How many curses has the Oba placed on the politicians that have been looting the commonwealth of his people?

Very stupid Oba!!!

If man were God!!!

Mohammed has been mocked.
Jesus Christ has been ridiculed?
Koran abused.
Bible blasphemed.

If man were God.!!!!!!

Na wa for this Oba, matter wey require condemnation then correction with maturity, him dey carry curse enter am.

Yeye dey smell.
After all, he is just a human and nothing more, Mtcheew!

Dennisochampa:
....
So how many jobs your own traditional ruler don give your family No insult me o.. Just asking based on your post.
It's not in an oba's position to provide jobs.
He is the custodian of the traditions of the Benin land and that is what he's protecting

You no well at all
Curse means punishment u no Dey help person and u won still punish an
Did I told u it's the oba duty to create a job ?

EXOUSIAng:


You get it wrong.

I could curse a politician as a person, without the backing of a spirit entity and nothing will happen.
But the type of curse the Oba of Benin is talking about is not just word of mouth.
Note that he is not the one placing the curse, they is a group charged with that responsibility, not just anybody can place the curse.
That curse I can guarantee you will go with a sacrifice on an alter, making it a covenant. That curse now has the backing of a spirit entity, a spirit or deity is now backing the curse making sure the curse is activated....

I am not talking about emotional curses, curses we lay out of anger and frustration, like saying "Ogun kill you"
But you see go to a river Ogun bank meet with a priest provide what is needed to invoke Ogun and lay that curse, you will see the difference between "Ogun kee you" and "Ogun kill you" except the person in question is innocent. And in this case we both know the young man is not innocent

No joke with those things oh.
Go to your village and break some rules that may seem lame and you would be shocked at the result.... Those rules as simple or stupid as they may seem have spirit watching.

How do you think we Africans maintained order in our societies before the white man brought police?
Or you also think we had no order and we were jumping from tree to tree....

Laying a curse in the name of the Almighty God or those demons you refer as gods? You invoke any evil spirit to lay curse on a child of God and you think it's going to have any effect? Never! Some of us have passed that level where someone would be threatening us with nonsense juju. E no go better for gods.
Did you remember what God told Abraham, anyone who curse you, I will curse. That's is the sure 'back to sender' for every child of God

sheeda995:

Why don't you think this only happened in Africa. White people enslaved so many of you in Benin,your Oba curse no work,Colonial master came, e no work. Poverty plenty for Benin your king no bless them.
Let that guy move abroad and lets see if yeye curse go work. The reason it seems curse work is bcx living in Nigeria itself is a calamity and there's already a high percentage yoh will be unfortunate, thus once you are unfortunate,people will attribute it ti curses.Du*mb people. May God help you

of them born you well mention your state make we compare, If you be Yoruba which i know say you be, no where for Yoruba land fine reach Benin aside Lagos and Lagos na no mans land

Edo doesn't have an Oba. There's only one Oba and he's the Oba of Benin, not the entire Edo state.

Edo= Benin.

Benin or Edo did not begin in August 1991.

Long after Edo State is gone, may be after Afemesan state is finally formed, it will still be Edo=Benin.

We are waiting for various peoples to go their separate ways so that people can finally own the names that belong to them historically. May be we can then focus on development instead of dragging names or superiority.

That aside:
Eben/sceptre is not used anyhow in Benin practice. Some other tribes even us it in burials and other occasions. Each culture has its rules.

Izoduwa should have known better. He's a decent guy and will learn his lessons.

Jealous Oba

Wetin concern the over sabi Oba with common wedding dance ?

Most youths don't know traditions. The oba in his knowledge would have called them to order rather than placing curses. What would he gain by placing curses on them? Mtcheew

This is nothing but stupidity,
I am sure if it was a white man that did this, the narrative will be 'Bini to the world' Oyinbo is promoting our culture.
Upon all the traditional gragra ordinary governor can remove any king in Nigeria. Please go and sit-down and think of how to better the lots of your subjects.

Is the guy related to Odua Imasuen of Nollywood?

You no well at all

...
I just think you're stupid to be honest.
What kind of help or assistance do u expect from a traditional ruler you're not directly related to?
This is a simple case of, u disobey the laws of the land, u get punished...
Werin bring help come the matter

Haaa! Eleyi gaa o!
Eleyi gidigan!
Osalobua lahor o...

The oba or whatever did not create the guy, so hus curses are worthless.

You mean to tell me no single elder in the wedding ceremony could caution them??

