Intrepid01: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. 4 Likes 1 Share |

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.. 4 Likes |

temiflex01: ALL the relevant Kings of southern Nigeria are Benin descendant Nnamdi Azikiwe: My Genealogy and Nativity Bookmark and Share "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..."
