At Ola Daviva International, we are honored to be part of history by designing the customized Ankara fabrics used for the coronation titles and the burial of the Queen Mother.

This is more than just fabric—it is a symbol of heritage, culture, and honor, woven with patterns that reflect the rich legacy of the Benin Kingdom.

Being entrusted with this prestigious task makes us feel like we are doing super work for royalty, and we take immense pride in preserving history through textile art.

In the Benin Kingdom, a profound chapter unfolded as the revered Queen Mother, Iyoba Omo N’ Ikuoyemwen, was finally laid to rest after nearly 50 years.

According to tradition, the Crown Prince (Edaiken) must ascend the throne before performing his mother’s funeral rites. Thus, following his coronation in 2016, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare II embarked on this sacred journey.

The funeral rites began on February 15, 2025, at Eguae Iyoba N’Uselu, featuring traditional ceremonies like Iwarinmwin and Isorhanfua.j The Ekasa mourning rites commenced on March 1, 2025, during which the wearing of coral beads was suspended as a sign of deep respect. These sacred performances, filled with ancestral dances and invocations, will continue until March 27, 2025, culminating in a grand
finale at the Oba’s Palace.

This historic moment not only bids farewell to the Queen Mother but also reinforces the rich traditions of the Benin Kingdom, ensuring that her legacy lives on.
