deepwater: Yoruba's and Hausa's were the first to inhabit "AJASE" (which is a place in Porto-novo) when the civil war started the likes of ojukwu wanted to create Biafra in the same land ALJASE that gave them shelter. |

paranorman: Was shown some of the Yoruba alphabet created by oduduwa but we weren't allowed to take pictures of it for some reasons best know to them. Ouidah (the snake island) will be the next place I'll be visiting. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Like I said before it was a palace before it was transformed to a museum in 1976 when the 25th king died (ROI DÈ GBEFFA- 1946-1976) he had nine sons and they fought for the throne creating bloodshed, people started trooping in to steal some of the artifacts. The Government of Bénin republic intervened and transformed it to a museum. |

They can only see their husband for just 21 days out of 3years,is it by force to marry king |

Kemimarch16: Lemme break it down. The king married 112 wives. So in order to satisfy them the best way he can, 2wives come to stay with him for 21 days after their stay another two comes (a turn by turn thingy) so before it gets to the turn of some of them it can take up to 3years 1 Like |

Rosella1: Op good work,Please can you explain this part for me , If the king DIE on the battle field, so they will still expect him to come home and commit suicide again? |

0ntruth: When the king goes to war or battle, if he doesn't conquer his enemies or die in the battle field. When he comes back home, the people expect him to visit THE ROOM OF DEATH (which is the tradition) to commit suicide as a sign of honour because he didn't win the war. |
