00:00Queen Noamagbe Awuare II is the fourth wife of Benin monarch, his royal majesty, Oba Awuare II and the queen
00:07is also the biological sister of the Oba's fifth wife, Queen Isosa Awuare II, on Thursday early morning night.
00:15Queen Noamagbe apparently used a proxy TikTok account named Queen Awuare back up and accused the Benin Traditional Council, BTC
00:25of dishonest behavior, categorically stating, the BTC lied that Nigeria prominent social media streamer, Habib Hamzat Adelaja aka Pella was
00:35not authorized access into the palace of the Benin monarch where she accidentally met Pella and gave him a motherly
00:42welcome as the queen of the Oba.
00:44An action, the BTC has alleged she breached the palace protocol, hence, she risked being removed or sent packing from
00:51the palace, according to Queen Noamagbe in the apparent TikTok social media proxy account, Pella's visit to the palace is
00:59a mere cover up, that a lot has been happening behind closed door.
01:02She supported her claim with a document that suggests the Benin Traditional Council was aware of Pella coming to the
01:09palace, and the document dated February 23rd, 2026 indicated that the BTC received and acknowledged the letter of Pella planned
01:17visit.
01:18But, if, if, if, if, if the BTC actually wrote back to Pella to notify him about the acceptance or
01:23rejection of his request was not stated, this, the president of Iguabesanmi Movement Worldwide, Asaro Kuchayamu, counted the document and
01:33said,
01:33The receipt of letter at any institution registry doesn't amount to approval, however, the moment the letter is received at
01:41our revered palace registry, it's forwarded to the private office of Ober of Benin, His Royal Majesty, Omo Nobun Edo
01:49Uku Akpilokpolo, Ober of Benin will then instruct the Secretary of Benin Traditional Council, BTC to either write formally or
01:59call those seeking for approval of their letters especially as it's related to
02:03royal visitations, those who lured and deceived Pella without the approval of Benin Traditional Council, BTC are the real problem,
02:11for the avoidance of doubts, Queen Noamagbe may not be first Ober wife to be sent packing from the palace
02:18Ober breached of access into the Monarch Palace, the Ober eldest wife, Queen Irogama Ewuare II had been sent packing
02:26from the palace simply because one of the biological children of the Ober entered the palace allegedly in a manner
02:32the Ober did
02:33not like. This was made known in a reactionary public letter issued on December 30, 2025 by Prince Ezelekai Ewuare
02:42II, the Ober's eldest son who is believed to be the next Ober of Benin, according to Prince Ezelekai.
02:49I want to make it very clear, my mother did nothing wrong, six months ago, my youngest brother allegedly barged
02:57into the palace wanting to see his father. Our father wasn't happy with his approach, as a result, my mother
03:04was told to leave the palace.
03:05I would like to use this medium to plead on behalf of your senior children you wouldn't see, your second
03:12son, your third son and your second daughter, please, whatever our father said they did wrong, please forgive and forget,
03:20time is precious, we want togetherness, not division.
03:23On the issue he had with the Ober over the establishment of the Museum of West African Art, Mowar, Prince
03:31Ezelekai said some of the Ober's children only reach him through middlemen and as such he does not have the
03:36phone number of his biological father, Ober Ewuare II, saying,
03:41what really caused the issue between my father and I was that while I was in Germany, I overheard my
03:47father say unpleasant things about me to a public figure on the phone, I got upset and raised my voice
03:53to my father, something I've never done in my entire life.
03:57As for me, my own father intentionally chose to compose a speech and talk about his eldest son for a
04:04whole five minutes, to wash me publicly over material things, objects, artifacts, a museum, Obaseki, you said Obaseki co-opted
04:15your eldest son, before Prince Ezelekai issued the public statements about his father?
