The bini meaning is treasury or savings, according to some folks here.

The igbo meaning is digits, numbers or account number according to the dictionary.
Now apply this information you have to a time such as the 10th Century, and make an assessment of which was the original.

God bless you - people forget anyone can edit wikipedia - that is why here in the USA - You can never use Wikipedia as a reference in any academic work or course work in college else you will fail woefully grin grin grin
It's even restricted/disallowed in some Countries due to its high potential to misinform.

Cannot be used for academic citation or reference.

Anyone in doubt should use wikipedia as the major source of information/data for his/her professional exam, if you no go "learn new thing"!


The original idea as an easily accessible digital encyclopedia was a great one, albeit undermined by activities of various people who choose to ignore the importance of facts.

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Na oshobaba constitute this panel aswear 🤣🤣🤣

Hope uzodinma will surely deliver any candidate wanted by Oshiomhole. He gave him the ticket against Okorocha in-law years ago. It's time to pay oshobaba back.

I think Dennis idahosa will emerge as APC candidate on Saturday. For me I think it's a wrong calculation by Oshiomhole. He's not a clever politician at all. If the APC loses the election,he should be held accountable.
aswani:
12 aspirants at this stage? I guess some are looking to cash out or position themselves for Deputy governor.

My own personal choice is an Agba/Danko/Denco ticket in any particular order. Obviously two out of three as one is for Gorvenor and the other for Deputy.

Esan agenda rest in peace.
Agba, Danko, Denco = sure loss for APC.

Even Labour sef go show better performance.

Terrible control with players hitting the ball way beyond their own range, the passes, chai.

Nigeria should groom home players who should be well-trained, not this pattern of gathering bench-warmers from various foreign clubs.

Many of these players have questionable IQ.

Many people would prefer travelling by road rather than using a chopper as in most instances, the distance to be travelled isn't that significant.

The problem with choppers is with any mishap, it's almost always fatal.

Retaliate in wat manner? They r not in war front with the south. They need to protect their state first. Infact this is a clarion call, first approach to all region to take before division. MKe sure u can feed urself first.


It's a clarion call for me. Every southern state should sharpen their hoes n cutlass n get back to farm
Major problem with going to farms presently is the general insecurity.

Except for subsistence farming, engaging in farming for transregional supply and export is virtually impossible with the level of insecurity.
CrimeRe: Driver Sets Edo Traffic Officer Ablaze, Flees by NaMe4(op): 7:41am On Feb 10, 2024
It definitely was expected to come to this point.

When everyone acted carefree, allowing charlatans destroy the State.
Most of these touts cannot attempt what they do in Edo in other States - Edo has become a free land to demonstrate idiocy.

Over 90% of commercial drivers and delivery bike riders do not obey traffic lights. They drive past red lights, obstructing traffic and injuring or killing other road users. I have witnessed such accidents.

Even some private drivers have shamelessly joined such low-level behaviour.

The greatest blame goes to Edo State government and the EDSTMA.

When many of them abandon the mandate and turn traffic management to a business venture, compromising the few who intend to work, this is what we would start seeing.


In addition, there are some touts who wear brown polo shirts with black pants and face caps around Oba Market traffic light.
Those ones have instituted severe nuisance there, targeting what they feel are expensive cars for extortion. Meanwhile, bus drivers have become wild chimpanzees at that area.
CrimeDriver Sets Edo Traffic Officer Ablaze, Flees by NaMe4(op): 7:39am On Feb 10, 2024
An unidentified commercial bus driver is said to be on the run after allegedly setting an officer of the Edo State Traffic Management Agency ablaze along Sapele Road in Benin, the state capital.

City Round gathered that the driver of the bus, with registration number Osun FFE 145 XA, violated a traffic rule at Adesua junction along Sapele Road on Friday and was arrested.

One of the EDSTMA officers said the driver became violent when an attempt was made to arrest him.

It was learnt that as soon as a traffic officer was directed to take the vehicle to the office of the EDTSMA, the driver stripped himself naked, took a keg of petrol from his vehicle, poured it on the official and set him ablaze.

Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the EDSTMA, Roland Owolabi, were not successful.

But in a video on social media with pictures of the vehicle, a man suspected to be an EDSTMA official was heard saying, “The driver committed a traffic offence, and officers of the Zone 2 enforcement team apprehended him and asked him to gently take the bus to the base but he refused, he resisted arrest and started fighting everyone.

“At the end of the day, one of the officers was asked to take the bus to the base. The driver brought out petrol, got himself naked, poured the petrol on the officer on the bus and set him ablaze.

“As we speak, the officer is receiving treatment in a hospital here in Benin City. The bus driver is on the run.”

Amongst the PDP aspirants, Asue Ighodalo, who happens to be Esan sits miles ahead of the rest in terms of qualifications, leadership roles and performance, organisational success/achievements, and even philanthropy.

Why is a particular set of aspirants so unsettled? Even if the ticket is handed to any of them, it would be a walkover for APC.

Kindly note that the protest must start from the West, to avoid them calling any region hater of Nigeria and Yorubas!
It has been 3600 in Edo for over a year!

Poultries shutting down? Meanwhile the minister of labour, a few days ago stated the unemployment rate was 4.2%.

Even the US long-term average unemployment rate is 5.7%.

Oyedele said while the unemployment rate in Nigeria is relatively low at 4.2%, . . .
This opening Lie revealed this guy had nothing to say.

Maybe we need a new definition for unemployment and working age population.

In 2022, Nigeria's unemployment rate was 37%. What happened or changed making the rate as low as 4.2%?

How many Large Companies/Establishments, foreign and local shut down in the last six months?

Are we to blame the reducing standard of life, increasing rate of mental illnesses, increasing crime waves on the unproductivity of 81% of the employed population?

PoliticsRe: Edo Guber 2024:four More APC Aspirants Screened Out Of Primaries by NaMe4: 11:37pm On Jan 22, 2024
Edos do not vote along party lines, rather individuals.

That's why the senators in the senatorial zones are in APC, APC and Labour for the North, Central and South respectively.

The strongest aspirants apart from Dr Asuen, who are getting increasing support are even in the APC.

Therefore, this election would be highly contested by individuals with very impressive resumes and track records.

Any party which fields a mediocre is on its own.
