Is The Oba Of Benin Dead? (my Investigation) by daddynasa: 8:29pm On Mar 16, 2015
Its no longer news about the rumour concerning the death of the Oba of Benin. Here in Benin it has been since December 2014. According to our strong tradition we don't say the Oba is dead, there is a parable for that, and also the death of the Oba is usually not announced to the public until all rituals have been carried out which usually take about 3 months. we the binis have been waiting for the confirmation.
From my investigations,
<b>1</b>The USELU traditional ground was cleared and is undergoing construction (Fencing) .NB: USELU traditional ground is one of the traditional ground where a new Oba is taken during coronation. and this ground has never be cleared since i was born and am 28yrs old
<b>2</b>From announcement made by the benin traditional council and making this parable <b> ‘Uhunmwun ve Ekpen vb‎’ Ato,’ meaning the Leopard is ill in the Savannah bush</b>
<b>3</b>The council also cancelled all visit and public function by the Oba Palace
<b>4</b>From Dec to March is like 3 months.
<b>5</b>To crown it all, Remember Apostle Johnson Suleman's prophesies concerning the palace.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL

<quote>The Benin Traditional Council on Monday announced that the Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa, is indisposed, after weeks of speculation over his health.

The council, in a statement signed by its Secretary, Mr. Frank Irabor, also suspended ‎public engagements in the palace, including settlement of disputes, “until further notice.”

It, however, urged all palace chiefs and functionaries ‎to perform their “routine traditional duties as usual.”

The statement read, “It is hereby announced for the information of the general public that, in the Palace parlance, ‘Uhunmwun ve Ekpen vb‎’ Ato,’ meaning the Leopard is ill in the Savannah bush. The explanation is that Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolopkolo, Erediauwa, CFR, Oba of Benin is indisposed.

“‎Public engagements, including courtesy visits, hearing of complaints from individuals, families and communities, and in particular, complaints over inheritance and land disputes, are therefore suspended until further notice. All palace chiefs and functionaries are to note that their routine traditional duties continue as usual.”
