IgOga:
Edo has 2 APC senators too....people are voting whoever they want

Edo case is different from Ebonyi
APC won the Edo central seat for the first time. That's a PDP ground. The land of Anenih.
The PDP guy insisted on going for a third term. No one goes for a third term in Edo central senate. It's a written agreement in the minds of my people. So what they did was to just vote APC in senate and vote LP for President.

As someone who voted for Obi and Supports Obi, I knew they wouldn't allow him win. I know politics too well. I am only surprised that they can go to some real discouraging length to do this.

An example is saying that Tinubu wins Rivers state. Even if you say Tinubu gets 25% there I will respect the game as. Politician. Saying Tinubu wins Rivers state is like an insult to the electoral process. You don't play the game that way.

Let's call a spade a spade.
I am very happy that someone who they talked down on and rubbished so much everyday on the internet as having no structure has done a tsunami style of destruction to everyone in the political structure.

Deep down in your heart you will respect Peter Obi. No governor, no councilor, no house of reps members, no senator just three months ago. Today the obscure LP that went vague since Mimiko left it has never had it this big again till now.

It is a victory for me.
Whoever the next President becomes, mostly likely Tinubu, should work very hard.

First to heal the nation
Secondly to make the nation start working again.

Tinubu's victory when announced is a pyrrich victory. Hence I expect him to play real sportsmanship and extend a hand of friendship across everywhere. If he continues to see himself as a Yoruba and APC national leader only, then this country would be worse than it is today.

I hope the Labor Party can finally build on it's gains. Keep the momentum. Ensure discipline amongst some of its members who won elections in the goodwill of Obi. Work with other party to serve as a very good opposition in the HOUSE and also everywhere and also work extra harder to make inroads into the far North.

As for the PDP, they should sit down and blame all their losses on their delegates who would chose Dubai Dollar than salvaging their party. Their once very big party has been shredded the more. They should go back home and sit down and tell themselves the truth. They were never ready for this election. Since 2015 they always went into every election divided than the previous one. It is a spiritual problem for them.


I wish Nigeria goodluck
I think at my age now, I do not have the power anymore to actively push for political change. I have achieved some success in it. It's time to become a full family man now. Let the very young ones now pick up the responsibility to make sure we have a better political system. You can't change a government through the gun, only through the ballot. It's flawed but we have no other option.

INEC recruitment strategy is the biggest election rigging process in this country. INEC and the ruling party are so close that they share ad-hoc staff members. Inec recruits half, the leading party recruits the other half. This is the cause of the rigging you're seeing in this election. I think Bvas tried in a way.


I am fully Obidient
I am from Edo state.
God bless Nigeria.

It's almost impossible for you to use your present day observations to explain events of 300 years ago let alone 500 years ago. The world was a complete different place then. Your writeup is ridden with you think, you think....you will probably also think that the present king of England is of English ancestry because he speaks English and he is the king of England. The world doesn't or didn't work like that.

You need to read more and do more research if you really want to learn instead of formulating your own theories using limited knowledge from your today's observations.

In 1875 for example, Samuel Ajayi Crowder visited Asaba and documented that there were large Igbo migrating to Asaba and the indigene were fast loosing their Edo language, although few Edo words were still being used. This is 1875 and you are trying to think and formulate theories about what happened during the reign of Oba Ewuare more than 500 years ago. During the reign of Oba Ewuare, that entire area and beyond were mostly populated by Edo people before they were overwhelmed by other migrants.

The above reference is a eye witness historical account of someone that was on ground in Asaba in 1875 and wrote what he saw, not what he thought. Although you will read Igbo writers that wrote in the 1900s claiming Asaba as original Igbo town.

There are people that still claim Benin ancestry all over the South South to the middle belt, in comparison, Delta North was just another Benin empire towns and villages. The king we now know as Obi of Obolukwu was known in Benin as Ogie Oboro, if the title Obi existed then, Benin would have known and call him Obi Oboro. Perhaps you should ask yourself why the current king of Agbor changed his title from Obi of Agbor to Dein of Agbor and what was the title during Oba Ewuare, 500 years ago.

You have a point. It is very valid but i still believe Edo was not a major language in places like Asaba. There are other writings that classified these people as igboid.

klonboi:
It is Only in Nigeria and Africa in general that you will see were humans are dumped in a certain area and tagged a name out of their will or without plebiscite.

@Op this is the origin of your confusion.

