After d bad thing shiek gumi said about him?this man PO has a large heart,he is d most serious of all candidates.May Allah see him to victory!

Which large heart? You'd better learn to admit your error whenever there's need for such rather than always trying to dish out falsehood and rationalise insincerity.

Eriokanmi:
I agree with you but a trip of a thousand miles starts with a step. Obi will fare better. Please what does the MDM in your moniker mean ?

How do you rescue someone that's battling with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and praying to God for healing but yet is never ready to abstain from sexual excapades? No prophet is needed to foretell that a country that's structured and configured like yours currently is headed nowhere.

FreeStuffsNG:

Kwara and Kogi is over 3m while SW is 18.3m . That is roughly almost 22m. If mobilization is huge along with the positive sentiment, Asiwaju can achieve approx 20m or within 10-14m votes.

And you think everyone in SW will vote for just a candidate as if being on auto pilot?

VEHINTOLAR:
Obidence will be shown the way to alaigbo,e remain small ! Only a bastard Yoruba will vote for nyanmiri !

You mean including those Yoruba Christians who, according to your professor MURIC, are giving you headache? Do you want the votes of those giving you headache? Hehehehe... Lol

You want them to vote for you so that you can implement your sharia and continue with your hijab invasion? Deborah Samuel's case is a pointer for those who can read the handwritings on the walls.

Eriokanmi:
God forbid that am ibo and if you still carry this mentally in your head...that only those supporting Obi is ibo, you're making a great mistake guy. No iboman ever denies his identity know this fact today. My moniker says it all. It means my conscience in yoruba

Lagos election results in 2023 would prove you guys wrong. Enough said.

Neither Obi, Atiku, Tinubu nor Kwankwaso can perform any wonder with the situation and constitution on ground. I can bet it that Obi, peradventure he wins, will support neither the return to true federalism nor restructuring. Everyone is fighting for their pocket and region, you don't mind the packaging. That's the fact.

VULCAN:
If The Yoruba in the SW fall for this then let the suffering continue.

Marwa governed Lagos exceptionally well.

Is he Yoruba?

So if the so called educated Yoruba put their well being BELOW their tribal sentiments them they are no better than the uneducated almajiri.

Attending school but thinking like a stark illiterate is a choice that they will live with

I'll take your comments as meaningful when you agree with me that no-man's-land does not exist.

jimyjames:



Awolowo didn't (help) us stay in Nigeria no one was kicking us out of Nigeria, yes we blame awolowo for carrying out a genocide on our people.

Soldiers do not fear death yet they usually surrender in battle , not fearing death doesn't mean lack of wisdom,. (Not been afraid of pains doesn't mean you can't feel pains ) get the point, a genocidal war was brought upon us and we did well by defending our selves for 3 yrs and our enemies failed to wipe us all out



You are slow to learn , listen, the world is a free world you can do whatever you like as long as you are smart enough and strong enough to get away with it, yes awolowo was smart enough to do what he did and get away with it , there is no doubt about that he killed millions without touching a gun he was a smart man he got away with it , though he didn't achieve all his plans but yes indeed he was smart, almost all Yoruba's possese that witty smartness of betrayer , backstabbing, they protrast before you to greet you and when you turn your back they plot your downfall

Yes Nigeria is ziks lagecy whether good or bad zik made you and i a Nigerian , even if we don't like it, he did it and there is nothing you can do about it
The rest about properties you are talking about sounds more like wailing , we own properties in your lands we are landlords just like you the oners of the land , living forever is not my problem, I don't even want to live to be 90 yrs old cause at that age there is nothing to enjoy in this world


My friend , how do you know that there is God? Even the bible you are quoting was written by humans,humans that are smart enough to mentally enslave gullible men , ok ask your God to tell you the exact time he formed you, you should be able to meet him and speak with him ,prove he exist

Who wants to be the friend of a FOOL? Did you declare Biafra Republic and go to war to defend it or not? Was Biafra conquered or not? I've got nothing to learn from a DULLARD. What you cherish MOST is the LEAST of my goals. You have nothing meaningful to argue about as you keep sounding like a broken reed, beating about the bush. I've heard a lot about Tiv people from their Idoma neighbours but I never knew someone who claimed to be half-Tiv could be this dull.

Who is wailing about properties if not you? Who has been shouting "We own properties in your land" if not you? Again, owing a property in YORUBA land is a big accomplishment to you but NOTHING to me. Yoruba land is my home, Yooba is my first language, it's a place my ancestors had lived for many centuries. The governors of the states, the states house of Assembly members, the legally recognized traditional rulers, the chairmen of local governments, the councilors of various wards and the dominant language spoken in the land are all YOOBA. So, spare me all that useless story.

If you don't believe the Bible, then drop that name "James" that you bear and choose one of the animals' names. Majority of your fellows who attend the Catholic church should also stop attending. A fearless man that surrendered at the battle front is nothing but a COWARD. You ought to fight till the last person is killed, not captured. If you don't fear pain but pain visits you in your body, you ought to allow that pain to stay there in your body without you doing anything about it. That's how to show bravery. But if you fight it back and it eventually kills you, then you are the one who loses the battle, not the pain.

Yes, the herdsmen who have been attacking your people in Benue, taking over their land and sending them to IDP camps should be commended for being smart enough to outsmart you. Of course, I'm a Nigerian from YORUBA land and can never be a Biafran and you're a Biafran from IBO-TIV land, any big deal in that? A scottish man telling you he's from UK, what's the big deal? I believe in God and prayers and I'm praying for you that the legacy you will leave behind for your children and unborn generations will be like the current Nigeria that you are proud of.

We need more people to invest in Yoruba land, bring more money to develop our land. You dare not build a house in YORUBA land without BUYING the land and if you are unlucky to have a CofO, another man can outsmart you and pull that structure down. We have functional sea and air ports, rail system, the best universities in the country, good deposits of solid minerals, arable lands for agriculture but we still need more industries and investors. Bring all those your monies here, we need them while your homeland continues to be DESERTED.

You're just a mere WONDERER who spends all his life running without any purpose in life but chasing shadows. And since you don't fear God or man or death, why do you want to live up to 90 years? Since it's only in this world you have hope, of all men you are the most MISRABLE. You should eat and drink today for tomorrow you may die.

jimyjames:


How a child forms in the womb is simple scientific knowledge do your research , and why should I live forever?