04:20The Ober had on November 7, 2025, during his official and ceremonial visit to the Edo State Government House in
04:28Benin City, called out his eldest son, Prince Ezelekai in a manner that seems to suggest as if the reigning
04:35Ober of Benin Kingdom has the power to choose his successor or the power to decide of whom become the
04:42Crown Prince, Edeikon and thus, Ober Ewuare II created this impression when he said during his speech at the Government
04:49House that
04:50being the first male child of the Ober does not automatically make you the Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom and
04:56the Edeikon of Oselu, saying, it is only when the reigning Ober send a person to be the Edeikon of
05:02Oselu, that is when the person is qualified to be seen and called the Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom and
05:08the Edeikon of Oselu, apparently angered by these words.
05:11Prince Ezelekai on November 11, 2025 issued a statement of apology apparently in an aggressive manner, demanding that the Ober
05:20can take away the titles of Crown Prince, Edeikon of Oselu, Okonukua, Ewuare and Prince from him.
05:27But, his biological name, Ezelekai, meaning, river does not flow and carry away sand or wash away sand, should not
05:37be tempered with, saying, the name Ezelekai was given to him by his grandfather.
05:42And we believed, the name, Ezelekai, probably has a more deeper meaning in line with the traditions and laws of
05:49the people of Benin Kingdom, which significantly also means, leadership, government, Ober or, river, may flow and change.
05:58But the people, their culture, and their traditions, the, sand, remain firmly in place, in line with the foregoing, we
06:07are not aware of any aspect of the Benin traditions that gives an Ober or any human on earth the
06:12power to choose or decide who becomes the Crown Prince, Edeikon or the next Ober of Benin, but, in line
06:19with Benin traditions and history, we may not be wrong to say,
06:23It is only God Almighty that has the power to choose and decide for the people of Benin Kingdom the
06:28person who is qualified to be seen and called the Crown Prince, Edeikon and finally, the Ober of Benin Kingdom,
06:35historically, only God Almighty choose who becomes the Crown Prince, Edeikon and Ober by birth and preservation of the life
06:43of such a person till when times permit him to be the Crown Prince, subsequently become the Edeikon and finally
06:50the Ober of Benin Kingdom,
06:51And for the purpose of clarity, we may not be wrong to say the Benin traditions demand the eldest male
06:57child of the reigning Ober to be seen and called the Crown Prince until a time, the reigning Ober is
07:03aware or expecting to join his ancestors, the reigning Ober will now notify or call the Crown Prince and send
07:10him to Edeikon as the Edeikon of Edeikon, an institutional responsibility demanded of the reigning Ober probably by the traditions
07:17to protect the throne of Benin Kingdom, Edeikon is a title of
07:21A person who acts as a proxy of a person who acts as a proxy of the Ober of Benin
07:24while the reigning Ober is still alive, he leaves the Uselu Palace and moves to the main palace of the
07:31Benin monarch to become the new Ober when the reigning Ober has finally joined his ancestors, the word proxy, according
07:38to Cambridge Online Dictionary, is, someone or something that takes the place of another person or thing, or has the
07:45same meaning, purpose, etc. as the Morit, for the avoidance of doubts.
07:50Crown Prince, Crown Prince Ehanedan Eredi Awa now Ober Ewuare II was sent as Edeikon of Uselu and began his
07:57move to the Uselu Palace on Saturday March 12, 2016 while the reigning Ober, Ober Eredi Awa was still alive,
08:05and for the record, Ober Eredi Awa thereafter was announced to have joined his ancestors on Friday April 29, 2016.
08:132016, also, Crown Prince Solomon ICO Kuoba Igbe Nogodur Akenzua II, who later becomes Ober Eredi Awa was sent as
08:23the Edeikon of Uselu in 1978 and on June 11, 1978.
08:28The then reigning Ober of Benin Kingdom, Ober Eredi Akenzua II was announced to have joined his ancestors.
08:34The above illustration may have clarified that the act of a reigning Ober sending someone to Uselu as the Edeikon
08:41of Uselu is apparently not a, power, to choose or decide who to send.
