So what has church got to do with keeping the dead unburied ? Is this decreed by Jesus?

Since u sound like someone who would like to know...no one is allowed to bury any dead in the Benin during the egue festival period or doing the coronation period of the OBA ..n this has been the Benin tradition before the arrival of the Colonia masters..no be today e start.

Appallingly, you have stuck to your defective disposition towards the Bini monarch. I'd strongly advise you mind the words you use on recognized institutions and the people that occupy them, especially spiritual institutions if you don't want a woeful life when you manage to advance through youth years.

Words will ruin you if you don't guard your thoughts cautiously.

CHIJIOKE1314:



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..

Bro help me tell that guy! They seem not to know the status of some prominent King in Nigeria. People just come here and make senseless comment.

Cutehector:
Who arrested them?



Is it the Nigerian Police?

They were arrested by Upganda Police

The likes are a proof why so many young people are miserable today. Sheer contempt for lawful authority!

Thank God the white man helped abolished all these African traditional rulers/monarch all they did was to enslave their people instead of adding to development of their communities, selfish tradition

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.

And how did the late Etim Inyang end his career with the Nigerian Police?? Total disgrace, as a Bini shon of the shoil dented his retirement party, with IBB asking him, "Etim, where is Anini?" He was struck dumb, mumbling inaudible nonsensical's until the party ended...SO MUCH FOR ENFORCING ORDINARY BARBING OF HAIR

Idahosa Nko How did he end? Did he make it to 70? (3 scores and 10) like the bible said?

These are other folks who challenged the Oba of Benin, and please research what happened to them.

1. Brig. Gen. George Agbazika Innih...Military Governor
Of old Bendel State


2. Lt. Col. Mohammed Abdusalam Onuka... Military
Administrator of Edo State



3. Navy Capt. Anthony Ibe Onyearugbulem... Military
Administrator of Edo State



Don't forget, these were military brass hats, who wielded enormous power in their days, do your research, before you hide behind a key board to spew garbage!

prinzy1:
you people are making noise here because of this oba shit if he ask if the oba is mad and so f***king what

who the f****k is the oba & you trying to over hype him

It is folks like you the white man used as traitors to destroy our customs and traditions. Let me school you a little, the Queen of England taxes, please read with emphasis on TAXES, the British people to death each time they receive a check and everyone still sings the anthem, "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" Yet you are questioning the authority of the Benin Monarch in imposing fine's on customary law violations?? DO YOU KNOW, THE NIGERIAN LEGAL SYSTEM HAS SOME OF CUSTOMARY LAW ENTRENCHED IN IT?? Were you raised by your parents...? It is people like you who will insult your parents at home, but will struggle to make sure your friend''s parents recognize how much you respect them. I guess if you live in England, you will be all too glad to allow the Windsor Royals insult your dignity each time you earn your overtaxed paychecks than to recognize that the Oba of Benin can uphold tradition in his domain. Arrant None sense!!!! EVEN YOUR BIBLE RECOGNISES TRADITION.. Jesus said, "Give unto Caesar, the things which are Caesars, and to God, what belongs to God" ....... a $$ wi. Pe

Try to know what church he went to.

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

So what if a Muslim dies in Benîn?
Would they also delay the burial?

effty:
Try to know what church he went to.

Yes, that is why it took 37 years on the throne for that last oba to pass on. Before the last Oba, the one before passed on after 45 years..... you talk as if this stuff happens every 3 months... Jeez, Every bini person and intending resident know that Benin is a traditional place.. so if this happens, while, God forbid the Oba joins his ancestors, then please take that Muslim person to Auchi or Ekpoma or elsewhere and bury that person, FULL STOP, shuo, na trouble? Benin people no complain, u carry matter put for head. Even the Hausas at Aduwawa who are Muslims know whatsup with the Benin culture and they put all that into considerations before they settled in Benin, and you are here yanning dust!

When Mullahs from the north cut arms and legs while enforcing sharia, your lazy and pathetic a$$ was busy hidding, ordinary fine because of violating the "no burial for a small period in respect of our Oba" u want the sky to fall.... gerrout of here joo.

i can tell u r from the side where you wake up your Father with a side kick. Every other tribe respects culture but you ppl. Anyway you guys are fond of kidnapping your kings.....what an abomination. The only Oba that was kidnapped the other day was perpetrated by your ppl. We all saw their pictures in the paper.

With time? Are you phucking kidding me? We are in the 21st century for crying out loud. Nigeria is truly a nation of animals.

onomeasike:
You have seen another reason why the Benin tradition and history is based on falsehood .A palace Chief said the family can go ahead with the burial another palace Chief said it's a taboo. The other day, it was the lie that Oba doesn't leave the palace yet oba went to the stadium to welcome the Queen Elizabeth II of England and yesterday oba bought a new Rolls Royce yet he never leaves the palace
The Benin Oba's title is even less than the Alaafin of Oyo yet Alaafin will not do this kind of rubbish.
All these lies will be exposed one after the other

my guy shut up. claiming may weather for your rubbish post. this oba is very fierced n not like erediauwa who was calm, burial ceremonies are postponed till the coronation is done and that's the custom even the kids know it. to the palace Chief , you will see what will happen to them if the new oba get their names. I love this oba , his name ewuare 2 speaks for him ....the city is under going cleansing because oba erediauwa was very calm .....oba leaves the palace on special cases but don't go to people houses like oni and if eventually he comes to your house, oba dont leave the state nor travel over sea like your oni or so called alafin who roam like fulani herdsmen, if theoba even decide to come to ur house ,he stay outside and never goes inside . the car is a gift and he can buy 100more if he pleases even esama of benin has close to 7 of that rolls Royce ...

muykem:
Assuming this happened in the north. What will be reaction of majority of people here?

No one has the monopoly of reaction. You too can react how you want instead of asking rhetorical questions.

But note that the type of things that happen up north are just way too barbaric for comfort.

God bless you, I believe some people suppose to quietly go and sleep, if u don't part take in those things is nothing to you. No matter the power they possess nothing can happen to you. Oba power to give order and rule are with boundaries

Michael1812:
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.

I will keep saying it until I see it happen: monarchial rules will soon go extinct.
it's crazy how some people believe a certain family has to keep ruling. what's special about that family that others don't have?
