E pain am after mumu run go Google come see say na true. Fool thought he'd be seeing Christians population like 98% grin Olodo
The reason why Isreal is there is because Jesus is from Isreal and isrealites are beloved people of God according to your Bible so common sense is that they should be obedient and believe in Jesus grin
But no, they rather remain Jews because they're not as daft as people like you grin

If I ever denounce my religion today, CHRISTIANITY is the last religion I can ever practice because it's the most Senseless of all.

The Bible is so filled with errors and contradictions. The book was written by drunkards (peter paul and co according to your Bible)
The Bible that doesn't even know the shape of earth.
In the 12th century, people were even killed if they say that the earth is not FLAT. BECAUSE THE BIBLE TOLD US THAT THE EARTH IS FLAT...
I know u are Muslim. As a Muslim, u don't have any moral right to insult Christianity because your own religion was copied from Christianity. Your religion is worst when it comes to contradiction and stupidity. Your religion is the least rational religion in this world. The most wicked and brutal religion in this world.. The most troublesome and hateful religion. Your religion is filled with hypocrisy. Don't come and use taqqiya for me by lying to save Islam. I was once a christian and also was once a Muslim. Christianity is still better in some standard than Islam. Islam is a cult. Take it or leave it.

HRM Oba Akenzuwa II saw his father. infact he worked for his father Oba Eweka II who did not have any form of western education. This present Oba, HRM Oba Ewuare II spent considerable time with his father Oba Erediauwa whenever he was in Nigeria this was because he had not been installed as the Edaiken N'uselu. HRM Oba Ewuare was formerly made Ediaken when his father's joined his ancestors. Although this was not the practice in those days. back then the Father would be alive and his son would already be reigning as Edaiken, but the Obas had to find a way round the system so that they can at least give the crown prince some of thier administrative skills in these mordern times. So till the crown prince is made Ediaken, he can see his father. Umoghun a tokpere.....Ise!!!

Put more succinctly Oba Akenzua II was the secretary to his father Eweka II which meant they were seeing each other before he was made Edaiken of Uselu.

In those days, Uselu was a village outside Benin until recently where you can't distinguish Uselu from Benin. The story was that Edaiken was a very powerful Benin warrior who had only female children and lived with all of them at Uselu. In one of the most turbulent wars Benin fought to conquer territories, the Oba requested that the Edaiken go to battle but he hesitated and requested from the Oba who would protect his wives and children? The Oba requested that he would send his Son (the crown prince) to live with them until he comes back from war. Unfortunately, the Edaiken never made it back and from then till this day, it has always been a tradition for the heir to the throne (crown prince) to be made edaiken of Uselu and would be allowed to live at Uselu.

Yes it's true they don't see regularly, but modernity has crept slowly into some of our traditions, but still dey will not see as regular father and son, in Benin Kingdom the prince has where he rules and a palace of his own, this palace is built after his father dies and is then demolished after he has been crowned as the Oba'a. Right now even the prince already has a crowned prince after him but has not been announced.

The tradition is still there. He is not allowed to come close to the oba. In the pictures don't you see him staying in one corner. And he does not stay in the same compound or palace with his father. He most go away to his own palace and stay there until the oba dies

If I was to judge going buy what is written in your old testament, I'll say your Bible and religion is the most stupìd, cruel and illogical of all religion in the world. Fact!

And don't try to play smart by telling of the so-called new testament and the old is not relevant.
In the bible Jesus said he hasn't come to destroy the laws but to fulfill them so don't be stupìd.

Thank you bros.
Before some pple come here to demand for the head of my brother here, he meant Oba Akenzuwa II was secretary to his father Oba EWEKA II......One thing about the palace is that they keep most of thier practice secret, this makes people to go about thinking whatever thier brains can. Even when Eweka II was made Oba, most palace activities took place in the night and the colonial authorities accused him of humam sacrifices....this made the Oba shift most of the activities to noon. Yet they still run some stuffs in the night. There were many rights done during the coronation that cameras weren't allowed to see and only selected few amongst the numerous chiefs had access to.
