Gbonka Ebiri Replies Sahara Reporters over Threat To Oba Of Benin by chopnaira: 2:07pm On Sep 06
@nidcom_gov @abikedabiri

I want to appreciate the good work you have been doing for Nigerians. This news article released by Sahara reporters happened over 3 years ago during a heated argument between me and some Edo supremacists who are known to be spreading hate against the Ooni of Ife who a spiritual leader of the Yoruba people. Being a traditionalist my religion and identity was attacked.

Ooni of Ife was called a thief and scammer. His title was changed to a derogatory word ‘Hot of Ife’ these people mocked the death of a Yoruba Oba in Ekiti who was kidnapped and his wife violated by kidnappers. My response was in an impulsive moment against the attackers which I later regretted irrespective of the provocation as a proper Omoluabi and patriotic Nigerian.

Attached below is one of the people who testified that I have an apology immediately it happened two years ago. Full

Furthermore, when this matter was brought up three days ago by people who are my political opponents, I tendered another apology where I described the event, not knowing that they would have gone ahead and paid Sahara reporters to twist what happened for their own diabolical agenda.

Attached below is examples of comments made by these same people who were on the platform. Constantly denigrating the Ooni of Ife for many years with words that can trigger any Yoruba man or woman who sees him as a spiritual head.

Finally, I will also for the fourth time, in the space of two years apologize for the comment made against the Oba…. I did that immediately on that very day two years ago. I did it on another platform two years ago and I also apologized 48 hours ago before this matter got to this level and I am also apologizing again.

I am imploring Nigerian authorities to help us address this issue of constant hate and threats towards the throne of Ooni of Ife by some of the individuals in the tweet below. These attacks causes these unfortunate reactions. These individuals have severally made attempts to invade Ondo and annex it to Edo empire

As recent as yesterday… these same individuals still called the Ooni of Ife a scammer and a thief. These words are hurtful and provocative.

This kind of outburst will not happen from me again. May God bless Nigeria and may Nigeria succeed.

Apology Gbonka posted Yesterday

In sequel to my audio recording that is being peddled by some individuals where I made certain statements against the Oba of Benin…. I hereby openly apologize to the Oba of Benin stool.

My outburst was because some Bini Supremacists in a session mocked the gruesome killing of an Oba of Ekiti and disrespect to his wife. I responded with the pain I felt at the time and said things that should not have been said.

It is on record that in that same room they called the Ooni of Ife, "Hot of Ife", which made me utter those rash words and this matter happened 3 years ago.

Once again, apologies to the Oba of Benin stool which is an Oduduwa stool, therefore a stool I belong to by extension. I reached out and apologized to the Benin people who took offense with the word…. refrained since then from ever talking negatively about the Oba.

This was one reason I have stayed away from every Benin/Yoruba issues…. I refused to get involved with the tensions about the joke of the Oba among his brothers when he visited Lagos

I wish the Oba of Benin and his family long life and prosperity in good health and riches in abundance

The issue remains though that when I believe someone is attempting to use the rising Yoruba consciousness for a dangerous selfish agenda, I have a duty voice it out and give caution.

God bless Nigeria.

But he said it?
And it didn't go viral
No calls for arrest
No Writing to US authorities
No tagging his tribe as rapists
No asking tinubu to condemn the statement
No statement from yoruba leaders
It just died down like that

I don't really understand why Igbos are hated to this extent. One Amaka said what she said and for weeks now Igbos have been facing several backlash. Obi and other leaders even went ahead to condemn the statement yet tribal bigots were not still satisfied

Why is the statement "everyone No matter their tribe deserve the same justice " a taboo to many idiots. Na wa oo

Rubbish
If Amaka apologized the same day, will you defend her?

And does apologies mean you didn't say it?

When it comes to justice, the same measures should be applicable to all

Of course the guy Gbonka said it and he apologized.

But Amaka did not apologize. She instead held another space to boast and stand by her threat.

So why the backlash on her tribe and not on her alone? Should we go back to the amount of hatred and hateful words Said to igbos because of that

So her no apologies should be the reason for involving her tribe

So the Gbonka Ebiri even exist.

I thought they said he doesn't exist and he is not Yoruba


What the 2023 election have been able to expose is the fact that Tinubu is a notorious tribal bigot. His ethnic and tribal bigotry is unrivaled in history

I am not the people you talked about. Gbonka is 100% Yoruba. He was popular on clubhouse and still popular on twitter as a Yoruba guy. I agree with the bolded.

It applies both ways


If not for strong evidences, we were once made to believe Amaka and the other guys on that session were all Yorubas masquerading as Igbos

Attack the two groups, stop being hypocritical

Anyi_anambra, you have failed. We the owners of Nigeria are not letting you go anywhere until we are done with you. We have you in chains. You have Azikiwe to thank for that.

The annoying thing is that we can't even call it a mere Amaka talk. They have been poisoning via fake drinks, drugs, baby food e.t.c.. The celebrity that currently had a failed kidney transfer said his original kidney was damaged by fake drinks.

When Nnamdi Kanu told his people to start sitting at home, people also thought it was a joke. May God help us ooo.

Is this you or not?

What's my business with the apologies.
