that's a long list,but how we translate it to naira.
Anyway where is this boy, Chinedu ! Print this page,make I keep record of the materials wey no dey move market for Benin.

Proudly Bini.... I love my culture n tradition!!!

What of those corporate executives that pay visits to the Oba's palace?
Or governors and their entourage?

You mean their protocol advisors always get it right?

I don't visit anywhere there are many dont's especially the traditional dont's to avoid doing one of the dont's and having to buy one transgendered cow for sacrifice.

The gods are known to demand the impossible.

JohnnySarz:
Ok na.. na u we go chop tonight...

lol. Try am. My skin go rearrange ur dentition.

Pls can anybody furnish me wit how d Oba is pick cos a friend once told me dat d first child must be a male and he must not see his father(d Oba) cos he his going to be the next Oba and all Oba or aspiring Oba must not see dead body.

dubylhover:
wow...spooky,i also heard that d oba does not see his 1st born whn he is born..hw true is that

true

Atlantian:
It appears to me, that traditions and taboos in Africa where designed out of ignorance, fear and illiteracy. But what baffles me is how educated people actually decide to respect and worship ignorant and illiterate traditions.

You will even see a so called educated Benin indigene insulting others who dare challenge the barbaric and silly tradition.

In 21 century, when other countries are getting rid of taboos that are discovered to be false, in Africa the reverse is the case. we have Obas and so called Kings that are custodians of these ancient instrument of ignorance and fear as a weapon of control and intimidation.

What do we call a person who tells others not to use umbrella when it rains, and he is the only one to use umbrella ?

What do you call a person who doesnt allow his wives (note 'wives') to embrace any other man, not even her own father and brother ? Is that not a mark that he is afraid that a more capable man can take his wives ?

When Africa is ready to accept knowledge and shun tradition and religion, we will invent something better than foo-foo and okro soup.

So somebody resurrecting after three days is science & knowledge? An illiterate suddenly becoming a prolific writer of an influential religious book is scientific, bah?

A woman and her son driven into the desert and the well of Zamzam suddenly appearing from no where is a sound geological knowledge?


If they told you that one small girl in Ile-Ife 2000 year ago was made pregnant by God (no sex o) and delivered a devine baby boy, will you believe it?


It appears we are prepared to accept 100% any foreign superstition and condemn ours. Shame.

Mogidi:


You're right, it helps to stop the first born who is incidentally the heir apparent from killing his father and becoming king.

wow,is that benin throne so intoxicating that a son wud kill his pops?buh if d son isnt around,hw wud he learn d norms nd culture

chowlade:
similar to yoruba Oba's palace.

Yeah.

Plenty rules abound......

Upnepaa:
What about farting

Habaaa

Just tradition, its been like that for centuries, can't see it being changed.

I am not a good Christian, neither do I believe in the silly story of immaculate birth. So stop defending your stupid traditions and assuming I am silly too. I am not a believer. what ever is provable is knowledge-based, anything that is fictitious connotes a belief system. I believe in nothing, what ever I know is not a belief. Belief is blind trust.

So believing in nothing now makes you feel superior to others?

Atheistic boko haram.

You're now omniscient to the point of knowing all. Are you not arrogating too much to yourself?

Clap for yourself.

You're really a kid. A badly brought up one for that matter, to e-insult people you don't even know.

People don't go very far with that. Not a curse but nemesis.

Oba is palace-ridden,hence the phrase:'oba no dey go tranfer'.

Oba is not allowed to see the crown prince.oba ll never see his first son....its a taboo

DancingSkeleton:
na maggot go lay eggs for DAT ur mouth

After Dem don feast on. U abi? Ediot... U never go Libya?

obaataaokpaewu:

Lies from poorly informed people. Oba does see first son.

The dad of current Oba (Akenzua II) as crown prince was secretary to his own dad (Eweka II).

Prince Charles doesn't live in Buckingham palace, it doesn't mean he doesn't see Elizabeth II.

Crown prince lives in Edaiken palace at Uselu upon reaching maturity, doesn't mean he doesn't see his dad. Before maturity, he typically will live in the palace.

The current Oba read Law at Cambridge university and the current crown prince was Nigerian Ambassador to various countries in Europe.

These are highly educated and well-travelled people, who try to marry tradition with modernity.

You are mad. The life you are dreaming to live, I lived it years ago and I believe you wont even make it here in a lifetime. What the Bleep do you mean by insulting people ? Who is insulting who ? An Oba that insults a whole benin people by telling them not to use umbrella under rain and sun, but he is the only to use ? Arant nonsense.
