go and find out what happened to the former military administrator (Onyeregbulem) of Edo state during Abacha's regime...there you will understand who the Oba is...when he removed the Oba of Benin as the head of Oba in Edo state.... that was the beginning of his problem.. The man was always complaining he sees coffin in his dream... he lost a child or two before he finally died

go to the United Kingdom and see what obtains there, your kings over here have lost thier values running after politicians. Have you ever seen the queen running up and down all in the name of attending birthdays, marraiges, and other irrelevances?

The truth is apart from Benin Kingdom, almost all other traditional rulers in Nigeria have turned to mere politicians, they're even selected or elected politically so I'm not suprised.

evansjeff:
id.iot, many generations before me have lived without any reason to be cursed by the Oba, He's loving and also loved. I can't even remember the last decade something like this happened, that should make you understand (only if you have brains to) the hieght of what this man must have done.

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!

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?

Despite being from Edo state just heard this for the first time about the uneme people.

PS: are you from Edo state or that part of the state? M amazed at your knowledge of such.

What HungerBad wrote is actually the truth. When someone is been banished from a particular place in Edo State it does not implies that the person cannot stay in that same place again, it only mean that the person will not be able to do any form of business with the people of that community again as nobody can either buy or sell anything to that person. Nobody will ever attend any social events with that person again this is evident in that video as people started running away from the man immediately he was pushed out of the Palace . As for the case of Uneme in Akoko Edo, it is forbidden for anyone from my maternal village to marry someone from there.

onuwaje:

Is it that tribe that he broke a calabash on their matter over a hidden bride?

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.

Fourwinds:
ofcourse it will be story... why not verify after all the hints I gave you is less than 30 years ago

DancingSkeleton:
be mindful of what you post

figure007:
you just said something I remembered my ex said.. ..she said it's forbidden for her to marry an edo since she is edo... Edo people don't wanna marry edo especially those in city. .they can't marry themselves. ..alot of things that's wrong with that tribe self.. .Am sorry to say.. .i have edo friends though

evansjeff:
The problem with most of you is that whenever you hear the word "Oba”, you try to equate it with some ajalas in the west or some community heads in the east.

This is BENIN KINGDOM where the KING is TRULY KING.

There are only two kingdoms in the world, The UNITED KINGDOM and the BENIN KINGDOM.

Tell him. How can you come out here and say what you don't know. I pity your children The unemhe are welcome anywhere in edo State

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

acmilan1:
I detest this town n it's people.. Just too diabolical. can't wait to get a better job and leave this place for good

oyeludef:
it is a known fact dat u ppl idolize ur oba or wateve he is called, it has beclouded ur reasoning no doubt. Customary law supercedes federal law? As long as d man is a citizen of Nigeria he has every right to stay anywhere in Nigeria. How has ur idol worship helped u land fare better dan other regions in Nigeria? Rubbish. U oba is a psycho

why must you bring Yorubas into this?

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

matrixme:

You ought to keep your unenlightened beer palour thoughts away from the internet. The queen of England going to attend birthdays and other irrelevant outings?
Guess she must have been seen more than once looking into the trash cans of Londoners. Maybe you think the local kind of royalty paraphernalia is what obtains there like in Benin.
