And you will just keep talking...
Shut up, you know nothing !

Answer the question and stop masking your ignorance.

Tell us who are the kings being made by Oba of Benin outside his Kingdom in Nigeria

Truthshots:

So you are not only ignorant, you are also deluded.
How does a normal human being confuse amalgamation with invasion ?
You keep talking about things you know nothing about. Just shut up.

shut the eff off.

Like you know it without the google exercise you quickly underwent. If you knew it without the quick google search, it would be obvious in your post initially.

Take away your ignorance from here

tonididdy:

Haha... The Oba of Benin that makes and unmakes kings.

U're a joker.

who are the kings he makes and unmakes outside Benin?

Alaafin and Ooni have more influence traditionally and politically in Nigeria today. They can be removed by their state governors

Truthshots:


Shut your ignorant mouth up. Let people with knowledge speak.

you won’t drop your ruffled feather to listen and learn from wise people here.
Continue basking in your ignorance

arazanbal:


suspended you say not removed from been an oba that what the arguement is all about bro. right from time no oba has declared any support for anybody contesting for political office, that the reason it palace made a statement to clearify things. na even military government dy on ground dat time self wy belive in brute force but at the end of the day the governor still come apologize.

It is on record that the civilian leaders have more clashes with the Traditional leaders and removal of the traditional leaders than the military.

Many of these traditional leaders always have a part which they lean towards during the election. If they do not lean towards the side of the Governor of the state and acting obvious against the governor of the state like Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, there is bound to be problem

Military governors could have physical power but not political power to do wills cos they are administrators to the military president. They can hardly do things without the consent of the Supreme Military Council

Civilian governors are more politically powerful and autonomous than the military governors

There are precedents for all of this.


Legally a governor can suspend or remove the Oba of Benin (it's happened before), but the question is what will happen afterwards?


You see, the fact is that all the kingdoms and societies in what is now Nigeria were conquered by the colonialists and the colonialists handed power to the Nigerian state and this means that the state (represented by the governor) has power over all the monarchs in Nigeria. However, there's something else you need to consider.


People always say that Abacha removed the Sultan of Sokoto, but they don't know the full story of what happened. The reverred Sultan, Sir Siddiqi Abubakar died in 1988 and the people of Sokoto wanted his son to succeed him. General Babangida appointed his friend, Ibrahim Dasuki as sultan instead. There was a huge riot in Sokoto which lasted several days and many people died. So you see, when Abacha removed Dasuki and installed the son of Sir Siddiqi, he was doing what the people of Sokoto wanted.


The late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediawa was suspended by Governor Onyereagbulam. He had annoyed the governor when the governor wanted to make the chairmanship of the council of traditional rulers rotational (the Oba of Benin had always been the chairman). The governor finally suspended the Oba when the Oba expressed support for the APC candidate in the 1999 elections.


But here's the thing. The Oba of Benin is reverred by the people of Benin and you need his cooperation for peace to reign.

The palace clarified that the Oba did not express support for the candidate and priests of Benin Kingdom laid curses on the governor.

The governor eventually rescinded the suspension and apologised to the Oba.

1) actually 1914 is the year of the demise of Oba Ovonramwen
2) the invasion of independent Benin empire by the British was in 1897, that is when the war opposing both kingdoms took place
3) in 1914 it is Oba Ovonramwen's son who took over with the name: Oba Eweka 2.

4) you know nothing about history, stop saying rubbish. Why do ignorant fools like you just go around talking with authority on things they know nothing about and looking down on those who actually have the knowledge ?

5) in case you don't know, let me give it to you: only the first surviving son of the Oba of Benin will become the next Oba of Benin.
That is why Benin Kingdom has a CROWN PRINCE.

What is the contribution of Benin history knowledge to life achievement that I have to dwell on the in-depth knowledge?

World wars and other relevant histories that have shaped the world are there, why do I have to dwell on one with little significance to even Nigerian history.

The people can only revolt if Oba of Benin is removed. If the Governor is adamant, the offspring who is in line will be installed (if he wishes) and life goes on

Truthshots:


For your information, Oba Ovonramwen was the leader of an independent country called Benin Kingdom/Empire. He fought a war against the British and lost that war which led to him being sent into exile by the victors of that war: British empire.
It is only deluded Nigerians who think that that is the same as a governor in postcolonial Nigeria removing a monarch.

No governor can remove the Oba of Benin, nobody can dethrone the Oba of Benin.

After the demise of Oba Ovonramwen, his son Oba Eweka 2 took over, then his grand son took over then his great grand son took over and now we have his great great grand son.

You see, it is an unbroken royal bloodline which goes back several centuries and perhaps millennia.

i will pardon your buffoonery.

War with who?
Southern Nigeria was already under the control of the British Government in 1914 that he was dethroned. The Oba rebelled against the colonialist And was dethroned and sent into the exile in Calabar.

Having his bloodline on the throne has nothing to do with the fact that the rebel was removed.

Oba Adeyemi was dethroned by the Action Group of Awolowo. Today, his son, Adeyemi iii is the Alaafin of the Oyo town.

Sanusi Lamido’s grandfather was dethroned by Ahmadu Bello, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi the grandson still came on to become the king.

Not the same Oba of Benin that was dethroned and exiled by the colonial leaders.

If dem born am well, let him cross his boundary to the state Governor

Emir of Kano that is politically relevant than him was dethroned by the Governor, let alone Oba of Benin

arazanbal:


not in the ancient city of benin.

which ancient Benin are you talking about?

Wait and let your Oba cross his boundary to the Governor and see the consequence.
Was Oba of Benin (Ovawenrem) never dethroned and sent to exile by the our colonial leader?

I honestly don't understand the kind of football South Africans play. It looks kind of funny with some amateurish dribbles and skills. The type that can't produce result at any global level of footballing competition. They like to play like a typical European team but they do not posses the Europeans skills. And they are too soft as an African team.

I knew Sudan would defeat them. I'm not surprised, but I'll miss them at afcon.

The only thing I will miss about South Africa in AFCON is the perennial beating they do receive from the Nigerian team

Not entirely true. The Auditor General still has the powers to carry out periodic checks of the accounts of these corporations and review their audited accounts.

He said they have no power to compel them if the agencies decline the request from the Auditor General’s office

Our constitution is very faulty.
These agencies which can’t be audited are the agencies having not less than 95% of our revenue and economic resources. These are agencies where corrupt officers are taking out the largest chunk of our resources

Only shekaw and the head of bandits can conduct such audit and then make recommendations.

What forms the boundary between Edo state and Kogi state at the north eastern part of Edo state?

I came across an argument on Facebook between bayelsans and people from rivers state, giving reasons why he is from Bayelsa or rivers and partly yoruba. His name Damini means my own and his sister's name Ronami means be with me in Ogbia language Former president Jonathan's LGA.. The question now is, where is he really from?

He is from Bayelvers State then
