The truth is that the presidency does not really care about the ranting of Gov. Fayose because they know that Fayose is been chased by the ghost of his past and sooner or later he will be made to dance the surugede dance in the market square.

Yesterday, Oba Ewuare ll N'Ogidigan ascended the revered throne of his ancestors to become the 40th Oba of Benin, succeeding his late father, Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolopkolo, Oba Erediauwa.

The photo below of the newly coronated Oba puzzled many people.

Why was the Oba covering his mouth? It was obviously a cultural act but what was the significance? Even his wives covered their mouths.

I did some investigation and found out the following:

The Oba usually covers his mouth because when he talks he is the supreme authority. Whatever he says is final.

People talk on his behalf most of the time and whatever they proclaim becomes the Law with immediate effect.

A friend of mine who is a painter said he did a painting of the old Oba and it was rejected because it depicted him smiling. According to tradition, people are not supposed to see the Oba's teeth so he doesn't smile.

His wives covered their mouths as a sign of submission.

Don't you just love our culture? So rich and varied!

If I have any fact wrong, please clarify.

Oba atokpei, iseeeeeee!!!

That's why his overly tanned wig wearing a$$ isn't going to be the next president. Over 200 million American registered to vote ( Historic record). Make sure you tune in to CNN/MSNBC live and watch Hilary beat Trump by a landslide.

Bruh. Shut up, you already lost. You're a hopeless lowlife and you expect everyone to be like you.

I think the question to ask is what is being done with the 13%. Even if it is increased to 90%, a large % of it will still land in the pockets of some privilege few. Our leaders are the main problem.

So I can't have my father's portrait in my office. I said it, you're a primitive flat headed villager. There's no video game or home theatre in the picture. Just the DVD and DSTV decoder. I take it you don't know people can have those things in an office sha, to buy small portable DVD for your BQ na problem. I feel you, the economy is not smiling on your flat head.

You think everyone lives in thatched roof huts like your father. Gladly chilling watching Narcos on Netflix. Identify your father in the picture.
