Lols @ the bolded.
If aggressively defending my king & culture makes me rude and arrogant then thank you...that's a great compliment

Only poorly trained people attack other peeps king n tradition & even urge them to mutiny that shows his king or leaders have failed them so much RESPECT is now alien to them

He's lucky it's NL maybe he should stroll to benin & tell a benin man what he typed if he wouldn't be lynched.

...& b4 u attribute it to backwardness pls go to developed nations like thailand n japan, Brunei & other emirates & belittle their king or sultans or emperor & see what happens.

That we are all still in a unified nigeria doesn't give ANY ALIEN the right to insult or belittle the king of a previously powerful & independent kingdom .

Point of correction, those countries mentioned do not have their monarchs infringe on people's rights; besides,since you are aggressively defending your king's wrong doings and tradition,i want to put this up to you; Who owns AKUGBE VENTURES - a money collecting entity at motor parks headed by him which in turn remits to the selfish govt. Atleast, the monarchs named above don't exploit their people and not even the absolute monarch - Queen Elizabeth II who can do no wrong according to the British Constitution does that.

There should be sanity and fairness in every by-law or traditional laws passed because these subjects that these laws inconvenient make the crown what it's worth. CAN A KING RULE HIMSELF AND HIS CHIEFS WITHOUT SUBJECTS?

Ezechinwa:
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.

Most enlightened write up so far. THUMBS UP..

evansjeff:
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.

I don't think those religious leaders are true Christians then. Bro, to respect a monarch as a Christian is one thing, to fear him is another. No true religious leader will fear a monarch.

MALIK15:
you need to be careful when you use your tongue, which court will you sue him and which judge in this country is innocent and truthful enough to preside over our Oba, or do you think his throne is compared to that of the ones you mentioned, this installation is powered by the Gods except the person filling the suit does not want to see him first day in court.

Dear friend, please change your "Gods" to "gods". Thank you in anticipation.

lmao ,u re pained because the dignitaries present were too much to witness oni presence.. oni is tinubus boy and he's not relevant . if you need books, I can provide you . oni is a son and all Yoruba king ain't nothing to oba of Benin. geraraherre

Hahaha. Tell the Oba of Benin to go to Ile Ife and collect the heads of past Oba of Benin first before I know if the Oba is as powerful as the fake importance you are giving him. The wise Yoruba ancestors knew that a generation of liars will raise up one day in Benin and could shamelessly attempt to rewrite history so decided to insist that the heads Benin obas must always be returned to their home in Ile Ife ,that evidence is still standing today and future generations will see it and know that some crooks want to rewrite history.
And about the Ooni, the joke is on the late Oba of Benin and his son who obviously will believe his father as fathers boy but much pictures like the Oba of Benin flanking past Oonis, the Oba who you lied that he never leaves the palace bowing in handshake to the Queen Elizabeth,history books that far far predates the paden-like book written by the late Oba confirmed how even the appointment of Benin kings must get the ratification of a reigning Ooni and more recent contradictions in ordinary burial rites have confirmed that dubious lies in Benin tradition and history.
Na today .
Quite recently, we saw how Prof Paden 'rewrote' history on Osibanjo's recommendation, thank God all the players are still alive.
Ooni just proved to him that he's bigger and more matured. Ooni owns everything including the Oba of Benin and doesn't need to prove anything.
Finally, in Africa, heads of a corpse would be buried in his father's house, the heads of past oba of Benin were buried in their fathers house in Ile Ife.The royalty in Benin is Yoruba while others like you are probably not.

Akugbe Ventures is owned by Edo State government but controlled by Tony Kabaka whom is not even related to the palace. wats ur gain in trying to drag d name of the oba to d mud, is he behind the woes of ur obas in d west that they no longer have any significance to u guys... wats just ur problem?

Stop being garrulous with your ridiculous inanities all over here. The press statement of course is unappealing to every sane resident of Benin city especially those who have burial ceremonies already planned. But for you to bring in irrelevant issues into this is irritating. Grow up!

Thank you for putting him in his place.

paradigmshift:


bros you can lie o.....he suspended the oba with mere words. let me.tell you what happened to him., am sure you were busy farming and you didn't remember. he saw coffins at his office every time, his wife miscarriage and lost his son, swollen stomach and legs after few sittings in court. He brought his family ,mother and father to come and beg the oba but the deed has been done. he was later removed as the administrator of the state .Onyearugbulem died suddenly in a hotel room in Kaduna..let me stop there..