08:45Rather, it is a job function the reigning Ober is expected to perform by thus sending the one already chosen
08:52by God Almighty right from birth as the Crown Prince, Edeikon, to become the Edeikon of Uselu and thereafter, the
08:59person will move to become the new Ober of Benin when the reigning king becomes of blessed memory.
09:04Pella, the 20-year-old reality or real-life interactive content creator had visited the palace on March 6, 2026
09:13as part of his nationwide tour and was reportedly welcomed by the queen, who also presented him with a gift.
09:20However, the Benin Traditional Council described the visit as a desecration, leading to disciplinary actions including the suspension of a
09:28chief and the detention of palace staff, while Pella was also summoned.
09:32According to the apparent proxy TikTok account of Queen Noamagbe, the queen obviously stated in proxy thus,
09:40Hello everyone, the issues at hand isn't just because Pella came to the palace or me gifting him, a lot
09:46has been happening behind close doors, the Benin Traditional Council lied that Pella coming to the palace was unauthorized and
09:53I brought him to the palace, but I hope I will be able to convince you all that Pella coming
09:58to the palace was authorized.
09:59Look at the stamp on this letter, shows that it was approved by Benin Traditional Council, but they're all lying
10:06on my head, but what I want you to know is that this isn't the main problem because there are
10:10other issues way bigger than what you all thinks.
10:13Thanks to those people who, have, reached out just to check, on, me and to make sure I'm fine.
10:19On March 16, 2026 in a press release signed and made available by Frank Heribor Heribor, the secretary of the
10:28Benin Traditional Council, the BTC said,
10:31The Benin Traditional Council, BTC, wishes to address the public regarding a serious breach of protocol and desecration of the
10:39sacred precincts of the palace, which occurred on Friday the 6th of March 2026.
10:45The council confirms that an individual, Habib Hamzat Adelaja, a social media influencer popularly known as, Pella, gained unauthorized access
10:55to the palace premises on the said date.
10:57Mr. Adelaja and his entourage entered the palace without the requisite permission from the council, and their subsequent conduct caused
11:05significant embarrassment and a breach of the peace within the palace grounds.
11:09The Benin Traditional Council views this incident with the utmost gravity.
11:14The palace is not a public thoroughfare or a location for frivolous content creation.
11:19It is the ancient and spiritual seat of the Oba of Benin, governed by centuries of tradition, custom, and sacred
11:26protocols.
11:27The council has conducted a preliminary investigation into the circumstances that allowed this unauthorized access.
11:35Consequently, stringent disciplinary measures have been taken against palace staff and chiefs who aided this mischievous act.
11:43Specifically, a chief who was implicated in the incident has been suspended indefinitely from the palace.
11:49A staff member of the Benin Traditional Council, identified as Mr. Oumuemu, has been detained by the Nigeria police force.
11:57He has been charged to court for causing a breach of the peace and abetting the unauthorized entry.
12:04Furthermore, it is with deep regret that the council confirms that a queen of the palace who was unfortunately featured
12:10in the incident is now facing serious disciplinary proceedings in accordance with Benin traditions and customs.
12:17These proceedings may inadvertently result in her removal from the palace.
12:21Following the incident, the council, utilizing the same channels within the palace that facilitated the initial entry, extended an invitation
12:30to Mr. Habib Hamzat Adelajah, Pella.
12:33He was requested to appear before a committee of chiefs tasked with investigating the matter to provide his own side
12:40of the story.
12:41Regrettably, Mr. Adelajah has failed to honor this invitation.
12:45The council is therefore using this public medium to demand that Mr. Adelajah present himself immediately to the relevant authorities
12:53within the council.
12:55His unapproved visit has caused untold distress to so many people, and as such, he must tender an
13:01unreserved written apology to the palace for his unauthorized access and the embarrassment caused.
13:07Failure to comply with this directive will leave the council with no option but to pursue legal action.
13:14The appropriate law enforcement agencies have been duly informed of this matter and are standing by to take necessary action
13:21against him.
