author=anonimi post=50451525]I thought that the Benin Kingdom was so rooted in its own tradition and had plenty of MAGICAL powers. I tend to have similar questions when I see the the new Ooni of Ife. You see them all they're interested is the glitz and glamour the throne have to offer. None of them is doing anything to reconstruct their various native languages that was destroyed by Britain. For instance; you still see "oba of Benin" boldly written on the king's official car. Doesn't "oba of Benin" have an interpretation in Bini language? Oba Ewuare 11, did your ancestors use "oba of Benin" in English to describe your throne? Do you know Rolls Royce is a product of descendants of the people that kidnapped and exiled your father, Oba Ovonramwen? Do you know there're cache of Benin and Oyo (ancient kingdom) artifacts that you don't have knowledge of, but which are hidden somewhere in a British museum or other undisclosed places in Europe? Do you and Ooni Ogunwusi even know anything about your histories? www.nairaland.com/attachments/4393140_20161023183142_jpeg777269dddeddc4961ff8e830733f8741 2 Likes 2 Shares |

The cost of rolls royce can help about thousands of people but instead they just use the money for themselves. I was to see that the former emir of kano was the eight riches sultan in the world before he died with a net worth of 1.2 billion dollars. We will continue to face disasters in this countries if we don't change 3 Likes |

Nawa o...very interesting conversations. The recession is biting most Nigerians including some of our commentators and the bone of contention is the procurement of a rolls Royce by a first class Nigerian monarch. Nigerians cannot hear progress and carry their eye. They must either claim relationship or just show bitterness like say na their money dem use buy the motor....or dem dey video you as you dey thief d money. If you are related, nice one. If you are just bitter, make money and buy the car. If you are wondering why the Oba needs to buy the car if he won't ride it, then na ofofo go kill you. Thread closed Abeg. .. |

iDealWithFools: Do not mind him. As if Amorc, Ogboni, cultists and others are not in other churches across 9ja. People without any remarkable history will always attempt to denigrate other people's enviable history. Ethiopians, Coptic Egyptians, Armenians, Greeks and other ancient Christian nations have their own christian church according to their customs. Benin Empire adopted its own christian church 500 years ago when most people in current 9ja had no idea what Christianity was about, for centuries to come. That a possible adherent of modern pretentious church business would cast aspersions on a church built at the time when Christianity still had a meaning is the height of hypocrisy. You see, religion "sharks" those who just found it recently. They become ignorant zealots. Benin on the other hand has had centuries of living with it & has "internalized & indigenized" it. Like other ancient civilizations. |

musicwriter: See hypocrisy. Oyinbo carted away your people into slavery too, something Benin people were largely spared of, and I hope you're walking around town with a native woven loin cloth around your waist. No T-shirt, no jeans, no trousers, no suits, nothing. I hope the device you are using to post here was carved from an obeche tree in your family yard. I also hope you had your education from KG to university in your native language & you're posting your comments here in your "aga iga uga" language. And finally, you walk from your hamlet/village or town to work. No bicycle, no cars, no train, no bus & no using aeroplane. In a hurry to conclude, you had not time to see that Oba of Benin is written in Benin language too. And aside 1170 AD, nothing else is written in English. How people can have a massive iroko log wood in their eye & point at someone's little speck is beyond me. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Qmerit: Well, when Ewuare I ascended the throne in 1440 AD, he brought in political & societal reforms that that were for the time quite radical. With time, he built an empire & is generally considered Benin's greatest Oba yet. So taking the title Ewuare II is laden with a lot of meaning. Reforms will be radical, even with the limited power traditional rulers now have. Within the ambit of traditional powers. Now, beer parlour rumour is more popular than truth on Nairaland. While an Oba can encourage & urge people to do things in a certain cultural way, outrightly forbidding individual things is not the norm in modern times. Oba ceased to be political head of state in 1897. Night burials were never really forbidden. In villages night burials remain normal & popular. In November last year, for an old relative who died & was buried in the village, one dance was in the day (because her children's social clubs coming from the city would not travel at night or do night function) & the other dance was during the night which the neighboring villages came to. Only cities mostly changed in the last 20 years or so. And it has more to do with safety: security issues, bad roads/accidents and a changing society. Most people now go to church. The typical Saturday night dance into Sunday morning is not popular anymore. Night dance are now typically Friday nights. Saturday daytime dance & thanksgiving on Sunday of it. |
