To all Benin people make sure you don't die from now till December 31st cos u wouldn't be rest in peace!!

onomeasike:

Thanks. There are historical documents and journals dating back to two hundred years ago that support the Yoruba assertions that obas of Benin are Ife princes. The problem is that you never searched for it. This issue is not new On Nairaland so you can diligently read through, the only new thing is the lie peddled by the late oba of Benin which doesn't have any historical antecedents nor clear evidence.
Nowhere in the world will someone wake up one day, write a book and claim authority over superior historical events that have been documented without providing superior proof. The Yoruba ancestors were wise enough to insist that the heads of oba of Benin are buried in ile Ife if not these liars would have gone away with their attempts at rewriting history.

onomeasike:

Some people have already done so. And as we write this, the Moslems in Benin have already buried their dead today so carry these your fake threats and lies in the tradition away

UyiIredia:
The Oba is being foolish.

paradigmshift:

your father is foolish

UyiIredia:


My father is dead so he can't be foolish. The Oba who is alive is foolish.

paradigmshift:


foolishness killed him and the foolishness is transfered to you....if you don't know something, u ask...

UyiIredia:


No, stroke killed him not foolishness. The Oba is foolish. Why should I ask anything ? Obviously, his proclamation is going to cause difficulties for Benin people.

and "federal character" told you to disrespect the culture of your place of residence?

LorDBolton:


you're embarrassing yourself and displaying ignorance.

You cannot be in one region in naija nd think you know EVERYTHING going on in other nations.

In some nations it's in their constitution In others it's an unwritten rule...

As for business ventures? Maybe u think the queen of England sits in the palace waiting for. Govt alert? She's never even declared her personal business interests publicly and Only VOLUNTARILY pays tax on them(even the amount is never revealed)

He collects tax & forwards it to govt purse...if that is wrong then I believe you're not really educated... if u consider tax collection 'exploitative'

Lmao...they don't infringe on people's rights? Oga I see no point replying u any further. Bye

Like @ cyrilmax posted 'if you don't respect your tradition, I do mine'

It's not our fault your king's are powerless n subject to 'political enthronement' thus trade their respect for governors support to beat other ASPIRANTS to the throne.

This is the kind of culture that clearly needs modification to suit the time. Our people tend to rigidly bind themselves with all the cultures of the past,both progressive and retrogressive,without realising we are in the present and that is our responsibility to shape the future with our plausible actions of today.

We are the culture makers and we make it to suit our needs and life style.

Bro, read books..when you do sufficiently, come back and restructure your premises; i am sure you do not know her powers have limitations too.. Read about King Charles 1 of the 17th century and get enlightened.
