hammerDK: I am not in support of Benin Republics joining Nigeria. The minister of Foreign affairs is just creating distractions. This request was made to Buhari in 2015 immediately after he won the election before he was sworn in as president. Benin is very poor. They want assistance from Nigeria. The North will never allow them to join Nigeria because of fear of South West. |

geemd434: Only about 20% of their population are ethnic Yoruba but almost half of the population speak Yoruba in addition to Fon and Ewe Languages. The reasons are 1) Porto Novo ,the National Capital is a Yoruba Town 2) Cotonou, the largest and commercial City is very close to Lagos and most people there speak Yoruba as a language of business and entertainment. Yoruba music and Yoruba Nollywood are the mainstream entertainment in Cotonou. 3) A Yoruba guy from Lagos or Ogun State doesn't need interpreters to communicate freely in most Cotonou and Port Novo. 4 Likes |

GeneralPula:When I went to Cotonou in 1999, I didn't even speak any French, I was just speaking my Yoruba language and they understood me well (though they have a funny Yoruba accent and some speak dialects of Yoruba that resemble that spoken in some remote parts of Oyo State) |

EzzyCarter: The president knew what he was saying. Benin republic's population is about 70% Yoruba. There is nothing wrong if they desire to merge with their kit and kin in southwest Nigeria. If Nigeria splits at the end of the day, they will move on with south west. We want to identity with our kit and kin from Benin Rather than economic refugees who are nothing but enemies at the door. 1 Like |

jaxxy: the criminals will be arrested. Nigeria is not united yet achieves a lot of things.. NDDC is an organisation that consists of different ethnic nations and its led by different ethnic nations.. If Nigeria separates NDDC will not exist anymore.. anything that consists of more than one ethnic nation will be difficult to manage. don't put words in my mouth NDDC was YOUR OWN EXAMPLE not mine... white people are more greedy and selfish than Africans.. 1 Like |

Why are we taking what the minister said literally? What I deduced from what he said is that Nigeria and Benin should be good neighbors, afterall, Benin is like a 37th state in Nigeria given the amount of Nigerians there and the similarities we share. Not that a sovereign state would want to give up their ‘sovereincy’ to another state. For what na? France sef no go gree make that one happen. My humble submission 3 Likes 1 Share |
