Opharhe:
Yes. Just like the crown of Oyo, Katsina, etc. Do you know Awolowo's western region govt. Dethroned a seating Alaafin? Surprised right? Nigeria is a federal REPUBLIC. All the crowns are subject to the Nigerian states. That is the plain fact.

mrvitalis:
Nigerian government need to do a lot of sensitisation of it people, this mass ignorance is getting too much

They don't know the governor can appoint any body as oba of Benin and nothing will happen? ?

Read they won't

OrlandoOwoh:

You're ignorant. Didn't the then Governor of Edo State, Capt. Ibe Onyearegbulem suspend the Oba of Benin?

I was surprised too,my grandma never mentioned that part to me,but that Ogun part got me laughing, hehehehe ivbiédo, wa tié Ogun gbe

perryy:


Keep ur stinking mouth shut. Even the white men that moved ovomamen to calabar wanted to appoint obaseki as the Oba bit they were vehemently resisted till they respected the law of the land by allowing the His first son to succeed him . Ordinary governor can't do what the white men couldn't do. [/b]Ask Oyalegbulem what he saw in Benin when he suspended the Oba.[b] Do you think this is one of yoruba obas?

Complete the story, please. How did he and his family end up? Are you aware that he begged to be and was carried down in his helpless pitiable condition to seek Oba's forgiveness? Obaship is by Divine right. Go read up before running around with half distorted moonlight tales.

peacecoy:
The system we have in Nigeria is that if Edo state governor do not accept the person forwarded to him by the traditional council or whatever new oba of Benin cannot emerge nor function! punchline is that Edo state governor can REMOVE the Benin monarch if the situation warrant. meanwhile Benin people go emotional as much as they want it doesn't, change anything

OrlandoOwoh:

In around 2010, Governor Mimiko of Ondo State dethroned the Deji of Akure for beating the Queen.

neocortex:

And you just contradicted yourself,
in this current dispensation the oba has no real power,
apart from the oba appointed chiefs, there are no positons
subservient to the oba.
It is important you separate history from current happenings.

What do you think will happen if the government fails to approve
the oba's appointment

OrlandoOwoh:

Was the Oba suspended or not?

ogmask:


It is a misnormal, not in Benin. In Benin the king is born. The crown Prince is an Oba in waiting with or without govt staff of office. You can only talk of appointment when the throne is not hereditary. If you read that portion the ARABIAN quoted, you will discover that govt do not appoint traditional rulers, they only recognise.
The making of an Oba in Benin is an age long tradition that even politics cannot alter.
Some went to school but they lack basic comprehension, of which if not well managed can lead to chaos.

I just dey observe..... Adams oya come and tell them the meaning of your name

Most of we Nigerian youth lack knowledge of the constitution. So these these Edo youth do not know that the Governor has the right to appoint a king?

Very funny.A King that's a tenant of the Ogiame?

Its been proven again. The best historical secrets are revealed when the Royal fathers bicker or jostle publicly (often on newspaper pages, and in the legal courts) for power, or for the throne . The current race to wear the Bini crown sees a Bini version of history agreeing with Yoruba history . This version has Oranmiyan visiting Benin and establishing a new ruling house, as the Yoruba have always maintained. By the way, Oranmiyan, was a grandson ofOduduwa, the great Yoruba warrior king deity. His father was Okanbi, Oduduwa’s only son Oranmiyan was one of 16 grandchildren, which are named in this partial family tree . The Yoruba hold that Oranmiyan bore a son with a Bini woman, and this son was the first Oba of Benin. More recently there’s been a new and controversial claim from some Bini quarters that it was the other way round and Oduduwa was a runaway Bini slave who founded Ile Ife, and who later sent his son/grandson to rule in Benin!
“The Ekiokpagha treaty is the compulsory rent a new Oba-elect must pay before he is pronounced an Oba of Benin kingdom and before he is also allowed occupation of the Benin kingdom leased to Oba Eweka 1 by Ogiamien Erebo in 12.00AD.” “The Ekiokpagha treaty clearly defined the status of Ogiamien as aborigine and permanent landlord while the Oba of Benin kingdom as a permanent tenant,”
High Chief Monday Wehere, director of information and external affairs of the Ogiamien family said on Tuesday.
“The Ogiamien is the custodian of the 32 previous Ogisos that had ruled Igodomigodo and the aborigine Binis for over 300 years before the forceful introduction of obaship against the decision of the aborigine Binis while the Oba of Benin (the family) are descendants of the sixth Ooni of Ife, Oba Oranmiyan, the son of Okanbi. “Therefore, it would be difficult for Ogiamien to pledge allegiance to an invader – Oba of Benin – who is also a tenant,” “Oba Eweka dynasty has no relationship whatsoever with the Ogiso/Ogiamien dynasty and they are now forcing themselves into our dynasty by fraudulently claiming that Prince Eheneden Erediauwa is now the 70th ruler of Benin kingdom.”
“This is completely false. THEY ARE DESCECEDANTS OF ORANMIYAN ,” In bolded above is what the Yoruba tradition has always stated.The practice of sending the heads of demised Oba of Bini to Ile Ife was apparently stopped in a bid to hide the history it has been claimed . History can never be re-written.

There is so much you do not know. This is Bini issue, ask or look away.

dukie25:


Nothing would happen if Oshiomhole fails to recognize the new Oba.
If Oshiomhole refused to recognized the new Oba good but he can't make any other person Oba as long as the first son is alive.
You can't have another Oba when the Oba is alive, the son can only ascend the throne at the demise of his father.

Only Benin chiefs can stop the enthronement of Prince Eheneden from being made the Oba of Benin.
The sultan of Sokoto was dethroned for disagreeing with government, that can't happen in Edo state.

Lastly, the power of the Oba is not what is in dispute here but appointment.

Get enlightened, the ascension to Bini Obaship cannot be influenced by anyone including your president.

saintdennis:


ROTFL... even the esama that had issues with the late oba know wetin him eye see., he used every tool available to beg until he was pardoned.

Now any governor that ever tries to remove a sitting oba won't last 7days on earth. Him and his family.

Only a bini man knows what I mean

OBAGADAFFI:


Duh,

All and what happened to once that has tried it .

ojuu4u:


is benin not part of nigeria? Unfortunately, u ar victim of what u quoted. U lack basic comprehension of consitiution. Let me tel u bitter truth. A sitting governor is the boss of all kings in his state. Benin kingdom inclusive

WiseBully:


His son takes over. It's hereditary, father to son. Bini traditional institution is more well-defined and structured than the Nigeria system.