If proper referendum were conducted an individual's in communities decides where they want to belong to all this problem wouldn't have come up

okay. Thanks for your contribution

Well I believe it was after the time of the Warrior Kings in Benin. Words might have come to Benin that her nearest neighbor might have built a great army and was now a threat in the region. The long years of peace in that region would have allowed for growth and development in these regions.
Maybe Benin had gone to Agbor to collect tributes or something, and the war broke out. I believe the the Agbor Kings would have over the years of peace being building a formidable army. An Army of Ika-igbo stock. The Benins while focusing on other areas never knew Agbor was cooking in her backyard.
So when the first war between Benin and Agbor must have broken out, it would have taken the Benins a while to subdue their neighbors. Having noticed that there have been a major change in demographic and seen how impactful these igbo stock had been in Agbor, the Benins would make it an annual ritual to carry out raids towards the Niger, to capture slaves, depopulate the fighting age of these settlements that were springing everywhere near them.
What the Benins where doing is what every powerful nation would do then and still do now. They perceived these newly emerging settlements as threats and felt that if they don’t check it, these people might be a headache in the future.
So the raids and clashes became institutionalized in the Benin military system. I believe in all this conflicts, these igbos further from Agbor who were suffering from these harassment would have seen that going to Agbor was telling the Benins that we are ready to fight, but going to Isele Uku was raising the Olive branch. They might have noticed that if other settlements where being harassed, Isele Uku was not. So I believe that it was through Isele Uku that most of these other newly established settlements especially in the Aniocha region came under the influence of Benin.
Isele Uku must have told the leaders of these new Eze Chima communities and others in the area that going to Benin to make peace was the best way of saving their communities. So when the kings of these communities might have gone to Benin for peace during important festivities just like the case of the Obi of Ubulu UKu which later caused the Adesuwa war. They would stay in Benin for a while, get taught Benin Monarchy system and maybe given few chiefs to return home with or even get the daughters of Benin Chiefs or even princesses as brides. The Benins did this to solidify their grip on the people through their leaders. When they got home to their people, they came with the promise that the incessant raids would stop. This bolsters their image in the eyes of their people and with Benin backing crush any republican spirit that maybe rising in the minds of the average igbo person who like their kins across the Niger are republicans. The Benins on the other hand cared less about the igbos in these regions. All they cared about was having these kings remain as puppets so that the future threat of being attacked by these people could be checked and tributes can always come to Benin. Benin was playing international politics.
I believe this was the case when Olaudah Equiano wrote that his village was under the protection of the Oba of Benin. So I believe then that, any igbo community which failed to submit or acknowledge the Benin Lordship over the area would be raided and it’s people sold into slavery. Those whose Kings had gone to Benin, were seen as allies. Well I believe then, many newly emerging igbo community leaders in this region would go to Benin and do this and go back home to enjoy their reign.
On the other hand, the Kings of Agbor felt that they had equal rights with the King in Benin because they came from the same stock. They too would go on in later years trying to exert authority over other ika-igbo settlements that sprang up around them.
This would cause wars between her and Benin. The more generals from Benin and other people who didn’t find favor in any new Oba ran from Benin, they found refuge in Agbor. This made Agbor stronger and stubborn if I may say. This hatred was very rife between the Benins and the King in Agbor that it almost led another war before the British invasion of Benin put an end to the conflict.

So this is my take on Benin and her relation with the Igbos on the west of the Niger. These people in Delta North, are mainly of Igbo stock, with few Benin ancestry. Most of the town today were formed and founded by Igbo people and only very few were original settlements of Benin speaking people. This is just my own perspective about how I view this region and having read so many materials both here on Nairaland and elsewhere, I came up with my own perspective. I believe we all are learning and history is a beautiful thing. I am putting this here to share my thoughts, I would love to hear what you think. I would love to learn more. God bless everyone.

