After watching this historical history of igbinedion , now I know that who God has blessed no man can course. I never knew he was the one who single handedly brought electricity to the whole of ovia. Indeed Esama is a gift and a blessing to his generation.
Interesting... As a kid growing in Warri, watching EBS, ITV, NTA etc, I used to enjoy his birthday celebrations especially as it was the same month as mine. He has lived a long and fulfilled life. Here's wishing him more life and celebrations.....
I call him My King and I am from Somalia I had the pleasure of meeting him and his beautiful Wife in Ghana at the African Nobel peace prize I adore and respect this Man may god keep Him safe what an inspiration he is to me Respect my King ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
A great man, who would always be remembered, He has invested in people (the greatest asset worth investing in) and his legacy would live on in them and even after them. God bless him.
What a great man! I have always loved his enterenueship goals...with his quote,"failure is not final and success has no end" may u live more years sir..
when u talk about the man that greatly and truelly love Nigeria and Edo state this is the man,all the money he worked for and business he gained from overseas he invested everything in Nigeria and edo state,if others will follow suit i think Nigeria and Nigerians will have become the dream country we all wish it will be,some say he took ppl lands to invest on it,while some say he took their wives,even some even say he wanted to over throw the Oba of benin,while in all of this i can only see a man full of determination and zeal to make the world a better place for all humanity,and that vision is still there on his eyes and mind,may God almighty continue to strengthen you and empower u papa i love you from the core of my heart thanks for showing us the ways to success u will keep on celebrating till the last hair in ur body become white as snow more grace to u my great leader Amen.
@talk2me9ja ever since i have being reading ur comments here,you have never contributed anything nice or appreciate those that have early strive for the betterment of Nigeria at large before corruption came into Nigeria,when u talk about someone don't always look at his bad records u also have to see what he start doing that no one as done u still need to give them praise on that,there are many men of integrity in Edo state whom really build companies there where our brothers and father work,up till now,bros i will ask u what have u contribute to Edo state?do u have any investment there?pls let learn how to appreciate the ppl who did what we are yet to do pls
@talk2me9ja when u say historical things pls don't forget that Benin was over power by the portuguese and the British forces accompanied by the igwes through galagala river,come to think of it will u still prefer we be in the dark?Benin ppl are the cause of all this because even our forefathers accept their gifts before us,so you have to hold them accountable for that,for not spreading the wealth the British empire brought to us all,but they keep it out of reach,we all should benefit from the compensation they pay one group family forgetting that all Benin ppl were also affected,hold the higher chiefs responsible for failing to distribute our common wealth that was made of us all
Africa will rise we are too great to be kept down I love this am inspired to contribute to African greatness world wide may the ancestors light my path and protect me!
Wow!!! I am glad, i got to watch and listern to a different side of Cheif Igbinedion Esama of Benin... i have learnt a lot from this document and i have shared it. Nice one
Why I love him is that, he use his money to invest in edo state nigeria and give jobs to Nigeria’s. Order leaders should learn from him and do the same.
He stole Nigerian Goverment money Via OKADA Airlines..........in Fact Civil Servants Wages .........As for Lucky.............. he also a Thieving Bastard...
Esama, Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion is one of the 21 greatest living men in the world as of September 16, 2018. I want to be specific because Esama is truly great and God Almighty has enriched his life, his family, his village, his heart, his altruism, his intentions, his very beautiful wife Lady Cherry Igbinedion. God bless his entire posterity forever and ever.
The schools are his business ventures which are profit yielding investments. The poor benefit from his philanthropy, which money is gotten from his profit making investments.
I like this man and i will like to be like him i think i have some of his quality and i pray that will bring out in me. I am happy for you. You are really a father
@letloveguard well - if u want to be rich I have to be ruthless. The very rich will tell u that they became rich by being ruthless. That's one of the secrets to making money. Exploit others.
Well done Osasu for such a beautiful documentary. It was also nice to see lady Eki.. still looking as beautiful as she was as the First Lady of Edo state. Your grand father has done well and so has your dad... now the ball is in our court. History has taken note of all the things his done, and looking forward to what we will do
Inspiring that only his mumu son ruined everything before Edo state indigenes. I shared same month with you Esama, so I will rich like you then. Sir, long life!!!
You will for ever be my legend, and I will love your courageous attitude for life. majority of the people from Edo state dint no what you are to them. for over 20years now nobody like esama have ever come to Benin againg to what you did for the people.
But yet, His first son lucky was a complete failure to the People of Edo State...Looted the funds of the people of Edo state. His main goal as governor was to come and revive that of his father's lost wealth that was already gone and he was absolutely succeeded but, did nothing for the People of Edo state. Today, Igbinedion family owns almost half Benin city. I have nothing against the Esama of Benin. But lucky igbinadion is by far the biggest criminal in Edo state history.
I know this man very well. From young boy working in the village following people who cut wood. Later Mr omorogbe helped him to police. Marriage a rich white woman who he got the first money from. Please tell me the infrastructure he has done to the Benin, well he help some individuals not the Benin people, he as benefits from the government money, Please stop adding sugar Ask your father the people land he stole from other people in the village
Who are you to judge or call his son Gabriel hopeless? What have you achieved in your own life and even if you're a high achiever this should not give you carte blanche to judge someone regardless of your reasons. Only God can and will judge
Nice documentary. However some ppl can't focus on the theme/message which I believe is all about the Chief not Lucky. What a galling bunch. The short of the story is that Lucky was a victim of circumstances. All his peers in Gov's mansions all around the country did the same. Infact what they do these days makes him look tame. I am not excusing anything, but this is absolutely not the forum to address Lucky, it is one of paying tribute to one of our "Greats" Our biggest problem in this part of the world is no secret. We love tearing one another down which is very unfortunate, because it is contrary the Chief's doctrine. Thanks for sharing
Ok good documentary Baba igbinadion but i hope your sons and daughters including your grand children can speak our language of the crown like you if not there is no blood of ovbie eseserese in them.
When they have made money they will say ooo my father found this land we are from the lion family but they will never tell you how many rituals and how many souls they have collected here is one man who ran down the New Nigeria Bank of bendel state they will never tell you that only posterity will judge us all be a thousand years from today like Martin Luther king " truth crushed to earth shall rise again
Igbinedion only get his wealth for his children's never help his village,community,states he bought all the lands in Okada village I feel so sorry for the village people bcoz their children will not be able to have their own land ..his son lucky igbinedion was ex governor who only loot money to himself The benin people worship him so sad that Nigerian rich people are selfish

