paradigmshift:
lucky is not that bad bro , oshiomole was worse and he even stole more than lucky. esama is made big time. that guy dn try for e age bro , everybody is talking about lucky when d other sons re doing well too. lucky stole no doubt but esama has been there . that man dn dey pull crowd no be today o. it's a general believe to the young mind that he enriched his father but not a general believe to the old mind.

That's how the old minds looted D country and have refused to give up power. U know what I'm talking about.

How do you mean singlehandedly install the new King? He was the crowned Prince and had no competition

Nice

Do you know if he has an autobiography?

I'm sure his story can inspire people to live up to their true potential.

We need more homegrown stories of successful African business people.

Not always Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett

He is far from a successful business man except you do not know him

Lie from the pit of hell. Oba of benin inherited his late father's throne. Igbinedion is not even a palace chief but a ceremonial one who has no business with the palace.

paradigmshift:
his story is there for us all to see. .
people celebrate esama for his title, the only man that last long with that title. leave esama alone , he has done well for himself and he's not perfect too. what about the other rich men in Edo, where are their businesses? the igbinedions site theirs in benin n they employ people..them dey try.. tomorrow when you are rich as fuk, expect backlash too, people will write horrible things to discredit u. welcome to Africa

No matter how much U try to convince D world that D sky is green it will always maintain its true colour. An attempt to rewrite history wasn't successful. Try again.

Counter the facts if you can. How can ooni marry a third hand wife? Yoruba monarch is nothing but a big joke and a waste of time. There is no man dead or alive who has seen the underwear of any wOman married to the oba of benin. That is the difference.


am busy replying fools like you.
when you are rich tomorrow, be ready to face backlash

He is just saying that Yoruba obas are fake and stooges who were installed by their puppet masters like oba akiolu and co. Little wonder your ooni goes about from door to door visiting politicians and showing up in parties as if they were going out of fashion.

What a barbaric in progressive millipedic indomianc reasoning. He used to be known as the Esama of the Universe, find out why he stopped that. Oba of Benin has no equal Monarchy system in Africa, only the British is to be compared with the Benin Monarch.

Ask the British that deposed the Oba of Benin why they couldn't install a new Oba after deposing Ovoramen to Calabar and had to install his first Son Aiguobasimwin( Eweka 11)

After his death in 1914.

Excuse me!!!!!! Installed Who? That Throne is Hereditary! Nobody Installs the Oba of Benin. He is Born a Prince and becomes the Oba once his own father dies, so It is automatic. Igbinedion actually pays Obesiance to the Oba, who can also suspend him. Yes Igbinedion is a Rich and Powerful man but in Benin when it comes to the Oba, he is just there and nothing more. Bini people Respect and Revere the Oba so much oh

d man is seriously running a monopoly bisness in benin

misano:
I know that guy's story. We in Benin understand D guy very well. He made his first cash abroad. Invested in big businesses & most of them failed. From his airline, TV/Radio station to is import/export business, everything failed. Then his son became a governor of Edo state and suddenly the father start rebuilding his business empire. Rebranded the TV station, pumped cash into his university & secondary school. He even setup a restaurant & cinema in Benin. His father went further to build churches for pastor and was celebrated. But most people in Benin believe the son (Lucky) used the state's money to boost all these businesses. One clear example is how he moved books donated to the Edo state Library by an international organization to his father's university, University of Igbenedion, Okada. The guy's story does not inspire me because his son looted Benin.

Some people just talk what they do not know, but claim to know so much.

Esama is the world's greatest. If you know claim you know the Esama well, you will know how and why his businesses collapsed.

Blame it all on the Late General Sani Abacha, who frustrated his businesses and even sent his killer squad to kill the Esama, but he miraculously survived. Then, anyone who did business with the Esama was Abacha's enemy.

Esama's sins to Abacha was because he didn't support Abacha president for life agenda.

Esama was even on the run outside the country for a long period of time during the Abacha era.

Just before Abacha died, and after his death, Esama started bouncing back.

It is laughable that you say Edo state money was used to revive the Esama's businesses.

If you get the sum total of allocation to Edo state btw 1999 -2007, it's not even enough to buy the amount of cars (rolls Royce and Mercedes), owned by the Esama.

I CAN FEEL THE AURA OF ROYALTY.

We don't need people with questionable character such as men like this. I will choose the likes of Linda Ikeji, Seun Osewa and others than men like these.

You don't know anything about this AYAMA of Africa... I so much detest everything about him.

Dude, I am not hungry, neither do I need help from him. I know whom to give my respect to. If Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs were into some oppressive and dubious money scheme, I would say same for them.

It is high time we stopped giving respect to these idiotic elites just because they have money and influence. The way we worship them in the society is the reason the country is so messed up, they are very much aware of this and so they use it against the masses, especially the poverty card you tried to play on me with what you have there or how else do you explain the reason why food is given out by this morons ONLY during elections?

Your respect is yours, give it judiciously and those who TRULY deserve it... If many Nigerian masses were like me, or sees money they way I see it, I swear, these men and others like them will have no relevance.

This is where the whites are better than us and that is why a public office holder will board same train as the masses with no one feeling excited because they understand the public officer is a human being like everyone else, and therefore deserve no fanfare among them.

DAMN IT, we are so bleeped withe our "worship the elites and bow to them" character...

Bro, God bless you for this writeup. I wonder why some people worship elites. If the masses don't give a bleep about them, they will stop oppressing them. I could remember some weeks back where his Daughter's (omosede) convoy nearly hit a bike man at Okada.

Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffet are people who made money by creating VALUE to benefit society in sustainable ways.
One cannot say the same for Igbinedion.
Moreover, the oyinbos are busy donating money for research on cancer, polio vaccine, tuberculosis treatment etc while empty-headed Igbinedion is posing with oyinbo car.
Why are we so DUMB?
Then we complain about racism when we are treated like shit!