Now in most document, this is the Oba associated with Eze Chima. According to most sources of eastern narratives, they say Eze Chima had a quarrel with the mother of the Oba and that led to his exodus from Benin. Now I believe Chima might have been very influential in the Benin court and close to the Oba Esigie. He might be as Joseph was to Pharaoh in Egypt. But from Benin’s history, Queed Idia who was Esigie’s mother is the most powerful Iyoba to have existed. So I believe she was the one who must have made her son send away the very few aristocratic igbo element in Benin then. I would also like to mention that it might be the ealier generation of Igbos who had come to be with Oba Ewuare that the Benins adopted the four market day system which is very predominant in the east.
So I believe when Chima left Benin with his few aristocratic fellows who might be young as himself also, they wanted to go in the direction from where their fathers came. Agbor was the closest settlement then in that direction from Benin. I saw a historical piece written by an Agbor person who said Eze Chima was driven out of Agbor because he contested for the Kingship in Agbor and he lost.
I am of the opinion that, it might not be the case but something close to it. I believe when Chima and his group got to Agbor, they might have been welcomed by the King in Agbor. It’s just like Russia granting citizenship now to Edward Snowden. Agbor would later come to play this role in receiving many Benin fugitive warlords who were running from Benin. Back to the Chima, I believe he might have settled amongst the quarters where his kin might be in the Agbor area or he might be with the King in Agbor because he saw himself as some sort of royalty. I believe the igbo stocks in the Agbor area must have heard of one of their kins who recently came from Benin and must have been amazed at how he carried himself. Chima might have been very flamboyant and charismatic at the same time. I believe at this point that the igbos there might liken Chima to a King and attached the title Eze to his name. I searched for the title of the King of Nri and found out that his title was Eze Nri. Eze being the word carrying the attributes of a King in the lexicon of these Igbo migrants into the west of the Niger and they might also have looked on Chima as the nearest thing to the Eze Nri which most of the present generation of igbos in the Agbor region might not have really known except the stories they were told by their fathers. I assume that the time span from Oba Ewuare in which the first wave might have settled in Agbor to the time Chima left Benin should be 70-100 years.
Back to Chima in Agbor, I believe him being called Eze by his igbo kins in Agbor must have irked the Original Edo inhabitants or the King of Agbor who would then see a threat of Chima’s presence in his settlement. Chima might in his own right angered his host by maybe settling disputes among his people in Agbor or playing the role of Moses to the Isrealites. This would have made the King of Agbor to tell him to leave. Chima being young and charismatic would have thought to himself that he might never be welcomed in this land west of the Niger. This must have made him have the quest to return to his true place across the Niger according to his belief.
I am not sure Chima ever in his life time returned to the true settlement of his father or grandfather who had come from the east of the Niger. He might have learned about the particular place but not know it’s exact location.
So having being told to leave Agbor, he must have convinced some few followers of the Old igbo stock who were already thriving in peace in Agbor to follow him with the promise of leading them back to their original land. Some might have heeded to his call, others must have felt no need since they were already doing well here in their new home. I believe those that remained in the Agbor area can be said to be those who transformed into what we call the Ika stock of Igbo. I believe this stock continued to increase in size as more igbos crossed the Niger moving westward probably still wanting to get to Benin.
So Chima and his group went back to Isele Uku. Well this is because, this was probably the entrance of his ancestors into the Edo sphere of influence west of the Niger. I believe when he got to Isele UKu, he is treated warmly and received. He stays there for a long time and mixes with other igbo stock who have made that settlement their home already. But because he feels he might receive the same treatment he received in Agbor someday, he chooses to continue his sojourn eastward. I don’t know how many kids he had, but most accounts have it that he had kids and these kids founded many communities in the Aniocha zone. I believe it is for this reason that Isele Uku sees herself as the head of the Eze Chima clan.
Now Chima passes the Benin system of Monarchy and court practices which he had been exposed to his descendants and followers. So those who couldn’t continue with him to the other side of the Niger stayed back and formed different settlements which would later grow for form different communities and in future towns and villages and kingdoms.
It was this group of Chima descendants that is said to have established the kingship in Onitsha after crossing the Niger. Well by this time Eze Chima had died and I believe the new generation just felt well, since we are across the Niger already, let’s stay here. We really don’t know the road home, but our parents said we came from across the Niger. Since we are across the Niger already, we are home. That’s why Onitsha is the last Eze Chima settlement.
I still believe that even while the new Eze chima group was trying to settle in Onitsha, there were pocket of migration still from the east westward. So, when would have Benin conquest moved towards the axis of the Niger.

It would be wrong for me to say this was the exact period that the migration started as people are bound to move anyways as people have always been moving. I believe that Oba Ewuare during his time in Iselle Uku must have met some of the earlier Igbos who had crossed the Niger and moved westward as far as into Isele uku. I believe that it was the wave of immigrants from across the Niger that Prince Ogun gathered and organized into a fighting force along with the Benin natives there, to reclaim the throne in Benin.
One question would then be, why there is little or no trace of this invading force in Benin. This questions was raised in the book Oba Ewuare by Ekhaguosa Aisien. What quarters can they be traced to in Benin or settlements. If you look at the towns of Agbor and Isele uku, they have quarters bearing Edo names and also Igbo names. I will give my own view on that later on. So I believe that Oba Ewuare having reclaimed his throne in Benin might have encouraged his new set of friends to settle in Agbor and not Benin. Now there is this hatred and rivalry between Agbor and Benin. Agbor in my own view was like a town looked down on by the elites in Benin. Their earliest inhabitants were of the same stock, but they were like two brothers. Benin being the elder one and most probably a bully.
So I feel Oba Ewuare having secured the throne would not want to offend the city’s elite by settling the people with which he had secured victory in Benin itself. So the earliest movement of the igbo stocks that crossed the Niger would have returned back to Agbor to settle down. Agbor itself had a king but I believe the town was still growing then. Most African communities are usually very hospitable to strangers so I believe the new arrivals in Agbor would have been welcomed and given a quarter for themselves. So I believe these Igbo people in Agbor then being secluded by having their own quarter were able to still retain and hold their language. Oba Ewuare who is the first warrior king and Expansionist, would have made made efforts to make peace with his kin in Agbor and also strengthen the relationship between himself and Isele Uku because of the role she played in his ascension.
So Oba Ewuare having no enemies to the east of Benin might have turned his expansionist agenda elsewhere. I strongly believe that even though the bulk of igbos who he had used alongside Edo natives of Isele uku in getting the throne must have remained in Agbor or even Isele uku since they couldn’t settle in Benin then, some who had performed exceptionally well might have gone with him to serve as advisers in Benin.
I strongly believe that Eze Chima was a descendant of one of these very few people. I believe that his mother might be of Benin descent and maybe a princess or not. Now back to the east, rumors might have gone across that their igbo kins have being settled in a new town. News might have gotten across the Niger about the fame of Benin because Ewuare was building Benin then and it is said that it was during his reign Benin was first called a city. So I believe the hunger to migrate or do business or settle in this emerging city across the Niger must have caused another surge of migration. People are always attracted to societies where there are maybe better economical structures. Benin was expanding at this time and also booming in trade. Some who might have gone in search of this city might have gotten to Agbor only to be told by the first igbo group there that the Benin’s are not actually going to warmly embrace them. So some of these people might have chosen to settle in Agbor, or go back to Isele Uku where they are also given separate quarters or they formed settlement along between Agbor and Isele uku route. I can deduce from this that the migration being steady and unchecked was slowly changing the demographics in the east of Benin. Another point I might raise is that Oba Ewuare would likely draw most of his Edo fighting men from Isele Uku and the Agbor regions in his expansionist drive his he was familiar with them. This system was practiced among Benins as each community was required to send it’s fighting men to join in imperial quest. Now the new Igbo population not required to do this or contribute to the fighting, and still in harmony with those inhabitants of the two settlements of Agbor and Isele uku would grow and prosper. I believe this practice might have continued for a while till the reign of Oba Esigie.

