A child born by a concubine is called a lover

I  CHALLENGE EMUOBOH TO PROVE ME WRONG HE'S NOT KENNETH GBAGI'S FIRST SON 

-By Zik Gbemre 

I challenge Emuoboh Gbagi who is the 3rd eldest son of Kenneth Gbagi to prove me wrong.

Five women gave birth to Kenneth Gbagi. In Urhoboland it is called 'gates'. Which means Kenneth Gbagi had children/child from women also known as 'gates' in Urhoboland. 
When Urhobo man dies his properties are shared among the 'gates'. 

 According to Urhobo and Ughievwen culture, customs and traditions the properties of late  Urhobo man are shared equally among the 'gates'. In Urhoboland there is no illegal child unless proven wrong by DNA test. Every child is  legal. A child born by a concubine, lover, girlfriend is legal like the child born by a wife. 

'Osen' means a concubine or lover but the children have equal rights with the children/child of a wife. 'OMOSEN' is child born by a concubine, lover, girlfriend and they have equal rights with the children/child born by a wife. 

When an Urhobo man dies the surviving wife  lives in the home of the husband until he passes and can be buried in the compound of his husband if her customs and traditions allow it. The family has no lawful right to evict the wife from the homes of her husband. 

It is an abomination and taboo for a wife who is no longer in marriage to be brought to homes of his former husband 
after passing since she didn't reconcile when his husband was alive.

Even if the only surviving wife doesn't have any child for his husband but was married according to native laws and customs, the family of the husband after his passing can't evict the wife from the homes of the late husband. She will remain there till she passes.

Emuoboh Gbagi can't prove that he is not the 3rd son of Olorogun Kenneth Gbagj. George Gbagi is the first child and son of Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, Michael Gbagi is the second child and son of Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi. Emuoboh Gbagi is the 3rd child and son of Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi. 

I  challenge Emuoboh Gbagi to make himself and his mother's children available for DNA test as requested by George Gbagi and Michael Gbagi, and they have said and affirmed they (George and Michael) will make themselves available for DNA test including all Kenneth Gbagi's children to know biological status of all Kenneth Gbagi's children.

Aghogho Gbagi who is based in US from another woman making it the 5th gate of Kenneth Gbagi. 

The Kenneth Gbagi's 'gates' are:
George,
Michael,
Emuoboh,
Aghogho,
Gbayoro.

Gbayoro is the youngest child of Kenneth Gbagi and named after Kenneth Gbagi's mother. Kenneth Gbagi so much loved Gbayoro when he was alive. Gbayoro accompanied Kenneth Gbagi to the UK for his last trip without her mother few days before Kenneth Gbagi passed.

Kenneth Gbagi's surviving brothers and sisters from same womb (mother) are: 

Hope,
Maiden,
Egalton,
Charity.

Kenneth Gbagi's brother of same womb but not same father is Stephen who is based in America.
All Kenneth Gbagi's brothers and sisters of same father and mother  know that George is the first child and son of Kenneth Gbagi, Michael is the second child  and son of Kenneth Gbagi, Emuoboh is the 3rd child and son of Kenneth Gbagi.

Those who doubt me should go and verify from Kenneth Gbagi's bothers and sisters of same mother and father.

An online response on my write-up on my advice to Gbagi's family, goes, "I have read your write up on Chief Kenneth Gbagi family ,,,the family of Chief Kenneth Gbagi need to do the right thing to avoid ancestral anger ... thanks for that exposition Sir ... Miguor Sir".

Another response on my write-up,
"I hope these people are not going to bring a huge curse on the Gbagi family. Faith is old enough to know the Ughievwen and Urhobo customs and tradition in matters like this especially."

Another online response,
"Truth is bitter but it must be told . Migwo sir".

I urge all Urhobo and Ughievwen elders to join me to tell Emuoboh Gbagi the bitter truth on Urhobo and Ughievwen traditiom and customs on how to share properties of a late man who had children/child from many women.

Kenneth Gbagi was my close Ughievwen and Urhobo younger brother who always call me his elder brother when he was alive and I can't shy away from the bitter truth no matter who and what is involved. Emuoboh is the 3rd son of Kenneth Gbagi and I challenge him to prove me wrong. 

I urge Emuoboh Gbagi and all Gbagi children including George Gbagi and Michael Gbagi to do DNA test to prove their paternal blood status with Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi.

For Emuoboh Gbagi to be parading himself is not enough. Emuoboh should show scientific evidence to prove that George and Michael are not Gbagi's first and second son respectively.

Emuoboh should remove his mother from Gbagi's homes and go hire house for her mother, Evelyn. The Gbagi family should go and bring back Mrs Justice Sybil Gbagi to Gbagi's homes as the only surviving wife of Kenneth Gbagi before he passed and she should be given her due rights as Kenneth Gbagi's only surviving wife before Kenneth Gbagi passed. 

Emuoboh Gbagi's mother, Evelyn was no longer Kenneth's wife before Kenneth Gbagi passed. Evelyn, Emuoboh's mother was married to a white man, Mr Turner Darryl in US. Can Urhobo man marry a woman with two husbands at the same time? 

If elders refuse to say the truth in Urhoboland they will be tormented by ghosts of ancestors. I will continue to say it as it is no matter who and what is involved. Emuoboh Gbagi should call self to order if his uncles refuse to call him to order. 

It is only the truth that shall set you free. Elders should take their roles in society by standing for the truth
