database of all Benin people in various fields of human endeavour for easy communication.

Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo said sanity has been restored in land

The Oba of Benin noted that though the ban of CDA may not have gone
down well with some people who were benefitting from it, but it is
good for the people and society.

The President of Edoma Club who was represented by his Vice, Mr.
EdikuOsabuohien congratulated the Oba of Benin for successfully
ascending the throne of his fore fathers.

He informed the Monarch that Edoma Club is a social-cultural group that seek for progress for its members as well as the society.

Mr. Ediku said the club identifies with orphans and less privileged in
the society and gives scholarship to indigent students.

especially the banning of CDA, and call for its total elimination.
