[s] Mayor101010:[/s] Guy Edo is nothing to compare to igbo... Igbo has Kingdom which is the same as empire, only daft people don't know that both words are the same... Meanwhile Edo as a whole both the lost empire and her people has been reduced to nothing but one state... You guys are now liabilities that can only be powerful at night wielding brooms and flying around disturbing neighbours. 1 Like 1 Share |

all the traditional rulers mentioned are only known in their community except the ooni of ife. ooni of ife is king over all the yoruba regions of togo and benin republic and cuba and the oyotunji yoruba community in america and brazil. in fact he was invited and received at the USA congress and stock exchange this year as well as the oyotunji yoruba community in america which is a yoruba state in america. all the other obas are not known outside nigeria. OONI OF IFE IS NUMBER ONE NOT ONLY IN NIGERIA BUT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL AFRICAN KING IN THE WHOLE WORLD 10 Likes 1 Share |

The person dat posted this topic did it out of ignorance. Did he even read the history of hausas, and fulanis? Imagine, he included Emir of Kano, and excluded Shehu of Borno kingdom. N.B- The two most powerful kings in hausa/fulani kingdom are: Sultan of Sokoto, and Shehu of Borno Kingdom 3 Likes 1 Share |

slurryeye: You have a shallow thinking... And how does being a chancellor transcend to being powerful in the region? . Ooni is a nobody but a guest in anywhere in igbo land... He might not be allowed to wear his crown to even enter the east let alone issue a royal or non royal order, is he crazy?? And for the records...

ajokebelle: I won't agree with your assertion as to the Ooni's might. That he goes around attending occasions and visiting people is only normal, and that have not in anyway reduced his powers. And don't forget that aside from him visiting, he's also being visited. And asper his contributions, if you follow the cyber space very well, you'll know what he has contributed in his very short term on the throne to his immediate community which will in time reflect in the country's economy. As to the programmes he attends, it depends on the point you view things from, but I assure you, he believes they are not pointless but very helpful. I don't know maybe you can recollect he also visited the Alaafin, a feat that have not happened in a while. So for every of his visit, there's more to what we can decipher. Thank you. 2 Likes |

Mayor101010: You are very immature in history... I guess you've not heard of nri Kingdom in your life.. Now just do a simple Google research.. Benin empire is no where near nri Kingdom. Fact is that nri Kingdom predated Benin empire and lasted till the 19th century but Benin empire was simply dissolved by the British in the 18th century. And another fact is that nri Kingdom controlled more larger territory than the Benin empire territory... Benin no reach where igbo dey, Igbos are far more ahead of your small group 1 Like |

post=50936093: In your bid to insult Yoruba, you listed Edo as part of southwest. I'm not surprised, very typical of airheaded Osus Meanwhile, the top 5 eroded states in Nigeria are 5 Alaigbo states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. Your situation is so critical that government as to seek the assistance of world Bank "The severity of environmental degradation prompted the Nigerian government to seek urgent support from the World Bank to tackle the challenge in seven states on a pilot basis: Abia, Anambra, Cross River, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu and Imo". http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2013/11/26/combating-erosion-in-nigeria-new-project-spells-hope-in-seven-states 8 Likes 1 Share |
