Slavery of the mind

Before you take over a strong man's house you must first bind him, either by trickery or violence.

They chose trickery and later resorted to violence.

Nigeria a mere geographical expression- Awolowo

The CREW will not like this.

He should keep his stinking mouth shut, and please how's this news on nairaland?

You decided to be greedy and ate more than you needed and you come online to spew rubbish.

Besides your wife cooked the food.

I see

Kai.... Nigeria who do you this thing?

Mind your business in a bar.

babatee100:
Ur PDP did this for 16 years and u want to bring them back. ako tile ta....

Sowore 2019 or nothing

I don't engage in arguments or political conversations. I have written my own opinion and i believe Its an opinionated forum.

Domo sir.

PDP or nothing, all other ground is sinking sand.

if people lobby to see him then it's those in charge of the process. While he was crown prince my friend father met with him unknowingly just at the palace gate when he and some idokpa cda pple went to put omeh in his door post. The crown prince told my friend father to go back to his house that nothing will happen. before the man drove home the CDA pple ran to his house and removed it because they got a call from the palace. Since then till now they are afraid of my friend father in the community. They don't know how he got to see the crown prince then. Funny thing is that the man is Owan...


As for your village, i know it. As i am writing this message i am in Okada.




Oba gha to kpere

ise!!!

Where in okada?

After ganging up against you, next will be hanging you up.

sir its just 2 years and you already want the Oba to start having security personnel watch over your house sir. He isn't the chief security officer of the state na. The Oba market incidence happened when there was a fire sir and people stole. Sir if you know how the disbandment of CDA made the state beautiful you will appreciate him, because it was his Father time CDA started. Do you know how palace policies has changed, before people use to lobby to see the Oba but things has changed sir. We all know cultism is a menace in Benin and environs and it has eaten into the fabrics of our society. But it will change with time as we begin to evolve as a people. Lastly can you tell me the name of your village in Ovia North east?

The fire incident happened during the time of his father , I only cited that as a reference. Yes he stopped the CDA but people still lobby to see him, I had to introduce a friend who was having land issues to the crown prince and that solved his problem.

I am from Egboha in okada.

Thank you.

jomonic:
If I understand you, my question is how you can compare him with the incumbent. Who will you choose between him and the incumbent on their knowledge of economics.

FYI: I am anti-Buhari I have never liked him. I neber compared anybody though. I will choose Donald Duke.

prolog2:
what is "edolite" ?
My people are refferred to as Edo. And you are not one of us, you are probably from imo-state. For your information we were already called Edo long before the creation of nigeria. And the Edo people and land are not confined to edo state, Delta state is part of Benin Kingdom and its inhabitants are Edo.
Dude, why are you trying to pretend to be Edo, you are igbo, your "edolite" gave you away.
Inferriority complex makes you troll all day while claiming to be what you are not.

Look at this ozuo I am from ovia north east. Why argue with you self, it's not a fund raiser.

This make who has no in depth knowledge of economics wants to rule a geographical space. Guy go to the Senate.

Money and religion...tufia

wristbangle:


Let am hear wetin u just talk.

As na Glo him dey use, na after election him go hear

Favor99:
Teflonjake is not Edo, he talks like a tribalistic Nigerian from one of the other 35 states. Look how he is denigrating the oba.
It’s them people from the other 35 states that talk like this.
Pay him no mind

And FAVOR99 is the edolite?

When una see truth make una talk am, ethnicity which is our biggest problem must die.

Well I am from Ovia.

Dollarboss93:
You are not alone......

I am here with you.....

I am very sure shehu sani is a Glo subscriber.

Everything about him is slow.

Dreadful:
Nnamdi Kanu is not Jonathan! He's extra ordinary beyond your comprehension and your instincts as well. Nnamdi Kanu shall never be disgraced rather he'll soar higher from glory to glory. Let's watch and see!

You are right.

Happy Sunday.

Dreadful:
Your post had no meaning! If you're for someone be for him or her. Be plain and straightforward for once in your life. How can u claim you love someone and also wished he's disgraced?? Clown#

Still you lack understanding.

So because I like the man I should ignore what my instincts tells me?

In 2015 I was all for Jonathan but I told doyin okupe I see your oga loosing, he kept an open mind to my narrative and today we are still friends.

AreaFada2:
I knew him far better than you. Not least during his visits to my late relative, one of the Enogies of the Kingdom. Even before he became oba. As little kids back then. I will remind you that most Enogies are children of sons or brothers (princes of Benin) of previous Obas.

How do you even know that no call was made to the police? Were you there? So if the public cannot place a distress call to the police, what is the purpose of the police? I had high ranking people in the police, all now retired. So do not assume what you do not know or accept current mediocrity as the norm. That the FG has allowed police to rot to the point of police demanding fuel money or to be provided with a car first, does not shift the blame to ordinary citizens or traditional authorities.

Oba Erediauwa was far more relaxed than the current Oba. The reforms he's currently carrying out have not happened since Oba Eweka II's time in 1914.

Anini & gang were robbing in Bendel state in the 1985/1986. Not much Oba could do about it. I got to sneakily see daily briefing about insider workings/investigation during Anini time. Family members were in journalism and law enforcement back then. The police didn't even have the correct photo of Anini.

