OBATOKPEYE!!

isee

lexy2014:
how many wives does Rocha's have?

just one. Okorocha is a christian. Polygamy is strictly prohibited in Christendom

2sa2:
If he marry only one wife, will he die?

Did they complain to you?

Long live the Oba

Rockyrocky:
The difference is that British citizens live way above poverty line , they careless how much goes in the welfare of the monarchy. On the other hand you know the story in Nigeria.

i didnt want to comment on all this hatred comment on this trend untill i saw urs it proved you're dogmatic in thinking....did they tell you that the oba of benin makes the rules in edo so he shld rule alongside the government abi or did tell you the queen of england that developed london ...if nigeria gives him a chance to rule then you can now say anything against him but for now your ignorance is alarming

GrandFinale2017:

I dont think d discussion was about Christianity or what it prohibits or not. U mentioned that bello has 2 wives and instead of paying salaries, he used d money to maintain his wives. Now Rochas, d so called Christian has one wife. If d no of wives a governor has is d basis 4 not being able 2 salaries, how do u explain Rochas who has one wife but who isn't able to pay salaries?

more like illiterate and primitive "king"

6th century polygamy in action in 2017

i guess u re yoruba amd if u re your king is a disgrace for marrying only one wife who was married before and later divorcing her. divorcing is not in the african tradition

Wow! Oba looking younger by the day.

Bro I understand the state of the economy here in Nigeria but that does not mean that we have to dump our tradition. The Benin monarch has been here before the coming of the British. We got to respect that tradition.

why is he always on red attire?

Rockyrocky:
You are a compound idiot. Who told you the oba's advice is not needed in the daily affairs of Edo state? The best way to hide your ignorance is not to call other people ignorant,you argue with your mouth upside down. You said the "monarchy developed England". Hence they have considerable power over the affairs of the country. What did your oba in comparaison do for edo state other than hungry looking faces like you wandering around in Benin.

Idiotic sycophant like you who can't validate their existence without exalting political figures needs to be quarantined.

i laff at senseless pple like you since d coronation oba advice to develope the seaport did they do it ....he shld be running hand to hand with d state government abi .like u said the british monarchy has a say in d political system is it like it in edo or which king will not want progress for is kingdom if given d chance to rule

This one will not mind being the fifth wife. But wait a minute, I hope the new Oba has packed out of the mud house he inherited from his late father

nikz:
Lovely family! More wisdom to Oba.

I think they are his daughters.
The wives are seated.

Nawteemaxie:
His kids are still Young.
And are the ones standing behind him wives or concubines?

scopusng:
The first son too small to dey that pic. The first sin cannot see his face face to face gain until the oba's death

what about the one we have been seeing

That is the palace. Leave Binis with their heritage. Everything isn't a joke

And one of them looks pregnant.

You are a disgrace going by your illiterate comment, I say you iQ level is very low and similar to a primate.
What schools did you attend to come up with rubbish like divorce is not in african tradition. Have you asked in Cape town or Kenya what the divorce tradition is?
You are quoting you mental intelligence level and describing it as African tradition - what a monkey!

lol..even if its in africa was is in your kingdom and if we say we shld research on it ur statement might even be wrong on divorce

TheHistorian:
Shall we start questioning wasteful expenditure in this Country?

What does this King contribute to the GDP of Nigeria??

What exactly is his function other than sitting and sleeping comfortably in a well furnished palace awaiting election period to receive goodies from politicians while Edo residents wallow in the abyss of penury??

Nigeria is a peculiar state with peculiar problems so we need strong approach if indeed we crave for developments.

... and what is the function of the royals in UK?

Anyways, this Oba is one of the most important and prominent, representing an ancient, long-lasting power, filled with prosperity and rich cultural heritage. It's a pity the British Empire had better weapons than the Benin Empire, otherwise we would not be where we are today.

"The Benin Empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in the coastal hinterland of West Africa, dating perhaps to the eleventh century CE until it was annexed by the British Empire in 1897."

Much respect to the Oba and the royal family.

Nawteemaxie:

He has 3 wives who are clothed in Royal apparel there. The others in the picture are his Children.

Rockyrocky:
Unlike you that has no say, the Benin Oba is traditionally strong spiritually respected even by the international community and powers that be. Am not from Benin but it's unfortunate that am telling you how strong the man you are sheepishly fighting for is. If he wants change in edo that will benefit everyone he can effect it even at the federal level.

Don't defend what you don't know like I said oba of Benin is no different from any average Nigerian politician.

Stop arguing from both sides of your mouth.

i guess u know how influential he is but nevertheless he can only advice and not force or command fedr to do his bidding

Where is their white handkerchief

Oyindidi:
Handsome without the blindman shades.
Cute family

the only thing I like about him are his glasses.

Tot he is not allowed to his son till death.

do you see, benin kingdom, in old books in Nigeria.. NO..

Don't go to go your village be in another man's land and talking shit.

You are a fool an idiot and worst of all a disgrace to your people that's if you have any

2sa2:

Has he ever asked you for money to feed them.
I don't know why people don't mind their business, must you portray foolishness in public

Mzjacy:
See our fine Oba, Edo nimose

don't you know if you fine, your pikin too go fine? It's obvious in the looks of his children. His wives too are pretty...give that to Edo ladies , any day. Na small e remain, I for marry Edo gal during my nysc back in the days. As a young yoruba corper, they were all clustering around me. I think the king is humble too. I spotted him in ile Ife on my way from Oauthc early this year with his convoy.
