The british invaded Benin in 1897, deposed the oba and exiled him to Calabar. The oba's son, Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen moved to his aunt's house and began farming in order to earn a living. This he did until the british consul eventually called him back to Benin.

In the meantime, the british consul ruled Benin in conjunction with Chief Agho Ogbedeoyo (the Obaseki of Benin).

Oba Ovonramwen died in 1914 and a succession crisis between Chief Agho Ogbedeoyo and Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen ensued. It seemed that Chief Ogbedeoyo would be crowned as the new oba, but strong evidence by some Benin chiefs eventually made the british consul rule in favour of Prince Aiguibasinwin. The british consul thus approved the appointment of Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen as the new Oba of Benin (Oba Eweka II) and that was how the practice of the consul (or governor) approving the appointment of the Oba began.

That was slightly different in that Ovonramwen was overthrown by an act of war, and there were many casualties on both sides. After he was removed Benin then became part of the British empire so they chose the king. Since then it has returned to normal. And the first son of the Oba ascends after his fathers death.

Most of we Nigerian youth lack knowledge of the constitution. So these these Edo youth do not know that the Governor has the right to appoint a king?

This is not Yoruba land, the Oba of Benin is not appointed by the government, there have been Obas since before the constitution was drafted. This statement implies that is the governor does not like an Oba or crown prince he can remove him and that is as false as can be. I dare Oshiomole or even Buhari to try an oust the Oba of Benin, they may succeed in removing him but they will not live to enjoy it.

DropShot:
That's natural occurrence which cannot be prevented. Not like deliberately enriching anyone.

If anything, removing subsidy actually seeks to stop enriching the marketers.

If well policed and run properly the subsidy will not enrich anyone more than the deregulation will, because their profit margins will remain the same. But I maintain that people are being enriched more now.

The landing cost of PMS is somewhere between 110 and 120 how th did they come up with 145 as their magic number? The profit margins have drastically increased since they started selling at 145. And please not that the profit is not going to the stations its going to those same marketers that we are allegedly fighting against. Before their profit was in the N3-5 range per liter now it's close to N20

The land cost of diesel is higher than PMS but yet diesel is sold for cheaper.

DropShot:
Enrich which people by removing subsidy?

Sorry to say, but your thinking is upside down.

A quick example of h its enriching certainly people, they just announce one day tha , new price would would effect. Mind you t marketers already collected product that was subsidised, so I got PMS at say N84 and expected to sell at 87 but now I'm selling at 145, that's a 61 naira profit. Even if I only sold 33,000 liters that's still over 2million extra.

Whilst I recognize that it was a one time profit its still fantastic, and also note that whenever the price is reduced that they will insist o finishing their products before reducing the pump price.

Bailey cars are replicas, basically the recreate already existing cars. Or to be more specific they recreate le mans winning cars. So technically I don't think they should be on the list.

Jennifer Obayuwana was at the wedding of Ooni of Ife to his new Olori, Itohan Sonia Wuraola Otiti. She attended the wedding wearing a glamorous outfit and arriving in a Rolls Royce. See photo below...

That is not a Rolls Royce get your facts right

docadams:
Hmmmmmmm.



Are you not committing the same offence EFCC is accused of committing? Imagine you pronouncing an accused innocent before judgement day.

Actually legally (ie by Nigerian law) you are innocent until PROVEN guilty

mozele:
Nah! That would be too bad for the Nigerian market.

Nigerians will always have the urge to watch international movies. Perhaps if only Nollywood movies are displayed in the cinemas, Nigerians will one day get tired and forced to go online to pay international platforms just to watch a movie.

Instead of giving out our money to the internationals, i think it is far more better it is spent here. It all narrows down to the Entrepreneurial Mindset.

They have been showing Nigerian movies for years. They even host a lot of our movie premiers.

Even if it's all about 2019 does it negate the fact that he is saying the right things and asking the right questions?

If this is paid in secondary school what happens at d university



And d funny thing is any of the parents paying this Huge school fees when u ask them for help they will put confusion with stories of I ve not been paid for my last contract

They owe you nothing, their children's education on the other hand is their responsibility.

But a lot of those same people are in APC now so who is fooling who

Where's the ban? There's no ban except you don't know the meaning of ban. The CBN will simply not provide FX to import these products. Find your money somewhere else or do another business.

You are talking semantics, when the cost of living goes up who do u think is going to suffer.

For those in support of the policy please note that it is crippling many businesses. Before you ban something the local economy should ha capacity to produce something of a similar standard. When we are barely making cars you go and stop approving for example for aeroplanes I know at least 15 people employed by a private jet leasing company, how are they supposed to grow that business?

I personally am affected by this silly policy, I import things for people. Since th stupid policy was instituted along side the stopping of forex deposits an $300 daily limit on name cards I have not been able to meet the needs of my customers. I met a guy who imports toiletries and he has be crying that they have ruined his business as well.

I own an element and have had it a few years, it is a much stronger car than the KIA soul and much more spacious. there are pros and construction for both vehicles. The KIA soul seems like a good option in this case seeing as you can verify its history. I do generally shy away from Nigerian used cars. Our roads and driving conditions are brutal on cars, talk less of our mechanics. If the 07 element is very clean a drives nice it would b my personal choice but then again I may have biased.

What's funny is that him being screened means nothing, they had to screen him or he would have been confirmed automatically. Let's now wait to hear their results.

I didn't dispute the fact that she's a billionare, but I disagree that she sponsor jonathans campain as you said, and u should know that only in the north there are more than 1000 Naira billionares more than her, so there's nothing special in being a Naira billionare, its only dollar billionares that are classified as billionares not ppl like her

Her house was even used as his campaign headquarters in 2011, the whole bulletproof car saga was a plot to tackle the backbone of GEJs campaign team.
SPG has been one of the largest stakeholders in the Nigerian oil and gas sector for the past 20+ years.

