25-yr-old Ubulu Uku King Returns Home After Years studying Abroad amidst jubilation

Onyemaechi, Onwordi Ibori Ubulu, others said Obi Home Coming is a blessing

The 25 years old Obi of Ubulu Uku kingdom Obi Chukwuka Noah Akaeze has returned home after studying abroad .

The Obi was received at the Asaba International Airport on Thursday by thousands of his people who stormed the airport with jubilation to receive him .

The Commissioner for Technical Education Hon Joan Onyemaechi , Senior Special Assistant on Youth Mobilization to the Delta State Governor Hon James Onwordi Endurance known as Ibori Ubulu among others described the Obi home coming as a blessing to Ubulu Uku kingdom.

They noted that the celebration of the Obi is as a result of the love the people has for him considering how impactful he has been to the kingdom .

The obi while applauding the people of ubulu uku for the tremendous support said he will always protect the interest of the kingdom.

He also thanked the immediate past governor of Delta State Sen Ifeanyi Okowa and the current governor Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori for the support over the years .

Obi Chukwuka Noah Akaeze was crowned king of Ubulu-Uku kingdom and was giving staff of Office by the Delta State state government at the age of 18 in 2016.

Thereafter he traveled abroad to continue his education being a lover of education.

Eight years later, he has returned back to rule his people .

He was just 18 when his father the late king became a victim of murder in 2016.

Ubulu-Uku is located in Aniocha South Local Government area of Delta State

Like I said you are just being sentimental . Even your opening statement is a direct opposite of what you claim to preach .

All the historical people you wrote up there are just to whip up unnecessary sentiments again . I will not engage you on that . Even the David you wrote about , read about his atrocities in war, love and family .

Your type are always quick to insult Nigerians because of your myopic and biased mentality . You falsely believe you have attained a state of morality hence become a self appointed moral policeman. Even the almighty US is way more morally bankrupt than Nigerians .

So sir sit your sentimental ass down and drink water !


I won’t go on with u. Every body is corrupt but one should know how to properly behave. We obviously do not value life much here. Our orientation and mindset shows everywhere in our society. You are obviously part of this Society... u are a product of it.
The governor though he may have been treated unfairly or even there may have been attempts on his life, however, civility and progressive mindset would give him the ability to at least pretend... he was supposed to show value for life and respect for death. All these seemingly trivial things matter in our society. U may find it had to grasp this mentality I am espousing because again, you are part and parcel of this society.

A lot of your mentality and many other Nigerians aren’t different from animals. That’s why our society is like this.
Why do we adore Mandela and Ghandi to this day? There is what is regarded as civil character. When Saul died David mourned extraordinarily. Mark Anthony eulogized Brutus after he saw their end. Ceaser too eulogized Pompei. These are civil character and human values you are supposed to acquire in schools. These are the real reason why we go to school so that we form the proper mindset and attitude. These are what they teach us in church (or maybe you are not a Christian).

His erstwhile boss and the Ondo State House of Assembly tried to get him kicked out for demanding constitutional transfer of power when he became incapacitated.

They made him the enemy and treated him badly till the last minute. I'd have been surprised if he was all moody and everything as that'd have meant he's a pretender. I like me a person who is upfront in how they feel.

The Office of the Governor can't be personalised. Governance must go on.

If saying the truth or being blunt is what you call bullying, that is your own cup of tea. Obviously, she is not protective of her husband. The last time I checked,she brought her husband's issue on social media by accusing one of the aides to the governor of giving him concoction. The next thing she did was displaying her picture with that of her husband (on wheel chair) on social media. Women,especially married ones should comport themselves very well on and off social media.
She showed the picture to proof (which is obviously a lie) that her husband is fit for service. She was trying to protect the man and his job. Didn’t u see that the man too raised up his fingers in some victory sign? That’s to tell u they planned it together, with the close family, aids and matured children.
Women in that situation should actually be pitied. They are the ones at the forefront facing all those struggles

If only me like this becomes a governor or president, I will do much better than this lot.
What soludo is doing unwittingly is creating another touts to replace those ones he want to take off the streets. This our administrators aren’t smart.
If u want to set up such a task force, u ensure u vet the applicants very well. Preferably, employ peoples that graduated with at least decent grade. Those ones are polished and exposed.
And it’s very important to set the applicants aside and give them rigorous training for at least a year. The training should be based on civil studies, human relations, history, IQ tests, Gun and weapon handling education, martial art, health fitness, temperament and first aid education.
I saw those guys handling some alleged touts in a video some days ago and they weren’t looking different themselves

Benin was carried to Lagos Island by the Yoruba Itsekiri who had Ijebu roots in the area

The Awori who were under Oyo at the time granted you permission to Stay in Lagos Island and that is why Oba of Benin and Oba of Lagos has no Land in Lagos because he didn't Conquer it !!


