Oga they have about three kids already

Was thinking it should be Oni of ife.. not Oba of Benin

Wetin I know...

But Yoruba do claim ishekiri as kin.. Na wao.

Ehn the traditional families of the Itsekiris are originally from Benin

DashingRush:

U.S made a deal with Taliban and we don't know all the details. The way U.S withdrew from the Bagram Air Base leave nothing tp be admired. They left at night without prepping the Afghan forces.

Iran is Taliban biggest enemy and U.S surely activated for the purpose. Only time will tell

Yes that could be part.
Because the Iranians have closed their diplomatic houses in Kandahar and other cities there and have reduced their staffs in Kabul. The Turks are still in Afghanistan and are not running away. I think its a war of the Sunnis and Shiite.

Supan:


You are an expert analyst. 100% correct

Only kids will believe that US with all their might, lost the war in Afghanistan without winning elsewhere. The US media is doing a good job playing the minds of pple.

China and it's interest is about to start taking hits from all Arab jihad moquades now.

Yes ooo. I think this is a tactical move by the US to contain china. By the time the Taliban infiltrate the Uighur region, china will be drawn into a conflict in its own house

Throwback:


I know it was named after the Bight, which itself was named after the kingdom that once thrived and traded along that coast.

Conclusion is that the name Benin Republic owes its name to the Benin Kingdom.

I swear, he's just doing over sabi.
There is a case of Greece vs Macedonia. Greece told the former Yugoslavia country that she has no right to use the name Macedonia. The issue was in the European Court and Macedonia had to change her name recently to North Macedonia or something else can't remember.

Newton85:
It was named because it's located on the so-called "Bight of Benin". It wasn't named after the Benin empire, end of. But then, this is social media where people hold on tenaciously to the erroneous information they disseminate.

You're just forming over sabi that's your problem. The name Benin belongs to the defunct Kingdom of Benin in present day Nigeria. There was a case of Greece Vs Macedonia. Go and read about it and stop displaying oversabi here.

Dahomey changed their country name to Benin after the bight of Benin. The Bight of Benin in the Gulf of Guniea was named after the Kingdom of Benin.

For your information, Dahomey sent diplomatic envoys to the Oba of Benin when she wanted to formally change her country's name.

DoggoneDogg:


Hmmm
Wasn't aware of that last part but it is dangerous.

Though knowing Germans, I doubt if anyone can keep them down for long. Just like Russians, they are naturally tough & can't be underestimated.
Remember this same thing happened to them after WWI when France and Britain turned them to simps and annexed their industrial regions.

Hitler reversed all that and turned them into Europe's finest army in less than 7 years.

That's why I am happy Angela Merkel is leaving soon. She has been a fine leader in terms of economic development, but she's not like old crazy thatcher. The peeps I would like see rearm is the Japanese.... Those guys are crazy ass fighters. They fight for fun. If they rearm, they will be the greatest threat to China because they have so many scores to settle

DoggoneDogg:


Of course, the Germans were an effective fighting machine and they shocked everyone. The only thing that destroyed them was Hitler's ego & micromanagement.

Lol @ France
Those ones are cowards na. Na only woman & wine dem sabi. Noisemakers.
Na just 2 weeks the entire France fall yakata & Japan carved up their Asian interests in months. Jokers

Their veto power is actually the way the West hopes to keep Russia at bay - by filling it up with their puppets. Veto powers should be just Russia & US cuz even Britain was exposed as a paper tiger by Hitler.

Yes na
When I read about how the defunct German state of Prussia was fighting with the Russian Empire. I came to know the Germans are a machine. They fought two world wars in less than 30 years. They fought the second war brutally. Hitler was his doom.


Today's Germany is a far cry.
Do you know in the German army today a soldier can disobey the command of his superior if he feels the task is against certain beliefs. They are now like the french

DoggoneDogg:



Yeah.
Weather bombed Hitler's Wehrmacht. Weather countered them at Stalingrad, held them off at Leningrad and dealt them a decisive blow at Kursk.

Weather was also responsible for Operation Bagration and weather dismantled all of the Wehrmacht's defenses and drove them all the way to Hitler's bunker in Berlin.