I don't fear God and I don't fear death , but that shouldn't mean I will forgive or forget when someone kills my people , let me tell you what I learned about this world, the world is a free world you can do whatever you like and live how ever you want as long as you are smart enough and strong enough to get away with it , so if someone outsmart you or beat you cause he or she is smarter and stronger , you don't just forget about it you work on yourself and find a way to revenge


My friend I love money I love properties , wealth is power , go to anywhere on earth the rich possese power


I repeat Nigeria is ziks lagecy , declaring Biafra or not doesn't change that fact , awolowo didn't help us to stay in Nigeria he wanted to wipe us all out which he failed , here we are all over Nigeria doing business across the country buying properties making money


Yoruba land equally owned buy none Yoruba's ,we are landlords in Yoruba land collecting rent etc it will be like that forever

You are a CONFUSED fellow! If Awolowo didn't help you to stay in Nigeria, why do you blame him for losing the Biafra war? If you don't fear death, God and man, why did you surrender and not allow yourselves to be WIPED OFF by Nigerian soldiers, since according to you that's what Awolowo wanted to achieve? As fearless as you claim to be, you surrendered before a superior power. That's a big shame. No, I'm not sorry for you! The power of your riches should have saved you, TIV-Ibo man. If the world is a place where you can do whatever you like, then why should you bother that someone killed your people? Your reasoning is shallow.

So, Awolowo, a civilian without a gun, could kill 3 million of people who fear neither God nor man. Waoh! That Awolowo must be an extraordinary and SMART person. Using your own language, Awolowo outsmarted you and gave you a huge blow for which you are still crying till date. If Nigeria is a good legacy of Zik, why did you want to leave Nigeria by declaring the Biafra Republic? Why would you like to abandon a good legacy? Yoruba and Hausa have been ruling Nigeria, according to you, but guess what? They will continue to rule you. Don't worry, we will soon get State police after we've gotten Amotekun. If you try any funny thing like Evan the kidnapper, you are gone.

Being a landlord in YORUBA LAND is a big accomplishment to you but NOTHING to me because this is where my ANCESTORS had lived for centuries. Yoruba land is my HOME. How many Americans, Britons or Germans have you seen wondering about the streets of Nigeria? How many Yorubas have you seen rushing to those your remote villages? Who does not like a good thing?

Build your properties here and help us solve the housing issues more in our land but remember your properties are built on a leased space of land in YORUBA Land, not IBO LAND or TIV LAND. A good region will always attract investors. We also have Indians, Lebanese, Chinese, and so many investors coming all over the world to invest in YORUBA Land. Why are they forsaking your land for UGM?

Like I said before, shouting about having properties in YORUBA LAND only shows your poverty mentality background. If you think having a property in Yoruba land makes you smart, then you must have lived your life in one of the most remote parts of the country.

And why can't you live forever with all the properties you have? You should keep enjoying life with all the monies from your fake-products and druggie businesses now. With all your properties, you are NOTHING but dust and ashes if you can't live for ever!

Again, can you tell the exact time you were formed in your mother's womb? Nobody asks you about the scientific process of conception. Rather, the question is: can you YOURSELF tell us the EXACT time you were formed in your mother's womb? If not, a FOOL has only said in his heart that there's no God.

jimyjames:


You are a Nigerian that's ziks lagecy to you and all Nigerians it will be that way forever ,

my friend your prayers are meaningless to me I don't believe in prayers

My friend whether governed by hausa or Fulani or Yoruba , the great zik of Africa made Nigeria and so it is , you can't take that from him


I have never heard any person wether Igbo or none Igbo deny that Igbos never ruled Nigeria , even little children who know history knows zik was the first president of Nigeria,

Yes we are the biggest beneficiaries of one Nigeria,but does that change the fact that Yoruba's and northerners ruled this country all this yrs and made it what it is today? No


Yes shagari and Alex ekweme defeated awolowo after all the evil he committed during the civil war to gain popularity from the north , that doesn't mean Igbos ruled Nigeria after the civil war ,. Osinbanjo is the VP to buhari today that doesn't mean he is ruling Nigeria but buhari ,. Obasanjo was the one who ruled Nigeria for 8 yrs , we all know he stole 16 billion dollars , money he claimed he used for electrical power generation in Nigeria , Nigeria doesn't have 24/7 electricity


Like I said , 99yrs is a century away , we are buying more everyday , 50yrs to come we will still be buying , so you will never get rid of Igbos in your lands we will forever be amongst you , while we in igboland our lands belongs to us 100%


Yes we will always attract hatred , we are competive ,we are proud ,we fear no man nor God , let me tell you my personal belief about God and the devil ,

both of them are creation of man , men who were smarter than other men created an invincible powerful God and wicked powerful Satan to mentally enslave gullible men that are not as smart as them

Your one million unbelief in God makes no meaning unless you can state the exact time you were formed in your mother's womb and you can live for ever. Otherwise, the remaining things about you are small.

If you don't fear God or man, then you shouldn't fear death. And if you don't fear death, you should forget about the 3 million people you claimed to have died during your civil war. Forget about it and move on except you can can bring them back to come and occupy the properties you have been buying with your fake-products and druggie businesses. Since you don't believe in God, you shouldn't believe that there's anything called wickedness. It's all about smartness like you claimed. So, how could someone have done any wickedness to you or your people. Take it as an act of smartness now.

Let me tell you what I've observed about you so far: your arguments are contradictory and dull. You also appear to be possessive about properties and conjugal things. Could that be because of the combination of Tiv and Ibo blood you claimed to be running in you? What's property? Go and ask the learned, they will tell you that it's land that appreciates in value not the property on it. That property can be pulled down at any time.

If you were so proud of Nigeria as your lord Zik's legacy, why did you declare a Biafra country in 1967? Lol... Since Nigeria is a proud legacy from your lord to you, why should you hate Awo for helping you to stay inside it? Awo remains a hero to us whether you like it or not. I've advised you earlier of what to do if you don't like it.

I repeat that your warped repeated statements about having properties make no meaning to me because it's a sign of poverty background. YORUBA LAND will continue to be Yooba Land. It's not Ibo land and it's not Tiv land, no matter how hard you covet it. Build your properties but remember that you you are building them on lease in YORUBA LAND.

jimyjames:


Good a fight between brothers ,brothers betraying brothers,as you yourself confirmed it's something that has been the lifestyle of the Yoruba's

The Jos and Kano riot were never political rather a personal resentment for the Igbos amongst their host , and there is a reason for that , read in achebe's words
The Igbo " being receptive to change, individualistic and highly competitive, gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society.
"Unlike the Hausa/Fulani he was unhindered by a wary religion and unlike the Yoruba unhampered by traditional hierarchies. This kind of creature, not fearing God nor man, was custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man's dispensation. And the Igbo did so with both hands.
"Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head-start the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950.
"Had the Igbo been a minor ethnic group of a few hundred thousand, their menace might have been easily and quietly contained. But they ran in their millions! Like J.P Clark's fine image of 'ants filing out of the wood' the Igbo moved out of their forest home, scattered and virtually seized the floor.
"But this kind of success can carry a deadly penalty: the danger of hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invites envy and and hatred.




