THE RICHNESS OF YORUBA CULTURE IN BENIN

Until the late 19th century, the kingdom of Benin was a major power in Africa ruled by a royal family who can trace their history back to 1200AD.

Today the Kings of Benin, an area bordered by Nigeria and Togo, have no real power but the customs and reverence surrounding them remains, as French photographer Eric Lafforgue recently discovered when visiting the region.

His vibrant pictures reveal how the kings and their queen continue to command respect and are held in such wonder, local children even believe they have super powers of invisibility.

Eric explained how the royals have become something of a tourist attraction and still have some sway with politicians in the now democratic country. Locals will flock to see them when they go out in public and pose for pictures at their palaces.

He said one King of Abomey will ask for 250 euros to let the tourists take a picture of him with his wives in his palace, while others collect money from villagers in exchange for protection and blessings.

During his visit to the county, Eric witnessed a typical excursion for a King of Benin. Keeping with centuries-old customs, they are carried in royal carriages by men, surrounded by women decked out in colourful dresses banging bells to signal the royal approach.

When they are out in public, an umbrella is always held over them - even when they are inside - as a mark of their importance.

Eric explains: 'Only the kings can have an umbrella. The umbrella is always turned clockwise, to symbolise the longevity of the king. The kings all have an umbrella that allows the people to see them from far away when they are going out of their palace. A man or a woman always hold it, even when they are sitting under a roof.

'On the umbrella, you can spot symbols that represent the power of the king such as sceptres, lions and leopards.'

When they are not travelling by man-powered carriages, the kings love to ride in their cars including Nissans and Toyotas that are not affluent by Western standards but mark out their riches and importance in Benin. The vehicles have special number plates to identify the importance of the passengers.
Many residents believe in voodoo in Benin and as a result associate spirits with the royal family.

Eric explains: 'Gbèmédô Tognon, the Zounon King from Benin is called 'the king of the night', it means he has special power at night. In voodoo, day and night are strictly separated. The children believe he becomes invisible at night.'

The photographer was given permission to photo Gbaguidi Ahotondji Sèvègni, King of Savalou, inside his palace and found him sitting 'in a Swedish design egg chair - a legacy of the colonial times.'

Describing the moment he was given access to take the king's portrait, he said: 'He is always with guards to protect him. I had to lay down in front of him in sign of respect before taking the picture.'

Eric also snapped a traditional doctor of Dada Adidékon Vognon, King of Mahi Assanté.

'The kings have witchdoctors to protect them from the bad luck and the enemies, and also some traditional doctors like Dada Vognon, who is very famous in Benin,' Eric explained. 'It is believed he can cure all kind of things for the king and his wives, from vaginal discharges to sperm fortification, to cancer and Aids.'

While may of the ancient customs and beliefs surrounding the kings remain, the queens will be relieved that one is no longer enforced.

'A long time ago, when the king died, the queen had to follow her husband in the grave so the dead king did not lose his advantages in the world of the dead,' Eric explains.

…Group vows to seek justice

From Petrus Obi, Enugu

ENUGU State Police Command has charged to court Chief Wilfred Ogbodo, 78, for alleg­edly raping a nine year old daughter of one of his tenants in Enugu.

Ogbodo allegedly committed the act after he invited the girl to his flat where he subdued her before allegedly committing the crime.

Enugu-based sexual assault referral center, Tamar SARC , has vowed to ensure that Ogbodo faces the full wrath of the law.

Narrating her ordeal to the assault referral center managed by Women Aid Collective(WACOL) and funded by Justice for All (J4A), the girl (names withheld) alleged that her landlord used threats and intimidation to subdue her before committing the wicked act.

She narrated how the suspect identified as Ogbodo, invited her to his flat, while he was alone, stripped her naked and raped her.

The girl’s words: “He used his hands first, to rub my vagina and later, his mouth to have MouthAction with me before penetrating inside me. He told me that, though his penis is big, he has to use it on me anyway, and he had sex with me in my vagina and my anus.’’

The girl said she bled profusely and the suspect tried to stop the bleeding by cleaning her vagina with his handkerchief and shirt, before his wife came in unexpectedly.

“While he was cleaning me up, the wife came knocking at the door. The wife’s knock was so loud that he later opened the door and the wife asked me, what the husband did, and I told her’’ the girl stated.

Reacting to the incident, bewildered parents of the girl expressed shock at what happened to their daughter and vowed to seek justice ensured the treatment of their child, to avoid any adverse medical effect on her in future.

They however, thanked TAMAR SARC for the treatment and counseling of their child, which they noted, was prompt.

It was gathered that, though the case has been charged to court, and the suspect remanded, Tamar SARC’s follow-up on the matter revealed that the case file has been for­warded to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice.
