Residents of Benin kingdom comprising the seven local government areas which constitute Edo South Senatorial district have been directed not to cook with fire on Sunday, June 5, 2016 in honour of Oba Erediauwa who joined his ancestors recently
Sunday, June 5, 2016 is the day of Igberimwin in the royal funeral rites programme.
In a telephone interview with a correspondent of ionigeria.com, the Secretary to the Benin Traditional Council, Mr. Frank Irabor emphasized that cooking is prohibited in the entire Benin Kingdom on that day. He advised residents to prepare their food for the day on Saturday Night.
He also advised that residents of the Kingdom could eat a lot fruits on that day.
Asked if residents could use electric cooker to prepare their food, he said no.
His words: “Anything that has fire should not be used to cook People can prepare their the night before. They can also eat a lot of fruits that day”
The local government areas in Benin Kingdom include Ikpoba-Okha, Uhunmwonde, Egor, Oredo, Orhionmwon, Ovia North-East and Ovia South-West.
According to Irabor, “the cooking without fire was in accordance with Benin customs and tradition.
All Benins as well as non-indigenes in the kingdom are expected to observe the Igberimwin rites.
We will stay fasting,
Not true. Fake news
Before you make comments, why don’t you read first . I am sure if you had read this story, you wouldn’t have made the comment. Is the Benin Traditional Council lying or what?
Because I have not heard such news

You can use electric cooker or gas cooker for your cooking but no firewood.

I only wish they can make them face to face to us the binis on our land…its no fault of ours that we have a history and culture that will forever adorn the pages of history books round the world till the end of time…go and cebrate your own cultures and historic relevance if you have any….and for the dunce who said Christianity hasn’t reached Benin…you may be shocked on the last day that you won’t enter Gods kingdom.. Remove the log in your dirty eyes before you remove the speck in ours..sad thing is most of you branding these acts of our culture &tradition demonic…are hemp smokers,adulterers, cheats & wicked people who may not even make heaven should Christ come to judge the world today.. Please mind your business and let us do our own thing
Kenneth Eastwood you should go on your knees and seek for everlasting forgiveness from God, because i can’t imagine what will befall you in days to come mark my words, u nor fear u con dey open dis ur smelling stincking mouth dey abuse a whole JESUS CHRIST that you know he can short out ur fucking life in a twinkle of an eye be warn and better repent or else your family will not see ur rotten copse to bury

Ekama Glory Agube, Saintrich Don, and all you claiming stupid jesus Christ and wishing me death, well very soon just hope you guys are all alive when the New world Order would be implemented, all religions must be eliminated from the face of the Earth, and if you still don’t give up your belief system, you would be lynched or killed, we don’t need all this religions in the world, as for the death threat I’m not afraid of death every Man must die, i have so many Christians friends who died younger than my age, so fuck your stupid jesus Christ and Jehovah, I’m God and i don’t give a fuck about what you think.
When that time comes you would shout Anti christ, but the aim is to eliminate every religion, you must denied Christ or you die.
Kenneth Eastwood NA GOD GO PUNISH FOR THIS BLASPHEMY
Saintrich Don, i think you are a gay, you love jesus right? Go and suck his Dick then fix it in your ass, we don’t need that here. We are Africans.
Saintrich Don, fuck you and your fucking God
OH!!!! My God, Who is this Kenneth Eastwood ,God please forgive him bcos he don’t know what he is doing.
Obum he really don’t knw…can he even talk to his fellow men like dis? Thank God for His mercies dat endures forever….just imagine his mentality? Jesus! Thank God 4 who u are oh
Kenneth Eastwood can’t you see that you are already wasted element, because you have already wasted the precious life God has given you, all am saying to you is that our God is a God of mercy, so you still have time to beg for forgiveness because the car that will take u to hell fire will not have break, if you still refused to confess Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour, i know why you are bragging with this your empty chest, na Illuminati wen u join new na e dey catch u 4 body u this empty vessel
Saintrich Don, i don’t have your time, i have Lost so many christain friends, you are not going to live forever, I died every day in other to survive, you are an ignorant Man, go and suck the stupid jesus Dick, jesus is fake, I’m whom I’m you can just go on your kneels and worship me I’m GOD, your God ain’t shit.
Saintrich Don, very soon you won’t profess the name of christ hence you be hanged, Christ will not save you either jesus would failed you.
Kenneth Eastwood i don’t have time for you, because you are a jobless fool
it’s true
Bcos u lost Christian friends does not mean dat Jesus is not real!He (Jesus)only want to show u what u don’t have,accept Jesus as Lord &Saviour and u wil see dat ur life wil never remain d same again.God bless u.
Kenneth may actually be d real gay