Weather.



Be like Nigeria go need weather against Boko Haram oo.

The Germans were fighting on multiple fronts. Never forget that. Give it to the Germans, it's not easy to do so. Also, you know supply and logistics is a very important factor here. The Russians were home, it's difficult to beat you in your home. That's why I hate the French. Lazy ass people who couldn't even retake their homeland without foreign help. Very stupid people, they should collect that their Veto power from them. They don't have the right to seat on that table

Hangmnk:
in the name of Almighty Allah, I cursed you forever. May his full wrath fall upon you. Ameen.

You never curse Boko Haram or Bandits oooo. Human beings

The Benin did not really venture across the Niger River. But anything at the western side of the river came under it's influence. You don't need to conquer the world for her to be under your influence.

Today much of the world is under American influence, yet America has never conquered Nigeria in a war. But to a large extent we are under her influence. That is what greatness means. Back then, it was great Benin for most southern entities

Kondomatic:
There's a place like this in Lokoja - Abuja Road.

Yes my guy... Just before Abuja...
You go day fear for ur life

after4:
What made you think Japan is too weak for China? Remember that they had occupied china before, though that might not be a serious factor but when it comes to technology and military might, you can't ignore Japan. Though Japan lowered it's military strength, it has ramped it up again, as it purchased the f-35 jet fighters from the US. That jet alone is a comparative advantage to any army. Don't forget their naval prowess and one last thing, there is this thing about a proud man that makes them dogged, and that is a Japanese for you. Do you know that even after the second bomb, the Japanese soldiers still want to fight, it was the emperor that insisted on surrender that some of the commanders had to commit suicide

They call it the Bushido. It's a war code. If the Japanese throw away their pacifist constitution and pick up arms. China won't like it. Japan is a military country. A country that's has been fighting for a long time.

Fraud no good but right now people are living on survival of the fittest. Parents are no longer complaining because imagine after sending your son to school for four years. He graduates and spends six years he can't even boast of a rented apartment of his own. He can't get married because he has no good income to even take care of himself not to talk of adding someone. This country is hard. Really really hard and people are just doing anything to get by.

Yahoo Boys are the lesser devils we have in the society. They are better than fulani Herdsmen, kidnappers and bandits.

Omoh
Dem won use oil rice finish the guy. The oil rice sef na only crayfish dem day put inside. Small crayfish. Chairman no go let you sleep. You go wash chairman clothes. You dare not Facebook, abi ogun day kill ur mama. Na ur mama give chairman money take buy data.

After the plenty sleepless night, you come manage pick money. Chairman go come run you 70-30%. If the chairman pity you 65%. This one na aside exchange rate ooo. In fact ehn, you see those HK for Ghana and Senegal and Benin. If dem flog you better flog....omoh u go run with ur leg pass seme border.

The street no be for everybody. At least baba fit use he laptop start dj work or go clean and legit.

Say no to fraud

If you can

If you can't

Don't get caught

But Get sense

justnairaland2:

The previous Oba was his father, the one before that what his grand father, the one before his great grand father... You know nothing about Benin culture or Benin or even history.


For your info the Oba of Benin doesn't go to frivolous escapades, this is a party he organised for children in his palace. Jeez !

Also, for your info Benin Kingdom predates Nigeria, it is not like your fake Nigerian Kingdoms, it was an actual multiethnic country with its leader the Oba and its army.

Let me guess, you are one of those lost yoruba who believe they know us too much while they know nothing about us.

UGBE634:
itsekiri wey dae Ologbo ozour, the Edo natives in Ologbo are also from ijebu? it is just like saying warri came from ijebu when there are Edo natives there. They came from wherever they came from and they met Edo natives on ground, the town is traditionally an Edo town and nothing is changing that.

