that's why oba of Benin is a father,a reference point and the head of Edo state.

I love the way he also complained about the poor electricity in Benin to president...he is more than a king

Jesus is the Lord and head of Edo state, not a dust mortal like Oba abi na Uba

festacman:
This current Oba Ewuare II of Benin Kingdom is gradually reviving and reinforcing the sphere of his political influence and force of his moral authority that waned under Oba Erediuwa who appeared a little introverted, spiritually deep, and intellectually bent.
He is subtle, strategic and tactical as goes about it but if you can see the signs that he is already far dug in.

Abeg no talk wetin you no know. Erediauwa was one of the most influential and effective Obas in Benin history. He didn't make noise about his exploits.

lexy2014:
How has oba Ewuare shown that "he is subtle, strategic and tactical as goes about it but if you can see the signs that he is already far dug in".

What do u mean by "he is already far dug in"?

Which sphere of political influence is Ewuare reviving & reinforcing? Is it by going 2 Aso rock to beg buhari that he is doing that? Did u ever hear Erediauwa running to state house to ask any president to come& settle d quarrel between his subjects?

U say Ewuare is "forcing his moral authority that waned under Oba Erediuwa who appeared a little introverted, spiritually deep, and intellectually bent", but yet d same Ewuare can't on his own settle obaseki& oshiomole.

The guy is ignorant

prolog3111:
Any Governor who tries to defile the throne of the Oba of Benin will not live to tell the story. By the way, believe it it not Governor Obaseki is my uncle.

You're knaive. People respect you when you respect yourself. If the oba gets involved in partisan politics something would give.

So if somebody travel on mission on visit to another place for a couple of days from which he'll return to base how does that become a transfer or you no go school reach where them teach the meaning transfer and travel?
The illiteracy of some Nigerian youth today is shameful.

You are dull. Trust me.

You know nothing about how the slang came up and you just dived into matters.


I will leave you to wallow in that depth.

martineverest:
lol

Edo state is not Lagos or south east state my brother

oshiomole is only powerful in Edo north(least populous in Edo) because it's his origin..Edo central and Edo south are esans and binis.oshiomole got no say in that region..if obaseki lives APC for another party,that will be the end of APC in edo.there is a reason why PDP is silent...mind u,Edo state is APC-PDP state..no party is dominant as at now


Edo people hate oshiomole

This is a Big Lie Edo North is by Far more populous than Central.

osazsky:
shut up dont say what u dont know osho has been a curse to us in edo state,serves him right,what u did to people u dont want others to ro it to u was it not igbinedion dat made oshio win in court how did he pay them spits

People just saying trash when did Igbinedion help Oshiomhole.

Abi Na Igbinedion,Anenih dey tackle Oshiomhole self

Too many kids here

The shortman devil is waiting for Obaseki as the election is close by, if this fight continues Obaseki will port to PDP that's if the short man succeed to have his way.

daddytime:
Why are they even bothered about the short man devil?

I haven't heard his voice in a while and hope he is okay.

prolog3111:
I think you people have some mental issues. First of all there is no law which places the Oba of Benin as a suburdonate to anybody. You people's imagination really has no bounds. The Oba of Benin is not a civil servant, he doesn't take orders from anybody. I know there are many new "thrones" which have been created by politicians in order for them to act as an extension of the state government. I think that and you people's short memory is what is confusing you. The Oba of Benin's throne predates Nigeria by more than 1000 years. So please speak sense. Not all monarchs are real monarchs, they are not all equal.

I don't take orders from anybody too. Am i also your oba? It is a secret service calling that he is operating... The world politics predates your bini history so it is not like organizing a electric kin-g-dom where land-marks are stored in one central memory popularly known as the king in kin-g-dam on the lowest level of politics because they are the ones closest to the nuclear reactors which they are bond by law to service, test and grease with necessary resources from time to time.. governors and presidents on the other hand are the ones to controlling the needed resources which the kings are consuming in the cause of duty which places them higher than the monarchs... for instance a governor can hold meeting with a monarch and preachers to discuss a stand-out family like the military types that engage in mixed marriages and births half cast that can not really identify with one tribe, so they become a subject matter for a charmed community, each other the family are trying to lay claim of the child so they finally result to a de-tribalized religion, and to get this family into this spot, they would need the uranium-nuclear knowledge armed (juju) monarch to test drive the family, the governor provides money to the monarch who employs a private team of craftsmen to build him the machinery that he would use to access the new host like a spirit and cause a lot of discomfort which will make the host to run around town looking for relief which the de-tribalized religion is there to provide... this is a bad rap for politics but it show clearly why the monarchs are meant to just sleep and eat not having a host subject to kill. even the Nigerian constitution abolishes juju and the military would shot at sight anyone found using or producing uranium without an open license that allows them to use to service the masses in a better way, just like the one used to do xrays in hospitals and airports...

The oba is taking subtle directives from whoever controls the resources that he can not lay hold of, just like myself. He is not the absolute even within Edo State as a whole, that is why he is called the Oba of Bini.

follock007:
that is why he is called the Oba of Bini.

You said a whole bunch of rubbish probably thinking that you were making sense. Let me remind you that there is nobody whom is called "oba of bini". What we have is Oba of Benin ! Benin as in Benin Kingdom of which the entire Edo state is a small part. You are probably one of those ignorant people who didn't know this. And that is the anglicised title of the Oba. His real title is: Omo n'Oba n'Edo.