I repeat Nigeria is ziks lagecy without zik there will be no Nigeria , whatever has become of Nigeria today , is done by you Yorubas and the northerners cause we Igbos have not been in power since after the Biafran civil war , you Yoruba's and the northerners have ruled this country even since and made it what it is today


We have not stopped buying properties in Yoruba land it's something we will continue doing as long as one Nigeria exist , yes we own 70% of properties in Lagos , we will own 50% in the entire Yoruba region 50 yrs to come , 99 yrs is a century my friend ,50 yrs to come people who own properties in Lagos will still have another 50 yrs to go , and still we will still be buying more and it will have no end

Who is your friend and who advised you about the rubbish you just wrote? I prayed a good prayer for you and you couldn't say Amen to it. I pray again that your legacy for your children and unborn generations will be like the house called Nigeria today. Can you say a loud Amen?

So your Zik, after the Jos riot of 1945 and Kano riot of 1953, couldn't discern enough and foresee that the lagacy he wanted to bequeath to you would be governed by Hausa and Yoruba leaders while your region is taken over by UGM? He must be a great man indeed.

Aren't you contradicting yourself? You claim to be the greatest beneficiaries of the Nigerian situation and yet you said that situation in which you profit the most is the handiwork of the Yoruba and Hausa rulers. Can you see your life?

Now you admitted that you ruled up to the time the civil war started, I think you people have been saying you have never ruled? Initially you boasted that Ekwueme and Shagari defeated Awolowo in 1979 but now you claimed you have not ruled since the civil war of 1967, in your imagination 1979 preceded 1967 right?

Of all that's going on around you, properties and other ephemeral things matter a lot to you the way you have been talking about them because of your poverty mentality. Whether for a century or not, your CofO has an expiry date. Even you the owner of the property has an expiry date. But the land will continue to be YORUBA LAND. Yoruba have properties in the UK and USA but UK will remain UK and USA will remain USA, so tell us another story.

Any amount that's countable is useless. Your CofO has expiry date so you can continue to pay land use charge and tenament rates to our state governments until you are served the quit notice. Besides, how many of your properties even have CofO if at all it's not a fake CofO? Hope you will not begin to shout hatred and marginalization when you begin to see all those properties you built with fake-products and druggie businesses turned to rubbles in the nearest future?

Judas Iscariot must be a Yoruba man since all Yoruba are betrayers. It takes only a betrayer to envy another betrayer and be running a cat race to have a property in the land of the betrayers.

Of course, the character to attract attacks on yourself anywhere you go is a good attitude you should be proud of. Hatred for your lousy nature by other ethinic groups started as early as 1945 and 1953 in Northern Nigeria as you just agreed to. Now it has spread to South Africa, Ghana, Indonesia, Malaysia and other parts of the world. That's an achievement to boast and rejoice about. "A creature that doesn't fear God or man", as your China Ashebi wrote about you, doesn't exist. Even the devil fears God and trembles. So, save us those lousy scraps! GOD ALMIGHTY can never be your mate.

jimyjames:

Yes the political fight between awolowo and akintola was between brothers first of it's kind , awolowo who couldn't solve simple political crisis peacefully with his own brother rather introduced politics of blood in Nigeria such a man was not fit to be president

Jos Kano riot had nothing to do with politics

Zik has lagecy Nigerian independence itself is ziks lagecy without zik there won't be Nigeria
Just like you credited zik for single handly removing secession from Nigerian constitution, Nigeria is ziks lagecy

I don't have time to read the long article you wrote , but facts still remain facts awolowo himself knew what a failure he was before he died in the 80s even though he claimed what he did to Biafran children was done as an act of war he still died with the guilt of killing millions of innocent children


Call us parasite or whatever, we are still the biggest beneficiary of one Nigeria 50 yrs to come we will own half of the properties in Yoruba land just like we do in Lagos , by then you will be begin to have oduduwa republic while the Igbos will be fighting for one Nigeria

I have told you that the fight between Awolowo and Akintola was a fight between brothers. Akintola was seen as a betrayer the way Afonja was, so it's none of your business. How does that concern you? Did the fight take place in your region? Can you educate me about the causes of Jos and Kano riots in which your people were attacked if those attacks had no political motivation?

Say whatever you like about Awolowo, we in the West will continue to like the late sage because his governance days were still the best in the recent times. If our love for him is giving you bellyache, you should consult your dokita.

Since you are happy to profit from destruction and the country as it's today, the present-day Nigeria, is what you're PROUD of as the only LEGACY of your lord Zik, can I say a word of prayer to you if you can answer amen? May the legacy you will leave for your children and generation unborn be like the contemporary Nigeria, where indigenous people of Benue have been turned to refugees in IDP camps, where many indigenous people of Kaduna, Kastina and Zamfara have been given mass burial, where kidnappers, cultists, rutualists and armed robbers kill at will, where terrorists have killed and truncated the education of many, where a young vibrant lady like Deborah Samuel can be killed and burnt in broad daylight, where corruption and bribery are the order of the day, where poverty has become endemic, and above all where TRUTH has become a scarce commodity. Can you say Amen to that and swallow your spittle?

I thought you said you already own 70% of the houses in Lagos, why do you have to wait another 50 years to own 50% of the properties in Yoruba LAND? You can even have 100% of the properties but the fact remains that it's YORUBA LAND. The land is given to you on lease, which expires after 99 years if you are lucky to have a CofO. If you don't have a CofO, well I pity you.

jimyjames:

You are running away from the point, awolowo fought with his own brother akintola over western region , awolowo and akintola were the first to introduce that kind of politics were one person hires thugs to carry weapons and attack his rival ,it was a war between awolowo and akintola forget about what he did to zik , they were the once that started operation wetie were members of awolowo and akintola were killing each other pouring acid on themselves , first of it's kind in the history of Nigeria


The one Nigeria awolowo and gowon created with the blood of 3 million Igbos he himself didn't enjoy it , and don't talk as if Yoruba's are enjoying the one Nigeria , you are not , we Igbos are even the biggest beneficiary of the so called one Nigeria , because we are all over Nigeria on every corner freely doing our business , making money from other regions buying lands from other regions and living comfortabley , so we Igbos should not even be fighting against one Nigeria ,. The reason for All these Biafra agitation is not really about marginalizion rather we Igbos are just a stubborn proud race , and looking back at a country we once had called Biafra makes it tempting for people of younger generation to think of a possible actualization of it , but deep down we know it's impossible that's why no Igbo political leaders talk about Biafra


We will always profit in this one Nigeria cause we own investment everywhere , paying taxes is nothing Yoruba land pays taxes to federal government don't they ? Who owns the international airport in Lagos? Federal government , who owns the sea ports in Lagos ? Federal government , the revenue goes to federal government and the money is shared to every state in Nigeria including igboland ,

Which point are you running away from, parasites? Say anything you like about Awolowo, we love him. The fight between Awolowo and Akintola was a fight between brothers, how is that your business? The longest civil war fought in Yoruba land called Kiriji war was worse than that, google about it. It was the Europeans that settled it. It's none of your business. Awolowo was not born at the time of Kiriji war, so say something else about someone introducing fight and thuggery into Nigerian politics. Jos riot of 1945 and Kano riot of 1953 also had nothing to do about Awolowo.

