They think asari dokunbo meant he is going to come with military when he said edo is the next battle groundโฆ, theyโre about to make แบธdo people political handicap and แบธdo people are giving them room for it.

When Omo started Playing golf, that your inexperienced boy King in iwere has not dreamt of being King.
The Oba does what a god-king does and others copy him.

Why is it so impossible for you to mind your opinion on edo south and focus on Edo central which is currently on lock down for APC, but yโall always want to put on your thinking cap and become political analysts when it comes to issues in edo south.
Itโs never ever heard of Edo southerners or benin people prying into the local politics in Edo central, the very day Edo southerners start involving themselves in Edo central politics you begin to hear - Them be expansionist, Them think say na benin empire we Dey, them dae too proud โ and quickly forget the time you posed as political intellects on Edo south political interest.
Edo central is currently on more APC jeopardy focus on how to educate your people to vote for obi, leave edo south persons who have their own decision to make their decision themselves..
Okpebholo is bad, Okpebholo is bad but you guys voted him as your senator, the political intelligence failed yโall then or was it because you were too focus on edo south politics and forgot edo central existโฆ leave edo south politics alone..

The majority of NDC candidates in Edo State are Ijaw and Igbo, with no representation from Edo natives. In the end, politics is tribal. Don't let individuals who are unable to fix their shithole states deceive you into supporting them in your own State. Edo State for Edo people.
Adaze Velvet retweeted
Almost every candidate that won the NDC primaries in Edo State is either Ijaw or Igbo, while Edo indigenes have been overlooked. I just can't see any reasonable Edo person choosing to sell their state to outsiders; it's a no for NDC in Edo State. It's wiser to support Edo APC.

HRM, Oba Ewuare II yesterday at the BCGS alongside his brother and Former Edo Deputy Governor, @HonPhilipShaibu
Obaghatokpere, iseee!!!
So you will rather empower NDC at the federal so that in 4yrs, they can have the means to rig themselves into power in Edo state with the federal might.
Edo youths needs some political wisdom otherwise these children will learn more he hard way.
That time the chief priest of Ife was still polishing the shrine of ifa as assigned to him by Oduduwa
Benin Empire existed as a conglomerate of many kingdoms.
The Olu of Warri, who is frequently referred to as Ogiamแบน, meaning King of the waters in the แบธdo language, was in charge of looking after the waterfronts, which included the Benin River for the Benin Empire.
The Benin did not impose their language on others; that is the reason why these kingdoms seem more independent than they historically were.

She is a great achiever.
She is an Edo woman.
She earned those awards through hard work: the labour of her own hands, then one bigot will now open his gutter mouth to cast aspersions on Edo women for being landladies in their own land
