Hausas call onion albasa and edo people call it same, it presupposes edo people are of hausa using your theorem.

You know I didn’t know Obaseki was fighting the Oba of Benin until I met a man from Edo about a week ago.

The man is from Edo North, I think Etsako, but he told me the Oba will not support whoever Obaseki presents because of the squabble between them; to the extent some Benin sons used to come from abroad to attend the court sitting of the case Obaseki has with the Oba in court.

Now, it seems the Oba has tacitly chosen Akpata as his own candidate. And should the Benin people of Edo South give him bloc vote, Akpata would have one leg in the government house.

I wonder why Obaseki would fight the Oba. And this man from Edo told me that Obaseki’s ancestor was behind the banishment of the Oba of Benin during the Colonial era I guess. He said the current Oba was against Obaseki’s candidacy when Oshiomole presented him to the Oba but Oshiomole assured the Oba that Obaseki would not be like his fathers but it seems Oshiomole was wrong.

Things seem to be aligning for Akpata.

mastermaestro:


LP is NOT in this governorship race. Useless party that refused to allign with the political mood of the state. It is the turn of Edo Central, simple. But the useless party decided to sell their golden opportunity to a political nonentity. After elections, you guys will start crying as usual.

IfnobeGod20:

Please what is bad about that grammar? The grassroots is correct in that context.

airsaylongcome:


Which ancestor? Mention a name? "One of Obaseki's ancestors" is too vague. Can you categorically say one of your ancestors was not involved in slave trade? Does that make you culpable of slave trade?

You are talking about Arabic names used by Muslims world over.

No, they are not Hausa names

treatise:

Benin people have a relationship or history with Arabs judging by your submission. BTW albasa is an Hausa term.

Penguin2:
Anyone who’s a keen political follower, watcher and analyst in Nigeria, would agree that the Oba accepting to attend this project inauguration in person in this election period simply echoes endorsement.

The Edo governorship election is getting more and more interesting and unpredictable every day.

The road to Osadabey Avenue might be as smooth for Asue Ighodalo as we previously thought.



Olumide Akpata

Iamgrey5:
Are we talking of names things or people's family name?

And yes Hausa has relationship with Arab through Quran like every Muslim in the world

You go school so

Olachase:
Buh me I don't understand hooo
Wetin carry Yoruba enter benin
Wetin carry Benin enter Yoruba
When we can't even hear eachother language,

Let's agree 40% Benin can speak and hear Yoruba due to the fact that Yoruba is an (official language) but I am not sure there's 100% pure blood Yoruba that can speak Benin, is there something I am not understanding

They even told us Benin no be Lagos

Sapasenator:


"Is the newly elected president of Senegal a grassroot politician"

"Does" cannot used that grammatical context.

I am sorry if I come across as condescending, It was never my intentions.

One love.

Penguin2:

His name was Oba Ovonranmwen Nogbaisi.

He was exiled in 1897 to Calabar.

Details of what led to his being exiled shows that the ancestor of Obaseki was the one that betrayed the Oba and the kingdom then.

The Ancestor of Obaseki that betrayed the Oba was Agho Obaseki and the British made him the Prime Minister of Benin Kingdom after Oba Ovonramwen was exiled.

Ask questions if you are from Benin. And if you are not from Benin, then you shouldn’t be arguing with me.

payaseriy you will never go free. Uhundan nokhua that's what you drunk urhobos are..thank God we kicked you people out of the great benin kingdom:
y this tribalism sef ?

aswani:


I will quote you now, LP will not get up to 1% of votes in this oncoming election.

IfnobeGod20:

My brother, you cannot say "grassroot politicians" but 'grassroots politicians'.

AfonjaConehead:

Of course they won't get 1% and that's cos the country is full of frustrated hopeless bunch of people who are only good at tribalism and hatred...that's why you are still where you are ....the likes of your dearly beloved darling daddy Buhari shall rule you and your generation forever

aswani:


I am talking about the oncoming gubernatorial elections in Edo state in a few months time.

Bubu is not my daddy, neither is President Tinubu or Atiku or Peter Obi for that matter.

We want new blood in Nigerian politics, not recycled old cargoes.

treatise:

The name APATA was your basis of making benin people Yoruba "migrants". Ethnicists are usually asked the question if they're educated.

AfonjaConehead:

Lahor wowo,take your evil far away from Edo state.

Buhari bless you and your generation

Truths9ja:
Obaseki never banish Oba of Benin in Edo State. The governor and the paramount ruler are much friends. The guy is Lp members, so he will always told you lied and propaganda against obaseki and his government in order to market Olumide Akpata of Lp to Edo people. You should be wise in understanding Edo State politics and its grassroots level now. Olumide Akpata isn’t a grassroots politician. You will see the results of the poll

Iamgrey5:
Did I ever say that Benin are Yoruba immigrants?

Isn't fascinating that a person is having an indigenous name that can't be interpreted in his own language?

airsaylongcome:


Where does it say, categorically, that Agho Obaseki was THE one that betrayed Ọba Ovonramwen? I've read the two Wikipedia materials you referenced. And even though Wikipedia is not a place of reliable reference, neither of them said that Agho Obaseki betrayed Ọba Ovonramwen

Na Yoruba names full Here.

That is right, I am looking for trouble.
