We know u are under Ob of Benin not ooni

Intrepid01:
This man is looking for real problem...I hope he's up to it......He publicly disrespected OONI and now calls Oba of Benin his father....okay naaa. ...trust me , the concerned parties are watching....

only a bastard calls another man his father.
Oba of lagos knows whom his father is and defers to him.
You may wish other wise, but Eko kings and princes owe their alleigance to the Oba of Benin.
Not the Ooni, definitely not the Alaafin.

So who go come bless Nigeria kwanu

Stop saying nonsense.. .. baale of idumota is even a junior king to Ayangburen of Ikorodu...

Akiolu should be under the Olota of Ota who happens to be the paramount ruler of Awori land... . Awori owns lagos Island

Oba of Benin himself descended from Oranmiyan. Kini big deal?

If the truth must be told, Lagos accelerated development is attributed to its past as a former federal capital of Nigeria before the current Abuja that is now the capital of Nigeria.

Lagos grew because of the exploitation and underdevelopment in other coastal state in Nigeria that even have seaport but these seaport is not working to full capacity.

Take for example, the Warri seaport is not working, the Koko port and the Burutu port in delta state is not working in delta state.

The same goes for the Ondo port in Ondo state and the Calabar seaport in Cross Rivers state. These seaport were killed by the Yoruba and Hausa dominated federal government.

It is only the Onne port in rivers states which is the only sea port that is working in the Niger delta region.

Why will Lagos with a vibrant sea port and a vibrant International airport not enjoy greater growth at the expense of the oil rich states of the Niger delta region.

Conclusively, it is not the Oba of Benin prayer that took Lagos to were it is today, it is rather the opportunity Lagos was privileged to enjoy from the colonial master and the successive federal administration that catapulted Lagos to its present growth and development.

If the Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu is saying that the Oba of Benin prayer brought development to Lagos state. Why is it that the Oba of Benin did not think it necessary to pray for his own domain - the Benin Kingdom and the entire Edo state for growth to overtake Edo state.

Why did the Oba of Benin prayer not brought development to the Niger delta region of which Edo state is a part of?

Anyway, I do not take Oba Akiolu opinion or view with all seriousness as he is a kind of person that is fond of rolling his mouth carelessly in public. He is too mouthy!

He was once quoted as telling the Igbos who refuse to vote for Governor Ambode to go and die in the Lagoon.

Oba Akiolu was recently quoted to have accused former Vice President Abubakar Atiku of stage managing his subsequent retirement from the Nigeria Police when he was at the top echelon of the Police force..

*Coronation Anniversary: Obaseki Salutes Oba Ewuare II, lauds inspiring partnership with Govt
*Oba Ewuare 11 a bridge builder-Oshiomhole
*Lagos still enjoying blessings of Oba of Benin-Oba Akiolu

Why I will soon embark on national and internation tour-Oba Ewuare 11

By SIMON EBEGBULEM, BENIN CITY –

GOVERNOR Godwin Obaseki of Edo state has said that the relationship between the state government and the Benin Monarch, Omo N’ Oba N’ Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, in the last one year, has improved the quality of life in the state. Meanwhile, the Oba of Lagos, Rewanu Akiolu, has said that the developmental strides being witnessed in Lagos State was because of the blessings given to the state by a past Oba of Benin.

Saying that Lagos state has continued to enjoy that blessing, Oba Akiolu said he was happy to be present at the anniversary of an Oba ‘who used to be his brother but is now his father.’ Also, immediate past governor of Edo state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who congratulated Oba Ewuare 11 for his one year coronation anniversary and birthday, described the Oba as a bridge builder and a blessing to Edo state and Nigeria as a whole.

Both Governor Obaseki and Oba Akiolu spoke at a Gala Night to mark the one-year coronation anniversary of Oba Ewuare II, in Benin city, Friday. The governor described his working relationship with the monarch in the one year he has reigned as inspirational and unique, noting that the cordial relationship has been instrumental to the successes recorded by his government in the last one year.

Obaseki said that the collaboration has helped the government in addressing some of the concerns raised in His Majesty’s coronation speech last year, which resulted in the state government’s new law which outlawed the activities of Community Development Associations (CDAs) as well as the development of the Gelegele Seaport.

We as a government have collaborated with his Majesty and have put a law in place to deal with miscreants, who still engage in CDA activities in the state. For the Gelegele Seaport, we set up a technical committee on the development of the seaport and the committee has submitted its report to us,” the governor said. He congratulated Oba Ewuare II on his birthday and one-year anniversary on the throne and thanked him for being a source of confidence to those in public office by his actions.

Obaseki said that the state would be hosting the Alaghodaro Investment Summit in Benin City in November to open the state for investment to secure the future of Edo people, adding, “In less than a month from now the first edition of Alaghodaro Investment Summit will hold in this great city. Our objective is to showcase sectors that global business players can invest in, namely, agriculture, energy, manufacturing, tourism, real estate and sports to mention a few.”

On his part, Oba Ewuare II urged traditional institutions to partner with government for the good of the society, declaring that he will soon embark on national and international tours and hopes to use the opportunity to build stronger ties that will benefit Edo. Oba Ewuare II thanked the state government for acceding to his request that CDA activities be criminalised in the state, noting that the new law has brought sanity to property management in the state.

The event attracted dignitaries from within and outside the shores of the country and was spiced with musical performances by Nigerian artistes namely, Tu face Idibia, Davido and Majek Fashek.

gambari n bini slaves
ds is wat happens wen ur ancestor is kicked out of heaven for skull mining
smh

Lordave:
I don't understand, is Akiolu trying to say that Benin kings have some sort of authority or power over Lagos?

so u didn't know? go and read your books. education is life.

