BitterTruth01:
Oyo state get gas reserves ? Lol

See why southwest is the most dependent region in the county

Germany doesn't have gas reserves, but it's the most industrialised country in Europe. Is Germany a dependent country in Europe?

RockHard:
You can say that again. You should see their negative comments about the agreement on Twitter. On top matter wey no concern dem o. I don't get why they're so bitter and allergic to positive developmental news emanating from the SW and Nigeria by extension. That election loss really hit them hard.

They're just terr.ible and ha.teful set of people.

Umunzeorumba:
The said that south east is barren and unproductive,what natural resources does south west have that is greater than gas.

And who told you that there is no gas deposit in SW? The one you claimed to have in the SE na you put am there?

God1blessBiafra:
First thing first.



South West should man up to have a separate country.


Then the big border,we will help you build it.

I promise.

We are always in our own country of Western Region, but you people are the ones invading our land as economic immigrants/refugees.
Abi have you ever seen us trooping into your region🙄?

onuman:
Make it easier for Lagos and SW region for direct exploitation of crude oil and gas in the Niger delta region.

You are hiding under the term "south" to defend a road project aimed for direct exploitation of the resources in the Niger delta region by the SW region trough Lagos.

ShophischiWretched.

Do you have any problems with this?
FYI, PH (SS) has just been linked to the SE by railway. You people should be happy for once.

boringdraw:
Tinubu is playing a long range game with short sighted South South politicians. The coastal road will take 8 years to complete.

Why not start the road construction from Calabar to Lagos? Remember the design has not been approved by BPE and FEC according to the minister. Don't believe the story it's starting soon. How come the Lagos section design was approved and funds voted and released for it?

That way all the business affected in Lagos now can operate and pay taxes for more years before eventually demolition if need be.

Since the road will presumably be half way in the next fours years, South South will be coerced to vote APC or lose out if Tonubu doesn't win.

What if Tinubu loses the next election?

What if Tinubu wins and turn his attention in another big project that benefits his region leaving the South South hanging?

South South should have insisted the road start from Calabar, that way Tinubu will ensure it gets to his region when completed.

Very boring mumu reasoning.

Nodogragra4me:
Because his settlement has been concluded ,back door while Dave declares that others are not entitled to anything

When they acquired the land there was no law saying that it belonged to federal , afterwards Supreme court declared so and afterwards he was caught in the web of it

Tell him to present the Title documents he has on the beachfront to the Courts of law now.

DMerciful:
What is needed to cure your ignorance? The beachfront is the most important part of that business

Does the beachfront belong to Landmark?
As a matter of fact, Landmark needs to be penalised for trespassing in the first place.

Fareke:
The Israeli state has “loosened” its military rules of engagement, essentially giving its soldiers the green light to kill anyone they encounter inside the Gaza Strip as part of their ground operations. Israeli politicians and soldiers are talking openly about turning Gaza into dust, eliminating Palestinians, and imagining Israeli settlers living on land that used to be called Gaza. Palestinians are being deliberately deprived of all the basic necessities for life, including food, water, shelter and medical care. Bombs from the air are indiscriminately killing and maiming Palestinians. Palestinians are being encouraged to leave their lands and homes in northern Gaza and head towards the south – Israel clearly wants to colonise northern Gaza and turn it into a security or military zone, permanently expelling the Palestinians who currently live there.

Shebi you were jubilating and celebrating on Oct 7, 2023. Why this lamentation now?

integrity16:
Not surprised coming from him, CCC practice more of the old testament.

Christianity was not practiced in the old testament but Judaism, so if you are a new testament Christian, you would frown at what he just said

Many of them are disciples of Old Testament Prophets and never the disciples of Jesus Christ the Saviour. That's why they curse, take revenge and display anger easily.

Danand1:
Try and visit your kings palace to get the true story of how Oduduwa came to Ife, all this that you are saying are just mere formulations

You lost Ekaladerhan lived, died and was buried in Ughoton village. That was the reason you won a land case against the Ijaws in the court of law.

Both Ogiso dynasty of Igodomigodo and Oba dynasty of Bini were started by Ile-Ife people under the leadership of Obagodo and Oranmiyan respectively

FxMasterz:
The Ooni was not a king but an ifa priest. The original king of ife went on a war against popular advice. Before he left he installed the priest of ife as administrattor in his absence. The king was stopped by the river Niger on his war expedition. Due to shame, he couldn't return back to ife. He turned aside and founded Oyo ilé which now metamorphosed into Oyo Empire. The ife king never returned to ife till he died but he ruled as Alaafin of Oyo in his self exile. Meanwhile the ife priest who was installed as administrator became king and was referred to as Ooni of ife. The Ooni dresses like an ifa priest till today because he is indeed an ifa priest.