Truly you're a hero you have also done well for the people of Edo state and Nigerians at large... I pray to God for such wisdom
Esama of benin may you live long and with good health
Why I love him is that, he use his money to invest in edo state nigeria and give jobs to Nigeria’s. Order leaders should learn from him and do the same.
He stole Nigerian Goverment money Via OKADA Airlines..........in Fact Civil Servants Wages .........As for Lucky.............. he also a Thieving Bastard...

Super nice and inspiring story. I love history.. so much to take out of this..
I have nothing but admiration and respect for this man for socially responsible for his people. Well done Papa.
What a great man Esama of Benin is. I never knew he has a mixed-race son .
The man is indeed a great man from Benin Kingdom, but his schools are very expensive only the rich people can afford the school fees.
The schools are his business ventures which are profit yielding investments. The poor benefit from his philanthropy, which money is gotten from his profit making investments.
Good documentary. An English subtitle would be a good idea, you never know who’s watching.
Igbinedion...... the Esama..... the man most private investment in Benin Kingdom. Kudos to the great Son Of Benin Kingdom.
I respect him highly glad to be alive in his time 🙏🏽😳
This was great loved to learn about my village and culture!!
Nice story! I hope the young generation can learn from him. Wisdom is the key to success.
I like this man and i will like to be like him i think i have some of his quality and i pray that will bring out in me. I am happy for you. You are really a father
He was sometimes ruthless, his son ruin Edo state as Governor, I wish him long life.
@letloveguard well - if u want to be rich I have to be ruthless. The very rich will tell u that they became rich by being ruthless. That's one of the secrets to making money. Exploit others.
And Disrespectful But Will NEVER Answer Or Talk Back. A Green Snake Under The Green Grass. Okada People Has Lot Their Farm Land.