13:22The Benin Traditional Council assures the public and the entire Benin nation that it remains the unwavering custodian of our
13:30age-old customs and traditions.
13:31While unscrupulous elements may occasionally attempt to undermine our sacred institutions, banking on the fatherly and forgiving disposition of His
13:41Royal Majesty,
13:42Homo Nobunedo, Uku Akpilokpolo, Oberewareil, CFR, they do so at their peril.
13:49The council wishes to state unequivocally that it possesses the institutional tools to immediately correct such infractions and prevent any
13:57reoccurrence.
13:58We thank the public for their concern and support in preserving the sanctity and dignity of the Benin throne.
14:05On November 11, 2025, the believed Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom and the Ed Icon waiting for his time to
14:12be sent to Uselu,
14:14Princess Elekia Ure II issued a public statement via his verified Instagram account, and said thus,
14:21Domo Yumogen, hope you're well.
14:24El hoped it would never get like this, especially my father addressing in-house publicly.
14:29I have apologized several times before but it seems El need to do it again.
14:34I am sorry for how El spoke to you, I'm your son and I'm only human.
14:40You are our father, we all look up to you and love you dearly,
14:43so of course, as our king, you can take Crown Prince, Okonukua, Prince, Ed Icon of Uselu and Emuare,
14:51but please, Leho, leave, Azelekai, for me because my grandfather gave me that name.
14:58You raised me with morals, values and integrity.
15:02As your son imperatively, one thing you can always count on is that I will tell you what others wouldn't
15:08tell you
15:08and speak my opinion on issues that others might be too worried to touch on.
15:13I'll use this medium to plead, please handle the current situation on ground with sagacity.
15:19Our father is the most fastidious, painstaking and meticulous individual known,
15:24so I have almost faith in you.
15:26I pray for you always, pray for good health and long life.
15:31May God and our ancestors continue to give you wisdom, guide and protect you always.
15:36The prince on December 30th, 2025, released another statement via his verified Instagram account and stated that,
15:45over the last few weeks I've received an alarming amount of messages about the welfare of my mother.
15:50I really appreciate your concern but rest assured she is being cared for.
15:56Before the year ends, I choose to address this simply because I wouldn't allow false narratives
16:01about why my mother isn't in the palace.
16:04I want to make it very clear.
16:06My mother did nothing wrong.
16:08Six months ago my youngest brother allegedly barged into the palace wanting to see his father.
16:14Our father wasn't happy with his approach.
16:17As a result, my mother was told to leave the palace.
16:21Our dear father, Domo,
16:23I would like to use this medium to plead on behalf of your senior children you wouldn't see,
16:28your second son, your third son and your second daughter.
16:32Please, whatever our father said they did wrong, please forgive and forget.
16:37Time is precious, we want togetherness, not division.
16:42As for me, my own father intentionally chose to compose a speech and talk about his eldest son for a
16:48whole five minutes,
16:49to wash me publicly over material things, objects, artifacts, a museum, Obaseki.
16:55You said Obaseki co-opted your eldest son.
16:59Domo, our father omitted to mention the part where you were aware and gave your blessing for me to be
17:05on the Legacy Restoration Trust.
17:07It was after I got to Germany that my father then told me on the phone that he had changed
17:12his mind about me being on the board.
17:15I remember being so befuddled and shocked.
17:18There is no way on this earth I would ever be a part of something of this magnitude without getting
17:23green light from you,
17:25on God and our ancestors.
17:27I tried informing you a few times before I left to Germany,
17:31but as our father recalls, you chose to put middlemen in between our direct communication,
17:36which meant you never got my message on time.
17:39You didn't give anyone your direct number,
17:42so I couldn't pick up the phone to inform you personally beforehand.
17:46What really caused the issue between my father and I was that while I was in Germany,
17:51I overheard my father say unpleasant things about me to a public figure on the phone.
