It is this same behaviour that has made South Africans despise Nigerians, erroneously thinking we all behave so boorish.””This Oba you insult as not wearing (I cannot even bring myself to say the words) has carvings and statues from almost a thousand years ago showing his ancestors fully clothed. Were the ancestors of those insulting him clothed even one hundred years ago?”Please do curtail your words and behaviour. And if the Bini people and their monarch are so hateful to you, then, by all means, avoid them. But to go on record with such vile words is very provocative.”I watched that clip, and you can identify specific individuals by their user names and display photos. What is the Edo state government waiting for? Prosecute them. Or they will do it again.””Sorry for them (the insulters) because they don’t know what they are doing. Temper justice with mercy your royal majesty.””They Recruit Northerners is not working. They Recruit Delta people is not working.”They Recruit Ikwere People is not working. The Recruit South Africa they still fail.”Now Benin Election is coming. They have started with propaganda and Lies with Igbo names.They will still fail”Read more on Oba of Benin
