Oba Of Benin: Panic and Fear Over Traditional Rituals

-

There was tension within the
Benin metropolis and adjoining
towns yesterday, following the
announcement of the death of
the Oba of Benin Kingdom,
HRM Oba Erediauwa by the
palace chiefs on Friday.

Many residents, especially
women as well as visitors,
remained indoors for fear of
being used as sacrifice,
following rumours of
traditional burial rites that may
include human heads.
Markets in Benin remained
closed yesterday as mourning
of the deceased Oba began.
When LEADERSHIP Sunday
went around the metropolis
yesterday, it was found that
the popular New Benin Market
and similar markets were
closed just as operators of
other business outlets closed
their shops ahead of the
normal closing hours in the
day.
Some of them were seen
hurriedly locking up their
shops around evening, not
wanting to be outside at dusk.

Popular relaxation spots in the
metropolis were also closed
for business.
A palace source however told
LEADERSHIP Sunday that the
apprehension was
unnecessary as the rumoured
practice of human sacrifice
was non-existent.

The more a woman gives birth, the more likely it is for her vagina to slacken because her vaginal walls get stretched out. 2) Frequent Masturbation And Sexual Activity: The vagina contracts and expands every time you have sex with your partner or masturbate. With repeated contractions and expansions, the vaginal walls would tend to slacken and lose their elasticity. There can be several other reasons for a woman to have a loose vagina which may include:  Menopause, Aging, etc. Have you ever wondered what makes some men get h

I Wish I Could Get an Opportunity to Use My Legs Again…Yinka Ayefele Some people do not have the heart of thanksgiving no matter the little they have and this sometimes makes our creator wonder if He is not worth glorifying with the high rate of laments from many. This is coming on the point where popular gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele, had recently disclosed during the Julius Agwu, show 'Life As I See It, THE Rebirth' over the weekend that one of his greatest wish would have been a second chance to be able to walk with his legs again. The singer stated that some people do not have the mouth of thanksgiving but rather continue to complain without appreciating God for the little he has already provided. He said: “Some of us standing in front of me right now do not understand the wonders God Almighty has done in our lives. We are here to celebrate the rebirth of another individual whom God has given another chance after his successful brain surgery