This also explains why the Ooni gives up his stool to the king of Benin on a visitation. The king of bein is Omo n' ọba which means Omo Oba (Prince) in Yoruba land. With the understanding that the Oba of Benin is an ife Prince, the Ifa Priest must honour the prince whenever he visits.

You're spewing rubbbishhhh.

Shattuck:
what does oba mean in Yoruba language, if oba truly represents king how come non of your ancient kingship bears the title of oba, if ife is the ancestral home as you claim and ooni is the title of the ruler of ife, why did the ooni not name the the benin king as the ooni of Benin? How come no other ancient kingdom in Yorubaland bears oba, except lagos which was founded by the Benin kingdom which the oba of lagos claim his descendants are from Benin, the Benin kingdom is one of the oldest civilization and according to history a Benin prince left the Benin kingdom to ife the same prince sent one of his son's to return to Benin and become the king after his father's demise, not that the Yoruba established kingship in Benin, btw the oba is not an original yoruba word it is a borrowed word probably inspired by the Benin kingdom, because if it means king originally the ooni of ife, alaafin of oyo, soun of Ogbomosho would have been referred to as oba of ife, oba of oyo, and Ogbomosho respectively.

Asking what does Oba mean in Yoruba is akin to asking what does king mean in English.
Anyway, Oba in Yoruba means king and their titles are as follows:

Ile-Ife - Ooni
Oyo - Alaafin
Ijebu - Awujale
Ibadan - Olubadan
Eko - Eleko
Bini - Omo N'Oba
Etc.

Shattuck:
the truth you need to know is this a bini prince who fled to ife was the one who returned.

Your Prince who fled Bini ended up in Ughoton town where he lived, died and was buried. Oba of Bini even used this storyline to win a land case against Ijaws in the court of law in the past.
Go and read about the history of Ughoton Town and discover your lost Ekaladerhan.

aswani:
Of course I have heard of it, what exactly are you disputing from what I wrote?

That Ekaladerhan was never Oduduwa. Ekaladerhan lived, died and was buried in Ughoton village.

aswani:
This Ọba is a Yoruba man, his subjects are Benin people needs clarification and I'll summarise as I myself have inadvertently made the mistake myself too.

Izoduwa is Benin Royalty, he went to rule in Ilé ìfẹ́ (You can Google the circumstances and I have also detailed it in a post on another thread).

His was then begged/asked to come back to his proper throne in Benin but refused and as a concession sent his son to rule there.

The son found the natives tough to rule over and left to go back to Ile Ife after leaving a son behind (Ọba Eweka) from a Bini mother.

As long as we can all agree that Izoduwa is a Benin man of royal descent, how can anyone say his descendants who have ruled over Benin are Yoruba? Granted they have Yoruba blood through one of their ancestral females (presumably Izoduwa's wife) but they are all Benin men.

All Ohiọnbá should please accept the truth and desist with calling the Ọba (gha to kpere baba) Yoruba in order not to end up having to drink water in the palace.

Have you ever heard about a town called Ughoton before? Go and read about the history of Ughoton and you will see the true picture of Ekaladerhan the missing Prince.

Zeezenho:
Oduduwa himself is a bini prince. Stop deceiving yourself.

Can you prove this and back it up with necessary history and research work? I'm sure the oldest work you can find is that tissues of lies published in 2004 by the immediate past Oba.

Ologbo147:
you did not get the full video, in this video below, he talked about Oduduwa being Ekaladerhan from Benin


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lpgL7dZh0w?si=3SCNSu9gJ7pSX6yf

Your lost Prince Ekaladerhan lived, died and was buried in Ughorton village Edo state. The same history Bini Obas used in past to win a land court case against the Ijaws.

EJEGBULEJE:
Common sense should tell you that it is "HE" that is from Ile Ife, and not "THEY" The Benin are not from Yoruba land, the Present Oba might be..

You're right. But more than 20% of families and high chiefs/priest in Bini have their ancestors migrated from Ile-Ife. Some are even from Akure, Owo etc. Their family lineage greetings will tell you more about this.

AutomaticMotors:
Very well said!!

