dainformant:
The newly installed Benin monarch, Oba Ewuare II, was all smiles as he was paid homage to by a white woman at his palace in Edo state. The woman prostrated before the happy Oba -to the delight of the crowd present. See pictures below;

I thought he was not meant to smile hence he covered his mouth

ifyalways:
I thought they said we ain't supposed to see the Oba's teeth reason, he and his wives use handkerchiefs to cover their mouth

That was during the coronation ceremony

Chai Nigeria,if it was blacks,he will close those teeth with 10 Handkerchief s,

Coz oyinbo people no get respect according to their culture

The word respect, is it English or your native tongue?

Besides, what is the benefit of the African form or "respect" to Africans?

Juvenile response

See them.

9ja people negative o.

What if that lady is an old friend, for a prince who studied in UK, was ambassador in many countries across Europe?

When we told people that in ceremonies, Oba & his queens, Dukes & their queens symbolically cover their mouths, many were not listeng. Their minds are so closed that they talk like robots.

Oba was having a public audience where he will also usually make a speech. How can he talk for example without teeth showing?

Things done during ceremonies are not things done on daily basis. When an Oba shows a human face, they complain. When he follows what custom demands according to occasion, people still complain.

Nigerians are very negative. We talk ourselves down too much. Nobody can take us serious if we despise ourselves so much.

Those talking of oyinbo & whether they are not humans, I have an oyinbo in-law, who by virtue of marriage to a person of position in Benin Kingdom, she has reasons to be in the palace & has met both the late Oba & late Queen Mother on occasions. And she's not even the only one.

We are all much more inter-related now than it was long ago.

The Hausas have a saying
Bowing down before a dwarf is not a show of weakness

BornStunner1:
THATS THE KIND OF RESPECT YOU GET BY SITTING MAJESTICALLY IN YOUR PALACE NOT BY JUMPING FROM ONE OWAMBE TO THE NEXT



OBA KHA TO KPEREEE......... ISEE!!!

The Oba that is jumping from one place to the next is meeting different kinds of people home and abroad and promoting his culture. He is well exposed and has met different people of different race and colours.

You Benin Oba is smiling sheepishly because an oyinbo woman bowed to greet him... lol who know whether na albino they greet am... he seem so happy like he has never seen a white person before... make him sidon put for him palace they smile for albino..

is he jesus.
this is idolatry

African inferiority complex

Now the oyinbo no smell like the locals
