wow.... not a mean feat if you ask me, what do you do with your life after wasting 14 long years in servitude? how do you make it in life? unless there is more to the story, its not something i will encourage but then again its not my business so dont mind my rantings

It is very sad now when we see the outcome of the dubious British invasion and amalgamation of North and south protectorates.

As a Benin man, I'm filled with pride when I remember the great Benin empire, the great wall of Benin, recorded as the greatest earth moving work ever constructed by man in Guinness records book. Mind you, it is also the largest running military defensive network ever built by man with a length of 20,000km.

It is ironic that such great people are now grouped along minority lines in the modern day Nigeria.

Deny it all you want.
Bury your head in the sand!
Africa has had homosexual Kings in the past, and this story just raises my antenna.
Cultivating young boys (your very title says virgin boys) and men for the King?
Can they say no to the King if he wants to satisfy his unnatural desires on them.
It seems to me like this needs to be properly investigated.
There may be child abuse going on there.
I don't care what happened in the past. Such rubbish should not go on in this day and age.
The catholic church is paying millions now for the same thing.
If catholic priests can do it, I dare say the Oba is not holier than a catholic priest.

From your post:
Meeting an Omueda.
He smiled a lot and even tolerated all of our foolish questions. Let's call him Osaro.
Like why he decided to spend over 11 years of his life in the palace.
“I am proud to serve my kingdom” he said with so much ease.
He wore a light brown sleeveless shirt and matching shorts. Around his neck were tiny white beads, and on his ankles were metal bangles.He hasn't been outside the palace since he signed up 9 years ago.

That sounds like a sex slave to me.

EdoNation:
They go to school in the palace and are sponsored through out the university onwards

PerfectlyPerfect:
bro stop being stupid.
please. I beg you.

GQman:

With all due respect to the Bini Kingdom.
I just call it as I see it. That institution needs to be investigated and reformed if need be.
If we don't critically look at things we'll keep doing the same things and killing twins unnecessarily.

PerfectlyPerfect:
you should simply have stated it this way instead of claiming he's a homosexual. I'm not from Benin but I like the way they've been able to blend modernity with their culture

PrecisionFx:
Please is this something like Aboubaku

GQman:
Shhhh.
Oba of Benin, raping little Bini boys since 20 BC!
Why would a virgin boy serve the Oba for 14yrs?


Just like the homosexual king of the historical/mythical Buganda Kingdom in today's Uganda.

Alphamale2017:

One thing I love about the benin Kingdom is their rich cultural heritage

So many other ethnic groups today have their roots to the binis or once being ruled by the binis

Yoruba for instance, no matter how they try to deny it

Benin was the first city visited in Nigeria by the europeans

Ruy de Sequeira 1472

and later Affonso de Aviero 1484

so sad their powers could not withstand the crown firing arms in 1897


long live the great Oba of Benin

Leonbonapart:
Upon all the demonstration of the power of God in this generation, people still practice idolatry... even if I was born into a royal house I will never venture into nonsense.
I have a king I serve. The KING of kings and the LORD of Lord

Eternal life is my only goal in life

JESUS the only way