Firstly I would like to say this work does not in any way claim to be the true and exact nature of all historical activities of the past and parties in it. It is merely a work of one who loves history and wants to learn more. Most of writings are based on the works I have read on the internet and different books both online and offline.

So I was watching a video about some communities in Delta North and how they share similar language with the Igbos over the Niger. While there are few persons who would love to claim that majority of the people in Delta North came from Benin, I being Edo myself strongly disagree with this.
I frequently transverse the Benin-Asaba route and I am always fascinated by the communities along these routes. I have visited some of these communities like Agbor, Issele Uku, Onicha Ugbo, Onitsha Olona, Ezi, Idumuje Ugboko, Isele Azagba, Ogwashi uku and few others. I have seen the strong language affinity with these people and their kins across the Niger.
So there have always been this argument that if majority of these people came from Benin, how did they loose their language, well I will share my thought and opinion on this.
Firstly as I pointed out before I don’t believe that most of these communities even have any Benin link especially when it comes to their formation except very very few of them.
Aside the proto yoruboid group of the Olukumis, I believe if there are any valid places with Benin roots then I will pick Agbor and Issele Uku. I will use this two in explaining how they link to Eze Chima.
The Benins, have a claim that the founder of Agbor and Issele Uku were both of Edo origin as both towns are some of the oldest also. Ekhaguosa Aisien in one of his Books pointed out that Prince Ogun who later became Oba Ewuare 1, sought refuge in Issele Uku when he was fighting for the throne which his brother Oba Uwiafokun had usurped . So according to that book, Issele Uku was the extreme end of whatever was Benin or Edo. It was like the outskirt of few edo hamlet. This was over 500 years back.
The first question that came to my mind was, well why did Oba Ewuare not settle or hide in Agbor. Well I could assume that as at that time, if he stayed in Agbor due to it’s proximity to Benin, he could easily be caught and executed by his brother the King. The book goes on to explain how Prince Ogun stayed in Issele Uku and after a while went back to reclaim the throne in Benin. Well the book doesn’t say much about how the conquest took place, but instead it just says Oba Ewuare defeated his brother. Now this is where I feel, the Eze Chima story actually starts from and not during the reign of Oba Esigie who was the grandson of Oba Ewuare.
Looking eastward across the Niger, using historical writings, the oldest kingdom in that region was the Nri Kingdom. It was not a political kingdom rather it was a priestly kingdom. I think it is on this position the saying that Igbos don’t have kings came from maybe because they didn’t see the Eze Nri as a political king rather they saw him as modern catholics would see the pope. So Nri or the east would have been peaceful, little conflict and hence development and a surge in population. Now I cannot say why people migrated from the hinterland igbo Nri kingdom, it could be for economical purposes or maybe it was this point that Nri was declining. Whatever the case maybe the progenitors of the igbos on the west of the Niger came from the east.

Rollsnjaguar:


Because you sound like Putin can't lunch nuclear weapon on Ukraine because other countries has it.
Does it matter how many countries has nuclear weapon?
That's why am asking you, if nuclear weapons can't be used in war. Why do countries spend billions to acquire it.
And at what point will they use it or they just got it to showcase.