Now you tell me how a pilot became a billionaire.

Ok, now their body don wet, oya, a.b.o.k.i pass me the koboko!

Actually Stella Odua was filthy rich before she entered politics, she owns SPG, she was and is one of Nigerians richest women. At a point SPG was the largest indigenous oil company in Nigeria. Before this man entered politics who the hell was he, where did he make his billions? How many billionaire pilots have you ever heard of??

There is no 25 story building on akin adesola, I don't think there is any in the whole of vi sef. The tallest buildings in VI are eko court, eko towers, intercontinental, and civic center towers.

In reality 27k is nothing, that can barely buy you 2 berkin bags, I know guys who wear watches worth 4 or 5 times that and they paid for them in cash.

Like some people have said their case is very weak thus the need for them to seize it. Same way EFCC was shouting that they seized N1.2m from her house in Abuja like that is money.

For now the highest capacity of power bank is 16,000mAh. Anything above this is FAKE. Others should take note

Not true, I have owned one of 20,000mAh I got it from Amazon and it worked great. It used to charge my z10 at least 5/6 times before I needed to charge it.

I also have this solar charged power bank but mine actually works. Yes it's slow but it actually works.

It will never happen. It's a use it or lose it type of deal. Yes if you Re subscribe its rolls over but they will never and in reality should not remove validity periods for data.

Even your credit has a validity period, it's just a little relaxed.

I studied mathematics and physics, in an ideal world a physicist can work in almost any industry however I'd say look into oil and gas, telecoms, commercial banking and investment banking. If you plan to go to grad school then decide what you want to do as a career and pick a program that will help you in that area.

Medical physics is great, it is the future of cancer treatment, there are tons of opportunities in that area, however to be honest I don't know of how advanced we are in nigeria in that area (Radiotherapy) I've actually never heard of it here. So you might be limiting yourself to imaging (mris, ultrasounds and things like that) if you plan to work here in naija.

I would recommend nuclear physics if you plan to go abroad to study, there is a lot of funding out there plus the Nigerian government is allegedly considering a nuclear power plant, plus the nuclear regulatory authority is almost always looking for qualified staff.

Even the station at vgc gate (Yemi Osinbajo lives in vgc mind you) sells at 110/litre. My question is who are we now paying the subsidy to?

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has evacuated all 13 exotic vehicles seized from the former Head, Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission, Mr. Debo Ajimuda, and kept at the premises of the state Police Command, Alagbaka, Akure.

It will be recalled that multi-million naira vehicles were seized by the anti-graft agency in March, 2012 and put in the custody of the State Police Command sequel to the allegation of N540m fraud levelled against the former OSOPADEC boss.

Ajimuda, who was arrested immediately after the seizure of his property by the EFCC, was later arraigned on June 2012 at the Akure Federal High Court with four other accused persons on a 13-count charge but they were later released on bail.

A source at the police command told our correspondent on Monday that the EFCC officials came to the command last week, with a letter from the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja to remove all the vehicles from the command

Another source explained that the evacuation of the vehicles might not be unconnected with the pending case of the alleged N540m fraud levelled against the former OSOPADEC boss at the High Court.

Some of the exotic cars evacuated include a Toyota Tundra jeep with a registration number ABUJA FY 195 ABC; a Benz 4matic 2011 model, with registration number LAGOS DK 777 FST; Toyota Corolla with registration number ABUJA HJ 805 ABC; a Toyota Solara, ABUJA EU 777 ABJ; and a Toyota Venza; Benz 500, registration number DK 777FST; and G.Wagon Benz.

In his reaction to the development, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Wole Ogodo, confirmed the released of the vehicles in their custody to the EFCC, saying it was released following the request of the anti-graft agency.

The PPRO explained, “We are not in charge of the matter, the vehicles were just kept in our custody for safety The EFCC brought a letter that we should release the vehicles they kept in our custody to them, and we did.”

Ogodo however denied having information about the purpose of the evacuation of the vehicles. He said, “I don’t know why they evacuated the cars. It is the EFCC that can explain that. “

CC: lalasticlala

The title is very misleading, the vehicles were seized in 2012, the were just moved from police custody to EFCC custody

It's been around for well over 2 years, GTbank and first bank both have them and you can deposit up to 50 notes at once, so 50k for 1000 Naira notes and 25k for 500. U can do it as many times as u like though so in reality they is no limit to the deposits.

Looks like a yorkie mixed with something else

My uncle owns a 1978 280ce (C123) auto transmission, AC and everything in its original state. its in pristine condition, he even just ordered a brand new engine for it because it doesn't give him enough power when compared to his new cars.

Abeg these are frivolities cooked up by the opposition to distract the president from being focused.

Patience should go and take a chill pill abeg. Her husband's tenure is over and she has no right whatsoever to use that lounge. Its the President's and those who he wishes to share it with.

C'est finis.

Actually it is NOT the presidents, it is for VIPs and being the immediate past first lady qualifies her as such. If common musicians are allowed access what grounds do they have to deny her?

philips70:
Amaechi was never a bad governor. Rivers people know that before he started his support for Buhari. There's no way Wike will surpass what Amaechi did in Rivers. Not with a house filled with hungry ex militants coupled with godfathers and godmothers everywhere.

Sorry but what did amaechi do for rivers state?

I don't see why this is an issue, they have even said how they will repay, Rivers state has the second highest IGR in the country so they can easily afford to repay the loans.
