He's right. They are called Bini (tribe) different from Benin (place)

Do your research... you are obviously not Benin

slawomir:
Damnnn niggar
They didn't storm the church
Wrong and unquantized report

I'm in Benin city anyday anytime twice on Saturday...infact okhoro, upper lawani and eweka in Benin city is where I grew up in my family house

The headlines is misleading

They trailed his car
For your information it might have nothing to do with church things although the man is a pastor
It might be cult related fight because 98 percent of people here in Edo sate are confirmed and rugged including pastors, lecturers, politicians, native doctors and police officers
I sound funny right...but that is the truth

Bro relax..I'm a Bini by tribe. I Stay in Benin city...I know what am talking..every house hold or nuclear family in Benin city got more than six rugged people in it...not to talk of the extended family...even Edo girls love it..during my schooling in university of Benin I know more than ten uniben security personnel that are black axxe...yesterday I went to uselu to drink beer with my friends I was unable to spend more than 2 hours there...

You can't be an authority on Benin affairs if you still say you are Bini instead of Benin.
Also, you can't tar the city with cultism because that's what you do. I grew up in Uselu and I know a lot of guys -including myself- who are not involved in cultism

drlateef:
See wailings all over the place. Tinubu has his picture on graduate list. He was even a graduate assistant teaching his classmates. His senior colleague in same attested to that. Atiku is just wasting all the stolen money he acquired while being vice president. The Americans will swoop on him. He will pay heavy fines for needless lawsuits.

A graduate assistant when he was not a graduate student... You guys just amaze me

I guess you do not know you have to be at least a masters student to be a graduate assistant in the US....smh

Edo - Akure Question
From: DR NOWAMAGBE A OMOIGUI


Segun,

The heritage of Edo-Akures is both military and commercial. Many parts of modern Ondo and Ekiti states were part of the Benin Empire and thus many Edos traded within the territories, often living in "quarters" (like sabongari). Also, victorious soldiers often stayed behind to rule over small dominions, leaving behind descendants born of local yoruba mothers. Those who remarried Edos retained their links. Those who did not, tended to get assimilated into the Yoruba tribe - preferring to benefit from the status of a majority tribe as the influence and power of Benin declined. Prior to recent developments, this interaction resulted in the development of a unique language (a cross between Akure-Yoruba and Bini) which is almost lost.

To appreciate the role of Edo-AKure (or Bini-AKure) one must first understand that there were two main axes of trade within old Benin. One was called "waterside trade" focused along creeks and the Benin River involving Itsekiris (as middle men) and white men. The other was called "upcountry trade" which occured along three axes: (a) Ekiti-Ilorin (b)Ishan (c) Afemai. Each group was organized into trading associations with the Oba as patron. The traders of the forest (called "Ekhen-Egbo" were the group that operated in Ekiti country all the way to Ilorin. Their main bases were at Usen and Akure. Each trading association was highly organized and even had its own Odionwere. Ilorin beads were particularly valuable in exchange for brass carvings, salt, guns, matches, tobacco, necklaces, palm kernels, woven cloth, leather, ivory etc.

In Benin there was also a small group of so called Akure-Bini
chiefs. The role of this community of Bini-AKures has been significant. For example, when Ovonramwen signed the treaty in 1892 with Vice Consul Gallwey, the sole interpreter was a man called Ajayi who spoke 'Akure' dialect of yoruba and translated to Edo.

Before that AKure played an interesting role in providing
one of the first challenges to Ovonranmwen in 1889 when the Deji tried to make ceremonial swords without approval. A warrior was dispatched to settle the issues - which was done. [Oba Adolor earlier intervened in a dispute between Ekitis and Oyos - based on historic alliances between Benin and Ekiti]

The role and regimental seniority of AKure-Bini chiefs came under scrutiny during the trial of Benin chiefs in 1897. One of them called Osague had been identified as the individual through whom Ovonramwen allegedly sent a message to Ologbose and others in Ugbine not to kill Phillips and his party. But in retort another Benin chief claimed that no-one could take orders from an "Akure-Bini" chief. The British rejected the plea.

But more importantly, in April/May 1897, when Ebohon and Ologbose were organizing resistance to the British a large number of Akure refugees enlisted to support Ebohon. In the period after the deportation, the Usen-AKure axis was the focus of intense competition between Lagos traders and Benin based British officers who had long term plans for the development of Rubber plantations.

Later on when the monarchy was restored in 1914 the Benin community in Akure made strenuous efforts to reestablish ties with the Oba. They were stopped by the British. A tribute they had sent to Benin was actually returned!

However, the role of "Akure" in Benin politics was to show itself again and again. In 1918, for example, when Iyase Agho Obaseki had a fall out with Eweka II, it was widely rumored that arrangements had been made to import poison / juju from Akure to eliminate the Oba. Again, in 1937/38 during the serious water-rate crisis in Benin, Chiefs Oshodi and Ezomo were accused of conspiring with one Fagbemi (a native doctor in Idanre, near Akure) to make poison for the purpose of liquidating Akenzua II. As a matter of fact, correspondences were discovered (by telegram) necessitating a full inquiry authorized by Bourdillon. Oba Akenzua ..
initially hired the services of a Yoruba lawyer called
Alakija - before the matter was settled out of court.

