Greg how far..
Na Oriki I ask for.. Not attempts to legitimise Benin Kingdom supremacy...

Answer to your question...
Its the onus of the overall king or Emperor to take emblems or flags or staff of office of a lesser colony to demonstrate visible rulership or superiority!!! undecided

Stirring up someone's hornet's nest!! grin grin grin

Over three days and nobody has come up with their oriki?
We have our oriki. on two sides even. Part of it in my post years back here. But I guess this is for certain people only.

Let's wait and see.

Lol that will be foolishness

Britain won't take up nigeria flag

He should have taken the orikis of the emir of kwara, or the orikis of alafin of oyo

He took only the orikis of benin then you should know what it means, i can show you many yoruba kings who have the bini orikis as thier staff of office
But you won't see any yoruba orikis at the oba palace.......

Our benin ancestors bleeped yoruba women alot

That has to count for something if you are to be believed.. Yoruba women are exotic!! The Binis could not do without!!




On a serious note though, adopting a staff or emblem peculiar to a former independent colony or regional power is an age-old tradition of Emperors trying to show a visible confederation of states in obeisance..
The Greeks, Romans, Persians all did.

Yoruba don't deny but simply represent the history as made available through oratory literature and from evidence from artefacts.
