Ehn?

Jovago:
They are powerful and revered. They consider themselves to be the next in command after God. Hence, their orders are supreme. Interestingly, their reign is throughout their lifetime. In other words, it is hereditary. So don’t be surprised if hear that a traditional ruler in Nigeria is as old as 90 years or beyond! Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 Hotel Booking Portal identifies five first-class rulers amongst many others from every part of the country.

OBI OF ONITSHA

Onitsha is the capital of Anambra state and also one of the commercial cities in the Eastern heartland. His Royal Highness Obi Igwe Nnayelugo Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe is the Obi of Onitsha and the Chairman of the Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers. He has spent about 14 years on the throne. He was born on May 14, 1941.

OBA OF BENIN

This is perhaps one of the most sacred and highly respected traditional rulers in Nigeria. His Royal Majesty Omo N’oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa, the 38th Oba of Benin Kingdom. The revered monarch took over the throne on March 23, 1979. He comes out only once a year during the Igue festival which is one of the most important festivals in Benin. He was born on June 22, 1923.

OONI OF IFE

In South-west Nigeria, Ife is one with a rich heritage. Therefore, the post of Ooni of Ife is very reputable. His Royal Highness, Alayeluwa, Oba Okunade Sijuwade is the holder of this enviable position. He was born on 1st January, 1930 and attained the position of Ooni in 1980 (35 years on the throne).

Hian! It is incomplete without the Alake of Egbaland! Ask historians

Imagine ehn... on top decoration alone! And I'm sure so many people are still coming out to expose them like this ooo. But wait ooo...when those ones too will be giving high prices with the feeling of "sebi it's national cake"

If that money is used for scholarship for students or given to widows, that means about 3600receipients will benefit.
There's God!

My problem is that people who are doing well academically or who did well academically will hardly tell you CGPA is nothing. How can you tell me eating fish is not good when you've not ate one?

Please, is UI post-Jamb form out?

victorazy:
Wait o! They are even in uni! They are high class den!

lool...Red herring fallacy! I reserve my comment.

[quote author=CORRECTMAN78 post=33311206][/quote]You're all commenting out of ignorance! My point is this, if the competition was not fair, how would UNN have beaten Unilag(host) to bag 2nd. Besides, UNN came first at the preliminary stage.

Cutehector:
Its not our fault our igbo sisters r very valuable.

wait o... the ones they've finished in Unical and co?

olaniyanibukun:
I b wan talk so o!



If OAU dey der, no need to look for first place..... The others should just compete and the best from der would be given d silver


What point is a Cheetah trying to prove to a goat about which of them is faster?

smh

emmasege:
Little wonder, OAU sure would have dusted UI.

Smh...then how did UI dust OAU at the last Bamidele Aturu Mock Competition?

sacora:
OAU Won d last Bamidele Aturu's Inaugural Debate
Competition ......#na only 2 uni we get 4 Nigeria, oAU and others!!!

Gambari! We are talking about Moot and Mock competition not debate. Thank you.

Lemon12:
bigot

Look at their name. Both of them are Igbo boys

Guy! I'm not Igbo o! How did Ogunmodede become Igbo? Also, my co-counsel is not Igbo! She's from South-South and she even "Hates" igbo guys.

crixtex:
Yea dats true... if u check dis out u wud find dat it was actually UNN which came out 1st but of cos tribalism and sentiment.. how can awon omo igbo come carry first for here?

"Educated illiterate"! FYI, they were very fair. If not, UNN wouldn't have beaten Unilag to bag 2nd place. Besides, UNN came first at the preliminary stage.

chizidgreat:
LIONS AND LIONESS.....HUUUUUUUUM
I wonder why on earth UNN did not get the first position because I know very well that my school is the best so far in character and learning.
UNN, all the way...


UNN, restoring the dignity of man









UNN, my alma mater, evergreen.
Hail varsity that is cited on soft green hills
Hail varsity of our glory, the pride of our land
Hail varsity par excellence, where dreams come true

They were very good, I must confess! Kudos to UNN.

themodernman:
Cowards why didn't they invite OAU?...

Dem sabi dem master...

Oba Awon University. Proud Alumnus!!!

You're best described as a coward for commenting out of ignorance. They invited OAU but the latter were writing exam. Besides, OAU lost to UI at the last Bamidele Aturu Competition so, why are you crying?

eaglechild:
UNN probably won.

No, they didn't. They were good but...

Penboy:
They we're probably scared to send OAU an invite.

We dey carry am back to back ( last being 2014).

Google is your friend

see "educated illiterate". Beefing UI since 200AD. Well...they sent OAU an invite but the latter were writing exams. proud thing!

sacora:
In d absence of Great IFE, UI fit form Badoo......aisinile ekun ile dile ekute

then why did UI win OAU at the last Bamidele Aturu Competition? Smh

walemoney007:
Only if OOU participated

OOU bawo? If I hear! Well...I reserve my comment.

bigboy1010:
only If OAU participated

You just said rubbish sir. If you read the news, the Convener, who is a Unilag student said UI won similar competition they organised. This was the Bamidele Aturu competition and OAU participated. Ask Caleb.

Neroze:
Abeg wetin "moot" mean?

it's a competition in which law students act as lawyers to defend and hypothetical case as if they are in an appeal court.

kaorama:
How does UNN expect to be given first position in an event organised by those people; and in Lagos too? They shouldn't have wasted their time going there cos the Oba of Lagos and all those tribal warlords would slaughter merit on the alter or sentiment. They are famed for that.

you just commented without thinking. Sorry hun? The competition was very fair. If not, how would UNN have beaten Unilag(the host) to bag 2nd. Besides, UNN was first at the preliminary stage so, nothing tribal

fonkiee:
greatest of the greatest of the greatest UI!

Na God o

fonkiee:
greatest of the greatest of the greatest UI!

Great!

omekz:
where is absu? I smell fraud

I don't think they are in line at all.

saintgh:
oau no dey na..

No, they were writing exams. But before you show pride, don't forget UI beat them at the last Bamidele Aturu Mock Competition.

Fernandowski:
Hard work pays

I'm telling you my brother! Then God too.

blessedvisky:
OF THE GREASTEST UITES!!! A beg click LIKE if you rep U.I, THE FIRST AND THE BEST.

lion042:

politricks:
Sounded more like loot competition.

Haba...guy! We didn't loot anything nw

Bants:
UNN second they probably used Machinery

Lool... they were actually very good.
