The same way some people defend corruption in our nation...is the same way they defend the obnoxious action of the Edo palace, infringing on the fundamental human rights of a fellow citizen during a period of mourning....

come to think of it..the Oba may not even be aware of the action of his over zealous palace chief....the heading of the article makes it sound like the new Oba personally meted out the said punishment on his subjects..

Oga easy,

I am not trying to defend the OBA but it must be clear that Nigeria kings also possess some powers that guide their authority as customary leaders..

You also need to understand that, if the family must sue him, it has to be through the customary court and you can imagine the outcome..

His decree are coded and recognized by Nigeria constitution through the provisions of the customary laws..

Where did you study law? They need to refund your tuition.

Customary court my foot! They are to bring an action for the enforcement of their fundamental human rights and that is done in the high court. And, no, the oba's "decrees" are not laws. You can choose to obey them in recognition of the oba or disobey them.

You may be right.

lesson44:

For asking if the Oba is mad. Watch what would happen to that your mouth or the fingers you used in typing within 7days.

Really? This is more reason why the oba should be abolished.

This oba is clearly intoxicated with his non existent power. He wants to act with some of the savage emirs of northern nigeria. I was in primary school in Benin when this oba s grand father ,Oba Akenzua ll died. The chiefs ordered everybody to shave their or they will have themselves to blame. Archbishop Benson Idahosa of Church of God Mission instructed christians not to shave our head ,that oba is not our father. The Late Etim Inyang who was inspector General of Police followed up by sending loads of mopol to enforce citizen rights. Prince Erediauwa and his cohorts quietly piped down. This upstart emperor needs to be pulled into line quickly.

The only case i see here is trespass and kidnapping and that's not a case u take to customary court.

What if there faiths bans them from obeying the oba

This is why i say we should ban this traditional rulers and channel the money to education

The Oba isn't mad but seems you've losed some nuts which you need to get is screw back.
Them customs
Them land
Them heritage
Wetin be ya own? Oga ITK!

CACAWA:
This is funny and sad.
The same Oba that went to church yesterday? Choose your God and stop being cynical.

Holy Aruosa is not your typical church, it's a traditional church that has apparently been existing since the 15th century.

Their king, their culture, their business.

You see that's where you're mistaken,the Bini traditional stool is not just some ceremonial stool,like you have in the west. I dare say that the Oba of Benin has even more credence than the Governor of the state and the entire Edo people know that for a fact. The Benin stool has full legitimacy and authority because the Benin people know,respect and obey their culture and traditional ruler. This family I can assure you the fsmily did not just purposely dare the Oba,they must have been wrongly advised. Have you heard the saying Benin,where the king is truly king?Those ain't empty words Sir.

I respect people who know their rights. Thank you for this.

And, no, the Oba is not mad. It's the stvpid people who allow such nonsense, the masters of the magisterium of morons that ARE mad. What dumb slaves. Pathetic confederacy of dunces.

So what if a Muslim dies in Benîn? Would they also delay the burial?[/b][/quote] Million dollar question. I guess the oba will pretend not to notice.

Oga calm down, remember say Constitution recognize Native Law.

Nigerians don't know what they want, really. A progressive society vs one ruled by and tied to the retrogressive culture of yesterday.

you are the ma*d one here, no one flouts the orders of the Oba of Benin, he's an authority himself, he's more feared and respected even more than any governor in Edo state., simply because you have no culture doesn't justify reigning abuses on others'

Someone pls explain: Is this decree applicable to Benin city alone or is the whole of Edo state also to observe it?
