She installed Pastor Josephine Isi Ivbazebule as the Iyeki-General of Edo markets but the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II rejected the move saying that such title was strange and not recognised in the state......
The ceremony held at the Edo State Government House and after that she paid a courtesy visit to the Oba of Benin to present the appointee but Oba Ewuare II rejected the Iyaloja system, stating it is alien to Benin culture.
He said that Benin markets are governed by Iyeki, a traditional female leaders chosen by traders and confirmed by the palace.
The Oba told the iyaloja general that each market in Eod state has its own Iyeki, and there is no concept of a centralized Iyeki-General or Iyaloja-General in Benin.

Well the Oba rejected it but the ceremony had already held so Pastor Josephine Isi Ivbazebule is the Iyeki-General of Edo markets.
Lmao. They think Edo is Lagos.
ReplyDeleteOba with authority!!
But the ceremony still held na, and the lady is still the iyaloja abi u no read am?
DeleteTinubu and his family are preparing for 2027. They need a woman to mobilize market women for them. Iyaloja ooo, Iyeki oo is by the way
DeleteThey want to replicate their method of stealing, coercing and stealing of votes in Edo State.
DeleteFight go soon start. She should have consulted with the Oba before taking this step.
ReplyDeleteShe comes to the North to do this without appropriate consultation and agreement with those in charge,wahala go burst.
Anyway they would sort themselves or won't sort themselves out last last.
In the north we don’t even have that title. So she can’t even come and do it, which ceremony will they do? What will they call it?
DeleteWhen the deed has already been done. Nawa o
ReplyDeleteI think madam Folashade shld allow it to remain in the west, since it's not an alien culture to the Yorubas.
ReplyDeleteIf eventually the culture forced itself to the Edos, what will happen after Tinubu' s reign.
Oba of Benin isn't like those alatenuje obas, that's why his words will always carry weight. Iyaloja, they say no vacancy in Benin
ReplyDeleteOkay so what happens now?
ReplyDeleteShe has done the ceremony o
ReplyDeleteNull and void ceremony. If e sure for her iyeki make she enter market parade herself as such.
DeleteStill don't get the usefulness of the position? Does it make the market place cleaner?🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteMy former landlord was the babaloja of the market in that area. Those people make bastard money . Everyday day a certain amount is remitted to them. I know this cause he call me to come help him count money as he doesnt trust any of his children with money
