Yes I've come across this but I think since the decapitation of the head and sending to Ife is an old tradition, the Oba of Bini can choose to pay a visit to the land of ancestors

ancestors?hahaha
so yoruba did't know their history

OrlandoOwoh:
For a long time now, there has been the argument over the true rest place of the oba (kings) of Benin. While some, mostly of Yoruba descent believe the oba's decapitated heads are buried in Ile-Ife, hence the phrase, "orun oba Ado"; those of Benin descent believe their oba are buried in Benin.
I came across this two shrines in Gbelenkan Street, Ile-Ife recently with the inscription, "Orun Oba Ado" meaning the heaven of the kings of Ado (Benin). The one to the right when coming from Oduduwa College has the drawing of the head of a Benin oba with the inscription, owhviwo (male). The one opposite it that of the female.

Ado as in Ado Ekiti?

Ado as in Ado Ekiti?

Ado was the Yoruba word for Benin.

Land grabbers at it again. You people will never learn that the benin kings are always burried in benin. You saw a shirine and so what..

you are deluded