You keep arguing about the use of Nuclear weapons. Let me remind you this the first time the atomic bomb was used which the US used at of frustration after fighting the Japanese for over 4 years without them surrendering led to these casualties. Hiroshima: 20,000 soldiers killed 70,000–126,000 civilians killed Nagasaki: 39,000–80,000 killed At least 150 soldiers killed Total killed: 129,000–226,000.


This is an estimate of the number of people killed. The US after using saw how deadly it was and since then are scared of having another country have it or those country who have it being led by a crazy man...

For you to have nukes, you have it so that you don't use it. It's a weapon for the big boys. No be small pikin weapons.

So Putin has not even fought a war for 1 month for him to use it. Infact nobody wants to be the first to use Nukes again because you will be the one to destroy this small world of ours.

BornRicch:


Most of you guys supporting the US are dumb. Do you think Ukraine would survive Russia in an all out attack? Have you not seen lots of video on the internet where Russian troops were asking Ukrainian army to surrender? Who would ask you to surrender in a war zone, instead they'd blow off your dumb skull. Ukraine and Russia are from the same root. Putin is not interested in killing the innocent, his aim to to demilitarized the army and denazify those bad eggs including the president. You guys are always kin to support evil US and NATO.

How do you denazify a Jew.
Are you aware Ukrainian President is Jewish. His grandfather was a colonel in the Soviet Army. His grandfather lost three brothers to Nazi army in world War ll. So how does that same person child become Nazi?

Lindodo20:


Don't mind them, they keep supporting virulent racists who don't even see their black asses as human to begin with. With what Russia is doing in CAR at the moment, and China all over the African continent pillaging resources and ruining national economies via fake debt, any African who supports a Russia-China alliance is a self-destructive fool.

If Russia-China had their way, the black race would be extinct. Yes USA is racist but with them the black man stands a fighting chance. The Chinese are going to wipe out the entire Africa at the rate they are going. Ditto Russia. But the curse of the black man is to always work against his own interest/progress

Don't mind them. Give them a Russian Visa and American Visa, they will choose America visa.

Let me remind you Putin fans, when USA and Russia shared Germany, western Germany under US was so prosperous that eastern Germans were running every day from the east to the west not minding being shot at by communist government. Eastern Europe is less developed than west. The west was under USA, the US pomped money in the west through the Marshall plan. The west is economically better. What did the USSR do with the east. Today all eastern European countries are dying to join their western brothers in the EU... Money matters.

They said USA invaded Korea. Was it not at the invitation of the nationalist government in Korea during the attack from communist forces. Today the South is richer than the North. What did USSR or Russia do for the north. They are hungry.

Even Vietnam had to throw away ancient communist crap and become a free market economy to attract western investors. When America occupied Japan after their defeat, they helped the Japanese build a solid economy back. Japan became second biggest economy then before China came.

Even the chinese would tell you that it was America who rescued them from imperial Japan. China was struggling during the cultural revolution, she accepted free market economics and capilalism, today she is second biggest economy in the world. What did USSR do for her to become rich.

Show me one country that Russia has been with and they became very rich and economically viable. People are attracted to money and success.


Give these Putin fans a visa to Russia or Visa to America, they will speedily run to America and Canada.

Goodmarlian:
Look at this map and tell me the America and NATO doesnt have alterior motives,every body cannot be foolish like Nigerian leaders that doesn't care about the security of the country, you want your NATO to plant her missiles in Ukraine so that if there is war tommorow Russia wouldn't be able defend herself because the missiles are too close to Moscow, an ICMBM launched from America mainland takes 25 minutes to reach anywhere in the world,imagine if that kind of missile is placed in ukraine which time will Moscow have to intercept it ? It will take seconds to reach Russia and wreck havoc .

hypocrite Nigerians that never condemns the killings in kaduna and benue no go let us hear word ndi uchu.

Your points are not sound enough. I told one of your putin fans that I actually like putin but he made a mistake here... RUSSIA and USA are like two boys with different girlfriends. The problem is that, the USA has money. The US drives a rolls royce and Russia drives a Mercedes Benz 190. The US spends money on his girlfriend and does public display of love. He allows her go shopping with his ATM. Now Ukraine which is Russia girlfriend is not getting enough love from Russia. Infact Russia is her. She looks at former girlfriends of Russia like Latvia, Poland and the rest and she sees they are having a better life than her. She starts flirting with USA. Of course Ukraine is a beautiful lady and the US gets flirty also. They rub this flirt Russia face. Now instead of Russia to go and Hustle hard and prove that he can take care of his wives, and make himself look attractive, he is beating Ukraine. It's low self esteem that is affecting Russia government.

Have you wondered why China is doing everything to become the biggest economy. Money matters. When you have money you become sexy and you become attractive. China understands this, they know they can create their influence by becoming rich, so she is Hustling hard to make money. Russia is making money and using to buy vodka and rubbish.

