It was the Awori who rehabilitated the Rhode slave ancestor, along other slave ancestors. Other regions such as the South East didn't even rehabilitate them except the SW region. But guess what? Chinedu Rhodes has got the nerves to insult Yoruba while living on Yoruba soil just because of the useless Ungrateful toxic Igbo cocumbine his dad had.

Anyway, the Yoruba always say that a home that's got peace and harmony, the bastard has yet to develop. We know the bastard. Chinedu Rhodes who eventually disgraced his father!

This obidient movement will affect everyone both the politicians and the youth (obidient youth) and Nigerian at large because I see the same mistake that was made in 2015 when we were desperate for change and we got buhari/Apc suffering pro max


These obi movements might end up voting in incompetence,inexperience and glutton that have not seem the kind of money they will be expose to and can be more corrupt than the person that was voted out

For example

It a sure disaster waiting to happen if a fresh graduate in engineering take up a 15 floor building project and intend to learn on the job

Labour Party GRV can not use a state like lagos as a learning tool it’s surely a fast track to economic destruction

Akiolu: Benin Monarch Came to Lagos Territories, Fought and Conquered
Nigeria | 5 years ago

Denies claim Benin owns Lagos territory Endorses Ambode’s re-election, warns against rebellion

Gboyega Akinsanmi Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Aremu Akiolu, stirred up another hornet’s nest on Monday on the Lagos-Benin connection, insisting that Benin Monarch came to the territory of Lagos, fought and conquered.

Contrary to widely circulated reports credited to him that the Benin Kingdom owned Lagos, the monarch clarified that he had never said at any time or any place that Lagos and its territories belonged to Benin. Akiolu also warned some unnamed political actors at the federal level working with external forces to capture Lagos State, noting that unlike Ogun State, no person could capture the state as a slave again.

PoliticsWhy Lagos Does Not Belong To Yorubas – Oba Akiolu by rippa(op): 5:38pm On Mar 07, 2023
from 2017

The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has claimed that Lagos State is not part of Yoruba land.

Akiolu’s statement is coming barely a week after he publicly humiliated the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi at an event.

In a statement from Akiolu’s palace, the monarch traced the historical background of the state and why it should not be regarded as part of Yoruba land.

The statement reads: “Coming from the palace, with what I was told by my late paternal grandmother who is a descendant of Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi and also reading from factual Historical books, let me share this Knowledge with you all on Eko/Lagos.

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast.

“It was a major centre of the slave trade until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British Colonial Period. The remainder of modern day Nigeria was seized in 1886 when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its capital due to the struggle of the Bini King.

“Lagos experienced growth prior to the British Colonial rule and even more rapid growth during the Colonial rule throughout the 1960s, 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s till date. Thanks to the Awori’s, Bini’s, Yoruba’s, migrants across the nation and world at large, as no particular group of people can take the glory alone.

“Lagos is made up of Lagoons and creeks. The Lagos lagoon, Lagos Harbour, five cowne creeks, Ebute-Metta creeks, Porto-Novo creeks, New canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Light house creeks.

“The Awori’s and Bini’s are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Awori’s are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori’s were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini’s who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose step-mother was after his head.

“The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa known to the Yorubas as Ooduwa (Oduduwa) was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the Great Benin-Kingdom.

“Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first King of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father’s Kingdom in Benin are the today’s Awori people who settled in Eko now called Lagos.

“In the 1300, the King of Benin-Empire heard from one of his traders who was a settler in Eko on how the Bini’s were treated by the Awori’s who lived in their area. Upon hearing this, the King of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by his son, Prince Ado, which headed the settlement of the Awori’s and demanded explanation.

“On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his Army were more than received. The Aworis asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed. Hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.

“The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son, Oba Ado in the running of Eko.

“From the crowing of Prince Ado as the first Oba of Lagos (then called Eko), Lagos served as a major center for slave trade from which the Aworis, the Oba of Benin and his son the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.

“The Oba of Benin was the head of the Benin Empire which are the present day Western, Southern and Eastern modern day Nigeria. The King never obliged anyone to speak the Bini language as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.

“The name Eko was given to it by the first king of Lagos, Oba Ado, the young and vibrant Prince from Benin. Eko was the land now known as Lagos Island, where the king palace was built.

