The Benin monarch, Omo’noba Erediauwa summoned all his chiefs, traditional worshippers to assemble on Thursday to place a curse on the brains behind the deteriorating level of security in the city.

The Oba who gave this directive through the Iyase of Benin, Chief Sam Igbe, during a meeting with the Enigies, Igie-Ohen in Benin, said the pronouncement of the curse would take place at the traditional Urhokpota hall.

The Information Officer, Benin Traditional Council, Robinson Osayanmwen, in a statement said, all those involved in kidnapping, assassination, robbery and other violent crimes in the state would be cursed.

“The monarch also requested that the Enigie, Igie-Ohen, Edionwere, market women and other traditional worshippers should come with whatever they have to ensure that these evil doers in our state are wiped away for peace to reign in the state,” it stated.

FROM THE VANGUARD

Comedy.

when will obas and chiefs realise their importance is dwindling every seconds. i have great respect for OBA OF BENIN but this curse aint gonna work, sorry.

At this modern age ? This is fuc.king hysteric !!!!

I can imagine Bini Chiefs coming down from their padded Jeeps with armlets and cowries taking position for divine swear.

The market women should also bring their vegetable and pepper for the curse

You guys are so ignorant but that doesnt make you opinion foolish. When the Oba and the women of the land places a curse on someone it always works. It has worked many times in the past and affected people like igbinedion.

I dont recall they had to go to city hall to do it, Loveking

Loveking no mind them. People have become too westernized that they forget that there are forces in this world beyond the natural eyes. Forces are indeed there whether for good or evil.

Even if these curses are backed by demons, the thieves, kidnappers, etc by virtue of their crime have renounced their rights to Gods protection.

May the curses consume all the kidnappers and other bastards that are compromising Edos security

The conference of curses that is about to be proclaimed is incomparable in the history of the ancient city of Benin. The Igbinedions only received "text message" curses under poor network.
This is going to be 3d video calling curses with digital network. All kidnappers beware. If you know any just warn them for the fate that is about to befall them.

Nigeria should have a National Day of Cursing and Swearing. On the allotted day, Nigerians gather together, whether huddled together as families or at work, to rain all manner of imprecations on evil doers in the country.

Some people are still living in the ancient dark past; what a huge joke?

And you thats in the quantum age, where has that got us to? Have your mother ever been kidnapped? If so i doubt you will be this insensitive and ignorant. If the curses deter the criminals even if psychologically then why not.

What has education got to do with your personal beliefs? Do you think christainity and islam are the only religions that attract educated men? What about hinduism, buddism, scientology? Are they bereft of scholars? Please dont expose your lack of brain cells here.

Now back to the topic,

It is difficult for those people who are used to seeing their monarchs attending birthday, wedding or any other free party chopping jollof in between wife battering and dancing to yahoozee on Bisi Olatilo Show to really understand the reverence with which the Omo no Oba N' Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Erediauwa, The Oba of Benin is held by his people.

For us, our Oba, who is internationally respected is dear to us, when he speaks we listen.

Oba Ato Kpere - Ise

@sapele guy, stop mumbo jumbo, when last did this curse thing worked?

The bini Monak is too powwerful compare to Deji of Akure.

Ode remo, in this life there are known knowns and unknown unknowns.

My simple point is that no true Bendelite wants the curse of the Oba.

ha!

this is too funny.

anyway, make una pray for them.

@ sapele,
i agree with you, the oba of benin ,i have great respect for  unlike the oni of ife, alafin of oyo and some pseudo oba clowning around the universe, my point is, it is a shame that the cult factor have its deep root in benin, hence the resent appalling killings in benin.
by relying solely on the psychology of the curse only will not work.

the entire generation of the past military administrator that handed over to Chief Lucky Igbinedion has been completely wiped out because of statements like this that you have just urtered.I only live in benin i am not a Benin guy. Any body that does not believe that this curse will work surely does not live in benin
