TAO11:
Let’s continue to wait for the pre-1900 written evidence of Benin usage of “oba”.

Hopefully we won’t wait till “thy kingdom come”.

See you soon @Afam4eva and everyone else!

Present a written evidence of what the Ọbas of Benin were called from 1500-1900

Shortyy:
I'm talking about real men here. Not urchins like you who don't know their left from their right.

Mrs urchin I will let this slide but if you're ready to get down reply me one more silly comment and your fvck up will be treated

Ofcos he doesn't wish them, he's in his comfort zone and asking the gullible ibos to go about looking for trouble while he keeps his head safe and that of his children

Shortyy:
Ofcos you men's life revolve around women. Any woman that doesn't need a liability (men) is pained. Lol

Get out of that village and see women living happily and comfortably without liabilities (men).

And the real men, are getting married to real women on a daily. Not you poor urchins on this forum.

You know that's a lie, if men's lives revolves around women then it's the same for the women.
If it's sexual satisfaction it can be gotten for a little fee from sex workers

So why do men even need partners? No reason at all. Gone are those days it was required for a man to be married. This is now the era multi baby mamas

Very true bro, no strength to dey chase yanger.
You want am she want am so what's the need for all the yanger and fronting

After almost giving me a minute chance to to think you where actually some worth educated, you just still spoil everything by yourself...

If you and some of your igbo brothers where educated enough, you should have know that, in achieving a nation state, there are processess involved, the Cameroon people did that oh,even you talk say a conference was held in London, you don't just declare it. In such situations, you will be a rebel to the state and war will be declare on you to exterminate you...

The Nigeria federal government then, did the needful and of which they are right... Ojukwu did same when the Niger Delta republic was declare by Isaac boro.

What the ikwerre people did, show's that they are more educated and politically inclined than the igbos. Pitch tent with the party that would favour you is a political strategy...

Bouns round:
During the second world war, the British (Royal navy) seek the help of the Americans because they know they can't not win the war alone and today, the relationship forged from that instance is still in existence today thus Nato.

When the ikwerre joined the so called igbos socio cultural organization, what they where after, was a relationship not ethnic identification

Ride on

They are so quick to marginalize anyone that associates with them

debbydams:

pretydiva:

Savage reply

gregyboy:
You don start again with your lies


The word oba has been used by the European since 1400 ad to address the Benin monarchy


And yorubas started using it to address their king after 1930


You just came out of oblivion and your first comment came with tears and lies

Long time bro, your write-up is absolutely correct and we'll detailed

What happened is really sad, but you can't stereotype guy with this.
It happens even from girls, I wish you quick recovery.

* Marriages will last longer
* Rulership/Governance in Africa would be awesome
* Court of law will judge sincerely
* False witnesses will be a thing of the past

Pecuman:
In the video they asked them to speak THEIR language, to speak Ikwerre Language and they spoke a dialect of Igbo.

If I ask a Nigerian that can't speak the native languages to speak THEIR language, they will say the can't speak it. They win speak Pidgin and say that is their people's language.

1. Ok in that way will we then say their tribe is now pidgin tribe?
2. Not every Nigerian speak can pidgin nor their language I know a few of them and in the future it's gonna increase with the constant migration from Nigeria.

Pecuman:
Their argument is that Ikwerre language and culture is Igbo.

Just from this short clip.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFEQzqlaA1I

We see that when they go around asking Ikwerre people to speak their language it sounds little different from the Orlu and Aro dialects from Igbo.

If you ask the Yoruba or the Igbo in Edo and Delta State to speak their language will they start speaking Edo language?

Lemme ask you this, we have many young generations in Nigeria now that can't speak their languages but speak English fluently does it make them British?

At seme border we have Nigerians who speak French at the Cotonou in Benin Republic we have people who speak English as well.
It's common to speak languages you share border a with.

Simply amazing, it beats my imagination how our fathers achieved this considering the technology available to them as at that time.

And the so called ohaneze could not give warning to IPOB for the threat placed on Wike?

With all the borrowed money, what did they do with it

IPOB are making people from Igbo ethnic group look stupid, uneducated and a complete illiterate...



From the west of Edo State, you have yuroba Edo mix-up in cultural and traditional settings...
Their are traditional title in Edo State with title oba, I am not talking about the oba of Benin



From the east of Edo State, you have Igbo Edo mix-up in cultural and traditional settings...
Their are traditional monarch in Edo with the title igwe


Bouns round:



The word Ado-ekiti mean people from Edo or royalty's from Edo. Now are the Ado-ekiti people Yoruba or Edo? Please answer this question for me

Good writeup

tobechi74:
Even

Those who have not lived in Igboland will find it difficult to believe, but Igbos treat strangers better than the indigenes. The visitors get favours the indigenes cannot get. The strangers get waivers that the indigenes cannot get.

@OP I believe you can answer this question I have.

Why is it near impossible for a non-indigene to buy land in the east.

Juliusmalema I will also want to hear from you on this

Well Nigeria is like a dilapidating building being constantly patched-up, which will still fall

samuk:
Ask for the expert sources for each of the bogus claims they’ve made. For example: since they have the burden of proof having made those claims, then put the following request to them:

(a) Can you show me (or cite me) an expert evidence which supports your claim that ”no Yoruba traditional ruler used the Oba title until the 1900s”?

Juliusmalema:
Well there are things not deniable.

But be as it may, will comfortably start dragging the Monikers anywhere and any time it surfaces to tell you I am fully aware since I may not be succinct in what I am saying.

Drag them, doesn't bother me

Juliusmalema:
Lol

I know all your Monikers here but the reason I choose to ignore you because as far as Ikwerre issue is concerned I fully support your opinion and their Bini issues.


Would have fully joined the last thread before it was deleted, by then you will know I Sabi all your Monikers



So since the thread is gone let me continue ignoring and be watching on sideline ..


Ikwerres are Bini , I fully agree.

Because you have multiple monikers doesn't mean everyone does the same
