DMerciful: So why asking Ẹdo to ally with the others? Did you ask them to ally with us? Better act matured And now you're aware Edo wants it's own Kingdom too |

If you're serious, you'll look for alliance because you can't do it alone. But ofcourse even you know it's pretense! valirex: |

Biafra agitators are working alliances with Oduduwa and Ijaws. I'm a supporter of Biafra and not Ipob necessarily because the like working alone. No single nationality can defeat the Hausa-Fulani hegemony without alliances. UN already recognized Biafra Oduduwa agitations. Same cannot be said for Edos. valirex: 1 Like |

DMerciful: Really? Lol and yet your people go about insulting ijaws and Yorubas Anyway Ẹdo is well known world wide so we don't need alliance with anyone, and if we deem I necessary to do so we will forge one until then continue wailing online about Benin. Wailers Association of Biafuru |

Darkcloud11: The Benin empire is a thing of the oF the past. May be the Benin empire was great 200 years ago, but today its gone. I do admire the civilisation of the ancient Bini empire and all they achieved, but those days are gone and the future is more important than the past 2 Likes |

It's a pity none of the buildings from that era survive today, so we can see what they looked like. Was the entire city razed to the ground by that punitive British expedition? |

Hintona: You go to places like Iraq (ancient Mesopotamia...i think), Greece, Rome and Egypt, and you see structures from thousands of years ago still standing gidigbam till today! Even the ancient Roman city of Pompei, that was covered in volcanic ash around 79 AD....they’re still unearthing the remnants of the city still almost intact! But come to Nigeria, and you can’t see any structure older than 300 years old! Does it mean they were all constructed with mud!? |

PROUDIGBO: Pic 1 = Roman Bath still used in Libya (built 127 AD) Pic 2 = Roman Amphitheatre + City in Tunisia (built around 128 AD) This is why I always laugh at Afonjas when they say Ibadan dilapidation is because of aga. Ibadan that is not up to the age of Onitsha or quarter that of Awka (around 9th century). 3 Likes
