AkinPhysicist:
But (Igbo enwe eze) Igbos say they don't have kings so what is this about? And why does he dress like a Bini royalty?

basilo102:

You misunderstood it. These Obis are copy copy influence from Benin. You can see the king in Benin royal cloth but the others retain igbo traditional caps. What igbos operate are autonomous communities with different igwes who are all equal and no paramount ruler of a whole city. Who is the king of Enugu, Owerri, Aba, etc?? Each of these cities have at least 3 igwes with none of them superior to the other. Kingship is highly decentralized

AkinPhysicist:


Ooni of Ife is senior to Oba of Bini

Almand:

The influence of the bini kingdom extends to onitsha. kingship in the whole of aniocha is model after the bini'own.

Dont mind this kid called akinphysicist he thinks Benin Empire is like the village that his rat called ooni sits on!!


My igbo brother you do not need to explain your kingship legitimacy to an Afonja!!

Igbo kingship is forever linked strongly with the Benin Empire no other legitimacy is needed LONG LIVE THE OBI

bot101:


A little education bro. An Obi is not a king. He is the head of the chiefs and is a chief like every other chief. Don't have energy to type on this New Year day. Google or Wikipedia more.

Almand:

Oba of bini did not visit oni of ife. It was the crown prince that did. The Oba can leave the palace but can not sleep outside the palace

Almand:

The influence of the bini kingdom extends to onitsha. kingship in the whole of aniocha is model after the bini'own.

MAY YOUR CHILDREN NEVER BE IN PERPETUAL SLAVERY, IN JESUS NAME!

masseratti:
I can't help but notice the similarities between the obi regalia and the oba of benin regalia,Benin empire truly influence and transcend a lot of ethnic groups,
I don't like the idea of monarchs btw.

holyfather:
And that girl sitting by his side, his wife?

Mayflowa:


In worldwide Linguistics, there are set of languages called edoid languages. Most of them are decedent of the Benin Kingdom. Sometimes the founder are the Oba's son , relative or warriors. For instance, the Ishan kingdom was formed by the chief priest of the Oba who ran away for fear for his life. He grew so respected in the Benin Kingdom that the Oba at that time because jealous and attempted to kill him.

You can say that again. All the needless supremacy fights and arguments can only be seen on the social media, e.g NL. Everybody knows where they belong. On the 23rd of December (a few days ago) as I was driving out of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, I noticed something like siren, blowing behind me. As every vehicle was giving way, I had to follow suit. Guess what I saw, 2 SUVs with the Oba of Benin number plate affixed on each of the vehicles and somebody holding a staff of office inside each vehicle, in the convoy of 5 vehicles obviously coming from Benin to see the Ooni as they were heading towards his palace. I wounded down and shouted...Oba gha to kpehereeee, they all said iseeeee and zoomed past me. Tomorrow, some people here would be fighting unnecessarily over Ooni and Oba of Benin's supremacy as if their lives depend on it.

Cire80:
case of Lagos is different. I've been to Isele Uku and talked with indigenes. Igbo is a major language so it can easily influence some people around them. And Igbos have high population and have a way of trying to igbonize everything they come in contact with and they seem to succeed most times. I'm saying this from experience.

seguno2:
Was he also recruited from America like that Oluwo of Iwo?
Nuff said!!!

NO NA THIS IS AN EDIOD KINGDOM NORBE DEM YORUBA YAHOO YAHOO KINGS OO

gregyboy:


u to lie imagine the first lie of the year

BornStunner1:


Because the benins unlike the yorubas never saw the need to force their language down the throat of thier subjects!!


The benin Empire allowed her subjects keep a measure of thier identity as long as tributes where paid to the center of the Empire which is benin
