It's a matter of Benin people versus Ijaw in Edo state... There is tension in Edo state over the coronation of Godwin Oguyenbo, as the Pere of Olodiama Kingdom in Edo state. According to reports, the Benin people are saying that they have only one monarch in Edo South senatorial district, that is the Oba of Benin. According to them, the title Pere of Olodiama Kingdom does not exist because Gelegele is under the over-lordship of the Oba of Benin and there cannot be two monarchs in Benin.

Meanwhile, the Edo State Government and the Benin Traditional Council, BTC, have described as abominable and sacrilegious, the coronation of Pere of Olodiama Kingdom, an Ijaw community in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State, asserting that the entire Edo South senatorial district is an enclave of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, and no other person.

According to press release by Edo government, governor Godwin Obaseki has ordered the arrest and investigation of all those involved in the coronation, declaring that it was another attempt to cause crisis in the state, which according to him, will be resisted.

According to Benin people, the Ijaws in Gelegele are free to live in the area just as other ethnic groups that live in that axis. Any attempt to lay claim to non-existent title and community or village under any guise would be totally resisted.

stop talking nonsense,

will you accept if the Binis crown one of their own as Oba of onitsha in Anambra state ?

Every people is governed by their son..except for the conquered slaves.

Their business

Can't they choose who to be their king.

I typical Ijaw man is troublesome, don't ask me why

Funny, I was there about late last year, that place heavy sha make I no lie. I happened to walk into a market of theirs where they sold ritual stuffs and items, name it, I saw it all except human body sha. There was this tree at the center of the market tha had all sort of things placed at the bottom. It was my first time of seeing cowries.

Benin people no dey play I swear...

I still dont understand what's going on.

But those Ijaws are from Edo state and are not Bini people, so why does Bini people want to put them under their jurisdiction?

Ewwww

Oba of Benin should let them express their traditional right instead of practicing enslavement in this jet age. I don't even know what is wrong with this present government called APC If the ijaw propose king happens to be a retired military general will he dare try stopping him. Nonsense

Are they still on this issue? They should upgrade jor. How can you be fighting over titles. What's the business of the Bini with Ijaw people and their titles?

E don red ooo
