This is 21 century Onitsha kingdom can you compare it to Benin which is state capital of Edo state

Mayor101010:
Do you really know the meaning of a kingdom or an empire?... You don't build an empire with thatched huts.. Please go get some education..

You are laughable...
As old as you are I believe you don't know there is no difference between both terms except the spelling..
Those thatched huts is familiar with your empire in actual reality...

I pity for bini bc they have been reduced to minority even smaller ethnicities will over run them overnight. It took biafra a day to overrun Benin and install a biitch as power... Imagine

gregyboy:

Bini never and can never control the igbos, now I know your brain capacity is below sea level. Tell me one evidence of such, even Benin empire hire blacksmiths from nri Kingdom to do their metal works. Go and read your history

LOL... Your small bini made the whole Nigeria not to be colonized by Portuguese is just an imagination of a figment of your brain, when Portuguese came, was their Nigeria?? Guy dey lie small small now

Please your kind should always remain bini by birth, people who just think and wish and live by self deceit and denial... You control Nigeria yet you can't even control Edo state... Yeye dey smell... No tribe will even accept you even if your creator give you to them free of charge... Lmaooo [/b]

gregyboy:

You are lacking in history...

Nri Kingdom is the oldest Kingdom in Nigeria..
Nri Kingdom stood firm even when other empires and Kingdom had lost their fight to British...

Nri Kingdom is the last Kingdom to be conquered in this present country and no Kingdom or empire pre-dates Nri Kingdom... Go and ask Google...

Hurtful truth

gregyboy:
is it been judged by population dey controll or by tribalism or by achievement or by strength they have now let's rate this

1.most ruled king in populations = sultan of sokoto

2. by strength and popularity= oba of benin

3.most travelled and adore= ooni of ife

4.most rich= emir if kano

5..most feared and respected=oba of benin

6.most funny= king of calabar wearing two crowns one by British one for himself

Ovokoo:

Personal arrangement determined by who? The federal government? Pls elucidate.

Ovokoo:

That's a personal opinion. The people ahead of the Ooni deserve to be there. We all know there's no traditional ruler as powerful as the Sultan as he also doubles as the head of the Muslim community in Nigeria. The Emir is also very powerful in the north and is highly revered throughout the country. The Oba of benin is arguable the most powerful traditional ruler in the south and then the Ooni before the Alaafin. We're all entitled to our opinions anyways.

Atomizer:
Traditional institution is ranked according to the population they cover or have authority over... Historically, politically and what have u
Sultan of sokoto #1
Ooni of ife (the birthplace of the Yoruba race, and whence the Oba of Benin came from) #2
3
4
5
How ever u wish the rest, but that one and two are at par... Forget the igbo people becos kingship and the traditional institution just became a wide spread phenomenal.

Apart from places like igbo ukwu, and nri (Impo).

eleshin:


Beyond Benin who respect and fear Oba of Benin? Wtf is he? Most popular? Like seriously? Ooni is the King of all Yorubas, even beyond Nigeria. Apart from Sultan of Sokoto Ooni is the most powerful Oba in Nigeria.

jolomiurenyi:


I'm not here to argue, in Delta state the number one King is the OLU OF WARRI and you know that.

NotNairalandi:
Obi of Kano nko

AKYEMITE:
Ooni is second in Nigeria, he is the co-chairman with southern of sokoto the president of traditional rulers in Nigeria. get your fact straight. not even the vice chairman, but co-chairman, they are on the same level

kcnwaigbo:

Smh at your gross stupidity!!! A simple Wikipedia page on the obi of Onitsha would have educated you. Don't tell me you still believe that crap that oduduwa descended from heaven

U lack insight of history. Alaafin is the most powerful king in Yoruba land. Get your facts right!

Delusions of grandeur, as expected.
