You watch too many nollywood movies.

it's not nollywood, try this in any part of Esanland and watch your family die off one by one, starting with either your firstborn son or husband.

This is painful sha.... But we still have good people here though

nothing painful there in my opinion. Western women scam their men in broad daylight with the help of their useless court. It is only fair that they use the stolen money to buy weed and tramadol for some miscreants across the Atlantic.

If Hitler wasn't so obsessed about Stalin, London would have been called Loendön today.


Below is a picture of their almighty Queen rendered homeless by Hitler. Buckingham Palace was destroyed to rubble.

I watched an interview of one of German pilot, this guy said the attack on London wasn't a serious one, Hitler just sent a few planes to drop small bombs on UK without naval support or any ground assault. The guy almost cried sef when he said Hitler later told them it was just a distraction for operation barbarossa

Never thought men would have an issue with the movie, c'mon it's just a movie !

I bet you a guy will literally be beaten to death by fellow men if he starts calling himself a queen like girls are calling themselves Kings. Females are always trying to subtly drag irrelevant things with male when they know very well the reverse will never ever be tolerated

I saw the article says she could face up to 12 months in jail. I can imagine when her fellow jail mates are talking about how they murdered people to land in jail and then they ask her to share her own crime story

she won't be in jail with violent criminals.

What are US Marines still doing in Kabul. I thought they were asked to evacuate Afghanistan by Biden?

Even as at 2weeks ago the Taliban through their spokesman were saying that they're waiting for American to vacate their territory so that they'll begin their own government.

So why haven't they vacated. The afgan refugees they're struggling so hard to rescue, didn't lift a finger to defend themselves, so why should you keep making your women widows and your children fatherless because of another man's war...

Osama who took refuge in Afghanistan after 9/11 is dead, most of the conspirators of 9/11 are all dead.

So what's with the obsession with Afghanistan?

they have until 31st
The attack is actually against the Talibans more than against the US.

Lol!
You obviously didn't listen to Igwe Achebe interview well.
Onitsha lived in Ife having migrated from Igboland, later moved to Bini , had issues with Bini people, and came back home to Igboland, all these while maintaining and retaining their Igbo language and names.

Is Onitsha Monarchy really same as Bini?
As travellers, Onicha came back home with foreign cultural exposure.
So they created a unique system based on Igbo tenets, but garnished with Bini flamboyance.

For example, the Monarchy in Onitsha doesn't go from father to son.
It moves from one rulling house to the other, unlike Bini that moves from father to son.

The Title of the king is Obi and Igwe,both Igbo royalty titles, and not Oba or Ogie, as found among Edoid and Yoruboid races.

The King is not the owner of the land. He is a bit ceremonial. The land belongs to families as obtainable in Igboland.
There are also the Ofo and Ogu institution of ancient Igbos and the Nze na Ozo council.

You will be stupid if you think Onicha Monarchy is same as Bini's.

the initial system of governance prior to the Oba dynasty moved from house to house. What were igbos doing in far away ile ife? If that account were true why aren't there native Igbos in ife like we have Ikas here?
That whole story does not even make an iota of sense

Ariani:
Lol!
You are not so wise.
Who doesn't know that British expendition soldiers were mainly blacks recruited from neighbouring tribes? The British army that invaded Arochukwu had many recruited sell out Igbos from non Aro affliated groups in them. Some of them had vendetta against Aro though.

Benin ruled Onicha? You are not okay.
You suffer from inferiority complex and need to attach to Igbo blinding glories and splendour.
Onicha people were Igbos who went to Bini to civilize you savages, but had to leave when you wanted to kill them and returned back home and were welcomed back into the receptive warm hands of fellow Igbos.

Your brother recently posted an Interview by Igwe Achebe Nnaemeka, go look for an Igbo man to interpret the interview for you.

How dare you place your village kingdom side by side with those great empires who are associated with one world changing inventions or the other?
Are you a comedian?

I am not talking about a few sellout/mercenaries, I'm talking about conquistadors. No kingdom on earth ever survived black conquistadors. That was Europeans defeated and annihilated kingdoms in the Americas. Tell black conquistadors that there's riches hidden in this Palace, capture the king and all the gold and bronze will be yours and watch them annihilate a full kingdom.

lol you have comprehensive issues?
I said onicha was founded by the benins
https://www.britannica.com/place/Onitsha-Nigeria

If we are to go by the anichebe version which is also the Benin version it's even worse.
Chima the son of the Oba who was most likely birthed by Ika slave was denied the throne so he took some loyalist and migrated far away across the Niger.
I was basically talking about Onitsha being founded by Benin adventurers and modeled after the Benin monarchy.