EXOUSIAng:


Dey play.
Remember the man whose horse spoke in the bible, dude was on his way to curse Israel.
God stopped him because even God knows the curse would have worked.
If what you said is true, God for just allow waka go waka come.
The realm of the spirit doesn't work that way.
If live your live with this your mindset you will be easy prey

Oga, curse will not work unless you do evil to the people or people who curse you.

Oba is not his creator and he did not do evil to the oba.

What the hell do you mean by "Afemesan",looks like you wanna partake in that eboh.

Edo(Benin) and Esan are one. Or it is Edo,Esan and Afemai.

I was really baffled but didn't want to say anything, except of course, they were there but money and the possession of it, blinded them from doing what they're suppose to do.

Go and sit down. Is it not a politician that presented his staff of office to him? Na Osho Baba hand over staff of office to am.
They deposed the Sultan and nothing happened. Your Oba is very small. If he misbehaves, he will be summarily dealt with.
They will depose him to a village in Bayelsa and install someone from another Ruling House as the Oba.

This where you miss it, RULING HOUSE. That is what make Bini kingdom different from Sultan and the likes. The Staff office presented or not, that is not what makes him to be an Oba. The day he was born that was the day the thrown was waiting for him to ascend. If he is deposed as you imagine, who takes over, His Son no one else.

when dem say make una do simple wedding, una say no as if all this activity is what will make the marriage succeed

I also condemn Oba statement especially the curse aspect. Oba is not a God but a custodian of tradition, speaking against the groom and his men activities is enough, cursing them is a joke taking too far.

Well, in MidWest/Bendel, Edoid people like Urhobo, Isoko, Okpe and others were part of it. Why should there not be more states for Edoid people as the population grows?

There are many states with Hausa people, many with Yoruboid people. I see as the logical way forward. People can continue to evolve their identities as they wish.

PrinceOfLagos:
They ended up destroying themselves because they want to trend

Oba please, forgive your children .

which children ,The Lord alone decide who can be cursed or bless. Yeye dey smell

Mtchewwwwww

Why undermine custom and tradition?

They went too far!

Your Royal Highness,
May you live long on the throne.

Forgive your children, your highness 🙏🙏🙏

abeg make that oba help us course tinubu

whizzler:


I tire oh, something he could just reprimand the young man. I wonder why their curses work more than their prayers

I believe he won't be cursed eventually. It's only a threat to deter others as well as force him to tender a public apology. However, I could be wrong though because this current Oba is very hot-tempered.

OladipupoIyowun:
Only God owns the key to every man's destiny. I rest my case. If you serve the living God and know his words, you won't be deter by any man's threat

And don't err. Curses draw legitimacy and potency from a person's offence. The guy in question has errred. GOD does not pamper foolishness as displayed by these young men. So be balanced when you teach divine ordinances.

Varunpulyani:
Oba is not God , thunder fire oba

Take it easy, Oba is not the cause of your problems and frustration.

EXOUSIAng:

Did you read the part of the bible where God placed curses and blessing on the people....
It'd goes same way.
I am a Benue man in my place we don't steal, if I steal na my deity go arrange make them catch me, so also if you steal from me what ever curse I lay on you you done carry load, I can't be used for money ritual or killed anyhow but if I have human blood on my hands my deity will kill me, reason why people from my place are never known for blood money. The deity will protect and bless you but there is also a curse if you do the opposite...
You are asking me how the people can be cursed but they cannot be blessed.
They sacrifice a goat to pay a curse on you, you that need a chicken to activate your blessings say you are a christain, do you want to reap from a deity you didn't sow to?

The things of the spirit are deeper than you an ever imagine.
I am a Christian from a christain home, but I have respect for all those deities, Jesus is head over all principalities and powers not you, He only became head he didn't take away their powers, use your head.
The devil all bless you if you do the needful.
It is not the responsibility of the Oba to carry out sacrifice for people....
The rules are on ground, do this and you will be blessed, do that and you are cursed. Simple have you done the needful to get the blessing.
Please read this twice

Sir, you have done more than enough to enlighten that fella. Please leave him to his logic until something closes in on him. Some people read one or two books and start feeling like philosophers ignoring spiritual orders and patterns. He will be jostled back to reality at some point in this world. Abeg I nor fit talk jor.

SoNature:
The truth is that this life is more complicated than most of us think. Blessings and curses are of the Lord. The Maker of the universe will decide whether to honour those words or not.

Very wrong. Curse is not of the Lord. Curse is from the wicked one, who came to steal, Kill and Destroy.
Our Lord Jesus Christ admonished us to pray even for our enemies. God is light. Curse is Darkness.
