Tranquill:
I don’t think it’s a case of not being able to raise the money. That woman is not poor and certainly would get the money with just a few phone calls.

The woman has a history with Obasanjo or one of those top former this and that. I mean like a ‘special relationship’…. kind of thing.

What I see here is people with the ‘where was he when ……….’ mentality, people who think that they started Abuja when it was ‘a forest’ and no law or rule should apply to them and nothing anyone can do to them.

MatrixCircle:
Shame on all Edo people if actually you people elected these set of people to lead your state.

1. Where in Nigeria does one need to go to find proof of these sectional interests you speak of? Which of the 774 LGAs in that entire nation can boast of having benefitted from what you claim?

2. Fighting against the sectional interest of some, where no proof of the existence of such exists?

Kobojunkie:
Where are those enjoying this sectional interest?

I don curse Wike tire for this matter since yesterday and this morning for verydarkman YouTube channel.I just read the press conference the lawyer and son of late ogbebor gave yesterday on punch newspaper and i think its not a case of land grabbing by the minister as i earlier thought.

The land was allocated to the late Colonel for his construction company in 1981 and was issued temporary ownership in 1984.The son
of the late Colonel said his father was in the process of converting the land to residential property until he died in 2020.He said they have paid #10m out #43m required to authenticate the ownership of the land,before it was revoked by the fct minister.

By what the children and the lawyer said yesterday, I don't think the FCT minister broke any law by his actions so far,and the family can't win in the law court.That place can best be described as temporary site govt give to construction company and after so many years residential buildings were erected there for commercial purposes.I am a bini man and I know ogbebor family to be a very prominent in Benin kingdom.Let the children to Oshiomhole and others to reach a political solution on this matter.Wike has not erred in law.Wike should tell the children and family the cost of buying the land,and let them pay for it,as the wife of the late ogbebor requested on arise tv this morning.

Benin ancestry is not Yoruba, it's only the Oba's ancestry that comes from there. The mistake people make is to think that the King and the people share common ancestry. Some of these Kingship came about about by conquest and not necessarily by being indigenous.

Zege7716:
U are a poor student of history. Your view of this issue is peripheral and academical. It shows your shallow understanding of the culture and empirical evidence about the Binis. The Binis are more of one ancestry with the Igbos, Urhobos, Esan, Isoko than the Yorubas. The only affiliation we have with the Yoruba is the kingship(Oba). Igodomigodo metamorphosised to Benin and the history of their past Ogisos reflects more of these aforementioned people than the Yoruba. Even the name of the kingship was known as Ogie which is more prevalent in these areas I just mentioned. Oba is foreign to us. Please, do yourself a favour by studying the people,Benin before u write anything.

Instead of Dr. Ikpeze responding to the court in Port Harcourt, he went to Afe Babalola who apparently took his side and decided to protected him from having to respond to the court in Port Harcourt. Instead of appearing in court, with the backing of Afe Babalola, Dr. Ikpeze procured the police from Ekiti Command to drive all the way to Port Harcourt to arrest Florence and their three children and Florence’s sister. They were taken all the way from Port Harcourt to Ekiti State where the police simply handed the children over to Dr. Ikpeze, while Florence was held at the police station.

AllenSpencer:
Your mentality got Nigeria to where it is today.

You see crime, fraud, malpractice and corruption, but you keep mute because it does not affect you personally while it’s killing others.

badoh:
You people no get sense at all? Let me ask you, what will be your reaction if someone try to defame you with unsubstantiated allegations?

MadamVanessa:




I find it amusing, albeit sadly, to see my southern brothers cling to the notion of 'One Nigeria' despite being treated with contempt. The disparity in treatment is glaring, numerous northern leaders have evaded accountability, while countless soldiers have been brutally killed in the north. It's only when people like us relinquish our hopes for Nigeria that it becomes clear we're not oblivious to the hatred directed towards us. Nigeria, in its current state, doesn't cater to the interests of the South South and South East. Feel free to persist in your devotion to a unified Nigeria, but I refuse to be a part of it.

Rest in peace Chief, I believe you were one of those that believe so much in the failed experiment called Nigeria.