We gave Awolowo the mandate to be our Premier and we never regretted it. But can you point to one, just one legacy that your Zik left behind? Parasites that want to rule. Awolowo didn't create one Nigeria, Zik did. Nigeria did not gain independence in 1967 when Biafra war started, but in 1960.

Awolowo warned you about the need to have secession clause in the constitution before 1960 around the time the independence constitution was being prepared. Even Ahmadu Bello demanded that you allow Northern Nigeria to go its separate way. That was the best time to separate as the British were still around then. You wanted one Nigeria for your greedy economic reasons and you got it. After sealing off your one Nigeria by making it a treasonable felony for any part of the country to secede at independence, you embarked on the same secession journey and other Nigerians stood against it. You were only hanged on the same gallows that you had initially erected. So, leave Awolowo out of it.

If you are profiting in Nigeria, why are you crying marginalized? Greedy man. We know that you are not sincere about your Biafra because the corrupt Nigeria system really pays you well. You have been profiting because the corrupt system allows you to sell your fake products unchecked. Yet, you have been wailing and crying like little kids that have been seriously beaten by their mates. That you're milking Yoruba land is your original plan and the reason you wanted the one Nigeria. So, stop crying if you don't get the presidency come next year again. Your Biafra was also hatched out of greed, it was created to steal the oil rich Niger Delta, nothing more. Remove the coastal states from your Biafra map and all you see is starvation like it happened during the civil war.

Currently, your Monday sit at home policy and UGM have added injury to the hell of a place you call your land. You can buy land anywhere but your inability to deliver block votes during elections will remain your nemesis. Your votes remain scattered. You cannot eat your cake and have it. You are mere corporate beggers that have been standing against restructuring. You are not proud of your lands and that's why you have always played the spoiler. You have just exposed yourself about what we have always known. I wish people can read well your confessions here that you don't really want the Biafra you've been shouting about, it's a mere propaganda. It's also an indication that Obi will not support restructuring or state police. Keep exposing yourself for people to see you very well. You can't survive without Nigeria. That's the fact. Arrogant and greedy lots.

If you are not a lier that you appear to be, was Awolowo the head of State during the civil war? Was Awolowo a military man? Was Awolowo the one that made Decree 34 of 1966? Did Awolowo ask Biafrans to depend on Nigerian foods to survive during the war? Was Awolowo, the federal Commissioner of Finance, also the governor of the Central Bank? That you began to starve immediately Nigeria cut off the food supply to your region is an indictment on your claim that you can survive anywhere and without Nigeria. It also indicates that you are parasites. You cannot survive in your land and that seems to be the reason you have continued to leave your land enmasse as if it's a cursed land. Who want to live with arrogant people?

Your Biafra pounds were not recognized at international market during the war, so you broke into the Central Bank office to steal the ₦. Awolowo, being a shrewd lawyer and economist, advised about changing the currency overnight and the rest is history. How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war perished! A strong man that lacks native intelligence. Yes, you pay taxes to our governments which we use to pay salaries and run our civil service. Continue to labour and pay more taxes. There are federal taxes and there are state taxes. You will continue to pay state taxes to our governments. It's your duty to do so as long as you want to live in that region.

Mind you, England will continue to be England, Scotland will continue to be Scotland, Ireland will continue to be Ireland, Finland will continue to be Finland and Yoruba land will continue to be Yoruba land.

jimyjames:

We have never hidden the fact that we don't like awolowo, everyone knows Igbos are the only tribe in Nigeria who don't hide their feelings, if we don't like someone we look that person in the eye and tell that person we don't like you , and yes awolowo and gowon commited genocide in Igbo land and we told him that before he died so it's no hidden fact , we don't worship people in their presence and curse them behind their backs


Awolowo whom you claim is better than zik and balewa introduced these politics of bigotry and politics of blood we have today , awolowo couldn't even do a free and fair politics in his own western region , he fought with akintola over western region , the first political thugs and killings started between awolowo and akintola long before the nzeogwu coup

Awolowo who was sent to jail cause of his evil politics which many people from south west died for , would be released from prison and he will turn around to starve millions of innocent Igbo children for one Nigeria, the same one Nigeria he later begged to be president but didn't get it , one thing is these whether Nigeria favoures us Igbos or not we will still survive it , cause the plan of people like awolowo was to wipe out the entire Igbos during the civil war , but we survived it ,. We are all over Nigeria doing our business making money ,. Yes we pay taxes everywhere we live and do business it's a normal thing , paying Texas is not a bad thing most of Igbo billionaires made their money in Lagos so why won't they pay taxes?

Firstly, why did an Ibo man want to rule over Yoruba land of Western Nigeria? Did the Yorubas say they were not capable of ruling themselves? What kind of arrogance and insult would ever make an Ibo man to think of ruling the Yorubas in the then Western Region? The Yorubas have had an organised monachical (Obaship) system ever before the Europeans came to the coast of West Africa when the Ibos never had such a structure. Can an Ibo man who cannot prostrate for his father do so for any Oba in Yoruba land?

There were three eggs on the table to share among three friends. One friend (Hausa/Fulani) picked one (Northern Nigeria) . The second friend (Ibo man) wanted to pick the remaining two (Eastern Nigeria and Western Nigeria) and was even boastful about it. When the third friend (Awolowo) challenged him for his greed, he (the Ibo man) responded that the third friend (Awolowo) must allow it like that except he's a tribalist. Are we doing trade-by-barter of lands? May God save us from a greedy and arrogant neighbour.

And yes, the realist Awolowo never compared to your delusional Zik in any way. Awolowo contested, did not beg, for Nigerian presidency and you rejected him because of your hatred. Today, who is lamenting? Are the great grand children of Awolowo lamenting? Are you not the ones crying? We can still see how the grand children of Awolowo are doing well today, including the wife of the current VP. Where are the children of your lord Zik? Awo was right, is right and will be right about the correct governance system of Nigeria. You will soon understand that pride and greed go before destruction.

The legacy of Awolowo lives on today, what's the lagacy of Zik for you? Part of Awo's legacy is the civility of the Yorubas that you people enjoy when you come to the SW, it's the result of free education. Was Awolowo responsible for the Jos riot of 1945 in which the arrogant and greedy Ibos were attacked? Was Awolowo responsible for the Kano riot of 1953 that claimed many lives of the lousy Ibos? Nobody is begging you to like the Yorubas but the tenant that wants to fight his landlord must be ready to face the consequences without resulting to wailing or name-calling. Why are you crying about the Fulanis occupying your land today? Greedy people!

Hate Awolowo the way you like but note that a million of your hatred for him can never stop the love of the Yorubas for him. He advised you pre-independence to have a secession clause in the constitution but you rejected the idea because of your greed. Then your Zik was proud to ensure that secession was outlawed and made a treasonable felony in the constitution. Thereafter, your Ironsi destroyed the regional system with Decree 34 of 1966. But seven years into the the independence you wanted to leave the contraption that you helped chain and nail, forgetting that you had earlier made it a treasonable felony to do so. What a confusion!