Ask the Oba of Benin to sell you one Square kilometer of Lagos if you think he conquered it

Can Benin Swim ,NO
Can Benin Canoe NO

Na Itsekiri put you for head carry Benin come Lagos

Benin collapsed in Lagos on the same day the Itsekiri became Independent of Benin

Since the Benin are not Capable of Walking on Water to Lagos
My friend no talk again abeg. U no know has things dey work. You think it was 20 people that were in Benin? Only in the city the Portuguese wrote that there were about 50thousand people. And when u compare it with cities then, it was one of the biggest cities in the world in its time.
What’s boat that they couldn’t build. People that then built organised cities with straight roads and street lights (testimony of the Portuguese). Itshekiri was their arm close to the coast. Benin wasn’t a coastal town, but Itshekiri being a junior ally had what was effectively the naval arm of the Benin Empire. When Benin needs to wage wars that had to be around water Itshekiris were bound to provide the necessary logistics. That’s how it works. Even if the Oba had boats which one can imagine it had because they sent ambassadors to European countries and even had a prince of theirs travel to Europe, they most probably would have anchored those boats/ships in ports in Itshekiri and maybe Eko

Binis never conquered Eko. It was founded by the Binis because of its close proximity to the Ocean which was vital for trade with the British. Other Yorubas joined the trade and they were made to pay royalties to the Oba of Bini. There might be other Yorubas in other parts before the Binis came but not Eko. The name was given to it by the Binis
I have had this argument too much. I can’t go over it again. Benin’s force under Ashipa conquered Eko. Please instead of arguing here with me u can quickly research it.
I do not know who got to Lagos first, but when Benin conquered it, it was Aworis they conquered and subjugated

Benin Cannot even Swim not to talk of fighting the Awori and Ijebus who can swim like fish in Water

When it get down to the Wire and you dig deeper you will discover that the people who actually ran the show were the Itsekiri who even had Ijebu roots anyway

Na Itsekiri carry Benin come Lagos

And the Itsekiri even consider themselves to be Yoruba' People anyway

Benin People cannot Swim and they Cannot Canoe
So Benin defeating Awori and Ijebus on Water is out of the Question

Just say it was the Itsekiri
And the Itsekiri had Ijebu roots
Una no sabi history. Una just dey look at history from the prism of those Yoruba abija wara bi ekun movies. Warri was an ally of Benin. Warris force is effectively the naval force of Benin. Benin had overwhelmingly influence and control over this people.
Wetin be the meany of people fit swim and people no fit swim? I believe I think ear then like u see in Yoruba films is made up of like ten people against some 15people carrying only jazz. War then was the movement of thousand of people with armor, helmets, guns, few horses (as it’s the case with Benin), spears and hundreds of Boats of different sizes.

It remains a shame that there was even an attempt to use dishonest means to revise history and suggest that the original owners of the land are now the bini settlers. Haba!What a fraud!

It's so sad and it's a lesson to communities currently giving land to settlers to ensure that they keep records very well like our Yoruba forebears did. Kudos to our forebears for keeping accurate records for a period like this. They had the foresight that some of the descendants of the settlers may some day lie that they own the land.

But for these history books that documented who owns Lagos, none of our forebears would have ever proven to us that the had an inkling that some day the descendants of bini visitors in Lagos will some day covet and brazenly lie that they own Lagos. Ha! Aiye ma nika o.

Asari Dokubo was absolutely right in his account and his anger at the Oba of Benin was because the Oba of Benin even removed the assistance his Ijaw gave to the Benin who attacked that part of Yorubaland.

It's been one lie after another further diminishing the Benin in the eyes of many. From the bursting of the Benin lie that the Oba of Benin never leaves the palace , internet era came and exposed the blatant lie. Next was lie that they did not originate from Ile Ife and heads of past Oba of Benin were not buried in Ile Ife but the Yoruba elders were so clever to preserve the history and location in Ile Ife till date. The 3rd lie is the attempt to claim a land that does not belong to them not knowing that the Yoruba documented it well.

The only reason I think they lie in this manner is pride. Now pride has led to fall.

Below is a picture that shows how far behind the Oba of Benin is behind the Ooni of Ife. This picture, all other evidences including the Orun Oba Ado in Ile Ife and oldest history books is the triumph of history over lies. Check my signature for free stuffs!
The king may have not mentioned it the correct way, but what is the fact and that does happen often in ancient time is that Benins defeated Lagos and confiscated it. They set up a monarchy that became the focal point of Lagos.
Lagos paid tributes for more than 300years. This is an acceptance of Benin lordship over Lagos. Benins were effectively the landlord (may not be landowners) of Lagos all those time.
It’s only in 1860, about 150 years ago that Lagos got independence from Benin when they stopped paying tax and tributes to them after political wranglings. Still, the royal house in Eko now which is still arguably the most important in the whole of Lagos is of Benin ancestry.
This are the facts. No need to drag issues unnecessarily

About the local government. Court injunction stoped him. It’s there u can research. There were court cases from many angle that needed spurting out. A lot of credit needs to go to him from the way he administered the state because his time was a turbulent one. There were serious opposition from many quarters back by the federal government.
That year he budgeted that amount for his office was an exceptional case. A lot needed to be done in the office after it fell into disrepair.
