Culture › Re: Why Oba Of Benin Was Covering His Mouth by pepperandsalt(m): 5:49pm On Oct 21, 2016 |
[quote author=GurlFriend post=50390248]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.
39th oba not 40th |

Dasini: This dude that said someone just called that PDP is leading somewhere is an addicted liar, accreditation will still be on by now, have been part of the process before, you have to end accreditation before voting can commence. This is just 9am, for those who know the process am sure will agree with me that it can't be so. How did you know a party is leading when they have not voted not to talk of finished. These are the people who write nonsense, in the next few hours you will see this same ediots saying they have rigged it, that the result cant be real. They are paid to raise unnecessary dust, to tag the other party as evil or riggers, whereas they are out for their evil. Funny enough, how many voters even come on nairaland, the market women and many other edo citizens don't even know if nairaland exist. Election is never won on nairaland, we have seen this from several past elections in this country that they make so much noise, but the end will justify the means. this one vote once you are accredited Dasini: This dude that said someone just called that PDP is leading somewhere is an addicted liar, accreditation will still be on by now, have been part of the process before, you have to end accreditation before voting can commence.
