So Oba of Benin too will embark on thank you visits. grin
Where are all those Benin people that were criticizing Ooni for doing same? Some of them even said Oba no dey comot for palace.
Go back to topics posted over a year ago.

In there I corrected many that his departed father visited my town & I still vividly remember him in my relative's palace during the thank you visit. He began it in Bendel State of then.

The current Oba has already done a tour of Benin-speaking areas of Edo State.

I also pointed out that his father visited up to Sokoto. He visited every part of Nigeria. The late Oba was particularly intrigued by the royal court practices in Owo/Olowo Royal Palace, how close to Benin Royal palace practices they were. I also wrote that I had several relatives in his entourage back then. I was a kid but I remember everything. Even the Oba's car, attire, ocassion, etc. Perhaps re-enforced by pictures taken then.

Oba Erediauwa even included some details of the nationwide thank you visit in his autobiography "I Remain, Sir, Your Obedient Servant".

I also confidently said that the current Oba would do same in good time.
Just because a Benin person says something on social media does not mean he knows the facts.

There have also been topics about how the crown prince does not see the Oba. I also rubbished that assertion. I gave a clear example how Oba Akenzua (reigned 1933 to 1979), the King's College Lagos educated crown prince then was secretary to his own father Oba Eweka II (reigned 1914 to 1933). Akenzua personally read the manuscript of Chief Dr. Jacob Egharevba's "A Short History of Benin" to his father before it was published in the early 1930s. He could not have done so if both were forbidden to see.

What really happens is that once the first son is invested as crown prince (Edaiken n'Uselu) upon attaining maturity, he's then required to officially move into Edaiken Palace at Uselu, a village just outside ancient Benin Walls & Moats, but today actually has grown to be contiguous with Benin.

No be your fault.

The people that made oba of bini that produces 2 teaspoon of oil chairman over communities in states that produce millions of barrels of crude oil are the ones I blame.

oba on tour.
as much as we love to respect our cultural heritage, the traditional stool is now inferior to political stool in nigeria of today.
irrespective of the esteem attached to any traditional ruler, a commissioner for local govt and chieftaincy title has power to rubbish such stool even if na the king nominate am.
oba, enjoy your tour jare.
btw, ajimobi don scatter tinz for ibadan, constituted authority himself.
If you are a king in any state of nigeria, kindly respect yourself, dont mess with an idiot like constituted authority.

Oya, go and use your head to hit the nearest available pillar.

Infact, no be your fault too, you Igbos don't have any respect or regards for your traditional rulers, that's if you even have one.

Read the article. He is going to Abuja on a thank you visit. No one can question a king about protocol in his own palace.

Oba Erediauwa did the same thing after he was coronated.....i think it was even 3 years after his coronation he started his thank yoi visit and i watched one of the videos where he gave a speech in one of the emir's palace. who says the oba doesn't leave his palace....did he not launch his book in Lagos ( Oba Erediauwa ) infact he even attended one of his daughter's wedding in a church...i think the eldest daughter or so...although it was the first time and probably his last before he transcended. The difference with our monarch is that you will not see him in pple's marriages or occasions....he barely even attends coronation of other first class kings. There is no harm if he embarks on a thank you visit...he has already done that in Edo state and when he is done with that of this country that would probably be his last tour to somewhere else outside his palace trust me except maybe Holy Arousa or circumstance calls for it.......

Thank you bros.....not only the Benin speaking area but the other areas...was it not on this same nairaland that his majesty's visit to edo north was posted when the first rain of the year fell in that region. He visited my place Ekpoma 2 months ago for the same reason and i even watched the video when our enijies ascribed the appearance of the sun and moon side by side in the day time to his visit and the onojie of opoji reaffirmed the position of HRM as the father of all edo monarchs and our onojie promised HRM that it wouldn't rain and God willing it didn't.

Oh thanks. I did not even know that he has travelled that far already.

A large number of Benin monarchs over the centuries had Esan mothers.

Not today have those pretty ladies from that zone been highly desirable for marriage. cheesy grin