Hmmmmmmmm
Nonsense. It is repudiated and barbaric. We are in a modern life, not in a primitive life. It is hoped that they are not enforcing it.
Can u define d word barbaric? U’r a fool for saying that to our culture… Mtcheeew. Wat nonsense modernisation r u talking abt. All over d world, UK, Europe, Asia, America, people still observe their culture, buh u wan to keep ur brains colonised
Don’t be stupidy. Honestly, some cultures are outdated. It is not fitted for present situation. For example, human being sacrifice. To mention, but just one. It is repudiated and barbaric. It is not fitted for modern time. It needs to be redefined. @Thomas Okoruwa.
@oloye!!!!
Am not surprised at your infantile outburst. You don’t have culture.
If I were you I would have shut my mouth and behave as if am in church.
Must you comment.
Bloody nonentity.
Ewe!!!!!
@Lawson Akhigbe, u don’t have culture, but u have idolatry. U refuse to change from ur evil ways. Hell is abode of those who love evil rather than good. U don’t feel shamed. What’s ur pride? U are an evil.
@ Oloye David Olabode. I don’t know Y pple bother about this when we all know it is not enforceable.
U are just informing the public now. Nigerians can’t read ur mind. Nigerians are acting on ur words. Don’t blame nigerians. Blame urself for communicaton gap. @Jim Badru.
David pls learn to respect other people’s culture. Nobody asked to to do whatever. Simply don’t question wht u don’t kno abt.
@oloye am much surprise at ur comment, from ur name ur Yoruba n they also hv their culture, so tell me d crime in not cooking wit firewood for just 1 day. if ur church say dry fasting will u cook not to talk of eating any thing for d period cause u sound like a lost African child come back home my bros.
Abi, Maiye Udoh I like it comments
Oloye David Olabode, you are very stupid and retarded, fuck you and your jesus Christ, do you look like a civilised Man?
I don’t need to exchange words with u. U are people of barbaric culture and idolatry. U are talking blasphemously. Evil people. @Evbo Imade Osarumwense, Maiye Udoh, Dolcetti Annabel & Kenneth Eastwood.
Hahahaha. This kenneth is funny. Jesus loves you. If u like keep insulting from now till tomorrow. Its only Jesus u can insult like this. Try and insult another name and see what happens next. He loves u no matter the insult.
Nike
Mornike don’t mind him…thank God he is not man, can he even insult d OBA LIKE DAT?
“Na from Clap, Dance dey start” . A mudu of Gari, with Kuli-kuli & sugar should be okay for u & your family that day.
Why?
When in ROME BEHAVE LIKE A…..,
Culture is culture, I respect Benin kingdom for their rich traditions
Well which ever way, it is 4dem
It is for the indigene/natives only.
Better
So wetin dem go eat drink Garri and kulikuli abi?
No. Fruits. Bread. Sardines. Etc
Indigenes strictly abi
No yawa. But they can microwave eba or tea or salad or fufu or bread or even pure water.
Hahahahaha
That culture is too strong!
So people should not eat
Hahahah lols… That’s wickedness not tradition
Which type of tradition is That
all christian shud nt obey
Traditions!!!
What about using microwave?
Why, so what will the people eat?
Benin! Una never still comot hand from rubbish? This is 2016 ooo….
U wen don commot hand,what av u accomplish
The peace of God which passes every human understanding.
How come someone’s culture turns to rubbish?.If it where to be imported Roman/Greek culture,u will be shouting around.This is what Fela calls Kolo mentality.Proudly African.Mother of nature.
Mr. man culture is culture and it has to be respected regardless of whatever doctrine you think you are practicing. If it was to come from abroad it will be welcome, but in Africa that is where you will hear is not right
@benjamin chekwube and @ajibero opeyemi ambrose. You are talking about culture…the culture that didn’t help when white people came to cart away million’s of people as slaves.. the stupid traditions that was so blind and lame it never gave the kings a vision that slavery was coming.. hold on to the backward culture owk.. good luck with that.
*killing of twins was our culture ooo…. Am saying this to you who said “culture is culture and must be observed”. Plz I am a custodian of my own culture. Am an Isoko man. BUT WE HAVE PUT AWAY EVERY TRADITION/CULTURE THAT:
*Infringe fundamental human rights
*defies common sense.
*is barbaric. During the festival held in my community, boys rape/molest any girl that comes out. BUT NOW, THE GOOD SIDE OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION HAS SHAPE OUR MENTALITY.
*Would u doubt me if I told you: “most of our tradition/culture are bedeviled by sheer barbarism”?
Bt Synod J Ozore our good lord does not ask u to criticise others people culture.
Who told you so? Jesus Christ (if He’s the one u r referring to) spent almost all His lifetime, criticising the PHARISEES.
*BESIDES, AM NOT TALKING RELIGION HERE. AM TALKING ACTS THAT ARE CRIMINAL IN OUR CONSTITUTION. Your religion/tradition/culture is not supposed to make you:
*kill someone,
*deprive someone of his primary right, etc…. Imagine the Christians, Hare Krishna, atheists, etc denied right to live JUST BCOS SOMEBODY WANTS TO PRACTICE WHAT MAKES ONLY HIM HAPPY. Haba! If the Bishop of Benin diocese declares something similar, how u go react? Are all Benin people in support of the obviously barbaric tradition?
We did not come to Nigeria to practice religion. We came to #LIVE . Live ur life, and allow others live theirs too.
Strike a difference between idolatry and tradition.
That is why many of u fail exams,dont cook on sunday is it the same as dont eat?
examiner. lol
U r right
Sum People wud neva stop failing exams.lack of wisdom
REALLY ? SO HOW WLD THEY KNOW IF AM COOKING INSIDE A GATED HOME….I THINK WHAT THEY MEAN IS NO OPEN FIRE …..HABA…..WOULD THEY GO AND CONTROL THOSE MANSIONS IN GRA ?
