FROM THE UROMI VOICE ADMIN DESK
ON THE PURPORTED SUSPENSION OF OUR REVERED KING
==================================================
We received with horror the abominable news that our exalted Onojie, HRM Anslem Eidenojie II the Ojuromi of Uromi was purported to have been suspended by the Executive Committee of the Edo State Government led by Comrade Adam Oshiomhole, the outgoing Governor of Edo State. Oshiomhole was said to have invoked Section 28(1) of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law (1979) and all other Laws to order the suspension of Zaki from office as the Onojie of Uromi for a period of seven (7) days from the 26th of October 2016 to the 1st of November, 2016.

It is the greatest faux pas ever committed by anyone who calls himself the governor of Edo state. As an Edo man, he should have known that an Onojie is born and never made.

It is true that the Nigerian Constitution incorporated this power inSection 28(1) of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Law (1979) from the British Colonialists into our legal system. It is also true that the British introduced into our legal system the ability of the State or Federal Government, by whatever name called, to suspend or depose a monarch in order to make inferior or subservient the natural leadership of the people of the various kingdoms or Ethnic groups that constitute Nigeria and to legitimise their empire. It worked well with the Yoruba (because of their method of succession), the Hausa (the Fulani were basically usurpers and thus could be removed and replaced), the Ibo, Idoma, Tiv, Berom etc (their traditional rulers were created by the British) but never worked with the Benin or the Esan. It is not about to work now.

In fact, and indeed, the British, as a result of the resistance of the Oba Ovonramwen and Okolo nojie and later, his successor Ogbidi nojie, to the incursion of the imperialists into their domains, decided to do away with the monarchy as it was practised in Benin and Uromi. They tried to create a new dynasty different from the bloodlines of Obas of Benin, and the Onojies of Uromi. They failed spectacularly.

In Benin, an attempt was made to make Chief Agho Obaseki the putative head of the Kingdom, which was rejected by the Chiefs and the People with the explanation to the British that an Oba is never made but born. Not done, they moved to crown Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen (who later became Oba Eweka II) the Oba while his father was still alive. He refused. History has it that he preferred to die than to take the throne of his father while he was still alive.

In Uromi, while Ogbidi Nojie was shipped to exile first in Calabar and later Ibadan, several attempts were made to replace him, and it didn’t succeed for the same reason. For an Onojie is never made but born. As a corollary, an Edaiken can never succeed his father while he is yet alive.

The British left this odious law in our books. The first time it was used in the immediate aftermath of our independence was when the Northern Regional Government of Sir Ahmadu Bello used it to depose Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi, late Emir of Kano, the Grandfather of the present Emir. Since then, other governments whether in the North East, North West, North Central, South East, South West, and South-South have invoked this law to either suspend or remove a monarch but the Governments of first, the Western Region of Nigerian, Second, the Midwestern Region, third, Bendel State and Fourth, Edo state knew well enough not to mess with the traditional institutions of Edo or to make any tokenistic and largely ineffectual claim of attempting to depose an Oba or an Onojie of Uromi such as Oshiomhole has done. This is because it knows the validity of these God made Kings does not rise up from the formalistic instruments of state but rather from the people themselves. It knew very well that the people will never agree to pay obeisance to anyone but to the one who they regard as the father of all.

Oshiomhole, without any introspection or a sense of self, decided to cite this law to bring the entirety of the Uromi people into ridicule. Unfortunately, that law is not even worth the paper it is written on as far as the Kingship of Uromi is concerned. It can't be used to bring the father of Uromi, the King from God, our Zaki, into ridicule. It would do nothing but bring Oshiomhole into ridicule himself. For we the people of Uromi has seen this movie played out before from a force more powerful than Oshiomhole, it failed.

Oshiomhole is doomed to failure in this course he has taken. The Onojie does not need the Edo State Government to survive or for the reverence with which the people of Uromi holds him.

We, therefore, demand Oshiomhole retract this abominable letter and offer an unreserved apology to our father. He must take his filthy hands off our Kingship.

hmm...

The days are already counting. The 7th day is almost here and we shall see. That it has never been done before doesn't mean it can never been done. There is always a first time. So figure crossed waiting to see what happens

Even a woman supporting beating another woman up by a man....your husband must have turned you to a punching bag

Deji of Akure can be sacked , after-all there is no difference between a yoruba Oba and a motor park chairman,

we Edos, hold our tradition, culture and customs to high esteem.

as for oshiomole, his days is already numbered, so the palace should ignore him.

limeta:

oshiomole does not sound yoruba and it is not a yoruba name. oshiomole can be broken into 'oshio' and 'mole'. 'oshio' is a popular prefix in Etsako names. It is like how the igbos prefix 'chukwu' or the yorubas prefix 'oluwa' to their names. oshiomole means 'it is God that owns today'.

Please I need to ask, who cursed oshiomole?

Seems you aren't aware that Aslem Aidenojie, the Ojuromi of Uromi isn't only a woman beater but also a sponsorer whose job is to dress young girls as his wives and ship them abroad for prostitution, or you wanna tell me you aren't aware of this? And you can't say you love Aslem more than oshiomole do because his cousin, Joe Okojie is a commissioner under this same oshiomole.

And before you start trying to spill trash at me, kindly read my signature, I am more Esan and Uromi than you, I sleep, wake, eat, dream and bleed Esan and Uromi.

Does Esan land look like Yoruba land where their obas are ready to give up their thrones for a bowl of Amala?

This' what most of them don't know. Because I said the Deji of Akure was once dethroned from his seat, they claimed Yoruba monarchs ain't different from motor park touts, thinking I'm Yoruba. I'm a full born Edo indigene!

limeta:

I know what you're made of now. So dumb! Trynna politicize this thread as usual.

Oshiomole is taking his political clout tooo far.

Him that the gods want to punish, they must first make mad.

Sharraaaap there. If your 3rd class chief does not behave, he will be picked up and another person will take the throne. Nothing will happen.
