April 30, 2016 – Photos: Benin Palace Chiefs Break The Native Chalk As Mourning Continues For Oba Erediauwa
See photos from the official announcement of Oba Erediauwa’s death.
The breaking of native chalk ritual was carried out yesterday at the palace of the late monarch to officially announce his translation into the great beyond.
It was followed by mourning at the palace entrance.
All the males in the Kingdom are to shave their head throughout the mourning period while all markets in the kingdom remain shut for a week.
The crown Prince of Benin Kingdom, Eheneden Erediauwa arrived the palace yesterday around 1:15pm and was officially informed of the translation of his dad before it was made public.
Erediauwa 1 ascended the throne of his forefathers in March 1979.
YOU PEOPLE SHOULD GO AND SERVE GOD…
Who is this igorant fella, can you say that of Oba of Ife, look if you don’t know the scriptures let tell you, Jesus was buried according to Jewish tradition!
Pastor Felix, I am terribly disappointed. Which God do the Jews traditionally worship? Now which god will all the sacrifices and ritual observances in this case be made to? I speak no further.
Everyman to shave their hairs throughout? That’s quite a rite of passage! What if somebody like Denrele Edun was from that place?
Culture and traditions, breaking of d chalk. RIP to the king
Hahahahahaaaaaa @Metu Derenle must shave o! Whether he likes it or not.
Traditions like this still exist in the civilized world. Rip to d king
Metu, if Denrele is from Benin, and a thing like this happen, I‘m sure a day to the shaving day, he will travel out of the city at night without even tell his own parents of where he is going so as not to leave a single possible trace.
Lots of laughs!
