PLEASE, What is Nigeria turning into? Intolerance everywhere. It is the type of nation you get when everyone from the President to the street sweeper sees the country only through the lens of ethnic bigotry. Nigeria needs inspiring and detribalized leaders. |

OreMI22:There is nothing like Nigeria. Its a conglomarate of British experimental slave dungeon. Can you in all honesty ever be proud of Nigeria? |
Re: Anti Ijaw Protest Going On In Benin!! by Dsov2016: 2:39pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
OreMI22: Then please proffer a solution. I believe we as a country missed the opportunity to stop ethnocentrism between the 40s and independence. what we needed at that point was a brutal acculturation ie destroying any and every shred of culture and creating a new singular one from the ashes of the old several ones similar to what sir ahmadu bello did in the northern region by making Hausa the lingual franca of the defunct region. The way that I see it, to stop intolerance in the country you need some major factors in place 1 . respect ie each and every tribe respects each other . few years back I would have said we are getting there but with nmadi kanu and others I would say we are decades from there 2 removal of the political class (elites). the fight for Nigerian independence was not as united as you think. in fact it was those who fought for independence then that fostered this problems. because of their ambitions they set tribe against tribe, people who had centuries of respect for each other notwithstanding their enmities and grudges suddenly the most brutal of enemies because of ego. i blame the founding fathers because now that they have become heroes and legends people are now more than ever blind to their flaws. 3. language in Nigeria we do not really have that clear unifying event that has brought us together(though we do have some like our shared hatred of politicians,epileptic power supply, lack of amenities,even shared grief) like an external war, deadly mass affecting epidemic, wide spread natural disasters what we have had instead was a polarizing ethnocentric conflict(the civil war) which has continued to leave a scar on our national unity. What we do have causing more scars is language. We have over 400 different languages in Nigeria and its another invisible dividing line in this country. what we all need to do is to either accept pidgin as our common language but with enough modification that it is different from English sort of like hinglish of India or torglish of the phillipines or create a new artificial language like Klingon. but the problem is that it would take decades before such a language would take even 50% population proficiency . While this new languages are taking roots we slowly let the other languages die a natural death, with our new national language, with proper encouragement and enticement from the government I give it 20 yes before the only language spoken will be the national language especially if its the pidgin route you go. another thing is to stop the creation of more traditional kingdoms where there were none in fact I would say we should rather centralise existing traditional stools. this will stop communal crisis. I can write on and on but what I believe is that as long as these factors are not in place( note that there are others and some are quite controversial in present day nigeria there will not be tolerance and unity and even should break up occur the game of one upmanship will continue. its one of the reasons why nigeria has not gone far in the committee of nations. when we rise above our so called place its so easy for outside forces to oppress and demoralizing us by knocking the different tribes head against each other. its the same method politicians game to win against us |

nengibo: The fact that Barrister Keji Agboola Ajayi was made the deputy governor of Ondo does not denied the fact the Ijaws are settlers in that area. The Ilaje & the Ijaws have fought over ownership of the riverine areas in the time past. The Ijaws met Ilaje in that area. I remembered Ijaws has taken Lagos State government to court for demolition of one of their settlement in Lagos. In the ESE - ODO area, Yoruba magnanimity & open heart come to play here. The Ajayi family where the Deputy governor comes from in Apoi area must have strong link with Yoruba because that is a traditional Yoruba family name. I am not sure if he is an Ijaw man. Having said this, the Binis like to live in fools Paradise. Falsification of history to suite themselves in this century, still living on past lost glory and afraid of the future of their Oba status. Oba Akiolu is their co - traveler. |

I seriously beg Omo n'Oba n'Edo to give the order, let us boot these fvckers out. We are fed up of these bastards, we offer them peace they take advantage of it and attack our people and insult us. Please Omo n'Oba n'Edo, give us the marching orders. Let lose the hounds of hell. Let lose the hounds of hell. |

"pain of defeat" So now you call armed soldiers overruning unarmed civilians a "defeat" ? I guess the nigerian army was then right to celebrate its "defeat" of ipob then. Idiot. Alexus23: |

I am partly igbo like many Edos, if you take a look at Oba Ovonramwen's palace then you will notice that some of his closest officials were igbo, including my ancestor: Chief Agho Obaseki. Noccerino: |

