Coronation Ritual: Benin Crown Prince Eheneden Wrestles With Chief Priest He’ll by elose: 2:41pm On Oct 17, 2016 |
BENIN—AS preparations for the coronation of a new Oba of Benin intensify, the Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom, Eheneden Erediauwa, weekend, embarked on a symbolic wrestling bout with the Chief Priest of Okhuaihe shrine and the Ohen N’Ukoni Neyedo, Osarodion Usuanlele. The implication of the symbolic wrestling bout which took place at the shrine located at Evbuekoi community, in Uhunwode Local Government Area of the state, is that once the Crown Prince becomes Oba, both of them will never see each other again. The Okhuaihe Chief Priest, will not enter Benin City again and whenever the Oba wants to pass through the vicinity, the Chief Priest would leave the area. As part of the rites and rituals, the Crown Prince visited the Chief Priest about 7:55p.m., and both of them proceeded to the sacred forest in the community where some rites were performed before the symbolic wrestling bout. The Crown Prince left Evuekoi for Azama N’ Uhe ancestral shrine at Oloton’s Palace in Isekhere street where some traditional rites were also performed as part of the coronation rituals.

abokibuhari: you are obviously very foolish. you didn't read this The Crown Prince left Evuekoi for Azama N’ Uhe ancestral shrine at Oloton’s Palace in Isekhere street where some traditional rites were also performed as part of the coronation rituals. The implications of this rite rubbishes u to dust. .only utterly stuupid or dishonest people will take this Oba of Benin supremacy over the Ooni further 1. Uhe, as we all know means ife, here we see the crown prince going to do rituals at the ancestral shrine of Ife. .. please if oba of Benin doesn't consider Ife his ancestral home why do coronation rites at a shrine called ancestral shrine of ife? 2. you cannot talk this away because the Oloton is the one who oranmiyan left behind to take care of his son Eweka (first Omo n ’ oba)...it is only expected that the Oba's ancestral shrine be located at the Oloton's residence |

macof:Let me enlighten you. Oduduwa was a prince from the Benin kingdom who fled from Benin and arrived ife where he was proclaimed a king after helping them win a civil war at that time. Now years later when there was unrest in Benin, the oracle told them that the only way there could be peace in Benin was if they brought back Oduduwa to come and take his rightful throne, but at this time Oduduwa was already old and he told them he was too old and already settled in ife but he asked his son Oramiyan to accompany them back to Benin. On getting to Benin Oramiyan could not stay because there was too much war in the land ands that was why he named it Ile I bonu land of vexation. He now Impregnated one of their daughters with the instructions that the son be crowned the Oba of Benin and went back to Ife. Now it is only proper of every Oba of Benin perform the ceremony at Uhe (Ife) because indeed the present Oba is a descendant of Oduduwa. But the truth is that Oduduwa is originally from Benin. He was a crown prince from Benin who fled the kingdom to ife. 1 Like |

Nelton: but the story of Ekaladerhan doesn't fit oduduwa. also, this issue of Ekaladerhan is a supremacy battle attack from bini. .. which fails flat considering that even if Ekaladerhan was oduduwa, he never got authority from bini but the Oba's of Benin got authority from Ife |
Re: Coronation Ritual: Benin Crown Prince Eheneden Wrestles With Chief Priest He’ll by Nelton(m): 8:24am On Oct 20, 2016 |
The story fits perfectly. However I agree with you that he didn't get his authority from Benin because he was never. Made a king in Benin.,even hough he was meant to be king but rather he was made a king in Ife and since his son Oramiyan was the father of the first Oba it is only logical that the oba gets authority from Ife but it does not discount the fact that Oduduwa was Ekhaderlan and he was from Benin. |