Well I am not new to Nairaland and their anti Edo sentiments. People here always find any excuse to insult the Edo people and the Oba.

First, nobody is born an Omuada, you are given to the palace by your parents. To say that an Omuada is in slavery is being starved is absolute lies. The last chief Omuada still has land cases with Efcc. When you serve as Omuada and you finish, you have a high network in the Palace. Omuada are treated well in Benin and with respect.

This story is one sided, whatever the case is, there is an issue of theft. The police will do their investigation. You will be surprised this same family of the boy will come out to beg this same Oba you are insulting.

We Edo people reverence our Monarch. The Oba of Benin derives his power from the Edo people. The Oba knows he is who he is because of the Edo people.

Has Edo people ever rebelled against an Oba yes we have. Has Edo people ever killed their own Oba, yes Edo people have done it. So there is nothing you folks will say that we haven't done.

But we don't joke with the Oba stool. You can go ahead and enjoy your cities and life. This is Benin and we are not complaining about the Monarchy I wonder why you guys are crying on our behalf...

Go and insult your fathers and mothers.

Wwe

Seen this building several times.

Where this building is usually gets water logged during the raining season. It was a shared building because you had a guy selling tiles there also.

I think the church bought the whole building last year and decided to carry out renovations. The engineers should be held responsible for this incident.

chemgee:


So tell us, who did they replace the Oba with? Or you don't know the meaning of depose?

Go and read more my friend

No mind am
Even if you come on air to depose the Oba publicly on TV which will cost you your political death. You cannot go and remove him from the Palace. He will be there well, sleeping well. You can only stop whatever comes to him from the government. That's all. Nobody can replace him.

Be like you people don't know that the average benin man mind is after God is Oba and then Governor. Be there

Benin man when come ignorant is the worst. He fit even kill u troway because of Oba matter.

Bro good morning
I need a Iphone 8+ or iphone x

braveboi4life:
Fake billonair buisness man, When you talk of billionairers that have benefited edo people you mention, Esama of Benin, this one billions is to opress the poor.
FYI it is Edo people Vs Osho/Iyamu/Hosa cum Light against darkness..e go shock una

Useless billionaire. He was once a staff of Igbinedion the Esama. Let him be eyeing that title, he will just die like fowl. I watched the interview which he paid for today on TV. This man go see pepper if Obaseki wins

Nadaken:
Igueben could say they don't get fair representation too when power comes to Esan but that doesn't stop them from queueing as a block.



I await the permutations too and outcome.

It's quite interesting

The reason for Igueben is because the had Tom Ikhimi and Former speaker Ononobun then. The APC structure in Igueben has almost collapsed and now in the hands of PDP. The former speaker lost his seat and is of no political relevance there.

Ask the average Esan man. What is driving their support for PDP is what is called the Esan Agenda. It cuts across the divide.

Oshiomole is naturally wicked. He hates the Esan people. With him in control of APC, Esan won't get to government house.
1999---2007 Edo south gov/ Edo north dep
2008---2016 Edo north gov/ Edo south dep

Is it not natural that the governor swings to Edo central. Oshiomole because he is wicked took it back to Edo South in 2016. So PDP did same and gave Ize iyamu. While PDP was sympathetic to the Esan cause and gave Edo central deputy ticket, Oshiomole took the deputy ticket of the APC to Edo north. The same local government he is from.

Now imagine if Ize iyamu wins... He would run for another term, Edo south would have taken 12 years. Trust me, Oshiomole would want it to swing to maybe Owan or Akoko Edo in Edo north for Governor. This is what the Esan fear. Oshiomole just trying to strangle us politically.


Never forget that when Oshiomole was Governor, the Edo central didn't even Enjoy the speakership. It was rotating from south to north to central. It was just moving wherever Oshiomole wanted.

alen4smith:
is Atiku from Edo?

I don't watch the news often. Neither do I have a huge presence on social media. I get most of my news here.

I only saw Tinubu today on TV by chance. I haven't seen Atiku

Nadaken:
ok, firstly when we looking at local election demographics we don't factor in what population of another exist in a geographic space.

We look at it zonally and Edo Election has always followed zonal pattern (Esan has people in Benin just as afemai too).

Estako isn't the only lga comprising Edo North (Afemai has 6lga, Esan 5).

I am aware of oshomole dealings in the previous elections

However the battle won't be in Edo North but Edo South.

Don't forget Edo North has a boarder with both kogi and ondo who have governor's interested in this election. (All these would be too much on shaibu to handle).

The votes in Edo South are likely going to be supressed (if apc isn't getting the numbers they won't allow pdp do over them) we saw this in osun

Afenmai is just a name. Afenmai is not a tribe but a conglomerate of different tribes with the Etsakos, Owans and cluster of tribes in Akoko Edo. The Esan on the other hand is a tribe and that's why I matched their numerical strength with the Etsakos who are the largest in Afenmai.