Edo, don't let the ijaw fvckers decieve you, as a matter of fact if you are not educated enough then make sure you either keep quiet or you research what you want to post in order to make sure you are not making any historical or logical mistake. Now who is this foolish Edo talking about letting noertherners or yoruba to come and fight for us. And who is this idiot who is saying: "oh remember what we did to igbi soldiers" ? What the fvck is wrong with you guys, are you just as daft as the ijaw ? Is it the igbos whom are trying to invade us or the ijaw. You idiots. And what in hell would you need yoruba or northerners for ? Are you that daft ? You are letting these fvckers draw a wedge between you and your brothers: all other Edos who populate Edo state, the delta region and parts of the south east and the south-west. And for Jesus's sake stop referring to yourself with the name they are calling you with ! Benin City is not a tribe, it is a city. The capital of Benin Kingdom, many of you are fromesan land or other parts of the kingdom, like in every country people tend to move around and a lot of the people tend to settle in the capital. The Oba of Benin does not belong to Benin City, he is Omo n'Oba n'Edo, he belongs to all the Edos, he is our king ! We are not many peoples, we are not many tribes, we are just one people: EDO ! A lot of you guys commenting are too dumb to talk, so just shut the fvck up. And I mean every people here. Igbo, Edo, Yoruba, and especially the bastard lying ijaw. |

Re: Anti Ijaw Protest Going On In Benin!! by Nobody: 8:47pm On Dec 01, 2017 |
Yes we do, and it seems to me that the uncle of the current Oba already stated this before the election. This is common knowledge because that side of my familly is famous. As a matter of fact the Benin Kingdom was never a mono-tribe thing. The Obaseki are Edo to the core, before the british came, all of the Delta was part of the Benin Kingdom and the grand father of Chief Agho Obaseki was an Obi (in the Delta) who was a very loyal lieutenant to the Oba of Benin and who sent Chief Agho Obaseki's father to the palace of Omo n'Oba n'Edo to serve Omo n'Oba n'Edo. Chief Agho Obaseki grew up in the Benin palace and was besties with Oba Ovonramwen befor our revered Oba Ovonramwen became Oba. They both grew like brothers. Edos are much more related to Igbos than most people know, and yes we are also very related to some people who for some reason or the other are now calling themselves yoruba. They used to be called Edos. babaolofin: 1 Like |

What does ethnicity even mean, just a language, a dialect, that has nothing to do with actual bloodlinks. If a slave returnee was dropped in the south west and learned "yoruba", some idiots would say: his ethnicity is "yoruba". If and Edo move to the east and learnt an igboid language then some other idiots would say: his ethnicity is igbo. What sense does all this make ? Just get yourselves back to school and learn real history rather than continuing with this illiterate way of thinking. Our ancestors couldn't read or write, but I have to admit that they were way smarter than us, colonization has really killed the source of african intelligence which didn't need books to cultivate. You guys are incredibly lost and see yourselves through the eyes of others. 3 Likes |

The one thing every Edo (and everybody who know his ancestors were citizens of the great Benin Kingdom (of which Benin city is only the capital)) should know is that our Oba is one of the last legacies we have from our ancestors. We (all of us together), have to defend our Oba, we have to defend our land and King. The ijaw fvckers have caused enough problems already in the south-south, enough is enough. 1 Like |

I am really getting tired with the constant harassment by the "yoruba", what in this topic has anything to do with "yoruba" ? Also, the "yoruba" folks, can you please explain to me how it is possible to falsify pre-colonial maps of our region which are held in european museums and libraries ? You call me a falsifier while I come with proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IlUMUGUorw Some ancient maps of Benin Kingdom: This one dates to around 1699: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595525w/f1.item.r=Benin.zoom An other map of Benin made in the 17th century once again: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b530530714.r=Benin?rk=214593;2 An other map of Benin from the 17th century: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595583b.r=Benin?rk=193134;0 This one date to the 19th century: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8469390z/f1.item.r=Benin.zoom An other map from the 17th century: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8595527q/f1.item.r=Benin.zoom You "yoruba" all you have is just a story with no proof, actually the proof I provide shows your story to be false. Now what in hell does the current topic have to do with "yoruba" ? The same way you harassed Igbo on topics which concerned only Igbos and had nothing to do with you !
