Benin empire has a real monarchy. The first son of the emperor inherits the crown. Oba Akenzua II is the grandfather of the current Oba of Benin.
Any previous Oba of Benin is an ancestor of the current Oba of Benin! This is something which most Yoruba and other outsiders don't seem to understand. You guys always seem to think that we have the same system as you. Nope, the Oba of Benin who met the Europeans in the 1400's is a direct ancestor to the current Oba of Benin, there is no deviation, no fairytales, first son inherits the crown !

😂 Hahaha
Who are the 'you people'?
What makes you think am Yoruba?
You didn't see where I wrote that Akenzua and Ewuare are from the same lineage?
My name is Osamudiame, I guess you should have an idea where am from now.

I don't need you to tell me my history because I know.

Mexyz:

Akenzua is not the current Oba of Benin, though they are from the same lineage but Akenzua was a former Oba of Benin.

the Throne is well respected more than Ooni of Ife.

Otherwise he won’t be the Only King to have an airport named after him

1)It is strange to talk about "same lineage" while it is just as simple to say that that is his grand father.
2)there is no such thing as former Oba of Benin, there is just Oba of Benin, as the father joins his ancestors, the first son takes his place. There is previous Oba of Benin, not former.
3)where did I say you were a yoruba ?
4) Stop claiming ethnicity in a faceless forum, It is pointless and stupid, there is no way to verify your claim.
5) you said "Akenzua", I don't know many Edos who would say "Akenzua" without preceding by "Oba"
6) you definitely lack knowledge on history and could learn a lot from me.
7) you lack the culture and the knowledge. It doesn't mean you are not Edo, it only means you have things to learn.
8 ) you also said "Ewuare", it seems you love to disrespect Benin culture or you are really that ignorant?
When referring to the king of England, do you say "Charles" or "king Charles" ? When referring to the pope, do you say "Francis" or "pope Francis" ? The disrespect or total ignorance is why I don't like you. This same guy wants to claim he's an Edo...😂
9) even commoners are not referred to with just their names, their names are preceded by "Mr" or "doctor" or "sir", you came here to hate and at the same time you want to claim affiliation with those you hate... You are a schizophrenic person.

Port Harcourt international airport remains the same. If you must rename it let a Rivers State son , daughter or even South South person be used for it.

Ebonyi International airport named Chuba Wilberforce Okadigbo after erstwhile naming it Muhammadu Buhari Airport?

What has Chuba Okadigbo ever done for Ebonyi people?

Very strange

Umahi has been embarrassed after he named the useless airport Buhari airport.
Apart those two things what other thing do you have in ebonyi? Chuka Okadigbo airport and that glorified secondary school called teaching hospital.

Thanks bro, I don't know if he's lying or not, it doesn't really matter to me, he just lacks knowledge and etiquette, so I help. If you don't mind, I would like to elaborate on the difference between "Edo" and "Edo-state":

Two different things:
1) being Edo
2) being from Edo-state

It is strange that Nigerians seem to equate both, they don't realize that Edo-state was created in the 1990's whereas "being Edo" can be witnessed in documents such as the gazette of the Olu monarchy which dates to the 70's.

Edo-state got its name from Edo which already had a meaning: it is the name of the people of Benin empire (irrespective of location) and it is the name of the Oba's language.

Take care

name of Oba’s language? I thought Oba speaks Bini and not Edo

Ebubu2:

The name of the language is Edo, not "Bini". Benin empire had many languages, the one which the Oba speaks is called Edo, it is the one spoken in Benin city which is the royal city: where the king lives !
"Bini" is not an African word.

Honestly, I am not a fan of all these lengthy, windy naming of public infrastructures and institutions.

All over the World, airports are named according to their locations. This makes it easy to appreciate and situate where are located.

Whay the obsession with this latest exercise?

okay so people who are from Edo state speak Edo

Ebubu2:
okay so people who are from Edo state speak Edo

I'm not that knowledgeable about the languages spoken by everybody. But to the best of my knowledge within Edo-state, we have several variants of the Edo language.
Notice for example that the Esan have Onojie which is basically the same as Enogie.

Although Edo-state is a part of Precolonial Benin empire (you can say kingdom if you want), the empire is not limited to Edo-state.
Two Precolonial maps below. Type Gallica on nairaland search engine to get the sources of the maps.

Mumu abakaleke miscreant, you won't even see local flight in ebonyi village airport not to talk of steady local flight. Air peace or any airline won't come to ebonyi because it is an unviable airport. Who will use the airport? Is it millions of ebonyi people that hawk in traffic all over Nigeria. The money wasted in airport would have been used to empower millions of ebonyi people hawking in Lagos, PH and Onitsha,. Ebonyi doesn't need airport

Ever heard of, even been to, Heathrow, Gartwick, MSP, Calgary, Tokyo, Osaka, etc.

These are international airports that, going by their names, you can easily deduce where they are located.

I see leaders who occupy themselves with renaming of institutions and places as insufficiently engaged with greater issues of state. Period.

Boss I really don't involve myself on whose throne is more respected or not because it doesn't change anything.
Even Abacha has a stadium named after him, so a monument being named after someone is really of no importance if you ask me.

cocolacec:


Port Harcourt will be renamed by Tinubu to Adaka Boro or Saro Wiwa Airport.
MMA Lagos needs to be changed to Awolowo or Herbert Macaulay Airport.

SEE AS E SWEET FOR YOUR MOUTH.


GO AND RENAME IT TO YOUR FATHER NAME NOW?

Mexyz:

I know it's hard for you to admit that you're wrong for thinking I was Yoruba or some other tribe, reason why you were so quick to point out that 'you people' think blabla.

You have problems with your reasoning faculties.
I do think you are not Edo, but I do not know your ethnicity and I have no way of knowing your ethnicity, you might be of any ethnicity or even a foreigner, I don't know and I don't care. I already explained this, but you seem too lazy to read.
What matters to me are your lack of knowledge and your lack of manners.

Mexyz:

I'm from Edo State and you believing it or not doesn't change anything.

I clearly explained the difference between "being Edo" and "being from Edo state".
Indeed, I know a person whom is Edo and from Kano!
And once again, I don't care where you are from or your ethnicity and I have no way of knowing it!

Mexyz:

My last reply to you, check my signature to know why😜

Why would I check your signature?
You believe I will see "proof" of your ethnicity in your signature? Or "proof" of where you're from ?
Do I need to explain to you that I'm not dumb enough to fall for 419 tricks ?

Why all these Nonsense? I still hear Dubai airport, Sharjah airport, Amsterdam airport London airport etc.

johnaruson:

"London airport" 😅
You just fumbled the bag here. The name of the airport is Heathrow if I recall. Not "London airport" !

You guys are just looking for reasons to hate. Giving names to airports is an internationally practiced thing.
