Born2Breed: How you absolve our leaders of little blames baffles me. There's nothing one will tell me about the palace I know how about their information sharing. Oga before his father passed away, God bless his soul. He was always on ground. You can't rob around his palace and go scot free. It was during his father's time a pastor returned a bag of rice claiming it was stolen by his son from the oba market, why? Omo'noba placed a curse. So this new king should be proactive his father was so don't give me the excuse of he's not aware.....His father was always aware he should stay find ways to be too. Before i go ...cultists exchanged fire in front of the oba market police station....so that's even enough for the oba to know. Our system is dead finish. |

osax4pal: Hello sir/madam. I am richer than you are, don't even sweat it. I am even laughing Sighs. I live in the real GRA, a 15mins drive from the palace, if I can be aware of the happenings around the palace, then the oba should. FYI: I reached out to the crown prince (my friend) and he even agreed that his father has a role to play. When you survive without politics and favours you can talk at will. In obasanjos voice I dey laugh o. |

AreaFada2: How you absolve our leaders of little blames baffles me. If you know about the present Oba's father you won't be writing this. GOD BLESS HIS SOUL. The man was very active, you dare not steal around his palace. He will invoke the gods on you. It was during his time people were returning stolen items in broad day light. So what's his son's excuse ? An ordinary citizen to pick up a phone to call the police? Oga they exchanged fire in front of oba market police station. Mind you it wasn't between the police and hoodlums o, it was a gun battle between 2 cult groups the aiye and eiye. |

teflonjake: It's okay madam . Blame the state government and the police. If you are 15mins drive from the scene of robbery it means the governors office, state cid and officers mess which are all 15mins from the palace were all privy to this information. There was absolutely nothing the palace could have done to stop a robbery in progress if those incharged of security turned a deaf ear. |

teflonjake: I knew him far better than you. Not least during his visits to my late relative, one of the Enogies of the Kingdom. Even before he became oba. As little kids back then. I will remind you that most Enogies are children of sons or brothers (princes of Benin) of previous Obas. How do you even know that no call was made to the police? Were you there? So if the public cannot place a distress call to the police, what is the purpose of the police? I had high ranking people in the police, all now retired. So do not assume what you do not know or accept current mediocrity as the norm. That the FG has allowed police to rot to the point of police demanding fuel money or to be provided with a car first, does not shift the blame to ordinary citizens or traditional authorities. Oba Erediauwa was far more relaxed than the current Oba. The reforms he's currently carrying out have not happened since Oba Eweka II's time in 1914. Anini & gang were robbing in Bendel state in the 1985/1986. Not much Oba could do about it. I got to sneakily see daily briefing about insider workings/investigation during Anini time. Family members were in journalism and law enforcement back then. The police didn't even have the correct photo of Anini. Obas control no organs or institutions of state. Put blames where they belong. Oba Market, airport, govt house area, Aduwawa or wherever robbers or cultists operate, Obas and chiefs have no institutions to tackle them. The political leaders have the constitutional duty. Before you go on to "Obas get money from govt", the circa 4m Naira or whatever current annual allowance from govt, is not even enough to run palace bureaucracy for a week. The amount Lucky Igbinedion as governor even embezzled part of then. This Oba worked in diplomacy and private business for nearly 40 years (he's mid-60s now) before becoming Oba. Hence wealthy in his own right. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AreaFada2: And what led to the anini rampage ? A son of the place and a member of their gang was killed even after they settled the military governor...A plot twist he went on leave and the military administrator sent to oversee the state during that time signed kelvin eweka's execution order. So let's not absolve the palace of not been able to do nothing. I know about the enogie history I know my bini well. I was opportune to meet the oba a lot of times. And law enforcement I laugh... The person(my gateway to this world) who investigated anini's case and nailed inspector iyamu who was a gallant officer but greed led to his fall. The AIG whom his driver was shot and accused for his death is my uncle. If he should give you an off the record role played by the traditional institution at that time you will weep. Mind you not all Enogies are related to the oba. The enogie of ogbeson's late daughter has a child for the present king. I know, people know , the palace knows. Let me add the leader of the gang was Monday Osunbor, Anini was a mere driver. After osunbor was caught he said give anini 2weeks you go catch am, he no get sense. |
Re: Goodluck Jonathan, Gowon, SGF, Others Attend Oba Of Benin's Book Launch (Photos) by AreaFada2: 10:34am On Oct 21, 2018 |
teflonjake: I made it clear that "MOST" Enogies are royal descendant. That is pretty self-explanatory word in English. Those descended from Obas are known. Those descended from famous generals are also known. Post 1914 it is pretty unknown for any body aside princes to be made Enogie. Palace chief, the ones largely non-hereditary, at most in modern times. KINGSLEY Eweka by the way. As for the police investigation, nothing to tell me about it. Even IG Gambo was in the dark. They knew little. From top to bottom. I knew AIG C.O. even before he became PC. Circumstances surrounding Sgt Otue's death and all. AROUND THAT TIME, not told later what happened. But some of it was speculation. About who played what role. That I can assure you. If you look around Nigeria, did Shehu of Borno have the apparatus to fight Boko? No. Can Emir of Zazzau fight Southern Kaduna crisis? No. Neither can those in the Middle Belt do it. I have not seen people castigating them. We should not hide behind thinly-veiled ethno-centric, religious or whatever prejudices to lay blame on those not responsible for it. I think the only thing that will satisfy people like you is to scrap anything traditional and ape foreign things in a mediocre way. Having travelled around countries like Spain, Denmark, Sweden and of course UK see how they preserve their traditions and monarchy, it becomes clear how much inferiority complex is affecting Nigerians. I personally knew a Caribbean kid of 17 (at least when he was around 7 years old then) who was shot dead about 2 kilometres from Buckingham Palace. And many Nigerian kids killed over the last 2 or 3 years in London lived within 4km radius of Buckingham Palace. Nobody has castigated QEII for holding pomp & pageantry frequently instead of calling police to tackle it. The buck stops with the govt and police each time. Even in UK where Queen Elizabeth is the head of state and can in theory sack the government. |

philoedu:The Edo people are not confined to Edo state. edo state was created in the 1990's and though it is included in Edo territory, the reverse is not true. Delta state is also made of Edo people, for example. The name Edo was already in use to call the people of Benin Kingdom way before nigeria was ever created. Here are some precolonial maps of Benin Kingdom.

teflonjake:what is "edolite" ? My people are refferred to as Edo. And you are not one of us, you are probably from imo-state. For your information we were already called Edo long before the creation of nigeria. And the Edo people and land are not confined to Edo state, Delta state is part of Benin Kingdom and its inhabitants are Edo. Dude, why are you trying to pretend to be Edo, you are Igbo, your "edolite" gave you away. Inferriority complex makes you troll all day while claiming to be what you are not. 1 Like |

teflonjake: sir its just 2 years and you already want the Oba to start having security personnel watch over your house sir. He isn't the chief security officer of the state na. The Oba market incidence happened when there was a fire sir and people stole. Sir if you know how the disbandment of CDA made the state beautiful you will appreciate him, because it was his Father time CDA started. Do you know how palace policies has changed, before people use to lobby to see the Oba but things has changed sir. We all know cultism is a menace in Benin and environs and it has eaten into the fabrics of our society. But it will change with time as we begin to evolve as a people. Lastly can you tell me the name of your village in Ovia North east? |
