.. Heads will roll
RIP to those who died for the Oba to be buried

May his soul rest in peace. He waz a great and gud Oba.

I think he died around March last year

Oba of Benin does not die. Awua!

When the Oba of Ife died they said he transcended, hope the Oba of Benin did same too because people in those lands don't believe that their Oba is a human and can die!

Anyway RIP Oba

RIP to the Oba.

A man is over 90 and they are saying he died of unknown illness, is it not obvious he died of old age

abokoku's

hope say d spelling correct

obas dont use to die according to some yoruba friends

we know na. i saw the new Oba walking round the market last month with heavy security. i guess that was one of the initiation rites

Benin tradition is still the strongest in Nigeria. everything was done accordingly since when rumor was flying that the man was dead. with this announcement you will think he just died.

may his soul rest in peace

They just concluded the burial rights

that's sad but life well spent i guess.

Okay

Once it's appointed for a man to die, and after death comes judgement... R. I. P

How many times oba won die ni
