On a video posted on Youtube by a Benin man living in Benin City, Edo State, Mr Johnny Sidney, started that the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewaure II has instructed the Benin people to cut down the plantains they planted behind their houses (reasons unknown).

Captioning the video Mr Sidney wrote;

STTS SHOW: THE PEOPLE OF IGODOMIGODO SHOULD

NEVER CUT DOWN ANY PLANTAIN BECAUSE THEY WILL

COME BACK TO SELL THE SAME PLANTAIN TO YOU

The Edo man started the video with a song, ‘Igodomigodo you think you’re living in heaven but you’re living in hell… Time alone, time will tell…’

According to Johnny Sidney, the Oba of Benin consulted Witch Doctors also known as Native Doctors in Nigeria, and they told him he is about to lose.

In his words;

He consulted a native doctor and they told him he’s about to lose.

And they told him that God is about to discipline him, and that God is about to show to him that he is not No. 2 and he is not God.

Again, the native doctors told him, the only way you can control the people is through food, you know plantain is one of their source of income.

One of those plants that makes a lot of money for them.

All you need to do is to tell them to cut down those plantain, if they do, then you have defeated them.

He explained his logic behind the cutting down of the plantains, saying that if the people of Benin should cut down the plantains that the Oba of Benin will come back and provide for them, what they do not need, what they already had.

These people are under brain backwardness, their mindsets is so negative that they do not think the betterment of the people, he said.

Illustrating with the video ’10 RICHEST KINGS IN NIGERIA’ the Oba of Benin is worth about $60million, Mr Sydney questioned, why was every other traditional ruler in that video properly profiled, identified and introduced but when the video got to the part of the Oba of Benin, it reads ‘he worked from 1981-1982 with the United Nations.

He pleaded with the Benin people not to cut down their plantains, if they do! They have destroyed themselves. He said in Benin language

The Oba does not ask how you feed yourselves, what is the jobs of the Oba’s children?

According to him, apparently, the children of the Oba are not into any known business or into creativity, craftsmanship, bronze casting or anything.

He went further to remind that his late Father, Oba Erediawa did a similar thing to the cow rearers during his reign as the Oba of Benin, he instructed that cows should be removed, that they are evils. The Benin people removed the cows and they stopped breeding cows,

But today our people go to the market, they buy cows as if their forefathers never reared cows, Oba Erediuwa destroyed their economy based so he could penetrate them, the same thing his son is doing right now’ he said.

Mr Sidney also talks about the benefit and importance of plantains.

Plantains are very expensive plants in Nigeria, two heads of plantains when sold in the market can feed a family of two for five days according to Nigeria standard, he added.
