I keep asking what gelegele mean in bini, dey dont always answer

Rett0:


The Oba is a central power in Edo State. There are Enogies and Chiefs but no other king in Edo state. Allowing the crowning of another king is a threat to the Kingdom. I think the VP holding meetings with stakeholders of Benin regarding Gelegele in the absence of the Ijaws there caused all these.
Dialogue still remains the key.

spartacus11:

Oga

Edo south is 100% benin,

Edo Central is 100% Esan and

Edo north is where you have different tribes

Ijaw is not from Edo south and can never be

Ijaw are settlers

nengibo:

You are just an Ignorant obori, go and read the statement by the edo state government, b4 bring dis ur yoruba man logic into this

ernieboy:

who told u? the fact that they were allowed to settle there years ago does not make it theirs. for example there are so many hamlets in various Benin villages where non indgenes like the urhobos were allowed to settle, does that mean the land now belongs to them?

nengibo:

When did they settle & conquer bini people and name their land under the watch of ur spartacus oba, I need time frame

Can't you answer a simple question?

If Gelegele is under Bini authority, please tell me which Bini person can point to the place as his/ her ancestral home?

What does Gelegele mean in Bini language?

Edoloaded:


First contact with any European was made by Oba Ewuare the Great{About 1440AD-1473AD} when Ruy De Sequeira visited Benin City in 1472.The Portuguese came via the Atlantic Ocean and they finally landed in Gele Gele Sea Port in Benin Nation.The Gele Gele Sea Port was from then onward used predominantly for their legitimate trade with Benin Nation.It is also record that slaves

(illegitimate trade) were also conveyed from the region via the Gele Gele Sea Port to Europe. Factually the Portuguese and British Government used the Gele Gele Sea Port extensively for more than half a century before the 1897 infamous British punitive expedition. This historic Sea Port site is today part of Benin kingdom historical sites.

ernieboy:

the original name of that place is ughoton. just like I told u about various farming hamlets the people who settle there sometimes give it a name in their language but in Benin we generally just call camps or hamlets (agor).

Nowenuse:


Edo south is not 100% bini, what about the Ika speaking communities of Igbanke, Iru e.t.c?

Edo central is not 100% Ishan because there are Igala speaking communities in Ilushi (around Ubiaja).

FisifunKododada:
Please don't drag Yoruba into your Ijaw-Benin fracas. Settle yourselves by yourselves. E no concern us. And laudate is a cool nigga but he ain't Yoruba. Stop labeling people wrongly.

ernieboy:

Benin land grabbers? are u aware there is an existing supreme court judgement that dates back to about 2 decades ago which was won by the binis?

ernieboy:

stop talking nonsense,

will you accept if the Binis crown one of their own as Oba of onitsha in Anambra state ?

Godjone:
WHAT IS THEIR OFFENCE NOW

OBA DEY DO HIN OWN, THEM TOO DEY DO THEIR OWN. WE SHOULD LEARN TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE I REMEMBERED IN THAT SAME BENIN TOWARDS THE UWELU AXIS WHERE IGBOS NORMALLY SELL MOTO PARTS, THEY USE TO HAVE A CHIEF CALLED EZE IGBO AND THE HAUSAS ARROUND ERRIEN UPPER SAKPONBA Axis also have their chief SARKIN HAUSAWA.

U no go understand
Me Dön pray tire for defence the Christian way but seems the people wey dey disturb na strong women. One na confirmed witch the other worships mammy water. And they don't rest. I need good protection against them

Tamakay:









You are a disgrace to d Ijaw nation. When you don't know your right from your left. Because other Ijaw communities are paying homage to the Oba so therefore Gelegele should pay such homages? The Gelegele community is not that timid like the community you descended from.
Like you said Myth. myth is myth, reality is reality. The land is reddish in nature therefore it is people's blood that makes it red? What about my village red soul? Is it Bini people's blood? Is this type of myopic and illiteracy your people produce that is why your community is still paying homage up till now#Ayebe.

Like I said, the Ijaws have what it takes to contain the Binis in all ramifications.

GodDeyCraze:





Obaseki will intervene, just watch how your Pere Of Olodiama Kingdom would be arrested and handcuffed like a criminal then put in jail.

It's like you want us to give you Ijaw people quick notice from that community. Make una back off

dude be careful what u wish for. what u think u can try in other places u do not dare it in benin. benin is a place were the line between myth\ reality\fiction is blurred. why do you think people maintain when oba talks, abi u think its only respect. yes respect will always be there but with the average benin respect does not go far. no what is the main case is fear. ask people about what happened at udo, about whose spirit still awaits under the lake waiting for a call and how it happened it the mid 2000s.ask about how fear does not allow you go around oba market as from around 7pm until recently, ask about what happened at evotubu area around 2008. ask about ikpoba river/ bridge. you are just saying what you are saying because you do not reside in benin or have no taken time to study them. ask about the role of the esogban . if not for Christianity as I posted earlier and education your ijaw guys would have seen what they are looking for, ask about wat Benin do to foreigners who come to claim their land. FYI an area around upper ekenwan/asoro is still believed by many as benin underworld so if you dare go there and call any of your lost loved ones but be careful they might drag you to the other side. pls I am begging you if you can cash the check you mouth I dare u to go therr

nengibo:

Stop issuing threats, nobody is under your Oba of Benin apart from the bini ppl, The Ijaws are peace loving people but will not hesitate to protect our God given land and resources from our enemies, instead of bini ppl to work to unite Niger delta dey want to join the hausa-fulani dominated government to fight their brother, slap yourself for me

Dsov2016:


stfu you up jumped land grabber.
1. gele-gele is not any ijaw God given land pls go and do research. its name is even a benin phrase gele- gele (literally true true)
2. you are really a funny individual when Jonathan was president you and urs did not realise that Nigeria was Hausa Fulani dominated(it is because of this mentality that I have said that Africa is not ripe for Democracy)
3. benin has always defended the unity of Nigeria and its independence of foreign masters. just scroll thru ur history and u will see what prominent benin sons have done for this country's unity
4. about benin uniting Niger delta go back and look at how benin even though was under acn voted for Jonathan

Edoloaded:
The ijaws here are wasting their time really instead of typing rubbish why not go and collect the land yourselves and watch what will befall you all and your lineage no need to dey bark all I can say is you guys should do your worst let's see who is going to loose at the end
