You ll be a compound fool to think Ooni has a hand in the release of the teargas.


I think he didn't handle the case properly he should have dealt with the person who did that. Now i know you don't have any sense of disciple or you just have a third world way of thinking.
But in a sane community someone is getting fired or arrested. Bross if you want to argue with be at least sane. You came up with an insane statement. I am a huge supporter of the current Ooni and i don't like to see him being dragged around. So you don't like him more than me.

You may be Ooni 's huge supporter, but, more than than, I am his subject. Did the tear gas not affect him too? Do you know that according to tradition, a king must not cough outside? My point is that there is no way His Imperal Magesth will have a hand in the shooting. Its most likely that miscreants who do not like the presence of Sowore at the palace were responsible for the shooting

Why do we encourage mediocrity?
See how the Oba is received because a Prince gave him audience.

It's not even as if he got to sit close to the Prince.


What is the need of sitting close when Ooni was there only for photo-op? The Oba made a demand for repatriation and that dwarfs the rest who didn't know what to do with this all important trip. Wether they return it or not, the Oba will be judged by history as having the balls to make that request.. that was the reason he opted not to sit close to him because HRM, Oba Ewuare wants to be taken seriously!

He learnt the Prince was only visiting Abuja, so he didn't want to seen as a coward by grumbling only about the stolen artefacts and not asking for it, hence he traveled there to ask. Let your Ooni be opening his 32 teeth laughing away the Yoruba race, without demanding reparations for the assault of the British on Lagos, (Akitoye-Dosunmu-Kosoko) feud. Let him laugh away and sit close to the Prince and fail to ask for reparations about the Ijebu wars and others....

The Oba of Benin can never bow down to Saraki...
The Oba of Benin can never collect offering in church
The Oba of Benin's palace can never be teargased
The Oba of Benin can not marry a second hand wife
The Oba of Benin cannot take selfies in a plane
The Oba of Benin is respected by Oba of Lagos
The Oba of Benin cannot have a messy divorce
The Oba of Benin will not go to pentecostal church
The Oba of Benin does not attend kids parties
The Oba of Benin is superior to the Ooni of Ife...

Igbos are slaves and the king of slaves is still a slave.

That is why none of your worthless Kings in your cursed region can ever be reckoned with. At best, he stands at the far back when Kings are taking pictures.

You're a slave from a long lineage of slaves. You have no records of your history and you have no future. All your political leaders you follow are all from outside your region (Atiku, Fayose, Wike, etc)

If you had an iota of commonsense in your flat head, you'll be sitting in a corner, ruing your cursed luck.

I repeat, Igbos are slaves and the king of slaves is still a slave.
Look at this illiterate.

The east didn't need kings. We confronted foreign colonialism as a people, when your kings were offering them red carpets and serving them amala as willing subjects.

We didn't have kings,yet no southern kingdom ever invaded down east. It would be obliterated.

Kingship is not strength. You had kings , and yet you were defeated by women from benin republic.

You that were angry with the colonialists cos they refused to buy fellow Igbos you clowns wanted to sell.

When the colonial authority taxed your grandfathers, what were your worthless fathers doing when the women were protesting?

As at when we were winning wars in Yoruba land, your fathers were still living in tress like monkeys learning how to make human sounds.

Normally I try my best to ignor stupidity but in this case I will make an exception for posterity sake. Now LISTEN CAREFULLY

The oba of benin is far & above the oni of ife. He went to see Prince Charsle for a valid & concrete reason unlike some other kings and if you must compare him with any yoruba kings it should be the Alafin of oyo who is truly thr number one king of the yorubas not the oni who's stool never attained the status of an empire & traditional is just a traditional priest who the british later coined to become a king. If you look closely you will see other kings staff being told to wait behind but the oba of benin's stood at his back firmly portraying the kings supreme authority and also you should be reminded that the kingdom of ife originates from benin. If you want to argue go ask ODUDUWA or any of your truthful Elders. That being said the BENIN EMPIRE in all its regin & glory never imposed its tradition & language on its subjects rather free will & kindness was always the order of the day. All that was needed was for the fallen kingdom in quote must become subservient & pay the require royalty to the CAPITAL & its KING. this mistake made the benin language to be exclusive to the benin people & not the entire empire. This is was diminished the benins after the fall of their empire & of course in todays nigeria, priority is given to major tribes based on their population & the number of states they occupy & as you know it comprises of the fortunate yorubas. This favours the oni much more than the oba. Then again what you are seeing are the first class kings in mordern day Nigeria & they are as well representing their geo political zones of which the oba is from the south south & the oni from the south west. For the avoidance of doubts there is body of NIGERIA TRADITIONAL RULERS & in this body again by the standards I have explained the Sultan of Sokoto & the Oni of Ife are the Co chairmen while the OBA of BENIN is the SECRETARY. All this are facts which can be easily verified if you are willing to know the truth but if you are still confused by their sitting arrangements then I bid you GOODBYE.... & GOOD RADIANCE. ....
Part of the reasons Benin was successful was because it was shielded from a superpower of that era, the Sokoto Caliphate. A kingdom about 30 times the size of Bini empire at its peak! Oyo empire face the full brunt while Bini was invading villages. Can you tell me the biggest war fought by Bini?
Secondly, you're living in the psst. History is a continum. You're shrinking into extinction and you keep comparing yourself with people whose sphere of influence is widening by the day. What influence have you in Lagos you invaded in 1700? Yorubas took it back without a shot! The only thing that can make you relevant in the new world order is that link to the Yorubas, which you're trying to do by distorting history; the tail can never wag the dog. Loose that link and you're gone!

This is preposterous for the reverred monarch of the Bini kingdom to leave his domain to go to the land of the Gbagyi people, a servitude tribe to the reverred Bini empire, just for the purpose of welcoming a foreign prince. Not just a prince but a prince from a kingdom that desecrated the ancient Bini kingdom and exiled Oba Ovaranwen. The real Ewuare the great would not have honoured such invitation, but rather would have asked the crown prince of Bini to welcome such visitor in Uselu.

Please, who can get Obahiagbon to help me here. I need tbis rephrased to make Oba Ewuare to give real honour to the reverred Bini stool.

The airport in Benin city, Edo state, was brought to a temporary standstill as the Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, returned from Abuja where he went to meet the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles. 

The monarch was welcomed by the sons and daughters of the kingdom who gathered in their numbers and waited for him to arrive at the airport. 

Meanwhile, the Oba on Tuesday, asked the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, to lend his voice to the call for the British empire to return all the ancient Benin artefacts that were taken by the British authorities in 1897.

Speaking at the parley the visiting British royal had with royal fathers this evening, the Benin monarch told Prince Charles that the repatriation of the artefacts would enable him establish Oba Palace Museum for the promotion of tourism in his kingdom.

Other traditional rulers that attended the meeting were the Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi; Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar; Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe; Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, and others.

Because, the first son of every departed Oba, who reigns as the Edaiken of Uselu, is groomed from birth on how to act like a King. So he knows not to bow down to the likes of Saraki.

Your Ooni is hand picked by an Oracle, he is not groomed to be a King, he is not a direct descendant of other Kings before him..it's always like an accident of Oracle or Ifa's choice that he becomes a King, that is why he is so overwhelmed by the position and acts small.... sorry, I am.not the cause of your problem grin
