“Oba no dey go transfer”.

This is a popular Edo adage that has suffered enormous misinterpretations.

This literal adage has been misinterpreted to mean that the Oba of Benin does not travel outside his domain.

However, because we are a people who pay little attention to history, we conveniently missed several events in the pasts where successive Obas of Benin traveled outside their domain.

For instance, in April 2004, the late Royal Majesty Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa I, was in Lagos to launch the controversial book, “I Remain, Sir, Your Obedient Servant” – a book he authored.

Indeed, history is replete with events where different Obas of one of the world’s most outstanding cultures had sojourned outside their kingdom.


Oba Ewuare O’Ngidigan II, The Oba of Benin

Oba Ewuare II, currently superintends over one of the world’s most glorious cultures. Therefore, to aide his very rare movements, he acquired for himself a vehicle befitting of his revered status.

In 2016, the University of Wales and Rutgers University-trained Oba Ewuare II acquired a brand-new 2016 Rolls Royce phantom.

A quick research shows that an average Rolls Royce Phantom costs about N150million ($417,825).

Oba Ewuare II, who was the former Nigerian ambassador to Italy, Angola and Sweden, with accreditation to Norway, Denmark and the Republic of Finland is definitely a man that can seamlessly integrates cultural elegance with modern style.

Oba gha tor kpere, Ise.

That’s was when they were overhyping him.He has already pay homage to his father(oni).Transfer indeed

oba has the right and power to break any rules governing Benin empire......

Do we need a $300k car for a monarch in a community where children are dying of malaria and thyfoid..till we begin to see what's wrong with how the elites have manipulated us..I see no hope for everyone of you including the same elite..

There's a saying that what goes around comes around..the Oba of Benin shouldn't be moving around in anything more than Toyota Sequoia..enough said

Tradition is gradually going off. That one called ooni that travels like olosho nko?

Only my village king nai no get phantom

what the adage simply means is that

an Oba would remain head of a single culture until he dies or leaves office. Obas dont get redeployed between communities or transferred like personnels

most revered oba,

And it is not even bullet-proof..

Well, it's always been like that for African royalties. Making a statement with wealth that is not evident in the lives of their subjects.
