Benin Crown Prince Eheneden Formally Becomes Edaiken N’uselu by rexbuton: 9:54am On Oct 10, 2015 |
The heir-apparent to the Benin throne, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa was on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 formally initiated into the Royal Palace Chamber of Iwebo in conformity with the Benin custom. The colourful event which lasted for seven days took place in the Royal Chambers of the Iwebo group. The event was officiated by the Iwebo chiefs led by their functioning Head, Chief Eribo in the absence of Chief Uwangue, Head of the Iwebo group. At the end of the seven-day event, the Crown Prince in company of many chiefs, prominent Edos and other well- wishers moved from the Palace of the Oba to the Royal Palace of Edaiken N’Uselu to formally assume his position as the Edaiken of Uselu. This is a precursor to assuming the title of the Oba of Benin It was indeed a moment of historical reality and royal grandeur with sonorous traditional songs, and a complimentary outpouring of affections and solidarity from the people for His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Ehenede, Edaiken N’Uselu. There are three main societies in the Oba’s Palace namely Iwebo, Iweguae and Ibiwe. Each society occupies its own section of the Palace and entry into it is by special initiation usually lasting seven days. They were established during the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great in the 15th Century. In the 16th Century, two Obas, namely Esigie (1504 A.D.) and Ehengbuda (1550 A.D.) carried out reforms in Iwebo and Iweguae societies respectively. Iwebo, the most senior society takes charge of the royal ward-robe and regalia, making and repairing the coral bead garments and ornaments used by the Oba on ceremonial occasions. In the past, this society used to oversee financial matters, trade and commerce. With the exception of Oloton, all the other six members of the Uzama have to be initiated into lwebo society as nominal members before they can assume their titles. The Oba’s eldest son on being initiated into it, has to attain the rank of Uko N’Iwebo (like every other member aspiring to a Chieftaincy title) before he is formally conferred with the title of Edaiken of Uselu. Iweguae is the centre of all the Palace activities and is next to Iwebo in seniority. Occupying the central position, this section of the Palace is the residence of the Oba and, therefore, its members provide him with his personal and domestic services. It is only after his coronation that the Oba can enter into lweguae and stay. Chief Oloton is the only other Uzama who is a nominal member of this society. Ibiwe is the third society in the Palace and its duty is to look after the Oba’s harem; the welfare of his wives and children. In this regard, As in the case of lweguae, the Oba can only enter this section after his coronation when he has to inherit all the assets and liabilities. http://www.ionigeria.com/benin-crown-prince-eheneden-formally-becomes-edaiken-nuselu/

So you mean the new Oba has not been crowned all these while.. And it has not still happened?. Benin is truly the land of blood and witches. Now I believe. I wonder how many heads have gone missing in almost a year since I got the news of the demise of the traditional ruler. |

ZKOSOSO: Did you read the article? If you ever managed to get a BS.c, I have to inform you that it was a total waste.. It should be in the trash can, because you don't deserve it.. Even a kindergarten will know that the Oba is gone after reading the epistle the OP posted up there. If you would excuse me please.... |
