How many years has Ogu been in exile now?

Who send the were go exile to begin with. The f00l1sh dude keeps claiming Nigerian government is constantly seeking to arrest him but dude is there hiding in Ghana an ECOWAS country. Ghana one of the country’s on earth that’s really good friend with Nigeria. If indeed Nigerian government was looking to arrest him, his flight to like prison in Abuja from Accra would be just about couple hours.

This dude is the biggest clown and conspiracist I’ve ever known my whole life. I mean who told this clown the so called whites even care about his black a$$. Same Abacha he claimed was working for his people against the whites wishes died and there was jubilation all across his own country. I wonder how bad it can get to constantly delude oneself and still take pride in it. Like dude WTF.

Hundeyin need to seek help really. I know someday his conspiracist a$$ will still claim Seun, Mynd44, fergie001, and others are all CIA assets. Everyone on earth is a CIA asset except the modafvck3r. WTH

If not for this man stunt of nPDP and then finally APC, Wike, Mama Peace and GEJ for use frustration send dis man commot Nigeria that year aje. 😁😁😁 First mama peace hot slap at the airport then came Wikes government office abi house blockade wey dem nor gree am commot. 🤣🤣🤣.

Amaechi na man, he survived and became one of the most important minister of PMB regime. In fact if not for minister like Amaechi, PMB regime would have been a total failure. But for the trains across every region that’s why we can score the regime 30%.

Even though a total waste of funds but then this is what happen when a party is totally organized.

The reason APC didn't want Obi on the ballot is playing out

Will you people let’s hear word abeg. Obi couldn’t even win any position for anyone across SE his own region in the last bye election. Nor be everything be about una China went back to China lamba master abeg. Make we hear word.

This isn’t even his official CV. It’s something designed by one of those overzealous PBAT supporters. Trash.

Yemmysworld91:
Going by your above assertion, are you agreeing with the Yorubas that Oranmiyan left Ife for Benin?

There's no argument on the fact that he left Benin for Oyo

The fact that the Benin history sounds fallacious makes it difficult to believe.
And the Yoruba historians have over time pushed out their views for the larger world than the Benins. I stand to be corrected though

I am Yoruba, and that’s right. Oranmiyan left Ile-Ife for Benin, install his son as oba then left to found Oyo.

So this Stanley Osifo man is the reason for the APC presidential primary election?

Why do I have this feeling this is PBATs doing of trying to test the water for 2027 to actually know where more works needs to be done. 🤔

Yemmysworld91:
Hmmmm
I like how you marshal your points. Like I already mentioned, this piece of history is one of the most controversial that I have tried to understand with no accuracy. So, don't assume I have an opinion or reached a conclusion.

My little researches show that, Benin is obviously older than the Oyo empire (which of course went on to rule the Yorubas for centuries). But there's no accuracy on which comes first, the Benin or Ife empire. And on the bight of Benin, the Benins obviously had early access to the waters unlike Ife that's deep inside. And there's no dispute on the Benin influence on Lagos, Aworis and Itshekiris.

And I don't think the difference between the Benins and Yorubas is that wide. I strongly believe that both tribes in addition to the Itshekiris can easily blend with each other than any other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

The history has been greatly distorted such that accuracy is difficult

The founder of Ile Ife who eventually turns to become the father of the Yorubas today is Lamurudu. He’s one of those guys that migrated from Sudan/Cush to find a new settlement just like many other West African settlers of today. The only link Ife had with Benin was Oranmiyan who went on to become their king before going on to form Oyo town which later became an empire. The reason why Lamurudu isn’t much in our history as Yoruba was simply because of our earlier Muslim scholars who tried to change the story that Lamurudu was a runaway Saudi prince which isn’t true. He’s just a migrant from Sudan just like the GA people of Ghana too.