17:56I got upset and raised my voice to my father,
18:00something I've never done in my entire life.
18:03Hence why I aforementioned, I'm only human.
18:06Afterwards, I realized the mistake I made.
18:10I pleaded and apologized for four years straight,
18:13wrote countless remorseful letters,
18:15but yet you chose not to forgive and rather keep malice for this long.
18:19I didn't know you had this kind of mind towards your own son,
18:23your first son if I may add.
18:25Why not just call and berate, castigate me privately,
18:29after all, I said I was sorry several times.
18:33After all, no one knew about this but you and I.
18:36It was a father and son issue, that was it,
18:40something private, sensitive but infinitesimal.
18:43You've always taught us not to air our dirty laundry in public,
18:47but the teaching went out the window that day in government house.
18:50You chose to bring our private business to the public domain,
18:55which was so sad and heartbreaking to watch.
18:57My senior sister being on stage with you made me question her intentions towards me,
19:03and that's a horrible feeling.
19:05If our father feels there was nothing wrong with what was said that day,
19:09then who am I to say or think otherwise?
19:12Domo, I'll deal with however you decide to treat me,
19:16but please don't mistreat our mother.
19:18I worry about her sometimes, she's not as young as she used to be.
19:23My mother has done nothing wrong, she has stood by you for years,
19:27raised your children with you for years.
19:30She's mother to all, just as you are father and king to all.
19:34Please, she doesn't deserve this treatment.
19:37The year is coming to an end.
19:39I'm on my knees, let our mother back into her home.
19:43To our leaders, as we enter 2026,
19:46I pray for unity, togetherness, progress, development and peace.
19:52Positive projection of Edo should be priority.
19:55Our long-awaited visit also coincides with time
20:00that the long controversial museum called MOWA
20:05announced plans for its opening.
20:16When I first heard this name,
20:21it was MOWA.
20:44Your excellency, distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
20:49we are therefore constrained to throw light
20:52on the lingering controversy surrounding the museum
20:55called Museum of West African Art.
21:00MOWA was originally conceived as Bini Royal Museum.
21:07Did you all know that?
21:14Originally, before my coronation in 2016,
21:19my grandfather of Akinzwa II,
21:25my father of Bayeridiawa,
21:29and I, by the grace of God now,
21:32of Bayeridiawa II,
21:34have been known to be conversing
21:36for the return of our looted artifacts
21:38by the British in 1897.
21:45Some were returned by the British government
21:48during my grandfather's reign,
21:50and my grandfather sang a song
21:52and danced to it
21:53in appreciation and happiness.
21:57So, which in honor of my grandpa,
21:59I also now do the same song
22:02and danced whenever an artifact is returned.
22:07For Sagolo Maie.
22:10For Sagolo Maie.
22:31As if it is a kind of mysterious way
22:34to summon
22:37the return of other artifacts
22:39out there to come home.
22:43That song.
22:45Yes.
22:46Home.
22:47To be housed
22:48in the proposed Bini Royal Museum.
22:52Not anywhere else.
22:54Some were returned
22:55during my father's reign.
22:58This was
22:59well celebrated
23:01during the former
23:02governor's comrade,
23:04Mishu Moli's administration,
23:05who joined the palace
23:07to receive the artifacts.
23:10As a diplomat,
23:12I carried on the struggle
23:13of my fathers
23:15for the return
23:16of the artifacts
23:18to the palace
23:20to the palace
23:21to far corners
23:21of the globe
23:23because I was fortunate
23:24to save my country
23:25in several countries.
23:28I presented
23:30my letters of credence
23:32to the king of Sweden,
23:35king of Norway,
23:38and queen of Denmark,
23:41and president
23:43of Finland.
23:47president of Angola,
23:51president of Rome,
23:53and Albania,
23:55Republic of Albania.
23:57I invited
23:58Dr. Nombaseki
23:59shortly after
24:00he was sworn in
24:01in 2017.