Ariani:
Funny enough when the British captured Bini City.
They complained of your savagery uncivilized ways.
Many rotten flesh of human sacrifice altars all over the fettish village Bini City.
Very funny.
Arochukwu defended Aro chukwu town for full four days before losing the town.
But your backward Village empire of fables lasted for just a day and then capitulated! Go figure.
The Enogies are Oba stooges hence all surrendered to the British immediately they captured the Oba.

Was Bini an empire? Who did you rule over? Ikas?

There is a reason developed world jettisoned Monarchical system for democratic ones, they (Monarchical system) were defective systems and doesn't suit the massess.

We had clear leaders. They were just not a fat old Oba with many wives to Bleep around and feed fat on people sweat We were too sophisticated to allow such.
Our leaders were elected/appointed for specific tasks at specific times. Your Bini were the real savages who took weapons from Portuguese and went about terrorizing your fellow blacks to exchange for pieces of bronze.
Shameless minorities.

The war was already lost before Ojukwu fled because of the international sabotage that led to Biafran blockade and the starvation policy.
Ojukwu was not captured. Biafra was starved of food, which by the way was a war crime.

Either way, Ojukwu wasn't a king neither were we running a Monarchical system in Biafra, so I fail to see the relationship.
If you had killed Ojukwu, and Biafra still had access to food and weapons,I promise you that the war would continue full throttle with new leader appointed.
Either way, you are comparing apples and oranges here.
Let's stick to your fat old slow Oba and your defective Monarchical system that couldn't defend Bini for more than 1 day under the power of Maxim guns, whereas Arochukwu town was defended for 4 full days and thereafter rallied behind and continued the battle outside the administrative headquarters of the Confederacy for another full 5 months.

did Africans join forces with the British invade your so called arochukwu? Hoping to loot gold and bronze? You don't know where the Benin empire ruled over lol? Ado-ekiti, Ondo, Lagos, Agbọ even Onicha, your only notable place in Nigeria was founded by the benins. The Benin wasn't an empire all through the time. Most of the territories were lost mainly because benins preferred to live in the city that was how most of the territories were overrun by the other populous tribes.
Talibans also elect their leaders.
By your logic Roman empire, China, Persia, Britain France, Germany, Ottoman, Austro-Hungary were all savages?
Oba Ovonramwen was neither fat nor slow.

Ariani:
We are saying same thing.
Phillips or whatever wasn't acting on official orders.
There was not enough guns and not enough men in his ranks.
That's not how the British expedition works.
British expenditions come out you gun blazing with their maxims, no sneaking around.

You just butchered poorly armed British man acting alone without official backing, any fool can do that.
When the real British official Calvary arrived, you were blown away in a matter of hours.
You couldn't just deal, you lack the sophistication to fight such opposition because your village Monarchical system of Government is defective to.
This is the truth, but because the Igbo generally mind our business, so we don't go about telling you how stupid your Monarchical system was and is, foolish Reno and co now think they can come and belittle our superior system, hence the need to put you empty braggarts and your village Monarchy where you belong.
No offense!

If the affliated forces to Oba Bini are strong and not just empty heads whose chain of command rests solely on Oba, why did they all capitulate and surrender immediately the Oba was captured by the British?

That's the question you should be asking yourself.

who surrendered? Did Uromi stop having a king? Did any of the enigies lose his crown with the Oba?
The city of is relatively small, which kingdom hasn't fallen when attacked from all sides especially by people close to you who know your terrain.
The Igbo savages you are hyping who fought in jungles can't be compared with a well developed kingdom. They can be likened to the talibans in Afghanistan. Yes it is more difficult to beat savages hiding in bushes with no clear leaders just like the Vietcongs and the Afghans it doesn't make them more sophisticated. All develop empires and kingdoms in human history had Kings and should the king get captured the war is over.

If your savage life of old, with no clear leader and hiding in bushes to fight was so developed and advanced why didn't you use the same tactics during the Biafran war?
Why did your people surrender the moment Ojukwu ran away and Philip begged the feds to spare his life?

Ariani:
More fables.
The first 250 British people that came were not prepared. They came without official royal backing, and there was no war self. You just rounded them up and butchered them .
That doesn't count as part of the Bini expedition as it was not officially sanctioned by the British crown.

The official Bini expedition lasted for just over 1 day.
You were not worth shishi. How can you withstand the British when you have one fat lazy man who bleeps his brain out everyday with many wives , take decisions for you, since you are incapable of thinking for yourselves! And this ineffective archaic system of Government that the world had jettisoned is what you want to compare with the water tight highly sophisticated democracy of council of elders, age grade leaders council, council of Chief priests of deities, market women council aka Omus, council of title men( Nze and Ozo) and council of married daughters of the land, aka Umuada, that all sit in a round village square and debate on crucial issues and then appoint titular temporarily head of the council for the time being?
You lots are mad.