Forceful Fast?
TO EAT WHAT
Because its a tradition that has its origins from Africa people can come here to say all sorts of rubbish but few days ago an innocent woman was beheaded for allegedly blasphemy against an Arabian who might have or not leaved about 1400 years ago and people find reasons to justify such barbaric actions. yearly, the Christians forbids eating of meat in honour of christ, their God another semite who might or not have leaved around 2000 years ago. If the edo people choose to honour the memories of their late king in any way, I think they are free to do so however, my only reserves against such pronouncement is that they should make it clear if people can cook using other means such as microwave or electric stoves.
You are 100% right my broda
Oga your argument is somehow. Those two personalities you mentioned have attained the status of a god or God by those who believe in them. Oba of Benin does not have such status. However I don’t support killing and I like your freeness
U are a big fool for comparing my beloved Christ in this
Oga Why Not Go Necked One Day For Your Amadioha Or Are U From Sky.
@Emmanuel Ojong, didn’t our beloved Christ say we shldn’t call smbody a fool.
U cn make ur point without abusing another person.
Haahah. A big fool indeed, any one that does not believe in Jesus is a big fool.
Oga no NEPA or PHCN to cook ooo
Tk u my friend
I’m a muslim and i respect other people believe
You can’t do my
I can’t do yours
So pls everyone should hold his or her side
I’m not surprised by the comments of some self acclaimed Christians here, especially those who think I am a fool for my position in condemnation of extremism, the irony of the whole scenario is that these same set of people will call for the head of that Muslim who beheaded Bridget but in truth, they are all guilty of the same crime of intolerance before God and deserve the same punishment as that barbarian.
olisa obi go an site down dere is only 1 true God, to hell with u tradition and belive.
Chidon isreal, the owner of God you clearly a threat to world peace.
Nawa oo
another problem plus the one on grand already
Olisa Obi is right. People’s tradition must be respected.
olisa obi dont mind all this critics africa dont even have a religious we are only know with tradition all this religious we are practising now is just a borrow thing
Where did you read your conclusion that christians declared no eating of meat to remember Jesus Christ? just a question before you cast aspersion on me because I know what you said is not true and is not biblical.
One thing I like is wen everyone is matured enough to kn every other person has their own right of opinion, pls its just a discussion and does n call for insult. Pests be mature enough
How about telling those that hold the same believe as the traditionalists to observe the ritual rather than making the pronouncement on everybody leaving in Benin. Well I remember when I was leaving in Benin, there is a particular period they don’t bury the dead but Muslims do because it is against their beliefs, so also this will be I hope
It’s absurd when we call ourselves Christians and we can’t tolerate or respect each other. Jesus Christ didn’t teach us this way. He said if somebody slaps your right ear turn the left, but when somebody just talk, nah to course be d next thing. Please, let us always exercise patience, there is nothing like peace. May the Lord forgive us.
Emmanuel Ojong, fuck Jehovah fuck jesus Christ, and fuck you, you are a retarded brainwashed moron, useless animal, free yourself from mental slavery monkey.
Most African christains and muslim are hypocrite and foolish, fuck jesus Christ, fuck Jehovah. You are brainwashed and mentally caged, retarded morons, there is no greater tradition like Africa.
God have Mercy
Can u imagine what kind of tradition is this? Lord show mercy
In my own church we eat meat oh. Those christians not eating meat na dem sabi why. I did not read in the Bible not to eat meat on a particular day, week, month or year.
Why are you drinking panadol for another person’s headache. If you are not Bini, then let the Binis honour their late monarch as their tradition demands. It is their business!
Kenneth Eastwood, watch the use of ur language pls. May God Jahovah forgive u.
Kenneth Eastwood or Westwood, may God show you mercy. Even the Devil fears God how much less you mortal.
Pls, everybody here, pray for Kenneth and others like him
kenneth Tell Jesus to Forgive you please. may God have mercy on you
Lol…Reading comments…may God have mercy on us all and whoever that does not need the mercy of God, dont critcize me nor insult God. kindly bring it back to me. I need it most.
Kenneth Eastwood what i find intresting about your comment is you never said fuck any Muslim prophet, abi you dey fear e for pure for you.
The Benin’s have the right to bury their oba in the way they wish, for it is their culture and belief and the oba of Benin represents the culture of his people. Remember that every ruler is the custodian of a people’s culture and tradition.
Jst passing by
make dem de eat paw paw and mango
What are you going to serve them?
Who is doing the house to house monitory?
Including Christians ?
That tradition need to be abolished, its wickedness
Shut up,what is wicked there.is not by force ok
They are not binis, that is why they are making mouth. Jobless pple
Lol.. the funny thing is.. this people. These people claim to be Christians.. but they won’t leave this voodoo culture.. the culture that has never help nobody’s development…fuck the king.. my grandpa died last year..he was,a good man that made an impact in my life.. so I miss him a lot. I don’t know who the hell the king is..

