hmmm... The last Oba became a Christian and abolished so many fetish practises in Benin.

He brought Modernization, prosperity and development to Benin.

Nice culture and costume....If the cultural attire warrant the men to expose their upper bodies, then they should hit the gym often...So that it will look better....Those beer bottled tummy every where, even the not so old people are having did not do justice to the costume...

An Oba automatically becomes the spiritual head of all witches, wizards, ogbanjes etc. etc. in the entire land.

They are all subject to his command now and d guy is not just ordinary human anymore (so I heard)

Lol. This is so unnecessary. grin

Anyway, great to see Bini folks putting Yoruba culture/gods/crown on display. I can see the Olokun worshippers there. Olokun worship is one of the fastest growing religions in the world, especially in South America. The Brazilians are running shyte when it comes to Olokun.

How would Nigeria be great when living with Satanist who are openly practicing Satanism...
Idol worshipping would be abolish and must be abolish..
Nigeria never heal from the aftermath of FESTAC 77..
Culture/tradition is idol worshiping..
Idol worshipping is Satanism,

What they invoke is devil,

what they worship is devil,
It must be abolish..

AllTheWayUp:
The great Benin Kingdom is known for having preserved its cultural heritage and guarded it jealously over the years. Below are some very strange pictures from the coronation ceremony of the new Oba.

It was obtained from a dialogue with a source in Benin, that the festivities which is full of pomp and pageantry, are very revered.


There are myths that at some point in the cause of the coronation, the Oba and the kingmaker who is crowning him, gets to disappear and only both me would know where the crown is placed on his head.


The source who spoke under anonymity, told our correspondent that these photos are from Ogbelaka and Eguadase Royal Guilds of Benin Kingdom. The dance is called Ekassa. According to the source, the dance is done by only men dressed in white robes and they would do it daily until the coronation is over.

Here comes the extended brothers of the typically unstable afonjas with their primordial divinations in display.

They are no better than these.

Oga nobody puts the Crown on the head of the Oba, he crowns himself. Bloggers and lies en.

Actually someone symbolically does. It is chief Oliha of Benin. His palace is at Oliha Quarters in Benin. But he's not the kingmaker. It so happened he was the senior Benin chief who led others to bring Oranmiyan from Ife/Uhe. Others were Edohen, Ero, Eholor Nire, Ezomo. To make the 5 Uzama chiefs. Oloton who came from Ife with Oranmiyan later joined the Uzama. Oba Ewuare The Great added the crown prince as the 7th Uzama.

These 7 senior nobles called Uzama n'Ihiron are erroneously called the king makers by outsiders. King makers do not exist in Benin. Since no election, selection or any other politics is involved. He was crown prince from birth.

The crowning and public proclamation as King XYZ is just to fulfil tradition.

One of the few remaining indigenous African culture that is struggling to remain relevant in the fave of oyinbo domineering and colossal civilisation.

Culture is like a running river that never remains at the same spot. Always evolving with every passing time. It disappears when its upholders cease to function.
