.....you honestly believe they gonna stay on the topic?! LOL!

izzou:


What are you saying, sir?

I agree that there are many languages in a state, but how can you not be able to speak your own?

And who made the defacto language anywhere to be pidgin? Na Youths dey do that one.

It became a big deal of Esan people when Ighodalo cannot speak Esan. Maybe e no sabi the pidgin sef

BlueRayDick:


The thing no make sense one bit

Lmao.. Izzou have you ever heard of an issue like this before in Edo State politics?

That a candidate cannot speak his own language in a state that has multiple major languages.
Have you?

iamoyindamola:

Is there any major difference between bashorun and balogun

izzou:


Akpata get upper hand like this oh.

Why people come dey shout PDP?

OasisX:

izzou:


For state of the nation, The LP guy go drag both of them

For state and local governance, all of them go align

izzou:


Nobody is asking him to learn Bini Esan, etc...

The one wey you come from, speak that one fess

izzou:


Have you ever heard of a candidate that cannot speak his own language in the history of Edo politics?

The problem is that it is his fellow Esan that are embittered.

His own people are pissed he cannot speak.

A001:

Yes, though they're both war chiefs. But balogun is a war chief of a town, while bashorun is the war chief of a kingdom comprising many such towns with different baloguns.

Bashorun is the head of the baloguns whose towns fall under a kingdom.

"You want to govern people you don't understand their language."

Indeed Edo no be Lagos. LOL!

Where his own people take dey embittered na?
I just called my Mother In law. An Esan woman who lives in Edo State.

Me: mama dem say this PDP candidate na Esan man and e nor sabi speak Esan. Na true?

MIL: ehn yes na true say e nor sabi speak Esan.

Me: mama na issue as e nor sabi speak Esan? Esan people dey vex for am?

MIL: nor be issue say e nor sabi speak Esan. Obaseki wey come from bini sabi speak bini??

Me: thank you ma.
*cuts call*

Again the state is not built like that.

BlueRayDick:


This one u are saying I don't understand . I've seen tiktok videos of Edo state indigenes complaining that how can Asue not speak his native language and wants to govern them?

Are u saying all those people are stupid ?

Theflint1:
APC wan carry their mummy tribalism politics enter Benin... Nothing concern us concern who no Sabi speak Esan, we have three major tribes in the state, and we coalesce around pidgin.

izzou:


So you use your mum to conclude for the whole Esan and assume what the state is built like

But other people's videos and tweets is not enough to assume the same.

Well, my own na to enjoy the ride! May the best and honourable thief win

livelongprospa:


Sigh.
You know what, elections will be here soon.
We go see if na major issue or not

iamoyindamola:

Mehn kunle afolayan made bashorun look so ordinary in Anikulapo they even slaughtered him like a goat for market square
Even balogun can't be portrayed as such

Normally bashorun shouldn't be leading war he should be like a colonel

OasisX:




.....swerve oga. Everything na APC to you. Poster is an Obidient, tagged his co-obidients, so how APC take enter?!

Theflint1:
Trust me, he's an APC bandit, the only grassroot Edo person in the sense of being able to speak the language and has had boots on ground since forever is the APC guy, but he's the most underwhelming of the three... I doubt if Akpata can speak Bini even, so I'm not sure what this "Obidient" is on about.

BlueRayDick:


As much as I enjoyed every bit of the story ; I would've wished some of our veteran Yoruba journalists had taken it upon themselves to interview the Late Alaafin about this incident .

One would've learnt what happened to the relationship between Alaafin and Ashipa after this incident. U know Yoruba's would say " a kin to kootu de wa shore " i.e u don't comeback to be friends with someone who sued u to court . Like Ashipa is a chief in Oyo kingdom and somehow he instituted a legal action against the Alaafin and MKO who was going to be bestowed with a chief famcy title .

That said ; I think the story also confirms how big Afe Babalola really was. One senior lawyer once described the same scenario of how Afe Babalola would appear in court with so many junior lawyers pushing trolley of legal books behind him and when court session starts he will start quoting legal sources that even the judge has never heard of before . . He said some judges will borrow some of those books from Afe Babalola sef .

livelongprospa:


But it's never been an issue in Edo State if someone can speak their language or not because more than 2 languages are spoken very well in Edo State.

It's like a delta state politician not being able to speak urhobo because he is from urhobo. Nobody send because you get ijaw, itsekiri, kwale, isoko wey nor send.
Infact the defacto language is pidgin English and I'm guessing that extends to Edo State too.

Thankfully the idiot that tweeted that is being told its stupid.

Now if we talking just generally, I would agree it is abit sad not knowing how to speak your language. And na parents fault majority of the time.

izzou:

I just love as there are different Obidients in different "departments" being politically active driving consciousness in their own way.


This one now, the element of irony is his own method, and I love eet so much 😂😂😂.

OasisX:




......Ooin! Indeed. LOL!

Theflint1:
APC bandits are in the habit of building accounts claiming Obidients, means nothing
