  6. @ Bestman Kennedy, I doubt if you are truly from Benin, cuz ur action is nt dat of a Benin man.. ur deeply way out of d norms and ethics of Benin traditions and customs. R.I.P. Our great king.

  7. “The Oba never dies” as the Benis would say. He has only gone to the great beyond to join his ancestors. May our departed monarch continue to reign in our thoughts and words always.

  10. Collins, you’re definetly not an authentic edo guy. The oba does not die, he only sleeps and wakes up in the ethereal where osanobua embraces him and he takes on a new journey. I repeat the oba does not die

    Don’t use the dead die death. For the oba he can’t die he only went to meet his forefathers