Everybody is your enemy. From South Africa through Ghana to Indonesia and Malaysia. Even the late queen of England was not spared of your venom. What a people. Awolowo was sent to jail because of his evil policy, according to you. Who told you that rubbish, kid? How did your Akintola who supported your kangaroo government against his own kinsmen end his life? You know nothing. If you are that organized and good at developing places, why not develop your region first?Physician, heal yourself.

You're the ones wailing and crying marginalization. You are the ones running to Yoruba land for survival. You are the ones paying taxes to Yoruba governments. You see your life? You are the one in need of the Yorubas the more and not vice-versa. How far about your delusional one Nigeria that your lord Zik sold to the gullible people just for selfish economic reasons knowing that the Ibos will suffer the more should the coastal tribes be allowed to have their separate countries? We are on the ground for you in the SW. Our fathers have trodden this land for centuries of year and we understand the terrain better.

jimyjames:


My friend just like awolowo betrayed ojukwu and helped gowon to starve innocent Igbo children, so that he can become the president of Nigeria but failed , tinubu will fail too , read history awolowo lost that election to shagari and Alex ekweme that was the first election after the war an Igbo was VC president


And for your information , pretending to love someone when deep down in your heart you hate him it's not intelligence , that's cowardice deceit , and Yoruba's are known for it , they worship people in their presence and insults them at their back

You can like it or hate it, Awolowo remains a leader to beat among the recent leaders in Nigeria in general and Yoruba land in particular. Even Chief Adebanjo who has been campaigning for your Obi will very likely make a u-turn when it comes to you denigrating the late sage. Your hatred for Awolowo, who the Yorubas so much cherish, is not hidden and will cost your Peter Obi a great deal in SW. You can't hate foremost Yoruba leaders and expect them to support you in your mission to burn down their region. Is Lagos still a no man's land? Lol...

Zik formed alliance with Balewa in 1960 to spite Awolowo, Ekwueme was a VP to Shagari in 1979 to defeat Awolowo all because of your hatred for the Yorubas.

In what way was Zik, Balewa and Shagari better than Awolowo? The Nigeria of today is the outcome of your hatred for good leaders like Awolowo. Your hatred for Awolowo and Yorubas is because you so much covet Yoruba land; it's for economic reasons. You fear that people like Awolowo and Tinubu may initiate developmental policies that may strangle your fake-product business.

Where were Zik, Balewa and Shagari when Awolowo brought the first television station to Africa which has now been converted to NTA? Where were they when Awolowo bought the Western Nigeria house in London which is now called Abuja House? Where were they when Awolowo built the first sport stadium in Nigeria at Ibadan?

How far is the outcome of your evil alliances today? Besides, who is shouting marginalization today? Are the Ibos not the ones paying taxes to Yoruba governments today? How many Yorubas are in SE to pay taxes to your governments there? But can you mention any part of Yoruba land that Ibos don't pay tax to the state governments?

guru90:


Ok....

When Obi was Atiku's VP then.... Atiku lost it then because they hate Atiku very well......

Now, Obi is understanding on his own..........

So, Obi is a new breed via 9ja president..

At least he will value 9ja Education than all these waec holders as President.......

Think Twice...... Cast ur vote very well that day...

Nothing meaningful can happen until the country is restructured? Is Obi willing to restructure the country? Can we go back to the regional system destroyed by Aguiyi-Ironsi?

lhordspy:
The Lagos state government is too dull for my liking. Why deploy tear-gas firing police?

Send in OP mesa, the military with koboko let them restore this flat-headed miscreants brain back to its default setting.


Kai.. Danboroba shege !

And you claim to have a democracy?

Corridon:
Why is Tinubu afraid of Peter Obi?

Hmmmm. You want Lagos to be burnt down again as allegedly ordered by MNK during the EndSars rally?

SHINJA:
Very good...
Okoro Obi will be our next president..

Vote for Okoro obi

God bless southsouth and southwest

One brothers

Perhaps this will happen and there will be unity when there's no more order by someone to burn Lagos down, when there is a country and Lagos is no more a no man's land, when the Ibos truly agree to restructuring and regional government, when every tribe in Nigeria in general and in the Southern Nigeria in specific understand and respect their boundaries.

shortIGBOman:
IGBO People go dey happy because of this news. Unfortunately for them, Yoruba no go vote Peter Obi. Even IGBO People no go vote Peter Obi, cause IGBO no like themselves.

You must define the Yoruba you're referring to very well.

Do these Yorubas include those who give you headache according to Ishaq Akintola of MURIC?

Do these Yorubas include those over whose land you want to forcefully impose Sharia?

Do these Yorubas include those who your Jihadists have killed, kidnapped, maimed and raped in their farms?

Do these Yoruba include the victims of Owo Massacre?

Do these Yorubas include those whose cultures and ways of life you're working hard to arabanise?

OBJ's victory at the polls in 1999 was decided by other Nigerians, not the Yorubas. The same thing will repeat itself in 2023.

TinubuThief:

The Injustice in Nigeria is so annoying. I don't blame them for agitating for their own country. If you won't make them feel wanted, let them be. Marriage no be by force. No be do or die affairs

Where is the Injustice if Ibos own majority of houses in Lagos, Abuja, and PH as often claimed? Where is the injustice if Ibos are the richest people in Nigeria according to the Ibos themselves?

As for separation, the Ibos themselves made the separation difficult from the beginning. Ahmadu Bello once requested for separation while Awolowo asked for secession clause in the constitution pre-independence, when it was the easiest time for the regions to go their separate ways. But Nnamdi Azikiwe was proud to have a demand for separation outlawed as a treasonable felony in the Nigerian constitution. It was on the basis of that law that Awolowo was tried and imprisoned.

Lastly, if Nigeria breaks today, are the Ibos ready to leave other regions and go back to their region? The truth is that the Ibos were the most beneficiaries of Goodluck Jonathan's presidency and by implication have had their turn during GEJ's government.

IfnobeGod20:

But your mind goes to Tinubu by the intent of your comments so far but that not the case, my own is that we should stop tribalizing the polity because it won't do good but only compound the prevailing situations. Whether good or bad Igbo, Hausa, Fulani and other tribes will go to the same market and buy goods at the same rate.

Show me a statement in this thread to confirm that my comments go in support of any candidate. Just one statement if you are reasonable. I can provide a number of your statements to buttress your support for GPO but just give me a statement that indicates my support for BAT. Mind you, if I decided to vote for BAT it was still within my exclusive right just as you also have right to vote whoever you want.

I put it to you to reconfirm any of the candidates that was reported to have said he would implement RUGA if elected but your shallow response rather showed your level of information.

I put it to you again to reconfirm whether someone actually ordered that Lagos should be burnt down during Endsars as reported and to also juxtapose the no man's land slogan with the spirit of Decree 34 of 1966 that destroyed the then regional system but you again started to parambulate.