The guy matter tire me I swear.
Ologbo when my in law come from. He say ologbo na ijebu get am. Hospitality no be wetin dem take day play oooo

Simbrixton:
even ologbo for edo are from ijebu

U dey mind d iraja for nairaland

Haba
Ologbo land for ijebu. What's your problem na. It's like saying Epe is for Nupe people.
If I may ask you how is Ologbo Ijebu land. By conquest or what?

omonnakoda:
The whole of Lagos is not the City

There is a city called Lagos that is PART of Lagos state just like Enugu, Oyo, Ondo, Kano Sokoto ,Bauch, etc
This was the former FCT


The whole of Lagos state was never the capital of Nigeria just a tiny part of it

Lagos City existed as FCT before Lagos State was Created and had a Minister one of whom was Yar'adua's father

Lagos State essentially has 5 divisions "DIVISION" is a former official term

Lagos
Ikeja
Badagry
Ikorodu
Epe

Of those 5 divisions

ONE Lagos was the FCT until 1967 when Lagos State was created

The other 4 were Part of the Western Region

Thanks for clearance.
If someone who lives in Epe is asked where he lives, they say Lagos and what comes to mind is the mainland itself

Grgton:
Benin City has sprawled to the famous benin bypass !! I really got surprised the last time I traveled passed that area... .. Benin City is big .. but not densily built/ populated like we have in Lagos or onitsha..

Yes
Onitsha is too small for the population. That's why I said if Onitsha had the size of Benin, it would have helped in decongesting it.

Lagos is more of a Mega city. The whole of Lagos which is about 3500sqkm is now the city and not Ikeja only

Asgard73:


How can ilorin be more populated than Aba..

Na who never reach there... have you seen a traffic hold up in ilorin or even kwara state as a whole?

As for Benin being populated than port Harcourt
Na normal Edo man hype.

How did Edo people hype their self into that list. You clearly don't know that Benin has that population because the population is evenly distributed. There's enough land in Benin city to accommodate everyone in Onitsha if Benin starts building high rise building like the ones in Onitsha. Benin City has expanded into 5 local government in Edo south. The only Benin has not entered if I am not wrong is Orhiomwon. So don't say what you don't know.

The population in Benin is very very cosmopolitan. You have urhobos here in large numbers, igbos, Yoruba, Hausas. They're so many here.

Self defense
I can't let fulani take over my village. God forbid

Ooni is not like one ọba for South South wey dey claim boss for him town... Him influence no even reach Edo.... Him just Siddown for palace like sumone dt is bedridden....

Okay. We don hear you. Funny enough wetin bring Edo come this matter na if no be wahala you day find

Mangekyo:
The same Benin ppl that shouted Sai baba in 2015 now want him out?

APC has never won Edo in presidential elections

Asaba will soon take over bet me. The industry is booming in Asaba and according to studies, it's going to overtake Abuja in the next five years thanks to its proximity to Onitsha.

seanwilliam:
Some people are just so uninformed..


America military budget is more than Russia , China , Indian , uk, Germany combined.


This is just simple analysis

USA spends over 600b$ which is more than naija economy on military alone , yet some Are still saying Russia can match usa .. una funny ..

Don't mind them. They think war is video games. They don't know war is money.

Do you guys think it's easy to attack another country that you have no borders with. A country where the only way there is by air and sea. Do you know the immense resources in shipping men, and machines to fight war in another continent.

America has been in the business of fighting wars in other continents. You people don't know the logistics involved. Sustaining a military campaign in a foreign land is very difficult and expensive.

America has presence globally.
Nukes aside.... No allies also
If Russia attacks the USA, that will be her end. Infact, don't borther attacking America. The German attack of American ships in WWII brought her into the conflict.

When Japan attacked pearl Harbor, that was the end of Japanese empire.
Even China is grateful that America helped them fight off the Japanese.

The Japanese are some of the most stubborn and ruthless fighters. Go and read about their Bushido code. They started what you call suicide bombing in large scales. They call it kamikaze. The Japanese beat the Russians like pulp. Collected part of China. Korea was a factory for collecting girls to satisfy their imperial army. The US fought the Japanese to their island.

While the war in Europe ended in 1945...it ended in Japan 1947 with the drop of the nuclear bomb. If not for that bomb, the Japanese would have fought till the end.

The US has the money to wage war.
War is expensive.

Lol. U dey talk paperweight countries weh dey Nato. Only iran go wipe out like 15 countries in Nato. Na country like poland u go call now. Well, no war is coming, atleast not in a Decade.
