See The Name Of The Only King That Can't Be Dethroned In Nigeria by Kundagarten(op): 3:39pm On Mar 09, 2020
Not even president Buhari together with NASS can dethrone the Oba of Benin. The reason is that only the first son of an Oba becomes an oba.

No other king in Nigeria has that previledge.

What is trash? I'm lecturing you on Edo culture.
Re: See The Name Of The Only King That Can't Be Dethroned In Nigeria by Nobody:
His position or the Obaship is irrelevant,

The Oba of Benin is under the Chairman of his local government area.

If he had power, Edo State wouldn't be in mess today.

He might be more influential than all the politicians in Edo State combined.

His power is in his influence.
He has no political power.

My point remains, only God can dethrone the Oba.

Did read my first post? If Buhari can't remove him, who is Obaseki. Don't forget Obaseki is a Bini man and knows the culture

Calm down, who gave the oba staff of office? Governor.
The oba has to adhere to the rules of local government and chieftaincy. if he errs , na the commissioner go tidy him matter . What happened to the Benin empire when the British struck. Go back to your history books, Ask Sultan Dasuki hw far. The Governor is nobody's mate. The President is the Lord, I repeat.
The monarchs are at the mercy of the executives.

don't go too far. A Nigerian military administrator sacked a sitting Oba of Benin. i dare anyone to dispute it.

Invalid argument. How many kings had been dethroned since time immemorial.

A governor can't just announce the removal of Omo N'oba

Banished by the Brits but the lineage continues. In Ife, they have a ruling house. Anyone from that ruling house can be the Ooni. In Bini culture only the first son of the Oba can ever ascend the throne.

You're confusing our culture with what happens elsewhere.

Re: See The Name Of The Only King That Can't Be Dethroned In Nigeria by OROSUNBOLB(m):
Really ? So what will happen if he is dethroned ? Does he have his own army to fight the government or something ? Oh ! He get jazz as in juju right ? When it comes to that,your oba is a learner o,trust me !

When the push comes to shove, a mere LG chairman can dethrone that your Oba and it will shock you like live wire ! Do you have a different constitution in Edo state or what exactly are you trying to sell here omo Bini ? You are a joker if you consider Oba of Benin any powerful than the Emir of Kano in contemporary Nigeria. Reverse is actually the case.

Forget story.

The President can remove him and replace him with another dynasty.

The people of Bini will do nothing!