Navy Commander Anthony Onyearugbulem suspended Omo N'Oba and heaven did not fall. Please show me the lie in that. What you have written is a cocktails of tall tales, conjectures and unverified stories. What you're really saying is that the Oba or the Benin people used juju on the Commander. Well, that is a matter of belief and I can't deny you your right to yours. But I am not aware, and I don't believe, that the Commander saw any coffins in his office. People miscarry every day, including today. Administrators got redeployed often back then - note he was not fired from the Navy, just redeployed. Or can you show that he served a significantly shorter term than the other milads we had? And his death had nothing to do with the oba; some of the milads we had are also dead and they didn't encounter any oba.

But I think you're really saying behind all this "grammar" is that it is okay for the oba to stop you people from burying your dead. Alright. Carry go. It's your funeral, not mine.

With less than 2 weeks on the throne,no legacy or tangible achievement, you are already calling him "Great "
The foundation of your whole tradition and history is all lies and outright falsehood. That's how you dash people 'great ' in your tradition
The royalty in Benin is Yoruba but I am not sure about the proletariat like you .Quite recently, the Itsekiri Traditional Council confirmed it, and no amount of lies can rewrite history. There's no single inconsistencies about how the heads of past oba of Benin heads get buried in Ile Ife-the Kings are Yoruba.
About the Ooni, he has said nothing will stop him from closing the ranks of all Yoruba Kings including the oba of Benin.He is regarded to be a very humble,generous and accommodating King loved,admired and respected by all. He visited the Alaafin of Oyo, who is even more superior to the oba of Benin, the last time an ooni visited an alaafin was 75years ago ,he was in Ado ekiti this weekend and few months ago was in America and was recieved and hosted by the US parliamentary.How on earth would you think a King like that will decend low to the status of oba of Benin. Just think.
Finally, you address your King as Oba but denied the fact that the origin of the word 'Oba'is not Benin but Yoruba. Go and ask for the full meaning of Oba in Yoruba.

PAGAN9JA:



Ah in that case the Oba must pay those rxpenses

That's the only point I'm making. I have respect for the oba and for any of our traditions that does not harm anyone. If the oba even said you can inter the corpse but no loud music and partying while his own coronation and partying are going, I would just shrug and bother about something else. But it appears they're saying you should do what you like with your dead but don't bury it. This is strange and I'm surprised it's coming from a king who has had so much exposure.

it's your funeral and that's y you complaining, well for your information, you can bury but no ceremonies. your dead hero onyeregbulem said that he was going to suspend the oba but he did not leave to suspend him ....just the few words he read killed him...egbon u can come n sue him an let death befall you.....

Hahaha. You are a clown .
If a King should bow for you in Yorubaland, it's a curse. At no time did the Ooni curse Tinubu.
The Ooni's reign brought good tidings to the whole of Yorubaland and new beginning. Last week, the Olubadan went to visit the Alake and he,ooni physically participated in the Ado ekiti festival with the Ewi of Ekiti. The kings who don't see eye to eye before are now collaborating. That's how you know a real king.

Because you want to impress in Queen's English, you ended up embarrassing yourself. Why not employ simple words to convey your point? It is intoxicates not "intosticates."

Besides, the heads of past Oba of Benin are buried in Ile Ife because all oba of Benin are ile Ife princes, if you're right, it's the heads of past Oduduwa descendants that should be buried in Benin. Meanwhile, get it clear, it's only the Benin royalty that's fully Yoruba.Even that much has been addressed by the Itshekiri Traditional Council. The word Oba is Yoruba, stop fooling around joor

I guess when you want to take a wife, you should discard your tradition in the name of civilization? Young man quit lamenting civilization or not, history has a way of repeating itself and element of ancient custom has a way of playing out in modern era. It is the same attitude of relegating customs that is playing out in Christianity. Christian truth is now being subjected to time. Many will tell you dressing modestly is old fashion and can't be conditioned on modern man, prohibitions in the Bible are now being questioned. Like when scripture says a woman must cover her head and not preach at the altar. Today we see flagrant disobedience to these rules. Am not surprised that in the name of modernity man has become rebellious. If you don't cherish your tradition, I do mine. Am proudly Bini man.

Rick9:
Sooner or later all these customs and so called traditional would be a thing of the past.

Stop disgracing yourself by calling this Oba 'great ',he is yet to achieve anything!! That's not the training ile Ife gives his princes including the Oba of Benin.
The questions you are dodging are quite obvious. You can not accept the fact that no single Ooni's head has been buried in Benin but from time immemorial, the heads of Benin kings are buried in ile Ife because they are Ife princes.
In Yoruba, the meaning of the word Ooni is more superior than the word Oba so get the education so you will stop acting like ipob youths
Did you see the Ooni's opa one of the ooni's palace staff held in front of the Ooni at the coronation of the Oba of Benin? It was right in the face of the Oba of Benin, even when the Oba of Benin was sitting down, that Opa was fully erect,right to his face in his palace. It's a sign the ooni used to tell him that his authority is still standing in the oba of Benin palace. The Oba of Benin know this,he dare not challenge it.