Obas control no organs or institutions of state. Put blames where they belong. Oba Market, airport, govt house area, Aduwawa or wherever robbers or cultists operate, Obas and chiefs have no institutions to tackle them. The political leaders have the constitutional duty.

Before you go on to "Obas get money from govt", the circa 4m Naira or whatever current annual allowance from govt, is not even enough to run palace bureaucracy for a week. The amount Lucky Igbinedion as governor even embezzled part of then. This Oba worked in diplomacy and private business for nearly 40 years (he's mid-60s now) before becoming Oba. Hence wealthy in his own right.

And what led to the anini rampage ? A son of the place and a member of their gang was killed even after they settled the military governor...A plot twist he went on leave and the military administrator sent to oversee the state during that time signed kelvin eweka's execution order.

So let's not absolve the palace of not been able to do nothing.

I know about the enogie history I know my bini well. I was opportune to meet the oba a lot of times.

And law enforcement I laugh... The person(my gateway to this world) who investigated anini's case and nailed inspector iyamu who was a gallant officer but greed led to his fall.


The AIG whom his driver was shot and accused for his death is my uncle. If he should give you an off the record role played by the traditional institution at that time you will weep.

Mind you not all Enogies are related to the oba. The enogie of ogbeson's late daughter has a child for the present king. I know, people know , the palace knows.

Let me add the leader of the gang was Monday Osunbor, Anini was a mere driver. After osunbor was caught he said give anini 2weeks you go catch am, he no get sense.

Born2Breed:
Ha! Try learn and master that heavenly language.

I was born but didn't grow up in Benin. With the help of friends and families back home I strived to master the language.

Make we try, before other people language go become our mothers tongue.

Abeg join me for breakfast, today go betta pass last Sunday.

Koyo otemwen!

Amen oooi

Thanks

Born2Breed:
Ovbio'ba. Domò sir.

Na for here my bini end o.... A shame I can't speak the language but I can hear small sha o....them no allow us grow up here.

How's your Sunday starting up ?

Born2Breed:
I'm a daughter of shoil(soil).

Lol ko sister.

Born2Breed:
It's okay madam .
Blame the state government and the police. If you are 15mins drive from the scene of robbery it means the governors office, state cid and officers mess which are all 15mins from the palace were all privy to this information.
There was absolutely nothing the palace could have done to stop a robbery in progress if those incharged of security turned a deaf ear.

Oh you are a she lol, pardon me.

You seem to know about security locations in the state, are you from Edo state or based in Benin?

thebossagain:
I think next time they shouldn't nbe a to to substitute candidate its so unfair for those that have worked so hard to win the primaries. So unfair.

Oga it was *hold something in trust for me*

AreaFada2:
So how do you know Oba was in the palace at that point?

So if normal citizens make a distress call to the police, they should not respond? It should take the Oba calling the police commissioner before they respond?

Some have no value for their tradition and that's fine. Others who do should be allowed to. Live and let's live.

The monarchy precedes Nigeria by millenniums. Nigeria as we know it will cease to exist and the monarch will continue. The finest achievements of Benin Empire, among the finest in Africa as a whole, were made under ancient Obas. Not as part of Nigeria.

Transfer your aggression/frustration to the heirs of Lord Lugard in government, not monarchs that FOR NOW are only custodians of culture and tradition.

So live your life and let others do too.

How you absolve our leaders of little blames baffles me.

If you know about the present Oba's father you won't be writing this. GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.

The man was very active, you dare not steal around his palace. He will invoke the gods on you. It was during his time people were returning stolen items in broad day light. So what's his son's excuse ?

An ordinary citizen to pick up a phone to call the police?

Oga they exchanged fire in front of oba market police station. Mind you it wasn't between the police and hoodlums o, it was a gun battle between 2 cult groups the aiye and eiye.

osax4pal:
Sense u don't have, if robbers should hold a place hostage for an hour as u claimed is it the palace you are to blame or the NPF and the government and yourself because am sure your poverty is not only of the mind but also your pocket you did not have credit on your phone to call the police My dear you are a foolish fool

Hello sir/madam.

I am richer than you are, don't even sweat it. I am even laughing

Sighs. I live in the real GRA, a 15mins drive from the palace, if I can be aware of the happenings around the palace, then the oba should.

FYI: I reached out to the crown prince (my friend) and he even agreed that his father has a role to play.

When you survive without politics and favours you can talk at will.

In obasanjos voice I dey laugh o.

Born2Breed:
That's a new title.

He may not be aware and there are citizens around who can call too. There is police station at Oba market,police barrack behind observer,police at aideyan,post office and house of assembly complex. If no one could contact any of them around that area then stop blaming Omo'noba.

How you absolve our leaders of little blames baffles me.
There's nothing one will tell me about the palace I know how about their information sharing.

Oga before his father passed away, God bless his soul. He was always on ground. You can't rob around his palace and go scot free.

It was during his father's time a pastor returned a bag of rice claiming it was stolen by his son from the oba market, why? Omo'noba placed a curse.

So this new king should be proactive his father was so don't give me the excuse of he's not aware.....His father was always aware he should stay find ways to be too.

Before i go ...cultists exchanged fire in front of the oba market police station....so that's even enough for the oba to know.

Our system is dead finish.