You will for ever be my legend, and I will love your courageous attitude for life. majority of the people from Edo state dint no what you are to them. for over 20years now nobody like esama have ever come to Benin againg to what you did for the people.
A great Icon
I thought I was going to watch a factual and objective documentary, not realising it's one of those self-serving praise-singing shows.
This story is not complete, How did he get money to establish many companies as a young police officer? Where did the money come from?
I'm so much in love with you for promote binis in everywhere u go
I respect you so much sir
Good work'keep it up.
I love this man
God bless the Esama of Benin
I have always envy him...he is a light and inspiration to the me
But yet, His first son lucky was a complete failure to the People of Edo State...Looted the funds of the people of Edo state. His main goal as governor was to come and revive that of his father's lost wealth that was already gone and he was absolutely succeeded but, did nothing for the People of Edo state. Today, Igbinedion family owns almost half Benin city. I have nothing against the Esama of Benin. But lucky igbinadion is by far the biggest criminal in Edo state history.
So wonderful
I know this man very well. From young boy working in the village following people who cut wood. Later Mr omorogbe helped him to police. Marriage a rich white woman who he got the first money from.
Please tell me the infrastructure he has done to the Benin, well he help some individuals not the Benin people, he as benefits from the government money,
Please stop adding sugar
Ask your father the people land he stole from other people in the village
Sarah Isreal
Long life pa osawaru lgbienadion l am very proud of you daddy
May ur days be long the esama of the great Benin kingdom failure is not final
He is a great man. I have feld in his soup kitchen in late 80s(baba exemption) long life.
Thanks so much for this
We the Edo people are indeed proud of him, despite the fact that we are also disappointed in his hopeless son Gabriel.
Who are you to judge or call his son Gabriel hopeless? What have you achieved in your own life and even if you're a high achiever this should not give you carte blanche to judge someone regardless of your reasons. Only God can and will judge
Sivo Sly please let learn on how to keep our mouth free from injustice and insults chief Ezama is Gabriel by name not his son ok
God's wisdom on him
Great Job about a Great Man,
Indeed, I am touched
Wahooò
I never knew all these.......
I wish to know more about him
How do you become a teacher with no education? Nigeria has been corrupt for a long time. He was a great businessman tho.
no I'm from Delta state my grandmother seems to know every story
great job! Well done Producer and the entire crew
God bless u,indeed u are a great man
Great man..God bless him
We need more Kings and leaders like him.
Esama the great.
Happy birthday Sir, bcos this month is ur month of celebration.
Really enjoyed it. :)
Please can someone tell me who sang dis song and the title
Nice ,but this is not a well detailed documentary ,please do a more detailed documentary thanks.
Nice documentary.
However some ppl can't focus on the theme/message which I believe is all about the Chief not Lucky.
What a galling bunch.
The short of the story is that Lucky was a victim of circumstances. All his peers in Gov's mansions all around the country did the same.
Infact what they do these days makes him look tame. I am not excusing anything, but this is absolutely not the forum to address Lucky, it is one of paying tribute to one of our "Greats"
Our biggest problem in this part of the world is no secret. We love tearing one another down which is very unfortunate, because it is contrary the Chief's doctrine.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, i hope Christ is his Lord
Nana Beatz Only God knows his children. You can't know who God loves
Nana Beatz that called igbins built a church in his very one compound, were people go for worship
God bless u sir
Is there any relations with the country Benin?
YOG
Ok good documentary Baba igbinadion but i hope your sons and daughters including your grand children can speak our language of the crown like you if not there is no blood of ovbie eseserese in them.
Well said

I'm inspired...
failure is not final
And success have no end
He is a great man....he deserve to live long amen....proudly edo blood....Esama is one of the greatness man in the world

Baba Igbinedion, I hail you.
When they have made money they will say ooo my father found this land we are from the lion family but they will never tell you how many rituals and how many souls they have collected here is one man who ran down the New Nigeria Bank of bendel state they will never tell you that only posterity will judge us all be a thousand years from today like Martin Luther king " truth crushed to earth shall rise again
NPF
GREAT CHIEF OF ALL TIME
Good one sir🤗
You didnt tell us where he got the money to establish 33 companies ar29. From the police?
This is so true!!!
Lol
Do my eye deceive me, or is that Osofo Ahadzi?
Please is okada air back again? I want to visit my town at Ogbese in ovia local govt
Okada air was blood morning, foldup
Weldon sir....
Igbinedion only get his wealth for his children's never help his village,community,states he bought all the lands in Okada village I feel so sorry for the village people bcoz their children will not be able to have their own land ..his son lucky igbinedion was ex governor who only loot money to himself
The benin people worship him so sad that Nigerian rich people are selfish
You mention “bought” so they rightfully sold the lands to him and he didn’t use force to take it from them.
God Bless the Esama
I admire his spirit