I will give you an instance, where Patrick Ugboma ran against Francis Alimikhena in 2015. It was like Owan vs Etsako in Edo north. Oshiomole has literally given almost everything in Edo north to his Etsako brethren. Their loyalty is very strong. The problem will come from the Owans and Akoko in the Afenmai Union.

So I know what I mean when I talked about the Etsakos separately.

Somebody here raised an issue about the Akoko Edo, going in the PDP direction. So this election is unique. I don't really see a huge fight in Edo south.

Nadaken:
let me tell you this, that election has their percularities, especially when it's a local election then you factor in the determinants.

So what worked in 20bc might not work today even though they may follow almost same thrend (this is where you getting it wrong).

The issue here is this current Edo election.

EDO CENTRAL

For Edo Central it is naturally a pdp zone, it has no candidate or deputy in ballot but it has benefitted from obaseki to an average esanman than oshomole.

Oshomole isn't having that incumbent factor that it uses to subdue this zone to milk something out, Apc is naturally a bad market here cum the fact that Alot of apc members who manage to be it's foot soldiers have joined pdp now.

Even if you would rig election you need collaborators, their are not even thugs in numbers to influence anything in Edo Central.

So the votes of the people would prevail with little to no restrictions here.


EDO NORTH

For Edo North this is an apc zone, it wasn't considered important untill oshomole came in, they have consistently sticked with him than any zone since ACN days.

This is oshomole backbone and they always cover him whenever he is about to be politically naked (the ward chairman that nailed him was because oshomole took things for granted).

Ordinarily the majority of people here are pro oshomole, they stand more for him when the heat is more, this is why he still has an apc senator in Edo.

This election their voices would be louder because it's more like a referendum, if oshomole losses political relevance they are also finished because Philip can't get the national power oshomole had to them.

This is oshomole political existence at stake

Oshomole has brought University, relevance, appointment, jobs, projects when he had the power.

So Philip can't stop that, Philip came into relevance politically because of oshomole here.

The people would vote apc overwhelming or aid the rigging by apc here because they still get to keep the same deputy Philip is fighting for (more like win win win for them to go apc).


EDO SOUTH.

This is battle ground, there is a reason oshomole choosed ize iyamu because he needs someone who is grassroot here to do half the job.

Apc never needed majority to win here, Bini is a polar zone of apc/pdp.

But a popular candidate with their willing personnels always make sure they get 60/40 50/50 here.

There can never be overwhelming victory by any party here because both are rooted.

Bini would be lackadaisical because either way they still rep governor, so this would make it easier for a rigging because there would be little to no resistance from the people

External forces can spin the direction here in terms of sharing lga 3 to 4

I hope you see the picture now

You tried with your analysis but let's hit the nail.

Numbers by Number Esan people are more than Etsako people who are the kids of Oshiomole. The large chunk of Etsako voters are mainly in Edo north, but I can tell you that 40% of Esan voters are in Edo south and Benin city to be precise.

Don't look at the result from 2012 and 2016 to judge APC in this Election. 2012 was when the whole of Edo supported Oshiomole. 2016 Oshiomole had to share 5k per voters on the feild that day with numerous rigging tactics to close the gap in Edo central. This time, the votes from Edo central will be one sided. Just watch and see. Oredo votes alone is about 100,000. If Obaseki can get 60-70% of that vote, he will win in Edo South.


The battle will be in Edo north. Can Shuaibu tipp the scale over there. He has a lot to prove and this battle means so much to him.


Aside rigging this election
Obaseki stands a better chance of winning. It won't be a landslide, but he will emerge victorious.


What I don't understand is why is tinubu doing video for Edo elections

Preacherrr:
There is no doubt that the oba is well honoured by Edo people but that does not rule out the fact that the governor of the state is the highest authority in the state. The Constitution does not recognize what is in the mind of ordinary Edo person when it comes to issues like this.

Like I said, it is the Nigeria constitution that makes the governor the highest authority in the Land. If we become independent nation, he will get some of his power back

Preacherrr:
THE WHOLE THING IS JUST ONE SIDED.. THE OBA IS SOUNDING MORE LIKE ONE THAT WANTS TO TELL OBASEKI THAT THE OBA IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN LAND. HOWEVER, CONSTITUTIONALLY THE GOVERNOR IS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY IN THE STATE.

THE OBA SHOULD HAVE CAUTIONED IZE IYAMU RIGHT THERE IN THE PALACE FOR ENGAGING LION AND TIGER TO HELP HIM OUT IN THE FORTH COMING ELECTION, INSTEAD OF FOCUSING MORE ON PHILIP SHAIBU.

THE WHOLE THING IS JUST ONE SIDED.. BUT GOD WILLING GOV, OBASEKI WILL WIN THE FORTH COMING ELECTION.

