Igodomigodo

The sound of a passing time
Drawn in the euphoria of a beta land
A washed with wisdom of men long gone
To the waters u mortals must drink
As dimly the light shine over her

Igodomigodo
Hear, the gong clung
Calling from a distance land
To the feast flesh can't taste
The king called

Igodomigodo
Suddenly silence visits the palace
For once the parrot prayed calm
The orator called out in sorrow
Accompanied by d sonority of d flute
My father my Father
The iroko of our motherland
I called thee
The king cud hear d resounding echo
He remembered his people
Made a dash towards d flute
The way he had done in time gone
He came around called to them
Sat by the queen spoke to her
But none cud hear him
Alone against his norm
He wept as he watched them gather
Over his copy so stale
His people so sad
For beyond d Rubicon he's crossed
Still his body lay
Regalled in Royalty
Frailed in mortal fragility
He waved so long

Rest on


Our footprints in the liveS of all we touched while on earth we tread is d only lagacy we live behind


My Quiet Quill

If you witnessed what happened in 1979, have you seen same happened/happening now?

To answer your question, no i was not born then. I'm not sure my dad knew of my mom existence then.

Ever since I was a kid I have always respected the Benin Kingdom because of the way the people hold the oba in high esteem. The respect for the oba is just beyond my understanding. As a young boy growing in the city of Benin I always thought of the oba as an extra ordinary being. And even as I grew up this view didn't change.

The Binis don't question what the oba says. That's just not what you see nowadays where people talk back at their traditional rulers. I can assure u that the average Benin man respects the oba more than the president any time any day.

I'm proud to be an Edo man. Goodbye Omo ñ oba. You have been a blessing to your people. You have preserved the Benin culture the way we wish you would.

He should have left politics alone and just concentrate on eulogising the Oba. There was no need to politicise the oba's death by him recanting his achievements and in the process roping in the Oba.
The Oba was apolitical, that's why he was respected, Oshiomhole should not drag the Oba to ridicule.

Oba of benin is second to none. His throne is far above his contemporaries. He is never nominated by any man, like the owanbe obas.

Shoutout to all non indigenes in Benin,mind your movements,abeg. grin

No shakes oga.....

Oba died around november last year and he has since been buried... According to the tradition, his death is to be announced officially after some months, that's why they are just announcing it....

The coronation process of the crown prince edaiken n uselu has since begun... If you have any doubt check out his palace opposite uselu park..

Live your life bro
