruba street that migrant from Yoruba land gathered there and name was coin to mock them doesn’t make the the said location belongs to the migrant

agadez007:
I think it's the other way round,you guys burrowed the words from Anioma people

Anioma is an part of old bendel not Igbo but Edo

agadez007:
the reason you gave for the similarity between the two languages is False as Onitsha is not the origin of the Igbo people or is it that igbos didn't have words for those until they(Onitsha people) came along
We have been speaking like that before they migrated from wherever they migrated from

All tribes borrow from each other including English Igbo will not be different

Abagworo:
Is chicken also known as "Okukor" in Bini?

Almost yes Edo share similar with Igbo in language because onitsha where migrants from Edo land.
Similarities
Edo call chicken okhokho
Igbo call chicken Okuko
Edo call farm ugbo
Igbo call farm ugbo
Edo call dog Ekita
Igbo call dog Nkita
Edo greet dooo
Igbo greet ndooo
Edo call their king oba
Igbo call their king obi

Edo my people the greatest and most hard working Africans, see what Edo did when they were called primitive now that civilization has come is no long possible to achieve such greatness

Edo the cradle of black civilization

Bro you got the Message wrong because the Letter Said please choose from the options below by ticking the APPROPRIATE BOXES
that means You can choose only the Boxes to keep your Passport yourself and not giving the HR for safekeeping.

All I know is that no company will spend whooping some of money to give years work permits and not keep your passport what if you run home when the job no longer suits u , the paper that guy is showing is fake

NONNYG:
To those who keep saying all the employers seize their employees passport, I just went HR to take picture of this form.

Please read what is written in the hr paper you post that your passport will be given to the HR for safe keeping, are you a baby that you can not keep your passport

NONNYG:
Hahahahaha, Baba I've been working in a hotel since 2016 till date, this is my 3rd job in 3 different hotels within the last 3 years. Hotel doesn't seize employees passport, it's against the law, some will ask you if you want them to keep it for you after medical for safety purpose, it's left for you to decide. My passport is chilling in my apartment. Please don't mislead people here

Snap your employment letter let me also snap mine and send so we know who is working in UAE
Company hold your passport after the have pay for your work permit, even tourist visa most companies or sponsor hold your passport to make sure u leave after your visit

kellycute:
gbam!!. I keep telling people that Dubai is a goldmine but they don't wanna listen to me. You can get 3 bedroom apartment and rent out 2 rooms. You won't even be paying rent again cos the money u will get from renting out the 2 rooms will be enough to paid for the apartment and still have some cash to freestyle with.

Please don’t listen to that post he/she is a fraud star in UAE (Dubai / alh buda bi) is $1000 above in a month not to talk about flat

Abidek900:
1. like, how much can it cost a person willing to travel to UAE?
2. Can a person work and the same time goes to school there

UAE is not Europe you can’t be schooling and be working the people did not design their country for settlers you only come to work for them and get out also if you want to school your money most come from your sponsor, this people are the most stingy people on earth
1 they don’t issue residents permits or citizenship
1, their visa is the most expensive visa in the world every visa they issue a commission must go to one of their citizens who sponsor the company that issue you that visa
They don’t put caution anywhere to warn e g when yo cross road without using zebra crossing police will catch you and you will pay fine if fine
When u mistakenly seat were women seat in a bus or train you pay fine, so they set trap everywhere in other to make money from tourists and foreigners
They will go to America give birth and those kids will be citizens but you can’t come to their country to give birth not to talk about giving birth to citizen if you mistakenly enter labor as a worker u wii over two million naira and yet that child will be citizen

NONNYG:
How about those working in hotels, schools, multinational companies etc, do they seize their passport too?

Yes is party of the condition to get a job, when you are about to employed you go for medical fitness especially your heart, when you pass the company pay for your permit for the next two years as you work with the company, you and the government sign agreement to that effect then the company pay 3000 derah which is about 300,000 naira then the company collect your passport, should you decide you want to go home before two years end you pay the money

moseslarry:
Hello pls, I’m planning to move to uae next year January, I studied food science, what are my chances of getting a job in food industry and apart from food Industry, is there any probability that i can get a good paying job else where? Lastly, I would like to add you permanently for further guidance. Thanks.

Please don’t waste your money they hate Nigerians due to robbery and other criminal activities link to Nigerians especially igbos

I have worked in UAE (Dubai) please don’t be deceived that country is not for blacks they hate Nigerians with passion most job openings will indicate no Nigerians are allowed to apply to tell you how much they don’t need us Dubai have suspend the issuance of visa to Nigerians many times, I don’t have enough bundles I would have post a video where over ten thousand people came for a job where they need just 50 people as security at mail of emirate. Conclusion for those who think you can work in two places you lie in UAE u can only work in One place is illegal to in two places, the lie lie poster alleged they where paying his friend who was a laborer 2k Derah , the highest you receive as laborer is 1400k derah which around 120,000 Naira a month.

budaatum:
I have friends in Dubai who are doing very well indeed. One in construction as an architect and not a labourer, a few are teachers and a couple are accountants. No one took their passports off them and they travel regularly. I also know a maid though who is slaving and can't travel so it does seem to depend on one's skills set.

I'll call you a product of hard work. Some expect to reap what they don't sow.

In UAE ur employer seize ur passport as long as you work with him, and you can not travel out of UAE till ur job contract is over. Don’t be deceived

Esans are Edo people with a little dialect

I pity does who where elected for the first time they will never be called honorable