One of the most famous Iyases in Benin history was called
Okoro-Otun. His original name was Omokhua. He was born in Benin in
1819 but moved to Ekiti land very early, where he became highly
successful as a trader. He, however, visited Benin in 1904 and
predicted that Aiguobasimwin would some day become Oba. His prophecy
came to pass. During the period before he finally returned to Benin in
1915 as the Esama, he fought in the Ibadan-Oyo conflicts and Ijaye
wars. In 1921 he was appointed district head of Ehor. When Akenzua II
became Oba he made 'Okoro-Otun' Iyase in 1928.
Unfortunately, Okoro-Otun clashed with Akenzua II over a number of issues one of which had to do with wearing beaded head dresses of Yoruba origin. This summary is meant to illustrate how and why
Akure-Binis (with a heritage dating back to the trading association days) were generally successful, politically well connected and wealthy. Many families re-emigrated back to Benin bringing not only their skills and business contacts but also (in some cases) their new religion - Islam, acquired through contacts with Nupe jihadists. This 'community' became known as 'Edo N'akhue' - to connote the link to a great migratory commercial (and diplomatic) heritage.

Hence the names like Yusuf, Bello, Giwa and Dawodu - along with other Yoruba names (and arabic influences from Ilorin). Dawodu, for example, is a corrupted form of Daoud - the Arabic translation of David. Of course it is entirely possible that in old deep Bini (or "acure" dialect) it had an acquired meaning - such as "first son". Note that "pure" Edo names typically begin with the letters A, E, I, O, U. But of course there are many modified Edo names that begin with other alphabets.

Although the description "Edo N'akhue" may be perjorative (when used to describe someone whose behavior is stereotyped as slippery and unreliable), the Edo-Akures are the equivalents in Benin of the descendants of prominent American families, for example, who spent most of their lives abroad as diplomats and multinational businessmen. They are a vital and bonafide part of the complexity that is Benin.


In modern Nigeria, certain administrative delineations reflect these old historical links with the Ondos/Ekitis. The Benin-Owina River Basin Authority, for example, covered old Bendel and old Ondo states. Until it was disbanded, the old 4th Infantry Brigade of the Army was similarly deployed. Most recently, one of the zonal offices of OMPADEC based in Benin-City covers Edo, Delta and Ondo states.

************************************************************

Note the following in the attached write up:

a) Chief Okoro Otun was made the Iyase of Benin by Oba Eweka II after the death of Chief Agho Obaseki who died in the early 20's. He was born at Uvbe village near Abudu. He was one of Oba Eweka's II "foot soldiers " in the struggle for the restoration of the monarchy. He is fondly remembered as OBA MU IYASE KOMI-the Oba has given me the title of the Iyase ( a mixture of Edo-Bini and Akure- Yorubaialects. His house is at Sakponba Road, Benin City, opposite St. Mathew's Cathedral, Benin City. His descendants simply go with the surname IYASE or Iyasere.

b) At the restoration of the monarchy in 1914/15, Oba Eweka II encouraged and lured many of the Edos in Akure and other Yoruba land to return home and help him rebuild the remnants of the ancient Empire. Chief Okoro Otun was one of the "returnees".

C) Oba Akenzua ascended the throne in 1933/4

Wow, please we need you to write more of these

Make Chris no vex us oo... We wey know am for UNIBEN fit open him yansh now. First, in what university was he appointed a professor?

Where did she mention Edo State?
Here are her words:
"All the style I trained them in those days"...
But you deliberately want to hear Edo State

It got to 650, did it then stabilize?

APC's MO:
Create problem, solve problem, get praises for it. Where has BAT been? You expect Peter Obi or the other candidates to mediate on an issue whose details they are not privy to? As what exactly? The government?
Abeg make we talk another thing
#Obi-Datti is the only logical choice

lawrenzooo:

The Alfa was suspended for saying what most people perceive to be the truth. The same cannot be said of Father Mbaka.

Moreover, Mbaka's statement postured the church as a business where favorable prophecies are churned out for the highest bidders. The fact that Obi did not patronize him was the clear reason for the outburst. Nobody closed the ministry when he criticized GEJ because there was no evidence to show if it was tied to money.
I support the diocesan authority in this case. What Mbaka is practising now is political simony and he must be check

The cynicism on this thread is appalling...For once young people from across the nation are trying to get their voice heard on the political process, ensuring the intraparty mechanism reflects the desires of the masses, and people are here saying what will the march achieve.

Peter Obi is the best there is in the field, he represents a departure from politics of the highest bidder, he speaks to the issues and creates hope in the nation's youth, he has a great precedent, and yes he is genuine. People see this, and are coalescing around him to ensure the moment is leveraged to redefine the politics of the nation. Unlike the current government which was highly packaged in 2015 even without precedent to show, Peter Obi's campaign has been captured by three words: GO AND VERIFY.

