pazienza:


Igbanke land is Igbanke ancestral land, it was never given to them by Bini.

this is where you are wrong when you talk about ancestral land hope you don't mean 50-100 years occupation, esan, etsako those are people who have ancestral land, the local govt they occupy is one of the ancient towns in Benin, I don't know much about the present issue on ground but to say igbanke land is ancestral means you know little about the issue on ground.

You don't even know that the Yoruba of Ilorin had reconquered it before the British arrived and that it was Yoruba Balogun Alanamu who was the Ruler of Ilorin after the Emir had been defeated and deposed.

You don't know the History it it


Azikiwe played a major role in making sure Kwara was carved into the North

When was Southern and northern protectorate created?
Give date and let's see how Zik played a significant role in it.

Shattuck:
he does not have constitutional power, doesn't mean he doesn't have his constitutional territory and as a custodian of the Benin heritage, I am sure the obi of onitsha has an area he rules over or that his kingdom extends to, even though he does not have constitutional power, can I and my tribes people now relocate to onitsha in thousands and settle there and then create our own kingdom in onitsha and then rename onitsha and when the obi complains I then say because he doesn't have constitutional power, that shouldn't be an issue.

He is the custodian of Bini heritage, but he has no istrative power to suspend or remove any chief in another town. It is only the local government officer that can do that.

he has the power to do just that, even traditional titled chiefs.

before the arrival of the British, the land belong to the Benins. The Benins only let their slaves to settle on the land. The Oba of Benin has not overstep his boundary.

Like I said, Bini monarch and his entire history came to bini from somewhere and met those people in their land.
So if anyone is to leave it's the Oba and his Ancestors that should return to ife or wherever they came from

Shattuck:

No he doesn't bruv. Check the constitution l, his role is more of ceremonial. Go and read the constitution again.

oyichi:
The bini or ubini people as it is supposed to be called brought a lot of slaves from abor slave market during the Era of slavery but when slavery was abolished, many where dumped in some certain areas within that region, so if igbanke people say that they are ibos, they may be right but that does not mean that they own the land they are staying, if you want to history, make sure you do it in full. Slaves don't act as king in bini kingdom, that we let everything go does not mean you should take advantage of it

hidden history plenty o

You are talking nonsense.
Igbanke are in their ancestral land.
You better mind yourselves.
Your Oba will not be spared if you continue this provocative expansionist action in 2025.

Let Igbanke people be, they are not in your Bini land, they are just sharing a state with you by virtue of state land demarcation.

he does have the power to suspend traditional rulers within his domain, he has the enigies, and other titles such titles were not given by the state govt or the federal govt but by the palace, the popular esama of Benin kingdom at one time was suspended by the palace.

MrDoGood:


I don't need to respond to you anymore because it's a waste of time. You can conclude whatever you like, it has no effect or impact. Enjoy your rant.

So because Abuja I the FCT that means we are to bow down and be subjects to the king of gwari?

He finished you with that simple question, just see the speed you're using to run away

But the igbanke are not within his jurisdiction and so he has no right to do that to them. He is simply over reaching his bounds.

this is the centre of the conflict, the palace thinks otherwise.

With common sense, you should have seen that his question was dumb. People from another state living in Abuja, is Abuja their state of origin? It's like saying you're from Anambra, but do not recognise Obi of Onitsha because you're claiming to be from Oyo State. And you're a king/traditional head in the same Anambra State. And you put Anambra as your state of origin whenever you're filling out a form. Are you not dumb like this?

Where's the finishing in his statement? It's best to let a fool be than argue with one.

Shattuck:

That is because there has always been a misinterpretation of the constitution.

By now Ohaneze youth branch should be tendering unreserved apologies to the Oba but ignorance and pride won't allow them.....Lies are shortlived.

If them tell you say Igbankes & Ikas are Easterners una go just believe...hmmm

Una no dey South, aboriginals are NOT you guys.

Anyway, I don't blame their youths, I noticed even the elderly ones don't know history too..... You can't give what you don't have.

Before the British the oba and his entire generation came from a foreign land with that strong idol or masquerade the oba puts on

Bendeco02:


Oba of Benin have to threat with caution and not to allow himself be used politically.

Igbanke is under a seperate tribe on it's own and not under his kingdom.

If he shows his strength to Igbanke because he sees them as minority then he is making mistake because if they team up with Ika sub tribe, i doubt if Benin are more than Anioma alone.

When we talk about Anioma, Onitsha in Anambra with Ogbaru, Oguta in Imo and Ndoni in Rivers are among. Benin are not more than Eze Chima clan if we are to settle the matter by gra gra

I respect Edo people as a whole, they are good people. But this Benin throne supremacy mentality in this centuary makes no sense. If we are allowed to fight and take over territory by conquest, he stand no chance. I wonder what is giving him pride.

Please ANIOMA is an acronym and thy don't include OGUTA or ONITSHA please ...Anioma starts and ends in Delta North please
