You will see tomorrow na. Nobody wears him the crown he picks it up and wears it himself.


Different kings may do it differently. A Benin proverb goes: Oba m'oliha, Oliha m'oba. The exact format makes no difference.

African culture is beautiful. Oyinbos brought Christianity and Islam to make us forget who we are. How can an African man believe Jesus died for his sins in far away Israel? We seriously need to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery and go back to our roots and traditions
You are right it is beautiful, unfortunately most of it a small we now know involves the use of Incantation and sorcery. This has sadly made it unattractive and barbaric as it doesn't bring about growth, development or even improved knowledge. One the other hand we are grateful for the knowledge of Jesus as christians now know that without it we would have perished and had eternal damnation!

People like him are like walking corpses. And they are in high majority in Africa at the moment. When a man lose his culture,he let go his roots,foundation,sense of belonging and most of all,common sense. He let go his right to exist originally.

Oga nobody puts the Crown on the head of the Oba, he crowns himself. Bloggers and lies en.
Apparently you are not conversant with the process. The head of the Uzama (kingmaker) called Chief Oliha Crowns the Oba n also Announces his new name to the world.

You can't be technologically advanced if you don't have basic instinct. And that what centuries of indoctrination, colonisations and brainwashing took away from Africans.

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

He brought Modernization, prosperity and development to Benin.

With what i have seen so far, I hope this Oba will not take Benin back to its dark ages. undecided
Benin is the headquarters of Ogboni and other idolatrous powers in Nigeria. Bishop Idahosa fought hard to change the order of things in the land but today things have returned back to dark age. Only God knows what to do . You can see physical display of Ayelala & Ogun here & there.

Honestly, this one seems far less reform-minded than his father.

Uzama n'Ihiron are not king makers. It is outsiders who like to liken them to the seven hereditary oyemesi in Oyo empire. And liken Chief Oliha to Bashorun, leader of the 7 Oyemesi.

But it is wrong. Oliha symbolically crowns the Oba because he was head of Uzama n'Isen (5 senior pre-Oranmiyan chiefs) who went to bring Oranmiyan from Ife. Oloton came with Oranmiyan & joined them later. Edaiken was added even later as the 7th by Oba Ewuare the Great.

Nor mind them. I hope Abrahamic God is real BUT the oyinbo who brought it have since abandoned it mostly.

Many UK church buildings are now disco or living/residential quarters.

In my Anglican church in the heart of UK, about 90% of congregation are non-white foreigners.

The same oyinbo whose culture, beliefs & language we like to ape don't really want us to mix with them in their country.

They prefer North Africans with white skin with a different religion. Because Christianity is now just cultural & symbolic heritage to them.

But it precisely same time black man is destroying his own culture. 100 years from now, blacks will be gay all over the place & have no culture to call theirs. shocked shocked