It seems you know nothing about this topic yet you felt it necessary to spread your venom. I really wonder what type of deranged person you are.

And finally, even though it seems to pain you very much. The Oba of Benin is under nobody. And just like the Oba of Benin, the queen of England all british nobles do not control the money the state gives to them. I guess that by your logics, the queen of England is under Teresa may or the Mayor of London ? Try and make sense fool.

Yes she is under Mrs. May while in Britain but she is the Head of the common wealth of nations so she is far far by far distant to the oba of benin by ranking, you can not be comparing that any time , it is just like saying because you are not taking orders from anybody because your parent or guardians have given you independence, you are in the same league with your oba.
You guys always say that bini kingdom stretched down to Benin republish but there is no prove of it and there is no way you are going to start a military campaign to reclaim something that was never yours in the first place. It is as fake as anything can be. just like telling a gully-able (hollow g-host) oh-no-able adult child that Benin republic was named so because it has ties with formal Benin kin-g-dam which is now narrowed to uranium mass producing city called Benin... All civilian kings or obas of today are carbon copy of organized ancient struggle with the military of yore which the civilians were able to produce a learned scholar who would represent them among the council of elites that were made of army lords... the ones who possessed nuclear knowledge were able to wage a war that resulted to civil war and got many civilians killed while they hide themselves like coward in the crowds (that is where the military got the murky nick name, gorilla warfare from)... kings are better at sleeping and getting paid for it otherwise they will get drunk with too much work couple with many titles awards and sooner or later start a war against higher authorities.

I think you have problems in your life. I feel we should stop talking right now. I am not a medical professional so I can't provide you with the attention you clearly need. Now go and solve your life problems rather than spewing rubbish online. I'm done.

Is it the medical doctor that use people for test or the one that offers vaccines for prevention against the human hole miller/tickler which your kind call a doctor? i don't think you can even offer any sort of help to anyone because you are not built for that. And so, you know i am based in Amstandam, Netherlander so how can i be asking you that is in a town whose ground is full of land mines and explosives for help?

oga shut up there stop talking what you don't Know.
The Oba of Benin has been bought with money by politicians.
Mind you The Oba ewaure is the Oba of Bini which means he only rules the 5 Bini speaking communities From Ovia North East lga to Urhionwon.
Esan, Etsakor, Owan, the Ijaws and other tribes in Edo state are not part of his subjects.
mind you Benin kingdom was a conquered territory when the British invaded and over came them and now it's a landlocked entity under a landlocked state known as Edo state in Nigeria with it being subjected to obedience to the Federal Government.
Benin kingdom is extinct

Dedetwo:
Are you a learner? Obaseki has more authorities in his finger tips than the so-called Oba of Benin.

Benin people living on past Glory.
the Oba throne is useless because Benin kingdom was conquered by the British and since then it ceased to exist.

[quote author=martineverest post

For some time now some people have been making misguided comments about how Edo north is minority and inconsequential in Edo ..... They probably know no shit of geography..... If 30 percent of both landmass and population is inconsequential, I wonder what is. Funnily enough, My Esan brothers who make up just 18 percent of Edo are claiming consequential��.... You better always check facts and records before coming to talk poo on nairaland ....

they fail to accept the bitter Truth that the Binis are a minority in Edo state.

JuanDeDios:
Some people are stuck in 1892. They think the oba is their ruler; they don't know it's Obaseki.

exactly bro Benin kingdom ceased to exist when the British invaded and conquered them.
Benin kingdom is extinct, they should stop living in past Glory. the Oba throne is needless

Wasn’t every tribe in Nigeria conquered by the British?
Didn’t Europe conquer all of Africa, Asia and Latin America as a whole?

You obviously don’t like Edo so I don’t believe the slander you said about our oba being bought. You’ve been slandering us using different false monikers

@emboldened. what do u mean by our oba? last I checked you're an Esan and Esan people ain't under Oba of Benin's reign.
He is the Oba of Benin and not Oba of Edo State.
also speaking the truth doesn't mean I hate Edo state. or how can I hate the state that my wife hails from? so I'm an inlaw to Edo people.
The truth is bitter and you have no other choice than to deal with it

When they say Benin, they are generally referring to Edo State as a whole. Whether you believe he is Oba of just Bini or of Esan and Esatko is none of my business.

Edo state is a subteritory of Benin Kingdom, but Nigerians are bad at history. Even delta state and Lagos state are subteritories of Benin kingdom. Foolish Nigerians don't know Benin city is just the capital if Benin Kingdom. Saying Benin city is Benin Kingdom is just like saying Abuja is Nigeria and Buhari is only the president of Abuja.

The problem with you Nigerians is that you are very badly educated. You are dumb and emotional. You can't speak with intelligence, only emotions. You reject reality in favour of your own illusions.

As an Edo, I find it weird how outsiders always try to 'teach' us Edo who we are or should be. These mofos believe they know us better than we know ourselves! Every other nigerian believes he is a graduate in everything Edo. Idiotic outsiders who believe they will teach us our traditions, how absurd ? Too many mentally ill people in nigeria
