Chief Gabriel igbinedion is superior to him so alaafin should go there and pay respect to his superior .

Alaafin even put statue of Jesus Christ in his palace ..
Well, it's good thing that he recognized Jesus Christ as his lord and savior.
GOD ALMIGHTY is the only saviour of humanity not any other person.. This is the message of Islamic monotheism

Congratulations on his birthday.....Baba Gabriel Igbinedion...Baba .Osawaru, Long live the Esama of Benin Kingdom! Ise!....The original OKADA CREATOR!

I's good brotherly love shown by this active Alaafin.....May his reign be peaceful.

However, and as he so rightly acknowledged, he is subservient to The One and only King of kings, The Almighty JESUS!

Praises & Blessings Sir!!!!!

I can see how this Oyo people are really struggling to raise the image of this their poor king , as anyone visited his palace and see how old and unkept it looks, the guy is still struggling with chairmanship of obas in Oyo state, but his handlers says he is the custodian of Yoruba culture, no visible achievement to Oyo town since he came on board, ....I don't give regards to Oba that won't bring meaningful development to his people

You guys should stop fouling the whole atmosphere with all these balderdash about some inebriated set of mu-ta-nts parading around as "royals". This is supposed to be a democracy and as such, all these worn out stools led by some bemused and overdressed up-starts, should be abolished and the occupants banished..
The closest person to you in leadership is your king or community head.

Igbinedion is a chief, maybe they call him high chief. He's not a monarch. Only one monarch in Benin and that's the oba of Benin

So if we put a pig on that throne it is an important pig

Decorations do not show how important anyone is it reflects a need to appear more important than one really is

Jesus supposedly remains important and no record of any Decorations, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Awolowo, Fela, Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi etc
People who are remembered are remembered for more than Decorations

Your comment tells me everything about you though
Jesus wey ride donkey to Jerusalem where people were laying their robes on the floor ?

All those billionaires wey get private jets and live in billion dollars mansions and drive bespoke cars ?

Whether old or young,do well to eat healthy and exercise daily.lt will keep you strong in your later years.Those two people look like they can barely stand nor walk and depends on others to take of them.People must also stop sitting too much.This is not living to me and l truly don't care about money or any title whatsoever.

That would be the work of his wife. According to my own perception, Christianity and Islam are no longer foreign to Yoruba culture. A practice that is in place for 100s of years is no longer strange it is a culture.
That's the esama"s palace,can't you differentiate Benin from Oyo sigils?

The question is is the throne the Alaafin sitting on not for his Royal Highness Chief Gabriel? It was the Alafin that visited Benin and out of respect the Oba of Benin relinquished his throne to the Alaafin as a mark of symbolic respect and cultural affiliation to the Oyo empire. So the throne with Jesus' statue is not for the Oyo king Alaafin Owoade.
Noh mind those blind people up there,they can't even identify sigils of Nigerian traditional monarchs but Dem sabi man u,Chelsea etc

It is the Alaafin title and the ancient Oyo throne that is superior to igbinedion. It is not a matter of personi undecided

Do decorations elevate a man or does a man elevate decorations?
Oga this is culture, you cant use this narrative to describe culture and its preservation.

That is at Chief Igbinedion's house, not Alafin's palace. Igbinedion put the Christian symbol there,

Igbinedion is one of the very few Benin chiefs who was able to complete their entire chieftaincy celebration rites, in the 1970s. The full ceremony/rites is so rare that the BBC came to document it back then. He achieved the Iyahien status of full title rites.

It would cost around 10 billion Naira to do today. Since chieftaincy in Benin is not given because of wealth, only few who get it have such big money. Those who would normally have the money to do it, don't qualify for chieftaincy in Benin tradition.

Completing that full rite made Oba grant Chief Igbinedion the rights to use certain symbols you see in his house.
