symbianDON:
he can only curse those who can be cursed sha

Sampalo:

Keep fooling yourself, is your Oba God? The man will have a better life free from the fetish way of the Tradition.

TINALETC3:
Wat did he do?
Wat happened to forgiveness?
Do dey stl banish pple in dis modern age

orjaha:
should we call this culture?

HungerBAD:
This is serious.

Although i am not Benin,but i have a very strong respect for the Benin Monarchy.

What we just witnessed is a rarity,and as regards tradition,something very powerful.

The curse the palace placed on the people of Uneme (In Akoko Edo)still follows them more than a 100 years later.

And that is why in Edo State,they are referred to as the "Rejected People" and no other Edo Tribe gets married to them.

Just curious,has his offense been made public?

oyeludef:
nOly in a lawless society can this happen. Banishing in dis age and time. It is against our constitution, he is a citizen of Nigeria and has all the right to live any where he chooses. Probably the Oba is not aware his position is ceremonial nd can be removed by the government.. Abacha did it to sultan of sokoto.
Hipocrites on d thread are already taking sides with their oba cos he is their god. rubbish.. Ordinary human being dat can die like his father at any time. His father was very well learned and respected.

meliziz12:
Could you imagine,banishing a human with sins just like you are because stupid society made you bigger then him,probably he became the Oba with money or appointed from the federal government,,crap!

meforyou1:
but igbinedion fought oba in benin and came out victorious naa. forget that thing. i can even engage the oba in a physical combat in ring road benin and nothing will happen

HungerBAD:


They were guns or ironsmiths and according to folklore,they sold weapons to the enemies of Bini Kingdom and so were banished.

The Uneme people are very touchy about this subject,and ironically they have the most beautiful ladies in Edo and it is either a man from their place marry them or a stranger from outside Edo.

But never any tribe from Edo State.

Baawaa:
The monarch should place curses on all corrupt politicians also

Bizibi:
Not in Benin kingdom!!! This one is good,you don't dare go against his grandfather who was the oba in 80's.that seat is strong.

tellwisdom:
But I can't find oba amongst these actors

gozie112:
Very responsible oba,,not like those yahoo yahoo oba wey full Yoruba land...everything about Yoruba pple na eye service.... Nonsense

naijaboiy:

Oga keep quiet! Do you think the people of Benin have lost their traditional values like where you come from?

If your people don't follow your traditional laws it's nobody's fault. The Benin kingdom still exists fully and the traditional laws are adhered to strictly.

People still go to the Oba to settle disputes among them. Stop bringing constitution into this matter.

Constitution that cannot solve your country's biggest problems when your president travelled out of the country for 100 days leaving his administration confused.

Leave the bini people to do what they want. Besides the oba didn't go against the constitution as you speak. There is something called customary law.

Educate yourself before you embarrass yourself on a public forum like this!

tubolancer:
The curse and suffering in this country and Africa is enough for an Oba to add another one.

yeyeboi:
If the OBA cannot curse the bad politicians then he is not serious yet

tellwisdom:
But I can't find oba amongst these actors

Nellybii:
