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

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%.

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.
PoliticsRe: Pictures & Videos From APC Presidential Primaries Across The Country by Refinedbeing(m):
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. 🤔
BusinessRe: Edo Women Rejoice Over The Newly Reconstructed Oba Market In Benin City by Refinedbeing(m): 2:33pm On May 23
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.
BusinessRe: Edo Women Rejoice Over The Newly Reconstructed Oba Market In Benin City by Refinedbeing(m): 8:31pm On May 22
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.

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.

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.

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.

Where I fault him is his joining APC
Most of those calling Fubara names can't even fight back against their employers but are here saying Fubara should have fought the president, supreme court and the House all at once!
But in all these, I'm surprised Wike is surrendering Rivers to APC
I thought since his PDP is now "authentic" his anointed will come from there.
Las las even Wike is asslicking Balablu grin grin
Wike is playing a long game. His interest is VP com 2031. If APC offer it to him, he’ll probably join them or better still he’ll easily move back his structures to PDP.

Fubara is a sissy.

Pathetically so!

Fare thee well, sister Fubara!

You never won anyways
Yea he’s a sissy. If he’s to fight , under whose leadership/opposition? Same Atiku that’s Only interested in becoming the president and getting every party’s ticket or obi that doesn’t even care to look out for the folks that followed him to ADC and many of them are trapped in the party now because he just care about himself and only to become the president.

When NASS members/governors had issues with GEJ 2014/2015 before the election it was because they had the backing of a united opposition and great leaders then. Today el-rufai is there, none of them is even talking about him so na Fubara you wan make he fight. Na you go help am with the fight? When he was asked to vacate his position for months, nobody talk anything o. All of una be clown abeg.

As ruthless as OBJ was in his second tenure, there were battles he didn’t win because he met United oppositions looking out for each other not the clowns out there today.

Fubara did the right thing, he should go home and restrategize. We don’t know what 2031 holds.
