Unfortunately, it is what it is. The oba is right, even if it's not the truth we want to hear

The Oba is wrong! Don't be afraid to speak the plain truth.

Don't insult a Holy God by insinuating that he would endorse shady characters into top leadership positions.

That's an insensitive and offensive thing to say to citizens who hold religion and traditions in high esteem.

I have no problem with what he said but only have issue with him bringing God to it.

It makes the people not to question certain things. He shouldn't use the name of God in vain

Oya,insult the king...Mr Okoro

its So Shameful & Disappointing That a Suppposed 1st Clas king Will Be So Insensitive & irresponsible to Make Sure An Unguarded Utterance,
When Nigeria Has Become The
Hell The Bible Talked About.

This king is not just like his father. This one can't stay one place, always in bed with politicians. I'm ashamed as an Edo man

Long live the Oba

This comment coming from someone that thinks "heaven na scam"

Heaven is a big scam! Jesus Christ is make believe.

However, the almighty God created the universe!

Guyman talk well oo abi u nor nor say we and the the West get blood Relative including Lagos State...

This was what the Yoruba used to think and believed.

Since 2015 and the last election shattered it so bad that in Yorubaland now, the Yoruba no longer give that special affection and bias in favour of Edo and Delta again.

The Yoruba equally realized that they really can do without the agelong political alliance with old Bendel political and cultural alliance. Most Young Yoruba just group them along with others, they do not even know that the Edo and Itsekiri are our blood. Imagine old Bendel going against Action Group. Pa Awo must be turning in his grave watching what played out last election.

Honestly, the era of that blood ties seem gone. It may take several election cycles to restore it.
It's unfortunate but that's the reality now.

I recall that the current Oonirisa said in 2015 that any group behaving like the Bini, with its root from Ife, that is revising their history and cutting off their link to the Yoruba is free to do so but when they do so the Yoruba will not look back. That prophecy by the Ooni of Ife is coming to .

Today, HE Sanwo-Olu treated the Oba of Benin as an outsider and guest who came all the way from Benin to receive tutorials on Yoruba culture. Smh

That's what Oonirisa meant in 2015. They will come back but it may be too late. They came back but it's too late as they are now seen as outsiders. The Benin royalty is Yoruba and today, the same Head of the Yoruba descendant-Benin royalty is receiving lectures in Yoruba history after the one same Oba of Benin received in Ile Ife immediately after his coronation.

The Oba of Benin will really need to move around a lot and do a lot of work if he wants his place back in Yorubaland.

That museum project of the Oba should be a global Yoruba project to help him instead of making it a small Bini project. At best, he makes it a Yoruba-Benin project to help him revive the Yoruba link of the Edo people so that the Yoruba can help him achieve his goal. Right now, the Yoruba don't even care.

The Yoruba now call and see Edo as outsiders. What Oba is seeing there as the Yoruba Culture centre is the brain work and product of the Yoruba, we can help him too if he offers to use his museum project to project his Yoruba link

Oya Obidient both ipob and Edo chapel come and drag Oba of Benin as usual,awon were gbogbo

Some of you just write sweet English, but you are not intelligent. If your holy God didnt want tinubu to be president, there is no way tinubu would have been able to ascend that throne and still going strong. He was destined to rule Nigeria and it is what it is. You are not anywhere near the intelligence or powers that the oba of benin possesses that gives you the right to insult his personality because he ed his opinion. If they arrest you and bring you in front of the oba to repeat those words, you will start crying and blaming the devil. Be careful, young boy, and count your teeth properly with your tongues before challenging a masquerade to a fight

What are you saying? Very incoherent.

Guyy, nah to insult Oba remain ?

Oba wey no send you. Dey play.. e don go collect him share you dey here dey Zuzu

When a man says PBAT is a "druggie, criminal, evil, devil reincarnate..." Etc it's within their purview to express those views about him therefore, such persons shouldn't be denigrated.

Likewise, when someone says PBAT is the best thing to happen to them or that his presidency is "God ordained", they should also be allowed to express their views as they deem fit without being called all manner of unprintable names; it's this same attitude of maligning anyone who chooses/chose to PBAT or speak in favour of him that contributed to the failure of those that contended for the Presidency against him especially that serial defector.

