In this video we are taken inside the Benin Royal Palace to witness traditions before the Oba in sitting.
The king, Oba Ewuare 11 gives some background information on the Benin Bronzes artefacts and reiterates his position on their return.
He unveils that the museum for the returned Benin Bronzes will be located opposite the palace and will be named Benin Royal Museum.
For the visitors he gives a brief history lesson on the duties of the Benin Royal Chiefs. Each group can be identified by their white or red colour robes. The Oba touches briefly too on traditional arrangements in the palace example sitting positions.
An Eulogy of the Oba is then narrated before gifts are presented to the guests and group photographs taken.
This meeting gives a taste of what visitors can expect when the Royal Benin Museum opens. Every visit will be a spectacular and memorable experience for all. Watch this space!
Oba Ghato!
Okpere!
Ise!
Long Live the King!
Amen!