24:05I intimated him
24:06of how much
24:07my father and I
24:08had been fighting
24:10for the return
24:12of the stolen artifacts.
24:13I solicited
24:15for his collaboration
24:16being the new governor
24:18of the state
24:19and I the new
24:20over on the throne.
24:22He promptly agreed
24:24to support this effort.
24:26On my second
24:27coronation anniversary,
24:29he was called
24:30to make some remarks
24:31and surprised everyone
24:32when he informed us
24:34that he had been meeting
24:35with the Bini Dialogue group,
24:37some museums,
24:38and international donors
24:40who were already
24:41cooperating with him
24:42for the setting up
24:44of the Bini Royal Museum
24:48and that he has
24:49invited them to Bini
24:50for the next meeting.
24:54He then said
24:55he couldn't see
24:56any better coronation
24:58anniversary gift
25:02he could give to me
25:03than that.
25:07Everyone applauded him
25:10but somehow
25:10I was not so excited.
25:13I had a bad feeling
25:14about it.
25:16He said I wanted
25:17to be jumpy for joy.
25:19I had a bad feeling
25:21about it
25:21as if something
25:23was wrong
25:24or going to go wrong.
25:26I'm sure
25:27my ancestors
25:28were prompting me
25:31not to believe
25:32the story.
25:39Then there was
25:42silence
25:44after that.
25:46Silence
25:48from Governor Basaki.
25:52COVID-19
25:54came in
25:54and complicated issues.
25:56During the period
25:57of COVID-19
25:58I believe
26:00the evil
26:01the plan
26:04the bad plan
26:05evil plan
26:06was also being
26:07perfected.
26:09That was the period
26:10they found out
26:11that a lot of money
26:12is coming
26:12with the artifacts
26:13to the palace
26:14and they decided
26:16to divert
26:19to divert it
26:20into their own
26:21pockets.
26:25Suddenly
26:26I saw
26:27that they
26:27co-opted
26:29my eldest son
26:32into their
26:33conspiracy
26:34because
26:34they felt
26:36they would see
26:37him
26:38as the
26:39Grand Prince of Benin
26:40they see him
26:40as the Grand Prince of Benin
26:42that would prove
26:44that they are
26:44collaborating
26:45with the palace.
26:51And if they dragged
26:52him along
26:52with them
26:54they would have
26:56succeeded
26:57in convincing
26:57international donors
26:58particularly
26:59Germany
27:01that they are
27:02collaborating
27:02with the palace.
27:07my dear son
27:08said
27:09that they
27:11constituted
27:13the Legacy
27:14Restoration
27:15Trust
27:16and they
27:17have given
27:18him a board
27:18seat.
27:20I didn't
27:21send him
27:22there.
27:24He looked
27:25excited
27:25of course.
27:27Poor child.
27:29He didn't
27:30understand
27:31the implications
27:31of what he
27:32was getting
27:32himself into
27:33because he
27:34didn't remember
27:35or didn't care
27:36to remember
27:37what I had
27:38been teaching
27:39him
27:40about people.
27:46For avoidance
27:47of doubt
27:48the German
27:51government
27:51et al
27:54and others
27:56who did
27:56not even
27:57understand
27:57our
27:58traditions
27:59and did
28:00not care
28:00to come
28:01to the
28:01source
28:01to find
28:02out
28:03for reasons
28:04best known
28:04to them
28:05perhaps
28:05because they
28:06were also
28:06having
28:07interests
28:07of their
28:08own
28:08in the
28:08artifacts
28:13they would
28:14have found
28:14out that
28:15the
28:15other son
28:16of the
28:16upper
28:16beneath
28:16is not
28:17automatically
28:17the
28:18crown prince
28:18of beneath
28:19even though
28:20our system
28:21of secession
28:22is based
28:22on the
28:23principle
28:23of primogeniture
28:24until
28:28his father
28:29the reigning
28:30oba
28:30pronounced
28:31him so

28:36over