And if they keep it up, they'll still be here to insult/curse their opponents in 2027 after the incumbent would've won reelection.

In summary, live and let live.

Most of you just get agitated over nothing. The Oba, as a traditional ruler, will any government of the day. He would have said the same if it was Atiku or Obi that won the election. Some of you need to work on your emotional intelligence.

The guy whom you are replying said Edo people and the yorubas have common relatives, he didn't say we were relatives !
It is strange that what he said was enough for you to spill out your usual Yoruba tribal propaganda. Edo people are not Yoruba and not from Ife. The Oba of Benin is not Yoruba, (he doesn't come from Ife neither) and he didn't go to Lagos for "tutorship" on Yoruba culture. Lagos is and has always been part of Benin empire, and ruled by a vassal of the Oba of Benin.

Below is an 18th century map from Emanuel Bowen.

Please read the post you responded to. I stated clearly that it is the Bini royalty, not the Bini proletariat. No Bini proletariat has a reason to go to Ile Ife let alone throw up any link with the Yoruba because the Yoruba don't care. The Yorubas relationship with Bini begins and ends with the Bini royalty, if you are not from the Bini royalty, you are not related to the Yoruba.

Edo and Bini are connected by the Yoruba-descendant royalty of the Bini and that's all. The Itsekiri are true blood Yoruba and language is still closely related.

Thank God Obi didn't win, the Igbos do not deserve to have a person from their tribe become president.
Igbo manufactured hate speech is not getting Igbo any friends nor any votes.

Tinubu's presidency was ordained by God.
The Igbo bastards who dare to insult the emperor of Benin empire for ... Basically congratulating Tinubu...you people have mental problems. Solve your mental problems within your family and don't disturb us Edo people with your madness.

I used to hold the Oba of Benin in high esteem.

Are you blind ? I clearly wrote that the Oba of Benin didn't come from Ife.
For your information. The word Edo comes from the word Edda which was the first name written down for the capital of Benin empire, the capital was later called Benin city (you probably don't even know that Benin city is only the capital of the Kingdom and not the entire kingdom/empire). And Edo is used by Benin speaking people to designate both our language and the people of the empire.
You don't even know your own history, yet you are saying your ignorant yoruba-propaganda about my people.

Like the ignoramus you are, you don't know that historically Edo ( Edda) is the name of Benin city, while Benin is the name of Benin empire. Your ignorance made you think Edo comes from Edo-state (name created in the 1990's). If you still don't get it: Edo is part of Benin, not the reverse ! And even by the Precolonial maps of Africa, you can see that the land mass of Edo-state is part of Precolonial Benin.

Useless obedients won't like this at all ..... Them no Wan hear say anybody tinubu......
Useless urchins... E dey sweet me say una go wail until the next 8 years and even then.... Obi still won't win even if he contest

But why this tribe is like dis? Nobody they can't insult

Never mind again since you have resorted to insults and failed to know that I never stated that any Oba of Benin came from Ile Ife. The one who all Oba of Benin descended from is Oranmiyan and he is a Yoruba from Ile Ife. He was the first Alaafin of Oyo. If you are not a Bini royalty, you are not any way related to the Yoruba and the Yoruba don't even care now.

If you like, claim that you're from Isreal, the Yoruba don't care anymore and have moved on to group the Bini and Edo together with other non-Yoruba southerners.

I will never respond to your insolent remarks again.

Have sense abeg... I never said anything against Tinubu's presidency.

I simply stated the insincerity and downright stupidity of dragging God's name into it.

It's common sense... You and the Oba can be obsequious without resorting to blasphemy.

YorubaDemonswag:

Yeah... I understand that you value corrupt leaders than your deities.

Just be sycophantic without being blasphemous.

Life is that simple.

To each his relationship with God. God doesn't belong to religious fanatics like you. For your information, that is how kings talk: "Tinubu's presidency was ordained by God".
And it is in no way a blasphemy. Now, walk away.
Don't confuse your personal ethnic problem agzinst Tinubu with everybody's problem, including God's and the Oba's.

I saw that presentation to the Oba of Benin on the statue of a Yoruba king. Ooni Aderemi, Oba Akenzua II, and Oba Erediauwa will be turning in their graves. Anyway, no bleeps to given..