It's time we all do what is right. This is not the time to follow our primordial ethnic biases. Peter Obi, is not even marketing himself as an Igbo candidate he is marketing himself as passionate Nigerian who has done it before, and will do it again.
Let's not miss this opportunity please.

Kenneth4u205:
Suleman is just a reaction pastor.he react emotionally to any trending news on social media without seeking God's opinion.

Very true

Exactly my thinking on this issue. Domestic abuse is wrong and should be condemned by all. However, dragging in the clergyman on this issue betrays some ulterior, malicious motives against him and the institution he represents - The Church..
Yes, there is much to be desired on the current state of the Nigerian church but there is no evidence that the Church, or the Pastor here is culpable on this issue. We must not give a dog a bad name just to hang it.

Luke.11
[1] And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
[2] And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
[3] Give us day by day our daily bread.

��

Can we just stick to the topic... Great job Bishopkingsley.
In addition to the scriptures you quoted, Matthew 24 is very clear that immediately after the tribulation of those times will the son of man return to take his people

rainluv:


Where did John the Baptist born again?
Moses?
Prophet Elijah?

The fact that you will even mention old testament figures shows that you don't understand the Bible or what "born again means"...
I'm sorry, these are foundation/new convert class stuff

milann:
he was born again from birth and spent 15 months in his mother's womb. Who are we to judge

There is nothing like being born again from the mothers womb... it is not biblical
This statement equates him with the Lord Jesus Christ who is the only one born of a woman without sin....it is outright blasphemy brother, and I say this with so much love

So you have to twist their arms to embrace someone they know nothing of his spiritual roots? Someone whose born-again experience is in doubt? A refurbished syncretist, false prophet who only became popular because of so called philantropy..
I don't blame OP, you don't read your Bible or you don't know his beginnings... I also blame the mainstream men of God for not living up to their name.
Imagine blackmailing Peter and Phillip to recognize Simon the sorcerer

kelvinrhs:
He died last week Friday


A very calm guy who does not speak much


He was a lecturer in my department; the man was in our class last week Tuesday �

I don't know why he was killed but...

May his soul continue to rest in peace and may his assassinators never know rest

I would think so too. I knew him from a distance too, looked like a really gentle guy. So sad for his family

Elon Musk with PayPal
Steve Jobs with Apple...
Yes these owners were sacked by their BODs

Wow... used that textbook for CSC211 in UNIBEN back in 2005

PlayMaker14:
2Chronicles Chapter 14 vs 45-46;


"45. Show no mercy to thy political enemies, for if he has a chance, he will slit your throat and condemn you outrightly.

46. Destroy your political enemies completely so you can enjoy peace which I have given you...."

Try again. Neither 1st nor 2nd Chronicles have a chapter 14 with 45 verses

Pelagia2:
Please can someone help me with link to study with scholarship in the USA.

What did you study?
Some schools can give you an assistantship if you have a high GRE score and a good CGPA.

Incrizz:


There is no where I wrote that anyone will receive the mark by mistake.

It will be a conscious decision.

But kindly be aware, you cannot buy or sell without the mark.

It is not going to be forced on anyone but it will be enforced in the society.
If you must be a part of the society, then you must take the mark.

So, many people will decide that they cannot suffer, they will want access to food, travelling, marriage, and will go ahead to take the mark.

But GOD has been training HIS children.
We are used to the sufferings of CHRIST and HIS death in our bodies.


Bill Gates himself has said the vaccine, nano bots, and the ID2020 will be one and the same thing. Same injection.
Do you have any idea what nanobots are capable of?

Did you see the word, "bot" there?
That's short for "robot", in other words, zombie.

I see your point sister. No I did not say you said so, but my point is that anyone who receives the mark will know they are making a conscious decision to worship the antichrist.
So those being vaccinated will know that they are receiving the mark.
I agree with you on the not being able to buy or sell. In other words, the beast will be saying see you better worship me and receive the mark or vaccine OR you will not be able to buy or sell.. that's my point sister.
Yes, this vaccine might be a first step towards testing the resilience of people.

Incrizz:

Thanks Willzkid.
'Just curious: how often do you listen to Bill Gates himself?

Not so much. As I mentioned earlier, these may be preparations for what the great tribulation will be BUT it's hard to show Biblically that anyone will receive the mark by mistake. The mark has to be accomplished by a voluntary worship of the beast

I agree with you sis incrizz on the sequence of events but not on the vaccine being the mark of the beast. It might be a test run as to how the antichrist will control people globally but it is not the mark. The truth is all technology will be deployed by the antichrist to have this global dominance including the internet which we now use.
Here are some reasons for my assertion:
1. The mark of the beast is not going to be received by mistake. People who receive it will be making a conscious decision.
2. The proof for (1) is in Rev 13:15 as well as Rev 20:4 which suggests that the mark of the beast comes with voluntary worship of the beast... People who receive the mark are also people who voluntarily worship the beast, so you cannot receive the mark without first pledging alliance to the beast. This is not what happens with the vaccine
