Oba Of Bini Paying Homage In Nri Kingdom In 1913 by golddust6000(m): 7:59am On Mar 28, 2021 |
Nri hegemony of divine kingship at one time in history stretched beyond its shores. So much so that Benin kings would travel to Nri kingdom to receive their right to rule from an Nri Divine king. In the book They Lived Before Adam, the Oba title conferred on Benin Kings originated from Nri and still remains the highest title for chiefs in Nri kingdom. Accordingly, the king's court is made up of a roundtable of Oba chiefs, whose seats are engraved with the Oba title. Meanwhile, I was informed, authoritatively, by a Chief of the Eze Nri council that the tradition of Benin kings receiving their rights of kingship from Nri Kingdom stopped in the 1940s. 2 Likes

The seats were engraved with “Oba Nri”. So, how does that support the position of the OP that Oba of Benin usually travels to Nri to get the authority to rule? Is Oba Nri not different from Oba of Benin again? Those seats belongs to the Nri king and funny enough, it shows the Nri king once used the Obaship title. Maybe the position of Ooni of Ife that Igbos actually migrated from Ile Ife is true after all. 5 Likes 1 Share |

valirex:you're reporting but you instigated his response to you by calling him "nyamiri Igbo" ... Even educational threads aren't spared the madness of you tribal bigots, your lot make Nairaland a laughing stock amongst other social media sites. What ANY intelligent person would have done was to counter his claim with that written by another authority on the subject but no, you must exhibit your lack of home training then cry out to the mods when you're put in your place.

This nri story has to be the joke of the century. The trend amongst Nigerian ethnic biggots, be it Yoruba or Igbo and sometimes even northerners, is to make claims about Benin in order to grow prestige for themselves. One little thing: in 1913 the Oba of Benin was in exile. You guys are trying to lie like Yoruba, but you didn't even do your research first. All these story-story usually fall apart when anybody asks for proof. 7 Likes 1 Share |

What this photo shows is that it is not only the yoribas who copied the title of the Oba of Benin, the Igbos did it too. People tend to copy the famous and mighty, that is not a new thing. It is the same way most monarchs copied the title "king": the title of the British monarch whenever it's a male on the British throne. 2 Likes |

Truthshots: You can make your point without dragging Yorubas into this. The OP is Igbo, face him and stop chasing shadows. By the way, the picture was not taken in 1913 as there is nothing to support the date other than the OP’s imagination. How many Africans living in the hinterland were using eye glasses in 1913? 2 Likes |
