It's only just one year since the coronation of his royal Majesty the King, Oba Ewuare II, saluted as one of the most revered monarch in the whole of Africa and whose stool is also so revered it doesn't allow for any controversies whatsoever. "Omo N'OBA N'EDO Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II", being the full title and name, is The Oba of the great Benin Kingdom and the revered leader of the proud and historic Bini people of Edo State.

There's the common saying that has become the stuff of legend, where it is commonly said that "Oba no dey leave the Palace", this connotes that at any time the king steps out of his palace, it has to be for only very very important reasons and functions, his is not the stool where, he is just seen just about anywhere and everywhere, just for any reason. So the king and by extension his stool is not taken for granted, neither is it seen as being cheap and therefore very very highly respected.

The current king who took over the baton from his late father, the great Omo N'oba Erediauwa, who reigned from 1979 till 2016 that is 36 long years; has since he came on board and became the King of the Benin empire added a new modern twist to the throne. Just imagine this photoshoot of him and not just him alone, it includes his royal harem and gorgeous kids too!

This shoot was part of the celebration and commemoration of his one year reign on the throne of his forefathers.

We just love the in your face royal red outfit, that is highly favoured by the Benin monarchs, including Oba Ewuare II here and the coral beads of very high value. The "Oomph factor" here is the very handsome king himself who has given the royal garb life and then the gorgeous family portrait.

Congratulations your royal highness, may your reign continue to be very colourful and very impactful and may it as long, if not longer than your father's reign.

Happy first anniversary sir.

CELEBRATION GALORE AT OBA DR ADEDAPO TEJUOSHO'S 28TH CORONATION ANNIVERSARY

Revered monarch and one of the most prominent kings from Ogun State, his royal highness, Oba Dr Adedapo Adewale Tejuosho, the Osile-Oke Ona Egba, Karunwi III, clocked 28 years on the throne of his forbears very recently and to celebrate the occasion, his organisation Oba Karunwi Evangelical Movement organised the 28th hours praise marathon as a form of thanksgiving.

The royal father is an avowed Christian, who has for several years now, proudly carried the flag of his faith very openly, without fear or favour.

The very lovable king, who is a wonderful father to 20 plus kids, and the husband of 3 gorgeous and quite colourful Oloris (queens) was crowned March 20, 1989 exactly and this year is his 77 birthday.

The king has had many momentous opportunities to showcase his faith to the admiration of all. The only son of the 3rd Iyalode of Egbaland, which is the highest cheiftaincy title a woman can hold in the land, in 2005 when he was 67 years old caused to be removed from his father's compound the Obatala idol, which caused a lot of anger against him then, by the traditionalists. In fact another King then rose in open opposition against him, castigating against going against the tradition and culture of the land, that Oba actually died a year later.
