Popular social media enthusiast, Tunde Ednut has stated that in Benin city, Edo state, governors kneels to greet the king but in other kingdoms, the king shivers before the governor.

Speaking in an Instagram post, Ednut shared a photo of Governor Godwin Obaseki kneeling before Oba of Benin...

Election things

Lol, that's is how it has always been na except he no longer needs the votes of the people who reverence the king in high regard

The documented history of the bini kingdom is over 1000 years old. Established norms and traditions that are maintained to this day

let oba of Benin do anyhow first, that is when he will know that. kneeling down by a Governor or President is just formality.

Ednut is behaving toddlish.

The mods that moved this to fp must be a tribal war Lord.

No iota of truth in the statements .Ednut is being mischievous

But Gabriel Igbenedion had serious fight with the late Oba of Benin. Igbenedion even took the Oba to court. Anyways I respect the Oba of Benin and Alaafin of Oyo. Those Kings na Deities.

I

We also respect ours.

What I believe is that no king is greater than the government, if you have a crazy governor in power he will do and un do to any king no matter the status. it might later have repercussion on him and his household but what has spoit has spoilt

Do you have a space (supermarket, Shops, Hospital, Restaurants, Hotel, Home & room e.t.c)and its important to keep away from dust, or isolates the noise or air conditioning? This is the perfect product for you.

Benin is the greatest

Greeting is different from respect... I might bow to greet you but deep inside i don't respect you... You have to earn my respect.

Hmmmmmm

This is a fallacy of hasty generalisation.

The fact that Ganduje dethroned Sanusi does not mean it applies to other kingdoms, besides it is their culture to kneel down for their King in Edo, in Yoruba land our Governors still prostrate to greet the traditional rulers

when my landlord read dis news, him just talk say make i no pay 6 months rent. lubbish, if dem like make dem lie down 4 ground dey greet demselves , na dem sabi

There's no big deal in that, we're not in the North where their monarchs' assertiveness is nothing to write home about.

u clearly don't know 5he kind of power oba of benin has..

oba of lagos,Olu of warri,obi of Onitsha, all kings in Edo and delta and some kings in rivers state are all under of benin

Not in d north they have no respect for their king

Charley, one small squabble and them go change am for am. Burn him Oracle join. Politicians no be people you fit trust at all �

Seun and co, what's the motive for bringing this to the front page. Is this an established fact or just a one-off scenario.

It seems like you guys enjoy the tribal e-war on-going on this site.

Can never happen until it happens.

Alaafin and Oba of Benin are from the lineage of Oranmiyan, the first Alaafin of Oyo-Ile ,hence both are deities!
