@edokingdomtales: THE DAY BENIN LOST A GREAT KING… 👑🕊️ On December 11, 1978, the passing of Oba Akenzua II, the 38th Oba of Benin, was officially announced to the public. His death brought an end to a remarkable reign and began a new chapter in Benin history. Following the ancient succession traditions, the process eventually led to the coronation of his son, Oba Erediauwa, as the 39th Oba of Benin. One throne. Two great Obas. One unbroken tradition. 👑 Follow for more stories from the history and heritage of Benin Kingdom. #BeninKingdom #edohistory #EdoToTheWorld #fyp #edopride
