I really get confused about Africans.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Oba Of Benin the head of a traditional institution that is supposed to be the one of the last CUSTODIANS and REPOSITORIES Of African culture and Traditions ?

Isn't the church, as a counter Institution, the very opposite, the enemy, the nemesis of African Culture and Tradition ?

I really do not understand the confused state of the African mind.

Every place of worship is not a church. This place is the traditional place of worship for the Benin monarch. It is not a Christian church.

HungerBAD:
Nice one.

Your reign, just like that of the OBI of Onitsha shall bring prosperity to your people.

Look to the EAST my Brothers.

With all due respect,

The Oba of Benin is just a confused fool.

Two days ago he was in shrine,
Yesterday he was with Tagbo's murderer,
Today he is in a church.

Our God can not be mocked.

ur fada ur mother all ur generation are confuse fools

martineverest:
keep deceiving ur self because u hear d word church.... It's Bini traditional church.... Dey practice Benin religion there

Okay

sirBLUNT:
OBA too dey go church?

Oba is head of Benin traditional church like Queen Elizabeth is head of the Anglican church. The Holy Aruosa is probably one of the oldest cathedrals in West Africa. Centuries old. Oba Orhogbua of Benin (reigned from 1550 to 1578) was trained in Portugal and became a Christian. His father Oba Esigie even joined his ancestors when he (Orhogbua) was in Portugal. Upon returning and becoming king, he wanted to make it a purely Christian monarchy like Portugal. But the powerful nobles/chiefs of Benin resisted.

Aside the King of Axum/Ethiopia, he became one of the earliest Sub-Saharan African Christian kings.

Yes, our education system sucks. It teaches hardly any proper history.

if u see that church fear nor go let u enter, is a traditional church

holy aruosa : the church for real men. 90% animism, 10% Catholicism : so automatically it is a shrine.

Open Free Masonry

Hmmm. Be ye not deceived!

The word Aruosa in Bini means the eye of God and the practice in that church ain't Christianity but Bini tradition and the Oba is GO

The word 'Church' is synonymous to Christianity not Idolatry.

you and the idiots liking your comment are the bigger fools here and your ignorance is appalling.. The Holy Aruosa is the Oba's church and he is more or less the GO there.

HungerBAD:
Nice one.

Look to the EAST my Brothers.

compare the number of the free mason guys standing with the obi and the Oba and drawn the conclusion on the one who is well respected

OP, your head dey there!

Nice!

Were you at the palace grounds? And, you missed the motorized carriage of the Omo'Noba.

What about the revelers who withstood the heavy downpour to honor their monarch?

People comment on things they don't really understand... HOLY ARUOSA Church is not a conventional church

Are you of the mystic tie? Let me know if I've identified a brother on Nairaland

When people comment on issues they have no idea of, they either expose their ignorance or their biasness. Word of advice to empty skulls. Take the effort to search out anything and avoid preconceived notions.

Still more pictures

You are the confused fool here.
What do you know about the monarchical system of the great benin kingdom?
For you to use such insultive words against a reverend monarch shows that you are the type that beat their parents in public

I still laugh at that one fool who claimed that Jesus Christ was his father.

Anyway, I'm glad that they keep making a mockery of themselves. At least we can all see that these are two thoroughly useless, dishonest institutions.

The church is the church for obas. It is purely a traditional church and not a Christian church

That is not a church. It is called Holy Arousa. The poster labelled it wrongly.
It is the traditional worship center of all Obas from his forefathers.

Oba gha' to Kpere.