Tink b4 u comment. Ramadan z d tradition of d ancient Arabs, fasting z d tradition of the ancient Jewish, yet u observe n follow them(even though they’re nt ur culture) how much more d African culture. Ur brain z still being colonised wake up
Tradition from Arab? But its Holy Quran…its one of d five pillars of Islam, not tradition in anyway… And moreover what bring issue of religion to this? So u too try to use ur IQ before making any comments.. You are free to make ur comments but nothing concern u abt my own comment..

Then one can use hotplates at least there won’t be fire
Wht kind of nonsence nd usless traditions is dat?
nothing useless abt it respect other ppls traditions but ur bowing down to d Roman god n goddess jeus n irus clone Jesus.
Very bad tradition
bad in wat way? if d church say dry fasting u know u will not put any thing in ur mouth while they say no cooking wit fire so u can eat fruits.
Maiye Udoh light and darkness has nothing in common ok, so dnt compare d house of God with diabolic things

The great Benin kingdom……i love culture …… rest in peace my great king.
they are on their own.
What is i chose to cook with firewood what ll happened or na d dead dey feed me ? Rubbish
Rest in peace my OBA.i will cook 2moro after church.
The Binis are very civilized people with very rich custom. Do not cook with fire does not imply that u should not eat. Atleast for once don’t eat those rubbish u call cooked food. Eat vegetables that can keep u alive like salad and many others like that, they are healthier.
How many old peeps sabi eat salad oga
@ Augustina. Tell them to learn it now cos it is good for them.
Oga Vincent what do you Mean don’t cook those rubbish you call food? Just the way salad is good for the body that’s is how rice, beans and vegetables sauce is good for the body, so I wonder which food you are calling rubbish.
@SANDRA, don’t mind me jo. Maybe i was over reacting to those who were saying all kind of things concerning our culture just ‘cos we are asked not to set fire for just one day. Sandra, hope u ate sha to maintain ur good weight. Hahaha,…..
Sometimes some persons cry more than the bereaved. If a pronouncement was made for d benins let it be for d benins . Save ur data and do something else online instead of posting rubbish.

