Hope he will also tell death to hold on till January 2017.

nedu2000:
Are religious and traditional laws suppose to supercede a nation's constitution?

Nigeria is not a nation. Check the meaning of a nation in a dictionary.

citizenjuwon:
Even if the deceased is a Muslim?? Is the king an emperor?

Good question. I have always maintained that most of the Benin tradition and history is based on falsehood. The most outlandish is the falsehood that the Oba of Benin is not Yoruba and originally from ile Ife

Ewuare N'ogidigan.

Wonder should never end!
I wept for the masses over there.
Pls over make sure you take care of all the motuary bills acquired by your people.

Does this affects all edo people?

if u get ears,hear word o..oba no get police but his enforcer are stronger,more active and more efficient than NYPD and LAPD

tiamiyukunle69:
Nothing wey person no go hear. If na Muslim die nko

I dont think this "Oba Law" is applicable to Muslims over there

I know my Muslims brothers are exempted from the yeye other

This king is imposing his belief on people. Is this how to rule? What does he expect Muslims who bury their dead loved ones before sunset?

This is Buhari's fault lol

Rubbish and nonsense.

Omoakinsuyi:
The Oba must be high on ikoriko weed. Will he pay for the days a corpse will spend in mortuary or embalming? I dare any reasonable Edo indigene to bury their corpse and sue his ass in court. In my area a monarch died and the old cargo chiefs declared a curfew for Oro festival. Ambode warned them not to try that nonsense in his state...but Oshiomhole can't talk because the Oba helped him rigged the election

Are you edo? If not pls shut up!

If ya'll have no respect for ur king no wahala.

It's clearly stated there 'the king can give consent'

Classless illiterate with no identity

Traditional privileges taken too far by the Bini monarch. He should employ wisdom so as to avoid risking mutiny which could in turn dent the revered reputation the Bini monarchy has built for itself over several centuries.

GODKID98:
Ermm...Is this not a violation of human right??

young man keep quiet before something you can't explain happens to you, typical example of how people cause misfortunes for them selves without even knowing, don't dare compare your politically appointed or elected Oba to the Great Oba of Benin Kingdom. No one flouts his orders and go Scot free, even religious leaders in Benin know this and wouldn't dare him.

Who exempted them?

In the north during particular periods even xtians have 'observe their rules'

The same north southerners get killed for silly issues?

If they don't like it they should pack out of benin

That's benin and not osun or Kwara

This is Pathetic. I'm starting to believe we're living in a zoo

What specie of wildlife are you?

This is exactly what happens when you give a human being too much reverence. They actually begin feeling godlike.

I've never been a fan of any monarchy, all humans are equal as far as it's same blood that flows through our veins.

Tradition is responsible for killing the growth of Africa, while the whites are busy planning on building the next IPhone, we are here worshiping our traditional leaders. Not that we don't have the brain to think, we just rely so much on religion to the point that some people believe God/gods will repair their roads and build hospitals. Pastors now move in private jets funded by gullible Christians. Search YouTube "stupid Christians" and you will cry for mumu worshipers who allow their pastor instruct them to eat grass and they all ate it, what's the difference between them and goats? Jesus please save us all from this bondage called tradition.

mayorkyzo:
So what about people that are are non indigenes...

you already answered your question, go home and do your burial, as long as you're in Benin Kingdom, then you must not dare