Go and watch the full video. The Oba cautioned everybody. And in case you do not know, in the mind of ordinary Edo person, Oba is higher than the governor. Is just Nigeria constitution that limits him. If Edo becomes Independent tomorrow, the Oba becomes Head Of state automatically.

I was just telling someone about how useless we have become to ourselves not just Africa. We are now big for nothing. It's a pity, we could not become the force we wanted to be

I can't fanthom if were agreeing or disagreeing on the same issue . Israel also poses a threat to Iran with USA. Iran is only trying to protect herself nothing wrong with that .

USA,Russia,china brags with nuclear weapons but haven't used it . Iran won't use their nuclear weapons just like that to Attack people.
I told you earlier these countries don't like each other but just respect themselves.

If war breaks out today your country will come first so every country is entitled to have Nuclear weapons to protect themselves.

America are hypocritical they believe everyone have access to guns in Their country but stops Iran from having Nuclear weapon that's double standard.
All I know is that Iran will complete her Nuclear weapon the USA has done their worse.

Russia and China also listen to countries if you invite them unlike USA that bullies un announced.

If not for Russia Syria won't be winning the war in their country, Maduro is a sitting president because of Russia and Iran is surviving because of Russia and China let me not forget North Korea .

If Ghadafi had alligned with Russia and China NATO won't dare invade Libya that was his grave mistake.

China and Russian teach you how to fish while Uncle Sam gives you fish for free so you won't catch up with him that's the Greek gift in disguise.

America will give you loans and will want to give you Economic policy to control the money . China will lend you and allow you do whatever you like with it. But take charge if you fail to repay that's how things are being done .

Russia barely interfe in countries internal affairs but the USA invade countries privacy but hate being invaded.

Nigeria wants to remain a baby nation forever but the likes of Iran and North Korea wants to upgrade. If these countries are allies with the USA they wouldn't oppose them .

If a country under NATO wants to posses a Nuclear weapon Much noise won't be made because it's a plus to them . Yes it's all a game Plan.

The world doesn't need a nuclear race but I understand it is a necessity. Back to Uncle Sam's loans, I think it's because Africans are super corrupt and nothing else. Can you compare what uncle Sam did in south Korea today and what's in North Korea. Look at every country today that embraces uncle Sam, I notice that they become economically strong but weak military except few.

We all know the success story of China today was when she opened up to Uncle Sam and the West for investment. The CCP needed it badly as a life line. Uncle Sam is not perfect, yes but uncle Sam has given so much to the world. That's my point, let's not even deny that. America as a Nation has done more for the world now than any other country.

This is not true. America didn't rescue China from Japan, it was Mao Zedong's communist forces that drove imperial Japanes troops out of China. America was even wary of sending troops to China because they knew how costly it would have been for them. But they sent money and weapons to the corrupt dictator Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and instead of using the money and the weapons to fight the japanese he invested the money into real estate and used the weapons to fight Mao Zedong. And America threw its support behind Chiang Kai-Shek because of its own imperial ambitions in China you can read what they call the The China Lobby


Chiang Kai Chek lived a care free and opulent life while the japanese occupied Manchuria, Nanking and other parts of China. One of the reasons ordinary Chinese fell out with him and threw their support behind Mao Zedong, Mao was a charismatic leader impregnated with Tsun Tzu military thinking he was careful not to engage Chiang Kai-Chek in a conventional battle instead he used guerrilla tactics to defeat Chiang and expelled the Japanese out of China and declared the people's republic of China in 1949.

The only operation american troops came to do in China was Operation Beleaguer It was a transfer operation and not fighting cause the Japanese had been defeated. Though Chiang kai chek used U.S mercenaries in his fight against the japs but they were crushed by the Japanese forces.

The Korea was liberated by the Soviet and American troops and both countries shared the the Koreas after U.S parted it into two along the 38th parallel. Oh yea it's not always about oil but about other resources and influence. America didn't annex Hawaii in 1893 because of oil but because Hawaii was America's gateway to Asia and the pacific.

U.S occupies most of the Islands it seized from Japan to this day so U.S was only fighting for its own selfish interest when it was fighting Japan during WW2.

I beg to differ
The Japanese only left Manchuria because America declared war on them and the Pacific became a hot bed. They had to concentrate their forces elsewhere. It was not that the Americans were fighting the Japs in China. The fact that the Americans were dealing with Japs, it made both the Communist and Nationalist come together to fight the Japs. This is what ordinary Chinese will tell you. They will tell you that the US helped them. When the Japs left, the Communist routed the nationalist and drove them to the sea.
The Japanese attacked the Americans first, how can you say that is selfish. The Americans were already in the Philippines before the Japanese invasion. The Japanese attacked the Americans to distract them from what's going on in Asia. The Japanese had once beaten the Russians and they were engaging them inside Chinese territory close to Mongolia. The Americans only occupied these territories after the war for strategic reasons. Do you know that Guam is the most developed nation in Micronesia, thanks to the US. What does Guam have?