Then I put it to you on whether the agitation for sharia and the ongoing occupation of the forests in the SW are not a threat to the heritage of the Yorubas but you rather began to roam and assert that none of the candidates is a threat to the Yoruba heritage even when some of your responses were contradictory.

As per tribalising, you can't infuse what's practically not infusable. Oil and water don't mix from the time immemorial. The Almighty Creator that created you of diverse languages, tribes, races, colours, etc. from the time immemorial has a reason for doing so.

You must recognize your boundaries and diversity in order to be able to manage them. I can't deliberately decide to be delusional about the reality of tribalism in the country as I have witnessed it in the past. Mo'wa f'oniwa l'onje ore jo're. Respect is reciprocal. It is when you learn to stay on your lane and I learn to stay on mine that fraction can be avoided.

So, I wish you a good luck.

No

IfnobeGod20:

But it was Tinubu's party that proposed RUGA through through the former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://punchng.com/fg-begins-ruga-settlements-in-taraba-adamawa-plateau-kaduna-others/%3Famp&ved=2ahUKEwjUidLy3Lf6AhX8SfEDHSF2DkwQFnoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2fpzjlWsJGSw5MMfm6lymD
So, it is the policy of APC which Tinubu also giving full backing because anytime fulani strike, he asks where are the cows.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hallmarknews.com/if-they-are-herdsmen-where-are-their-cows-tinubu-asks-as-he-visits-fasoranti/&ved=2ahUKEwjr_7LF3bf6AhWlRPEDHYPPBykQFnoECBUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0lrW4QhhHR-jO85Rr3st_a
If your candidate has been vocal to go against it and join Afenifere and other well meaning Omoluabi, no one can contemplate of establishing RUGA in Yoruba land.

Mere words of Lagos as no man's land cannot change Lagos status you need to understand that. Every lands and sections of the country are constitutionally designated and cannot be ceded as no man's land. Before that one can be done, the National Assembly must seat and deliberate on it. So, it is none issue and just mere words. As they've been saying it, did you see any enlightened person giving heed to their words, aside from people without knowledge of land delimitation. Go ask lawyer, he will tell you same, that is mere words.

Who is MURIC backing if not Tinubu. He said before the primary that Yoruba muslims will not vote christain candidate from south west.

And MURIC also shows its was in support of Muslim-muslim candidates by the reply its gave against CAN on the Bishops that attended the unveiling of Shettima.

MURIC was the first to start attacking the person of Osinbajo before Prof. Kpero picked it and started the campaign of hate against him and his religion.

If you had been reading my responses to you very well, you would have known that I have no preferred candidates among the contestants. I told you earlier that none of them doesn't appear to threaten the Yoruba heritage..

IfnobeGod20:

None of the contestants threaten the Yoruba heritage. Hausa, Fulani and Igbo have overwhelmingly voted for the cause of Yoruba in the past. Hausa/Fulani supported OBJ overwhelmingly in both 1999 and 2003. Igbo overwhelmingly supported OBJ in both presidential elections, even when their own son was on the ballot, Chukwuemeka Odumegwe Ojukwu. They left their son and voted for our Omoluabi revered son, OBJ.
Come to think of it, if we have to take stock, Igbo have even supported Yoruba than any other tribes in Nigeria because fulani and Hausa voted for their son in 2003 while Igbo overwhelmingly voted for OBJ.
You're seeing it as a threat but never a threat but the law of Charles Darwin is in display. The survival of the fittest. It is just a political struggle and it comes with attendance negatives and positives vibes which many of you doesn't understand. Everybody are Fighting for regional survival, no one want to be marginalized or neglected.
But in a real sense where there is equity, justice and love. The Yoruba Nation suppose team up with Igbo extraction, since in this new dispensation the Yoruba Nation has had bites on the presidency through OBJ and Osinbajo but no love.

I want to ask you, as the chorus of saying Lagos is no man's land, as it change its status to no man's land? Lagos can never be no man's land because even the blind k ow that Lagos is owned by Aworis kingdom, only their population is not too much and that is why it seems outsiders owns Lagos.

Both the Yorubas and Igbos have not healed the wounds of the past and that is what is causing the misunderstanding while the elderly among the two tribes are not helping matter. They've sown seed of lies and discord in the hearts of their children and the children is sowing same in the minds of their own children and the circle continues. I think we that are enlightened need to change the narrative and love than hate, create equity than segregation, create justice than bitterness.

Let me quickly burst your bubbles. If there is anyone that is destabilizing the Yoruba Nation with religion activity is MURIC. It is MURIC that has taken the case for the establishment of Shari'a courts in all Yoruba states. The case is already at the supreme court.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bellanaija.com/2017/10/muric-sharia-court-south-west/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjx_v_psrf6AhXXhP0HHaC4Bk8QFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1x0KG0YidE-rU8y36-jziu

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://dailypost.ng/2021/05/29/muric-backs-sharia-in-south-west-tells-christians-to-mind-their-business/%3Famp%3D1&ved=2ahUKEwjx_v_psrf6AhXXhP0HHaC4Bk8QFnoECAoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw05vGdnlwXAhQlPsEfi7Tpx

So at anytime expect the establishment of Sharia court in south west and Edo, courtesy of MURIC.

It was the same MURIC that took Lagos state government to court for not allowing their girls wear hijab in school and the supreme court had already ruled in their favour about two or three months ago.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/537539-supreme-court-upholds-students-rights-to-wear-hijab-to-lagos-schools.html&ved=2ahUKEwjb9peCtLf6AhWMQvEDHaoaCiUQFnoECAwQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1ZcNiSnvUduzfgcAevnihE

So, any religion disharmony you're seeing in south west is orchestrated by no other group than MURIC and not any tribe.

If you feel RUGA establishment is not a threat, visit the Igangan people and let them share their experiences with you. Then reconfirm whether one of the contestants truly said he would go ahead with RUGA.

Of all nations, lands, and tribes in the world, can you share the knowledge of any one known as a no man's land? Can the no man's land slogan be separated from the objective of Decree 34 of 1966? Is it true and verifiable that one of them ordered a state in your region to be burnt down? https://www.nairaland.com/7281703/old-video-nnamdi-kanu-giving

If you still feel that none of the contestants threatens your heritage, find out who the MURIC you just mentioned is backing among the contestants.

Whichever way you see it, you're always free to vote for your choice.

jrusky:


You are the most foolish one here because all the nonsense you wrote is a so silly incoherent, useless analysis and poor write up. So it's obi who you foolish fake Yoruba man want to vote for baa?

Go and work on yourself if not you will forever reman a slave to other tribe and a slave to other people conscience because if you are not foolish sane obi people killed your awolowo with rat poison or you want to pretend you don't know? Same obi people mocked MKO to death and tortured him to death go and do thorough fact to confirm all I'm saying. It's same people who stood against obj administration now same people are against Osibanjo, Tinubu, oba of Lagos, insulting your papa, your mama, insults your entire tribe, calling your tribe smelling, dirty a s s holes to your face yet you slowpoke cursed Yoruba man still seen them as the best. Shame on you.