Honestly Their delusion is now bordering on full retardation

Go and ask Ogiso/Ogiamen families in Bini to tell you the true story of Obagodo, the 1st Ogiso of Igodomigodo.

santaclaws:
Oba, means something that's above (from the word "ba" which means over or above) that's why we say in Yoruba language "oba ba lori oun gbogbo" meaning the king or ruler is above all. The etymology is purely Yoruba and if it's used anywhere else, it's borrowed.

Secondly, those kings with titles like Ooni, Alaafin, Soun etc have their unique names as part of their mini kingdoms and they are all called Oba as well. When they introduce them, despite their traditional title, they all still have Oba in front of their names.

For instance the Ooni of Ife, the Paramount ruler of Yoruba land is called Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi CFR.

The traditional title is different from the formal title in Yoruba land, but they are all Obas. This shows that Yoruba land consists of various sub-ethnic groups and it is indeed a large kingdom.

And the correct title of Bini King is Omo N'oba Edo because Oranmiyan was Omoba when he ruled Bini. Every Oba of Bini (Descendant of Oranmiyan) is a Prince (Omo N'Oba) of Ile-Ife

infofta:
You must understand the connection between Benin and Ile Ife.

A Bini Prince fled the kingdom of Benin and became an Oba in Ife, got married there and had children. He couldn't return to Benin kingdom rather sent one of his male sons to become an Oba in Benin when his father passed away.

That your lost Bini Prince lived, died and was buried in Ughoton Town and Bini Obaship used the same history to win a land legal battle in the court of law against Ijaw people in the past.

PressMyButton:
Four things are very clear;
1. That those individuals that visited Ooni's palace are indeed traditional functionaries of the Benin kingdom.
2. That the suspension signifies the fact that they are indeed serving royal chiefs of the Benin kingdom.
3. That the Benin kingdom are hiding some truths from the people of Benin.
4. That the suspension would not deter more people close to the palace to come out with more truths as the people truly know their own history.

You have just said it 100% correctly. For the fact that Bini Traditional Council quickly rushed to suspend them speaks volume. There's something they're hiding.
What those chiefs said corresponds with what is publicly known by everyone right from time immemorial. What Bini people are saying now (that Oduduwa was their lost prince) is relatively new and there is no history book or research work in support of this that’s up to 25 years old. It was a propaganda promoted by the immediate past Oba Erediauwa in his book published in 2004.

Leo34rf:
Oduduwa claimed he came from the the sky gods (The Benin kings aka the Ogisos aka the sky gods). Your people were confused and thought he said he came from the sky. That's why till this day you guys say Oduduwa descended from heaven, the sky. The sky gods were the Ogiso's, the Benin kings.

And Obagodo, the first skygod/Ogiso of Igodomigodo, came from Ile-Ife.

Topmaike007:
it is almost in every corner of this country..even it is in Osun state go to market and ask and stop asking from Google

Buying online is for real buyers; entering markets every now and then is for you window shoppers.

GRAMMARJAMES:
You're welcome Nigerian

How does the work? Is it a set up box or decoder?

abobote:
I don't know why Nigerians are barking as if DSTV don't have the right to increase their fee, when every other thing in the country has increased.
They are using light and fuel, which has significantly increased, and they are effected by dollars tooo.
If you can't afford it, its not by force, but stop taking it personal

You lack courtesy and public forum etiquette for saying that Nigerians are barking. There's a better way to put it.

spartachico:
Let the whole Nigeria rush to SLTV and see how dstv will crash... Imagine paying ,5k to watch everything

SLTV should make their products available in several parts of the country. It's only PH contact that is available on their website.

Fadddd:
SLTV fails to tell us how much the device is worth, we keep hearing 5k subscription while we don't know if buying will originally cost 100k

They don't even have any contact address outside their PH office

Nunez and Jackson na serious wash ...the worst strikers ever,Nunez don finish liverpool just as jackson don finish chelshit....caicedo and mudyrk na no go area

Nunes still some 11 goals to his credit now

maxiuc:
go and check Salah comment on today's match

Epl matches are fixed and today confirms it

FA are incharge of who wins the league and the former referee interview reveal their secrets Imagine telling the referee how many yellow cards he should give alot happens in this century football games.

Whatever that made Salah to say IF I SPEAK TODAY THERE Will BE FIRE this means more

What I believe is that EPL is being manipulated. In near future, some well kept scandals will be blown open.
