He went to a shrine you would have said. There is no way that is scriptural what he did. It's not compulsory he displays his hypocrisy by trying to associate with the church aside it's not church of the "Living God". |

LorDBolton: No doubts, an Oba is entitled to whatever luxury his people can afford to offer him. But imagine the unprintable Naira Cost of that Rolls Royce. Now, on the hand, imagine if the Oba had ordered for a customized luxury sedan or Jeep and made these very public appearances on an Innoson vehicle . Imagine the impact, culturally, politically and economically the body language he would have telegraphed not only to the world, but to our political elites and and his subjects. Todays Oba's, rather than being cultural icons, are too eager to be trendy and Kardashian. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

patriotic9jaboy: If buhari is truly an old soldier, he should try his balls to probe the Oba of Benin. Truth is he can't even conceive it in his heart not to talk about uttering it. Has the OB eve worked for any government parastatal? Or you think he is an illiterate like most of your northern chiefs? Even sanusi of all courses in this world read islamic whatever. You are here blabbing about Oba's car, what about sanusi a smaller chief in the north. Doesn't he have exotic cars in its numbers? Is there any oil in your north? Leaches calling others name. Don't you know the Oba is more superior than your chiefs in th north? That is why sanusi had to present himself in person during the Oba's coronation. Watch and see if the Oba 'll ever attend any coronation ceremony in the North. He will @most only send a representative because everybody know's their place in the traditional Hierarchy. 5 Likes |

seniorkachion: Guy, out of sheer foolishness, some people will just stumble into Nairaland and start writing jargons claiming to know....and they know nothing. Try and get ur facts right before jumping into foolish conclusion like Judas Iscariot dat later regretted his actions and omissions. Do u know d magnitude of peace and tranquillity the Oba has brought to Benin Kingdom as a whole and even extending such peace to neighbouring states?. Do u know how many land and community disputes d Oba settles and resolves amicably everyday at d palace that are not published on d front page of newspapers or advertised on d media (TV and Radio)...Infact, u hardly see people killing themselves over land dispute in Benin compared to what is happening in other states of the federation. Do u know d government of Edo state can not function very well without d impact of d Oba of Benin?...Governors will come and go..but Oba remains with his traditional role as the father of all Edolites. No wonder before any top personalities, whether president from any country of the world, politicians, pastors, Bishops, Popes or Imam enters Benin, they must first pay royal homage to d great Oba of Benin......Anything or decision taken by the Oba is final which d governor himself cannot even change. So, Oba does not make hasty or take irrational decisions. Do u know how many less privileged families, orphans, widows and widowers the Oba of Benin is feeding everyday and even sponsoring to schools from primary to tertiary schools across d world coupled with their vocational studies?.... I was a beneficiary of the Oba of Benin scholarship from secondary level to university level as a true son of d land.....I am proud to tell people dat. Constitutionally, d office of d palace is not allowed to build and established schools within Edo state becos, it's assumed that Oba owns all d land including the people therein. His duty is to ensure peaceful coexistence between the Binis and Non-binis that are living within his kingdom The main and paramount duty of d Oba of Benin is to ensure adequate welfare of the people with peace and harmony. When I read about some fallacious stories on social media....i sometimes laugh in Swahili......kiokiokiokiokio........ It's not everything u read on social media that are useful to u....most fabricated stories on social media are just for money making gimmicks. Utilize the stories that are useful to u and discard the ones that are useless to u. We should learn to say things right irrespective of our tribes, religions and level of education to avoid misleading others with wrong notions about such entity for National peace and Political stability..... I rest my case here with absolute Peace and Love Oba ghato Kpere...Iseeeee! 10 Likes 1 Share |