“The palace is called Idugaran meaning “palace built on pepper farm” Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin together with the early Bini’s settlers in Eko and the Awori people settled in the southern part of Eko called “Isale Eko”. “Isale literally means bottom “. Must have been used to indicate downtown (as in down town Lagos)

“Until the coming in of the Benin’s 1300AD , Lagos geographical boundary was Lagos mainland, Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing post. No one was living there.

“About 1450 AD some Yorubas who hailed from Isheri in Ogun-state and Ekiti were allowed by the King to settle in Eko during a war, they came in a very large numbers thereby surpassing the numbers of the Awori’s and Bini’s. (Hence Yorubas claim to own Eko due to their numbers).

“Oba Ado fell in love with a beautiful woman whose father was Awori and mother a daughter to one of the chief; they had two sons and also a daughter Erelu Kuti, who begot Ologun Kutere who later became King.”

PoliticsRe: Lagos Reps Candidate James Faleke Buys Kogi APC Guber Form by rippa(m): 3:42am On Feb 20, 2023
oyatz:
you are wrong, there was no such law at that time. Yahyah Bello was chosen by the powers that be for political reasons rather than the law. The electoral act was later ammended to accommodate such scenerio of a candidate dying before the completion of the election.

what if the runner-up had decamped to the PDP and rewarded with PDP ticket, would they have gone to take him from the PDP?
nawa o, so u expected APC to give it to a person that did not even buy nomination form cry
someone that was just selected as deputy gov candidate huh
an election that was even declared inconclusive, meaning no winner was declared yet b4 Audu death.

please go and argue with supreme court that interpreted the law

Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun who read the lead judgment on in Mr. Faleke’s case on Friday, said the court dismissed the appeal because his claims were not supported by any existing laws.

“This is a simple law. Since the election had not been completed and the final results issued by the electoral body, Faleke, as a running mate, cannot claim ‎victory in the election,” she said.

She held that Mr. Faleke was not qualified to benefit the votes the APC scored in the contest before the death of the party’s governorship candidate, Audu Abubakar, because he did not meet the condition precedent.

Mrs. Kekere-Ekun said Mr. Faleke neither obtained nomination form nor substantively participated in the APC governorship primaries.

She said that INEC had already declared the election inconclusive before Mr. Audu’s sudden death.

Giving reasons in support of Mr. Bello’s qualification, the judge held that the Electoral Act gives room for substitutions of candidates on account of either death or withdrawal.

She said the law gives powers to political parties to take full charge of the process of selection of candidates for elections, adding that the court lacked the jurisdiction to stop them.

Mrs. Kekere-Ekun, therefore, held that the substitution of the late governorship candidate of the party with Mr. Bello was apt.

“Nothing can be more apt as the governor had fully participated in the governorship primary election of the APC and came second after Abubakar,” she said.

“Unlike Faleke who did not meet that condition, but was simply selected to be a deputy governor

By virtue of the provisions of Section 221 of the 1999 Constitution it is the political parties that actually contest elections

“The governor having become candidate of APC, and legally sponsored by the same party can lay claim to the votes scored by the party in the Nov. 21, 2015 poll,’’ she held.

PoliticsRe: Lagos Reps Candidate James Faleke Buys Kogi APC Guber Form by rippa(m): 7:13pm On Feb 19, 2023
Eriokanmi:
Faleke's turn was rubbished out of sentiments. It would be very difficult for him as yahaya bello has endorsed his padi. When bello was promising that Okun, the yoruba tribe of kogi was next, I knew he was lying. That guy is worse than a crook.

Sentiments won't allow Nigeria to progress..it's still the menace plaguing Nigeria today. Even when it was glaring that Faleke shared same ticket with late Abubakar Audu, Buhari and his cohorts went and picked yahaya bello, who had already left the apc and seen campaigning for the pdp, to run as governor. Amazingly, the same bello is the one suing Buhari today. What has he achieved in Kogi so far? That's the consequence of choosing sentiment over merit. Faleke would have turned the fortunes of kogi around today.

Bello had a transport company called fairplus. The company packed up immediately after becoming governor maybe cos he had seen a better means of making money.

Kogi state and the entire country wouid get sense someday. Say no to sentiments.
You dont know ur constitution
I pity ur ignorance
Before the current amendment of the electoral act, it was clearly stated that the runner up of the primaries will take over in a case of death of the candidate before the election.