Mind you I'm not apc I'm pdp to the core but instead for obi to rule Nigeria apc should carry on ruling till Jesus return.

The guy you responded to just told you the truth about everyone's right to vote the candidate of their choice. Some of you BAT followers may not no the gravity of the damage you have done.

You have remained perpetually silent over the incessant killings by the invaders you have brought to Yoruba land with your proverbial insect-infested woods.

Was it ever heard that a church building was attacked in a broad-day light with about 50 worshippers killed in the history of Yoruba land? Well, it happened in Owo this year, in the same year one of you, who claimed to be a professor, boldly said Yoruba Christians are your headache. And as confirmed, the culprits are the people of your faith.

Do you want the votes of the people that give you headache? Can you take the votes of the people already killed by the Jihadists? Do you want the votes of the people over whom you intend to implement sharia to count for you? Lol...

OBJ won without the support of the SW, justice therefore requires that your candidate should win without the support of the SW.

Lovelive:
Your heart is too dark.
Please repent for the sake of your children and unborn ones.


Tribal sentiments do not build nations.

Have you repented of your arrogance and covetousness? Is Yoruba land still a no man's land?

IfnobeGod20:

I won't condescend to your level because as Omoluabi we are trained to always respect people no matter their age, level and grid. However, I will graciously advise you to circumspect and be mature enough to know that we are in democratic environment and everyone have the right to support whomever he/she wants. Wanting to force your archaic ideology on others defeat reasoning.
You even went overboard claiming Ibo killed Awolowo, mocked MKO Abiola to death and what have you. See the way your poisoned mind is rewriting history to justify your political correctness. Shame.
While you were drown in bitterness and lie, the grandchildren of the people you claimed they killed or mocked are giving the same Peter Obi maximum support.
They moved against OBJ but they voted overwhelmingly for the same OBJ twice and helped his goverement through Okwonjo Iweala. Same OBJ is the one taking Peter Obi up and down and helping him to make contact with who is who but you're wallowing in bile just to spite your imaginary foes.
The moved against Osinbajo in your dream. If Osinbajo had won the APC primary, you would have seen many people of Igbo extraction giving him maximum support. Stop drinking Panadol on another people's headaches. It defeat the Omoluabi identity.
You cannot continue pushing people to the wall and expect them not to talk or revolt.
I am supporting Peter Obi on competence not because he is Ibo. We've played clannish, ethnic and religion politics too long and it has not paid off for the country, instead it has retrogress the nation and make the country a laughing stock in the comity of nations. No reasonable person that can think deep will play ethnic or religious politics with the happenings in the nation and not first save the nation before swimming in ethnic bias.
Besides, I am always surprise when they throw truth at you guys, you turn it to abuse and thrown off feet. As Tinubu ever supported the cause of Yoruba nation? I expected you to counter the points I raised instead of resorting to abuse, lies, denigration and unfounded propaganda.
Whether you are for PDP or APC is none of my business. You have your choice to make but you can't force any Yoruba man or woman to give support to the personal ambition of Tinubu because he has not show cause that Yoruba agenda matter to him in the past.
If it was Osinbajo that won the APC primary, you would have seen how the whole Yoruba land would have rally round him because of what the lineage and his root have done in the past. Awa kin se omo ale Yoruba. Eni to ba fowo osi juwe Ile baba re, omo ale Yoruba ni. Tinubu has shown that trait and it is time to pay him for what he has done in the past in backstabbing the course of Yoruba.
Campaign is starting tomorrow, you've not seen anything yet, you will cry blood when you finally seen those against your Tinubu self ambition and if you think you guys want to turn the campaign to tribal one, I bet you Tinubu will be at the receiving end because he is the only one that have not put his house in order among the major contestants, knowing fully well that Fulani and Hausa will always swim together to project northern interest. Continue I beg you in your tribal mannerless.

Well, you have your points and reasons to vote for the candidates of your choice. Each of the candidates on ground appears to threaten the Yoruba heritage in some ways.

A candidate that plans to implement RUGA is a threat.

A candidate, whose people have been covetous of Yoruba lands and boldly assault Yorubas in their lands, claiming Yoruba land is a no man’s land, is a threat.

A candidate, whose followers have been arabanising Yoruba cultures and requested for sharia implementation in the SW during the recent national constitution review, despite all the killings and attacks by the black Arabs on Yorubas in their ancestral lands, is also a threat.

Quodseverismete:
God bless your family and their generation Sir, history will be kind to you.

I am not an Igbo man, but my conscience is rooting for #peterObi . The brutal maginalization of the Igbo is too much, like I said earlier on- A NATION CAN SURVIVE ECONOMIC CRISES, PANDEMIC, HUNGER AND STARVATION, NATURAL DISASTER AND EVEN POLITICAL CRISIS, BUT NO NATION CAN SURVIVE INJUSTICE FOR TOO LONG

If Ibos own most if not all houses in Lagos, Abuja, PH, etc, as often claimed by them, then how truthful is it that they are being marginalized?

If Nnamdi Azikiwe, Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi had ruled Nigeria before and Alex Ekwueme had been a VP before, then how truthful is it that Ibos are being marginalized?

If Nigeria was built on the tripod of North, East, and West, then on which of the three legs did GEJ stand to become the president of Nigeria? Wasn't Bayelsa where GEJ came from part of the old Eastern Nigeria the way Delta and Edo were part of the old Western Nigeria?

ejimatic:
. On a lighter mood this Baba has no electiral value in the SW. He cannot even win a Councilor election. On a serious note ,as I have said earlier on this plartform it is the turn of the SW to rule Nigeria.Can LP be used to produce Igbo presidency? Answer is NO! ! Even with 5000 votes either PDP or APC will win the presidential election .I however prefer APC for another Hausa Fulani man can't ruke us for another 8 years consecutively

So that your agitations for sharia in the SW can be easily implemented right?

jrusky:
This man should go and sit down no one recognised afenifere in SW if you doubt me go to the street of any SW State and mention afenifere no one knows them, they control no state nor has any voting power.

No SW state will vote for obi come Feb 2023, all you morons zombiediots stop wasting your time on anything SW they are never going to vote obi, forget anything North they are not going to vote obi know this and hav peace.

I'm declaring it categorically we true Nigerians can never ever entrust our nation in the hand of our enemy. You can not be on ipob and Biafra side and at samectime want to rule Nigeria it will never happen.

Adebanjo want money I guess he is a broke a s s old man if your motherfucker obi give him his money sorry is the answer by Feb 2023. Yoruba will never vote obi take it or burst it.

What will I lean from them? That he was a prince of Mecca. It was supposedly the persecution of the Muslim elite of the city that caused him and his fellow animists to leave Arabia. Or that he was a migrant from Egypt.