On Akpakpava Road in the heart of Benin City, the
Edo State capital, is a church founded over 500
years ago. The architectural design of the building
tells its story. It does not advertise itself; yet has
a large following. The Oba of Benin is its spiritual
head, reports Osagie Otabor.
The Holy Aruosa Cathedral is to the Bini people
what the Church of England is to the English
people; no wonder it is referred to as the Church
of Benin.
Welcome to the Holy Aruosa (the eye of God)
Cathedral.
Members of the Holy Arousa are different from
flocks of other religious bodies: they are seldom
seen sharing pamphlets to convert members or
inviting people to the church. The church leaders
do not hold crusades or revival services to
convert ‘souls’, neither do they invite people to
experience miracles.
Legend has it that the church was located at the
place because it was the spot the Bini had direct
contact with Osanobua (God) long before the
coming of the European explorers and
missionaries.
According to the folklore, a powerful spiritual
leader known as Okhuaihe was said to have
offered to personally take the peoples’ plea to God
as a result of drought and pestilence that had
infected the land. He gave up his life during one
of the prayer sessions. He was expected to return
and bring succour to the people.
As the story goes, the people continued their
prayers waiting for Okhuaihe’s return but rather
than his return, they got a huge fireball that
descended from the sky. At the point where the
ball of fire dropped, a huge black stone was found
and a place of worship was built there.
During the British invasion of Benin Kingdom, the
church was destroyed and the black stone was
carted away along with other artifacts from the
ancient city at about 1897. The invaders came
with their own God, mode of worship and forbade
the people from worshipping Osanobua at Holy
Arousa.
It was Oba Akenzua II (father of the present
monarch) who rebuilt the current cathedral, not
only in Benin City, but in Onitsha, Umuahia and
other areas.
The Oba of Benin is the spiritual head (general
overseer) of the Church. His deputy is the Benin
Crown Prince. The presiding head of the church is
known as ‘Ohen Osa’ (God’s servant). A special
seat is reserved for the Oba at the church. The
priests dress like the Roman Catholic priests and
usually wear red caps.
Service at the church is conducted in Bini
language. The Holy Bible is not used in the
church; much of the preaching revolves around
reminding the congregation that the Oba is God’s
representative on earth and on the need to be
good while on earth. Baptism of new converts is
done with the white chalk (Orhue) in what is
regarded as ‘Igborhe’.
Does miracle happen in the church? Ohen Osa
Harrison Okao said people received miracles and
God’s blessings directly from God without any
intermediary.
He said: “Those who seek God come here. We
don’t beg people to come. If you attend and
discover that your contact with God is cordial,
you will remain. If you beg God for promotion and
you come here and got it, you will remain here.”
Harrison said the church was founded during the
reign of Oba Esigie and to worship God without
praying through any intermediary.
He said: “We use our local language to
communicate with our God. We are aware of other
diverse ways of reaching God. If you are a good
Muslim, God will accept you. If you are a good
Christian, God will accept you.
“We don’t use the Bible here. We have our own
book. We use the book of Holy Arousa according
to the sayings of the ancient belief written by the
wise men. The church is still in existence till
today, it is an entity that will last forever. Nothing
can stop it.”
“A professional doctor does not need sign board.
Oba is a special human being. He is God’s
representative on earth. The seat that concerns
Omon N’ Oba, nobody can sit on it. That seat is
exclusively preserved for him.” http://thenationonlineng.net/church-where-oba-of- benin-is-general-overseer/ 4 Likes 1 Share |

mozel247: I wanted to comment untill I read exactly what I had in mind here. I was really surprised that after all the rituals involved in the coronation and all the winchy winchy that follows the name of OBA OF BENIN, he still goes to church but thanks to these fellows here that have cleared the air. BUT i think they shouldn't call it a CHURCH if oba is the head and his chiefs are the only worshippers. It should be called Gathering of the bold and strong. GBS! I still maintain that BENIN people need deliverance. 3 Likes |

osigiepurr:I have heard you. I have also made my point on the things the Obas could have done to advance the progress of society and Benin in particular. There is no where oba is "constitutionally" prevented from building schools and other infrastructural works. If you mean levying taxes , he dont need to do that. He could set up a foundation or guilds. I still maintain my position that what nigerians are enlightened monarchs who will mobilize for social and economic progress of their areas. |

seniorkachion: You see, sometimes we do get things wrong, you don't expect the oba to do these things and start showing them on air. Do you know how many people have benefited from the oba of benin. The last time I checked, the Oba is said to have no constitutional powers, so when he builds a school who will employ and pay the teachers? I guess you will say it is him alsom It is not bad if you are anti-monarchy, but here in Benin, we so love the crown, it is what keeps us very united. I am an Esan and yet the Oba of Benin is my royal father. We in Edo state all hail from Benin, we will do anything to make sure our king gets the best things because his wish for us is also to get the best things in life. If today you are succesful is dere anytin u can't buy for your father. Don't just see the Oba as a king in benin, He is a father. The state govt cannot fxtn well without the Oba, you can't be any enemy of the oba and expect to thrive. Oshiomole survived because the Late Oba was like a father to him, its one reason the oba doesn't play politics, because if he chooses you, you win and if you fail you stain his image. He cannot afford to do that, he is seen as spotless, wise, his judgement is taken as final, there are cases that courts can't settle, because no body respects the court, but take it to the palace and let the oba pronounce it, it holds. Its now things are even changing....you can't remove him from his seat, the worse you can do as a governor is stop giving him what is due to him, and I bet you won't last either as governor on as a human being on this earth. The Oba of Benin is totally different from all other kings in Nigeria, I stand on that, totally different. 4 Likes 1 Share |