The affliated groups to Oba Bini were not free men. They were inferior men and stooges with no power to make decisions of their own.
That's why immediately the British captured the Oba who tried to negotiate his freedom with silver and gold, the spinless enogies and affliated groups to Oba had to bow too.
There was no resistance.

Your village Monarchical system is defective and the ease with which the British brought you under colonial rule in a day proved it.

In contrast, the Igbo representative complex democracy proved superior in stopping a colonial force , because there was no particular all powerful head to decapitate.
The power resided with the people and whenever an acting head was decapitated, another head was quickly appointed.

lol. Phillips wrote a letter to London asking permission to invade Benin because the Oba banned trades with the itsekiris who were supplying the brits. Philips did not wait for a reply and organised 250 men who hid their weapons and pretended to be tourists. The Ijaws sent a message to the Oba to the Oba, the Brits were told to go back, they refused fights broke out and 253 of them were killed. Britain humiliated and fearing other regions might follow suit sent a message the governor of South African protectorate. He was informed of Phillips letters which claimed that there were more than enough bronze in the city to pay for whatever logistics it would take to claim the City. Africans soldiers in the southern African protectorate were recruited and promised bronze and gold. Message was sent to the governor in Niger delta Protectorate and he enlisted West Africans they attacked from 3 sides, at least 3,000 Africans and a few Brits who remained near their ship until the fight was over. This is the only reason the city was ransacked, to pay the Africans who did the job.

What the fucck are trying to say that other Kings weren't free men? You are just there in your IPOB hallucinating about people you know nothing about. The first time an Ọba tried to overreach into the South he was killed there. Ozolua who ran circles round Yorubas in Ado-ekiti Annexed most parts of Idah was killed in Uromi. Lagos was created by by mostly Esan and etsako soldiers. That's why you have places like lekki, idumota, idumagbo etc having esan names. Uromi was the military head of the kingdom. You have no idea what you are talking about

All the edo intellectuals put together can't light up a single candle.

85% of your population are stack illiterates, u have no reputable achievement to boast of in the history of Nigeria and Africa as a whole.

your women are being used on the shores of Libya and Europe as a pit latrine where white men defecate on them and set them up on chains.

Bragging about natural intelligence when no one from your rustic state has ever bagged an academic award.

lol normal people will be talking all these clowns who have no home will still be putting mouth. You that half the population of your youth are either on death row in Indonesia and Malaysia or rotting away in the some unmarked grave in East
This Reno story really pain you. You guys haven't slept for the past two days now

Ariani:
Bini is a mushroom village kingdom that Ika people ransacked at will.
A city that used her people for fetish human sacrifices that sent many of them scampering helter skelter.

There is no single civilization attached to Bini.
They have no Iron ore sites, they didn't evolve written language. They were ruled by a single man. Liased with Portuguese to terrorize fellow Africans just for piece of metals to use for art works.
Very pathetic.

lol you are not just ignorant you're also delusional. Which Ika lol Ikas that were used for sacrifice
Oba of Benin only ruled oredo local government, all other kingdoms had enijies who paid respect to the Oba. You have no idea how foolish and ignorant you sound. It's actually laughable

Ariani:
They were rounded up in a matter of days.
They couldn't even manufacture local guns to withstand the British.
And once the Oba came out from the bush he was hiding and sent to exile, the war was over.
That's how fragile and useless their village Monarchical system of Government is.

It's a very primitive and weak system of Government that makes it easy to conquer a people.
Just strike at the head and everyone else fall in line.

Contrast this with what Happened in Enu-ani where the people fought for decades, because there was no all powerful king dictating for the people.

Or in Arochukwu where they organized and employed local blacksmiths all over Igboland who made guns for them with which they withstood the British in a full blown war for 5 months at a stretch before capitulation to the superiority of Maxim guns.

Some village fettish people think that worshipping one fat not-so-wise man and shouting "Oba gha tokpe" up and down like a people without brains to think for themselves, is what makes a people strong or civilized.

Ndi Mgbu.

lol look at this ignorant delusional IPOB. Benin Kingdom was made up of many quasi-autonomous kingdoms whose head pay traditional respect to the Oba. Uromi was the military head of Benin kingdom. They already had access to Portuguese weapons as far back as during the reign of Ewuare in the 14th century one of the main reasons Ewuare and Ozolua ran circles around all neighbouring cities up to Ghana. There are still ethnic Ẹdos in Ghana today called Ga.
The Benin invasion was done by Africans in the South African protectorate down to the Niger protectorate. The brits remained in their ships. The first time 250 British came they were butchered.
As for human sacrifice there is no tribe in Nigeria that was not involved in human sacrifice. The death of ikemefuna in Achebe's book, was it copied from the practices of the benins?
Britain vs Old Benin one on one Britain would lose 99/100

lol ignorance. The 250 that came at first were butchered in a far away forest
