oba of Lagos is under oba of Benin...'eko' is an Edo word that was given to lagos.lagos was part of Benin kingdom
Which Lagos is under Benin kingdom, you better wash your eyes because it seems like you are still sleeping.

is it not the same Benin kingdom that ibadan spanked in Ondo around late 1800?

That the first oba of lagos came from Benin doesn't mean Oba of Lagos is under Benin kingdom.

In Lagos, 90% of kings are directly under one of Ife.

It is not only the Federal Government paying the Oba of Benin, it is United Nations paying him. Village boy. Your Oba is an employee of the Edo State Government and both him, his land and his subjects are properties of the Edo State Government.

Here is Oshiomhole giving him his staff of office. Hope you saw the cloth Oshiomole wore?

Here is another picture of your Oba seated at the back of other rulers when traditional rulers are seated according to ranking.



the oba arrived last and he is decent enough not to struggle positions with the Ooni who collects offerings from a small church in London - The Ooni who attends children birthday in New Jersey- or the Sanusi who was given a slime upper cut by Ganduje

If Osho replies the Oba of Benin in a disrespectful way, he surely will be disowned by his own mother

The dwai dwai tailor Oshiomole who kneels down to greet the Oba of Benin knows his place in Edo state so no need to talk too much

he presented the staff of office as constitutionally mandates not because Oshiomole is anything superior - be guided!

The oyo empire was beaten black and blue by women from dahomey when they try to pass their boundary.

oyo was great at subjugating fellow Yoruba groups

It never in its history ever attempted to expand towards Benin.

Even the civilisation, system of government and culture of Benin is far superior to whatever yoruba had to offer.

A fellow Yoruba man did not establish Benin.
That is Yoruba fable not Benin history.
@ emboldened

Oyo defeated Dahomey, Bariba and Ashanti in Togo.

Oyo did not subjugate other Yoruba groups, the only Yoruba groups Oyo fought was Owu kingdoms

Dahomey raided Ketu, Idanasa(both in Benin republic) not Oyo for slaves after it won its independence back from a weak Oyo.

The so called women warrior were not involved in Capture of slaves but catered to the needs of men in war front.


if you must know

Ibadan beat the hell out of Fulani and still went ahead to defeat the Benin Kingdom in Ondo and Ekiti.

Ibadan raided Benin kingdom for slaves in 1900 century.


Your knowledge of history is wack.

Did God send u to go and start insulting traditional rulers.....or even ur elders...I am a Christian too...but aside from the fact that the oba is a king he is also an elder....so after abusing him and disrespecting his authority you want to hide with giues of serving God...will a servant of God insult a king and a traditional father of the land.....the Oba is under Jesus Christ but he is still to be respected.....oga be warned

Shey na babangida abi na abacha comot sultan of sokoto so who the Bleep is Oba of Benin!? Na so dem talk say sanusi can’t be deposed where is he today


for a military coup to happen and be successful- there must be a general feeling of anger in the land and a good replacement for the government you are replacing


so is the removal of a traditional ruler - if the people are not angry with their king and there is no replacement for the king because the culture of the people forbids anyone else but the king must be king - how do you dethrone such a king in Independent Nigeria?


if 2 million Bini people with one voice match to Abuja in protest causing mayhem - will any president wish to see that happen ?


don’t you know these are things political leaders put into consideration before they announce dethronement ? they check the structure of the system the king operates and if there is no alternative to fill that vacuum, they don’t touch the subject

now the only way they can control the Oba of Benin is by starving the Oba of money - but the system revolves because your electoral value too can be destroyed by the Oba when he tells his people you are being harsh to him

so the political leaders need the Oba of Benin more than he needs them - period!

you think say na beans when one yaya governor go wake up give obas sanusi treatment without the great people of benin kingdom put up a fight?
go and check out the laws setting up these traditional institutions and it applies to oba of Benin!! If Oba of Benin is dethrone today, you'll see how senior Benin chiefs will hustle for the throne! Or you think the government gives a flying crap about the hereditary nature of the stool?! You are under estimating the powers of government!!

unfortunately for Nay Capt. Anthony Ibe Onyearugbulem- the curse was our already and he died mysteriously afterwards


hmmm even your bible recognizes the potency of powers - go read your Bible about King Saul, the spirit of Samuel and the witch of Endor!

1 Samuel Chapter 28

you people claim to be christians and you don’t read your bible - you just gyrate and sing emotionally - the bible tells you there are powers and also tells you to give what is Caesar to Caesar

ok let us assume any Nigerian leader has the balls to dethrone the Oba of Benin- who will you install as the next Oba ?

no bini man will take the title because Obas according to the culture are created, not made


the Binis do not consult oracle to pick kings from ruling houses - the binis have just one lineage of Obaship - that is why dethroning the Oba of Benin in independent Nigeria is unthinkable unlike Kano and yoruba land where other members of the royal family are lobbying to take over

Benin is not like that - no bini person will even go to the palace to witness the coronation of any other Oba but the one the ancestors ordained from birth so stop displaying ignorance on social media


If you call that ignorant, I agree. Please note : the law/constitution of Nigeria supersede anything traditional. If we want the effect of traditional ruler, there shouldn't be local government chairman here and there.

Except you want to tell me, the whole of Benin has just one Oba as a whole. That will make him equivalent to no.1 citizen of the state. So, if any sitting Govern. Want to make any Oba reckless, brother he will and walk freely.

How many demon and Orisha you striked on white colonials ,when they came to your city and governed you for years.

That obas don't take sides is a fable!!!
It is obvious you are one of these Lagos-Ibadan offsprings.... You think what you guys celebrate in that your Lagos is tolerated everywhere lol...

But don't worry, you will learn first hand that Lagos is the only place where such nonsense happens, not in Benin or Edo state.

Osho won his election because people believe him and supported him. The table has turned, even if many of you are failing to accept this in your hut at Lagos Ibadan.

Benin people will show you how it is done. Obaseki has really done well in standing against Osho....

This is fake news, the Oba of Benin does not make public utterances in political matters except to resolve conflicts which he did by visiting the President and asking Buhari to intervene last year.
So, this publication is false.

Why do people exhibit ignorance with relish online or social media like this?
In the entire Edo land, there's one and only one Oba.
Politicians go and come, Oba is Oba and no rival.
All other traditional rulers in other parts of Edo are under the Oba, they bear the titles of their tribe and land and they see and take the Oba as their Royal father and they're loyal
