I grew up to know the edo people especially the BINIS to be a custodian of great and revered culture. A culture that shape and mold behavioural pattern of both the young and the old in the community, a culture that frowns at and condemn immoral acts, laziness a culture which foster unity among its people, an enviable culture that gives premium to the force of moral rectitude, respect for one another care for our family units and of cause a culture that says do unto others as you would want others to do unto you.
My dear people of Edo Club of New Jersey! I believe i will not be wrong if i assert that, this great club was founded and woven into the the great Benin culture and values. I will also be correct to say that its operations and what its represents as a social-cultural phenomenon is nothing short of the great Benin cultural values and heritage which has been the envy of not only other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, but across the global hemisphere.
Home and away the Edo people detest and condemn not just adultery, but an attempt at adultery, incest taboo and other similar vice. In short among the edo people, a man who make in appropriate advances towards his friends wife, his brothers wife etc is considered insane and would require some urgent mental examination!
This is why it is most appalling to hear about the recent scandalous allegations against a principal officer ..I mean a sitting member of the EXCO of this great club. This scandal which is already out there with evidences, has not only gone virile but has equally elicited other hidden scandalous act perpetrated by this same untamed.... he-goat..with no apology.. because among the binis when a man lacks the ability to control his sexual desires, and put his manhood in check, such a man is metaphorically refer to as "Ovbukhor" (HE GOAT).
EDO CLUB of New jersey i want you to consider this a wake up call... wake up from your slumber and take necessary and appropriate action that this development deserve in order to prevent the name of this great club and by extension the names of his credible members being smear and drag to the mud. You must not allow the good and respected name of the club which has taken collective effort of all the good members of the club to build over the years to be tarnish by just the attitude of a singular member who decide to make the most abominable choice of going after his first cousin's enshrined wife here in the State of New Jersey.....This man has failed the club, his family, and the church he worship.....he profess to be a christian and an elder in a church located within the periphery of the city of Newark NJ
Gentlemen this is not in the best interest of this club, not in the best interest of the entire benin/edo community in NJ and the US in general. The perpetrator of this act must be tamed and punish appropriately.
I have fulfilled my part.
Thank you.