Rmxr:


Vassal state ko, container state ni. Benin relevance in Lagos history only ends in Lagos Island. Get that into your skull.That Oba of Lagos institution isn't even a Yoruba institution. And it shouldn't even be relevant sef if not for politics. He doesn't own land. Aromire owns the land in his domain

don't fool yourself. if he is not relevant. why is he named the king of the entire Lagos? you are illiterate

Boss. Didnt hear from you after all the wait. Had to sell my foam, reading table and chair.

Jobazenu:

don't fool yourself. if he is not relevant. why is he named the king of the entire Lagos? you are illiterate

He is not King of the entire Lagos, he is only the Chairman of the council of Obas in Lagos state. His domain is only limited to Lagos Island. He is Oba of Lagos Island. But if you are familiar with sayings in Lagos they call Lagos Island "Lagos"

Akiolu will be dethrone and it will just happen like film.

internationalman:

Does a pastor pray for himself?
instead he prays for d progress of church members who in turn bless him or at least acknowledge the pastor's prayer. Just like the Oba is doing now.

See Mumu! Wetin concern pastor for this issue. Some people can look for poo to justify whatever makes them happy.

OBA OF BENIN REMAINS THE ONLY TRUE FIRST-CLASS KING IN NIGERIA AND BEYOND

DMerciful:
I do not understand why the old Benin kings never saw the strategic location of Lagos to have harnessed it when they conquered the war camp and called it Eko. Look at the Fulani, they conquered Ilorin and occupied it till date but the Benin kings left Eko that has more potentials than Benin....they weren't ambitious I guess. The Europeans chased the Indians and native Americans out of US and occupied it till date!

Ilorin was never captured nor conquered in history

Dont study history on nairaland.Get a good history text book.

Abuja will be the capital for years.we will see how she will be greater than lagos!

How come, the prayers haven't developed Benin (Edo State as a whole), the seat of the Obas as Lagos?

true, I come from the Urhobo Tribe in Delta State , but I am a descendant of Oba of Benin too. and I am a Prince. all princes of the Royal family of Benin must homage to the Oba of Benin. he is our family Leader.

Guestlander:

Yes, it is True. Oba of Benin is a descendant of Oramiyan. which is Oba of ile -Ife, Oba of Oyo, and Oba of Benin are Blood Brothers. children of Oduduwa.

Exactly what you get when you crown an ex police man as an Oba. (king).

"Thus, in tracing my paternal lineage, I could say that both parents of my father are direct descendants of Eze Chima. As for me, I can trace my paternal ancestry in this wise: I am the first son of Chukwuemeka, who was the third child and first son of Azikiwe, who was the second son of Molokwu, who was the third son of Ozomaocha, who was the second son of Inosi Onira, who was the fourth son of Dei, the second son of Eze Chima, the founder of Onitsha." SOURCE - Nnamdi A zikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" p4 "I can trace my maternal ancestry thus: I am the first son of Nwanonaku Rachel Chinwe Ogbenyeanu (Aghadiuno)Azikiwe, who was third daughter of Aghadiuno Ajie, the fifth son of Onowu Agbani, first daughter of Obi Udokwu, the son who descended from five Kings of Onitsha. Five of these rulers of Onitsha were direct lineal descendants of Eze Chima, who led his warrior adventurers when they left Benin to establish the Onitsha city state in about 1748 AD." SOURCE - Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Odyssey, Chapter I (Spectrum Books, 1970) "My Genealogy and Nativity" p5 "One day I asked her (grandmother) the meaning of the word 'Onitsha'. She explained that it had historical significance. The terminology meant one who despised another. It is a contraction of two words, Onini to despise, and Ncha meaning others. So that the two words when joined together mean one who despises others. Then I asked her why we despised others. She patted me on the back and told me that it was due to our aristocratic background and tradition. I insisted that she should explain to me the basis of this supercilious social attitude. She told me that we despised others because we descended from the Royal House of Benin and so regarded ourselves as the superiors of other tribes who had no royal blood in their veins....." "I continued to belabor my grandmother to tell me more of the history and origins of the Onitsha people. She narrated that many many years ago, there lived at Idu (Benin) a great Oba who had many children. Due to a power struggle regarding the right of precedence among princes of the blood and other altercations, there was a civil war in Benin. One day, the supporters of one of the princes insulted and assaulted Queen Asije, the mother of of the Oba of Benin, who was accused of having trespassed on their farmland. Enraged at this evidence of indiscipline and lawlessness, the Oba ordered his war chief and brother, Gbunwala Asije to apprehend and punish the insurgents. In the attempt to penalise them, Chima, the ultimate founder of the Onitsha city-state, a prince of the blood in his own right, led the recalcitrants against his Uncle, Gbunwala. This intensified the civil war which rent the kingdom of Benin in two and led to the founding of Onitsha Ado N'Idu....... ..." "As the great trek from Benin progressed, some did not have the stout heart of the pioneer-warrior, and decided to settle at different places, known today as Onitsha -Ugbo, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha-Mili, Obior, Issele Ukwu, Ossomari, Aboh, etc..."

Oduduwa himself was an exiled Benin prince

samuk:

No. you are wrong. Oduduwa was a King in ile-ife. the Ogiso dynasty that ruled Benin first has nothing to do with Oramiyan Dynasty. they are different people. All the Obas of Benin were buried in ile-ife after their death. always state true Facts of History please.

just thinking


if the current oba of Benin tells the oba of Lagos to kill himself like it was done in the past, would he do it?