Fuck the culture…
Momoh Sofiftycent, fuck you and jesus Christ, fuck Jehovah, you are retarded brainwashed moron.
There is nothing we wil nt see nor hear in dis Nigeria o
Some people just like to argue blindly, while some don’t read well before jumping into conclusions. Don’t cook is different from don’t eat. Even if u don’t have stove or gas, you would have prepared some meals and snacks in the previous day, it’s only for one day. Let’s respect culture and if its not in your nature, waka pass.
you can eat but dnt set fire
I wish I was residing in benin.. i will cook the whole day and absolutely nothing will happen..nonsense..Folks are here talking about culture and traditions…..the culture that didn’t help when white people came to cart away million’s of people as slaves.. the stupid traditions that was so blind and lame it never gave the kings and fetish priests a vision that slavery was coming.. hold on to the backward culture owk.. good luck with that.
But the white brought Bible to brainwashed you into slavery and you still worship them, you are stupid and retarded, fuck you and your jesus Christ, monkey.
@Kenneth Eastwood..its very awkward you the one here who still got a slave name attached to yo monkey ass…Lol.. u should explain to me wat pains u exactly….plus yo punk ass didn’t answer my question.. u too dumb to do that prolly..how come the culture and traditions couldn’t foresee what was going to happen?..and it’s very apparent u don’t know shit about your history… they MIGHT have forced slavery on us.. but dey never forced Christianity on us.. it’s a thing of choice.. ask your grand dad..that’s if he knows history and he’s will to tell u the truth…he’d tell u how your kings sold slaves to the white people for bottles of gins, bowler hats,mirrors and all kind of stupid stuff…..hed tell you how it was still black people that pointed to the slave masters where the villages with strong men were.. … the culture that had a lot of twins killed with they mothers cus the tradition states that they were abomination to creation …the culture that hasn’t helped YOU one bit.. pls tell me just one benefit of yo sick, fetishes culture..stupid fuck boy…
Good
Why do u observe Ramadan(Arabic culture cloned as religion) & lent(Jewish custom) yet nobody died of starvation. I wonder y some people can b so dumb n still allow their dunbass brains to b self colonised. If this were to b an American tradition all this olodo that r fortunate to win free mb from their network providers wudnt b here typing jagoons
I hope those who will disobey won’t be beheaded
Dats culture…..Benin pple i luv u all
The whiteman’s stool is sweet than the blacks’!
Them that do know the God they serve shall be strong and do exploit Ezekiel 11:32, how can you ask me nt to cook with fire? What then will i use to cook? If i am from edo not only will i cook today but i will also make fire with wood, this culture no gud at all, my people are perishing for lack of knowledge, i strongly beleive that many christian will cook today.
That is always the problem, u want u religion to be respected but u are disrespecting other people believe and tradition. Did they asked u to come participate? That’s u u guys bring confusion to where u are not invited. Practice ur religion n let others be.
Because you are useless to believed that a white Man religions are superior, fuck you and Jehovah, fuck jesus Christ, brainwashed fool
Musa ibrahim i am very sorry for you, think twice.
Kenneth eastwood or whatever your name is, let me tell you your days are numbered remember we are all strangers in this world this world is nt our home or do you think you are going to remain here on earth?, where will you be on that last day? Is it in heavden or in hell? Where will yo spend your eternity? There is going to be gnashing of teeth on that day, amend your way now that you are still alive and ask God that you are sorry before it will be too late for you, i have pass the message to you.

IF YOU DIE WITHOUT CHRIST. HEAVEN IS REAL AND HELL FIRE IS REAL. YOUR DECISION DETERMINES DESTINY. THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO MAKE HEAVEN OR HELL. REPENT THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT. JESUS IS HIS NAME, THE MIGHTY MAN IN BATTLE. GOD BLESS YOU TREMEMDOUSLY
Whoever listing to him is the one will remaind In hunger, while his children ar busy eating this oba is wickets.
Kenneth Eastwood, what did Jesus do to you that you insult His Holy name.
Do not cook and everybody will not cook, but these same people will not ask if these same people have food to eat not to talk of cook. More so no one will ask how the people are faring to provide for the less privilleged. Mordernization is spreading like wild fire. If not for civilization, killing of twins will still be taking place. After all in a village they abor twins, one must die or the parents will not enter the village with the children. If they do, one must die.
That is deep rooted tradition of benin people lovely, if na delta our pastor for don dey yan opata
May God hv mercy upon dis man dat condemning Jesus Christ here. he don’t know wht he is doing
If it is a part of mourning for the departed monarch, there is no problem as long as idol worship is not attached. For God hates idolatry.
Is it biblical? Which report will you believe? God or all those witches that full edo which Arc Bishop Benson Idahosa fought stand still in his time.
The Bible is not against mourning the dead. There were even professional mournners in Israel in the days of Jesus. But if the ‘no cooking’ day was introduced to mourn their departed king, no problem, but if witchcraft of idol worship is attached, then christians should not be part of it.
