You're wrong my good friend, the greatest and most civilized black empire in medieval era was the Songhai Empire.

Honestly, this one seems far less reform-minded than his father.

A son should know better than the father,not the other way round.

We are duty bound to correct the mistakes of our fathers and polish it up for the nest generation to build on.

places like this hardly develop, wre ever too much juju, and fetish practice abound, will always b primitive

One thing still stands as regards tradition.

AS LONG AS A CERTAIN TRADITION CANNOT ADD PROGRESSIVE VALUE TO THE LIVES OF IT'S FOLLOWERS, IT WILL SURELY FADE AWAY.

IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

When I say tradition, I mean all forms of tradition, culture and religion.

Bros, if you love your 'culture' go and embrace your masquerade since he's part of you and give the Shamman (chief priest) ostrich eye, elephants milk blah blah. Most African cultural display involves a lot of sorcery but you are enjoying social media and cell phones things that your culture couldn't give you!

When a people culture dies,so goes their language,precedences,norms,morals and their right to humanity. They become absorbed into the wider society they have no game plans for. They become hapless zombies,just like today's Africans.

Strange? I see colourful culture at play

Re: Strange Scenes From Coronation Of Oba In Benin Kingdom. by redsun(m): 10:56pm On Oct 19, 2016

People tend to mistake culture for fetish practices and witchhunting.

But it not,it is just a way of life that is subject to change,innovations, alterations and norms that stands the test of time.

You are very right.

I think what really happens is that when a certain people are shown/introduced to a way of life/thinking that is different from theirs and from all indications a lot more progressive than theirs, they tend to jump ship.

It could not have being a bad idea but for the fact that there was no game plan in the former culture.

For the most of us in this thread and in the society who are always clamouring that we do not abandon our culture, I got some questions for you.

What progressive development have these cultures given us?

What form of economic, social , political and technological advancement have these cultures instilled in us?

If we were truly left to ourselves to move to the future along with the rest of the world, what would we exactly be moving on with?

hmmm... The last Oba became a Christian and abolished so many fetish practises in Benin.

He brought Modernization, prosperity and development to Benin.

With what i have seen so far, I hope this Oba will not take Benin back to its dark ages.

I think Benin is at its darkest time since Oranmiyan. It's been in its dark age since 1897
