At the recent coronation of the 40th Oba of
Benin, Oba Ewuare II, three gorgeous women
beautifully decked in the royal Benin
costume were right beside him and they are
his wives. The new Oba of Benin is married
to three wives; Princess Iroghama
(Obazuaye N’erie), Princess Iyayiota
(Obazuwa Nerie) and Princess Ikpakpa ( Ohe
N’erie).
On March 30, the Oba of Benin inducted his
three wives into the royal court of the
kingdom, following the conferment of
traditional titles on them in Benin.
The first wife, Princess Iroghama, was
named the Obazuaye N’erie, the second wife
Princess Iyayiota was named the Obazuwa
N’erie, while the third wife, Princess Ikpakpa
was named the Ohe N’erie. The
Obadagbonyi of Benin Kingdom, Chief
Osagie Utetenegiagbe, announced the titles
to the ecstatic crowd after a colorful cultural
display.
Also, as part of the activities that ushered
the Oba into his throne, he took delivery of
his brand new 2016 customised Rolls Royce
Phantom. The car was launched at a
thanksgiving ceremony which took place at
Holy Arousa Cathedral, Benin City.
The wonder on wheels is worth a staggering
460,000 dollars, which is about 200 million
naira. The Oba also moved into a massive
mansion which will serve as his official
residence. The number plates of the vehicle
have his name and emblem drawn on them
in gold.