Believe or not, Oduduwa was in fact a prince of the royal family of Benin kingdom. He left Benin due to a struggle over the royal succession. It is supposedly due to this fact that a descendant of his was subsequently allowed to return and found the dynasty that rules the kingdom of Benin to this day.

Where did the Ogisos, the sky kings, come from?

Why should Ekaladerhan, a so called crown prince, be punished for the sin of a queen?

How old was Ekaladerhan when he left Igodomigodo and how old was he when he was supposedly found in Ife if he was too old to return to Bini according to you?

How did the Bini searchers know that the Ekaladerhan they were looking for, who was now very old, was the person they found in Ife? Did he tell them he was going to Ife?

Why was it that of all the lands and people surrounding Igodomigodo, it was Ife that Ekaladerhan chose to go? Does that indicate that Ife was a reputable and famous town then?

Why would Ekaladerhan change his name to Izoduwa?

What is the meaning of Oduduwa? What is the meaning of Odu as in Odufuwa, Odumakin, Odumosun, Odusote, Odukunle, Odukoya, etc.?

Why was Oranmiyan the child sent to Bini by the ruler of Ife then supposedly known as Izoduwa,according to you? Was Oranmiyan the only child of the so called Izoduwa?

Who was Okanbi (the only one born)? Why do the Yorubas say Okan l'omo O'dua (O'dua's child is one)?

Why was the title of the Bini ruler changed from Ogiso to Oba since according to you Oranmiyan was not allowed to rule over Bini?

Why was Oranmiyan not allowed by Bini chiefs to rule over Bini since Oduduwa, his father, was from Bini according to you?

Who was ruling over Bini when the Bini chiefs had prevented Oranmiyan from ruling over them?

How long did Oranmiyan stay in Bini and how Old was Oduduwa when Oranmiyan returned to Ife since Oduduwa was too old to go to Bini initially according to your story?

Did Oranmiyan meet Oduduwa on the throne when he came back to Ife?

If Oranmiyan was a child of Oduduwa, why was he still be able to reign five generations after Oduduwa? Does that indicate that Oranmiyan was as old as Methusela before he became the king? Or does it indicate that the preceeding rulers before him never lived long?

Why did the Binis start recently to celebrate "the return of Oodua" festival and not the "return of Izoduwa" festival?

Why did the Bini suddenly abandon their Ogiso title for Oba and Igodomigodo name for a strange name called Ile-Ibinu when Oranmiyan was not allowed to rule over them for long and despite that these are foreign names?

Why do Binis also worship so many Yoruba gods like Ogun (the god of Iron), Olokun - the owner of "okun" (ocen) i.e. the god of the sea?

Why do some Bini people bear Yoruba names?

What is the origin of Ekiokpagha treaty which has been kept as part of the coronation ceremony of new Oba of Bini for years and why is Bini authority trying to repress this treaty recently?

Is the concern of the Ogiames of Bini as stated in this article true: https://guardian.ng/features/ogiso-and-ogiamien-are-aborigine-binis-while-oba-of-benin-is-of-yoruba-descent-high-chief-esotericist-monday-wehere/?

harrystories:

The Kingdom of Benin, also known as the Benin Kingdom, was a pre-colonial kingdom in what is now southern Nigeria. Its capital was Edo, now known as Benin City in Edo state. It should not be confused with the modern-day Republic of Benin, formerly the Republic of Dahomey. The Benin Kingdom was "one of the oldest and most highly developed states in the coastal hinterland of West Africa, dating perhaps to the eleventh century until it was annexed by the British Empire in 1897.


The original people and founders of the Benin Kingdom, the Edo people, were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) who called their land Igodomigodo. The first Ogiso (Ogiso Igodo), wielded much influence and gained popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest son.

In the 12th century, a great palace intrigue erupted and crown prince Ekaladerhan, the only son of the last Ogiso was sentenced to death as a result of the first Queen (who was barren) deliberately changing an oracle message to the Ogiso. In carrying out the order of the palace, the palace messengers had mercy and set the prince free at Ughoton near Benin.

When his father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty ended. The people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as natural next in line to rule.

The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan had changed his name to Izoduwa meaning 'I have chosen the part of prosperity' and found his way to Ile-Ife. It was during this period of confusion the elders led by Oliha mounted a search for the banished Prince Ekaladerhan whom the Ife people will now called Oduduwa. Oduduwa, who could not return due to age, granted them Oranmiyan, his son, to rule over them. Oranmiyan was resisted by Ogiamien Irebor, one of the palace chiefs and took up his abode in the palace built for him at Usama by the elders (now a coronation shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Ogie-Egor, the ninth Enogie (Duke) of Egor, by whom he had a son.

After some years residence here he called a meeting of the people and renounced his office, remarking that the country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu Yoruba words (by which name the country was afterward known) and that only a child born, trained and educated in the arts and mysteries of the land could reign over the people. He caused his son born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in his place, and returned to Yoruba land Ile-Ife. His son whom he left behind was deaf and dumb, and the elders recoursed to Oranmiyan who gave them charmed seeds "omo ayo" to play with which will make him to talk.

The little Oranmiyan played with the seeds with his peers at Egor his mother’s hometown. While playing with the seeds he announced "Owomika" meaning 'my hands catch it' in yoruba but corrupted to 'Eweka' by the Edos. This is why every Oba of Benin must stay seven days in Usama and announce his name at Egor. Eweka thus started the Oba dynasty. Oranmiyan was also the founder of Oyo Empire where he ruled supreme as the first Aalafin of Oyo and proceeded to ile ife to become the 6th Ooni of ife while his descendants rules in Ile Ife, Oyo and Benin.

By the 15th century, Benin had expanded into a thriving city-state. The twelfth Oba in line, Oba Ewuare the Great (1440–1473) would expand the city-state's territories to surrounding regions.

It was not until the 15th century during the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great that the kingdom's administrative centre, the city Ubinu, began to be known as Benin City by the Portuguese, later be adopted by the locals as well. Before then, due to the pronounced ethnic diversity at the kingdom's headquarters during the 15th century from the successes of Oba Ewuare, the earlier name ('Ubinu') by a tribe of the Edos was colloquially spoken as "Bini" by the mix of Itsekhiri, Esan, Igbo, Ijaw Edo, Urhobo living together in the royal administrative centre of the kingdom. The Portuguese would write this down as Benin City. Though, farther Edo clans, such as the Itsekiris and the Urhobos still referred to the city as Ubini up till the late 19th century, as evidence implies.

Aside from Benin City, the system of rule of the Oba in his kingdom, even through the golden age of the kingdom, was still loosely based after the Ogiso dynasty, which was military and royal protection in exchange of use of resources and implementation of taxes paid to the royal administrative centre. Language and culture was not enforced but remained heterogeneous and localized according to each group within the kingdom, though a local "Enogie" (duke) was often appointed by the Oba for specified ethnic areas.