Benin people are so confused that they claim Oduduwa happens to be their runaway prince named Izoduwa and that they requested for his son to come back to rule them after they found out he’s old and can no longer return to Benin to rule them. But in reality, Oduduwas reign as the Ooni of Ile-Ife was extremely short because back then the battle for the position was intense between his supporters and that of Obatala and then Ogun. And also Oranmiyan that they always claim to be a son of the so called Izoduwa happens to actually be the son of Ogun and not Oduduwa. Oduduwa didn’t have enough time to do a lot of things as the Ooni of Ife because he took over violently from Obatala and all through his short reign, Obatala and his supporters didn’t let him enjoy peace. The only reason why he’s so revere today in Ile-Ife and across Yorubaland worldwide is that he happens to be the first Ooni of unified Ile-Ife.

So Benin history sounds like a lot of fallacy.

dederocs:
Benin empire state is more than 4000 years old, has had 3 dynasties and 12 kings before the Oba era, oldest yoruba settlement is around 1300 years old, evidence of this is in archeological tests done on the great Benin city walls, Benin moat and priceless Benin bronze works and artefacts. Recent history of 17th and 18th century showed Benin controlling the waterways of Niger Delta axis, down to Lagos and Dahomey, trading with the Portuguese, that stretch of waterway is named after Benin (bight of Benin), first Lagos king was a Benin Prince, Prince Ado. Stop this nonsense, a son can not teach a father anything, a son copies from the father. Benin created your major earlier cities, ile'Ife and Lagos. All these are facts, not myths or fables... till today Benin blood run Lagos royal household, the Aworis etc are Benin princes.

The usual lies. The Aworis are from Ile-Ife 💯 and dude your Oba is a certified Yoruba man inside out. Just rest with your lies.

So theirs Oja Oba in Benin too? Is it also located beside the Kings’ palace?

The major way to ascertain a Yoruba town/settlement is that the Oja obas are always beside the Kings palace and that’s mostly the city centre. Every other parts are built surrounding both.

Not insinuating Benin is a Yorubaland by the way. Just asking out of curiosity and saying so others can learn.

success1smyn:
Lolz you are showing us Adelabu's local government that those that are not with him decided not to come out to vote.

Alli is the winner with over 500k votes. Adelabu didn't even get up to 20000 votes in total.

Have you seen the rest of the results? Cuz this thread indicates warly lead from the results available so far.

Ofunaofu:
Why do you say that? I thought Adelabu was Bola Tinubu’s anointed candidate and anybody Tinubu anoints wins

Tinubu will then force Oyo people to vote for his candidate against Seyi Makindes candidate?

There’s no possibility APC will win Oyo gubernatorial election dude. They have no popular candidate.

Why, I think we Nigerians are obsessed with millions we cannot fathom our 1 million naira being equivalent to 10,000.00 Naira.

So true.

Gerrard59:
The same was said about Jimi Abaje, but he was accused of being an "Ibo candidate".

Na jimi Agbaje turn himself to “Ibo candidate”

damosky12:
Lol. His body language since 2023 was for Obi. You don't know the guy.

I know he is anti APC/Tinubu.

Kobicove:
He's not loyal to Obi but he wants to use his influence

What influence? Are you a clown. He joined the NDC because Chinedu already positioned himself as ADC flag bearer. So what influence when they are just party members? 🤡

Openyamind111:
😂Gbadebo no join NDC? 😂😂😂 Y’all gon lean!

Chinedu I say stalk in ADC. He’ll be flying ADC flag.

JuanDeDios:
I guess so. I hope Mr Doherty doesn't have an Igbo name or something else that the haters will use against him. I'm sure Mr Rhodes-Vivour still has PTSD from the machine gun fire he received about "Chinedu".

Gbarebos name is Chinedu. I wonder why you people are making fuss about it. And it was glaring he knew nothing about the culture of the land he seek to lead and was always talking trash. Doherty is more mature, he won’t be playing that nonsense card Immature Chinedu Gbarebo played in 23.

The end of the road for godfatherism in Lagos.
